rainfall this month has been the rainfall this month has been very wet across eastern areas of the uk. more than twice the amount of the november average up in aberdeenshire. the reason for these large rainfall totals in the east is this high pressure stretching across northern europe effectively stopping low pressure moving through. looking at the atlantic we have by low pressure is set to move in following the same kind of pattern. becoming very slow moving and bringing quite a lot of rain. the low pressure today will slowly ease to a degree. the main becoming lighter and a bit patchy. cold in scotland with patches of frost. tomorrow the remains of the same area of low pressure and most of the rain across eastern areas. it continues to be

quite windy with showers across northern areas of scotland. temperatures eight, 10 degrees for many but not feeling quite as chilly as today on account of the wind not been quite as strong. but when state we have another batch of brain and the wind strengthening behind this feature with showers packing into the west, some heavy with some thunder mixed in. temperatures similar at thunder mixed in. temperatures similarataround thunder mixed in. temperatures similar at around seven, ten, 12 degrees further south of england and wales. no change in the overall weather pattern for quite some time yet, unsettled with further rain and staying windy. turning a bit milder as we head into the weekend and early part of next week but staying pretty wet. and that's bbc news at six on monday, 21st november. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time tojoin our colleagues across the nations and regions for

the news where you are. goodnight. hello. here is what is coming up for you on sportsday this evening... england score is six and their world cup opener. england score six in their world cup opener but gareth southgate says their plenty of room for improvement. it's now over to wales, the long world cup wait is almost over they kick off against the usa in the next half an hour. it is surreal when you see brazilian fans and at the big countries that, wales are on the same team, but we are ready now. but the welsh and six other european nations have had to back down from displaying the 0ne—love symbol, their captain's threatened with bookings unless they wear fifa approved armbands. also coming up in the programme... rangers will spend the world cup break looking for a new manager,

they've sacked giovanni van bronkhorst. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm olly foster. welcome along, from here on in, the world cup really gathers pace, and england have hit the ground running. perhaps, quite predictably, their opening win also had a number of off—field issues , the one—love armand climb—down and some ticketing problems as well, we'll get to those in a moment but first lets look at some of those goals. gareth southgate opted for four at the back withjude bellingham one of the anchors in a three man midfield. we will get to that in just a moment. first, let's look at some of those goals. gareth southgate opted for four at the back withjude bellingham one of the anchors in a three man midfield. the 19—year—old headed england's

first, becoming their youngest scorer a world cup since 18—year—old michael owen at france 98. bukayo saka had a brilliant game, prefeered to phil foden in the front three, this was his first and it was three by half—time, captain hary kane, with the perfect pass for raheem sterling. saka made it four, 15 minutes int the second half. iran rarely threatened, so this came as ashock. mehdi tremi with a really well worked goalfrom iran. that didn't really slow england down, marcus rashford, scored within seconds of coming off the bench and another substitue, jack grealish, made it 6—1, the celebration was a promise he made to a young england fan with cerebral palsy a couple of weeks ago,

that would ave equalled their record win at a world cup, but a late penalty from taremi scuppered that 6—2, still a very solid start let's head live to doha and speak to our england i say solid, but let's start with that celebration. that was a lovely touch to cap a really good england performance. it really good england performance. it really was. jack gray this coming on as a substitute and scoring in the sixth goal, but that's not the story, is at? it's about to celebration. recently he met a young boy called finley who has cerebral palsy, and that something that is close to jack's heart, as his sister has the same condition. and he promised that when he scored next, he would do a celebration, and he came on and hejust he would do a celebration, and he came on and he just did that. he would do a celebration, and he came on and hejust did that. i spoke to him after the match about how heavy he was to fulfil that

