and a keeper and a vet will be with them as they travel back to china. these box office bears were only ever on loan to scotland. this, a farewell we always knew was coming. lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh zoo. lorna joins us live from edinburgh zoo. as you say, they've been box office bears, so popular, people are really going to miss them. i office bears, so popular, people are really going to miss them.— really going to miss them. i think the are really going to miss them. i think they are step _ really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's _ really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's quite _ really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's quite a - really going to miss them. i think they are stop it's quite a subdued atmosphere at the zoo here today. officials think thousands of people could well come up to the enclosure here to get one last glimpse of these two giant pandas. they are quite solitary creatures, they have separate enclosures, the one behind me as yang guang's enclosure, the male panda, they've put out fresh bamboo for him and he's been out a

couple of times today. we've also seen chan tien, the female panda. a big moment for people getting this final opportunity to say goodbye to these two giant pandas. all final opportunity to say goodbye to these two giant pandas.— these two giant pandas. all right, lorna, these two giant pandas. all right, lorna. thank— these two giant pandas. all right, lorna, thank you _ these two giant pandas. all right, lorna, thank you very _ these two giant pandas. all right, lorna, thank you very much - these two giant pandas. all right, l lorna, thank you very much indeed and chris fawkes has the weather forecast. how chilly is it for those pandas in scotland? pandas in scotland 7 chilly pandas in scotland? chilly for them, chilly for us. we've got temperatures will be below freezing and snow fall affecting north—east england and eastern areas of scotland and this was cornwall just earlier this morning, with some quite thick snow on the ground. take a look at this chart. you can see how unusual it is to see lying snow on the ground in november. the vast white areas across the uk are areas where we get one day or less of snowfall on the ground in november, so it's very, very unusual, particularly across the south and as we go through the rest of the afternoon we have this area of rain skirting into the far south of england. it's continuing to fall as

snow across the hills, over cornwall and parts of devon and that's likely to continue for the next few hours bringing slippery conditions on the roads and pavements and we continue to see showers and eastern scotland, north—east england, rain and sleet towards the coast, but across inland areas, yes, we'll probably see more snow. overnight, where we've seen the showers by day, there is a risk of icy stretches on the roads and pavements overnight and as temperatures drop the showers are more likely to switch back over to snow so there could be some further localised accumulations. another really cold night, temperatures down to —6 through the central belt of scotland. in the rural areas, temperatures down to —8 or so, so a freezing cold start on the day on friday. there will be a lot of sunshine to come once we've lost any early mist and fog patches and the showers affecting eastern coastal areas, some will tend to switch back to rain or sleet as we go through the day as temperatures lift above freezing but it stays really cold particularly so across northern

england and scotland. on into the weekend, further changes in the weather. a week where the front is crossing the uk bringing the threat of some further wintry precipitation and perhaps areas that haven't seen so much over recent days, so we get the zone of showery rain pushing across northern ireland in towards parts of scotland, england and wales, probably with a mixture of a bit of rain, some localised sleet and snow particularly over hills, and snow particularly over hills, and temperatures continue to really struggle after a freezing cold start to the day. for sunday, again, a brighton most, a few mist and fog patches here and there, you will start to see milder weather pushing in from the south—west with a slow rise in temperatures. you might see a few flakes of snow on the leading edge of the weather system but a cold day, temperatures struggling to get above freezing in the north, eventually temperatures up to nine towards the south—west but really late in the day. for most, a freezing cold weekend.

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 bbc news at one o'clock with ben brown. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. onana in the spotlight, the manchester united goalkeeper makes more mistakes in their latest champions league failing. the pressure's on for sarina wiegman and england, as the lionesses get set for two crucial nations league matches. and ronnie o'sullivan and john higgins are at the table in snooker�*s uk championship. we'll bring you up to speed with how they're getting on.

welcome to sportsday. the questions around manchester united return, after they threw away a 2—0 lead, to draw 3—3 in turkey against galatasaray, leaving their hopes of reaching the champions league knockout stages in peril. united have conceded 33 goals in all competitions this season, the most in their opening 20 matches of any season since the 1962—63 season. 14 of those have been in the champions league — their most in a single group stage in the competition and the most by an english club afterfive games. we're joined now by manchester united fanjoe smith from the stretford paddock podcast. andre onana, of course, who was heralded as the saviour. he was heralded as the new man this summer, to take over from david de gea. but it's been a tumultous start for him, at fault last night. it's not really worked out for him. certainly the champions league has been a disaster, really. you look away at the premier league, and some

of the stats over there are exceptional. in the champions league, we have to face the fact that his mistakes have probably put us out of the competition. that's going to be difficult for him to reconcile with, and he seems to be a confidence player. and it's difficult for his fans to reconcile with. he is a good keeper and has good attributes,.— with. he is a good keeper and has good attributes,. when you look at the united number— good attributes,. when you look at the united number one _ good attributes,. when you look at the united number one jersey, - good attributes,. when you look at| the united number one jersey, how the united number onejersey, how coveted it has been over the years, peter schmeichel, and avid hear, is that a position that the club needs to fix first and foremost before the rest of it can work out? i do to fix first and foremost before the rest of it can work out?— rest of it can work out? i do think that we don't _ rest of it can work out? i do think that we don't have _ rest of it can work out? i do think that we don't have definitive - rest of it can work out? i do think| that we don't have definitive proof that we don't have definitive proof that it hasn't worked out with andre onana. he is a lot better than we've seenin onana. he is a lot better than we've seen in recent years, and there are certain things, you want to look at the stats and the percentages one of the stats and the percentages one of the best in the premier league. a

