the uk, a cool kind of weather in the uk, a cool kind of weather in the south—west of england but actually one of the warmest places, 19 degrees, and most of us saw sunshine but across scotland the sunshine but across scotland the sunshine was not necessarily accompanied by high temperatures. indeed, if we look at the air mass, some cooler air associated with the high pressure is due to slip its way eastwards over the next few days, trapping low pressure right over the top of the british isles and that means we will see more unsettled weather conditions coming our way. the changes starting to make inroads from the south—west with rain arriving. the north and east stays dry but look at the temperatures, by the end of the night, 16 degrees in plymouth and a very mild night indeed. tomorrow, expect more cloud. still a few bright or sunny spells but we have bursts of rain erratically arriving from the south and west and a windy day but despite more cloud and wind, still mild in england and wales, 18 or 19 degrees, whereas in scotland, the

temperatures, ten up to 12, below average for the time of year. this area of low pressure going nowhere fast, trapped by high pressure in europe, so thursday is an unsettled day with outbreaks of rain moving north and east across the country. sunshine follows, but there could be a few showers later in the day. still very mild for most of us with temperatures coming up in northern ireland at 16 degrees as we head through thursday and if you're looking for signs of change in the weather forecast. looking for signs of change in the weatherforecast. for looking for signs of change in the weather forecast. for friday, through the weekend, and into next week, that same area of low pressure is with us and it means it stays unsettled with further rain and showers on the way. and that's bbc news at six. as now its time to join our colleagues across the nations hello, i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up on sportsday tonight:

putting the athletes welfare before medals, british gymnastics sets out a three year plan to reform after failing to deal with systemic abuse. the iranian climber who went missing for two days, has now apologised for competing without wearing a hijab, but there are fears for her wellbeing as she returns home. can england keep up their momentum after hitting the ground running at the rugby league world cup? also coming up in the programme. we preview the nba which tips off tonight with the boston celtics in action, as are reigning champions the golden state warriors. hello and welcome to sportsday.

british gymnastics has laid out a a0 point, three year action plan to change the culture within the sport. it follows the whyte report that was published this summer which found that the governing body had failed to deal with systemic issues of physical and emotional abuse as well as some incidents of sexual abuse. here's our sports news correspondent laura scott. it is just over four months since the publication of the damning review which found sister make abuse and today comes the promise of widespread reform. it is published a plan called reform 25 which they hope to fulfil over the next two years and that includes mandatory coach development to prevent what they see as a recycling of poor practices. the formation of gymnast,

coach and advisory groups to prevent accusations that but his gymnastics became an inch of their organisation and the formation of an improved complaint management system. the chief executive of british gymnastics said the cultural change was already well under way but i asked her if reform 25 as anything more than a box ticking exercise. will it has to be, doesn't it? because i was not going to see the changes that we want we want to see the impact on the ground foot of the key to that of development of this planet involving gymnasts, coaches, clubs so that they have been involved in shaping our understanding of why they got to this position. we never want to have a whyte review again. we want to make sure these actions can be unfermented and receive your change. one significant part is the decision by british gymnastics to publish the names of banned coaches on its website. it won't publish the names of coaches who are currently serving bands, only those who have banned

moving forward but it is considered a positive step forward by campaign groups. the governing body has doubled the size of it safeguarding team in recent months and hopes that this will help it deal with the backlog of hundreds of cases and the litigation that has been brought by 38 gymnasts. however, there was involved that claim say the process is taking a serious toll.— is taking a serious toll. there are 38 gymnasts _ is taking a serious toll. there are 38 gymnasts in — is taking a serious toll. there are 38 gymnasts in our— is taking a serious toll. there are 38 gymnasts in our group - is taking a serious toll. there are 38 gymnasts in our group legal. is taking a serious toll. there are - 38 gymnasts in our group legal claim and only one has had no legal claim is of sale, for many of the gymnasts, that delays are causing unnecessary ongoing anxiety and mental health issues. we would: british gymnastics to make sure they speed up the processing of these claims so that we'll get a resolution as quickly as possible and we can move forward onto much more positive vetting to help deliver the change that british gymnastics are saying they would like to achieve.— gymnastics are saying they would like to achieve. british gymnastics of saturday _ like to achieve. british gymnastics of saturday there _ like to achieve. british gymnastics of saturday there will _ like to achieve. british gymnastics of saturday there will not - like to achieve. british gymnastics of saturday there will not accept l of saturday there will not accept any kind of culture of fear within the and they will implement a zero