promise. obviously i met young family before. but i haven't forgot. got on really well with— but i haven't forgot. got on really well with ten, having cerebral palsy like my— well with ten, having cerebral palsy like my little sister as well, so he asked _ like my little sister as well, so he asked me — like my little sister as well, so he asked me to do a celebration for him and likely— asked me to do a celebration for him and likely for him it, at the world cup _ and likely for him it, at the world cup white — and likely for him it, at the world cup. white mixing you do that on the biggest _ cup. white mixing you do that on the biggest stage. that's what it's all about _ biggest stage. that's what it's all about for— biggest stage. that's what it's all about. for me, it's doing a celebration, but for him to me you know, _ celebration, but for him to me you know. that — celebration, but for him to me you know, that will mean the world to him, _ know, that will mean the world to him. i'm — know, that will mean the world to him, i'm sure. especially doing it at the _ him, i'm sure. especially doing it at the world cup. so finley, that one is— at the world cup. so finley, that one is for— at the world cup. so finley, that one is for you. a at the world cup. 50 finley, that one is for yon-— at the world cup. 50 finley, that one is for you. at the world cup. 50 finley, that one is for ou. �* ., , ., �* one is for you. a lovely moment. and remember. — one is for you. a lovely moment. and remember, he made _ one is for you. a lovely moment. and remember, he made that _ one is for you. a lovely moment. and remember, he made that promise. i one is for you. a lovely moment. and i remember, he made that promise. the game as a whole, i was quite struck by the fairly muted celebrations at full—time. by the fairly muted celebrations at full-time. a, , by the fairly muted celebrations at full-time. n, , , full-time. may be muted, but when there is such _ full-time. may be muted, but when there is such a _ full-time. may be muted, but when there is such a big _

very distressed.— very distressed. we hope they got an in the very distressed. we hope they got any in the end _ very distressed. we hope they got any in the end and _ very distressed. we hope they got any in the end and saw— very distressed. we hope they got any in the end and saw most - very distressed. we hope they got any in the end and saw most of. very distressed. we hope they got. any in the end and saw most of those goals. alex, a few other undercurrents in this match, iran, a lot of focus on them, alex has disappeared again, there, he is back. a lot of focus on iran, the protests back home in their country and whether they would show any kind of solidarity with those very bloodied protests that are going on. england, one of the nations caught up england, one of the nations caught up in this one love armband row with fee for the kind of forcing them to wear their own version. cliff fee for the kind of forcing them to wear their own version.— wear their own version. off the itch, wear their own version. off the pitch. the _ wear their own version. off the pitch. the topic _ wear their own version. off the pitch, the topic has _ wear their own version. off the pitch, the topic has been - wear their own version. off the pitch, the topic has been much j pitch, the topic has been much debated, having taken ever since the tournament has been here in qatar. yesterday, the iranian captain spoke about how the players wear with the people of iran, and they were fans here who are helping the team would show some sort of gesture of support and they did just that, not singing the national anthem, which was a pretty powerful image, with some

fans in tears inside. and then you come onto the one love armband, england were due to wear the armband with other european nations coming into this, the messaging campaign of inclusion and against discrimination, but fifa mack said this week and launch their own armband saying that nations who would wear the one love armband would wear the one love armband would not be allowed to wear it in this tournament and could face sanctions. england international paid hundreds of times, she worked inside the stadium, but it is a much debated topic and when that is going to be rambling on as this competition continues. displaying that one love _ competition continues. displaying that one love armband _ competition continues. displaying that one love armband that - competition continues. displaying that one love armband that harry| that one love armband that harry kane was expected to be wearing. alex, go find yourself a tally, because we are 20 minutes away or so from wales's first match at the world cup since the 50s. they are of course in england's

group and first up for them is the usa, this 5 the 11 that rob page has gone with, wayne hennessey in goal, a back three of rodon mepham and ben davies. neco williams and conor roberts out wide. ampadou and ramsay in midfielder with harry wilson. no kiefer moore up front. gareth bale and danjames hywel griffith sent us this from the ahmad bin ali stadium. well, after decades of disappointments, so many near mrs. wales are notjust a matter of minutes away from kicking off their first world cup in 64 years. we've heard from the players through the week how they find this as well. all a bit surreal, despite permanent experience, this is a different stage. after the last 24 hours, the fans have been arriving. many have had to consider whether for ethical

or expensive reasons they could really come to qatar, but some 3000 fans filling up the stadium now and their levels of expectation are through the roof above me. earlier on today can make caught up with a few and ask them what it meant for them to be here tonight. it’s a them to be here tonight. it's a mixture of— them to be here tonight. it's a mixture of emotions. - them to be here tonight. it's a mixture of emotions. it's - mixture of emotions. it's incredible. it's been a dream of ntine— incredible. it's been a dream of mine to— incredible. it's been a dream of mine to my— incredible. it's been a dream of mine to my welsh football has been in my— mine to my welsh football has been in my heart— mine to my welsh football has been in my heart since i was seven years old. �* , , , old. all the red shirts everywhere and everyone _ old. all the red shirts everywhere and everyone is _ old. all the red shirts everywhere and everyone isjust _ old. all the red shirts everywhere and everyone isjust having - old. all the red shirts everywhere and everyone isjust having such l old. all the red shirts everywhere i and everyone isjust having such an exciting _ and everyone isjust having such an exciting day — and everyone isjust having such an exciting day it's _ and everyone isjust having such an exciting day. it's amazing. - and everyone isjust having such an exciting day. it's amazing. it- and everyone isjust having such an exciting day. it's amazing.

