brought some windy and wet weather to southern parts of the uk yesterday, and as that has cleared off into europe, we have got this cold plunge of north—westerly winds ringing that much cooler air, and so far this autumn, it has been very mild, but these are the numbers on the doors, 8—13 for most of us, generally a degree or two below the seasonal average, generally a degree or two below the seasonalaverage, quite generally a degree or two below the seasonal average, quite windy as well, with gusts up to 30mph across northern areas. overnight tonight, showers continue to come into north—western areas. the cloud will keep temperatures up at about eight degrees in belfast and glasgow. further south, degrees in belfast and glasgow. furthersouth, it degrees in belfast and glasgow. further south, it is colder, and there might even be an odd bit of frost in the countryside in the south. on friday we have got north—westerly winds ahead of this ridge, it will start off dry with some sunshine across much of southern england and wales but the north—westerly winds will be feeding

in extensive cloud across north—western areas. in these areas there will be frequent showers, and for some it could turn out to be quite a damp day. away from those areas, there will be a fair amount of sunshine, probable either best of it across north—eastern scotland. for the weekend, we are going to start to get south—westerly winds feeding back in which we'll be bringing us some milder air back across the uk, and temperatures coming back up to average and perhaps a degree or two above. on saturday we have some rain in western areas. some fog patches around the coasts, and temperatures, 13-15. around the coasts, and temperatures, 13—15. forthe around the coasts, and temperatures, 13—15. for the second half of the weekend, it is looking pretty unsettled. generally showery, with a fair bit of cloud, although there will be some sunny spells. particularly across eastern areas.

they will progress if they beat the hosts oman. scotland have two wins from two in the first round, having beaten papua new guinea and bangladesh. bangladesh themselves have to beat papua new guinea if they are to reach the next round. and it's looking good so far. skipper mohammed mahmudullah reached 50 as they set papua new guinea — who are already eliminated — a target of 182. in reply, papua new guinea haven't started well. they're 21 for 4. england captain eoin morgan says he's willing to drop himself if his poor run of form continues for the t20 world cup. although they beat new zealand in their final warm—up match yesterday, morgan managed just ten of england's innings of 163 for six. they take on the west indies in their first match on saturday. despite what his skipper says, david willey doesn't think you can ever count morgan out.

he is one of those guys, he turned to when it counts. so don't be surprised if he had an absolute blinder of a tournament and comes out as top scorer or something, because he is one of those players, he is a matchwinner with a bat but his captaincy alone is phenomenal. staying with cricket and opener dom sibley has withdrawn from the england lions squad for the tour of australia this winter. last week the 26—year—old was named in the iii—strong squad, which will shadow the main england ashes party. but england say "after much thought and consideration" warwickshire's sibley has decided to work on his batting at home in a bid to regain a place in the test team. yorkshire batter harry brook has been added to the lions squad. great britain s women won bronze in the sprint final at the track cycling world championships, which is encouraging ahead of paris 202a. lauren bate, sophie capewell,

blaine ridge—davis and milly tanna all made their championship debut, beating japan in the bronze—medal final and coming home more than half a second clear. afterwards, davis said it was a dream come true. some sports struggled badly during the covid restrictions, according to a sport england report. the study, released today, looked at the impact of 12 months of coronavirus restrictions on activity levels covering the period from may last year. it found that, while some activities grew in popularity, others struggled and that there were many inequalities among young and older people, people with long—term health conditions and minority ethnic backgrounds. what stands out from today's survey, which covers the year through to make this year is that the impact of covid is extremely stark for everyone, but it has been particularly difficult for certain particularly difficult for certain part of our community, so the lesson we can learn from this data is that

we can learn from this data is that we have to come back and every single one of us have to think about coming back to more activity, but some parts will need help the most. and just before we go, he doesn't normally stand still for long, but liverpool forward mo salah was motionless — well it looked like mo salah. the striker unveiled a life—size waxwork of himself at madame tussauds in london. he was clearly very impressed with the likeness. the general public will be able to see it from friday. salah has been in great form this season so far, scoring 12 goals in ii appearences. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. police have charged a man with the murder of the conservative mp for southend, sir david amess, who was stabbed

