this year. we've had some beautiful pictures but what a soggy dog walking day it has been, hasn't it? we have had a thorough soaking if you have been out and about. you can see the rainfall in the last few hours, it is still across scotland at the moment with tricky travel conditions and heavy showers sweeping in behind. some of the wettest places have had between 50 and 75 millimetres of rain in the past 12 to 18 hours. no wonder we have flood warnings out in some parts of south england and scotland. the low pressure and the rain is relentless. this shows the rainfall throughout the rest of the week and some parts of the highlands, as you can see, may get in excess of 80 millimetres of rain. this evening and overnight, that rain pulls away and it becomes stuck across the northern isles, particularly shetland. heavy showers behind rumbles of thunder. not great for dogs. in between it has a little

—— it gets a little cooler. miss dennis in northern ireland possible. but it looks a drier day for the bulk of the uk. —— mist —— miistiness. heavy rain comes back into the south—west later. it is cooler. but for many it is drier and cooler. but for many it is drier and cooler. this next area of low pressure rolls in. again, another 30, 40 pressure rolls in. again, another 30, a0 millimetres of rain possible. gale is through the channel. severe gale. winds continuing across shetland. that low pressure makes its way further north on thursday. an issue with rain in the south again tomorrow evening and overnight and across the north as we go into thursday. this rain is relentless. thanks very much. and that's bbc news at six. time tojoin our

time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions. good night. hello and welcome to sportsday. touchdown in qatar — england now have six days before their first match at the world cup. wales will arrive in the gulf state in the next few hours — how long can they stay there in their first world cup for 6a years? and with the just the finals to go in the rugby league world cup, we'll hear from one of england's women after after last night's semifinal defeat. it's devastating, to be honest. we went into the game genuinely believing we can win. 0ur went into the game genuinely believing we can win. our goal was to lift the world cup. also coming up in the programme... we'll have the latest from the york barbican and snooker�*s uk championship.

was one scare with james madison who came off early in the game but in terms of the team's schedule they get straight into it. tomorrow there is open training at a:30 local time, followed by a press conference with a player, we don't know who it is yet, that is exactly how it goes all the way leading up to that iran game. training, media and not much else. gareth southgate doesn't have too long to get his plans across before the first game next week. we are just seeing some pictures of the doha skyline and some of those eight steady. fouryears doha skyline and some of those eight steady. four years ago they travelled vast distances across russia, that was such a big part of their schedule. russia, that was such a big part of theirschedule. but russia, that was such a big part of their schedule. but now everything is just a short bus ride away. yes. isjust a short bus ride away. yes, this is the — isjust a short bus ride away. yes, this is the smallest _ isjust a short bus ride away. yes, this is the smallest country - isjust a short bus ride away. yes this is the smallest country that a world cup has been held in. just 35 miles, the longest distance you need to travel between stadiums. so for fans and teams that has pluses and

some negatives as well. for a team it is great because you can stay in one base, you don't have to factor in training days, you can base yourself at the team training camp and know that everything is going to be there. and recovery will be a big thing for this team as well because the games come thick and fast and they arejust coming the games come thick and fast and they are just coming off that big premier league schedule, so although it is small, takes a while to to the airport, the term doesn't start until next week, there are definitely pluses alongside the negatives of the size of the world cup. to negatives of the size of the world cu -. ., , , cup. to the nitty-gritty, the football bit! _ cup. to the nitty-gritty, the football bit! expectation - cup. to the nitty-gritty, the . football bit! expectation always follows england, but they have been of this upward curve and a gareth southgate, semifinals of the last world cup, runners—up at the last european championships, but their form has been really patchy over the last 12 months. he form has been really patchy over the last 12 months.— last 12 months. he 'ust mentioned it there, so last 12 months. he 'ust mentioned it there. so did _ last 12 months. he 'ust mentioned it

that it feels surreal. it's a first for him and his teamates. a first world cup in over 60 years. george zielinski reports from cardiff, where the players had a final training session before setting off. it may be quiet at cardiff airport at the moment but earlier this afternoon, wales fans turned out to see their side fly out to the world cup finals for the first time since 1958. you can see behind me the branding welcoming them to the airport. branding welcoming them to the airort. ., , , , ., airport. hopefully they will do well, i'm praying _ airport. hopefully they will do well, i'm praying they - airport. hopefully they will do well, i'm praying they do - airport. hopefully they will do | well, i'm praying they do well. would love to see them in the next stage. a recognition as they have got that one game and they have won that one game, theyjust need to keep striding forward and they will be fine. , . , ., ., ., be fine. they have shown what a little nation _ be fine. they have shown what a little nation can _ be fine. they have shown what a little nation can do. _ be fine. they have shown what a little nation can do. at _ be fine. they have shown what a little nation can do. at the - be fine. they have shown what a little nation can do. at the finall little nation can do. at the final ress little nation can do. at the final press conference, _ little nation can do. at the final press conference, gareth - little nation can do. at the final press conference, gareth bale l little nation can do. at the final i press conference, gareth bale did allude to issues in qatar, he said he wanted to use the wales squad to shine a light on the problems out

