visited the modern island nation was in 1986. steve lai has more. a perhaps smaller but no less enthusiastic welcome for pope francis as he arrived at singapore's vip terminal. these were the lucky few chosen to be part of the welcoming party. now, this venue is typically used for mega sporting events or for concerts for international superstars. but for this occasion, it's going to be turned into an arena where the pope can celebrate mass with over 50,000 attendees. as you can see, the stage is currently being set up. we've had choirs practising, we've had volunteers getting things in place, security guards as well, going through their routines of what they need to do to ensure everybody is safe during the celebrations. and as you can see up on the stage itself, where the pope is going to be sitting and where he'll be presiding over mass right here in singapore. jesus christ our lord. it has been almost four decades

since singapore's last papal visit. in 1986 the late popejohn paul ii spentjust five hours in the country. this time, pope francis will spend three days here as part of the last leg of a 12 day tour of the asia pacific. the significance of which has not been lost on his catholic flock. so what does it mean for the peoples of this region, not just for singapore, but for the peoples of this region? well, certainly it is a gift and a blessing. the pope has been keen to promote inter—religious harmony on this tour, and is likely to echo the same message here. steve lai, bbc news, singapore. rachael gunn has been ranked the world's number one female brea kdancer. her elevation to the top spot comes despite her controversial olympic performance for team australia — which divided the internet and left her with a score of zero. gunn, who performs as raygun, has continued to defend her

record amid questions over her qualifications. and breaking's international governing body has issued a statement explaining the way their rankings are decided. for an update on how we got here, i spoke to news reporter sam mcmanus. it was one of the viral moments of this year's olympics. it spawned memes that are still running today. a 37—year—old australian in a green and gold tracksuit doing moves that represented australia. she was at one point doing a bunny hop. she was doing a sprinkler, which i won't demonstrate for you, but feel free to google that. and since then the fame has been for her more so than the sport. and what started as harmless reaction actually became quite controversial when some australian breakers back home said that she had brought mockery on the sport, and that the focus being on her in a more of a joking sense had sort of taken away from the value and the esteem of the sport.

raygun herself has defended what she'd done, saying she was taking it seriously and a petition actually was started, 50,000 signatures calling for her to apologise. she did, but she also defended herself, saying, "look, i didn't mean to have this reaction "and i hope you now accept me." and that brings us to where we are. now, which is that she has been crowned number one in the world despite the olympics performance. yes. so despite her performance, which she got zero points for, she didn't get past the first round. she didn't score a single point for her performance. she's now world number one because the olympics and the olympic qualifiers did not count towards world rankings. the federal body, the worlds dancesport federation, said that they wanted athletes to focus on their performances and not worry about the performances they were doing for the olympics. so she's now world number one, despite that viral performance for, many would say, the wrong reasons. but the cultural moment continues and she.

i've got several friends who are planning to dress up as her for halloween. they've got their tracksuits ready. she was seen dancing with richard branson last week, so she's got supporters in some corners, but we'll have to see where it goes from here. have you got a halloween outfit too? i'm thinking of doing the same thing, of getting it together, but i'll do the moves on the halloween party. ok, now not here. a new statue to commemorate queen elizabeth the second has received a mixed reception from some visitors to antrim castle gardens. the sculpture by the belfast artist, anto brennan, was unveiled last weekend, but has recieved criticism online. one person said to have a commission that should get their eyes tested. let's go to new york on the

anniversary of an event that affected the whole world. earlier we saw scenes of donald trump and kamala harris shaking hands just after the tv debate, but today patterson politics is put aside and you can seejoe biden, mike bloomberg as well, i think,. biden, mike bloomberg as well, ithink,. jd vans biden, mike bloomberg as well, i think,. jd vans there. chuck schumer and rudy giuliani, all gathered there in new york to commemorate 9/11. we have been hearing from the families, as well, of those who lost their lives in new york. we have seen commemorations in washington at the and these commemorations will go on throughout the day. we will be going to the us to bring you very latest. the us president and vice president are due to be in washington to

today. there will continue with the commemorations, as they remember all those who lost their lives in 911, 23 years ago. the white house has said they paid tribute to all of the patriots of the 9/11 generation and remember their deployment to afghanistan, iraq and other waterstone and the mastermind of 9/11, some are bin laden and his deputy. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. it's been very wet today here in merseyside and through the cheshire plains. frequent and heavy showers have been blown in. we've got low pressure between us and scandinavia, and that's feeding in this very showery air stream, cold and gusty northwesterly winds. but you can trace the winds all the way back to the north towards the arctic circle,

which is why we've got temperatures this afternoon around 3 or 4 degrees below the average for the time of year. and in the southeast of england, it's quite a bit chillier than it was during yesterday. the winds aren't quite as strong today. there's still some strong and gusty northwesterly winds, especially where we have the showers, and there will be more showers through the afternoon and into the evening. but overnight, as the winds drop and it gets a bit colder, the showers retreat back towards windward coasts and many places will become dry and clear. and of course it's going to be cold as well. temperatures maybe a little lower than they were last night, and not farfrom freezing in scotland and north east england, but many places will start quite sunny. we've got the showers from the word go in northern scotland, northern ireland into wales, perhaps the far southwest and along north sea coasts. there will be showers developing inland during the day. probably not quite as many as today. not as heavy as today either, and the winds won't be as strong too. but those temperatures aren't changing very much just yet. 13 to 15 degrees once again.

so, we've got cold air in place. and ahead of this weather front coming in from the atlantic, high pressure will build across the uk on thursday night into friday morning, meaning the winds will be lighter, skies will be clear and temperatures will be close to freezing for many parts of the country. there is a risk of a touch of frost. and we've got a sunny start for many places on friday, but there is that weather front coming in from the atlantic that will bring in more cloud. it will bring some rain to northern ireland and western scotland. and with that cloud coming in over the cold start, temperatures aren't going to rise too high. but it will be a little less cold for england and wales. here we've got higher pressure as we head towards the weekend. this weather front will move down across the country. as it does so, it will tend to weaken. but i think on saturday for scotland and northern ireland, we've got a spell of wetter and windier weather before things improve for the second half of the weekend. but very little, if any, rain coming into england and wales.

and for all of us, the temperatures will be higher than at the moment.
