time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. perhaps not so inspiring today. we got snow weather changes today. some big contrasts from place to place. for many of us, quite cloudy, some rain in scotland this morning, it will ease i think as we go on through the day. we have also seen some sunshine coming through the clouds. a lovely picture here from hampshire. the satellite picture shows the extent of today's cloud. a few breaks coming and going across the south. the midlands and east anglia. clearskies the south. the midlands and east anglia. clear skies to the north—west as well but in between, a lot of cloud today and rain showing up lot of cloud today and rain showing up on the radar picture. most of it is falling along this cold front and will continue to put eastwards over the next few hours and, as it does so, we will get something brighter coming in from the west and scotland and into northern ireland as well so becoming drier and brighter and cooler. some wet weather for wales, parts of northern england and the midlands, east anglia and the south—east should stay dry until after dark. overnight tonight,

there's the threat of some more rain and it could become quite extensive for a time perhaps across parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia but the wettest weather will always be across the south of england. temperatures are 10—12. a mild night but would clear skies to the north of the uk, it's cold enough to give patches of frost in the countryside and something gardeners might want to take note of. tomorrow, actually started the day. a bright enough started the day. a bright enough start but there's a couple of zones of rain. the south, perhaps east anglia, and another area of rain coming in across the north west. between these, wales, northern england, eastern scotland having the best of the dry and bright weather. still miles across the south. the temperature is above average and temperatures close to normal for the time of year in scotland. friday, another week weather front moving in off the atlantic. no great amounts off the atlantic. no great amounts of rain from that but we will see some blustery showers following into the north—west of the uk, so starting friday morning, may be some mist patches around and here is that

very week weather front bringing some rain into northern england, north wales, with no showers lining up north wales, with no showers lining up into western scotland, northern ireland. some could be accompanied by the odd crack of thunder. temperatures still mild, 16—17 for cardiff and london. 10—11, disappointing for this stage of october across the north and west of scotland. the weekend, we continue with an unsettled weather pattern. no pressure dominates, weather fronts moving eastwards across the uk with seem fairly tightly packed isobars showing on the charts. it said to be quite windy weekend as well. 40—50 mile an hour gusts. with bands of rain or showers moving in from west to east but not a complete wash—out. there will be some brighter moments. chris, many thanks. 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.

billion of tax cuts for the richest businesses, and didn't even ask for it. she has still giftwrapped as stamp duty cut for landlords, just as renters feel the pinch, and she is still holding out tax cuts. why did she expect working people to pick up the bill for her unfunded tax cuts for those at the top? i notice that the leader of the opposition is still not saying whether— opposition is still not saying whether or not he supports our energy— whether or not he supports our energy price guarantee. this is very relevant, _ energy price guarantee. this is very relevant, because it is the biggest part of— relevant, because it is the biggest part of our— relevant, because it is the biggest part of our mini budget. it is the biggest — part of our mini budget. it is the biggest part of the mini budget. fact is, — biggest part of the mini budget. fact is, all the opposition have said _ fact is, all the opposition have said is— fact is, all the opposition have said is that people should supported for six _ said is that people should supported for six months full stop does he think— for six months full stop does he think that — for six months full stop does he think that in march pensioner should be facing _ think that in march pensioner should be facing very high energy bills? that is— be facing very high energy bills? that is what will happen if he does not support our energy price

we know the rising cost of living is hitting ourfinances but a senior public health official in one of wales' most deprived communities says it is already having an impact on people's health. dr kelechi nnoaham, who's in charge of public health for much of the south wales valleys, says there's been increases in depression and anxiety as well as problems like diabetes as balanced diets become too expensive. here's our health correspondentjenny rees. exercise sessions for the over 50s at the centre in aberdare can get pretty noisy. this is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. the fact that we can come here and do this sort of thing, yes, it is a lifeline, a lifeline for a lot of people because we are socialising again, we can have a meal afterwards and it is great. with so many different services, that lifeline means

a lot, as costs spiral. i do get out and about a little bit and luckily, i drive, that is another problem, the cost of petrol, but diane really the cost of petrol, but i'm really worried about not being able to heat my house enough to keep myself warm. the centre is also home to an information hub for the over 50s. as you can imagine, queries about fuel bills are starting to come through. people are concerned as to whether they should go on a fixed term, leave things as they are, any discounts they can get, that is starting to increase now. for the most part, we got a lot of benefit queries, especially dealing with the forms and how to claim,

that sort of thing, because a lot of this is online and there are older people who are not online and don't want to be online. a lot of the calls that we have can be quite impactful, especially since covid, we have had people who have either lost loved ones or who have found themselves be so isolated and so lonely and they don't know where to go, they don't know who to talk to. they are based in rhondda cynon taff, which had the highest covid mortality rate in wales and we know income plays a rate the mortality rate is nearly twice as high. throw in the cost of living crisis... we have already had notable long—term conditions, a rising infectious conditions in our communities and a worsening poverty, it will all accentuate it and we are already seeing some of it happening already. but it is a fairly bumpy few years and months that we have ahead of us unfortunately. that means centres like this will be key. the welsh government said more than £1.6 billion is being spent to tackle rising costs

and that they take a long—term approach towards tackling poverty. jenny rees there. money seized from criminals in west yorkshire is being spent on trying to improve the safety of women and girls. the west yorkshire mayor is using cash recovered by police to fund things like self defence classes and therapy for victims. figures show there's been a big increase in the number of sexual offences and stalking reports to police in our region. here's our home affairs correspondent emma glasbey. hands up and out. that's it, brilliant. and again. basic self—defence moves being tried out by a group in leeds. one punch, out the way. the classes are free. women can receive help with bus fares so they can get here.

