cyclogenesis, period of explosive cyclogenesis, pressure falling rapidly, the system are strengthening and the wind is increasing. you can see that swirl of cloud around the storm, an indication of a maturing system. we are seeing wet and windy weather approaching. the rain moves away from scotland, clearer skies in northern ireland, so a risk off ostia. let's focus on the wet and windy weather. the strongest windows along southern flank of the storm. —— strongest wind is. quite a small area of southern england covered by the amber warning. stronger wind will push through the channel and arrive on coastal areas in the south—east, during the morning and into tomorrow afternoon. conditions will be worse through the english channel, along the coast of northern france and into the channel islands, with gusts of over 90 mph. very big waves as well. some disruptive weather for southern areas. quite windy across other parts of the uk. not so much for the midlands, many places will see showers and longer

spells of rain. we may miss the worst of that across northern ireland. temperatures are largely irrelevant, ten or 12 degrees, the focus is on the wind in the south which will be easing in the south—west during tomorrow afternoon. that's because the storm is going to move away and it will start to weaken. so the wind will drop, the storm heads out into the north sea for friday. the weather is not going to be quite so bad. it is not going to be quite so bad. it is not going to be quite so bad. it is not going to be as windy, it is not going to be as wet. there will be some sunshine and showers coming on as well. perhaps longer spells of rain continuing across eastern scotland under north—east of england. again, temperatures probably going to be sitting around 1113 celsius. good evening. hello and welcome to sportsday this wednesday night, coming up on the programmee. england in dissaray —

david willey says he'll walk away from international cricket after the world cup — after not being offered a new contract ifind it staggering i find it staggering that 29 contracts playing within the start, the last three games he is doing well, in the present world cup, has not been given a contract. and we'll be at old trafford where manchester united will be hoping there season doesn't go from bad to worse tonight — with newcastle the visitors in the league cup london lions say their basketball game against israel's hapoel tel aviv will take place with an increased police presence in london following safety concerns, you'll hear from the lions coach also coming up on sportsday before 7. we meet lizzi jordan, six years after food poisoning changed her life forever, she's now dreaming of a place at next summer's paralympics in paris

three days out from facing australia and with their hopes of making the semi finals hanging by a thread — england's problems continue to mount at the cricket world cup. the defence of their trophy is almost over with five defeats from six — and the sense of dissaray continues today — with bowler david willey — who's been one of their better players at the tournament — announcing he'll retire after not being offered a new contract last week. the ecb's decision to hand contracts out mid—tournament, and the way willey�*s been treated, has been called a disgrace by former captain michael vaughan: ifind it staggering i find it staggering that first and foremost, i did not agree with them announcing the contract negotiations had not been complete prior to them

and should of kept it to the end of the tournament because he is a huge player. 29 contracts yet a player who is probably one of the only players performing in the world cup like david will eat. it staggering that they give up 29 contracts he had a player who is at the start of the 11th for the past three games doing well in the present world cup is not been given a contract and i feel for david willey and i completely understand ways made this decision today because i feel he is completely undervalued and he had a part of play in england going forward and is see in the t20 world cup, debatable but he is in the best 2022 players come absolutely and only an entry or two away from being the sounding players and i feel for him and i believe they got it wrong in terms of the contracts.-

