over the next few days so i will launch into it. concentrate. at the moment the weather is not looking bad at all, i think for the rest of todayit bad at all, i think for the rest of today it is a case of hazy sunshine and mainly dry weather. but from mid week onwards it's looking horrible across some parts of the country and really a lot of rain on the way. the satellite picture with storm babet spinning around just to the west of portugal but the weather fronts and rain bearing clouds all the way to the north. look at this complicated weather maps over the next few days with a huge area of low pressure with a huge area of low pressure with lots of weather fronts spinning around, we will see waves of rain coming our way affecting different parts of the country at different times and actually other parts of europe as well so a thoroughly miserable autumnal picture. this is the rainfall accumulation as the days go by. obviously the darker the blue the more amounts of rain and in some areas we have bright green colours. the south of ireland, north—east england, eastern parts of scotland. some spots could see well over 100 millimetres of rain, and that will mean some flooding and disruption. at the moment it is the quiet before the storm. rain is gathering to the south—west but crucially it's the east, south—easterly wind that will play a big role as to where the rain clouds will go. this is what it looks like tomorrow morning, relatively mild, because this is relatively mild atlantic air. rain showers already gathering across the south and some western parts of scotland and maybe some thunderstorms. the wind will be noticeable tomorrow. normally when we get gale force winds they sweep from the atlantic but these will be developing out of the east, southeast, so very windy on the north sea coast but actually some sunshine. where as to the south—west of the uk we have heavy rain and it really could be heavy indeed. temperature is actually a little above average but because of the strength of the wind it will not feel like it. we really notice the winds and heavy rain picking up a southern areas through wednesday night into thursday. not too bad in scotland at this stage. early thru thursday and eventually into friday, what happens is the rain clouds kind of align themselves against the flow of align themselves against the flow of air and against the wind so we keep getting the same rain clouds bringing moisture and heavy rain to the same locations, here in the north—east of england, in eastern scotland, northern ireland will have seen better weather by then but they will have had a good soaking too. this has prompted the met office to issue an early warning valid thursday into friday. some upland areas could see as much as 200 millimetres of rain so take care and stay tuned with forecasts. thanks, tomasz. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. hello and welcome to sportsday with me, will perry. can england join scotland at euro 202a? gareth southgate�*s side only need a draw against italy at wembley later to book their place in germany. captain george williams is named in england's rugby league squad for the tonga series despite being banned for the first two games. and we'll hear from lucy charles—barclay as she sets a new course record and wins the ironman world championship in hawaii for the first time. welcome along. we'll start with that all important euro 2024 qualifier at wembley this evening, where england know a point will be enough to see them through to next summers tournament. they're taking on italy, whose qualification hangs in the balance. we have been ranked in the top five in the world now since 2018. so i don't think there has been any other period over the last 30—110 years where that has been the case, so these boys are consistently producing big and memorable nights, good performances, exciting performances in general, and we want to keep doing that. ultimately, the first objective is to always qualify for the tournaments, and our performances early in the group of put us in a really strong position, so although... the first thing we want to do is win the game, play well, when the game, but we know, if it is the 87th minute and we are level, then we don't need to lob the goalkeeper into the box at the end of the game. it will be england's first match against italy at wembley since beating them on penalties there in the final of euro 2020. southgate says his current team are a different side to the one that lost back then, and defender kyle walker says they've matured since that night. i feel that people and teams evolved from that, you learn from occasions where you have had setbacks and achieve something great, and what the boss said there, we get a draw and we go through, so it's about managing the game, first informants it's about putting out a performance in winning, but i will not be ashamed if it 0—0 and we are in the euro andi ashamed if it 0—0 and we are in the euro and i go on to represent my country at the finals. the metropolitan police says there is a robust plan in place for that match at wembley this evening. that's after around 400 sweden fans spent the night in hotels under police protection. their euro 2a qualifier against belgium was abandoned at half—time after two swedish