team the film of the amazing scotland career 123 cups over a 15 year period and you saw the scotland team the scot women's team transition from just having a 104 professional players like yourself to a very powerful squad in the world's top 20 as is no whole host satisfying was it to see that development of the side. definitely it's all about growth over the years and from when i came in those me and julie flee in there as they were the only ones playing professionally and the thing with all this laced up movida and that continued that light cushion and to get a woman's funds and potion and intimate and chain more to invest more than in the fall down and i think now you can see the fruition of that shellac has got the benefit of nearly everybody in the squad being professional and the course we can all get better as a nation the more that we chain them all that in professional vitamins that man say no and clubs like that going to propel the national team forward and has done that so and also goes future generations thanks aspire to because now you can go one can play pool this is onl

there is what will scotland do next? there is sometimes a lot of talk about a four nations approach, but as nicola sturgeon also pointed out this morning, scotland does seem to be doing better than other parts of the uk at the moment. because of tough restrictions that have been in place. particularly in the central belt. so she has said that things do seem belt. so she has said that things do seem to be flattening out in a number of cases, the cases are not rising as much as they thought they might be. she also said that one of the things she would be thinking about would be financial support. if scotla nd about would be financial support. if scotland does remain in step with england, would that financial support only be available then or if scotla nd ta kes support only be available then or if scotland takes a different position and possibly goes into lockdown at a later date, with financial support be available for scotland then? so i think there's a lot to think about for the scottish government. the eyes a re for th

and the rest of scotla nd restricted scotland and the rest of scotland to try to get the virus under control. why are you being so tough on the hospitality sector? there is nothing for example about schools, universities, travel... we look at the information or contact tracers received from individuals who test positive, and a substantial amount of that contact relates back to household visiting and also to hospitality sittings. what we are trying to do is to recognise that we have to take steps to address the situations where people are meeting together in sizeable numbers which is where the virus appears to be spreading. and as a consequence of that, we are taking very targeted measures to try and ensure that we tackled the areas where the virus is essentially finding its growth opportunities and to tackle them as effectively as we possibly can do. in the 16 days that pubs and restau ra nts in the 16 days that pubs and restaurants are closed across the central belt of scotland, what will the scottish government be doing to make sure that there isn't another upsurge in infections on

behind it quite a clea ra nce scotland. behind it quite a clearance so an improving picture across wales, central and southern england, may be cloudy and drizzly along the coasts here and still a windy day but the heaviest of the rain across north—west england and south—west scotland, widespread gusts in excess of a0 miles an hour, is possibly stronger, 50, close to 60 on exposed coasts as well but temperatures should be at 16 degrees, slightly above average for the time of year, and the rain will start to ease away out of scotland. it will leave a trail of showers following on behind. we've got this wet weather continuing to drift into wales, but just look at the temperatures overnight minimums of low to mid teams, incredible for this time of year. i'll start to friday, we have the rain through wales and south—west england which has to clear across the channel coast. it will do so, slowly brightening up into north wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland. a few scattered showers into scotland and top te

how was it working in scotland? they have been some tighter restrictions brought in but actually in many cases coronavirus cases are still going up. i think that it is a complex picture everywhere across the world and certainly scotland is not any different in that regard. i think some things are certainly different. i think it is helpful and welcome to the population in scotland that the first minister every day appears in front of them and let them know what is happening on the way it is happening, which i think it is absolutely critical because it is a very challenging time for all of us, it isa very challenging time for all of us, it is a challenging time for people in all of our communities, and they do absolutely need to and deserved to understand why restrictions are being put in place and to understand more about the progress of this disease. i can't speak for the more about the progress of this disease. i can't speakfor the first minister because i don't know exactly what she's going to say when she speaks

patchy rain heading eastwards across scotland. rain in the morning over the cumbrian fells and the pennines, lighter rain moving east into eastern england in the afternoon. after that rain, we get sunshine. showers continuing in west of scotland and northern ireland. 11 degrees or 15 in the south—east before the rain arrives. over the weekend, very unsettled. a band of rain followed by sunshine and showers. windy especially on saturday. a dry start with sunshine across the midlands and east of england, wet weather pushing east steadily through the day. the rain could be heavier on saturday. followed by sunshine and showers for scotland and northern ireland. a windy day with strong, gale force winds. for a while, gusting 60 miles an hourfrom the irish sea into the north—west of scotland. temperatures fairly similar for many parts of the country, some warmer air for east anglia and the south ahead of the rain arriving at the end of the day. that weather front pushes the rain south—east overnight. it will clear away. but we sti