in terms of the contracts. saying that ou in terms of the contracts. saying that you will _ in terms of the contracts. saying that you will retire _ in terms of the contracts. saying that you will retire from - that you will retire from international cricket after this world cup? i international cricket after this world cup?— international cricket after this world cu - ? , ~ , world cup? i 'ust think he feels undervalued — world cup? ijust think he feels undervalued and _ world cup? ijust think he feels undervalued and that _ world cup? ijust think he feels undervalued and that comfort l world cup? i just think he feels - undervalued and that comfort blanket of a contract, he has none that comfort blanket of england looking after them in the none of the players side and ensures that england players and part of england's team which brings quite a lot of money and impartiality. he does not feel valued so, the only way to deal with that is to announce his retirement and i think it's very sad because i believe he's got a little bit more to offer, particularly with the world cup coming in a few months' time. handing out these contracts and what do you think that thinking is in terms of the timing? i do you think that thinking is in terms of the timing?— do you think that thinking is in terms of the timing? i 'ust think the not terms of the timing? i 'ust think they get it h terms of the timing? i 'ust think they get it wrong _ terms of the timing? i 'ust think they got it wrong and h terms of the timing? i just think they got it wrong and i always i they got it wrong and i always believe in teams to get to clear out and when players are to whisper to one another�*s and they'll say that they haven't been to many of the

contracts are sorted for the world cup and probably wear but if you were not and that is why they had to delay the announcement of all the contracts and ben stokes, he was offered a three—year deal and they only signed one year and i would like to know why he wasn't willing to commit for three years and wasn't financial, not too sure. but it is a set of the start, if you didn't get the contract negotiations for everybody sorted at the start of the world cup, we will leave it to the end of the world cup and left a tour around now and those contracts, and the performance level some of these individual players.— individual players. confidence on the floor for _ individual players. confidence on the floor for that _ individual players. confidence on the floor for that site _ individual players. confidence on the floor for that site out - individual players. confidence on the floor for that site out in - the floor for that site out in india, where is team morale and at the moment, do you think? lorre the moment, do you think? low because none — the moment, do you think? low because none of— the moment, do you think? low because none of the _ the moment, do you think? ii_f7"1-\”r" because none of the players are in form and we have a whole group that loses their confidence in the

performance. this is a fantastic group of players and have been given seven years of absolute dominance in cricket and for whatever reason and at the culmination of many things, the for your preparation into this world cup has been completely different and completely different playing in the uk, playing in australia, and this world cup and being a right on the night, and that's not been the case and what i do not buy into this derivative in the dressing room and the steamer together they're almost too nice to each other and before that to galvanise and get it going because seeing the whitehall team, they're very close set of players and then with themselves to blame in many aspects of the structure back in the

uk in cricket, and the last 20 years, it is cricket and a huge amount of success and those players who have run all those trophies and t20 world cup in tournaments. and it's the players that must take the blame for how they have performed so badly. another line to bring you ahead of england australia at the weekend — glenn maxwell will be missing for the aussies after, falling off the back of a golf buggy and suffering a concussion during a round of golf earlier this week. last year you might remember he broke his leg in a freak accident at a birthday party. maxwell's scored 196 runs at the world cup so far — including a 40—ball century last week against the netherlands — the fastest ton in tournament history. he's also taken four wickets with his off—spin. australia say they hope he'll

be able to play again later in the tournament, with cameron green or fellow all—rounder marcus stoinis expected to be recalled. the springboks might not end up being the only south africa side coming home with a world cup after their win over new zealand in france — it's been a cricket world cup to remember so far for south africa too. they're closing in on a place in the semi finals after a thumping win over new zealand by 190 runs in pune today, a result that puts them top of the table for now asjoe wilson reports: from paris, south africa play into this world cup sport against new zealand. quentin made his 400 of this competition in new zealand looked depleted from injuries. and hitting five sixes in his 133, closer look at this one in catching hands could not grasp it in new zealand pushed to their limits and that ball is beyond the boundary. david miller hit south africa 77th

of the tournament and weeks from the final and they chose to bat second in this match and to win, 841 when devon conway was caught in new zealand were at 167 all out and the defeat and scale of it with consequences for net run leaves them vulnerable in the top four and with world cup confidence. they've lost seven in all competions — tonight manchester united will try to stop their season going from bad to worse when they play newcastle in the fourth round of the league cup. it's a repeat of last season's final, which erik ten hag's side won, but they've been unable to build on that success thereafter. for the visitors at old trafford tonight, there's a chance for revenge but newcastle manager eddie howe is expecting a very tough game:

