the moment we are in. and the moment for a surprise. a replica of the first folio. yes, and this is a present for you from the british library who own the first folio. oh, how amazing. has he signed it? no, he hasn't. sadly not. katie razzall, bbc news. nice present. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. contrasting fortunes today, across parts of eastern england we were struggling with a lot of cloud and it was raining for most of the day in parts of sussex but contrast that with brighter skies across most parts of the country, sunshine but a big shower clouds loitering in northern ireland here. you can trace those clouds notjust into northern ireland and western scotland but all the weights into the atlantic to the greenland and that is coming our way tomorrow is. it will stay pretty unsettled and showery, quite a
6:31 pm
changeable picture. overnight, the majority of the showers are on the west of the uk, rain eventually clearing from the far south—east in the next few hours and we are left with some clear spells and quite a cool night, 3—7, with some clear spells and quite a cool night, 3—7 , but cold enough for a nip of frost in sheltered areas of northern scotland. tomorrow, the majority of the showers start in the west, some sunshine but is but the odd shower just about anywhere through the dates. the most frequent showers in wales and south—west england, when the on the south coast with just into the 40s mph and may the low 50s into the 40s mph and may the low 50s in places and temperatures near average for this time of year, 8-11 . average for this time of year, 8—11 . some showers will be heavy with hail and thunder in the northern half of the uk but on friday, a changeable wind direction and the majority of the showers will be draped around the coast leaving many inland areas dry and sunny. temperatures, no great change, 8—11 for most and perhaps a bit cooler across the far north of scotland. this weekend, a bright start and the
6:32 pm
big question is how quickly this next zone of rain comes in. for the time being it looks like saturday is the best day of the weekend, we might see some rain arriving on sunday. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at six. the news continues here on bbc one, as wejoin our colleagues for the news where you are. have a good evening. hello and welcome to sportsday this wednesday night — live from the bbc sport centre — with me chetan pathak, coming up on the programme. some big hitting from ben stokes brings some respite for england at the cricket world cup — as they get a much needed win in pune. another big night in the champions league — can manchester united and arsenal get the wins they need to boost their chances of reaching the knockout stage? how social media abuse towards him and his family "crossed a line..."
6:33 pm
rugby world cup final referee wayne barnes speaks out. also coming up on sportsday before 7... rugby league legend kevin sinfield reveals all about his toughest challenge so far, as he steps up his campaign for rob burrow and motor neurone disease. ben stokes has delivered for england today. ensuring their disappointing cricket world cup didn't continue to go from bad to worse. looking in trouble at one stage against netherlands, stokes�* first world cup century set england up for a comfortable win in pune, meaning they're off the bottom of the table and can still qualify for the champions trophy at least. it wasn't straight forward today,
6:34 pm
but then when is it? joe wilson reports: they cannot afford to give the whole team contracts, they do not have full international status but the netherlands sensed opportunity. they were playing england. this england. that is joe were playing england. this england. that isjoe root�*s speciality, normally. nothing certain now. the captain, just butlers fell for five, is the well he played through this world cup and it is still baffling. after the ballon early runs, england were then rescued by ben stokes. why is he still in india when he needs an operation? because he can do this. stokes�*s century health england to 339. they felt relief. then, beneath the lights, england bowlers enjoyed the conditions, faint edge, early problems, the netherlands innings. always advice in the pune crowd. all sorts of advice. the dutch had to accelerate, or try. the england feeling without
6:35 pm
perfect but stokes had a strong game. secure. 19—4. moeen ali says england has to move on with younger players. here, his first wicket of the world cup. the spinners ended with three each, here, the cheese became team. jos buttler had all of the time in the world for the final stumping victory by 160 runs. something the climb to the right lower rungs of the table. england far from lower rungs of the table. england farfrom best lower rungs of the table. england far from best of the world, at least he may be the best in europe. joe wilson, bbc news. that victory was only england's second of a tournament in which they've been widely criticised but their captain jos buttler said it showed they're still working hard to perform. everyone has been frustrated. but the guys have stayed tight. everyone has stayed really close and keep
6:36 pm
working hard. in training yesterday quys working hard. in training yesterday guys have properly trained as hard as they have ever suit that shows the england commitment and desire to put things right and get to the lever of player that we have in the squad without having that personal pride in work ethic and determination to put things right when they are not going the way you want. former england bowler steve finn, who retired earlier this year, has been following england's world cup in india. i spoke to him earlier, and started by asking him what he made of today's performance. i think they showed a degree of resilience today. i think it is never easy coming into games such as this, when you are out of the tournament, and it does not feel like there is all much to play for. i think it can be challenging to motivate yourself sometimes, but they managed to muster that up and ben stokes played a fantastic innings, supported by chris woakes and malan and theyjust put in a professional performance which is very important under the

(iii ite: clearly the players have to take responsibility for what has happened. you can get all of the support in the world and the support staff do not go out there on the pitch and play for them. so i think it is quite a personal point that the players have to take responsibility. i think there will be a lot of turnover in players at the end of this world cup. we saw the end of this world cup. we saw the end of this world cup. we saw the end of the world cups tends to be the end of a cycle of a team does badly and regenerating with one eye on the next world cup in 2027. so i would expect a few of the older play is probably not to play odi cricket again at the end of this world cup so there will be a degree of out

