finger linger through the fog is likely to linger through the afternoon for some, pretty grey and gloomy. other areas to see lovely, crisp sunshine. let's look at this with a satellite picture. that paints a better picture. you can see where the fog is, northern, southern england as well. the best of the sunshine is eastern part of scotland, parts of northern ireland and down into a wales on the south—west of england. this is where we will see the best of the sunshine throughout the day. the low cloud and grey, gloomy weather, perhaps holding on through much of the day through central and eastern areas. it will remain chilly, starting chilly in all areas and will remain pretty cold where you hold onto the cloud. even where we have the sunshine, because it was such a frosty, cold start for scotland, despite the sunshine. fog becomes more extensive into central and southern eastern scotland, plenty and towards the midlands and eastern england. the chance of a few showers affecting the far south—east coast and the chance of some showers push into the very far north—west of the

uk. foremost, it is going to be dry where it is clear skies, frosty where it is clear skies, frosty where we have the cloud and the fog, and it is going to stay pretty chilly full stop tomorrow morning, there could be some issues with fog. could be pretty dense patches through the midlands and into north—east england, toward south—east scotland. through the day, it should lift into low cloud. the best of the sunshine, southern and western areas. we have this weather front encroaching into the north—west. a view showers for northern ireland in western scotland. yeah, double figure values, up to 12 degrees here, single figures elsewhere. as we move out of wednesday and thursday, this area of high pressure with a centre across the north—west of russia will start to really influence our weather. i will start to see a lot of dry weather, cooler air pushing from the south east. the weather front in the north—west will bring patchy rain to parts of scotland, more of a breeze here. for much of northern ireland, england and wales,

variable cloud, patchy mist and fog and also some sunshine around. temperatures up to 10 degrees, but chilly where we hold on to the low cloud and mist and fog. by the end of the week it will turn colder, and we start to see the area of high pressure really exerting its force, it started to bring a stronger easterly breeze. with the easterly breeze, even seedy blue colours on the colder pushing westwards. —— see these are blue colours. by the time we reach saturday and sunday, it will be colder for all areas. temperatures at this point below par for early december. we could even see a little bit of rain, patchy rain, a few showers which will have a slightly wintry element to them, particularly across the hills in the north and east. turning colder by the end of the week. back to you, clive. a reminder of our top story. england and wales are about to go head—to—head at the world cup in qatar, with captains harry kane and

gareth bale both hoping to lead their sides to glory and a place in their sides to glory and a place in the last 16. that's it, so goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are. time for some sport here on the bbc news channel. hello, i'm hugh ferris. it's a day at the end of which both wales and england will know their immediate world cup future... and it'll be decided on the same pitch tonight in qatar. the neighbours will meet at the ahmed bin ali stadium with the odds of qualifying for the lsat 16 in england's favour... but not impossible for wales. gareth southgate's side are aiming to bounce back from an underwhelming goalless draw against the usa on friday... but england remain in the driving seat in group b... a win would guarantee top spot while they would also advance if they avoid a four—goal defeat.

better than what we are showing, thatis better than what we are showing, that is the motivation we need at the minute, and itjust so happens we are playing against england. we will pick the team, we will be ready and we will go and have a go. thea:t and we will go and have a go. they will know their _ and we will go and have a go. they will know their potential last 16 opponents when they get there, the netherlands are going to win group a. the other matches, when it goes through, ecuadorare a. the other matches, when it goes through, ecuador are playing senegal. the other matches kick off at 3pm. wigan athletic have appointed former arsenal and manchester city defender kolo toure as their new manager on a three—and—a—half—year deal. toure has spent the past five years coaching under brendan rodgers at both celtic and leicester under brendan rodgers... but this is his first management role. the ivorian replaces leam richardson who was sacked by the championship club earlier this month... and his first game in charge will be the trip to millwall on 10 december. the change in environment for england's next test series will not bring a change in approach. they are

on bbc one. and usa against iran. you have to come down on one side or the other. let's get more now on the story that the uk government has axed part of its internet safety legislation — which would have forced big technology firms to remove legal but harmful material from their platforms. critics have claimed the measure was a risk to free speech. this is still a ground breaking piece of legislation and it goes a really long way towards achieving that ambition of making us one of the safest places in the world to be online. it is an incredibly complicated piece of legislation. i worked on it for two years and i was just one of a one of a number of stewards. i do have concerns about the removal of the legal but harmful. it was a key bit and always very difficult to define it. if we are really serious about tackling some of the real harms