there are a top team and top players and no doubt, possibly they will rotate the squad and team end to get the team sheet, i think one of the key tests is how you respond to setbacks and we had when he can store them in and that the use of the response of the weekend and a really good game against them i think that's were looking to do when you're in the managers position. that's eddie howe with how newcastle are feeling. what about manchester united. nesta mcgregor is at old trafford for us. after that 3—0 defeat to man city at the weekend — fresh questions asked about ten hag and more disgruntlement towards the owners — how big a game does this feel like for united there tonight? nesta bearing in mind newcastle's long wait for a domestic trophy, nearly 70 years ago, this isn't a game they'll be taking lightly? will make it doesn't seem that long ago that manchester united might

have felt like they could've given their young playerfor have felt like they could've given their young player for start for the club it doesn't seem like that is a luxury they currently have. we're expecting the team and just an hour but certainly, there will be naming a pretty strong team on and off the field and turmoil in manchester united the season will be desperate for something positive to shout about the result against newcastle could do it exactly and the cup is a distraction and listening to fans at trafford, it's a very scientific survey, but did hear someone talking about giving a ticket away for the game and the guy says no but he says i will not be in bed until midnight at the good been very different given a few years ago in manchester united were winning.—

as well and in the previous round, we speak to players and managers, document the highlights in winning a trophy and win tonight will do something to end that long wait. thank you very much. five other games in efl cup tonight, west ham arsenal at the london stadium. the winners from two years ago, liverpool are at bournemouth. chelsea will want to avoid yet another home defeat when they face blackburn, sean dyche's everton play his former side burnley and ipswich, flying high in the championship, are at home to fulham. an inquest has heard today that sir bobby charlton died after an accidental fall at a care home for patients with dementia. sir bobby's life has been celebrated by fans across football since his death last month, including at old trafford where with manchester united he won three league titles,

a european cup and an fa cup. the hearing was told sir bobby lost his balance as he stood up from his chair, striking a window sill and "possibly a radiator." the coroner concluded his death was accidental. the football association says it is writing to clubs advising that players should avoid the phrase "from river to the sea" in social media posts — words often interpreted as supportive of palestinian nationalism and which critics say implies the destruction of israel. the guidance comes after leicester city's hamza choudhury apologised for using the phrase in a post about the israel—gaza conflict. the former england under—21 international has now deleted it and says his intention had simply been, in his words, to "show compassion for the innocent people that are suffering." next tonight, a eurocup basketball game between london lions

and israeli giants hapoel tel aviv will take place with an increased police presence in london tomorrow night, and in front of a restricted crowd. the game was supposed to be played in israel but because of the conflict with hamas, has been switched to england. hapoel have won three out of three at the start of the season. i've been speaking to the lions coach petar bozic — and started by asking him about the safety concerns: yes, i'm not the right person for that. forthat? yes, i'm not the right person for that. for that? answer because i did not participate in those conversations and they will play two less games and in hamburg last week and so, i cannot say that the power of the spirit was behind that decision. ., . , of the spirit was behind that decision. ., ., , ., , . of the spirit was behind that decision. ., . decision. how has it affected your preparation. _ decision. how has it affected your preparation, now— decision. how has it affected your preparation, now it _ decision. how has it affected your preparation, now it is _ decision. how has it affected your preparation, now it is happening l decision. how has it affected your. preparation, now it is happening and what is the mood been like for you and the players? irate what is the mood been like for you and the players?— what is the mood been like for you and the players? we prepare for the like any other—

staying with cycling — dutch riderjeffrey hoogland has made history by smashing the men's 1km time trial world record by almost a second. the current world champion posted a time of 55.433 seconds, beating francois pervis' record from 2013. hoogland clocked the time in a velodrome known for its fast track and favourable altitude conditions in mexico. the 30—year—old, who had to be helped off his bike by netherlands national coach mehdi kordi, took on extra oxygen afterfinishing, saying it hurts everywhere. as soon as the gate open and you're going out of it, it's almost like the first, every pedal stroke and how to follow it up and go step—by—step and the progress and the acceleration in the third lap is holding on and i remember after the third met by train to get some deep reaction and i tried to go in and

