will be through the mild as it will be through the night, 9—12 first thing. if you've been watching the weather recently, this high—pressure bill dry up things in the next few days and it will drag in that south—westerly flow and it will be widespread across the country, you can see it as far north as scotland. yes, some rain around but generally with that south—westerly flow at this time of year it brings a lot of cloud, drizzly and misty conditions first thing. some of the cloud breaks up, and windy with it. in the heaviest rain, gale force gusts of wind potential in the far north and west of scotland. temperatures tomorrow around 15 or 16 degrees, 61 fahrenheit. and threw thursday evening into the early hours of friday, there is temperatures hardly falling away for some so we could start friday and incredibly mild, again, it could be a bit mostly and

murky but through friday, still the weather front in the far north and west, may be as far as central scotland through the day. we keep some cloud which will hopefully break up in places in central and southern england and wales and look at the temperatures, 17 or 18, possibly 19 for some of us on friday. and that could make it potentially the warmest armistice day on record. heading into the weekend, i can offer you something still dry and settled and relatively sunny, particularly in comparison to the weekend just past a point to a much better day perhaps more cloud in the second half of the weekend. thanks, louise. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. who hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm laura mcghie.

filling their sticker books, buying the shirts if their parents can afford it. excitement yes, some expectation may be even. i had a chance to speak to some of those younger players earlier on to ask if they are excited about the world cup. i they are excited about the world cu -. . , .. , they are excited about the world cu. . , , cup. i felt excited because i asked the question _ cup. i felt excited because i asked the question that _ cup. i felt excited because i asked the question that my _ cup. i felt excited because i asked the question that my dad - cup. i felt excited because i asked the question that my dad wanted | cup. i felt excited because i asked i the question that my dad wanted me to ask— the question that my dad wanted me to ask him _ the question that my dad wanted me to ask him and my dad said his number— to ask him and my dad said his number one fan. what was a question? are you _ number one fan. what was a question? are you excited to write your own page _ are you excited to write your own page of— are you excited to write your own page of welsh history? what was his answer? _ page of welsh history? what was his answer? he said yes, very excited. last answer? he said yes, very excited. last time _ answer? he said yes, very excited. last time they won the world cup was 1958 for— last time they won the world cup was 1958 for that _ last time they won the world cup was 1958 for that i— last time they won the world cup was 1958 for that i wasn't _ last time they won the world cup was 1958 for that i wasn't even _ last time they won the world cup was 1958 for that i wasn't even born - last time they won the world cup was 1958 for that i wasn't even born so - 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was— 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was a _ 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was a long — 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was a long time _ 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was a long time ago. _ 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was a long time ago. so - 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was a long time ago. so this - 1958 for that i wasn't even born so it was a long time ago. so this is i it was a long time ago. so this is special? — it was a long time ago. so this is special? yes. _ it was a long time ago. so this is special? yes, very— it was a long time ago. so this is special? yes, very special. - it was a long time ago. so this is special? yes, very special. howl it was a long time ago. so this is - special? yes, very special. how well can wales _ special? yes, very special. how well can wales go. — special? yes, very special. how well can wales go. do _ special? yes, very special. how well can wales go, do you _ special? yes, very special. how well can wales go, do you think? - special? yes, very special. how well can wales go, do you think? i - special? yes, very special. how well can wales go, do you think?- can wales go, do you think? i think the 're can wales go, do you think? i think they're going _ can wales go, do you think? i think they're going to _ can wales go, do you think? i think they're going to do _ can wales go, do you think? i think they're going to do really _ can wales go, do you think? i think they're going to do really well- they're going to do really well because — they're going to do really well because rob page is a really good manager — because rob page is a really good manager i— because rob page is a really good manager. i think they can do really well. ., , . , manager. i think they can do really well. ., , ., , ., manager. i think they can do really well. ., , ., ., ., well. rob page is a good manager, he's well. rob page is a good manager, has proven — well. rob page is a good manager, he's proven that. _ well. rob page is a good manager, he's proven that. but _ well. rob page is a good manager, he's proven that. but is _ well. rob page is a good manager, he's proven that. but is he - he's proven that. but is he good enough on the world stage? you wales did 0k at the euros last year but everyone here will certainly be hoping they can make it out of the

group. the first big game, usa, that could decide it. a few days later i ran and then england for that third game in the group. the names will be announced on this stage later on. i think the biggest nerve—racking moment for rob page my come at the weekend when he sees some of those players play their final game weekend when he sees some of those players play theirfinal game before they get together on sunday night and get on the plane on tuesday. last—minute injuries, that really would spoil the party potentially for some. would spoil the party potentially forsome. but would spoil the party potentially for some. but for now it's a moment of celebration. we also launched their world, they're about to launch their world, they're about to launch their squad injust a their world, they're about to launch their squad in just a few days' time they will be flying out to qatar. all eyes on tyler's town tonight. the england squad will be revealed tomorrow — but chelsea defender reece james will not be part of it. he says he's devastated to miss out with a knee injury. it's understood manager gareth southgate deemed it too big a risk to take the chelsea defender,

