this is hurricane milton, on its weakening phase, and the winds are not going to come down much. land full around the sarasota area by 7pm our time, and full around the sarasota area by 7pm ourtime, and we full around the sarasota area by 7pm our time, and we are talking about gusts of about 155 mph, bringing catastrophic damage. i am six foot three, imagine a storm surge over twice my height. the wall of water will cause coastal inundation so severe damage on the way to florida. in the uk, there has been quite a lot of cloud today, some patches of brain working their way south as northerly wind work in, bringing quite a drop in temperatures. overnight in scotland, cold enough for a nip of frost temperatures down to —1. for northern ireland, england and wales, six to ten. tomorrow, still the threat of some cloud and rain to clear away but then the

sunshine will come out, a few showers around coastal areas and, after the chilly start, temperatures quite a bit lower than we've been used to, but much closer to average for the time of year. the average for the time of year. the average for london is 13 and we will be at 12. the breeze making it feel more chilly. the cold air still with us on friday, with a few patches of frost on england and wales, something a bit more mild and wet coming to scotland, a weak area of low pressure ring outbreaks of rain, some of which could fringe into northern ireland later. four includes wales, a lot dry weather and sunshine. temperatures around ten to 13. for the weekend, low pressure firmly in charge and, for the north and west, saturday will be particularly wet, with something a bit brighter to come along on sunday. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now, it's time to join

our colleagues for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. the shot that did it — joe root is england's all—time leading run—scorer after nearing a double century in the first test against pakistan. walk on by. line judges at wimbledon will be a thing of the past, as the all england club updates to electronic line calling from next year. and given new wings — former liverpool manager jurgen klopp is the new global head of soccer at red bull. hello and welcome to the programme.

it is an incredible achievement and he says there's more to come. joe root is now the leading english test run score of all time. it is his total test figure that has made headlines. he has surpassed alastair cook to become england's leading run—scorer in test cricket. what a journey it's been to this point. root made his debut for england back in 2012, scoring 73 in india. just over a year later, he passed 1,000 test runs on his way to a double hundred against sri lanka at lord's. in 2022, against new zealand, also at lord's, he became one ofjust14 players to pass 10,000 test runs. an england record 34th test hundred came this summer, surpassing the previous best of sir alastair cook. and finally, today, he stands

alone as england's most prolific test batter, ending day three in multan on 12,578 runs. at 33 years old, root is now fifth on the all—time run—scorers list, 3,348 behind indian legend sachin tendulkar at the top of the pile. so, after passing that english record with that impressive knock, how was he feeling? tired. it's been a long day. yeah, obviously proud, but still feel there's plenty more left to do. and many more rents to get. i am sure i will look back at it is somewhat when i'm finished, but i think more than anything, the way we played today as a team is what stands out. everyone played exactly how we wanted to. we got ourselves

backin how we wanted to. we got ourselves back in a winning position. clearly exhausted joe root there. earlier, i spoke to former england bowler steven finn, who bowled against root for many years. i began by asking him what his first impression was of him when he bowled against him. i first encountered him ifirst encountered him in i first encountered him in 2012 on a tour we had to india, his first one. i had been in the team a couple years or so, i had been in the team a couple years orso, and i had been in the team a couple years or so, and pulling at him in the next, you just got a sense he was a bit special in a bit different to the other young players that you were exposed to at the environment. it proved correct. he has had that longevity for its been a brilliant career, and as we mentioned, he is not done yet. career, and as we mentioned, he is not done yet-— not done yet. some people feel no other english _ not done yet. some people feel no other english person _ not done yet. some people feel no other english person will _ not done yet. some people feel no other english person will be - not done yet. some people feel no other english person will be joe . other english person will bejoe root cause neck record. not as much cricket is going to be played. do you agree with that —— will be to joe root�*s record. you agree with that -- will be to joe root's record.—