people were shot dead in brussels. the match was level at 1—1 at the break before the stadium was evacuated. the sweden players have flown home and will now return to their clubs. sweden captain and manchester united defender victor lindelof says security put the team at ease and he sees no reason to replay the game as belgium have already qualified for next summer's competition and sweden can no longerjoin them. the football association is set to review and limit the occasions it lights up the wembley arch. the players wore black armbands during friday's match between england and australia with the fa saying a period of silence was held to respect the "innocent victims of the devastating events in israel and palestine". however, the decision not to light the arch in the colours of the israel flag was criticised by some. scotland boss steve clarke says he now expects to see players challenging for their places when scotland take on france in a friendly tonight. describing the hosts as probably the best team in the world, clarke says he'd make a number of changes to his team for the friendly in lille. the french team is really strong, we expect a tough game, we have two competitive games next month to finish the group, and talking about momentum and results, we have lost the last two games and we don't want to lose three in a row, so we have to lose three in a row, so we have to play as well as we can, we know it is a tough ask in a big task against a top team, i'm not sure how many changes the french will make, whether they go with a strong team or not, but whichever 11 day start on the pitch will be a big test for us so we have to be ready for that. we can build momentum, i would say the momentum we are looking to get is to pick up in the competitive matches, so the matches next month, it would be nice to think we can finish with two more wins and may be finished the group on the same points tally is one of the top teams in europe. at the cricket world cup, south africa are looking to make it three wins from three. they won the toss agaisnt the netherlands and have put them into a bat. there was a two hour rain delay. the dutch were reduced to 82—5 at one stage. the netherlands yet to win a game at the tournament, currently 112-5 game at the tournament, currently 112—5 in the game at the tournament, currently 112-5 in the 27th game at the tournament, currently 112—5 in the 27th over. england rugby league coach shaun wane has named his squad for the men's three—match series againts tonga, which begins at the weekend. it's the first time the nations have played each other since the world cup semifinal in auckland six years ago. captain george williams is included in the 2a despite it still being unclear how much he'll be allowed to play in the series. williams was initially banned for one game for a shoulder charge playing for his club side warrington but had that sentence doubled after losing an appeal. he goes in front of a disciplinary tribunal this evening. so here is the squad in full. five players from australia's nrl are named, including the compeition�*s top try—scorer, dom young. there's a recall for wigan skipper liam farrell, fresh from leading his side to a grand final win at the weekend. it's the first time he's been involved with england for two years. the first test against tonga is at st helens on sunday before games at huddersfield and leeds later this month. britain's lucy charles—barclay set a new course record as she won the ironman world championship in hawaii for the first time. charles—barclay is just the third briton to win the ironman world championship after leanda cave and chrissie wellington. the 30—year—old is also the first woman to lead the event from start to finish. charles—barclay finished just over three minutes ahead of germany's anne haug. it feels incredible to be world champion, especially after the journey i have had, i have been second here four times, that was backin second here four times, that was back in 2017, we lost championships here because of the pandemic and in that time i have also had two pretty bad injuries, so to come back from that and finally get the win just feels like a dream come true and it really does feel like i have dedicated my career to try to win this race. ., , ., ., ., this race. you must

for national statistics said that regular earnings rose by a near record of 7.8% in the three months to august. that means wages are now rising faster than prices for the first time since october 2021. live now to drjeevun sandher, head of economics at the new economics foundation and a former treasury official. just explain what this means today. it means way is ofjust about stopped falling but of course that is not a cause for celebration, take a step back, our wages are about £1000 lower than a decade ago and the reason for that is lack of public investment and also the chaos. we have had more prime ministers last year than onshore wind farms built in this country and the worst fall in ways is since napoleon threatened these shores, the chaos and cuts have made us poorer but we need to see investment to ensure that we grow more investment in insulation to get our bills down and also stability, we get wages growing again in this country. get wages growing again in this count
