of rain, particularly quite a bit of rain, particularly across the south and it'll stay mild. the pressure chart over the next few days, low pressure to the north—west currently, further areas of low pressure, this one moving on wednesday, thursday, this one is friday's pressure, more substantial bringing heavy rainfall at times. our air source bringing heavy rainfall at times. ourairsource coming in bringing heavy rainfall at times. our air source coming in from the south—west hence the milder theme. heading through tonight, dry for a while for england and wales, then an area of rain will cushion from the south—western areas. no pressure sitting to the north—west mean scotland and northern ireland will stay blustery with frequent showers. temperatures from three to seven celsius, which is milder than we expect this time of year. for wednesday, that rain across the south—east and east anglia, that clears away the not a bad day for england and wales, just a few showers pushing into the south—west in the afternoon. northern ireland and scotland, close to low pressure, so another blustery one with sunny spells and scattered showers. temperature similar to today, around

nine to 12 celsius. more rain across southern areas on thursday. this low pressure will bring wet and windy weather to much of the country. but friday is also a day where we could see a battle of the air masses set up. cold air digging into the north, milder air to the south, and that will be a theme for the christmas period. many northern areas will turn colder into the christmas period with the risk of sleet and snow showers. it looks like some of that colder air will push south gradually, probably from boxing day onwards, as you can see from the icons and the temperatures. the run—up to christmas, things looking mild, and a chillier spell expected in the christmas period. thanks, stav. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website from the six team it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc 1, as now it's time tojoin our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are — goodnight.

world cup winners again. thousands stayed up until the early hours to wait for the squad as they returned home. and now even more have spent the day. declared as a public holiday. in the city. hours before they were due to arrive at the plaza de la republica. it was packed with some claiming more than a million people were waiting in the shadow of the obelisk. they still are mainly because after the argentinian bus left their training base. it needed a host of police just to inch it through the crowds. the team beat france in the world cup final in qatar on sunday to win the trophy for a third time. the first time in 36 years. one of those waiting in buenos aires is camilla. , , ., ., those waiting in buenos aires is camilla. ,, ., ., , ., camilla. this is camilla up from venice aris. _ camilla. this is camilla up from venice aris. we _ camilla. this is camilla up from venice aris. we are _ camilla. this is camilla up from venice aris. we are trying i camilla. this is camilla up from venice aris. we are trying to i camilla. this is camilla up from i venice aris. we are trying to find our way to the city to join the celebration of the world cup 2022.

as you can see on the side where i am the streets are pretty empty and it is obvious everyone is gathering in the city centre. getting there is a huge challenge and i am organising myself to try to get there. the highways are blocked and just getting through people is intense because there are so many people celebrating and sharing the stop being thankful of the feeling they have had. in the past two days everyone understood what happened and it is even crazier than on sunday when everyone was trying to understand what was going on. i think everyone is in the same mood. it's pretty intense. we are going to figure out how to get there but everything is blocked, it is filled up with people and reception is bad

because they are so many people. we will try our best and it's the biggest party we have had in i don't know how many years. so that is camilla is a story. these are the life pictures from venice areas. and it's a contrast from those pictures we saw a moment or two ago early on in the day but they have been waiting a long time for this bus to arrive should it arrived i told. let's speak to katie watson art south american correspondent. a strange date katie because a lot of people have had to show a lot of patience? people have had to show a lot of atience? , ., ., ,, ., ., patience? indeed, you talked about a million i patience? indeed, you talked about a million i think— patience? indeed, you talked about a million i think is _ patience? indeed, you talked about a million i think is close _ patience? indeed, you talked about a million i think is close to _ patience? indeed, you talked about a million i think is close to 5 _ million i think is close to 5 million i think is close to 5 million on the streets here in the latest counts absolutely unbelievable. everyone knew argentina wanted this to come back to the country the strength of

emotion has grown everyone everywhere. i'm here by the over this where the bus carrying the players is going to come. it is so crowded thatjesus had to diverge and find a safe place for everyone. that has meant that some people have run into another part of the city to try and see the bus go by but even going to motor weirs and larger, faster roads to get a glimpse of the megastars. it has been a pretty impressive show of support. it is probably even surprise the authorities themselves. find probably even surprise the authorities themselves. and katy it makes the point _ authorities themselves. and katy it makes the point does _ authorities themselves. and katy it makes the point does need? i authorities themselves. and katy it makes the point does need? aboutj makes the point does need? about this incredible passion running through the country as a result of their victory. through the country as a result of theirvictory. i through the country as a result of their victory. i guess none of it surprises it you because you lived there and understand. but i think for those watching around the world to see these up to as you say 5 million people with their chest pumped outs and their hearts beating. it is an extraordinary

story. and the power of football to do this for this country.— do this for this country. absolutely and i think it _ do this for this country. absolutely and i think it is _ do this for this country. absolutely and i think it is a _ do this for this country. absolutely and i think it is a the _ do this for this country. absolutely and i think it is a the pride - do this for this country. absolutely and i think it is a the pride is i and i think it is a the pride is threefold. it is first of all that they wanted the cup and they want to they wanted the cup and they want to the cup for lionel messi as they wanted. it is also come at a time where the country is struggling economically. many people facing high rates. i have heard people say this has allowed them to smile again and brought the country and the region together. people here are so happy that the cop has come back to the americas a place of some really great football. there are so many reasons for argentinians to feel so happy and so proud about what is happened. kat? happy and so proud about what is ha ened. ., , . ,, happy and so proud about what is ha ened. ., , . ~' ,, , happy and so proud about what is ha ened. ., , ., ~' , . happened. katy thank you very much indeed katy what's _ happened. katy thank you very much indeed katy what's in _ happened. katy thank you very much indeed katy what's in our _ happened. katy thank you very much indeed katy what's in our south i indeed katy what's in our south american correspondent.