joe root's record. idea. england will play-test. — joe root's record. idea. england will play-test, we _ joe root's record. idea. england will play-test, we play - joe root's record. idea. england will play-test, we play the - joe root's record. idea. england will play-test, we play the mostj will play—test, we play the most test out of any country in the world, because of the future taurus programme into the future, i think england will continue to play chess matches, but, yeah, with the prevalence of t20 cricket now in that drawing some players towards that, i think people will struggle to play as many games asjoe root has done now over the course of a long career. so, yeah, ithink has done now over the course of a long career. so, yeah, i think his record, wherever he settles of, will be pretty safe. it has been a special day in the ruut family. billy root, the glamorgan batter, got married today — congratulations to him and his wife lucy. his dad, matt root, was obviously very proud of his son. he gave credit to some of the elite cricketers who had helped inspire joe to get to this place in his career. obviously it means a lot to be england's highest ever test run scorer. but for him, he's not really a milestone sort of a player. hejust bats. the first objective always will be

to try and win the game and score as many runs as possible to try and facilitate that. he has always been surrounded by really good role models. michael vaughan played our love. alastair cook was an inspiration to him. can i say... how emotional he was when he got past the record, so, yeah, he has been around the right type of people. ben stokes is another example of the sort of player they really wants to win the game. i mean, if he stays fit, there's no reason he couldn't even beat tendulkar. because i think his love for the game is such that the motivation will be there, but it's whether or not... you know, he's 3a in december, which isn't really old for a batsman, but who knows? you know, if he can stay fit, there's no reason he couldn't go on to beat tendulkar. proud dad there. to the women's game now. england and scotland women are playing each other this weekend

in the t20 world cup in the united arab emirates. anya shrubsole is chair of the mcc�*s women's players and fixtures sub—committee. i spoke to her earlier and began by asking what her objectives were for the progression of the women's game. jacobite and there's always room to grow. a huge mena progress has been made, within the mcc and the wider gamma frigate —— yeah, i think there's always room to grow. there's been a huge mena progress and interleague sighting to see. one of the main things i want to have hopefully have an impact on his increasing the playing membership of females at the mcc, getting more women wanting to play, getting them involved. we've got an ever—increasing fixture list and it's an amazing cricket community to be a part of, so that's one of the things i really want to see grow, vertically within the mcc. there's alwa s vertically within the mcc. there's always inspiration _ vertically within the mcc. there's always inspiration from _ vertically within the mcc. there's always inspiration from watching | vertically within the mcc. there's i always inspiration from watching the elite level. but i'm aware that you

scotland in the time i was playing for england, so it will be the first game for a number of years, and for england, so it will be the first game fora number of years, and i'm sure the scottish girls will be really up for it, and desperate to get one over england and england of their gonna have to play well if they want to beat them.- their gonna have to play well if they want to beat them. have to avoid a potential— they want to beat them. have to avoid a potential banana - they want to beat them. have to avoid a potential banana skin, i l avoid a potential banana skin, i would imagine. england looking likely to finish top of their group, but australian looking likely to finish top of their group. inevitably they will meet at some point. how do you feeling then will do against them? the point. how do you feeling then will do against them?— point. how do you feeling then will do against them? the ashes about 18 months a . o do against them? the ashes about 18 months ago will _ do against them? the ashes about 18 months ago will give _ do against them? the ashes about 18 months ago will give in _ do against them? the ashes about 18 months ago will give in many - do against them? the ashes about 18 months ago will give in many huge i months ago will give in many huge amount of confidence. obviously ended up being a draw, but they won both 001 ended up being a draw, but they won both odi and t20 legs of that series, so i think that will give them a huge amount of confidence, they know if they play really well and, surely under some pressure, that they can beat them. anya shrubsole there. —— put australia under some pressure. some tennis controversy now — line judges will no longer

be used at wimbledon. instead, the all england club is to adopt electronic line calling from next year. this decision has been forced upon wimbledon by the atp — they say it's in the interests of greater accuracy and consistency. there have also been changes to the start times to the singles and doubles finals — bringing them in line with outher tournaments — but it's ruffled a few of the purists' feathers, as patrick gearey reports. they have long been tennis�*s border patrol. to be a linejudge, you knew sharp eyes, thick skin and sometimes fast reflexes. but at wynnewood and from now on, they are out. the autoimmune club confirmed today they have been moving to electronic line calling. they said, having reviewed the results of the testing undertaken at the... you cannot be serious! that paul was on the linux neck in or out has long

