wales and the southwest. but with some squally showers coming in on the winds. and then for the middle of the week, we are very confident that we're going to be dominated by low pressure. so, there will be rain around and it will be windy. but as to where we see the heaviest rain and strongest winds, that is varying a little as we get close to the time we should be able to bring in more detail. current thinking wednesday, very wet across the southern half of the uk. the rain shifting north later in the day. strong winds across england and wales, particularly wednesday evening and particularly along the channel coast and then into the small hours of thursday, some of the strongest of winds for the northeast of england, the northeast of scotland, we could even see storm force winds across the northern aisles for a time early on on thursday. thursday and friday generally seeing things tending to become a little quieter. still breezy on thursday, still quite a lot of showers around, friday drier for many. but the upshot of this week's weather is actually a pretty wet story, particularly in some areas towards the west. best part of 100 mm of rain.

hello and welcome to the programme. england cricketers are double world champions. achieving the feat for the first time in the men's game. they've added the t20 world cup to the 50 over title from 2019. beating pakistan by five wickets in the final in australia. for ben stokes — more redemption, the man who let this competition fall through england's grasp six years ago has been the foundation for their two white ball trophies since then. joe wilson reports. 100,000 could come. marvellous cricket ground. but if they compare play anywhere on earth, the fans follow all the wrist —— flick of the wrist and the celebrations begin. control matters. harris hits and hoped and waited beneath it been stokes. and england supporters were around too. bored and caught and pakistan stumbled.

a star, gone from 26, the game was alive. but when he got injured, been stokes attacked the other boulders the other boulders decisively. it was stokes, who else to end this final. �* , , , , ., ., final. i'm 'ust immensely proud of eve one final. i'm just immensely proud of everyone here _ final. i'm just immensely proud of everyone here and _ final. i'm just immensely proud of everyone here and it's _ final. i'm just immensely proud of everyone here and it's been - final. i'm just immensely proud of everyone here and it's been a - final. i'm just immensely proud of| everyone here and it's been a long journey and if few changes over how we played over the last few years we are reaping the rewards of that. his troh are reaping the rewards of that. his trophy to cope with the 50 over world cup. england are true world champions. joe wilson, bbc news. england have now won three trophies and their history in 2010 at 2019 and their history in 2010 at 2019 and 2022 in that is the man, i been speaking to someone who helped deliver the first of those three. ryan was in the team that won the

2000 10t20 ryan was in the team that won the 200010t20 world cup and he gave us an insight into how the current side might be celebrating. the tears will definitely be flowing. and they're probably favourites of the tournaments going in from the t20s beforehand. i think the island sometimes, you can become a little bit comfortable and i think losing to ireland was probably kick—starting england's tournament and probably a bit behind in terms of bowlers getting plenty of overs and gametime under the belt but after the island match, i don't think ever i don't think they ever looked back since then. they've been absently outstanding and i've enjoyed watching them. i think the bowling unit has been wonderful and everyone's contributed and in the tournaments, to win global tournaments, everyone needs to be firing the quite clearly done that in this tournament. to have that mentality, this been many and to have that mentality, this been many an occasionally spoke about the england

cricket team and their failures. as the sun and the bbc today, there lack of smarts but it seems to me that after the ireland game in the run chase as well, earlier today, that the right head on their shoulders. since 2019 and winning the world cup under the pressure on home soil, i think we've been accustomed to singing england side accustomed to seeing an england side be more relaxed and have a little bit more poise and level—headed and play well under pressure and when you've got someone called ben stokes in that mix, quite clearly shows. the whole team has been excellent and ripe from the area and i think yes, individually, t20 cricket, you can have an indiviual that has a day out for your team but i think to win big tournaments, your team must be playing well and

consistently begin, the match, the team have been brilliant and played so well under pressure and you could argue that the mcg was almost the home game for pakistan. they made the crowd and the occasion and make the game of it. it could've been interesting and another 20 runs but england have been the best team in this tournament and they've gone on to win it comfortably and i'm really pleased for the whole side. they've been amazing. if you chart ben stokes journey in the final 2016 letter for delivery and smashed a six by him give the west indies the victory. it was devastating for him at the time in the incident much talked about outside of bristol nightclub that lead to disciplinary action. he has been come back and h at helped them win the 50