to death last week. ali harbi ali, who's 25, is also facing charges of preparing acts of terrorism. he is due to appear at westminster magistrates�* court this afternoon. within the last hour, matt jukes, the assistant commissioner for specialist operations at the met police, gave an update on the investigation. let's listen back to that. i want to provide you with an update on the investigation into the murder of sir david amess mp. on behalf of everyone involved in counterterrorism, and wider policing, i'd like to offer my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of sir david, who died so tragically last friday. sir david's dedication to his family, his constituents and his community, and his positive impact on the lives of so many, have been abundantly clear since his death. specialist officers continue

to support sir david's family, and all of our sympathies are with them. i would also like to recognise the courage and professionalism of officers from essex police and paramedics for their response to the incident. as you know, last friday, sir david tragically died from serious injuries after being stabbed at a constituency surgery in leigh—on—sea. a man was arrested at the scene. since then, the met�*s counter terrorism command has led the investigation. a large team of detectives have been working around the clock to find out as much as we can about what happened and why. that work has included searches of a number of london addresses. our advanced forensics teams have analysed digital devices and carried out a painstaking review of cctv footage.

i also want to thank witnesses and members of the public who have supported the investigation with information. as a result of all of that work, today we have reached a significant milestone. following the submission of a file of evidence to the crown prosecution service, charges have been authorised. ali harbi ali, aged 25 and from north london, has been charged with murder and the preparation of terrorist acts, contrary to section 5 of the terrorism act 2006. ali remains in custody and will appear at westminster magistrates�* court this afternoon. we will continue to build our case. if there are members of the public who have further information that might help the investigation,

i would urge them to come forward. every piece of information in investigations like this is important, and you will not be wasting our time. please contact us through the anti—terrorist hotline. it remains the case that no other arrests have been made, and at this time we are not seeking anybody else in relation to this incident. there has been considerable speculation in the media about the background history and motivation of the man now charged. i understand the interest in these questions, and, of course, they form part of our investigation. however, now charges have been brought, we will not be providing further information on any aspects of this case, and i would strongly urge anyone interested in the case to exercise restraint when commenting on it publicly.

we all have an interest in ensuring future court proceedings are not prejudiced in any way. i would also like to reiterate the request made by sir david's family that their privacy be respected. i fully understand the significant impact that the attack on sir david has had on his colleagues in the houses of parliament. we have been working closely with parliament's own security team and with the home office to review existing arrangements for mps' security, and that work will continue. police forces across the country have been working with individual mps to review their specific arrangements. alongside this case, it's important for me to stress counterterrorism officers across the uk and the security service and other partners are working night and day to bear down on the threat from terrorism.

our communities play a vital role in those efforts. every day, information given to the police by the public helps our investigations. if you see or hear something suspicious, trust your instincts. contact the police, phone us or contact us in confidence online. in respect of this investigation, although charges have been laid, our work continues, and whilst it does, sir david's family remain in our thoughts. that was a statement from matt jukes, the assistant commissioner for special operations for the metropolitan police. for special operations for the metropolitan police. experts in the us state of florida are investigating whether suspected human remains, found in a park, belong to brian laundrie.

he's the boyfriend of a young woman found murdered in the state of wyoming last month. gabby petito, who kept a travel blog, went missing weeks earlier while on a road trip with mr laundrie. aru na iyengar reports. a possible breakthrough on a florida nature reserve. police using sniffer dogs have been searching for brian laundrie, the fiance of gabby petito, whose body was discovered in wyoming in september. laundrie went home to florida after her disappearance, but went missing himself soon afterwards. his family say he went for a hike and never came back. earlier today, investigators found what appeared to be human remains and personal items, such as a backpack and notebook belonging to brian laundrie. these items were found in an area that, up until recently, had been underwater. the case has provoked widespread media interest. gabby petito's body lay in wilderness before she was found for over a month.

police say she was strangled. mr laundrie has not been charged with any crime relating to the killing of gabby petito, but the fbi issued a federal arrest warrant and charged him with fraudulently using her debit card after her death. the couple had packed their lives into a camper van for a cross—country adventure, starting injuly. they documented theirjourney in a stream of social media posts, but life was not sunny under the surface. this video emerged as the couple travelled through the state of utah. two people came to us and told us that they saw him hit you. they were interviewed, but no further action was taken. she sobs ms petito was crying, talking to officers about her mental health. the murder has triggered a debate about domestic violence, over the amount of attention accorded to white women compared to other missing persons. in addition, whilst the two separate searches for the pair were going on, other bodies of missing people were found.