been tennis�*s post enduring discussion point. wimbledon first use technology to help in 1980 when they introduce the cyclops system. in 2007, hawk—eye was brought in, allowing place to question line calls and have them reviewed. it did not completely stop the arguments or replace the human element, but around the world the job of linejudging was becoming increasingly automated. and so the eyes of the courtside will no longer be needed. , , ., be needed. there is little bit of sadness, be needed. there is little bit of sadness. of _ be needed. there is little bit of sadness, of course, _ be needed. there is little bit of sadness, of course, yes, i be needed. there is little bit of sadness, of course, yes, it i be needed. there is little bit of sadness, of course, yes, it is i be needed. there is little bit of i sadness, of course, yes, it is the end of a tradition at wimbledon, but it's him that we had anticipated. obviously we've been watching the developments in major tennis events around the world. two of the grand slam tournaments already use electronic line calling, a number of major other tennis tournaments, including the hp tournament, use electronic line calling, so i think it was inevitable it was going to happen stop whatever you look in elite sport, there are replays being watched and angles being

paraphrase, his sand castles, ruining his legacy. some people have said he has reframed to he is in relation to the club, in terms of what he means to people. it's difficult. it's still clearly very raw, and i suppose alsojurgen klopp, permit german perspective, if you were to sit through an average bundesliga match say on television, he would not be able to avoid them on tv in advertising breaks. he's endorsing financial mentoring companies and personal fitness regimes and equipment and beers and so klopp is this transcendent personality who everybody has a little bit of grasp on the everybody feels is the acceptable face of football, whereas leipzig are very much the dark heart, and that goes to the red bull network as a whole. with all of that in mind, seb, there is reportedly a clause in klopp plasma contract where if the german nationaljob or to become available, that he would be able to apply for

it. would that be possible, then, with all of this betrayal you're telling us about?— with all of this betrayal you're telling us about? what is worse for member rings _ telling us about? what is worse for member rings two _ telling us about? what is worse for member rings two years _ telling us about? what is worse for member rings two years down i telling us about? what is worse for member rings two years down the | member rings two years down the line. there is next to no chance at all thatjulian naglesmann vacates all that julian naglesmann vacates that all thatjulian naglesmann vacates that position before 2026, when his current contract runs out, which would be after the next world cup, so we'll see where klopp is in the public conscience, and also i think this goes back to what he's actually going to be doing as part of this new role, how involved is he? how relevant is he going to be in the rb news cycles? how prominent a figure is he going to be within club business? these things are yet to be revealed, and you wonder because this is a double edge sword. klopp and his type of celebrity allows them to be transcendent, appeal to people have very little interest in football day today, so does that mean for instance that because those people don't have any issue with red bull or if they don't follow the

game in a way which allows them to have that same animus to a season—ticket holding regular match going fan would, does that mean it is kind of irrelevant? these things will have to be seen in time. seb stafford—bloor speaking to me a little earlier. there was a 3—2 win for chelsea women in the champions league last night against real madrid, while celtic women's first ever european group match ended in defeat to fc twente. two english teams are playing tonight — manchester city host the defending champions barcelona, while arsenal women are in germany, currently playing bayern munich. our women's sports reporter jo currie has been watching and joins us now. jo, jo, already a couple of goals in the first have? it jo, already a couple of goals in the first have? ., , jo, already a couple of goals in the first have? . , ., jo, already a couple of goals in the first have?— first have? it had big or go so well for the gunners _ first have? it had big or go so well for the gunners in _ first have? it had big or go so well for the gunners in germany. i first have? it had big or go so well for the gunners in germany. they| for the gunners in germany. they had taken the lead midway through the first half, a lovely cross from katie mccabe, the spaniard, unmarked in the box, calmly volleys at home, butjust before the half—time whistle went the germans hit back. georgia stanway with a fluted ball