that are out there in the online world, particularly for adults, because the protections for children are already there in this legislation, then it does feel like this is a little bit sub optimal for me. i spoke to the samaritans, who say that the vulnerability of people doesn't stop once they hit their 18th birthday. this is it, there is no comparison with the online world because algorithms send you down a rabbit hole, into a sort of an echo chamber where all you hear is your own paranoias and your own viewpoints reflected back at you, and then signposted on to more and more extreme and explicit content. if you are a young woman with an eating disorder, or potentially a young man at risk of radicalisation, you are exposed to that kind of content in a way that you wouldn't be day—to—day, hour after hour in the outside world. when you put it like that,

do feel let down that the government has taken this decision now? you have said it is clunky, but you have just described very clearly the impact of what goes on. i feel that there are now going to be protections which were really explicit in the bill which will now be up to social media platforms and other online platforms to define for themselves and to regulate for themselves. that to me is not where i wanted to end up. i really hoped the government would be able to prescribe some of what they call the priority harms and really get the platforms to tackle them more explicitly. but at the end of today, we are where we are and time is ticking. if we do not get this legislation delivered by spring next year, it will fall and we will lose all the protections that are in it. it is a great piece of legislation, but it could be better.

ian russell, the father of molly russell, who took her own life, at the inquest, the sort of material she'd been accessing was described as being material that children shouldn't ever see. one of the adults that saw it in particular said it was something he couldn't get out of his mind for a long time. the minister says that children like molly russell will be protected going forward, but her dad ian does feel extremely let down. i know you met him a number of times when you were a digital minister. i want to read you a quote from him, saying, "it's hard to understand that something that was as important as recent asjuly when the bill would have had a full reading in the commons and was included in the bill, this harmful but legal content, it is very hard to understand why something like that has suddenly changed." what has changed sincejuly? i have so much respect

for ian russell, he has turned such a tragic, dreadful experience into this campaign to try to stop others suffering the same fate. it has not changed in the sense of protections for children. if anything, they have been slightly tightened up in the latest iteration of that bill. what has changed is, i would suggest, the protections for the more vulnerable adults are not quite as robust as they would be. it almost feels like freedom of speech has been prioritised over those sort of protections. in that respect, he has got a very strong point. do you think he has been let down? if the priority is protecting children, then i think this bill is exactly as it was in the summer, if not slightly stronger. so i think in that respect, no. but, as you say, there are very many young people who are not children but are still incredibly vulnerable,

add to that some of the really nasty content that is out there because these algorithms could lead them on to more and more damaging and extreme content. do you think the arguments around freedom of speech are different when it comes to online and is that something that has not been recognised in what's gone on with the politics of this? i think freedom of speech is something that is often not waved about like a flag, as if we must preserve freedom of speech at all times. but if you look at the way the internet is at the moment, there isn't freedom of speech, because you can't go on without risking bullying, harassment, in some cases risking that kind of pile on harassment which silences people in so many cases. at the moment social media platforms have the right to ban anybody they like without repercussions. so there isn't freedom of speech at the moment.

in a perverse sort of way, more protections would actually guarantee people to have a stronger ability to express themselves. do you think that is a nuanced debate that has been had within the party in where it has landed now? i think it is part of the debate that is not fully understood, partly because this bill is so massive, it's almost like five pieces of legislation in one. very few people that have very strong opinions about it have actually taken the time to read it. do you think it could be revisited or do you think that is it? i think pretty much we are going to have to work with what we have got because time is not on our side. if this bill does not get through before april, then it will fall because it needs to be concluded within this session of parliament. it has already been carried over once, so it cannot be carried over again. if we are serious about tackling

so many of the ills of the online world, we know it is such a force for good but there is so much damage out there at the moment, if we're serious about tackling it, we need to get our skates on because time is no longer on our side. the former cultural minister who looked worked on the online harm bill until 2021. and the dedicated hotline is being set up for the public to report metropolitan police officers if they have concerns about their behaviour. it is part of the new commissioner's commitment to clean up the force after numerous scandals. here is our home affairs correspondent. the police promised

to protect the public but the metropolitan police admit it has like ten the public to many times. the murdering of sarah everard, the sharing of photographs of the murdered sisters, or of racist, sexist messages, now the metropolitan police is launching a new hotline dedicated to catching rogue officers. tote new hotline dedicated to catching rogue officers-— rogue officers. we are asking the ublic rogue officers. we are asking the -ublic to rogue officers. we are asking the public to call— rogue officers. we are asking the public to call the _ rogue officers. we are asking the public to call the hotline - rogue officers. we are asking the public to call the hotline if - rogue officers. we are asking the public to call the hotline if they i public to call the hotline if they have any information that a metropolitan police officer or member of staff who is corrupt or otherwise abusing their position of trust and power, it could be financially motivated, it could be sexually motivated, it could be based on hatred and discrimination. the hotline will be run by the charity crimestoppers, callers do not have to give their name and the information will be investigated by the anti corruption and abuse command. the police force acknowledges it is a sign of how serious the situation is. they will be people listening to that to think how on earth has it been allowed to get this bad? i how on earth has it been allowed to

