so while there's dutch delight, our sports correspondent katie cornwall was watching england destroy scotland at hampden park. she rounds up the match for us. well, no one can question the effort and the heart from england. here they gave everything against scotland to try and keep alive team gb�*s hopes of qualifying for the olympics. but ultimately they came up short in a game with so many twists and turns. they came into this match knowing that they had to beat scotland and better. the netherlands result by three clear goals and they wasted no time here at hampden park. alex greenwood got them up and running afterjust 12 minutes. there were two goals in 2 minutes from laurenjames and then beth mead on her return to the starting line up. after more than a year out with injury, she scored england's fourth just before half time. now at that point england were heading through on goal scored, but they knew that one goal either here or in tilburg, could change everything. so even at 5—0 up, things were still tense for england. then heading into stoppage time, that's when things got real

the cloud, though, and a bit of rain will start to move its way into the isles of scilly, west cornwallatures in double figures. but for many of us, wednesday again is going to be a cold day, perhaps the last those cold feeling days, because as we go through the second half of the week, low pressure systems move their way in from the atlantic, bringing some wet and windy weather at times. but with that will also bring in some less cold, milder air as well. live from london, this is bbc news. we're going to be live in central london shortly for a speech by the labour leader, sir keir starmer. he is set to argue that "growth must become labour's obsession" if it wins the next general election. sir keir will be speaking at a conference organised by the think tank resolution foundation. he will say that those expecting an incoming labour government to "quickly turn on the spending taps" will be "disappointed". live now to our political correspondent harry farley one. i correspondent harry farley one. have mentioned s is i have mentioned similar things he is expected to say. what else is in

hang on to some showers at times, and eastern parts of northern ireland, pembrokeshire, devon and cornwalls forming, some freezing fog in central and southern england. these are temperatures in towns and cities, a cold and frosty night. in sheltered glens temperature could fall away to minus 10. some of the freezing fog will only lift into the afternoon. towards the west, cloud will build, wind will strengthen, rain will arrive. with that will come milder conditions. it is still going to be a cold day. 0vernight, wednesday to thursday, thursday itself, as this band of rain pushes north and bumps into the cold air we could see some disruptive hill snow across northern england and the hills of scotland, but it will be transient, behind it, a return to brighter skies and also some showers. milder across the board. beyond that, low pressure comes in from the atlantic through friday and into the weekend. the weather is going to remain unsettled. it will be cloudy and wet at times. it is also going to be windy at times as well. but compared to the temperatures and weather we had last weekend, te
