until i do all of the countries. this challenge is from january till december and i started with afghanistan and i'm going to end with zimbabwe. it's quite a hard challenge, but if i really push myself i think i can do it. time for a look at the weather, here's chris fawkes. we have seen some wet and windy weather move into day and that is a theme of the weather for much of this week. this was one of the pictures sent in around the cardigan bay area, showing large, battering waves. we have had gusts of wind around wales reaching up to 60 miles an hour and earlier today, the m 48 bridge was shut due to those strong winds. the winds are all associated with this area of low pressure. it contains the remnants of an old hurricane, hurricane lee and that is

what will be bringing the wet and windy weather. i say it is wet and windy, today the majority of the heavy rain will be across western hills. across central and eastern portions of the uk, although you could see a spot of rain just about anywhere today, it won't amount to very much. heavy rain continuing across the hills of wales, north—west england, turning wet and windy for northern ireland. the wind isn't that strong for scotland at the moment. however, this evening and overnight this band of rain pushes in and the winds will really strengthen. we talked about a blustery night, the strong south—westerly winds, notjust bringing the rain but also bringing a lot of mild air. so temperatures for many around 15, i6 celsius. tomorrow, back to the windy conditions and around the irish sea coast, i suspect we'll get wind gusts of around 60 to 70 miles an hour. strong enough to bring disruption. inland gusts of 40 to 50, may be even stronger than that

in places. a squally band of strongest winds working across western scotland, again 60 to 70 mile an hour gusts and could bring down one or two tree branches. they could be localised disruption out and about tomorrow and temperatures ranging from 18 to 21 degrees for many others. the same area of low pressure become slow moving to the north of scotland and for thursday we have a band of heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland. still with strong winds here, gale force gusts and england and wales have sunny spells and showers. some of those showers will be heavy. very similar weather expected for friday. still with strong winds piling in a number of showers and some of those showers will reach right across the country but more frequent across the north and west. temperatures coming down a bit, closer to average for this time of year, 15 to 18 celsius. saturday for most should be a drier and sunnier today but rain will

return to western areas later on. sunday is wet and windy and we might see the weather start to settle down towards the end of next week. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the hello and welcome to sportsday. 0ur our top stories. just "howe" will they get on? 20 years and more in waiting, now newcastle taste the champions league again. despite their boycott, striking spanish playersjoin up with the national team in madrid. the prize for britain's dramatic davis cup win over france — a quarterfinal tie with novak djokovic's serbia.

hello again. well come along this lunchtime. it's quite the setting for newcastle's first champions league match for more than 20 years. the grandeur of the san siro will probably have an effect on eddie howe too. he's never even been to a game in the competition before. and the newcastle boss says it'll be a proud moment when they play ac milan this evening. patrick gearey looks ahead to a big night for the toon. it's a long way from newcastle to milan. since the toon�*s lastjourney to the champions league, their world has turned many times. two relegations, various demonstrations, acrimony and now harmony. # bayern munich, lazio, roma...# a soundtrack for an adventure.

fans sing it absolutely means so much to the fans. you know, after the takeover. and certainly, with mike ashley, it's absolutely amazing. we're back in the champions league and we're doing it properly, - with a proper group — l psg, dortmund, milan. i think that's the way we should do it. - we should do it properly. i keep looking around going, "i'm here to watch newcastle play football in the champions league," and keep playing the champions league music wherever i walk. it's fantastic! newcastle's most famous champions league night came 26 years ago almost to the day. faustino asprilla's hat—trick took them to a 3—2 win over mighty barcelona — a famous victory toasted afterwards by the owner, sirjohn hall... cheering ..a local businessman. football is now a different game. newcastle are owned by the public investment fund, backed by saudi cash — which comes with ethical concerns, given saudi arabia's often—criticised human rights record. their resources are vast, but they have not funded a revolution. instead, careful, confident progress that will be tested by a difficult group,

containing the qatari—funded paris saint—germain, borussia dortmund and tonight's opponents, ac milan. as a kid, you're always watching the champions league. that's where you'd see some of the best players, some of the world's best. you know, the ronaldinhos and people like that. so, yeah, it's going to be an honour to go there, but we're not going there to spectate and be in awe of the stadium. yes, it's going to be a nice arena and we're playing against tough opposition, but we're there to compete. and we've managed to get ourselves in the competition, and why not? tonight, newcastle will be inducted back into european football's most exclusive club, at one of its most famous venues, and high in the san siro is a good place to see how far you've come. patrick gearey, bbc news. well, rob lee played for newcastle in their first ever champions league campaign. indeed, he was in the team that beat barcelona in 1997. and he says it's great for the club to be back in europe's elite club competition. it has been a long, long time since

the keegan days and the days of champions league and bobby robson. it hasjust been champions league and bobby robson. it has just been a long time coming. as you say, we have had a lot of heartache and a lot of downs. we've now got new ownership. everybody seems to be pulling in the right direction, the same direction, like we had with kevin keegan and sir john hall many, many years back. manager eddie howe is doing a fantasticjob. brought in some brilliant, brilliant players. i think the recruitment has been exceptional. and we deserved to be in there and it is going to be very, very interesting to see how we do because we are in a very, very tough group. there's also been some more sobering news from milan, with police confirming a newcastle fan has been stabbed. they say they are opening an investigation. the supporter, who has wounds to the arm and back, is expected to be released from hospital later today. newcastle have issued a statement saying they're deeply concerned and they are liaising with local authorities to understand the circumstances. "our thoughts are with the supporter and theirfamily and we hope

for a full and speedy recovery." manchester city start the defence of their first champions league title at home to red star belgrade tonight. it was the final one of the three trophies city won, with fans celebrating the historic treble in the days after their team's victory over inter milan injune, but manager pep guardiola is now ready to win another. will it be harder to defend it than it was to win it for the first time? no, easier. it was difficult to win the first one. the first one. it is something incredible for us, the first time in our history, but it'sjust one, so let's go, let's try and win the champions league. nothing has changed from before when we didn't win it to when we won it last season. the third of the three british sides playing on the competition's opening night are celtic, who face dutch champions feyenoord in rotterdam. their only other previous meeting came in the 1970 european cup final.