tolerance of abuse. they are accepting that bringing in the transformational changes will take time. there is no quick fix but what they are committing to today is that they are committing to today is that they will prioritise positive experiences within the sport, over and above performance and participation. but what is clear is it is great to see what is on the page, is part of this document, now they need to see on the ground inside gems up and down the country. there are still concerns about the wellbeing of the iranian climber elnaz rekabi, who competed in south korea over the weekend without wearing a hijab — which is against iran's strict rules. her family and friends say they lost contact with her for 48 hours after she told them she was with an iranian official. today, in a post on her instagram account she apologised that the headcovering had inadverta ntly fallen off. there have been widespread protests in iran following the death let's get more on this

now from bbc persian, baran abbasi. the united nations human rights convention have taken an interest in this. have we heard any more information said that instagram post? information said that instagram ost? ~ ., �* information said that instagram ost? . ., �* 4' ., information said that instagram ost? ~ ., �* ~ ., , information said that instagram ost? ., �* ~ ., , , information said that instagram ost? ., �* ~ ., , post? we don't know where she is at the moment- — post? we don't know where she is at the moment- in _ post? we don't know where she is at the moment. in that _ post? we don't know where she is at the moment. in that instagram - post? we don't know where she is at the moment. in that instagram post| the moment. in that instagram post she said that she is heading to around with the rest of the team and the team left two days earlier than scheduled and they are believed to be on the way to i and she may still decide not to come back if the economy stay in that country because if she does, she is expected to be arrested and facing interrogation or imprisonment. it is a very sensitive issue for the iranian government. some informed sources have said that

her passport and her phone were confiscated and we don't know the instagram post that was posted on her page, whether she posted it herself by somebody else is in control of her social media accounts and if she did so, whether it was under duress or not.— and if she did so, whether it was under duress or not. we've all seen imaaes of under duress or not. we've all seen images of the _ under duress or not. we've all seen images of the huge _ under duress or not. we've all seen images of the huge protest - under duress or not. we've all seen i images of the huge protest movement thatis images of the huge protest movement that is under way in iran after the arrests and death of a young woman in custody after being arrested by the morality police for supposedly not wearing her hijab properly. they will have viewed her competing without a hijab positively for the cause. how that instagram post had been interpreted, do you think? you make it won't have changed anything for that she was believed to be supporting the women who are

protesting and calling for the downfall of the islamic republic. what she did was praised as a very brave thing, she was praised as a hero and people are planning to go to the airport and welcome her when she came back to iran. this is not changed anything. what she said and what is posted on her instagram page are similarto the what is posted on her instagram page are similar to the statements that a lot of dissidents and activists have been forced to give under pressure from the islamic government. they have been forced to appear on state tv and make false confessions and this is only raised concerns about her own well—being, and whether she was expressing support or not. many thanks indeed for the update. there are so many there are so many concerns there are so many concerns about her

well—being and rightly so. as the athlete commission we been very active in working with them this morning. the president has been in contact with the iranian federation so we are doing as much as we can. it is such a difficult situation. what are you hearing back from the iranian federation, if anything? in the market as an ever—changing situation and we are really focused on her safety, of course. so it is hard to know whether updates are but for now we are just hoping she is safe and we are waiting to find out if she is back in iran and if she is safe and that is where we are out right now. this is somebody who has obviously been on the circuit for a while, you have competed against her? ., while, you have competed against her? . , . , , while, you have competed against her? ., , ., , , ., her? elnaz rekabi has been on the second for a _ her? elnaz rekabi has been on the second for a long _ her? elnaz rekabi has been on the second for a long time. _ her? elnaz rekabi has been on the second for a long time. she - her? elnaz rekabi has been on the second for a long time. she is - her? elnaz rekabi has been on the second for a long time. she is an l second for a long time. she is an incredible competitor and i have competed alongside her in finals and

to west ham tomorrow. he has been charged with improper conduct after getting sent off towrds the end of that fiery city match. he rejected the suggestion today that he had inflamed tensions between the two sides with his pre—match comments about city's spending power, he said that he had been deliberately misunderstood. i'm not sure we have to be best friends with other clubs, to be honest. i don't think anybody wants to be best friends with others, to be honest. again, it started here with a question and answer that handle the rest was made of it and i cannot... i know what i thought when i said it and i thought i put it all in perspective and sad at all, how much i respect everything, what they are doing. and, obviously, it was still not right.

