reporting on matt hancock for the guardian. so many papers are leading on that, with questions by others. this really is the matt hancock exclusive, talking about why he's taken perhaps this surprising choice to be part of i'm a celebrity, get me out of here.— to be part of i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. i think one of the amazin: me out of here. i think one of the amazing things — me out of here. i think one of the amazing things about _ me out of here. i think one of the amazing things about this - me out of here. i think one of the amazing things about this op-ed l me out of here. i think one of the| amazing things about this op-ed is amazing things about this op—ed is how brazen it is that he has decided that, after rishi sunak becoming the prime minister and him not rejoining the cabinet, that he should take an opportunity to have a different kind of public platform. he talks about wanting to talk about his dyslexia campaign, but as important as that is, you'd imagine there'd be little room for that around the constraints of i'm a celebrity, and i'm sure the producers of it want to tease out
11:33 pm
hancock's performance of the pandemic, that very famous affair that he had that was blasted across newspapers. so i think it's a real risk particularly for a sitting politician to do this. we've seen other politicians have a go at reality shows, ed balls on strictly come dancing, and we do come on various shows. but there was always big criticism when sitting mps who do have a job that they are elected to do, to serve their constituents who are in the middle of a cost—of—living crisis — if they then decide to take an absence from parliament especially at a time like this, you can see why that's cost matt hancock the whip. he this, you can see why that's cost matt hancock the whip.- this, you can see why that's cost matt hancock the whip. he says he hasn't lost his _ matt hancock the whip. he says he hasn't lost his marbles. _ matt hancock the whip. he says he hasn't lost his marbles. he - matt hancock the whip. he says he hasn't lost his marbles. he also . hasn't lost his marbles. he also goes on to say that i would go it's ourjobs as politicians to go where

11:40 pm
that have been uncovered or absolutely shocking, applicants who had convictions for robbery — but also serious problems with sexual offences, indecent exposure, domestic abuse — one recruit was apparently a pimp, another was caught lying on their applications about whether their families were involved in serious crime, including drug dealing in one case. i think particularly the sexual predator aspect is incredibly concerning anything about the case of sarah everard where there were warning signs with her killer, wayne couzens, seemingly not picked up in time. that had a terrible consequence. the watchdog says there is a real culture of misogyny and predatory behaviour, and i think it's another big job for the new

11:44 pm
that's a considerable amount of money that people will not be able to afford, especially if you're paying an extra £200 on your energy bills already per month, you may well be seeing rises like that, even with the government's energy price freeze, because prices have doubled since this time last year. you're seeing massive increases in your weekly food shop because of inflation on food prices, or your petrol bills. pretty much anything that you can buy — and therefore, it is a very worrying consequence of these rises that people may not be able to afford to stay in their homes any more. for those renting, we will see landlords put up prices, they may find themselves unable to afford the rent. and this is a kind of rolling problem, especially for the government, because it is not as if it suddenly happens to people. millions of people are coming to the
11:45 pm
end of their mortgage terms and finding new deals over the next 18 months, so it'll be happening constantly to different families over the course of that time. and it doesn't look like rates will start going down to where they were anytime soon, even if we do expect it to slow down at the beginning of next year. it’s it to slow down at the beginning of next ear. �* , ., ., , next year. it's going to be difficult for _ next year. it's going to be difficult for the _ next year. it's going to be i difficult for the government next year. it's going to be - difficult for the government of rishi sunak to try and really calm people's fears even if the economy and rates, and whatnot are... tough weeks ahead for the average person. tough weeks, tough years. the new prime _ tough weeks, tough years. the new prime minister and his chancellor are making absolutely clear that there _ are making absolutely clear that there are — are making absolutely clear that there are very times ahead. i think there are very times ahead. i think the lessons — there are very times ahead. i think the lessons of the liz truss big bang _ the lessons of the liz truss big bang approach have been learned, and the prime _