in that was met, a looping header over the top of the arsenal goalkeeper. so, at half—time, it is 1-1. a bit of goalkeeper. so, at half—time, it is 1—1. a bit of team news, alessia russo on the bench for arsenal. arsenal are currently in a huge run of games at the moment. tonight is their second of five matches in two weeks. they play chelsea at the emirates on saturday. they could do with a good result tonight for a bit of momentum. hat with a good result tonight for a bit of momentum.— with a good result tonight for a bit of momentum. ., , , ._ of momentum. not 'ust them playing toniuht, of momentum. not 'ust them playing tonight. though. — of momentum. notjust them playing tonight. though. city _ of momentum. notjust them playing tonight, though, city picking - of momentum. notjust them playing tonight, though, city picking on i tonight, though, city picking on barcelona shortly. how tough is that going to be?— going to be? manchester city have not tla ed going to be? manchester city have not played in _ going to be? manchester city have not played in the _ going to be? manchester city have not played in the champion - going to be? manchester city have not played in the champion of- going to be? manchester city have not played in the champion of the| not played in the champion of the group stages for three and a half years, so the fact aeroplane the defending champions on their return is the hardest return they could've asked for. barcelona have played in five of the last six champions league finals and they've won three of them. they have a plethora of world cup stars, including the current fifa world player of the year and ballon d'or winter. anyone

with a ticket to desoto stadium in phratry. the captain said they are notjust the best team in europe, the best in the road, so they are looking to test themselves and put on a marker —— in themselves and put on a marker —— in the sold—out stadium in for a treat. jo currie, thank you for that. lee carsley is aiming to make it three from three under his tenure — england host greece at wembley tomorrow in the nations league. meanwhile, scotland are away to croatia on saturday. the squad is somewhat depleted with 12 injuries altogether. ben doak made his debut in the loss to poland last month and is included in this camp. at 18, he's the youngest member of the squad but insists he doesn't let the noise around that bother him any more. when i first started making appearances, i fell into that, started putting mostly a lot of pressure on myself, because of what other people were saying.

but that doesn't help you, it doesn't help your team, so it's easier to just close your mind off to it and not look and just relax, just take it easy and go enjoy your football. good idea! wales will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to their campaign when they travel to reykjavik to face iceland on friday. they will top group b if they win and if turkey drop points at home to montenegro. there are more than a0 places between iceland and wales, but defenderjoe rodon insists they're not taking the game lightly. it's never straightforward, and us as a country, we never think that, we are always the underdogs, so we will take each came as it comes and we will prepare exactly the same way as we do before every game. so it's going to be a really difficult game. they are going to be very physical. so all we can do is prepare right and put on a performance to be proud of. do you remember this image?

two weeks ago, the pitch at afc wimbledon was heavily damaged after severe flooding in the area. well, after a great deal of work, it will reopen this weekend to host wimbledon's match against carlisle. however, a campaign group says they were previously warned this would happen and that it could do again. harry low has more on the story. a wet, wet wimbledon. last month, staff pumped more than 100,000 litres of water from plough lane as the area saw nearly three times the monthly rainfall for september injust nine hours. it was unprecedented. the recent floods, we've had a lot of water in a short space of time. the glc safety team found what it described as the worst conditions yet. the old wimbledon stadium — on the same site — was knocked down in 2018, but used to host greyhound racing and speedway. historically, it flooded in the �*50s. it flooded in �*68.

the area has been known to flood in, and that stadium, the old stadium, has been under water many times. we've got a photo of the then promoter ronnie green pulling cyril o'brien aloft a boat on his bike through the knee high water and various other staff wading through collecting low level items. the museum has been forced to close too. butjohn's certain they will bounce back. very sad indeed. you know, afc wimbledon does such a lot for the community, and dons local action group, so there's been a lot of work put into the stadium and by no means... you know, we get up and and fight stronger. afc wimbledon described the flood as immensely difficult, but staff and volunteers have been working tirelessly to get the ground looking less like a golf course and ready for football. it's been a real roller—coaster few weeks, but i'm really proud of my team and the club and how we've dealt with this unfortunate incident and with some extreme circumstances that have faced us. but i'm just so pleased to say that football is back here in wimbledon on saturday.

