was cloudy, grey, and wet with a couple of inches of rain falling but on sunday, just take a look at leedshine here. i suspect there is going to be more rain in the forecast, however, today, with this area of low pressure and the front pushing in from the west. now, some of that rain is going to push its way steadily eastwards so some heavy rain clearing to showers, the best of the dry weather through monday is likely to be across scotland. so we start off then with heavy rain moving out of northern ireland through the irish sea into the north west of england and parts of wales, but you can see central and southern england is quite showery in nature so not everywhere will see wetter weather. there will be heavier bursts, the best of the dry, sunny weather looks likely, potentially, to be in scotland. not quite as warm here, though, 14 degrees, 20 degrees high, we mightjust see 25 degrees ahead of that rain before it arrives in parts of lincolnshire and east anglia. now, as we move into tuesday, this area of low pressure will continue to enhance showers in the far north—west and down to the

birmingham, glasgow, leeds, manchester, newcastle, sheffield and liverpool. that's it!d that it comes to liverpool. we tick all the boxes. we have the arena, the beautiful city, everything's on the doorstep. we are going to have the biggest party ever. liverpool does has a musical heritage. there is romance to their bid. but the winner will be determined by practicalities. these days, eurovision is huge. glasgow has proved its ability to host major events with the recent cop international climate conference, but the fact so many cities have the facilities to be in the running says something. it's a great sign for the north. a lot of tourism in the uk is london—centric, and the fact there are so many northern cities on the shortlist is a good sign that people are seeing the north for the tourism that it can bring. and whoever is finally chosen in the autumn, that's only the beginning. modern eurovision is rather larger than it was when the uk last hosted in 1998. let's now speak to martin smith, chair of economic development and skills policy committee for sheffield city

leeds united continued their steady form with a 3—1win over barnsley in a yorkshire derby.scott, after the pair announced their retirement from football. white is england's top scorer, whilst midfielder scott is their second—most—capped player. as she announced her squad for the upcoming world cup qualifiers without the pair that helped england win the women's euros, wiegman said it was time for the next generation to make their mark. we'll absolutely miss them, because they're such big personalities and they had such an impact on the team. but i do think that's what we already saw during the summer with her as captain, she grew in the role so well and collaborated with the whole team, and also withjill, ellen, and the other more experienced leaders in the team. so i do think now, the dynamics of the team will change a little bit, of course, that's normal. we will absolutely miss those two, but i think that we'll stabilise over the next camps, because it also gives an opportunity for other players to step up. here's the squad in full, then — goalkeeper hannah hampson is omi