as well as klopp's sending off, pep guardiola also remonstrated with officials at anfield. one referees charity, says their behaviour is often replicated at grassroots level, and they have to set a better example. something a number of premier league managers were asked about today. we have a responsibility. i understand that and there is also a microscope and managers when we are in highly pressurised jobs and it is easy for me to set your own account moment and say we should be better and all the sort of things but the of pressure we come under and sometimes decisions go against you. the relationship with referees is the topic on this football news show and you can catch that on bbc iplayer right now. and you can catch that on bbc iplayer right now. frank lampard speaking ahead of their trip to brentford tomorrow. there are two matches tonight. palace face wolves, both too close to the reelagtion zone for comfort, bottom side nottingham forest are at brighton and alastair bruce—ball is there for us.

we've got to have the attitude of being very good today. in very in the next game because if we have that mentality of waiting then who knows? things could be too late and we have already put ourselves in a situation now we have to get some wins to catch up. in terms of getting out of the relegation zone. we have to face up to that. that is where we are. we are in the relegation zone and we want to get out of it and i notice fairly early. keep across all the football on five live tonight. keep across all the football on five live tonight. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today... the president of indonesia says the stadium where more than 130 people died in a stampede earlier this month will be demolished and rebuilt. the tragedy has been blamed on police firing tear gas inside the ground. sri lanka's t20 world cup is back on track after victory today over the united arab emirates. despite a hat trick by karthik meiyappan, their innings of 15—8 was enough. they then bowled the uae out for 73. sri lanka, who lost their opening

game, face netherlands next. and the dutch themselves lead that group with two wins out of two. they beat namibia today chasing down 122 with five wickets and three balls to spare so they have a good chance of making the super 12 stage. wales rugby union captain dan biggar has been ruled out of their autumn series. the fly—half suffered a knee injury playing for his club northampton earlier this month and misses out the 35 man squad. five new caps have been called up, but pivac hasn't yet named a replacement skipper. we had not planned on changing the captain but obviously, with dan's injury that is something we'll be looking at in the coming days but it has been an interesting squad selection with a number of injuries, unfortunately. but with that comes opportunity and in terms of dan, his

injury, we expect to be playing by probably the end of the autumn series, and of course the last games against australia and that rules him out so we have not selected him on that basis but we don't think be out of the game too long. out of the game too long. wasps former owner chris wright, says the club has a very bleak future after going into adminisatrtion yesterday. under his ownership between 1996 and 2008, they won four premiership titles and two european cups. he is still honourary life president, but can't see a way back for them now. the right to participate at the top table of rugby. i can't...

i can't... we've had six matches so far in the rugby league world cup, these are rugby die—hard fans, they're not going to suddenly say, well, i will see another team, they are wasps. it is terrible. the former wasps _ are wasps. it is terrible. the former wasps owner. - the former wasps owner. we've had six matches so far in the rugby league world cup, in the next hour, we'll get a first glimpse of group d, when tonga take on papua new guinea. adam wild is in st helen's for us this evening. adam, tonga have been tipped to go

a long way in the tournament. but as fate. they are training for the duration of this world cup, quite a low—key press conference from the england head coach today. very much in stark contrast to the excitement, the euphoria to that opening—day victory at st james's park in newcastle on saturday afternoon. very much a sense that it is back to business for this team. at pains to point out he was not getting carried away with that performance, as good as it was, he said it was not a perfect performance, he said plenty to build on. you will be delighted with what happened on saturday afternoon not least of which no significant injury which means you can now really shuffle the pack. he said that all 24 shuffle the pack. he said that all 2a players will be involved by the

