wet across england and wales, scotla nd wet across england and wales, scotland and northern ireland fearing slightly better. last weekend, mid 20s, but we will barely get 9—10 in some spots with the wet weather this saturday. on a positive note, the low pressure system moves away quickly. on sunday, some cloud, drizzly rain in the west but hopefully brighter spells as well. temperatures around average, 13—15. a much better story if you're heading to london to run the marathon. gone are the intense heat of last weekend and the heavy rain of last weekend and the heavy rain of saturday. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. cases of measles almost quadrupled in england last year, as a report warns more than half a million children in the uk may not have had the jab. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm, and here's your latest sports news. "we're not champions yet" — that's the message from pep guardiola after his manchester city side won a crucial manchester derby.

it's reasonably mild, around about 13 to 17 across england and wales, but north—east england, northern ireland and scotland a touch cooler than that. we could see some heavy showers in the east affecting the boat races in london during sunday afternoon, so just a chance that some of those showers could be potentially quite heavy. a small risk of the odd isolated thunderstorm. as we head into monday, we've still got quite a lot of cloud and a few showers, particularly for the southern half of england and across wales. it's the northern half of the uk that will see more in the way of sunshine, so not a bad day for northern england, northern ireland and scotland. temperatures generally around about 10 to 111, so it's a bit cooler by the time we get to monday, and as we work through monday night and into tuesday we're going to see this frontal system drifting its way slowly further north across the uk. that is going to bring a few spots of rain through the day on tuesday, most likely through parts of northern england, perhaps north wales, northern ireland. to the north of that, for much of

very unlike england of late. second half, ithought they changed the system slightly, i thought they performed a lot better, they could have probably got a draw out of the result but i think we've got to look at it as a whole and say he was trying new things, trying new players in different positions. maybe it its new tactics, i don't know. it is an opportunity for those players because he said the door is still open so it is a chance and from a player's perspective you can say at least i've had the opportunity to show i've played a game, opportunity to show i've played a a opportunity to show i've played a game, i've shown what i can do and if you are not selected it is down to you and your performance, not because you have not been given the opportunity. i look at it as a positive and a chance for those players to prove themselves. you've beenin players to prove themselves. you've been in this position going into a final warm been in this position going into a finalwarm up been in this position going into a fina

that rain is pushing notjust into the south—west of england but into the south—west of england but into wales. same cloud into northern ireland, moving away and further east across the uk and better chance of staying dry and sunshine. it won‘t feel as cold as recently. the wind is not a strong and temperatures of 13 or 1a celsius. through the evening and overnight, we will see the back of the rain for northern ireland and wales and eventually from the south—west of england. at the same time the rain expected in orkney will push its way inland into scotland. in between we have some clearer skies which shouldn‘t be too cold tonight, with temperatures similar to last night, around three up to six celsius. i mention this idea of a changeable fortune this weekend, and we will find the eastern side of the uk more likely to have cloud and more likely to get wet weather for the west. it is likely to be drier for the west and more sunshine. a better day for northern ireland and wales and the western side of england on saturday. it should be dry with plenty sunshine. turning to cloud throug

tuesday, still cold and grey and wet at times across southern england. it will be southern england that sees the biggest change in the weather for wednesday. that cloud that has been sticking there for the past few days bringing some rain at times is finally moving its way southwards. still a bit of cloud, a few spots of rain along the south coast, otherwise probably a dry start, clear skies further north and as you move northwards, the winds are lighter. we are more likely to have a frost and temperatures could be down to —2 or —3 in rural scotland. but it will warm up to a certain extent on wednesday in the sunshine. the cloud moves away from the southwest of england, we keep one or two showers for a while in the channel islands, otherwise it dries out and a bit of fair weather cloud building up in northeast england. a noticeable wind down the eastern side of england, especially in the southeast, willjust add to the chill. but at least the sunshine will be out. still only nine degrees along those north seacoasts, highs of 12 or 13 celsius. those te

the nhs says the number of cases in england almost quadrupled last year. the children's charity unicef says more than half a million children in england aren't protected against the highly contagious and potentially fatal disease. 0ur global health correspondent richard galpin reports. according to unicef, an estimated 160 million people around the world missed out on the measles vaccine in the period from 2010 to 2017, and it says outbreaks of the disease are on the rise. there seems to be a global issue of a lack of information, scepticism around different sources of information, and that's meant all around the world, we've seen 169 million children between 2010 and 2017 not getting the immunisations that they should be having, and that is still the case in the uk. in 2017, more than 100,000 people died, most of them children, and the problem is notjust in developing countries. in the united states, france, the uk, and many other wealthy parts of the world, significant numbers of children are unprotected. there are many reasons for this. here in the uk a