£700 million to the project. it is a sign of, if you like, the confidence that the british government has in nuclear as part of our energy mix and that very, very important point that has been driven home so clearly by putin's illegal invasion of ukraine, and what it's done to energy prices. we must have a mix of energy in this country. the investment ends chinese involvement in sizewell c, but it has nothing to do with who will pay the huge cost of building it. sizewell c would be a cut—and—paste of hinkley c, currently being built in somerset. estimated cost, £26 billion. and many commentators think once inflation is taken into account, sizewell c could cost at least that. the government has said it will take a 20% equity stake in building sizewell c, so will edf. that leaves 60% of the cost to be found from institutional investors. and edf is confident they will come forward. this is a great uk inflation linked long—term asset to

have a stable income stream and it is going to do a lot of good. so we expect to make the final investment decision in 12 to 18 months. and we are very confident that we are going to raise the money and go ahead. 700 million does not get us very far, does it? all it does is it gets rid of china and it pays back edf for some of the money it has spent on this project already. they have still got a huge amount of capital and financing to secure. so the prospect of sizewell c has edged a step closer, but will it definitely be built? only if investors can be found. and we will not know that for at least another year. now, one of the most heart—warming stories to come out of the world cup is the friendship betweenjack grealish and a young manchester city fan with cerebral palsy, called finlay. it all started with a letter and ended with a goal celebration that went viral. mike bushell has been to meet finlay ahead of england's match tonight.

cheering. a hero's welcome for their now famous friend and team—mate finlay as he returned to a manchester city in the community training session for the first time since his friendship with jack grealish went viral, and blossomed to the extent that after scoring at the world cup, the england star did the celebration that finlay had himself suggested when they met here just a few weeks ago. what's it like to see everybody again now that you're famous? it's crazy, you know. all my friends are really happy for me. i'm just happy, you know. they were all doing your celebration, the finlay celebration. i know! everyone, are you ready? there we are. how's it feel to have finlay back? it feels fantastic. perfect. an emotional moment, too, for mum and dad, who were once told their son wouldn't be able to walk,

let alone play football and inspire a world cup moment. jack probably knows the struggles that they go through on a daily basis, and it's about trying to normalise, make it their normal and not make a big issue out of it. sometimes when he plays with school, they try their best to include him. but here, he's just one of the lads, plays football. he'll take ages on the football but so be it. it's all about friendship, it's great. and back home in the family football cave, a reminder of how all this started and what helped unite them in their friendship. just like finlay, jack's sister, hollie, has grown up with cerebral palsy, and he's been a great support to her in the same way finlay�*s sisters have been there for him, including sharing this moment that has had such an impact on them all. 0h, it'sjust been crazy. people have been calling me saying, "oh, i saw you on tv," and stuff. - so, yeah. oh, amazing. and just like professional

footballers, you know, you've now got even shirts being sent to you with your trademark celebration on. there we are, you've seen that. there it is, the finlay celebration. how cool is that? just too cool. and how has it been for you as his lovely sisters and supporting all of his life, and now this? oh, it's been life changing, like, we're so proud of finn. it's so, like, amazing how he's been able to take this on so quickly, so proud of him. he's grown so confident in himself. before this even happened, - icouldn't have imagined him, like, being this out of his shell. like, it's really helped him. the heart—warming story has raised awareness of the challenges faced by families learning to adapt to support their loved ones with cerebral palsy. by raising awareness, these children are included into society, and sometimes it takes that famous person to raise that awareness. jack obviously dotes on his sister as his sisters dote on finn. he annoys them sometimes and vice versa. but they've got a great, really good relationship. he wouldn't be as able as he was today if it wasn't for his sisters pushing him and, you know, giving him the hard life

to get him tojoin in with them. so without them, he just wouldn't be able to do what he can. yeah, it's great. it's just, they annoy me as well. and i'm sure jack's sister annoys jack as well. i'm sure you don't annoy him, do you? never! no comment on that. back at finlay�*s training, and ahead of england's next match against wales tonight, the crucial question was, of course, what should jack do this time if he scores? put your hands like this. jack, you know what to do now!