there, but they do go into the competition with a degree of confidence and excitement. the group therein is a tough group, the usa are young and exciting, iran perhaps the dark horses of group b and of course there is the old enemy, england, with all the talent they have at their disposal. but as i say, great degree of confidence among the squad as they compete in theirfirst among the squad as they compete in their first world among the squad as they compete in theirfirst world cup in 6a among the squad as they compete in their first world cup in 6a years. well, wales open their world cup campaign against the usa at the al rayyan stadium. the americans were one of the first countries to arrive in doha, but already they've set their stall out, addressing issues surrounding inclusivity and lgbt rights in the host country. joe lynskey reports. day one at the us team based in doha and there is a statement. the red stripes of their crest now has the rainbow flag. is, they say, to

support and embrace lgbt fans. it’s support and embrace lgbt fans. it's a sin of support and embrace lgbt fans. it�*s a sign of our values and what we represent as an international time in us soccer, and we believe in inclusivity and we hope to project the message going forward. lantigen the message going forward. when we're on world _ the message going forward. when we're on world stage _ the message going forward. when we're on world stage in _ the message going forward. when we're on world stage in a - the message going forward. when we're on world stage in a venue like qatar— we're on world stage in a venue like qatar it _ we're on world stage in a venue like qatar it is _ we're on world stage in a venue like qatar it is important to bring awareness to these issues. we recognise — awareness to these issues. we recognise that qatar has made strides— recognise that qatar has made strides and has been making progress but there _ strides and has been making progress but there is— strides and has been making progress but there is still some work to do. on the _ but there is still some work to do. on the kit. — but there is still some work to do. on the kit, the stripes are still red. this is a standard written on the walls of the us training base. the team start their world cup with wales on monday then just like in 2010, they meet england. the united states level- — 2010, they meet england. the united states level. both _ 2010, they meet england. the united states level. both british _ 2010, they meet england. the united states level. both british sides - 2010, they meet england. the united states level. both british sides say i states level. both british sides say the will states level. both british sides say they will wear _ states level. both british sides say they will wear the _ states level. both british sides say they will wear the one _ states level. both british sides say they will wear the one love - states level. both british sides say i they will wear the one love armband. a nice warm welcome. the they will wear the one love armband. a nice warm welcome.— they will wear the one love armband. a nice warm welcome. the us has one

the consumption of alcohol, which normally doesn't happen in the streets in doha but will happen during the world cup. but it really depends on whether they stay once the tournament is over and if there is a commitment to reform then clearly they do have to stay, but beyond that, we need to know how fast change has been made and what the nature of the change has been. so we need to continue scrutinising qatar. if we believe our principles are the right ones and of qatar says that we do want to make changes. and you can hear more on that topic on today's football news show — world cup 2022: what can we expect? available shortly on bbc iplayer. we'll have more on the world cup later in sportsday. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other headlines. former england international aaron lennon, who played at two world cups, has retired

from football at the age of 35. the winger played premier league football for leeds, tottenham and everton and left burnley at the end of last season. tyson fury says he "needs to fight" fellow british heavyweight anthonyjoshua before he retires. negotiations over a bout broke down in september. fury will defend his wbc world title against derek chisora next month england's alice capsey hit 80 off just 52 balls to lead melbourne stars to victory over hobart hurricanes in the women's big bash league. the teenager hit five sixes. craig richards gave a very emotional news conference last night after england's women lost their rugby league world cup semifinal to new zealand. the head coach was in tears as announced that he would be standing down. that was confirmed today. he'd been in the job since 2017. the rfl say they'll replace him once the tournament is over. straight after their 20—6 defeat in york, richards was asked whether his

part—timers would need to turn professional if they are to properly compete at future tournaments. potentially they need to be, the girls need to experience more intensity, more competition. the need to be made to work to score tries, to make yardage and unfortunately you will get it in some games where you just kind of employee them together in these girls because they work so hard but thatis girls because they work so hard but that is potentially the way it could go on. one of those players, vicky molyneux, was named in the team of the tournament. she's now back home with her family and preparing to return to her day—job later this week. she's a pe teacher. i spoke to her about last night's defeat, which was clearly still very raw. it is devastating, to be honest. we