let's start in glasgow with our scotland editor, sarah smith. as you say, there are now less than 48 hours left during which you can enjoy a drink inside licensed premises anywhere in scotland. nicola sturgeon, the first minister, had warned tougher measures were needed and, with today's announcement, the hospitality industry is worried about closures and job losses and the rest of us are concerned about where we can go to see family and friends. there won't be any of that this weekend. there will be no drinking inside bars and restaurants in scotland for over a fortnight. the news that no one wanted to hear from a politician who knows this will be unpopular, but she says short, sharp measures are required. without them there is a very real risk, presiding officer, that the virus will run out of control by the end of this month. but with them we hope to slow down its spread and that will help us keep schools and businesses, including hospitality buisnesses open over the winter and fundamentally it will save also lives. it's an announcement that

scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, urged people to comply with scotland's current restrictions and said people should not travel to or from england unless essential. wales is already a week into a lockdown. northern ireland's schools will reopen as planned on monday and current restrictions will end a week on friday as planned. in recent weeks in england, the government's focus has been on a regional response to the virus. that, it seems, is about to radically change. chris mason, bbc news. just before i return to chris mason, let me bring you the latest figures we have had on the number of cases. the uk government's and their public health agencies have recorded 21,915 cases in the 2a hours to saturday. that is a modest fall off on the 21,405 in the 24 hours to friday. and those figures are the latest we have. we do of course get a uk wide figure at some point soon. the number of deaths, and this is the otherfigure we number of deaths, and this is the other figure we have received, number of deaths, and this is the otherfigure we have received, the number of deaths in the 24 h

still some further heavy rain, though, on tuesday across northern scotland. quite a strong easterly wind, here. whereas, elsewhere, mild winds coming in from the south with sunshine and a few showers. but it looks like some prolonged downpours coming back into northern ireland and parts of scotland during the day. it looks to be the windiest day on tuesday. some gales through the irish sea. the mildest day, too. look at this. 18 celsius in hull on tuesday. but then again it is going to be pretty blustery and you may catch a shower. tuesday night into wednesday, eventually the rain is going to ease from scotland and northern ireland. but we are going to see another area of rain pushing into particularly central and eastern parts of england, though wales could see a bit of rain, too. and some of this is going to be quite heavy as well with brisk winds associated with that. still mild to the south, turning a little bit cooler across scotland and northern ireland. so it is all change in our weather this week. there will be rain, some heavy rain at times, and wind

it is not specifically scotland. listening to radio earlier today, there is more bad news for our industry about to come out from the westminster garment. the governments have to get together and put together a sector specific support package to see us through this crisis well into the first, second quarter as of next year and beyond. willie mcleod and paul mcdonough, thank you both very much indeed for your time. first minister nicola sturgeon said the restrictions were "intended to be short, sharp action to arrest a worrying increase in infection". let's speak now to linda bauld, professor of public health at the university of edinburgh. we spoke to yesterday before we knew what was going to happen. what do you make of these restrictions, the fa ct you make of these restrictions, the fact that it is 16 days, how much impact do you think it will have? it's a very complex set of new rules that i think people will struggle to understand. willie and paul have made some excellent points about the impact on their sector.

over the north—west of scotland it'll be very windy. temperatures on the cooler side again, single figures across the north of scotland, the low teens for much of england and wales. heading into the weekend, it stays u nsettled, into the weekend, it stays unsettled, low pressure bringing a widespread windy day, gales on saturday, spells of heavy rain. mild on saturday and things turn cooler again on sunday. this is bbc news. i'm simon mccoy. the headlines — south yorkshire will face the toughest covid rules from saturday — pubs and bars which don't serve food will close — and there are tight restrictions on households mixing. the prime minister says there will be money for greater manchester. the mayor of greater manchester was offered a further £60 million, which he turned down, mr speaker, with no encouragement i may say to support from the honourable gentleman, so i can tell the house today that that cash will be distributed to the boroughs of greater manchester. labour accuse him of pitching region against region. i really th

it turns wetter across scotland. largely dry for northern ireland, and after the rain clears, we could get sunshine in the afternoon for the south east of england, giving temperatures a boost. but underneath the cloud and rain, it's a chilly 11—13 degrees. and that rain is going to be heavy at times, especially over the hills. we do have amber rain warnings from the met office for later on saturday into saturday night. there could be more than two inches of rain actually over the higher ground here. and further north, as well, another area that's likely to have some flooding, the north east of scotland. a lot of rain especially over the hills blown in off the north sea around our area of low pressure. and as we move into the second half of the weekend, the centre of the low is going to be sitting slap bang over the uk. so, we've got the stronger winds probably around the edges where we have this rain. that rain should move away from the north east of scotland in the morning. the wetter weather not far away from nor

