it we've got that calm at the moment so the winds are relatively light but through the afternoon there will be picking about towards the west in advance of this cold front here and you can see how mild it is. mid teens across many parts of the country. just our friends in the far north, in lerwick, around 8 degrees. here comes the low pressure. it sweeps in off the atlantic, brings in spells of rain tonight and tomorrow. there will be a fair bit of cloud, rain and wind around tonight so temperatures won't drop. much around 11 degrees across many western towns and cities, may be single figures in the north. tomorrow, a slightly different day. again, the blustery wind will be very noticeable particularly around western coasts. up to gale force, 50 mile an hour gusts and places. pretty winding and land. you can see the rain across the uk. there will be some limits of sunshine around, not raining all day long. the rain will come and go. 15 in london, 12-13 will come and go. 15 in london, 12—13 across the north of the uk. a blustery end to the week. but this low pressure isn't going to hang

around for too long. by the time we get to saturday morning it's moved out into the near continent and instead this little area of high pressure moves in, which means that things will settle down. the winds will die down on saturday is looking fine for most of us. not clear blue skies but there will be some sunny spells developing. i think overall a pleasant enough saturday on the way, with temperatures again above the average for the time of year, 1a in london. we'll probably match that in belfast and for remembrance sunday i think the weather is going to be fine as well. a lot of dry weather and this fine, settled weather is going to last through monday and tuesday. wednesday onwards i think the atlantic winds will pick up and bouts of rain sweeping in but that's not until towards the end of next week. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. 0n bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

good afternoon. now the latest from the bbc sport centre. aston villa have appointed steven gerrard as their new manager on a three—and—a—half year deal. the former liverpool captain leaves the scottish champions having guided them to a first league title in 10 years last season — he's been in charge at ibrox for three years. gerrard replaces dean smith, who was sacked on sunday after a run of five successive defeats. earlier, i asked our reporter alex howell how big a job gerrard has on his hands. it isa it is a massive job at a massive club, but villa have paid £4.5 million to get gerrard down to the club, and given him a 3.5 year deal, which shows commitment. he will want to go there, they have an established premier league squad, and they have funds, one of the wealthier clubs in the league. his

first game will be bright and at home so people would say that is a game he could get off to a winning start with, but he will have to get them firing quickly. the game he will be looking forward to in four weeks' time is taking villa to liverpool. it is the allure of the premier league, money, the chance to get villa back into the top half of the table that i think has attracted him down there. england test captainjoe root says the racism scandal at his home club yorkshire has "fractured the game and torn lives apart".root had pledged to support the new chair of yorkshire, lord patel, as he brings about change at the club — four former players have spoken publicly about their experiences of discrimination. i think the most important thing that we have to look at right now is how we move forward as a sport, as a society as well. i think this is deeper than just cricket. i think what we need to do is address what has happened, and find ways of educating more, find ways of moving

forward, and really looking at areas in which we, as a sport, and beyond that, as well, can, can really look to better society and better the game. meanwhile, ben stokes has been training with his england teammates, after a six—month lay—off from the game. stokes needed time to recover from mental—health issues, as well as a finger injury. he was a late addition to the ashes squad, but was right in the thick of it here on queensland's gold coast. the first test starts in brisbane on 8th december. dan evans has been knocked out of the stockholm 0pen at the quarter—final stage by francis tiafoe. evans started the match in brilliant form, taking the first set, 6—1, but that was a good as it got for the british number two, as tiafoe came roaring back, winning the match in three sets. andy murray will be in action later at the event against america's tommy paul. meanwhile, kyle edmund is set to play his first matches for over a year when england take on scotland at the battle of the

brits in december. the 2018 australian open semi—finalist had an operation on his left knee in march. marcus smith will start at fly—half for england against australia on saturday, with captain 0wen farrell shifting to inside centre. it will be smith's third start in stest matches. there's a real surprise with the usual centre manu tuilagi moved to the wing despite only one start in that position in his previous 44 england caps. newcastle's adam radwan drops out of the squad to make way for tuilagi. you can get the full line—up on the bbc sport website. along with the rest of the sports news today, a t20 world cup semifinal between pakistan and australia are about to get under way shortly. new zealand already in the final. who willjoin them there? it is it from me, back to you.

catherine, thank you very much. more now on fw de klerk, the last leader of apartheid south africa and a key figure in its transition to multi—racial democracy, who's died, aged 85. fw de klerk will be best remembered for freeing nelson mandela from prison in 1990. lord hain was a key anti—apartheid campaigner, before going on to become a labour minister. he also spent his early life in south africa, and he's been giving his reaction to today's news to my colleague, joanna gosling. at that point, and of course my childhood was in south africa, at that point in the autumn of 1989, nobody knew what was going to happen when fw de klerk became president of south africa. he had been for 20 years, as you have described, an apartheid cabinet minister, during the time when the state

police was mercilessly apart had rules and smashing all opposition. and the rules were becoming increasingly restrictive in every area of life. that was his background and there was nothing in his background that could have given any hints to the crucial role he played in being the midwife to the transition from an old tyrannical and evil system of racial discrimination, the worlds worst in the history of the globe, to a new nonracial democracy. and he deserves credit for being the standard bearer of that transition. what do you think led him to that change? at that point, the business community was going to government ministers like him, and his predecessor wouldn't listen. going to government ministers like him, and saying the game is up. apartheid cannot survive.

