we are all going to be looking for a community, we may lose our loved ones, and i think this club is like an amazing alternative family. it's five, everybody. and then there is the main event, the hometown gala premiere. in 90 years of movie—making, there have been no glamorous premieres, many ups and downs, so today for the bradford movie makers it's quite a moment. applause. david sillitoe, bbc news, bradford. time for a look at the weather, here's ben rich. why is it so unseasonably warm? well, as so often with our whether it is down to the jet stream, at
1:31 pm
least in part. thejet it is down to the jet stream, at least in part. the jet stream running to the west of the british isles here is currently blowing with winds in excess of 200 miles an hour. we have got a really strong jet high up in the atmosphere. it is dipping a long way south and that is scooping up some really warm air from the azores and the canaries and that strong jet is pumping that warmer northwards. that is why it really does not feel much like november at the moment. and last night, provisionally scotland and northern ireland saw their warmest november night on record. temperatures staying above 14 degrees in a few locations. but at the same time we have seen lots of rain in the north—west of scotland. in fact, some places here have seen more than 200 millimetres of rain, close to a month was much worse in just the last few days. and there is more rain to come in north—west scotland and northern ireland through the afternoon. very windy across the northern part of the uk,
1:32 pm
very gusty in scotland, and in north—east scotland we have seen temperatures of 19 degrees. elsewhere, i7, 18 degrees, temperatures of 19 degrees. elsewhere, 17, 18 degrees, really mild out there. this evening and overnight this band of cloud and patchy rain pushes further southwards. behind that we have got some cooler air, so it will be chillier than last night across much of scotland. further south are a little bit less mild as well. generally speaking we stick with quite mild conditions to take us through to the weekend. we will see some spells of sunshine and fog through the morning. a bit of fog around tomorrow morning, particularly for central and eastern parts of england. and we will see some sunshine spreading northwards as this rain retreats across the north—west of scotland. most places dry by the end of the day. not quite as mild as today, 1a in aberdeen, but in the south we are still looking at highs of 17 or 18.
1:33 pm
remembrance sunday, there could be quite a lot of fog around in the north sea coast and may be fog inland as well, but it should clear and most places will see spells of sunshine. but a frontal system likely to bring cloud and rain into northern ireland late on sunday afternoon. 1a to 17 degrees. how long will the mild weather last? it will cool down next week, but only really to where we should be for this time of year. a reminder of our top story, the uk economy shrank by 0.2% betweenjuly and september. analysts predict this could be the start of a two—year long recession. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news.
1:34 pm
in less than 2a hours' time, the england red roses, will be getting their women's rugby union, world cup final, underway in auckland against the hosts new zealand. england have been top of the world rankings, since november 2020 and have won their past 30 tests. the longest streak in the history of international rugby. emily scarrett helped england win the 2014 world cup, scoring a late try which secured the victory. this is herfourth world cup final and has this advice for her less—experienced teammates. the whole journey itself is one you have to enjoy and relish. it's tough, we've been away from home for a long time but kind of, don't wish it away and stay really present with it away and stay really present with it all. i've been lucky to do four, but for many people this is their first and it could be the last and you don't know how it will pan out, so you have to enjoy the journey, give it everything and then hopefully whatever the result, you can reflect and not have regrets on
1:35 pm
being the ones lifting the trophy, it's everything you had worked towards. it's kind of that relief feeling, because that was the goal, and you've actually done it as well as the jubilation and at the other end its the pitts comics are not a nice place to be a knot where anybody wants to be and you stand and you watch the other team doing everything you want to be doing and smiles on faces of pure joy, so definitely a driving force, to not be at that end of the spectrum again. finn russell will start for scotland against new zealand on sunday after his recall. (00v)the racing 92 fly—half has 63 scotland caps but was originally left out of the autumn nations series. he's been drafted in after an injury to adam hastings. scotland opened their series with a narrow defeat to australia and win over fiji. mark wood is struggling to be fit for the t20 final against pakistan

show ninja warrior? well in six years time people could be competing for a gold medal in something very similar. it's part of proposals within the sport of modern pentathlon, but it's seen a number of athletes, express anger and frustration, as well as, a current british olympian saying he would quit. matt graveling reports. it's fast, physical and controversial. in just six years, this ninja warrior—style event could be in the olympics. the activity would replace showjumping as part of modern pentathlon, which made headlines last year when a german coach punched a horse. but britain's reigning olympic champion says if this happens, he will quit. stays the same, i don't think it is an acceptable way to manage a sport so,
