the home side's next move was a popular one, asjoe allen made his return from international retirement, and wales turned up the pressure. neco williams went close late on, but in the end one goal was enough. bellamy says he wants to entertain, but he's shown he can get results, too. katie gornall, bbc news. northern ireland play bulgaria tonight — scotland take on portugal in what has been more than a year since their last competitive victory. their manager steve clarke says it's a mystery to him why the scottish fans don't get behind the side. after 20 years in the international wilderness, this group of players have been to two major tournaments, they've got promotion to this top level of the nations league, so i don't understand why the...why people would be doubting about this group of players. it's a tough moment, there's no doubt about it, but we believe in ourselves. ageing the fans to get behind the players despite the bad run of results. —— he is urging the fans.

it's a big day for england's cricketers. ben stokes is back to captain the test side against pakistan in the second test in multan and the women know that victory over west indies in dubai will see them reach the semi—finals of the t20 world cup as group winners. if they lose it'll come down to run rate as to whether they'll qualify. when times get tough, it's good to have everyone around you to support you, so i think that's something that we're really good at. we can tell when people are struggling, and to be all around each other and being able to get out and do stuff does really help. farfrom plain sailing. ben ainslie and his ineos britannia crew had that sinking feeling yet again, as they attempted to make up ground in the america's cup. they're now 4—0 down against new zealand, in the first—to—seven race. that's despite making their best start in a race so far, off the coast of barcelona as they took a slender lead before the kiwis pushed to the front and crossed the line 23 seconds ahead. britain have never won the america's cup in its i73—year history. racing resumes tomorrow.

two more races to come, although if team new zealand win both it really would be match point for them, just one more win. it feels that way, it will take some remarkable comeback from ben ainslie's crew if new zealand win both.— from ben ainslie's crew if new zealand win both. let's hold that thou~ht, zealand win both. let's hold that thought. shall— zealand win both. let's hold that thought, shall we? _ zealand win both. let's hold that thought, shall we? it— zealand win both. let's hold that thought, shall we? it might - zealand win both. let's hold that. thought, shall we? it might happen. john, thank you. as we approach winter, many of us will be looking at low—cost ways to stay warm — which might include filling up a hot water bottle. however, the children's burn trust is warning about their potential risks, following a 55% increase in injuries to young people, caused by bursting bottles. a warning that this report from jayne mccubbin does have some graphic images. the cost—of—living crisis has had very many consequences. as thermostats have gone down, the use of hot water bottles has gone up.

and today, medics want to warn about the very real risk they pose. i can't believe the extent of the injury from one hot water bottle. yeah. your skin hasjust peeled off. yeah, it did. it was very, very painful. my legs were shaking. they were literally shaking. this is what happened to 14—year—old fati when her hot water bottle exploded. i'd noticed that i had cramps and i wanted to, like, use my hot water bottle like usual and then just go to sleep. and when i put the, um, hot, boiling water in the water bottle, itjust popped when i put it on. it exploded when it went on you. yeah. the ambulance brigade told you your hot water bottle had expired. i didn't know they could expire. me, too. i knew in that day. and i literally regretted why i used that hot water bottle. these injuries have increased just as families have looked for cheaper ways to keep warm. new data shows that burns

to children from hot water bottles have more than doubled since the cost—of—living crisis began. you see the reality of this coming through your door. absolutely. partly down to the fact that it's cold and people are worried about turning the heating on, and partly down to the fact that people don't actually realise that hot water bottles perish. and this is what it looks like when one blows. i have brought my boys' hot water bottles. excellent. because i had no idea there was a shelf life on these things. well, first things i noticed is they're full of water. and if you're going to store them, store them empty. the water can make it degrade. because if you think about leaving — you're leaving rubber wet. and on the neck, as you can see here, a little wheel. in the middle of the wheel there's a number. that number is the year they were manufactured. so yours says 16. 2016. which is quite a long time ago. we reckon they have a shelf life between two to three years. basically, you do need to check them. so you want to look around the seal.

