[it has jersey is not available to buy. has been a jersey is not available to buy. it has been a long battle and discussion and we kind of got to a point where i feel they heard what i had to say and i was supported by some fantastic team—mates who also advocated for it. to be in a position where i feel it really changed the world in this area and i think that it is fantastic for all young goalkeepers, i know it means a lot to so many people. i was advised to kind of go on it because it might suit my personality a bit more, i am not a poser, i think football is seen as robots and just the media trained cliche dances all the time. we do have big personalities and we arejust normal we do have big personalities and we are just normal people. manchester united and england's mary earps, the second of our nominees. also in the five — spain's aitana bonmati, australia and chelsea striker sam kerr, germany and wolfsburg striker alexandra popp, sweden and barcelona defender fridolina rolfo. there's more on each of those nominees on the bbc sport website and, also, how you can vote. you have until friday, november 3rd. that's all from sportsday. remember, you can stay up—to—date with all the latest sports news using the bbc sports website and app. we will see you again soon, goodbye. hello there. good evening. well, it's been a very wet october so far. not for all of us, but certainly for many of us, especially across eastern areas of scotland, such as here in aberdeenshire. more wet weather here today and there'll be higher rainfall totals to come as we head through the next few days yet again. so not a lot set to change for the rest of the month. it stays unsettled across the uk, with more heavy showers to come and also some longer spells of rain, too. and if we just take a look at the rainfall accumulation chart over the next few days, you can see those bright colours starting to emerge again in eastern scotland. parts of the higher ground could see as much as 50—100 millimetres of rain. it's falling on saturated ground. could cause some more problems, maybe. why is it happening? well, low pressure is out towards the west, which is where it's going to stay. more showers spiralling around it. a southeasterly wind, brisk towards the east coast of scotland, just driving those showers further onshore. and then overnight tonight, there will be some clear spells developing, i think further south for england and wales, some mist, some low cloud possibly forming, showers out towards the west. so not completely dry. and temperatures to start the day will be on the mild side, certainly frost—free, 6—10 celsius. and then into friday, again, nothing much changes. the low pressure still out towards the west, the showers spiral around it. we've still got that brisk southeasterly wind for eastern scotland, acting as a sort of conveyor belt, just a constant stream of showers. a lot of the rain will tend to be quite light and patchy, but it'll be pretty relentless, i think, as we head through the day, and the rainfall totals will start to rack up once again. further south, there will be a lot of dry weather, some sunny intervals, but also some heavy, possibly thundery showers, maybe a flash or two of lightning. temperatures once again peaking between 10—15 celsius — a little above the average towards the south. and then on saturday, well, it's more of the same. we'll still see these showers across eastern scotland driving a little further westwards perhaps, the wind picking up towards the south coast of england. by the end of the day, expect to see some heavy, persistent outbreaks of rain. by the time we get to the end of the afternoon here, there are localised weather warnings in force, and that rain is going to be pushing further northwards. as we head through saturday night and into sunday. again, falling on saturated ground in some places. still some uncertainty on the timing — low pressure still with us into next week, staying unsettled. bye— bye. thanks. live from london. this is bbc news. the hamas?run health ministry in gaza says more than 7,000 people have now been killed there ? as un agencies warn again, about the consequences of running out of fuel. the israeli military carries out a targeted raid — sending tanks into gaza, to prepare for future operations. the israeli and palestinian ambassadors to the united nations make passionate speeches at an emergency un general assembly. surrey police have arrested the conservative mp crispin blunt on suspicion of rain, and possession of on suspicion of rape, and possession of controlled substances. a gunman described as armed and dangerous is on the loose in the us state of maine ? after killling at least 18 people in a bowling alley.
