here're the thoughts of former united manager david moyes. well, i've been there, and i know it is an unbelievable club with a lot of pressure. a lot of people want to talk about it. for me is the biggest club in the world which is talked about, whatever city you go into. it comes with the territory, and manchester united want to win, the supporters want to win, and every manager who goes into the job wants to win as well. i think he showed brilliant resilience with the situation he's in. as far as i know i don't see him ducking any questions or media interviews that you people put forward to him. i think you have to give him. i think you have to give him great credit for that. it's a job which is going to attract immense pressure, people talking... i think i have to say he's done a brilliantjob. the group stages of the women's champions league get under way later.

one of wales most high—profile headteachers, who was jailed earlier this year for 17 years for sexual crimes against children, may have abused pupils for more than a0 years. neil foden abused four pupils in north wales between 2019 and 2023, but a bbc wales investigation has heard allegations of abuse from as far back as 1979 with up to four times as many victims than previously thought. one former pupil told the programme she was messaging him up until the day of his arrest. elen wyn has the story. mr foden, i need to arrest you on suspicion of sexual touching of a child and sexual communications with a child. neil foden's final day of freedom just hours before his arrest. a former pupil says he was still sending her messages and that he'd been grooming her for five years. so this happened on the 6th of september. on the day he was arrested, it was back and forth every day in school, out of school, morning and night. any time. the woman who we're calling
11:52 am
jo grew up in care. targeted by foden, she says, when she had no—one else to turn to. he made me feel like i was special. hejust hugged me sometimesjust without reason, or his hands would go under myjumper. multiple teachers saw me on multiple occasions getting into his car alone. they'd make comments on how lucky i was to have him to drive me home. jo says she was deemed too vulnerable to testify against foden at trial. he denied any wrongdoing but convicted of sexual abuse crimes against four girls. she now understands the extent of his abuse. the police came to me. according to them, there were over 20 other people who were in similar situations as myself. we've discovered that in 2019, bangor, gwynedd, had commissioned a confidential report into the running of foden's school. the same year, concerns had been raised about his closeness to some teenage girls, but there was no formal investigation.
11:53 am
yet two years later, he was made a strategic superhead and was in charge of two schools in north wales. we've also uncovered allegations going back more than a0 years. you don't suddenly wake up in 2019 and decide to become a paedophile. i know that he was doing it in 1979 because he was doing it to me. this woman, we've changed her name to nia, says foden indecently assaulted her for two years when alone in his classroom. she didn't tell anyone at the time, but she did contact the police after his arrest. he'd come to the desk, stand behind me. usually his right arm would be rubbing up against my breast and i felt i couldn't move. i must have been 13. i was vulnerable at that age. naive. and he knew it. gwynedd, foden's now former employer, declined a request for an interview. it said an official review
11:54 am
is underway and will provide that review with all the information it needs so that lessons can be learnt. jo and nia say they haven't been contacted by anyone involved in the review. it's notjust enough to say they need to do better, they need to be forced to do better. the child practice review were unaware ofjo and nia until we contacted them, but say they would like to speak to both now. others say they are taking legal action against the council. my oldest client is in her 50s. my youngest is 14. it's notjust children, it's former staff and i the numbers are growing. jo and others remain angry, notjust with foden for what he did, but with others about what they failed to do. elen wyn, bbc news. 1a water companies in england and wales are being ordered to pay more than £158 million back
11:55 am
to customers because of poor performance, following a year which saw a record number of sewage spills. the regulator ofwat has just published its annual report. for the second year running, no firm was awarded the highest performance rating — and three were put in the lowest category. earlier i spoke to our reporter esme stallard as you said, the annual review that ofwat, the water regulator, does into all the companies and what they said is none of the companies have achieved the top rating, but they have made improvements in a small number of areas, such as water leakage. but really the biggest area of issue is around pollution, which we know has come up time and time again. they said there were significantly more pollution incidents last year and as a result of that, they are now asking the majority of these companies to refund customers on their bills next year. so that's nearly £158 million. what does that actually look like on your bill? well, it's only going to be a few pounds for most customers, so not significant.
11:56 am
and actually we are anticipating that bills are going to go up quite significantly over the next five years by nearly £100 per household. so really this final, this announcement today from ofwat won't have a significant impact for customers. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. as we go through the next couple of days, essentially we're looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers, but like today, some of those showers will be heavy and thundery with some hail and gusty winds around them. you can see them moving across england and wales while we've got rain pushing across northern england into southern scotland and northern ireland, and for the rest of scotland, it's fairly cloudy, with showery rain in the north and a cold northerly wind. top temperatures today up to 18 degrees. now, it's low pressure driving our weather and overnight it drifts a little bit further east, but we still have showers and rain rotating around it and this cold northerly wind. temperatures in the north falling away to seven to about nine degrees.
11:57 am
come further south, we're looking at ten to about 13 degrees. tomorrow, then, our low pressure continues to push towards the north sea, eventually moving into it. that opens the door to this straight northerly coming across our shores, and also still some showery outbreaks of rain in eastern areas. move out towards the west and the south, it should be drier, but it will feel colder, especially across the north of scotland, where it will feel quite raw with wintry showers on the tops of the mountains. wednesday into thursday, there goes our low pressure. this is the remnants of ex—hurricane kirk, and that will absorb our low pressure. all it will do for us, though, is produce some stronger winds at times down the north sea coastline. thursday sees a lot of dry weather coming our way. some showers across the south and the west. a few in the north—west to be replaced later by some heavier showers. but it's going to be a cold feeling day wherever you are. these are our maximum temperatures, eight to 12, 1a in the channel islands. on friday, the showers continue
11:58 am
to push across scotland more of a westerly, but it will still feel cold. and you can see as we come further south for southern scotland, england, wales and a lot of northern ireland, it will be a dry day but still a cold feel. temperatures eight to about 12 degrees. temperatures at this time of the year in the south—east, for example, should be around about 15. as we head into the weekend, we've got this ridge of high pressure across us, but it starts to weaken on sunday, opening the doors to some rain coming into the west. so we continue with the chillier feel into the weekend. drier in the south and east, but rain in the north and west.
