between south africa and new zealand — while, the bronze medal match between england and argentina takes place later. both teams face off in a repeat of their group stage match, and will be looking to finish their tournaments on a positive. england lock maro itoje says the motivation levels in the camp are still high ahead of the clash in paris. we're competing for third place at this world cup, so there's a lot to be motivated about. i guess from their point of view, we beat them earlier, they'll probably want to turn that around. but it's going to be a great contest. it's two top teams going at it, two good teams, two high—quality teams, two teams coming off the back of a loss, wanting to get it right. to the premier league next, where newcastle united boss eddie howe says there is a "high chance" sandro tonali can play against wolves on saturday despite receiving a ten—month ban from football. the 23—year—old was banned by the italian football federation on thursday for breaching betting rules, but the ban is yet to be approved by governing bodies uefa and fifa. howe says he considers tonali available until the ban is confirmed. we've heard the news, speculation statement, but we haven't had anything from the italian authorities at the moment. so we're sort of in limbo, really, waiting for that official confirmation to come through. yes, i think there is a high chance again that he could be available for us. i still think there are a few things that have to happen before the ban is imposed, so let's see. the premier league weekend gets under way later on friday when crystal palace host table—topping tottenham at selhurst park, where the visitors could go five points clear at the top with a win. despite their fantastic start to the season, spurs manager ange postecoglou is trying to manage the expectations for his players. there is a good reason no manager talks about a title in october because there's a long way to go. irrespective of the noise, every game is hard. we need to be fully focused on that, and from our perspective, the lads have been really good at keeping their eyes firmly on what is next. to formula one, where lewis hamilton believes all cars should be checked after races following his disqualification from the us grand prix. the seven—time world champion lost second place in austin due to excessive wear on his car's floor. speaking ahead of this weekend's mexico city grand prix, hamilton insists that more infringments would have come to light if all cars had been checked. i feel like all cars should have been checked, but the likeliness is half of them would have been thrown out. it would have looked worse for the sport. and i think we've got to change it for the future. you can't that we get to race on and do a split race. we have raised in austin for years and never had this issue. just enough time to let you know that england's women are in action later against belgium in the women's nations league. you can read more on that on the bbc sport website. that's all the sport for now. to the us state of maine now, where the huge manhunt for an army reservist suspected of killing 18 people and injuring 13 others in a mass shooting has entered its second day. police say robert card is armed and dangerou. nomia iqbal reports from lewiston. this rural state is in lockdown, as the search for a suspected killer continues. 18 people were gunned down on wednesday, whilst enjoying an evening at the local bowling alley and bar. among them, bob violette, a grandfather who died protecting children at the alley. tricia asselin, who worked there, was also killed. the suspected gunman is robert card, a ao—year—old former army reservist. police have told the public to stay indoors. he should be considered armed and dangerous. based on our investigation, we believe this is someone that should not be approached. as nighttime falls, the search operation continues in the dark. a helicopter is circling the area, and there is a huge police presence surrounding a house behind me. it belongs to the suspected gunman, but there's no confirmation he's inside. however, questions are being asked why a man, known to have mental health issues, was allowed to carry guns. the state has few gun restrictions, but there are yellow flag laws, where only police can remove guns from people who are deemed unsafe. i asked maine's republican senator susan collins if the laws had been used in this case. to my... i don't know that. that's a very good question. last year, you said that maine got it right when it came to yellow flag laws. maine does have a good yellow flag... but if it's true, as we are hearing, that robert card had mental health issues, and he was... the police put him forward for evaluation, you got it wrong. no, i don't know whether there was a report to trigger the yellow flag law. president biden and the democrats want tougher laws. major bipartisan gun safety legislation was passed last year, but he has renewed his calls for assault weapons to be banned. maine was known as one of the safer places in the us, but now it has the unwanted label of the state with the worst mass shooting this year. nomia iqbal, bbc news, maine. there has been another big rise in reports of anti—semitic hate crime in london since the war. the metropolitan police say there have been 408 offences this month so far. and if you compare it to the same period last year, 1st to 27th october — there were 28. six sets of conjoined twins have been brought together for a special gathering at london's