for the fan—owned club, the focus is already turning to the first game back. it's going to be a really special occasion where we all realise how important this club is to everyone and, you know, the club has overcome this. you know, it's a serious incident that we've had here, but we've overcome it and we're back. and now really my focus behind the scenes is on making sure that we are building our resilience, to minimise the risk of future disruption. the environment agency said planning issues are dealt with by local authorities, while merton council told us... after all the attention off the field, there's hope the players can deliver on the freshly laid pitch. harry low, bbc news. done so well to prepare it, haven't they? families pull together in tough times — but sometimes

family can mean something else. scotland rugby international emma wassell was diagnosed with a tumour in her chest last month, and her team—mates organised a rota to make sure she always had someone helping her. the second row, who plays for loughborough, thought she had something lodged in her throat, but doctors found a tumour and she'll undergo surgery in a few weeks. she's been speaking exclusively to our sports correspondent chris mclaughlin. 29—year—old scotland international emma wassell has an incredible story to tell. everything i say now is recorded. i think i've got something stuck in my throat. like, that was the only thing that made sense. the doctorjust said, "no, it's a tumour." it was just like, "a what? how?" she was given a biopsy and told she'd need an operation. at her bedside, her team—mates were there round the clock,

feeding her, supporting her, always there when she woke up. my biological family is small. it's very, very small. but... ..rugby has given me a huge family. albeit not biological. they have supported me in a way that i don't even... i just feel so fortunate. there's people that... like, ifeel like i have the biggest family in the world. all the more special, as she lost her mother suddenly just six months ago. it must give you enormous pride, though, that she would have so much pride in you in terms of how you've dealt with this. yeah.

and she was... there's one thing that i will carry with me forever. i know how proud she was. she was unbearably proud. and so many strangers know about me because of her. she'll have an operation to remove the tumour later this month. then, she's determined to get back on the field for her country. i've spoken to so many athletes, professional athletes, who have been injured, who have been ill, and i have never met someone so desperate to get back to the sport they love. i'm due it to myself, i'm due it to my team—mates who have, yeah, picked me up and dragged me through these past couple of months,

and i'm due it to my mum. ..will for the foreseeable, i will go out and make myself proud and continue to make her proud. chris mclaughlin, bbc news. and we wish emma all the very best for her surgery. a reminder before we go. joe root is now england's leading test match run score of all time. that is it for sportsday. thanks for watching. bye—bye. hello there. there's been a lot of cloud and some rain around again today, but over the next couple of days, things are going to look and feel a bit different because it will be turning drier, but it's also getting colder. and we started to see that colder

air arriving across northern areas as a northerly wind is picking up, and that northerly wind is going to blow down across the whole of the country and push this rain and drizzle southwards overnight. following that, there will be a few showers — they could be wintry over the tops of the scottish mountains. but with the clearer skies in scotland, we're more likely to have a frost. could be —2 or —3. further south, where there's more cloud, temperatures are going to be held a bit higher, and that cloud still producing some rain first thing. that'll move away, and then we're all in the same boat for tomorrow — sunny spells, many places dry. a few showers coming in anywhere exposed to that north to north—westerly wind, which will again be strongest around those north sea coasts. and here, it will feel particularly cold out there. temperatures maybe not changing too much in scotland and northern ireland, but for southern parts of england and wales, it's going to be much cooler than it's been so far this week. and that colder air is in place again as we head into friday. we lose the northerly wind. we pick up a westerly wind, actually, which will bring cloud and some showery rain into scotland, northern ireland.

england and wales, it's looking generally dry. the winds will be lighter here. could be a touch of frost, though, early on across england and wales. and with that cold air still in place, temperatures aren't changing too much — typically 11 or 12 degrees. so a chilly end to the week, and it's going to be quite cool, i think, into the weekend as well. this area of low pressure is going to continue to bring some rain into scotland, but we could see this rain pushing into northern ireland as well and eventually northern parts of england. to the south, there may be a bit of sunshine, but there could be some showers too. and following on from that rain, there could be a few wintry showers in northern scotland as that northerly wind briefly returns. so, cold again for northern scotland — 7 or 8 degrees here. further south, well, we could reach 13 or 1a degrees. that wetter weather will slide away, and in turn, we're going to find a ridge of high pressure building in for the second half of the weekend. that's really settling things down. it will be a chilly start again. the winds are going to be light on sunday. there should be quite a bit of sunshine around. it's going to be a dry day. a bit of mist and fog possible across some western areas

early in the morning. those temperatures not changing a great deal — again, typically a cool 11 or 12. it's 7pm in london. this is the world today with maryam moshiri. hurricane milton the biggest storm to hit florida in a century heads towards