you want to look for any damage when you open it. you've got a good seal. you can feel that click. so do you have people who literally have had a hot water explode all over them? absolutely. every year. um, and it's getting more and more common. but if your hot water bottle does blow, this is what you do. first, cool the wound down. so you want to be getting it under cool running water — not cold — for about 15 to 20 minutes. and that is not ice cold. no, you don't want to have ice cold. cool running water rather than cold — because we're stopping the burning process, we're not causing the vessels to restrict themselves. next... get some cling film. most households have cling film in the house. cover the wound. and you want to wrap it loosely around the burn injury, because you don't want to have it too tight because the burn will swell. and you get them to local a&e. fati had a 12—day stay in hospital after her injury in april... bye! ..and she is still an outpatient at manchester's

children's hospital today. 2021. as for my family's batch of hot water bottles... 2016. are you saying, sam, that all of these need to go in the bin? er, i'm not saying they automatically need to go in the bin. i am saying you do need to be very careful with them. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. that is scary, isn't it? you take it for granted. _ that is scary, isn't it? you take it for granted, pull _ that is scary, isn't it? you take it for granted, pull it _ that is scary, isn't it? you take it for granted, pull it out _ that is scary, isn't it? you take it for granted, pull it out of- that is scary, isn't it? you take it for granted, pull it out of the - for granted, pull it out of the cupboard when you need it. find for granted, pull it out of the cupboard when you need it. and never buy another— cupboard when you need it. and never buy another one. _ cupboard when you need it. and never buy another one. didn't _ cupboard when you need it. and never buy another one. didn't think - cupboard when you need it. and never buy another one. didn't think about i buy another one. didn't think about it until nova — buy another one. didn't think about it until now. some _ buy another one. didn't think about it until now. some of— buy another one. didn't think about it until now. some of those - buy another one. didn't think about it until now. some of those images| it until now. some of those images are difficult to look at. carol is here. a bit of good news in that it is getting a bit warmer. that's right, it is, but when it will_ that's right, it is, but when it will come _ that's right, it is, but when it will come some wet and windy weather over the _ will come some wet and windy weather over the next couple of days and nights _ over the next couple of days and nights. good morning. that really is the forecast — nights. good morning. that really is the forecast for the next couple of days _ the forecast for the next couple of days wet — the forecast for the next couple of days. wet and also windy. this morning. —

# 0 deuwch, 0 deuwch. # i fethlehem... singing in the pub with a smattering of �*70s fashion all set the scene in the oldest surviving episode of pobol y cwm from 1974. over the decades, there's been plenty of drama... screaming. characters have come and gone from the fictional village of cwmderi. action! but one has survived it all. lisabeth miles has been in the role of megan for 50 years. she speaks welsh. and for the 173,480th episode, there's a party in her honour. i was young and full of confidence and enjoying what i was doing. i don't know, there was a great feeling of being part of something that was going to be important, i think. and the initial reaction was good.

you know, i think we did about 12 or 15 episodes, and then it became nightly or three times a week. older than eastenders, it's outlived the likes of holby city and doctors. pobol y cwm now has to compete in the digital streaming age, where people can access programmes from right around the world, but here they believe it still has a unique appeal. yeah, this is the fake world that we live in. this is behind the scenes in studio six. rhys first appeared on set 28 years ago. his character cai has been in and out of the storyline since, but he thinks the programme's connection is a constant. the appeal of pobol y cwm is more than just a soap. i think it's part and parcel of wales, the welsh culture, the welsh language. it's there, you know — it always has been there, it's played an integral part in everybody�*s life in wales. i think it's touched everybody, you know, and it's helped the welsh language definitely develop