great ormond street hospital. the 12 children, who were all born joined to their sibling, visited the hospital with their families to share their experiences. our medical editor, fergus walsh went to meet them. a special day for six very special sets of twins, all born conjoined, and all treated at great ormond street hospital in london. the youngest, zion and zane, aged six months, were separated when just a few weeks old and are not ready yet for pizza. but it was a hit with a i9—month—old annie, here with her sister, izzy, who was more interested in trying to eat the paper. hassan and hussein from cork in ireland have never let physical disability hold them back. one of their many ambitions is to represent ireland at the paralympics. getting up every day, and i could do anything any other child could do. and better. i like basketball cos, like, you canjust clash into people. and it's fast. the 13—year—olds take part in a huge range of sports, including athletics and climbing. they were born joined at the pelvis and were separated when four months old, but it was just the first of multiple surgeries. from the very first scan, at 12 weeks pregnant, given no hope of survival, to see them almost 14 years on, over 60 surgeries later, and you know, that's still ongoing, but to not let that define them. conjoined twins are rare — about one in 500,000 births in the uk. the first successful separation of conjoined twins here at gosh was way back in 1985, and since then, they've cared for 38 sets of twins. but separation is not always possible. mariam on the left and her sister, endai, are seven and live in cardiff. theirfather, ibrahima, and the surgical team at gosh decided separation was just too risky because the girls share so many vital organs. they couldn't be separated because they support each other. so, if you try to separate them, one will certainly not make it after the separation. but possibly also the other twin. by contrast, ruby on the left and rosie were separated when they were just 2a hours old. now 11, the twins from south—east london say they always get the same reaction when they tell people they were once conjoined. what?! they're like, really? because we are separated now and they wouldn't really think that we were conjoined like that as well. are you proud of being conjoined? yes. we obviously do fight a lot, we do scream at each other a lot. we get mad at each other, but then we always still have that bond that we know we'll be sisters forever and we'll other forever, and we'll care for each other forever. all these twins have an enduring connection with gosh, something they and the hospital are happy to celebrate. fergus walsh, bbc news. quite the celebration. you can go to the bbc news website for all the very latest on the israel— gaza war. we have a huge team across the middle east contributing to the live page. to stay with us on bbc news. hello. good afternoon. some very autumnal scenes earlier on this morning, particularly across northern and eastern areas of england with some patches of mist and fog, such as here in sheffield. it's now largely lifted and cleared. it won't be quite so much of a problem overnight tonight or indeed for the next few days because the winds are set to pick up. there'll also be some more heavy downpours of rain, generally staying very unsettled. and if we take a look at the rainfall accumulation chart, through the weekend and into monday, you can see the area of most concern again is eastern scotland with another 50 to 100 millimetres of rain, especially over the higher ground. of course, all of this falling on already saturated ground. that rain just feeding through in a constant stream of showers on the south—easterly wind for the rest of today. also some heavy, frequent, even thundery showers across eastern areas of northern ireland could possibly cause some issues here. some showers further south, but also some more sunshine developing from the south by the end of the day. top temperatures 10 to 15 degrees celsius, a little lower than they were yesterday for most. overnight tonight, again, we've got this constant feed of showers into eastern areas of scotland. still some more showers across northern ireland. we'll start to see heavy, more persistent showers start to approach the south coast of england, where also the winds are set to pick up into tomorrow morning. it's mild and it's frost—free as we begin the weekend. now, we look towards the south coast on saturday morning. again, some heavy, thundery showers always likely. some strong, gusty winds of around 50 miles an hour, perhaps, in places. windy, too, across the north of scotland. the rain continues towards the east. heavy, persistent rain approaching the south—west of england and wales by the time we get to the end of the day on saturday. some of that rain likely to be very heavy across south—east england, too. another sign of autumn, the clocks due to go back by one hour on saturday night into sunday. now, as we head through saturday evening, then that rain will gradually push its way further northwards across to southern scotland, northern england and northern ireland. this is how we'll begin sunday morning. some showers feeding in towards the south, but also some sunshine. blustery conditions. that rain perhaps moving further northwards as we head through the day on sunday. temperatures again generally between ten and 15 degrees celsius for most, but staying very unsettled, possibly turning stormy too through the middle part of next week. bye—
