allow around wind, 50 to 60 mph allow around exposed coasts. quite blowing through the irish sea. probably staying dry across eastern england, still mild with spells of sunshine eventually, rain will move through as we go into friday night and saturday. it will take its time to clear across eastern areas of england. what will follow on saturday is a day of sunshine in blustery showers. temperatures still above average for the time of year. but then the second half of the weekend, we are watching for some strong winds across the northwest of scotland. gusts here can reach 70 or even 80 miles an hour, making it the most intense low pressure of the autumn so far, and it could bring some localised disruption, so some windy weather on the way as we head through the course of the weekend. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday.

thomas tuchel says he's the man to make england's dream come true in america build an atmosphere with the grade supported the country it's an extra special thing. 2a hours afterjonas eidevel�*s resignation, arsenal women are looking to get back on track in europe the second test could be turning pakistan's way. england's batters are caught in a spin in multan also coming up on sportsday. after a freak accident in the garden saw her miss the olympics, katie archibald tells dame laura kenny about her return to the track. evening, he says he's excited, honoured, proud and sorry for having a german passport, thomas tuchel didn't duck

any question at wembley today, talking about his love of england, even the national anthem, that he hasn't decided whether to sing or not. he'll take over as england head coach injanuary on an 18 month contract. that will see the 51—year—old through to the world cup, if they qualify of course. his coaching career started taking off 17 years ago, via augsberg and mainz before he went on to challenge for the bundesliga title with borussia dortmund winning his first silverware in the german cup. he then moved to france and paris saint—germain, winning two league titles including a domestic treble in 2020. that caught the attention of chelsea — he managed them from january 2021. winning the champions league a few month later and then the club world cup and uefa super cup before being sacked in 2022. tuchel then returned to germany — winning the bundesliga with bayern munich, but despite harry kanes goals last season, they didn't win anything, and he left with a year

to go on his contract, he'd been out of work for five months, until the fa came calling. an offer that he couldn't turn down. i understood very quickly that it's a big job and i think it's always thejob, it's the biggestjob the job, it's the biggestjob that you don't get it does not make a lot of sense to compare. but it feels big and it feels like a privilege. i'm sorry. ijust have a german passport but i can just tell them and maybe all of the supporters felt my passion for the english premier league in my passion for the country how i love to live here and i love to work here in my memories and the highest level and they played a huge role and hopefully, i can convince them and show and prove to them that i'm proud to be the english manager and i'll do everything i can to show

roan is there, we're not unfamiliar with tuchel from his chelsea days, but that was a hugely impressive performance and he seemed to hit all the right notes. it comes as no surprise how eloquent thomas tuchel is when he had to navigate difficult times and chelsea and he has excellent command of english and his passion for the english and his passion for the english game really came through today and i will endear him to many england fans and many would prefer an english manager but i think and thomas tuchel, they can list a company and the fact that this is someone who knows english game inside out and he's clearly close to players like harry kane and taking players like harry kane and taking players and bayern munich and there are moments that you mentioned when asked about the national anthem he is honest about that sync he has not yet made his mind up. fair enough, he would take his time and decide whether or not he will retain harry kane as captain or not and it's

interesting that he sticking to this plan to only take up the reins and the new year. there are some within the new year. there are some within the media who would like to see him start the job immediately and i the media who would like to see him start thejob immediately and i do not understand why, they would like to see thomas tuchel get cracking and qualify and see which you can do and qualify and see which you can do and actually win the world cup but what is intriguing is his honesty when what was expected of him was, he knows the score brought in on the short 18 month contract to win the world cup in 2026 not suspect that he appreciates that if that doesn't happen, it will be a short stays england manager.— happen, it will be a short stays england manager. some of the lines of questioning _ england manager. some of the lines of questioning when _ england manager. some of the lines of questioning when erickson - england manager. some of the lines of questioning when erickson took. of questioning when erickson took over and having a third permanent foreign english manager. and people in the media, we had to nevels

the likes of eddie and graham potter and other english potential candidates. we got know whether they are spoken to —— we do not know, and notjust an interim boss, the chief executive when defending this choice, they see it as a crew given his technical prowess, however they do make the point that there is a real dearth of options, there's only three english managers in the premier league and so, they haven't had much opportunity to select from and that is something the fa we need to address in future years but they're looking at this as a short—term temporary move, with a view to developing talent going forward. ~ . , . ., ., forward. wanted it very clear that we want the _ forward. wanted it very clear that we want the best _ forward. wanted it very clear that we want the best person - forward. wanted it very clear that we want the best person for - forward. wanted it very clear that we want the best person for the l forward. wanted it very clear that l we want the best person for the job and feel— we want the best person for the job and feel like we owe it to the players — and feel like we owe it to the players in _ and feel like we owe it to the players in the country to give them that support and that will help them get them _ that support and that will help them get them over the line and given the best chance of winning in the men's world _ best chance of winning in the men's
