assistant chief constable kerrin wilson is the only senior woman of colour in england and wales. i only had two 0—levels, certainly didn't have a background in policing and some of my family members were probably more on the other side of the tracks to policing. memories of policing as a child in the area i grew up were all about white men. the service has moved on massively and you can make the service a brilliant career. it's just not good enough in this day and age really to have so few senior role models. but tia is already a role model for her six—year—old son. the very first day i went home with that uniform he was proud as punch and he was so happy to stick it on and say, mummy, this is what i want to do. and that is the next generation. the rescue services in scotland have praised a ten—year—old boy who scrambled down a ravine in argyll to help his mother after she slipped and fell more than 300 feet. the boy managed to ring for help and was able to tell paramedics where she had fallen on the mountain. james shaw reports. in darkness and harsh weather, a rescue

northern shores of wales as well. that front is going to ta ke wales as well. that front is going to take the crowd and rain, hurrah horror, away. a sunday. what it will also do is drag any prospect of matching the 18 celsius in kent today, yes, as high as that. we start from a pretty chilly base. brown spots. grey skies for that with you longer tonight because the court, you will remember, going to go back by one hour. clear skies mean we will have frost in the proceedings for monday morning but look at that, at last, england, wales, much of northern ireland, southern scotland, dry, fine, sunny and chilly. northern parts of scotland, you've still got the event, still the odd cost around 50 mph. plenty showers there, one or two for the north of northern ireland, one or two for the north west of england. forget all about the 18, high in the south, no more than 12 or 13 degrees. having had so much rain, it was the face of autumn. start of next week it will be drier, there will be a greater chance of sunshine but it will be noticeably colder, both by day and by ni

the cloud for enough across england and wales for the shower. scotland and wales for the shower. scotland and northern ireland, clearer skies. a frosty site in aberdeenshire, but through the afternoon the cloud will thicken in the west and that will start to mean we have a weather front coming our way. a few showers and gusty winds. for england, wales, some holes developing in the cloud but still some showers in the south—east replacing the earlier rain. the temperature today at nine to 14, possibly 15 in lengthy spells of sunshine. through this evening and overnight, a weatherfront advances across the northern and western isles, the far north of scotland, bringing rain, gusty winds. quite a bit of cloud around but where it breaks that is where we will see fab patches forming. —— fog patches. it may be dense and problematic across the south of the country. a chilly at night this coming night compared to the one just gone, except across the north of scotland, where it will be milder. tomorrow, we will see the fog lifted into low cloud for some. for others it will break. a fe

but wales are a side of remarkable resilience, and back they came. commentator: world cup semifinal try! josh adams giving their fans fresh hope. suddenly, it was 16—16. what drama! with less than five minutes to go, a penalty to south africa, and pollard held his nerve. it had not been pretty from the springboks, but it was enough and, while they celebrated, for wales, the dream was once again dashed, a third world cup semifinal defeat and desperate disappointment. gutted, it could have gone either way. i went to the euros in lyon and we lost that as well! fingers crossed one day we will get there. agonisingly close for wales, but for their fans, it won't be much consolation. it is south africa who will face england here next weekend in the world cup final. lewis hamilton won the mexican grand prix, but he'll have to wait at least another week to seal his 6th formula one world title, as patrick geary reports. flying in formation works by carefully coordinating your speed. to win the title in mexico lewis hamilton had to think very differently. he

whereas further south, although there will be a lot of cloud across england and wales, there could be quite a bit of dry weather too. the top temperature of 17 degrees. but through thursday night, it stays quite blustery. further heavy showers, longer spells of rain across the north—west of the country. and then we will start to see some more persistent rain pushing to parts of england and wales by the end of the night. you notice temperatures 12—14 in the south. turning much milder. temperatures nine or 10 the overnight low for scotland and northern ireland. the reason for the wet weather as we head on into friday and, indeed, into the weekend, is this weather front which will be pretty much part across england and wales, we think, and it is going to bring a lot of rainfall throughout friday. tending to pile up into the hills of wales, perhaps the north midlands, and northern england, particularly across the peak district. particularly across the peak district. 50—70 millimetres of rain by the time the day is out, so that could cause some issues, atrocious conditions on the roa