us talking about a physical aggressive game. they will want to be untapped, particularly in the first ten minutes, sir robert page will need for his team to be calm, collected, execute the game plan and obviously in for a victory because after england's victory against iran tonight, whoever comes away from this win will be in a very strong position to make it out of the group stop but that certainly would be. lively in doha with the welsh fans who have got a golden ticket, what about the supporters back home, os cardiff)tomos morgon is in cardiff, tomos, everyone geting in the spirit there, i'd imagine. a very different experience. you find yourself a huge hostel there by the looks of it. it is going to be a pretty lively in cardiff tonight as well. �* , . .. well. it's deafening in here. i can barely hear— well. it's deafening in here. i can barely hear myself— well. it's deafening in here. i can barely hear myself to _ well. it's deafening in here. i can barely hear myself to think, - well. it's deafening in here. i can barely hear myself to think, to i well. it's deafening in here. i can| barely hear myself to think, to be honest with you. why not? why can't

spirits be high? it's been 64 years since wales were last in a world cup, as hejust set. let's have qualified for the last 2 euros, this is the thing that has eluded us for so long, really. and now that we have got a golden generation, we have got a golden generation, we have got to make the most effective. it got to make the most of this opportunity and that is why we have fans coming up in their droves and bucket hats as well, so synonymous now with whales fans across the country, people walking... watching in new york, ottawa, whales and pubs and taverns they will be absolutely rammed to the rafters tonight. two people here with opposing views about how the game will go. james, tell me, from your point of view as a welsh fan that has followed whales throughout the last two or three, four, five, six he is going up. what has today meant to you? this is different, isn't it? to has today meant to you? this is different, isn't it?— different, isn't it? to be represented _ different, isn't it? to be represented on - different, isn't it? to be represented on such - different, isn't it? to be represented on such a l different, isn't it? to be - represented on such a world different, isn't it? to be _ represented on such a world stage is absolutely— represented on such a world stage is absolutely amazing, and to be the

thomas, james, thank you very much, it will be quite an affair tonight. if the atmosphere gets even more rowdy, i'm not even sure i'll be able to watch the game. it's going to be so loud. i think everyone here is looking forward to kick off in 15 minutes' time.— is looking forward to kick off in 15 minutes' time. ., , . . minutes' time. you will be watching. he can't miss _ minutes' time. you will be watching. he can't miss history. _ minutes' time. you will be watching. he can't miss history. should - minutes' time. you will be watching. he can't miss history. should be - he can't miss history. should be quite a night whether you are in cardiff or qatar. that is the flavour from cardiff where all the pubs and bars will be absolutely rammed. it's lively at the best of times, cardiff. back to qatar now. the farmer whales captain, working for our colleagues on bbc sport. i started by asking williams in the last half hour or so about that tag line team news from whales. yeah, very surprised _ line team news from whales. yeah, very surprised that _ they didn't start tonight. i expected them to start, but i think

rob page has had this game earmarked for a while and what he was going to do depending onjoe allen. i think that's changed at a little better. i think we will see him more sometime tonight it must be a huge sense of pride tonight it must be a huge sense of ride , ., , tonight it must be a huge sense of ride , . , ., . pride nerves as well. the long wait almost over _ pride nerves as well. the long wait almost over a. _ pride nerves as well. the long wait almost over a. yeah, _ pride nerves as well. the long wait almost over a. yeah, definitely. i almost over a. yeah, definitely. such a huge _ almost over a. yeah, definitely. such a huge moment _ almost over a. yeah, definitely. such a huge moment for - almost over a. yeah, definitely. such a huge moment for the - almost over a. yeah, definitely. - such a huge moment for the country. everyone is so proud of what the boys have achieved just to get here, now in the stadium, the atmosphere is building. speaking to everyone back home and back and whales they are just so back home and back and whales they arejust so proud, excited, a little bit of nerves kicking and after we watched the england's game earlier. the boys will go out and do what they've got to do, but for the fans, it is a massive moment. late they've got to do, but for the fans, it is a massive moment.— they've got to do, but for the fans, it is a massive moment. we will get to the england _ it is a massive moment. we will get to the england game _ it is a massive moment. we will get to the england game and _ it is a massive moment. we will get to the england game and - a - mam 111mm moment. now that that group result is in, england hitting the ground running, whatever is resting on that final group match between wales and