same too in western scotland. heavy rain spreading eastwards across scotland into northern western england and across wales through much of the day, strengthening winds out towards the west, even though the sunshine will come out. lighter winds further east. but even those winds are light and come from a southwesterly direction. cold—feeling day across parts of the midlands with the rain could feel around eight, nine degrees after that fresh start, maybe east anglia southeast waiting until we get to the night—time hours before that rain gradually arrives. but around the weather front, notice as we go through monday night low pressure develops that delays its departure. and if anything, curls, cloud and rain back round it. so we're going to see loads of cloud outbreaks of rain spin its way southwards and westwards to go through the day. and tuesday, probably wettest towards the south east corner, brightening up in scotland and northern ireland before —— but for all, a north—easterly wind will start to dev

still raining at times in scotland on tuesday, especially in the north. elsewhere, some sunshine and showers, heavy and possibly thundery, especially in the west on what will be a blustery day. but again with that wind direction, it will be a milder day. 18 degrees celsius is possible. temperatures trail off again as we go through the rest of the week, but it does stay wet at times. more heavy rain potentially across southern areas as we go in into wednesday in, and then showery to the end the week. that's your forecast. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 8. the number of covid—related deaths in the uk in the last 2a period rises to 150, with more than 16,000 new coronavirus infections recorded. millions of people adjust to tighter coronavirus restrictions in england but there's still a stalemate over greater manchester. french police say samuel paty, the history teacher who was beheaded in a suspected islamist attack, had been threatened for several days. a landside election victory for new zealand's, jacinda ardern, widely praised f

there were frequent showers in the far north of scotland. look at argyll and bute at the moment, looks a perfect day for messing about on the water with just some fairweather cloud. yesterday's showers have moved off with that area of low pressure into scandinavia. we are starting to see this influence of high pressure, albeit briefly, as the weather front comes in later, but it basically means today will be a quieter story, a few scattered showers running down the north sea coast slightly, and a few scattered showers across wales and south—west england. lighter winds from a northerly direction, so not a warm source, temperatures may well struggle, but i suspect in sheltered areas where we see the best of the sunshine we might see 15 or 16 degrees, noticeably cooler along the east coast. as we move out of sunday afternoon, we will start to see that cloud and rain gathering from the west, so western fringes of scotland, northern ireland, seeing some wetter weather through the night. cloudier weather ahead of it, but we could see more across

on tuesday, still some further heavy rain in northern scotland, further heavy showers elsewhere in scotland and northern ireland. a few elsewhere on this brisk south—southwesterly wind. but that flow of air will bring some milder weather in, particularly into england and wales, where some will reach towards the high teens. temperatures trail off again later in the week. as the week goes on, there will be further spells of rain clearing to showers to end the week. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sima kotecha. our headlines today: police in england are to be allowed to access some of the details of people who've been told to self—isolate by the nhs test and trace system. gatherings are to be held across france today after the murder of a teacher in a terrorist attack. britain's high streets under threat as a record number of shops close over the first six months of this year. winning it for rob burrow. leeds rhinos are inspired to victory in the challenge cup by theirformer star. it is said to be a mother mostly cloudy and chilly day to

is place in scotland, would you support that for scotland? is it a good idea? obviously our first minister will make those decisions on the information but as you say more than half of our population are under that typist so higher than tier—3 but outside of that you cannot serve alcohol in the and you cannot have any household mixing. it's very clear from the sage paper, what they say is the key is reducing the interaction of one household and another. we have not had any household mixing alone for two weeks. so we are already at a high level and that is right across scotland. because the rule of six, when the rule of six is allowed to continue in england, have been talking about six people from six different households. to me that seems crazy. if mixing household is a key driver whether in a pub or in a key driver whether in a pub or in a house, then you want to try and reduce that. so even with the central belt, the restrictions in scotla nd central belt, the restrictions in scotland are still significantly tighter than what has been talked about in tier n