and keep going. she speaks welsh. it's also helped nurture a few welsh actors. ioan gruffudd started young before heading to hollywood. he speaks welsh. iwan rheon graduated from here to game of thrones. there have also been a few cameos — though they've scraped the barrel for this week's 50th anniversary episode. they speak welsh. a celebration of half a century on the screen. hywel griffith, bbc news, in the fictional village of cwmderi. that is amazing. i do think he should not — that is amazing. i do think he should not give _ that is amazing. i do think he should not give up _ that is amazing. i do think he should not give up the - that is amazing. i do think he should not give up the day . that is amazing. i do think he l

near his children. and last year, he became a dad again. great meeting you. grrrreat meeting you! we met up with him near where he lives in beverly hills. yeah, i'm just going to tie my shoelaces. thank you. al pacino. yes. the autobiography deals a lot with family — and fatherhood, obviously — and you became a father again last year. how have you reacted to that? well its extraordinary! well, its extraordinary! i've reacted to it as many ways as you could possibly react to it. it was... it's wonderful. you know, i have this little person. everything he does is interesting to me, you know? so we...we talk, i play the harmonica with him, and we have made this kind of contact, so it's fun. at 83, did you have any reservations about the age? well, i'd want to be around for this

child — of course i did. but things happen, and i wanted to be... and i hope i am — i hope i stay healthy and he knows who his dad is, of course. however, al pacino had a near—death experience in 2020, when he fell ill during the pandemic. when i opened my eyes, there were five paramedics in my living room! there were two doctors who looked like spacemen, and there was an ambulance in front of my house. there was something. then there was nothing. not... no fall, no anything. there was just nothing. which was, in retrospect, was sort of frightening. there was no white tunnels? no white tunnels, no — nothing. it's like shakespeare says in "to be or not to be". no more. there's no sequel. no sequel! no. exactly. let's talk about the godfather. yes. finally. laughter. just wasn't enough time, michael. wasn't enough time.

we'll get there, pop. i was in it. how did that happen? i was lucky because francis coppola saw me on stage on broadway. but once you were in the role of the godfather... yeah. ..they wanted rid of you. how close did you come to being sacked from the godfather? when your director talks to you and says, you know, "i had a lot of faith in you, man. what's happening? you're not delivering." they wanted a leading man in that role — someone who was, uh, took the reins. but pacino was saved when, the next day, they filmed what would become one of the godfather�*s most famous scenes. this is the gun in the toilets of the restaurant scene. they say that francis moved that scene up. he claims he didn't. it seems like that would be the thing to do — get to the meat — because that's what the studio wants to see. and they liked the scene, and that was it. who were they going to replace you with, do you think? could you see anyone lurking around? bob de niro comes to mind!

laughter. we went looking for your star on the hollywood walk of fame. oh, i don't have a star. you don't have a star! how can you possibly not?! i don't know, i don't know. it happens. there are a lot of people who have, but there's also a lot of people who don't have a star. if hollywood's committee are watching this interview, would you be quite up for one now? of course! there we go. yeah, sure. come on, al pacino wants his star on the hollywood walk of fame. finally, it's always interesting when you meet someone like you, thinking, right, what am i going to learn about al pacino from meeting him? your phone cover. can you show this, please, and explain the story? because of all the things in the world that i thought al pacino would have on his phone cover, i was not expecting... ..shrek. who would be expecting shrek? who? that's mine. can you explain why you shrek it? my youngest daughter said,

"can i have your phone, dad? i'vejust got to..." so i gave her my phone and she came back and she had this on it. she said, "it's shrek, dad!" i said, "shrek? wow. 0k, babe, i'll hold on to it." it's been a real pleasure. my pleasure. it was great talking to you. and this, you can't get over — i know, i know. someday — one day — i'll take it off. but i don't know how. awww! i'm not so scared of him now now i know about his phone cover. he does do menacing so well, throughout his career. sonny boy, al pacino's autobiography is out today. and an hour—long version of that interview will be shown on bbc two on friday 25th october at 9pm. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
