independent. more pressure for the government. we're talking about the possibility of strikes this winter. and the story specifically is about the prospect of 100,000 civil servants who voted to strike today, which can affect everything from flights to driving licenses to how quickly you can get passports. many people remember having long delays already forgetting driving licenses. this is a long list on those who are about to vote on strike action this winter. many people are making parallels to the 1970s winter of discontent, and next week, the trade union congress are going to talk about coordinating this action. this is something the government has to be wary about because the unions will be keeping a close eye on this autumn statement next week, and if they don't get what they want, its going to perhaps induce a few more of them to come out on strike. hat

hello, this is your update from the bbc sport centre. manchester united are through to their last 16 after getting the better of aston villa. villa took the lead through this goal through watkins, and then ada goal through watkins, and then ada go dalot own goals. marcus rashford on the evening of his call up made it 2-2. on the evening of his call up made it 2—2. united scored two more. first es: then mctominay made the deal —— scott mctominay made the deal —— sealed the deal. with 11 days to go, until england kick off their world cup campaign, gareth southgate has confirmed the 26—man group that'll be travelling to qatar. much of the team is tried and tested, but perhaps the most eye—catching on that list are james maddison and callum wilson
11:51 pm
— getting their first international call—ups in three years. maddison's only england cap came as a substitute against montenegro in november 2019. he's playing really well. will he's a good player. we've always said he's a good player. he's earned the right. we think he can give us something slightly different, but i think he's playing as well as any we've got different types of threat and i think we need that. full details of the england squad are on the bbc sport website. great britain's tennis players are through to the semifinals of the billiejean king cup in glasgow after a fantastic win over spain today. britain needed to win all three of their matches in the tie, and after wins in the singles for heather watson and harriet dart, the doubles pair of alicia barnett and olivia nicholls beat aliona bolsova and rebeka masarova

as exclusive rights holders to the 50—over world cup final. that match was won by england, and over 8 million domestic viewers watched eoin morgan's side win at lord's. buttler says it's important to get "as many eyes" as possible on a game he thinks will be compulsive viewing. well, england got to the final by hammering india by ten wickets in the semifinals today. they won with a full four overs to spare, with openersjos buttler and alex hales taking the indian attack apart. 0ur reporter henry moeran and former england bowler alex hartley were watching in adelaide. i don't think any of us all that coming. i don't think any of us all that cominu. ~ ., , �* i don't think any of us all that cominu. ~ . , �* ., coming. we really didn't. england were seen in _ coming. we really didn't. england were seen in the _ coming. we really didn't. england were seen in the underdogs - coming. we really didn't. england were seen in the underdogs of. i he backed england, he said they were the better side. england had a decent run chase. they had to get 169 to win. they got 13 over. jos buttler and alex hales set the world alight. they didn't even lose a wicket.
11:54 pm
it looked incredibly easy in that run chase. and that's what they want to do. they want to capitalise on the powerplay, and once they did that, they didn't slow down. 0nce india had five fielders. alex hales played the short boundaries absolutely perfectly here at adelaide oval. jos buttler can clear any boundary straight. 88 metres. it was just extraordinary. they weren't reckless, but they were aggressive. india have the greatest talent pool in world cricket. and england have absolutely destroyed them. yeah, i think india were pretty shell—shocked. we sell the ball hit through extra cover and a deep long up. they didn't even go and pick the ball up. luke wood had to run up and throw the ball back in. that shows india couldn't believe what was happening, and they just let england carry
11:55 pm
on with the momentum. with the ball, england did a great job in restricting the run scoring. his numbers haven't backed up his performances. a lot of people will look at the scorecard and say he's been quite expensive. tonight, he wasn't. when he bows like he did tonight, i don't think there's anyone better in the world. now we look to sunday, a repeat of the 1992 world cup final. this is going to be some occasion. if pakistan played like they did in the semifinal, it's going to be a belter. if pakistan come out and packed their way to five and over, they're going to have to play catch—up. they like to be aggressive. swinging the ball into the right—handers, we could see some fireworks. yeah, let's see how that game goes. and that is all the sport from us for now.

hello there. 0ur exceptionally mild spell of november. weather is set to stick around for another few days. there's also a lot of dry weather on the cards, but we have got some rain across the far northwest of the uk. not only is it very mild out there, but it will also feel windy once again through friday. so, we've got high pressure towards the southeast, and this waving weather front in the northwest — that combination of weather systems means our winds are coming in from the southwest. so, from a very warm direction, we're drawing up this warm air from the azores right up towards the uk, you can see the orange colours on the map there. so, a very, very mild start to friday morning. on average, we'd expect overnight lows this time of year to be between about 3—6 celsius north—to—south — but overnight temperatures at the moment between about 13—15, so a good ten degrees or even more than that above average for the time of year. so, very mild to start things off, also fairly cloudy for most of us. we will see rain initially for the western isles and parts of highland — that area of rain will track eastwards across scotland and northern ireland through the day, becoming lighter
11:57 pm
and patchier as it does so. england and wales predominantly dry, the odd spot of drizzle in the west, best of the sunshine towards the east. but gusts of wind once again, a realfeature — 30—a0mph for many of us, 50mph across parts of scotland and through the irish sea, too. and temperatures 16—17 for most of us, but as high as 19 celsius for the northeast of scotland, probably the warmest spot during armistice day on friday. so, through the day, then, we'll be seeing this area of rain moving a bit further south for a time, and then, starting to return northwards overnight and on into saturday morning, so still very mild, not quite as mild as first thing friday morning, though. we're down into single figures across parts of scotland. so, through the day on saturday, there's that area of rain clearing to the north, slowly, just sitting up towards the northern isles for longest. but elsewhere, after mist and fog clear away from parts of england and wales, should be a bit more sunshine coming through. lighter winds than we've seen, 17—18 towards the south, mid—teens further north. and for remembrance sunday, again, largely dry and settled. some early mist and fog, which should clear away from the vale of york,
11:58 pm
welsh marches, for instance, as well. lighter winds not quite as warm, but we're still looking at temperatures well above average, 13—17 celsius. probably the last of the dry and warm—feeling days, because things are set to turn cooler and more unsettled as we head through next week. bye for now.