cases have surged here, but measures could vary across scotland. the lowest level tier of the new restrictions would be closer to normal and allow for meetings indoors with a maximum of eight people from three households. on tieri of the rule of six in two household kicks in both indoors and outdoors. people in tier 2 areas would be banned from socialising in each other‘s homes and pubs and restau ra nts each other‘s homes and pubs and restaurants could only serve alcohol indoors with a main meal. in tier 3 pubs would have to close and restau ra nts pubs would have to close and restaurants may be able to stay open under strict conditions. on the highest tier nonessential shops would have to shut, travel would be limited and tourism would close. schools would remain open. we are not back at square one, we have made progress in tackling the virus and we have more tools at our disposal to help control it and today's framework will help us i hope make further progress. in the highlands where the rate of transmission is relatively low, the owner of

scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, urged people to comply with scotland's current restrictions and said people should not travel to or from england unless essential. wales is already a week into a lockdown. northern ireland's schools will reopen as planned on monday and current restrictions will end a week on friday as planned. in recent weeks in england, the government's focus has been on a regional response to the virus. that, it seems, is about to radically change. chris mason, bbc news. and chris is here now. chris, it was only a few weeks ago, perhaps even less, but borisjohnson was saying he still didn't want a national lockdown. has he been forced to change his strategy, do you think? yeah, i think he has been forced by the facts, as presented by the scientist. in the last couple of hours the cabinet has been meeting remotely, scientists have been briefing the cabinet. we understand from sources that have there has been quite a lot of pushback from cabinet ministers because there is such a delicate balance here, isn't? . clearly they want to avoid this potential death ra

particularly cold down the north sea coast of scotland and england. outbreaks of rain was prevalent across england and wales. something a little bit brighter in scotland and northern ireland, only one or two showers. but it will be chilly. temperatures only around ten to 13 degrees for many. remaining lower than it should be for the time of year and it will stay chilly as we go through wednesday and thursday. there is a selection of us, the forecast, though, suggests it will be a little bit drier and brighter, though. this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines at eight... mayors in the north of england say the chancellor's coronavirus financial help package doesn't go far enough, and call for additional support. the state says you may not go to work and you may not trade, so people should be getting hundred percent compensation. boris johnson will announce new measures on monday to tackle coronavirus in england, with some areas of the north warned they are likely to face tougher restrictions. wearing a face mask in all work places and outdoo

there won't be a scotland wide there won't be a scotland wide travel ban. people are not going to be restricted to their homes like they were in march. this isn't going to bea they were in march. this isn't going to be a full lockdown and the schools will not shut. but the half term holidays is that this weekend and it looks like the scottish government is going to use that to clamp down. we understand that these restrictions are likely to be tough. they are already banned from mixing socially in each other‘s homes in scotla nd socially in each other‘s homes in scotland and the main point of transmission is when people meet each other, so it is likely to focus on hospitality, and in particular the night—time economy, pubs and bars. but industry bodies are worried about this. some businesses have already gone to the wall. they are worried that others will follow and they say the government needs to give more support if tighter measures are being brought in. we need a government intervention. we need a government intervention. we need to extend the furl

northern ireland and west of scotland, for you we're looking at sunshine and showers, but still gusty winds with exposure gusting a0 or 50 miles an hour gusts in exposure. temperatures today, nine to about 1k celsius, and feeling cool if you are exposed to the wind or indeed in the rain. through this evening and overnight, our weather front bulges into the north sea, but you can see that we do have rain across east anglia and also parts of scotland and northern england. and still showers packing in across some western areas. under clear skies, anywhere in the north, we could see temperatures fall low enough for a touch of frost, but more especially in the north—east. tomorrow, we start off with the rain in scotland sinking further south across england, getting into north wales. we will also have a weather front in the south east producing some rain, drifting further west through the course of the day, so the driest conditions are likely to be across scotland and northern ireland. even here, though, we'll still see some showers and a brisk wind. by the time we get to wednesday, somet

it turns wetter across scotland. largely dry for northern ireland, and after the rain clears, we could get sunshine in the afternoon for the south east of england, giving temperatures a boost. but underneath the cloud and rain, it's a chilly 11—13 degrees. and that rain is going to be heavy at times, especially over the hills. we do have amber rain warnings from the met office for later on saturday into saturday night. there could be more than two inches of rain actually over the higher ground here. and further north, as well, another area that's likely to have some flooding, the north east of scotland. a lot of rain especially over the hills blown in off the north sea around our area of low pressure. and as we move into the second half of the weekend, the centre of the low is going to be sitting slap bang over the uk. so, we've got the stronger winds probably around the edges where we have this rain. that rain should move away from the north east of scotland in the morning. the wetter weather not far away from nor