giving us and the south—west of england giving us rain. elsewhere, it‘s dry, increasing amounts of bright weather, that‘s the scene at the moment in rutland. we see sunny spells across good parts of england and scotland. early morning cloud, mist and fog continuing to clear from eastern areas. still some patchy rain for northern ireland, the west of wales, south—west england through this afternoon. temperatures for many reaching 13-17d, temperatures for many reaching 13—17d, perhaps 18, 19 degrees in northern areas of scotland. tonight, more cloud moving back in across eastern parts, especially east yorkshire, towards aberdeenshire. this rain in the west tapping up a little bit, bringing heavier bursts of rain towards northern ireland and the west of wales. throughout tuesday, the rain continuing to spread gradually eastwards into western scotland, west wales, the south—west of england, early morning cloud and mist clearing from eastern parts. for many on tuesday, a dry day with sunny spells, warming up, temperatures reaching 19

further north in the north—east of england, it was a very different look to the weather. the mist and fog and low cloud rolling in from the north sea and temperatures about 7 degrees. now, we should get sunshine in the north—east of england on tuesday but our air is getting colder. 0ur air is coming all the way from scandinavia over the cold north sea so we are going to find temperatures dropping. that mild and warmer windier weather is staying out in the atlantic and it wasn't very warm in mid wales on monday with thick cloud, some showery rain too. we should get some sunshine here i think on tuesday because the rain is still probably a bit further south through rush—hour, so affecting south wales, southern england, perhaps into the south midlands. move further north, very much quieter, bit of a chillier start perhaps one or two mist and fog patches but sunshine in most areas and very light winds as well a much sunnier day for the north—east of england. we will still have this showery rain mind you and it is moving very, very slowly its way southwards. it could ind

knife crime figures for england and wales have risen to record levels. last year nearly 41,000 offences were recorded by police, a 6% increase on 2017. the figures — published by the office for national statistics — show there were more than 730 cases of murder and manslaughter. that's the highest number for a decade. but the likelihood of being a victim of violent crime is at its lowest level ever as our home editor mark easton explains. it is a horribly familiar scene. another teenager stabbed to death last night in birmingham, as homicide figures for england and wales hit a ten—year high, and knife offences recorded by police reach record levels. the sense is that violence is rising in england and wales, but let's look at the bigger picture. homicide is up, a 10—year high, but this graph suggests it is too early to say that society is becoming more violent. 0verall figures for violent crime show actually a huge fall since the mid—‘90s. the chances of being a victim of violence then were 110 in 1,000. now, the lowest ever, 29. figures for o

so will england miss him? i asked that question to former player and now cricket broadcaster isabelle westbury. who wasn't in the starting 11, but certainly, as a back—up batter, we have already had a few injuries with out have already had a few injuries with our batsmen. possibly not if everyone stays fit but equally, he has got some brilliant centuries in the past. a mark of england improvement is that they can think about doing without him, given how things changed after the last world cup and help of he was to that change. absolutely, to visit england, capitulating to bangladesh and other smaller nations. if you actually look the batter is looking out of the wings, james vince that we talked about, he scored a blistering 194 hampshire the other day. joe clarke, also players that are around. ben stokes has already been called up to the one—day squad but not yet have the world cup. there are a lot of players around and hopefully it means that strength and hopefully it means that strength and depth will h

one part of the uk that's been quite cloudy day has been the south—west of england. we've got this area of cloud stretching from the south—west, across wales and up towards northern ireland. that's not really moving very far. it's actually a weak weather front that is just stumbling into that area of high pressure, that's blocking things off and drawing in the chillier airand bringing us, earlier on at least, a lot of sunshine. but as temperatures have risen so we've seen more patchy cloud developing, that's spreading out a bit more, limiting the sunshine a bit during the afternoon. and we have still got the cloudier skies, stronger winds for northern ireland and towards the far south—west, perhaps one or two spots of rain. the odd light shower possible around those north sea coasts, but on the whole it's a dry day. rather more cloud perhaps then we had yesterday and so temperatures struggling to around nine or ten celsius. now, the cloud that does develop will tend to decay during this evening, skies will clear in many areas. we'll keep cloudier skies for northe

eastern england, we should see decent spells of sunshine. you can see how slowly this rain pushes over the irish sea into some western coasts, into scotland, perhaps, but ahead of it, some sunshine. 18 or 19 in the midlands. as we move into the evening and overnight, again this patchy rain is pushing its way further into wales, to the south—west of england, to the north—west of england and further into scotland as well. more cloud putting into more of the country means it should be quite as chilly, temperatures 7—9. this zone of cloud elsewhere, though, producing showers at this stage and they could be rather hit and miss. but with more cloud in general, even for eastern areas, it won't be quite as warm as tuesday. looking at thursday, we've still got this fairly cloudy picture. there will be some showers developing, potentially thundery. more significant, though, that weather front could provide some patchy rain moving southwards. it's what's happening to the north that is more crucial because if you follow the wind arrows, our wind f