end of their match against france on saturdays so all the players that were not involved in the samoa game will be involved in that match against france on saturday so the likes of andy akers will be coming into the side as long as the experienced players and that really is a big advantage when these games come thick and fast over the coming weeks. let's take a listen to what he has been saying this afternoon. it was very different, that team. because you look at the players i didn't pick and they are on a really good form so it was not an easy conversation dave and i told them they were not playing. and so i want to see them this week and see if our performance can improve.— performance can improve. adam is still with me- _ performance can improve. adam is still with me. adam, _ performance can improve. adam is still with me. adam, hopefully - performance can improve. adam is still with me. adam, hopefully youj still with me. adam, hopefully you can still hear me. let's talk about tonga. a bit of a buzz about them that they can go a long way in this

tournament. that they can go a long way in this tournament-— that they can go a long way in this tournament. yeah, a lot of people are very excited _ tournament. yeah, a lot of people are very excited about _ tournament. yeah, a lot of people are very excited about this - tournament. yeah, a lot of people are very excited about this tonga l are very excited about this tonga side. they'rejust taking are very excited about this tonga side. they're just taking to the field, just behind me. that is what the moment of noise was about. the world cup last time around in 2017, they were very much the surprise package. they made it all the way to the semifinals and a fat got within a whisker of making it to the world cup final back in just beaten by a couple of points. they were suppose package back then and they are a surprise package this time around. they are serious contenders. with any team have emerged over the last few weeks which can upset the established order of rugby league it is tonga. they are competitors and contenders for this world cup. they are coached by a very familiar face in this part of the world. you will be familiar with him because this is... sorry, more noise there. consider papua new guinea side coming out there. he has coached st

helens the last three super league titles so people very familiar. this fulfilling a home game for him. papa new guinea, you can see behind me, they will be a stern test for tonga today. the only country in the world where rugby league is the national sport. i will hand back to you. a big mouthwatering occasion here this evening. big mouthwatering occasion here this evenina. ,, ., , ., ., they opened with a defeat against hapoel tel aviv in israel, but the london lions are hoping to bounce back in the eurocup tonight. they face italian side aquila basket tento at the copper box. it's 15 years since europe's top basketball competition was in the uk and the players are hoping it will give the sport a boost, on these shores. not many people talk about it but,

you know, ithink not many people talk about it but, you know, i think it is definitely deserving of more attention than probably what it gets but i'm just happy to be here and to compete and help grow the game. you happy to be here and to compete and help grow the game.— help grow the game. you have competed _ help grow the game. you have competed in — help grow the game. you have competed in a _ help grow the game. you have competed in a lot _ help grow the game. you have competed in a lot of _ help grow the game. you have competed in a lot of the - help grow the game. you have competed in a lot of the majorj competed in a lot of the major european leagues. how far behind, they are at all, do you think british basketball is with some of those major european— british basketball is with some of those major european those ma'or european there is not a lot of those major european there is not a lot of degree _ those major european there is not a lot of degree of _ those major european there is not a lot of degree of separation. - those major european there is not a lot of degree of separation. it - those major european there is not a lot of degree of separation. it is - lot of degree of separation. it is not that far apart. the town is there. that is undeniable and i think, you know, the game is growing. you know, we could be looking at a big surge of, you know, british basketball in the coming years. british basketball in the coming ears. ., ., ., , ., british basketball in the coming ears. ., ., ., , ., , years. the london lions, a big match at the copper — years. the london lions, a big match at the copper box _ years. the london lions, a big match at the copper box against _ years. the london lions, a big match at the copper box against the - at the copper box against the italian team. let's start with basketball,

because the nba starts overnight with some of the top teams in action, including the reigning champions, the golden state warriors. lydia campbell looks ahead to the season. just four months on from the golden state warriors beating the boston celtics to the nba title, new season is about to get under way. 30 teams all with the dream of becoming champions getting ready to go. let's start with the reigning champions, then. the golden state warriors. in june they won their fourth nba title in eight years and are going into the season again with one of the favourites. but the last week has been a difficult one for the warriors after their star player punched a team—mate in training. since that incident, green has apologised and has been fined by the team but will be available for their season opener. the coach has described it as the biggest crisis he has ever had at the warriors but is still hoping they can put the