anything is possible. people ask, what do you want to achieve? but the spirit of this team will never be broken. you have to have that at this level, when you're a team like ourselves. you have to work very hard and very smart, and let's see where it takes us. there are also eight games in the asian champions league on tuesday, with extra attention on the competition due to the involvement of the now star—studded saudi pro league teams. al nassr are one of them and got quite the welcome in iran for their match against persepolis. these are fans of their opponents running after the team bus, in an attempt to catch a glimpse of cristiano ronaldo and teammates. al nassr will also travel to tajikistan in the group stage. some of the spain players boycotting the women's national team have reported for the squad's training camp in madrid, with more expected to attend after threats of legal action against them should

they refuse to do so. five of the world cup winners who had threatened to strike arrived at a hotel, despite previously saying they wouldn't respond to being called up by new manager montse tome over changes they want made in the spanish football federation. jenni hermoso, the player at the centre of the dispute after former rfef president luis rubiales kissed her on her lips after the world cup final, wasn't included in the squad — a decision tome said was to "protect" the player. but in a statement on social media, hermoso said: "protect me from what? and from whom? we have been searching for weeks, months, even, for protection from the federation that never came. the people who ask us to trust them are the same ones who today disclose the list of players who have asked not to be called up." well, the continuing row in spanish women's football comes as the england captain, leah williamson, addresses the united nations in new york later today. she will be speaking on the subject of challenging gender stereotypes.

the exact kind of thing that drives me to be here today. and, yes, you know, protect, but also, to facilitate and figure out how we create a future, a safe future for women and young girls to be whoever they want to be. and if they want to do sports, to do that, then, yes, they need an environment that welcomes them and is safe for them to do that. great britain have been drawn to play serbia, and novak djokovic, in the quarterfinals of the davis cup when the knockout week of the tournament takes place in malaga in november. a dramatic doubles win over france secured britain a place in the last eight and, if they win against serbia, they will have a semifinal against italy or the netherlands, as britain attempt to win the davis cup for the first time since 2015. much like week one, week two of the nfl ended with a major injury to one of the league's stars. after aaron rodgers tore his achilles last monday night, this time, cleveland browns running back nick chubb suffered

what his team are calling a "very significant knee injury". the american tv crew covering the game said they didn't show replays of the incident in the second quarter of the game against the pittsburgh steelers because of its graphic nature, and it is being reported chubb will miss the rest of the season. without him, the browns lost to divisional rivals the steelers 26—22. he's the captain, he's the leader, he's the definition of this team, of this city, of this organisation. we've got a lot of... we've got some holes to fill for him. but i thinkjerome and those guys are going to step up and take the challenge. and, you know, you've got to really bring along notjust from the running back position, but my position as a leader, as a quarterback. and just as a whole, as a team, we've got a lot of holes to fill while he's away. so, i mean, it's even tough to even speak of it. ijust want to keep praying for him

and his family, and just hopefully, we get the best outcome for him. much more on our website. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. you're watching bbc news. i'm celia hatton. the department for education has confirmed there are now 174 schools in england containing unsafe concrete known as raac. following the release of the updated schools list, shadow education secretary bridget philippson asked an urgent question in the house of commons. this is what she said. will she at last take responsibility for 13 years of failure, three weeks of chaos, and for the years stretching ahead of our children, sitting under steel girders? when will all of our children be back in their own schools and back

in their own classrooms? because, mr speaker, parents, families, staff and, above all, our children deserve answers, and they deserve better from this government and better from this secretary of state. the education secretary gillian keegan defended her department's response. as soon as we had information, we took decision in every case. when we first saw the incident in 2018, we took decision and we put out new guidance and warnings. we put out new guidance in 2021/2022. we started surveys directly in 2022. previous secretary of state starting to get more concerns about raac in our school estate. we then sent in surveyors directly, because the responsible bodies were not moving quickly enough. here, more than a fifth of all coercive control cases reported to the police since it became an offence eight years ago

involved people under the age of 25. data from police forces across england and wales suggest that the number of younger victims and perpetrators is rising, but charities claim this is not being widely recognised. rahil sheikh reports. i went to notting hill carnival for the first time, which he was really against. but, eventually, he said yes because he sort of vetted the friends that i have. and i had 120 missed calls. he was screaming, swearing. he'd call me, like, a prostitute. and i must have been cheating if i was sort of out and about with my friends. faustine was 16 at the time and this was her first relationship. he did say things like "i love you" very early on in the relationship, and also gifting, messaging all the time. she didn't immediately realise she was experiencing coercive control, but when she went to the police, she says it was dismissed. domestic abuse, at the time i reported it and even

now, is kind of seen as a middle—aged woman's problem.