but it adds further selection headache with england right back kyle walker also injured.former england striker alan shearer is concerned about england's defensive dilemna. he's got some big decisions to make in terms of his 11 and what he starts and what system is get a play. i think it slightly easier for him with being able to have a squad of 26 rather then 23. so if have those extra players in the air, we have got wanted to injuries, which he has to make a call on. maybe two or three of his players that he has to make those decisions on having played for six or seven weeks. so yeah, he's got important decisions to make. but with the success that england have had in the last two tournaments, in terms of getting to work up some of final and getting to the final of the last tournament we all want england to go that one step further and try and win it without

weather we can or not remains be seen. it is going to be difficult and i think certainly in midfield positions and forward, positions he would be rather confident. but in terms of defensively, that's an area for concern. i terms of defensively, that's an area for concern-— for concern. i think rhys james has been ruled — for concern. i think rhys james has been ruled out _ for concern. i think rhys james has been ruled out this _ for concern. i think rhys james has been ruled out this morning. - for concern. i think rhys james has been ruled out this morning. 50 . for concern. i think rhys james has been ruled out this morning. 50 do j been ruled out this morning. 50 do ou think been ruled out this morning. 50 do you think that _ been ruled out this morning. 50 do you think that opens _ been ruled out this morning. 50 do you think that opens up _ been ruled out this morning. 50 do you think that opens up a - been ruled out this morning. ’sr cr you think that opens up a place for some, maybe a gamble on some? knowing whether kyle walker is going to be read or phillips is good to be fit, they are decisions only the manager will know. i'm pretty sure he spoke into those players already and they've given an update on their fitness and whether he thinks it's worth a gamble on one or if both of those players. that is something we will have to wait and see and to find out. if not opens up the door for someone else. if not opens up the door for someone else. now, after helping the lionesses to euros glory in the summer, winning the golden boot and the player of the tournament

week, as the game is not during an official international window. liverpool's andy robertson and everton right back nathan patterson return to the side from injury. bath striker alex fletcher is in a critical but stable condition, after crashing into advertising hoardings during the clubs' national league south game last night. the fixture was abandoned soon after and fletcher underwent emergency neurosurgery. jimmy white has qualified for the uk snooker championship at the age of sixty. he beat dominic dale in the final round of qualifying to secure his place in tomorrow's draw. the event begins in york on saturday. white won the tournament thirty years ago. the former england centre luther burrell says the rfu investigation into his allegations of racism in rugby union has finished and expected an outcome in a few weeks — which has subsequently been

confirmed by the rfu. burrell spoke about his experiences in the summer, saying racist banter had become normalised and that racism was rife in the sport. it prompted the rfu to say they would investigate his claims, taking over an internal investigation at his most recent club, the newcastle falcons. ido i do believe that they are or they gathered information from the right areas, to myself, for the players that being in certain environments to me and the information required to me and the information required to actually get a full determination of where this was going on. at the t20 world cup, pakistan have turned around their fortunes to reach the final after a thunderous seven wicket win over new zealand in sydney. it continues a stunning comeback for pakistan, who were on the brink of elimination earlier in the tournament,

after losing to rivals india and zimbabwe. pakistan will now return to the mcg, the ground where they won the 1992 world cup, for the final on sunday where they will meet england or india. joe wilson reports. at this for a cup they've been defeated, prorated but never deflated. and here when it really mattered pakistan were at their very best. but they will only reach this semifinal because south africa had somehow lost to the netherlands and the group stage. now pakistan made their own, restricting new zealand tojust 152 their own, restricting new zealand to just 152 from the 20 overs. in a city night new zealand to win had to get everything right, they didn't. pakistan's opening batters put over 100 runs between them. rees—mogg, lots of placement and significant power. new zealand had dropped the chance to get rid of bob azam in the

very last over. he gleefully return for the pakistan one with five balls to spare. they plate england or india and the final. what options, what a journey and not what an opportunity. joe wilson, bbc news. so as joe was just saying, it's england and india that will battle it out in thursday's t20 world cup semi—final in adelaide. this is england's fourth consecutive world cup semi—final in white ball cricket. jonathan agnew has been speaking to the former england batter ravi bopara. here we're at the adelaide oval looking ahead to the second semifinal of course featuring england and india alongside me form a england playerfor that special event. one game away from winning a world cup final, a lot of pressure, is annette?— world cup final, a lot of pressure, is annette? ~ , , ., i. is annette? well, it depends on you see it. it's