lot of his, you see these expected goals against compared to what the others teams have scored, and he ranks at the top of some of these lists. so there is still clearly a great keeper in there. you look at some of the mistakes he is making in champions league, these are uncharacteristically amateur mistakes. you would expect any half decent ten—year—olds at sunday league level to be stopping the one he letting yesterday. he is not defined his career as manchester united letting the ball go underneath and any time everyone has a shot. i think these are specific moments that have happened. as he softens and those nerves go away, and he grows into the role, we won't see those. but when you look at what he actually is as a goalkeeper that got him to where he is. we are still seeking a lot of that, it's just uncharacteristic mistakes. as long as they go back to being

uncharacteristic, i think we've got a very good goalkeeper there. thank ou ve a very good goalkeeper there. thank you very much _ a very good goalkeeper there. thank you very much indeed _ a very good goalkeeper there. thank you very much indeed and _ a very good goalkeeper there. thank you very much indeed and they appreciate the decorations on your backed up there as well. the european action continues tonight with six british teams playing in the europa and europa conference leagues. liverpool are amongst those in action, and have the opportunity to top their group tonight if they beat austrian side lask at anfield, and toulouse fail to beat union st gilloise. reds bossjurgen klopp is eager for his team to finish top, which means they'll enter the knockouts at the last 16 stage instead of the last 32, and he wants anfield to help the team achieve their goal. that's what i expected us to do. really go for it. i will line—up a team, i didn't hear anything else of the others injured or anything else, but i will line—up a chi team to enjoy the game and we will fight for a result. if he wants to do that as well that will be massively helpful. elsewhere, rangers host aris limassol of cyprus, knowing a win would edge them closer

to progressing to the knockout rounds. they're currently second in their group on seven points, behind leaders real betis, who are away at sparta prague before the game at ibrox. rangers go into the game on a nine—match unbeaten run in all competitions. and when people here in the building. iwant and when people here in the building. i want to create winners. and winners are for me people who always want to win, not one competition or two. they want to win everything they do. knowing if you can win that, you make a really big step because you can play in europe afterjanuary. it's an important thing for the club, for the players also, everybody likes to play in europe with all the attention, and all europe watching these games. well, before that rangers game, brighton are away at aek athens... knowing a win will see them progress into the knockouts, as is the case for west ham who will qualify if they beat

goalkeeper mary epps will wear the captain armband. this is the first time england have played at wembley since april. no trophy on the line this time round, but arguably olympic qualification is more important. cricket news to bring you now and australia's nathan lyon has signed for lancashire for the 2024 season. the spin bowler will be available for all competitions next year after completing the australian schedule of cricket. lyon is a three—time ashes winner and the fourth highest test wicket taker as a spin bowler. there's another day of snooker to come in york. as the uk championships continue. four matches to come, two of which are under way, including john higgins against zhou yuelong, and the seven—time champion ronnie o'sullivan.. o'sullivan — the world number one — in action against robert milkins. winner goes through to

alistair. one, when he became chancellor, they had reached the summit of uk politics, it was during the period of the financial crisis, and that was a time where the western financial system was being rocked to its foundations, when banks were collapsing virtually every day. the thing in the most as a chancellor in these times was to give a calm, authoritative appearance, and whatever else he was feeling behind—the—scenes, he always came across as being in charge and being calm and knowing what he was doing. that was absolutely essential to that moment of crisis. the moment when the test came, alistair passed with flying colours. you when the test came, alistair passed with flying colours.— with flying colours. you are debating — with flying colours. you are debating opposite - with flying colours. you are debating opposite him - with flying colours. you are debating opposite him in i with flying colours. you are i debating opposite him in their referendum for scottish independence campaign. referendum for scottish independence camaiun. ~ ., referendum for scottish independence camaiun.~ . referendum for scottish independence camaiun. . ., ~ campaign. what was that like? if i remember correctly, _ campaign. what was that like? if i remember correctly, the - campaign. what was that like? if i remember correctly, the bbc - campaign. what was that like? if i . remember correctly, the bbc debate, the second debate, was the most watched political programme of all time. certainly in scotland, and it

had huge audiences elsewhere. these were really intense and vigorous debates. what i can say about him, to spite the debates in the intense exchanges, i never exist changed crosswords with him outside of the debating format. outside of that debate, we actually had a conversation about where we were going to be in the next campaign, a perfectly pleasant conversation. so alistair had the ability, which really all politicians have come a really all politicians have come a real statesman have, not to confuse the arena of vigorous debates where you put forward your views as best you put forward your views as best you can, with any personal animosity. that was a real quality in politics and a very fine one. across the political spectrum, people feel it is lost today. i send my condolences to his family and friends. we my condolences to his family and friends. ~ ., my condolences to his family and friends. ~ . ., my condolences to his family and friends. ~ . . , , ., friends. we are having tributes from all of politics- _ friends. we are having tributes from all of politics. it's _