went into the game genuinely believing we can win. and our goal was to lift the world cup. so toulouse last night, such a good side. —— mike cyril, to lose. we tried and battled and made it hard for them but they were just really strong on all the areas of the field. we are really heartbroken. it's generally devastating. nothing in it at half-time, _ it's generally devastating. nothing in it at half-time, just _ it's generally devastating. nothing in it at half-time, just a _ it's generally devastating. nothing in it at half-time, just a couple - it's generally devastating. nothing in it at half-time, just a couple of| in it at half—time, just a couple of points, is it that professionalism and the fact you guys are essentially part—timers thatjust told in the second half? essentially part-timers that 'ust told in the second half?�* essentially part-timers that 'ust told in the second half? yeah. you know, it told in the second half? yeah. you know. it was _ told in the second half? yeah. you know, it was close, _ told in the second half? yeah. you know, it was close, it _ told in the second half? yeah. you know, it was close, it was - told in the second half? yeah. you know, it was close, it was 8-6 - told in the second half? yeah. you know, it was close, it was 8-6 at l know, it was close, it was 8—6 at half—time and to be honest, i don't feel like in the first half were outclassed at all. i think if you looked at both sides, you couldn't really pick out who would be the full—time professionals and maybe some of ours would match them, there weren't many comparisons. but i think it really does matter, the

full—time professionalism, myself included and all the girls, we are up included and all the girls, we are up at five o'clock in the morning getting our conditioning sessions and gym sessions, then you do a full—time day's work, then travel up and down the m62 to go to training. you know, when you're playing against girls who do it day in, day out, it does tell and it is costly. then there is a double whammy of craig richards to head coach, who has come in such a journey with this group since taking over, through the pandemic, all those difficulties, and he has called it a day, that must have been very emotional. yeah, broke the news — must have been very emotional. yeah, broke the news to _ must have been very emotional. yeah, broke the news to us _ must have been very emotional. yeah, broke the news to us in _ must have been very emotional. yeah, broke the news to us in the _ must have been very emotional. ie—u broke the news to us in the changing rooms after the game. despite whether we would have gone all the way or not, that was the decision he had already made. he has transformed this england side. he had already made. he has transformed this england side.— this england side. he said that you have clearly _ this england side. he said that you have clearly narrowed _ this england side. he said that you have clearly narrowed the - this england side. he said that you have clearly narrowed the gap - this england side. he said that you have clearly narrowed the gap on | have clearly narrowed the gap on these super powers of women's rugby league, but he says it's as simple

as you girls have just got to go professional if you are going to make the next step. it professional if you are going to make the next step.— professional if you are going to make the next step. it is, that's where the _ make the next step. it is, that's where the sport _ make the next step. it is, that's where the sport needs - make the next step. it is, that's where the sport needs to - make the next step. it is, that's where the sport needs to go - make the next step. it is, that's i where the sport needs to go now. make the next step. it is, that's - where the sport needs to go now. i'm hoping what we've done, obviously we haven't quite made the final but we feel like we have built up a bit of momentum, we transformed perhaps some stereotypes, and we have actually set a platform that young girls in particular can aspire to be, have a dream and work hard at it, it's something that anyone can achieve. ., ., , ., �* ., ., achieve. from what you've done of the last few _ achieve. from what you've done of the last few weeks _ achieve. from what you've done of the last few weeks you _ achieve. from what you've done of the last few weeks you can - achieve. from what you've done of the last few weeks you can be - achieve. from what you've done of the last few weeks you can be very proud, you and three of your team—mates have made a team of the tournament. that's an achievement! it is and i'm sure i speakfor the other girls, we would trade it for a semifinal win last night collectively. so it's a bittersweet moment at the minute. it's fantastic to be recognised individually, but it's all about the girls for me, and every single one of them, they are