the black townships outside the cities were increasingly ungovernable. centres of resistance of uprisings and anger against the government, and the business community was saying, look, the economy cannot survive. growth had plummeted. unemployment and inflation were rising. 0n the one hand, there was pressure from the business community, which had profited apartheid for decades, and on the other hand... and then there was a decisive change in the unleashing of forces across central and eastern europe to ensure old soviet puppet regimes in east germany and poland and so on fall and be replaced as the cold war ended with mikhail gorbachev and his leadership. that was a crucial turning point, because the apartheid government had always framed the debate

in their language as being, they positioned themselves as anti—communist. nelson mandela's african nationalist party as communists, which they weren't. they framed the debate in that way. when the cold war ended. between the us and the soviet union and the soviets in the west, that fell from underneath it. that was another motivation and change. and de klerk had the vision and the courage to make that change and do something, which was almost unprecedented or at least very unusual in history, when an elite enjoying the most power

in the world, with black citizens serving it and gave up that power, gave up his domincance. instead of whites on the elections, there would be a new dispensation majority, universal franchise elections. it was quite a remarkable transition. and fw de klerk with nelson mandela was the midwife to that. in a personal sense, how will you remember him, and more widely how would you see his legacy now? his legacy is complicated, because during the four years between nelson mandela being released from prison, and that memorable moment when he walked to freedom, to when he became president, that's between february 1990 and april 1994 and he was elected president, there was mild violence there was more violence

unleashed on nelson mandela's followers than at any time even under apartheid. in the decades of apartheid. that was because the old white power structure under de klerk was still trying to cling onto power. and so, his record is mixed in that sense, but what nobody can take away from him is his foresight. he seized the moment, he showed the courage, and he was the figure that saw the end of apartheid and those and nelson mandela elected as president and those heady days of the new rainbow democracy, sadly long passed, but that's another story in south africa today. a student from lancashire has been found guilty of murdering his step—grandmother, three years after an inquest ruled it had been an accident. preston crown court heard that 21—year—old tiernan darnton confessed to the killing during a game of truth or dare with his friends. 0ur north of england corrspondent

fiona trott gave us this update a little earlier. for years, it was believed mary gregory's death was accidental, there was a fire at her home in lancashire, she was found crouched under a table in her bungalow and taken to hospital, and she died four days later. there was an investigation at the time and the fire service believed that the fire was caused by a discarded cigarette. an inquest ruled that the death was accidental, but then later, tiernan darnton, her step—grandson who was 17 at the time, was playing a game of truth or dare with his friends and he told them he had a dark secret. he said, i have a secret i haven't told anyone. i may have killed someone. and they pressed him on this, and he said that he started the fire, because he didn't want his stepgrandmother to suffer any longer from dementia. now, after that, the court also heard that he told a counsellor a year later that he also started the fire. but during this trial

at preston crown court, tiernan darnton�*s lawyer said he made the confession to his friends because it was a misguided attempt to impress them, and he said the omission he made no the admission he made to the council was pure fiction. we also heard that tiernan darnton�*s stepfather, mrs gregory's own son, said the student had been suffering from depression for a number of years and was plagued by intrusive and disturbing thoughts. but today, the jury found him guilty of murder. he is due to be sentenced on friday. the headlines on bbc news... paramedics warn lives are at risk — due to �*unacceptably long' ambulance delays — with waits of up to nine hours for some patients. a surprise agreement between the us and china to tackle climate change gets a cautious welcome — but activists urge both nations to show greater commitment. and the former south african

president fw de klerk — a key player in the country's transition to democracy — has died at the age of 85. and now — it's time for some of the stories that are making news across the uk. the issue of women's safety has been horribly highlighted by the murders of sarah everard and sabina nessa. a group of young women in newcastle decided they would do what they could to ensure other women could feel safe on the streets. women's streetwatch newcastle patrol the city centre at night helping anyone who's vulnerable — and they say they are helping hundreds every week. 0ur reporter alison freeman has been out on patrol with them. so are we ready to rumble? sweet,

now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. hello. for the rest of the day for most of us there is actually not an awful lot of change in the weather. it is going to stay cloudy out there, mild, a little bit of dampness around too, some of that cloud is thick enough today to produce rain but the real story is just how mild it is, and it has been mild for quite some time now, this is not going to change in the next few days. we will keep seeing this mild, atlantic air arriving. this is the low pressure that will bring us the more blustery weather tomorrow, so the low pressure is just to the west of us right now. in fact, it is here. this is where the centre of the low is, this is where the gale force winds are, and ahead of it is a cold front moving across ireland eventually into northern ireland this evening ahead of it we have that increase in cloud and some of it thick enough to bring some rain. for example in south—western scotland and the lake district this afternoon. tonight, then, here comes

the lower, barrels in, this is the cold front here, now often behind the cold front, the air is colder. that's why it's called a cold front. but actually, not necessarily, on this occasion. this is still quite mild, atlantic air, blustery weather moving in, so the temperatures are not going to drop tonight, 11 degrees first in the morning, across many western areas, so the low pressure moves across the uk, it brings outbreaks of rain but you can see the bits and pieces of rain being pushed quite swiftly by that wind and it will be strong around some western coasts, gusting to 15 mph in places. we will feel the strength of the wind in the land as well. mild, 15 in london, double figures further north too and then the forecast, friday night into saturday, the lower pulls away, in fact it sort of loses its impact, and in its place, briefly, high pressure builds in from the south. so that means that saturday is going to be much calmer. it is going to be a generally dry day, with some sunny spells. again, it is going to be mild, the mid—teens are quite possible across the south of the country. in the north, around 11 or 12. and i think sunday is going to be fairly similar too. again, generally dry weather, generally mild weather, and this calm, mild weather lasts through monday and tuesday,

but from wednesday onwards i think the winds will pick up again and we will see bouts of rain coming off the atlantic later next week. bye— bye.