incident behind them soon. the drama from last week. _ incident behind them soon. the drama from last week, we _ incident behind them soon. the drama from last week, we will _ incident behind them soon. the drama from last week, we will get _ incident behind them soon. the drama from last week, we will get there - from last week, we will get there eventually but, you know, it is a little different vibe and a little different sort of level of preparation compared to last year, for example. so it is, you just adapt and adjust. one of their key players was not allowed to play home matches for most of last season because of new york's ban on unvaccinated people in indoor venues but they will have him for the full season this time around because of a slight rule change and they will also have this man. despite him handing in a summer trade request before then changing his mind, they will be hoping that,

together, they can help them have a big year. and we can't have an nba preview without mentioning this man. lebronjames, one of the greatest players to ever play the game. james is going into his 20th season in the nba and could do something that would set apart from every other player in history. he isjust 1327 player in history. he isjust1327 points away from overtaking and becoming the nba's all—time leading scorer. if you keep scoring at its average rate he is projected to reach his target by game 49. so can the warriors overcome their preseason fights, will the nets finally find some flare and will lebron on the come history once again? we'll find out as all the action gets under way. looking ahead to the nba season which starts in

the early us tomorrow morning. that's just bring you some news. busy week of premier league action. nine matches this week. arsenal, manchester city, not involved. but down at the bottom hour brighton, take on bottom side nottingham forest. and news from that, big—ip made one change. three changes. all substitutes. all starlit, all the new signings. the actually clcik? go to five live to keep on top of football foot of a quick reminder of top story which is british gymnastics, they have revealed this three year a0 point plan. their

failure to deal with systemic emotional and physical abuse of athletes. they say they will be duffy's welfare had of chasing medals. go to the bbc sport website for a lot more on that but that is all for now. hello there. most of us got to see quite a lot of sunshine during today, but some changes did start to take place across the south—west of england through the afternoon. rather cloudy there for a weather watcher in south devon. this is the reason why — this big mass of cloud swirling around a big broad area of low pressure. that will be dominating our weather over the next few days, and the first signs of that, some showers and some thunderstorms drifting up across the south—west of england, up into wales, as we go through the rest of the evening with some quite brisk winds as well.

those showers through the early hours of tomorrow morning will start to spread up into parts of northern ireland, tending to weaken a little, i think, the further north they get. most other areas dry through the night, although rather cloudy for eastern scotland and north east england, and generally speaking, not quite as chilly as it was last night. maybe five or six degrees in parts of scotland, 15 in south wales and south—west england. tomorrow, here is our big broad area of low pressure, frontal systems drifting around it, we will see some showers or maybe longer spells of rain, and it will be quite windy, those winds bringing warm air for many, but we stick with something rather chilly across north east scotland and north east england, where it will be rather cloudy for much of the day, maybe even with the odd spot of drizzle. elsewhere, we will see more of those showers, quite erratically drifting from the south towards the north and tending to weaken a little as they go. best of any sunshine likely to be found across central and eastern parts of england.

it will be windy, those are the average wind speeds, but the gusts will be stronger than that, particularly gusty for some western coasts of wales and the south—west of england. temperatures quite a range actually, 22 degrees for the channel islands, just nine or ten in the north east of scotland. now through wednesday night, we will see further showers, perhaps longer spells of rain for a time. drifting northwards could be some thunder and lightning, and it could well be a wet start to thursday, across parts of eastern england. cloudy for most, but with more sunshine spreading from the south as the day wears on, and those temperatures, maybe not quite as chilly in the north, 12 for aberdeen, 19 or 20 possible in the sunshine further south. as we look through friday and into the weekend there will be further showers, maybe longer spells of rain. it will often be windy, but feeling quite warm for the time of year.

hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. ukraine's president says nearly a third of the country's power stations have been destroyed — as russia steps up its attacks. more than a thousand towns and villages are without power and parts of kyiv have no water as moscow targets critical infrastructure away from the frontlines. also in the programme: britain's new chancellor says government budgets will be slashed — as the prime minister apologises for the mistakes she's made so far. i wanted to act but to help people be their energy bill, to deal with tissue of high taxes but we went too far and... tissue of high taxes but we went too far and...