they are feeding into towards wales and south—west england. but notice this spell of rain on the east coast of scotland. it looks very wet here this afternoon and into tonight. in aberdeen 10—20 millimetres. in southern england there are very gusty winds, it may be up to 55 miles an hour in exposed spots, but not many showers across the eastern side of england, and temperatures in the mid to low teens. tonight it swirls around this area of low pressure, the showers area of low pressure, the showers are mainly in the south—west and in scotland. temperatures go down to single figures. maybe the odd folk patch around. we are on to the weekend, it is still low pressure, but it is not a wash—out. a spell of rain in scotland moves into northern england, taking some showers into northern ireland. one or two showers, not as many as recently, and there is an northerly wind developing across the northern part of the uk, but still 15 in southern england. low pressure into sunday is moving away into the north sea. close to that there will be a few s

penalty, he made no mistake, 19—16 up, and wales had run out of time. south africa through, they will have a chance for a third world cup triumph if they can be england next weekend, england will start as favourites in that match after the way they outplayed new zealand, but welsh dreams of a first—ever world cup final have been dashed and along with it their hopes of giving their legendary coach, the sendoff they were hoping they would give him. he is now of course got one more match to look forward to in the third and fourth play—off in new zealand in tokyo on friday night, but it is south africa who go through to the final against england. liverpool needed two second—half goals to come from behind to beat tottenham at anfield to restore their six—point lead at the top of the premier league table. after harry kane gave spurs the lead after just 47 seconds, liverpool captain jordan henderson equalised six minutes after half time. mo salah completed the comeback. liverpool have equalled the premier league record of 28 points after the first 10 f

turning damp and pretty murky for many parts of england and wales and northern ireland. still a cold come across the north and east of scotla nd cold come across the north and east of scotland in particular, was some clear spells. but on friday, low pressure firmly in control. a much cloudier day for most, without pics of them. one thing you will notice, it will be much milder, winds coming in from the south—west. so a grey day, outbreaks of rain spreading northwards and eastwards across the country. perhaps a drier slot following on behind, but it will stay quite mischievous hill fog around, and then the next batch of rain moves into western areas, which could be quite heavy. 13 to maybe 16 celsius across the cell. this is the area of low pressure i was talking about which will bring the stormy speu about which will bring the stormy spell through saturday, we think. that could bring some disruption, along with that, some very heavy and persistent rain hitting parts of wales and england as we head through the course of the day. some very wet weather across northern and

wales are the latest team through to the quarter—finals of the rugby world cup injapan. but they had to go through a real battle to get there. they were pushed all the way by a ferocious fiji side in oita. eventually coming through as 29—17 winners, thanks to a hat—trick from wing josh adams. our correspondent, katie gornall, watched the action. wales always knew that fiji could be dangerous opponents so they were given a real scare, it was a thrilling game. wells had ten days to prepare for this game against fiji, they ran down insidejust four this game against fiji, they ran down inside just four minutes, this game against fiji, they ran down insidejust four minutes, with joshua, the man they call... he was more like a runaway train when he scored fiji's first try, and fiji wasted no time scoring their second, that came just minutes later, so whales were really, at this point, fiji looking at threat, must every time they went forward. but whales did manage to regroup. josh adams scores two tries before the break to get them back on track. they took a narrow lead in

heavy showers packing in across wales and south—west england. something a bit drier in scotland, but‘s also a bit colder, and there are still a few showers around as well. it's just that they're not as angry. now, through the rest of tuesday, what will happen is these heavy showers and thunderstorms across wales and south—west england that we'll have to start off the day, they'll tend to push eastward with time across the midlands into east anglia and south—east england. these showers, well, they could bring around 30—110 mm of rain injust the space of a few hours. so, given that the ground is completely saturated, that rain could cause some localised surface water flooding problems and some quite nasty conditions out on the roads. apart from those heavy downpours, though, it is relatively mild in the south, with temperatures up to 19 degrees. but notice the green colours for northern england, northern ireland and scotland as the air continues to get colder. yes, there'll be some sun, and a few showers for northern scotland. now, overnig