so as one big international football tournament ends. time to reflect on the other one in 2022. sarina wiegman led england to the women's european championship title. and says the "whole world has changed around her" as a result. it's been an extraordinary career for the dutch manager... even though she's tasted plenty of success before. wiegman sat down with our reporter jo currie to chat about success. family life and one of her players being crowned �*queen of the jungle. .. it was the moment that england fell back in love with football. it's in! in front of 90,000 fans at wembley, the lionesses beat germany to be crowned european champions. for sarina wiegman, the woman who masterminded the victory, it was the second consecutive time she'd won the tournament, having previously done it with her home nation, the netherlands, in 2017. the impact these euros have had on england and beyond is more, it's so much more. yes, so the world around me has changed a little bit. people want a lot of things from me. but yeah, expectations are high.

yeah, things have changed a little bit, but still my focus is on myjob. when you're in england, how often do you get recognised now? a lot more, a lot more. especially around games, of course. sometimes i need a little help to get out of the crowd. and it's notjust wiegman's life that's changed. the entire squad became household names overnight. chat shows, red carpets and award dos all followed that golden moment at wembley. whilst midfielderjill scott became jungle royalty after being crowned queen of i'm a celebrity get me out of here. yeah, well, you know, jill�*sjill, and she's such an amazing personality. and i'm not surprised, no—one is surprised that she won it. we know in football management there are big highs, but there are also difficult moments as well. can you talk to me about how much pressure there is on you as the manager of an england team? you know, i like challenges and i knew that pressure was high. but when ijust keep thinking about that, i'm not doing myjob. i've been lucky enough

that we haven't lost a game. so i think also with the media, it has been, it has been ok. i know it can be really different, but if we would lose, it's not the end of the world. it's just one step. wiegman was a professional footballer herself before she trained as a pe teacher. she's also a mum to two grown—up daughters. so has this experience been the key to her often praised player management skills and the success behind the lionesses? it'sjust me. i'm not doing, i'm not playing a role, and so i hope that keeps working, but i'm proud of that. it comes naturally to me. that's england manager sarina wiegman with our reporterjo currie. now it was confirmed yesterday that arsenal forward vivianne miedema is to have surgery after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament in last weeks champions league game with lyon. miedema is just the latest wsl player to suffer from an injury to her acl, with fellow arsenal player beth mead also out with the injury.

arsenal are in zurich preparing for their final champions league group stage match tomorrow evening having already qualified i don't know with those breaks come in or where the fixtures come second to the player welfare but i am in favour of that stop i think a lot of different injuries to a lot of players even on the men's schedule is getting crazier getting crazier and crazier. so at some point, yet, if we want to protect the game and the players. there isn't a game without them. i think they need to be something, ijust don't know where or when those breaks are. more than a month since their last competitive matches. tonight some premier league teams are back in post world cup action. although not in the premier league. the efl cup fourth round takes place over the next three nights. and later at molineux a first game in charge of wolves forjulien lopetegui. they're playing gillingham from league two. until now he's only had a few friendlies to get to know his team

after being appointed last month we get to know more about this character which is important. when you see a player you only have in your mind that you don't know him but it is important to note the character. you want to see it in matches. that is why sometimes in football it it is good to start the first important step we have to know more about the answer or the character because the character always shows. they are important when they arrive in this moment. meanwhile ahead of their fourth round tie on thursday manchester city

and liverpool say they are "fully committed to dealing with unacceptable behaviours" following trouble at their recent games. after they met last month with fans groups the clubs have sent a letter to supporters asking them to report any incidents "that cause harm". the scottish premiership started and for aberdeen and ranger as their second game. for aberdeen and ranger as their second game-— for aberdeen and ranger as their second came. . , , , ., , second game. aberdeen versus rangers is one of the _ second game. aberdeen versus rangers is one of the box — second game. aberdeen versus rangers is one of the box office _ second game. aberdeen versus rangers is one of the box office fixtures - is one of the box office fixtures one that provides plenty incidents and interest. most of the interest centring around how the holes will approach this game was up aberdeen were criticised for their recent defensiveness so the manager is important of trying to keep a performance. in terms of the visitors michael beale is transit keep a winning side as he got a 31

role in traditionally. and if you when you get a green jacket was a lifetime exemption to the masters until you are a bit too old and decide not to play. as was mentioned in the statement they want a premium and it feels the best players as all the majors do. and this is one way to ensure it. you don't want to cut off your nose to spite your face as well. and removed 16 of the worlds best players. i well. and removed 16 of the worlds best maven-— best players. i suppose for those -la ers best players. i suppose for those players who _ best players. i suppose for those players who are _ best players. i suppose for those players who are into _ best players. i suppose for those players who are into minds i best players. i suppose for those players who are into minds are i players who are into minds are thinking about the jeopardy of leaving the traditional source. if they note that he can still play the majors that will not only affect any future decisions they make but also weakens the case of those against the liv tour in its first 18 months or so? the liv tour in its first 18 months orso? the liv tour in its first 18 months or so? . the liv tour in its first 18 months orso? .. the liv tour in its first 18 months or so? , ., ., or so? there is a caveat in there and it hasn't _ or so? there is a caveat in there and it hasn't be _ or so? there is a caveat in there and it hasn't be about _ or so? there is a caveat in there and it hasn't be about the i or so? there is a caveat in there and it hasn't be about the world| and it hasn't be about the world rankings the former champions of the