england, who knows what will be resting on it, but does that put a little extra on whales knowing that they've got to get something out of this game, perhaps and also against iran? ~ ~ ., ., iran? well, i think it works in two wa s, iran? well, i think it works in two ways. really- _ iran? well, i think it works in two ways. really- it— iran? well, i think it works in two ways, really. it shows _ iran? well, i think it works in two ways, really. it shows wales - iran? well, i think it works in two ways, really. it shows wales and | ways, really. it shows wales and england are really at its, and that is going to be a tough game for them. on the other hand, it shows that they are there, you can get at them, it will give their wales players watching that game confidence that they can win because they are where a little bit of an unknown. we see snippets here and there. i think the welsh can be confident, but ultimately deal with the game in hand. this is going to be a really tough game tonight. you've got a usa side that is full of hunger. youthful, good legs. gives the team a real test. what of hunger. youthful, good legs. gives the team a real test. what do ou make gives the team a real test. what do you make of — gives the team a real test. what do you make of england's _ gives the team a real test. what do you make of england's opener? - gives the team a real test. what do you make of england's opener? atl you make of england's opener? at south gate very pointedly planing at the negatives afterwards. i

european nations have been kind of railroaded into wearing a fee for approved armbands for fear of those captains getting booked. it's all a little bit unseemly, is intense? yeah, i think that from a players point of view, they have just got to do what they've got to do to not get a sanction or a booking within the game, frank and i think they would've accepted that, but they've changed the rule. the players have got to go without. it's unfortunate, really, and it's a bit of a shame. they wanted to make a stand and they are not allowed _ they wanted to make a stand and they are not allowed to _ they wanted to make a stand and they are not allowed to do _ they wanted to make a stand and they are not allowed to do that _ they wanted to make a stand and they are not allowed to do that now. - are not allowed to do that now. the thin is are not allowed to do that now. the thing is with — are not allowed to do that now. tue: thing is with the players, are not allowed to do that now. ti9: thing is with the players, of course, is their priority is to come here and play football, when football matches for their country. they might have different views, they might share the same deal, but their priority is football. so they can't risk getting bookings and makes possibly one of the biggest games of their lives. so unfortunately, you are right, they have been railroaded, they have been

given no choice.— given no choice. gentlemen, thank ou so given no choice. gentlemen, thank you so much _ given no choice. gentlemen, thank you so much for— given no choice. gentlemen, thank you so much forjoining _ given no choice. gentlemen, thank you so much forjoining us. - given no choice. gentlemen, thank you so much forjoining us. enjoy i you so much forjoining us. enjoy the match. we'll have the view from one of the lgbt communities here in the uk in a moment and also action from the netherlands/senegal game but let's briefly move away from the world cup. manchester united's mason greenwood, wearing the black hooded jacket, is due to face trial in november next year over allegations of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour. he was rebailed at manchester crown court this morning ahead of a pre—trial hearing next february. pakistan star bowler shaheen shah afridi will miss next month's test series against england. he was already a doubt after injuring his knee in the t20 world cup final but has now undergone appendix surgery so is definitely out. and fallon sherrock has been awarded a place at the pdc world darts championship. she was the first woman to win matches at the event three years

ago, and the pdc has created an extra spot for the women's world matchplay winner. after ecuador�*s win over qatar yesterday, we've now seen the other two teams in group a this afternoon. netherlands left it very late in their 2—0 win over senegal. drew savage reports. senegal the hopes of the nation, and as african champions, perhaps of the nation, and as african champions, perhaps a whole continent, but missing their injured talisman, the dutch playing their first world cup since 2014 looked keen to make up for lost time. creating more than once, they struggle to finish what they'd started. at the other end, found several million pounds of liverpool defender blocking senegal�*s route to goal. clear cut chances were hard to come by, van dijk at the first of the second half, his manager hoped for better. it took a long time to arrive. 84th