the fbi says investigations in florida are likely to continue for several days. aruna iyengar, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: police have charged a 25—year—old man ali harbi ali with the murder of conservative mp sir david amess. doctors warn the government is being �*wilfully negligent�* in not imposing more restrictions as cases of coronavirus rise. ministers say it�*s not necessary yet. a 14—year—old boy is charged with the murder of five—year—old logan mwangi, whose body was found in a river in south wales. new research for the bbc has highlighted the mental health anguish of people living with obesity. a survey by ipsos mori found that among adults who responded saying they were obese, almost half reported poor mental health.

many described negative emotions such as shame, embarrassment and despair when they look in the mirror. jeremy cooke reports. i feel weak. i feel like a failure because i can�*t lose weight. that�*s it. good girl. alex is a successful, professional women. mother of two, happily married, comfortable. come on then. this way. life should be good but today�*s survey found of the adults who responded saying they are obese, almost half reported that their mental health is bad. for me i think it was the cycle of mental health, overweight, mental health. and then it feeds. because you�*re overweight, and you�*ve tried so hard to not be and you can�*t change that no matter what you do, you then have the issues of self—esteem that then takes its toll on your mental health. good girl, come here. there is growing scientific evidence that

for those living with serious chronic obesity, the eat less, move more mantra of weight loss is way too simplistic. it may work for many of us but not for those whose genetics and physiology are preprogrammed for weight gain. they are set to fail and they live with the harsh judgment of society. you�*re waking up every single day going, you are not normal, you are too fat, you should be able to do something about this. they told you if you eat well, they told you if you exercise, if you live a healthy life you can lose weight. when doesn�*t happen, you can think, why? what have i done wrong? you blame yourself. today�*s exclusive survey for the bbc also shows that about half of those who said they are living with obesity describe negative emotions, such as embarrassment, self—consciousness and shame when they looked in the mirror. i think obesity and mental health issues are very closely linked. many people experienced difficulties with anxiety,

depression, social anxiety. one of the really significant aspects of this is stigma that people experience on a day—to—day basis because of their obesity, so lots of experiences of being highly self—critical to themselves, and deeply ashamed of their bodies as well. right, watering can. i�*ve got some great support around me. my husband is fantastic. i think that one might have had it. alex is lucky in so many ways but for her, for so many others, living with obesity can bring low self—esteem, even to a life surrounded by love and marked by professional achievement. it doesn�*t make that voice go away. that�*s the thing with mental health. you can logically look your life, you can logically go, i�*ve done this, i�*ve achieved this, i�*m great at this but that�*s irrelevant. you know? there�*s something in my head saying to me, doesn�*t matter,

you�*re still fat, you can�*t lose weight, you�*re a failure. it�*s soul destroying. does it cast a shadow over everything? yeah, absolutely everything i do. do you feeljudged? yep, absolutely. notjust by other people but by myself. those locked in daily battle with their obesity know that it�*s hard — often a lifelong struggle. modern medical advances, surgery and drugs can help but what alex wants is a shift in mindset, to feel lessjudged. i think ijust need some kindness. i need kindness from others but i mostly need kindness from myself. i think that could be the help i need. jeremy cooke, bbc news. governments all around the world are trying to find ways to tackle climate change. one of the biggest problems is our use of fossil fuels. whether it�*s warming our homes — or powering our vehicles — finding an alternative is crucial.

now, a company in scotland is exploring a solution that seems a little unusual. the bbc�*s tim allman has the story. there is apparently an old proverb that says "what whisky will not cure, there is no cure for". but, does its magical properties extend to saving the environment? well, maybe. here at the glengoyne distillery, they have been making whisky for almost 200 years. but it is what they throw away that could turn out to be so useful. from these malted barley grains, a biofuel is created that can power this car. this is made from living carbon, from the residues of an industry that is one of the most important industries in the scottish economy and we can take their residue and turn them into something that we need right now made from sustainable resources. what they end up with is acetone, butanol and ethanol, chemicals used in everything from fuel and food production to medicine and cosmetics.