11:48 pm
the reason why people come to twitter is for things like that. so to charge people who are creating it doesn't seem to make a huge lot of sense. ,, , ., , doesn't seem to make a huge lot of sense. ,, , .,, sense. stephen king was saying he osts his sense. stephen king was saying he posts his content _ sense. stephen king was saying he posts his content - _ sense. stephen king was saying he posts his content - i'm _ posts his content — i'm paraphrasing, elon musk should be paying him rather than the other way around. would you make of it, sam? i completely agree, it's prompting people _ completely agree, it's prompting people to leave twitter and i think elon people to leave twitter and i think eton musk— people to leave twitter and i think elon musk would have a greatly devalued product because the content wouldn't _ devalued product because the content wouldn't be there. it's a content platform — wouldn't be there. it's a content platform without the content, so what _ platform without the content, so what have — platform without the content, so what have you got to offer really? i have some — what have you got to offer really? i have some sympathy, he's a businessman trying to make it pay, and i_ businessman trying to make it pay, and i think— businessman trying to make it pay, and i think it's perfectly legitimate to try and find ways to make _ legitimate to try and find ways to make the — legitimate to try and find ways to make the platform of pay. i think this is— make the platform of pay. i think this is probably a shooting yourself in the _ this is probably a shooting yourself in the foot— this is probably a shooting yourself in the foot —type scenario. do

11:50 pm
hello, i'm marc edwards with your sport. we start with the champions league — and tottenham hotspur produced a fabulous fight back, booking their place in the last 16. they beat marseilles 2—1, having gone a goal down. it was a night of incredible tension for spurs fans. tottenham stealing top spot in their group with the last kick of the game. natalie pirks was watching. in the hostile stade velodrome, it was boom or bust for tottenham. in the tightest of groups, a draw would be enough, but spurs' away form in europe has been rocky — and the early warning signs were there. manager antonio conte could do little about marseilles' lively start — banished to the stands after a red card last week. and he could only watch as a nasty clash for son saw tottenham's dazed star led prematurely down the tunnel. as their injuries piled up, so did their problems.
11:51 pm
spurs would be dumped into the europa league unless they got a goal back, and fast. much better. the final few minutes were frenetic — one leap could break hearts. but spurs held their nerve in the dying seconds to put the matter to bed. and tottenham are through! group d winners — the last 16 awaits. natalie pirks, bbc news. meanwhile, mo salah scored in his fifth consecutive champions league match as liverpool beat napoli 2—0 at anfield. darwin nunez wrapped up the win for the reds lay on in stoppage time from this corner, which was initially flagged for offside after var check. the goal was given, juergen klopp's side needed to beat the italians by four clear goals to finish top. and they do still go in second place in group a. rangers have finished their campaigns with a 3—1 defeat to ajax.
11:52 pm
the result means they end with no points and a —20 goal difference, the worst champions league group performance in history. to the women's rugby league world cup now — and the opening match, which saw some history in leeds, england against newcomers brazil, making their tournament debut in just their third international. a day to rememberfor them, despite the heavy defeat to the hosts. sarah mulkerrins was there for us. the women's rugby league cup is up and running, and it couldn't have started much betterfor the hosts, england — a thumping win over brazil here at headingley as they bid to win this trophy on home soil. remember, they are trying to use this tournament to grow the game, to inspire a new generation of fans and young players to come through. and the fans here today were certainly inspired by that england performance — 72—4 the final store. they ran in a plethora of tries, with hat—tricks for amy hardcastle and courtney winfield hill,
11:53 pm
the player of the match also with a hat—trick. remember, brazil are making their debut in the tournament — it's the first—ever experience at the world cup, this was just the third international. so they were a little bit of an unknown package. however, there was a moment to celebrate for them when natalia momberg scored their first—ever try at a world cup. so what about england? let's get some reaction — i spoke to amy hardcastle. i'm really happy to see different people getting over the line. there's been some great work, and we've worked really well as a team and getting that shape, as well. for me, we recognise that there were errors within the game, and we fixed that, and you can see that in the performance. that was amy hardcastle there. england off to a winning start at this world cup. canada up next for them. it was a brilliant night for great britain's women at the world gymnastics championships, in liverpool. they took silver medal in the team final, which is the best result
11:54 pm
by a british women's artistic team at this level. jessica gadirova's floor routine sealed second — but alice kinsella, georgia—mae fenton, ondine achampong, and jennifer gadirova all put in great performances. it also means that they have qualified for the paris olympics in 2024. usa took the gold for the sixth time in a row. at the t20 world cup down under, england earned a nerve—shredding 20—run win over new zealand to reignite their tournament hopes. defeat would have all but eliminated jos buttler�*s team, but england survived under intense pressure to successfully defend 179 at the gabba, in brisbane. i thought we put in a very good performance. any time you take on new zealand, you know you're up for a really tough challenge. but i'm really proud of the guys night and we came out and played with freedom, to express ourselves and show off our talent. i was really proud of the character we showed.

