mind? yeah, it is. it would be wrong of us do not try and - wrong of us do not try and dismiss it. we are a much better team now than we were then but i think there are clear things that we have to take away from that and our coaches being clear about reminding us of that and showing us clips that hurt. watching a stiffen like that will always hurt so she shyness a few clips and made sure that we are fully aware of what needs to change. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc. co. uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. some fresh autumn weather on the way. chilly even for some of us in northern parts of the uk, but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. it's been so mild across many parts of the country so far this month. so we're back to really where we should be this time of the year. so this is what's happening on thursday. this is the air mass, the temperature of the atmosphere. so still some warmth and humidity across the south. in fact, temporarily thursday into friday, we'll see a resurgence of that warmth as the wind direction changes temporarily from the southwest. but then come saturday and sunday, it's a northerly and that autumn chill arrives touch of frost across northern areas by night, even a little bit of wintry ness across the scottish hills. so let's have a look at the forecast then through the early hours, really quite cloudy and wet across some southern parts of the uk. but to the north of that it's generally clear and chilly. in the glens of scotland, temperatures barely above freezing, but most of our northern towns and cities around three to four degrees celsius in the south, on the south coast, it's still really quite mild sort of remnants of that warmth leftover, but a lot of cloud during the day, little dribs and drabs of rain. and then i think across much of yorkshire, northern ireland, the bulk of scotland, a bright if not sunny day, just scattered fairweather clouds, 13, 1a, still 18 in the south. but then come the evening, widespread heavy rain sweeps into many parts of england and wales, a really wet thursday night into friday. really complicated weather map here. on the one hand, we have a weather front coming in, a low pressure from the south and we've got a cold front coming in from the north. you can just about see it here. so i think for a time wet in the morning on friday, temporarily, that warmth, it literally clips the southeast with temperatures up to 20 in london, 19 in norwich. but the colder autumn air arrives in scotland, northern ireland and northern england as well. so it's a northerly temporarily or northern, but northerly, but then into next week, high pressure builds and we're right in the middle in the centre of this area of high pressure. so that means the winds will be generally light, there'll be a lot of sunshine around. so it's going to feel very, very pleasant indeed. i think a lot of crisp autumn sunshine on the way. that's it for me. bye bye. live from washington, this is bbc news. israel continues to bring troops to the boundary line with gaza, ahead of a possible ground invasion. and destruction in gaza — and desperation there, with power and supplies cut off. plus — the families of those taken hostage and being held in gaza remain desperate for news about their loved ones. inside my heart, and very worried. i want to hope. i want to be in hope. hello. i'm caitriona perry. you're very welcome. let's start with live pictures at this hour of gaza, as people brace for a possible land invasion by israeli