the company behind it says this is a sustainable and environmentally friendly process. our view is that we can continue to use these chemicals in everything from health care to hygiene, and we can make it for more sustainable resources in a circular economy. we are not telling everybody in the world what you can do but showing how we can innovate and do things differently. this plant can produce around i million litres of biochemicals and they want to build five more refineries in the next five years. whisky has been described as liquid sunshine. sunshine brings light, and hope. tim allman, bbc news. artificial intelligence is changing how we interact with everything, from food, health care and travel but also, religion. experts say that major global faiths are now discussing their relationship with al, and some are starting to incorporate the technology into their worship.

robot priests can recite prayers, perform funerals, and even comfort those experiencing a spiritual crisis. so is al going to transform how people experience faith? our global religion reporter sofia bettiza has the story. artificial intelligence, ai, the technology that allows a computer to think like a human. welcome to the church of england. and different faiths around the world are starting to use it. inside this church is a robotic prayer companion. my name is santo. what brings you here on this beautiful day? let us pray. santo is programmed with 2,000 years of knowledge about the catholic faith. i think it is impressive.

it�*s a bit like catholic alexa. do you think it gave you a satisfying answer? well, i think that�*s the problem with artificial intelligence, sometimes the answers are very vague. he is helping you finding your own answer. people here have mixed feelings about the robot. most of them said they prefer a human priest but they were surprisingly open—minded. one of them said anything that brings you closer to god is a good thing. santo, tell me about resurrection, please. yes, i think we can use the robot or artificial intelligence to help understand the christian teaching, not to replace the priest, because it has no soul, it is not personal. this buddhist temple is more than 400 years old. inside is a robot. it is designed to look like kannon,

the goddess of mercy. these university students have come to see mindar for the first time. a whole sermon delivered by a robot. but not everyone felt at ease with it. that change in other religions is already happening. prayer apps for muslims, smart rosary bracelets for catholics, and an algorithm called robo rabbi. but is there a danger that people

could place too much faith in artificial intelligence? i think there�*s a danger in assuming that artificial intelligence has super agency, that it is in fact making beneficial decisions on our behalf. we�*ve got to be careful we don�*t trust ai too soon. ai can quite frequently be artificially stupid rather than artificially intelligent. but with many religions experimenting with al and robots, it could change the way we worship. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello again. average temperatures today. this is a low pressure that brought rain last night. it is cleared off but following that we have got a cooler northerly wind dredging in colder air. temperatures dropping across

the board significantly. in heathrow, i9 the board significantly. in heathrow, 19 degrees. this afternoon, i2 heathrow, 19 degrees. this afternoon, 12 degrees. in aberdeen we are going from 13 to round about seven through this afternoon. a significant drop in temperatures. it might be cooler but there is plenty of sunshine to be found. cold enough for a sprinkling of snow on the highest scottish mountains. showers will continue for the rest of the day, some snow on the highest scottish mountains but for the majority of the uk, and inland areas, lots of sunshine, barely a cloud in the sky. brisk winds gusting at around 30 mph across northern areas. tonight, blustery winds were dragging plenty of showers across the northern half of the uk. wind slighterfurther south and that is where we will have temperatures cold enough for a nip of frost in the very coldest part of the countryside. friday, a ridge of high pressure is building in but it will be a day of sunshine and showers. showers will be widespread across the north and west and

particularly across north—west england, the north midlands, north wales also. there will be plenty of between those showers. temperatures similar to those of this afternoon. nine to 1a celsius. the weekend, a change in wind patterns. eventually, we will start to see south—westerly wind spreading in and they will be bringing milder air. this cool spell is only relatively short. saturday, a bit of cloud, mist and fog patches to start the day, and in the west heavy rain in northern ireland, west scotland. 1a to 15 degrees. sunday, a day of sunshine and showers. showers heaviest and most frequent across the north—west but the wind is coming from eight south—westerly direction. temperatures reaching highs of up to 15 celsius.

this is bbc news. the headlines: police have charged a 25—year—old man with the murder of conservative mp sir david amess. ali harbi ali is also facing charges of preparing acts of terrorism. a large team of detectives have been working around the clock to find out as much as we can about what happened and why. doctors warn the government is being �*wilfully negligent�* in not imposing more restrictions as cases of coronavirus rise. but ministers say it�*s not necessary yet. we don�*t believe, even though the nhs is under pressure, it always is in winter, but it is particularly now, that it is unsustainable

pressure and it is not