6:39 pm
peace into columbia is not an easy task that is because they are in a very remote mountainous jungle on the border with venezuela where there are no highways and have to walk from one place to the other. there is also a distrust from one side to the other where the government does not trust the gorilla and the gorilla do not trust the government so any sort of movement is mediated by distress. but also the guerrilla group, the eln are a organisation which means every decision takes time to be approved by central command. it is a very complicated issue, but what most colombians think is that he will be released today.— most colombians think is that he will be released today. thank you so much for the — will be released today. thank you so much for the update. _ manchester city might be flying in the champions league but after defeats for celtic and newcastle last night — will manchester united and arsenal fare any better this evening? for united, after their terrible start to the season, it's not far off being a must win
6:40 pm
match in copenhagen whilst mikel arteta and arsenal need to put their controversial defeat at newcastle behind them. joe lynskey reports. the champions league's most northerly point is where manchester united want to keep moving forward. copenhagen could to find the outlook of their season. they go there off of their season. they go there off of their season. they go there off of the back of a late win at fulham. this tonight and united face a fight to go through. but three more points and this group could open up. {iii and this group could open up. of course once you get more stable you have a better chance to go on a run and win some games. you have to make it look, of course, when we get ourselves in position of the nets and opportunities, yes we will get more belief. and opportunities, yes we will get more belief-— and opportunities, yes we will get more belief. a, , ., , more belief. more belief what may be is what is needed _ more belief. more belief what may be is what is needed in _ more belief. more belief what may be is what is needed in the _ more belief. more belief what may be is what is needed in the case - more belief. more belief what may be is what is needed in the case of - is what is needed in the case of marcus rashford scoring only once the season in 1a club games and

6:43 pm
hello and welcome to the emirates ahead of a big champions league game for arsenal against sevilla, arsenal know if they win here tonight and results go their way, they could qualify for the round of 16 and the champions league with the game to spare. i'm delighted to have the formal arsenal and defender with me here. it has been a difficult couple of games for arsenal. two defeats in their last few that in all the drama that we saw at seeing his park. that so infuriated mikell arteta but now, chance to move on and perhaps wrap up chance to move on and perhaps wrap up this qualification for the last 16. i up this qualification for the last 16. ., ., , ., 16. i agree and it is a huge opportunity- _ 16. i agree and it is a huge opportunity- at _ 16. i agree and it is a huge opportunity. at home - 16. i agree and it is a huge i opportunity. at home against 16. i agree and it is a huge - opportunity. at home against sevilla who the beat as well. there is a bit of disruption as of late, but you have to say they should get the result here today and put them as such a good position in the groups. the pizza sevilla away away but that
6:44 pm
did not have all their way what sort of test you'd expect from sevilla? it seems quite strange from a spanish team but i think towards the end of the game they threw everything at it and had a lot of commitment all the way through the team especially going for, they got the ball and box pump arsenal under pressure, be different here tonight because he would expect arsenal to dominate a bit more at home but i think they have a good experience size, they could be friend. so a real chance _ size, they could be friend. so a real chance for _ size, they could be friend. so a real chance for arsenal - size, they could be friend. so a real chance for arsenal to put the controversy over the last few days behind them and get back on track. kick off at eight o'clock. join us on five live for full commentary from the emirates. arsenal women's manager jonas eidevall says claims he "bullied" the fourth official during sunday's wsl win over manchester city are "borderline slander". city boss gareth taylor was the one who made the claim — saying he was "protecting" the official because of eidevall�*s behaviour. the arsenal boss insists he did nothing wrong.
6:45 pm
i got really disappointed with the comments because i think they are no personal truth in them. the wording that gareth used after is borderline slander and either he is not very good with the truth or good with the language, but either way i don't think it's acceptable. it's been a busy day of international football news too — as wales, scotland and northern ireland all announced their squads for their upcoming euro 2024 qualfiiers. wales have been boosted by the return of tottenham's brennanjohnson, who missed their qualifiers in october. captain aaron ramsey is still missing for the matches against armenia and turkey — if wales win them both, they'll qualify for next summer's championships. time now for some of the days other sport stories... former wolves and tottenham manager nuno espirito santo has been sacked by saudi pro league champions al—ittihad. they've won six of their 12 league games this season — and sit sixth in the league — 11 points behind leaders al—hilal. the spfl has defended its decision to give rangers more tickets than aberdeen for next month's scottish league cup final. rangers have been given around 5 and a half thousand more tickets
6:46 pm
than their opponents with the spfl saying historic league cup final and semifinal sales and segregation issues were among the factors considered. and oleksandr usyk hopes his unification heavyweight world title fight with tyson fury will take place in february in saudi arabia. the ukrainian was set to fight fury next month — but promoter frank warren said last week that is "unlikely", following fury�*s win against ufc fighter francis ngannou last month. the man who refereed the rugby world cup final between south africa and new zealand last month says "vile" social media abuse towards him and his family "crossed a line" and he wants those responsible to be punished. wayne barnes retired a few days after taking charge of the match in paris. he's been speaking to our sports editor dan roan. bringing down the curtain on one of fred bea's most successful refereeing careers, wayne barnes