it's one of the most iconic, yet infamous moments in the sport — but the football that diego maradona used to score his "hand of god" goal against england, at the 1986 world cup in mexico is soon going to be sold at auction. and it's thought it could fetch as much as £3 million. the notorious goal in the 51st minute of the quarterfinal helped dump england out of the tournament. the tunisian referee kept the ball at his home for over 30 years, but has now decided to sell it. the ball is currently on display at wembley ahead of the auction on 16 november. and that's all the sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello. well, the met office have confirmed that it was another very warm month across the country, and october in england was the fourth—warmest october on record. but quite alarmingly,

we're now seeing some of the warmest conditions on record, taking the year as a whole to date. as for rainfall, well, we needed the rain, but it's only northern ireland which was significantly above average. but for the first few days of november, our rainfall accumulation chart shows that all of us will see some pretty wet weather. the darker colours in the south show some welcome rain to come here. but it's notjust wet, some windy weather, and especially during the next 24 hours. widespread gales across the country, and in this hatched area, we could see potentially damaging and disruptive gusts of wind of 50—70 mph, all tied in with this approaching and deepening area of low pressure. now, before it arrives, a little ridge there which indicates a quiet end to the night. a few mist and fog patches, a lot of dry weather, just a few showers in the south and the west, but a rather chilly start compared to what we've been used to — 2—3 celsius in some sheltered glens in scotland. lots of sunshine, though, through scotland, england, wales to begin with. northern ireland cloudy, already turning windy, increasingly wet through the morning, some heavy rain at times sliding into western scotland and through the afternoon to wales and western parts of england. much of eastern england,

though, will stay dry until later in the day, with some sunny spells. temperatures here around 15—16 celsius in the southeast, but it will feel cooler than that in the north and the west as those winds pick up. in fact, it's going to get windier as the day goes through. just an example of some of the gusts by mid—afternoon, 40—50, close to 60 mph, maybe a little bit more as we head into the evening. heavy rain sweeping across all of england. strongest winds overnight to take us into thursday across central and northern parts of scotland. winds easing a little bit later. and the clearer skies that some will see to the north and west into thursday morning, again down into single figure temperatures. milder in the southeast. and this is where the big question mark for thursday will be. the weather front may just drag its heels, bringing bursts of rain northwards and eastwards as we go through thursday, east anglia, the southeast, and the channel islands. away from that, though, more likely to see sunny spells develop, a scattering of showers, some of those heavy towards the south and west, and the temperatures 10—13 celsius. feeling cool compared to what we've been used to, but that's where we should be for this stage in november
11:58 pm
and the sort of temperatures we'll see through friday and into the weekend. friday, the driest day of the week most widely. saturday, of course, bonfire night, rain will be pushing its way in and some strong winds, too. bye for now.