out. and i do like two or three and then i went into that for the last turn and it didn't do anything, it was almost like, i need to hold on in this last lap and when i stopped, it was under my helmet into my head blew up in my legs, they were in crazy pain they cannot do a lot and so, i realise what i had done yesterday and it feels just amazing and i reached what i wanted and to really get it through me, i needed a few more days. and finally tonight, this week we're previewing the contenders for the bbc women's footballer of the year. it's been an incredible 12 months for the game — not least the world cup in australia and new zealand. today's nominee is the sweden and barcelona player fridolina rolfo. here's why she's on the short list:

been officially included in the collins online dictionary. named after england's test coach brendon mccullum its defined as "a style of test cricket in which the batting side attempts to gain the initiative by playing in a highly aggressive manner." sadly not been too much bazball on show from the one day side though. that's all from sportsday. hello. storm ciaran is explosively developing as we speak. the satellite picture shows this rapidly intensifying area of low pressure continuing to take shape and race towards our shores. it's this that will bring some very strong winds to our neck of the woods. now, the met office have issued a couple of amber wind warnings across southern england. gusts of wind 70 or 80 miles an hour, strong enough to bring down some trees in a few places, so we could see some disruption.

but the strongest winds will be heading across the north—west of france and the channel islands. gusts of wind over 100 miles an hour, strong enough to rip roofs off buildings, whereas across parts of southern england, the winds are going to be kind of the strength you're going to see lots of times this autumn and winter season. so there'll be a large variance in the winds from place to place, even over a relatively short distance. today, while broadly speaking, it's a day of sunny spells and showers, the quiet before the storm. we do have some longer spells of rain in northern scotland where it continues to be quite cold. so overnight that storm ciaran, moves in, and the fierce, violent winds come behind this cold front in a conveyor belt of damaging winds that transfers across the north—west of france to the channel islands with winds gusting over 100 miles an hour in places. roofs get ripped off buildings for one or two places. lots of trees being brought down. so i'm expecting some severe transport disruption and disruption to power supplies as well. now, the winds could also bring impacts to devon and cornwall.

and as we go through the day, the winds will tend to pick up once again into parts of kent and sussex. ferries are likely to be affected with delays and cancellations, but in the centre of the low pressure, it's actually not going to be that windy. so just bear that in mind, the strong winds aren't for everyone. now, heading into friday, the storm system works its way into the north sea. it's weakening rapidly by this stage. so it's still quite a windy kind of day, but no impacts really expected. what will continue to happen, though, is we'll continue to see further outbreaks of rain. and the rain both through thursday and friday could tip the balance and bring some further localised flooding for some of our communities, given how wet the weather has been during october. now, beyond that, through saturday and sunday, it stays unsettled with showers or some longer spells of rain. so again, there could be a few flooding issues and again,

the winds are likely to pick up, i think, as we go into sunday as well. that's the latest. bye for now. live from london. this is bbc news. 76 injured palestinians and more than 320 foreign passport holders are now reported to have crossed

into egypt from gaza the first people to leave since israel's siege began. this crossing should be open for everybody in gaza. another large air strike hits jabalia in northern gaza a day after dozens were killed there. the un's humanitarian chief says the war has entered an even more terrifying phase. back in the uk, severe weather warnings as a major storm sweeps in towards the british isles. people in the channel islands have been told to brace for worse weather than i have seen in 35 years. gusts up than i have seen in 35 years. gusts up to 100 miles an hour are expected. gusts up to 100 miles an hour are expected. and the uk announces a "world first agreement" on how to manage the riskiest forms of artificial intelligence, as it

hosts a major ai safety summit.