one, and then, you know what? it's not happening again. we cannot show all of those here. past experience means some of them don't feel safe. lucy started these sessions to help build women's confidence. coming out of the pandemic, women were even more afraid to leave their homes, but also domestic abuse had gone up during the pandemic. so they may be afraid to leave, but they were not safe at home either. so i felt it was important to put something out there that was just sort of offering practical, in the moment solutions. the self—defence aspect is mostly to help women feel safer when they go out. these sessions are also about women talking through their fears. it has helped me to be confident in myself, not to be scared. to be aware of people around me. if somebody approached me in a certain way, i know how i can defend myself.

it is the west yorkshire mayor's office paying for these sessions, using money seized from criminals to fund the projects. been spiked, that there are we shouldn't have to worry about what shoes we are wearing when we go for a night out because we might have to run home. we cannot thrive in that atmosphere. this is wakefield, where they are using boxercise to encourage women to get fit and strong, adding in some self defence. i found out about the class on facebook. ladies getting together,

feeling better about ourselves. this area has the — feeling better about ourselves. this area has the highest rate of violence against women in wakefield. it has always been my passion to give women self—defence techniques. i believe every woman should have it. on the back of lockdown, we had sarah everard, women were trying to find ways to protect themselves. lots of communities became isolated after lockdown, so it is getting women back out. women's safety is now getting attention and funding it has not had before. tackling violence and abuse is the biggest challenge, but this is about helping women find strength and support. emma glasbey reporting. a cyclist from bedfordshire has ridden into the record books for going further and faster on an outdoor track than anyone else his age. john lee is 93 and has been a member of the icknield road club since 1952.

i love cycling because it's a great thing to keep yourself fit and your legs, your weight bearing on the leg so you're not doing any damage to your knees in that. the more miles you do, the fitter you get, a lot more training is at home on turbo trainer for 20 to 30 minutes, five times a week at 60 a minute. and then in the early spring, i come down to train on the track a couple of times a week until i'm reaching, i know my peak, and then we go for the records. byjoining a club, you've got the friendship and camaraderie. you got that bond that you seem to keep. a lot of people keep it for the rest of their lives. i've never smoked in my life and three years in the army,

they were virtually giving me away. i'd never touched them. i've had a few beers or enjoyed a pint. i still enjoy a glass of wine. i'll have a couple bottles of beer with the chaps if they want one, but i do not sit down and drink continuously, day in and day out. no way, because at the end of the day, you cannot buy your health. millions of better athletes have gone down with sinister illnesses through no fault of their own. so it is imperative that you do look after yourself. my wife and i, we were married for 64 years, and during those years, for all my years of racing and everything i did, she supported me right to the hilt. a lady who is irreplaceable. when she passed away, i had to get myself together. i'd got a family. you must not let yourself go. it is very difficult. the thing that keeps me going and active is the fact that at the moment, at this moment in time, my health is very good. the medics have said, my heart

is very, very good and i want to keep try and keep it that way. of course, the fitter the body, the fitter the mind. that was john lee, 93—year—old cyclist. now it's time for a look at the weather, with chris fawkes. hello there. we've got quite a mixture of weather to take you through the rest of this afternoon. often the weather is going to be pretty cloudy, as indeed it has been today, and we've still got a bit of rain to come through as well. in scotland, though, the weather should become a little bit drier and brighter over the next few hours. satellite picture shows the extent of the cloud, a few breaks across the midlands and southern parts of england. we do have these zones of patchy rain working eastwards. most of the rain is falling along this cold front that will continue to move its way eastwards over the next few hours. eastwards over the next few hours, and with that, we'll get brighter weather following into scotland

and to northern ireland. here, though, fresher and cooler air will be working in through the afternoon. so you might notice that change. england and wales still keeping a lot of cloud with a bit of rain at times. across wales, the midlands and northern parts of england, the southeast should stay dry with occasional brighter spells. that is, until after dark when we're looking at some rain that will move in here. there could be some rain redeveloping just for a time across wales, the midlands, east anglia, but the wettest weather will be across the south where it's going to be mild temperatures, 10 to 12 degrees, but across northern areas of the uk, in contrast to that is a cold night with some areas of frost in the countryside. so something gardeners might want to take note of. it will be a chilly start to the day, but a sunny start as well. now, through thursday, two zones of rain, one affecting the south of the uk, one affecting the west, but in between should be a fair amount of dry and bright weather. eastern scotland probably having the best of the sunshine, although it won't be bad for wales, the midlands and northern england too. temperatures on the mild side for most, but temperatures a bit closer to average in scotland. friday, we've still got some

fairly brisk winds blowing in off the atlantic. a band of rain again crossing the north of the uk with blustery showers following. so this band of rain looks to be quite weak as it moves across scotland into northern england for a time through friday afternoon. showers, blustery ones at that flows to scotland. northern ireland, could be an odd crack of thunder mixed in with those. still the threat of a little bit of rain around some of english channel coasts in the morning. the afternoon should be drier and brighter temperatures for many still on the mild side. we are close to average for scotland and for northern ireland. the weekend we continue with fairly blustery west to south—westerly winds. they're going to be pushing further showers or lengthier spells of rain across the uk. so this weekend there will be rain at times. bye— bye.