my team of the tournament. for cable and ou my team of the tournament. for cable and you speaking _ my team of the tournament. for cable and you speaking to _ my team of the tournament. for cable and you speaking to me _ my team of the tournament. for cable and you speaking to me after- my team of the tournament. for cable and you speaking to me after that - and you speaking to me after that defeat to new zealand, then going out is what against samoa. it is all down to the england wheelchair team now who take on france at the end of the week in the final in that brilliant rugby league world cup. in the t20 world cup, moeen ali says he hopes he can convince ben stokes to come out of one—day retirement outlet next yea r�*s 50 over world come out of one—day retirement outlet next year's 50 over world cup which will be held in india. stokes played a key role in the teen's victory over pakistan in the final on sunday. he stood down from odi cricket earlier this year because of the heavy workload required. england actually start an od! series against australia this week. nine of the players from the final will be involved in moeen ali says the schedule has been horrible. it is re schedule has been horrible. it is pretty crazy- _ schedule has been horrible. it is pretty crazy- i— schedule has been horrible. it 3 pretty crazy. i know there are a lot of people out there who would

probably say, you're playing for england and all that but it's tiring and you have to always give 100% as much as you can and sometimes it's not always that easy to do, to turn up, especially after winning the world cup, the guys will obviously be celebrating, for the last couple of days, doing what they want to do, and just chill, then you go straight into a game, the focus changes onto the three odi matches a we obviously want to try and bring that as well. rory mcilroy says greg norman is the major obstacle that's stopping golf�*s civil war being resolved. norman is the commissioner of the breakaway liv series, that has lured star players away from the established tours with huge pay cheques. mcilroy, who is in dubai for the final event of the dp world tour, has been a leading voice against the rebel series. there's a few things that i would like to see on the liv site, i think

greg has to go, he needs to exit stage left, he has made his mark but i think now is the right time to sort of say, look, you have got this thing off the ground, but no—one is going to talk unless there is an aduu going to talk unless there is an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences. hopefully something can happen, he knows. but right now, i think the two separate entities are just right now, i think the two separate entities arejust going right now, i think the two separate entities are just going to keep going both their separate ways, one is a very different product to the other and they are just going to keep going until... you know, something happens, whether that's in the hands of a court or a judge or something else happens along the way, no—one really knows. rafael nadal is facing an early exit from the atp tour finals after a straight sets defeat to felix auger—aliassime. the spaniard lost to the 22—year—old canadian for the first time, going down 6—3, 6—a. the 22—time grand slam winner has now lost four straight matches for only the second time of his career and his hopes of progressing hinge on taylor fritz

the next few weeks. for the first time in its history the fifa world cup has been moved from the usualjune and july of the northern hemisphere summer to winter. here are 3 things you need to know about the qatar world cup weather. firstly, why has it been moved? the afternoon average temperature in doha in the summer is about a0 celsius. occasionally it has been as high as 50. and it is humid. verging on oppressively so. the human body simple can't operate in those temperatures and humidity is for a length of time, let alone play football for 90 minutes. so what will the weather be like for this qatar world cup? in november and the average temperature is about 27 to 30 celsius during the afternoon. it will still feel hot because on humid days that will feel more like 30 to 35 celsius and don't be surprised if it is raining, because november and december are

typically the wettest months in doha with about 10 to 15 millimetres of rain. being in a desert, if it is windy, sandstorms are not uncommon. lastly, what will conditions be like inside the stadium is? each of the stadiums has been designed and built to be as cool as possible. they are orientated in a way that gets the most amount of shade throughout the day and they're designed so there are no hot air blowing in from above. they also have a sophisticated air conditioning system that will keep the temperature on the pitch and in the stands about 21 celsius. so despite her hot and humid it is outside, inside the stadium, it will probably be quite comfortable for players and spectators. a reminder of our top story. it is the qatar world cup, england have arrived, harry kane saying they will be going all out to go at least better than the semifinal showing at the last world cup in russia. wales due to land in doha in the next

couple of hours. from me and the rest of the team, goodbye for now. hello. the weather out there at the moment is feeling quite typically autumnal. often fairly breezy, spells of rain around at times, too. temperatures still not too low for the time of year — they'll turn a little bit colder as we look towards the end of the week into the weekend. but here is the weather front that brought all the rain on tuesday — that's clearing away towards the east, we've still got showers rotating around an area of low pressure to the northwest of the uk. so some heavy showers through the irish sea, through the english channel, too. parts of southern england, and wales in particular could see some heavy ones with the odd rumble of thunder overnight. a few into northern ireland and southwest scotland first thing, too. it could be a touch of frost through central scotland, northeast england, as well, but most of us frost—free to start wednesday. still very wet and windy for the northern isles, gusts reaching around 60mph here, also turning windy again

as this rain arrives in the southwest later on. heavy showers in the southeast should slowly clear away, and then, a fair amount of dry weather — a window of dry weather certainly compared to tuesday. it's turning a little bit cooler than it has been, with highs around 9—1a celsius. bye— bye.