the 50 over world cup, and i appreciate that this is been talked about in an amazon documentary, but it is spend extraordinary strength for him in particular. it's amazing. it's a boyhood dream story, isn't it? it is something that she read many books. redemption and i think secondly, we all have highs and lows in work, in life it is many ups and downs, there's lots of negatives and positives and i think the 2016 world cup is the 2016 world cup is highlighting how much he has improved and matured and learned from mistakes and what a story, if you want someone with a calm influence some of the plays under pressure, no panic and makes it right to the team, it right to the team, it is ben stokes. and thinking and thoughtful and no panic and knows what he's doing under huge pressure and he's seen england over the line once again. it might be one that we talk

about for a long time. as the villa have one under emery, patrick geary reports. signalled by the end of the final match at craven cottage, where alejandro garnacho gave manchester united a dramatic late win over fulham, while aston villa have won again under new boss unai emery. patrick gearey reports. last day of term easy to get giddy. to concentrate on what is ahead of you, not who is behind. they barely taken the register when aston villa come up bright and 50 seconds and. exactly what unai emery did not want. telling the team to compete just whatjohn did here. his touch, louis trip, villa's penalty. the 100 legal. the mood changed in the second half and a bright and loosen their ties and villa pounced. again, 2—1.

they knew there would be a response. since the summer, bright of fluster manager and several plays but never faded. this was an off day in a good season. for villa comments by the opposite. something to hold onto. the last scene of this first act of the season will be a craving cottage with the early optimism was with season will be a craving cottage with the early optimism was ended by some manchester united minimalism. three telling touches in the last was the first united goal for chris erickson. keep an eye on him at the world cup while fulham struggled to. that might�*ve been 2—0 just before half—time. and for him to just about see a part of the match and then james will find it a little over two minutes later against his old team, james changed the game. united made their own substitution and alejandro just as the premier league prepared to pause, one last touch, one last twist. the world cup has an act to follow.

at one stage, scotland's advantage was nine points over new zealand. but they couldn't hold on to register a first win against the all blacks, beaten 31—23 at murrayfield in their autumn international. joe lynskey has the story. 0ne guest at marie field got a welcome from every player. five years of his charity with his sons and the match ball. he is a giant figure in a rugby history that has seen scotland never beat new zealand. to draw since 1905 have been the all blacks and the start here was the same. but from 14—0 down, scotland change the pattern. but from 14—0 down, scotland changed the pattern. two tries had them level. the second weaved by graham and with the boot of ben russell, scotland built a lead. but some cheers can come too soon.

with dempsey for the knock on, scotland had one piece knocked out in the all blacks broke through. they won by eight points in scotland's weight goes on, against this team, it has been the same for a century. snooker�*s world number two neil robertson has been knocked out in the first round of the uk championship by qualifierjoe perry. robertson lost the first four frames to perry, and having got two back, missed this black in the 8th. it handed the table back to perry, who made the australian pay, clearing the table and putting away the pink to knock the three time winner out. england are through to the wheelchair rugby league world cup final. the hosts play france on friday for the biggest prize in the sport, after a dominant performance against wales to win their semi final by 125 points to 22. here's drew savage this is what it means

to engalnd to set up a final for a third running. deja vu maybe, but the opportunity in manchester awaits. england are ranked second in the world, wales third. but in this semi—final, the host nation opened up a gap that grew and grew. seb bechara was asking questions with his pace and power that wales just couldn't answer. and away he goes! he had a hat—trick within 7 minutes. wales finally got a try on the board in the 19th minute but this was about as good as it got for them. if the crowd in sheffield were hoping for a close contest, they didn't get that but there was plenty to admire, not least the skills of jack brown. we are in the presence of absolute brilliance! he was almost untouchable, england's man of the match scored eight tries in all — he described his team's performance as ruthless and the final score of 125 points to 22 reflects that. before the game, we got reminded how important this was.

this is a world cup semifinal we've been waiting for this for five years we are finally there. and yeah, just going to make the most of this and do our best this week to review everything we can and just do our best next week. but this is what england will be up against when it comes to le crunch on friday. france took an early lead against australia and never lost it. the wheelaroos made a game of it, but the world champions showed their class. ds bbc news. four george russell claimed their first win, — four george russell claimed their first win, 24 years old, he's british_ first win, 24 years old, he's british and he won the saw apollo after_ british and he won the saw apollo after winning the sprint race. lewis hamilton also locking out the front row and came second.