1:39 pm
on principle, i would walk away. we are looking for the future. we are proud about the past. but never forget change, or you will be changed. with the sport in flux, modern pentathlon is not currently listed for the olympics in 2028. president schormann says it needs to become more appealing and accessible and this is why obstacle racing was chosen from 61 other suggestions during a recent consultation. it was the only option that was tested. the uipm said this was due
1:40 pm
to time constraints. however, this contract, shown to the bbc, seems to suggest that the uipm had plans tojoin forces with the international obstacle racing federation five years earlier. in a statement, the uipm said... this drafted document was never signed, never actioned and had nothing to do with obstacle discipline becoming a potential fifth discipline for modern pentathlon. it was a separate conversation with a view to adding obstacles to the shooting element of the sport. alex watson competed in modern pentathlon at three olympic games. he has put himself forward to replace dr schormann as president. the sport is in chaos. and it cannot continue. what i would ask the uipm is you said that there was a process of selecting the fifth discipline, but we know they never disclosed that they have been in negotiations with obstacle racing for a number of years. tomorrow's vote to switch disciplines requires support from at least two thirds of national federations. so after more than a century of showjumping in modern pentathlon, paris 2024 could be the discipline's final games, and possibly the last for some of the sport's current stars, for whom the handling of this change is too big an obstacle to overcome.

six decades ago, lilian thorpe gave birth to a stillborn baby boy, but she never had the chance to hold him in her arms or kiss him goodbye. back then, babies who were stillborn were taken away and buried by the hospital. lilian has since found her son's grave and her story has inspired many other families to go in search of the final resting place of their stillborn babies — including marjorie rigby whose baby daughter died 76 years ago. suzanne hailey reports. marjorie and charlie rigby, pictured here on their wedding day in 1945, three days before ve day. a year after the second world war had ended, marjorie, who'd worked as a plotter in the women's auxiliary air force, was expecting her first baby.
1:42 pm
there was no prenatal care in those days, and you just lived your normal life without any extra care. just got on with it, really, because it was my first baby and both my husband and i had been through the war. i was promised a treat, so i was booked into a private nursing home. but the labour turned out to be very long. it was actually three days. the matron called the consultant from the hospital and hejust spoke to her, really, rather than to me, and said, this baby's dead, we'll get her into hospital. a month overdue, marjorie delivered her stillborn baby girl after a highly traumatic labour. and then i was just taken back to my room and left. nobody came to talk to me or tell me how to get on with life, you know. i was just left.
1:43 pm
i was in there for a fortnight, which was normal in those days. and then ijust went home and carried on. marjorie went on to have two more daughters. she says it was later in her life that she felt the trauma of what happened. ijust thought, well, if she's gone in an incinerator, she's gone and that's it. i didn't...| didn't think about — i tried not to think about it, really. life went on, but marjorie never forgot her baby girl, who she named laura. every year, i get a new diary at christmas and the first date i put in there is september the 3rd — laura's birthday. every year for 70 odd years. now, at the age of 102, marjorie is a great grandmother. herfamily have helped her
1:44 pm
to heal over the years. this is a memorial plaque that my daughter made for my mum to acknowledge the birth of her stillborn baby. earlier this year, 76 years after losing her baby, marjorie and her family found baby laura's resting place in stockport cemetery. we found out that our sister had her own little coffin and had been buried with five other babies and an adult — in an unmarked plot, but that doesn't matter. so we told mum and we went to see the plot. just took a little bunch of flowers from the garden. and the look of peace on mum's face was worth everything. it was just amazing. at least it's acknowledged finally, hasn't it, mum? definitely. yeah, it's sort of peace now. marjorie and herfamily were helped by the charity brief lives remembered,
1:45 pm
who also helped them to secure a still birth certificate. it's really been a big relief to know where she is and that she was actually put in a coffin with other babies. a lifetime and beyond. time is a healer, but grief like this stops the clocks. finally, for marjorie, answers. the truth and closure. i'm not happy, but i know it's got a conclusion. and i can sort of close my mind off now as to what might have happened. i know what has happened. suzanne hailey, bbc news.
