rain, some strong winds for a time, briefly gusting up to 60mph across western scotland and through the day the winds will ease a little for some of us and we will see some outbreaks of rain at times and temperatures will range from 13 in aberdeen to 17 in plymouth, and then into the weekend, this chart tells the story. low pressure firmly in charge and it's like being stuck in the spin cycle of a washing machine as the weather system spirals around the area of low pressure meaning we will see bands of rain moving throughout time, brisk winds and it will stay cool and autumnal. a reminder of the main story this evening. after days of empty fuel pumps and queues on garage forecourt, the prime minister says there are signs that the situation is starting to improve. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we now join the bbc�*s news teams where you are. welcome along to sportsday and it's another champions league week across europe. el cashico is one of the labels. that is as manchester city take on psg. liverpool will wear black arm bands after the death of former manager roger hunt will stop and the crowd will be back as 40,000 runners take on the london marathon. we are askin: take on the london marathon. we are asking peeple — take on the london marathon. we are asking peeple to _ take on the london marathon. we are asking people to be _ take on the london marathon. we are asking people to be sensible -

looking forward to it. one of city's strength over the last couple of. strength over the last couple of seasons have been the defence. this is almost the ultimate test if you have a scenario where it is messi, killian mbappe and neymar. you have midfielders, players _ killian mbappe and neymar. you have midfielders, players from _ killian mbappe and neymar. you have midfielders, players from wide - midfielders, players from wide areas, they have players who can punish you all over and theyjust have to be a team performance from the front. i think if the setup is correct, pressing from the front, everyone gets their position is right and distances that could be the difference and i think manchester city have got it. beautiful evening in paris, coverage on five live and i feel it is one of the champions league nights were almost anything could happen. absolutely, should be a real cracker. coverage from 7pm tonight on 5 live. also an opportunity for liverpool to assert their dominance. absolutely, the will assert their dominance. absolutely, they will want _ assert their dominance. absolutely, they will want to _ assert their dominance. absolutely, they will want to build _ assert their dominance. absolutely, they will want to build on _ assert their dominance. absolutely, they will want to build on that - they will want to build on that really impressive opening when. —— opening win. yeah, liverpool will be looking to back up that impressive comeback win against ac milan, a few weeks ago. just like city they're on their travels too. they're away in porto tonight, which means a return to his hometown club for forward diogo jota. he's been at liverpool forjust a year now since joining from wolves and despite being tasked with the difficultjob of breaking up one of the world's best front three in salah, mane and firmino, jota's managed to establish himself as a vital part ofjurgen klopp's side. obviously i knew they were one of the best_ obviously i knew they were one of the best tree areas, attacking trio is, in _ the best tree areas, attacking trio is, in the — the best tree areas, attacking trio is, in the world, but i never thought— is, in the world, but i never thought about coming and taking anyone's— thought about coming and taking anyone's place. i thought about coming — anyone's place. i thought about coming and giving my best in trainings _ coming and giving my best in trainings and games and that is up to the _ trainings and games and that is up to the manager to decide. that is always— to the manager to decide. that is always useful when you have those kinds _ always useful when you have those kinds of _ always useful when you have those kinds of players to help you, because _ kinds of players to help you, because in the end what we want is to win _ so that's all to come tonight, gav, with lots more matches around europe as well. as for tomorrow, reigning champions chelsea are back in action. they travel to turin to face juventus. but they'll be without n'golo kante for the game. the midfielder�*s got covid—19, so he won't be available. meanwhile, manchester united will be looking to bounce back from their opening defeat when they host villareal at old trafford, the team that beat them in the europa league final last season. now, despite having one of the strongest squads in europe, united have struggled recently. they've lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, so there's no denying there's pressure on manager ole gunnar solskjaer. but in his press conference today he said... so he's confident, gav, but you have to think, after that really disappointing defeat to young boys last time out, this is a game united, and solskjaer, really have to win. it really will be, lots to look forward to for that one. thank you very much indeed. liverpool players will wear black armbands tonight in their game at porto, following the death of former striker roger hunt. the 1966 world cup winner has passed away at the age of 83. he won 34 caps for england and scored three of his 18 international goals in the 1966 tournament, where he played in every game. he also scored 244 league goals for liverpool, which is still a club record. he won the league title with them twice in 1964 and 66 and the fa cup in between. though he was never honoured to the extent of some of his england team—mates, to the liverpool fans he was known as "sir roger". the current liverpool boss, jurgen klopp has paid his tributes, saying... liverpool's overall record goal—scorer ian rush said... "very sad to hear of the passing of sir roger hunt, someone i would always look up to. he was a fantastic goal scorer and a true gentleman on and off the pitch." and this from another former liverpool striker, john aldridge. we have had some squad announcements. gareth bale will miss games against czech republic and estonia next week with what has been described as a significant hamstring tear. he had been due to win his 100th cap but the wales captain has not played since the last international and he picked up the injury on his return to real madrid. northern ireland manager says he is confidentjonny evans will be fit for the qualifier. he is dealing with an ongoing foot injury. was on the bench for the draw with burnley at the weekend and it started in the league cup last week.

ashes, but he's stopped short of confirming whether he'll lead the side in australia. the tour is up in the air because of covid restrictions and players are waiting to learn what the touring conditions will be for the series, which is due to start on the 8th of december. that first match is scheduled for brisbane and covid is causing disruption to sport there. queensland's sheffield

willis trophy, the end of season showpiece. they bowled out lancashire forjust 78 in less than 28 overs, pace bowler craig miles impressing yet again. and they've been equally dominant in their reply — 120 without loss when bad light stopped play, asjim lumsden reports. having been pipped to the title by warwickshire, lancashire were out for revenge, but the bears won the toss and chose to field. that proved astute, lancashire managed eight runs before george bid farewell for one. it was the beginning of a astonishing cascade. just four it runs with that bowl at craig miles on his way to a five wicket ball. luke prevented at the school being lancashire's worst ever against warwickshire, but they were all out for just 78. warwickshire, but they were all out forjust 78. rob yates and dom sibley began in reply and were soon at 12 without loss when it lancashire work 12—6. a righteous belt for the england test side but today looked more comfortable. yates worked his way to a half—century with sibley or most on 49 when a bad light stopped play. a gloomy day for lunch, the county champions very much in control. —— gloomy day of her lancashire. time now for a quick look at some of the day's other sports stories. 2012 olympic long jump champion greg rutherford has moved a step closer to his dream of becoming the first british athlete to win medals at summer and winter
