i don't think these england fans who are leaving these england fans who are leaving these england fans who are leaving the stadium behind me even in their wildest dreams would have thought that they could ever win quite so emphatically against the mighty all blacks. but they have done with a stunning performance. england really took the initiative in the opening seconds, right from the kick—off they took the lead after barely 90 seconds with a try from tuilagi. he dived over to put england ahead so they made a 7—0 with the conversion. england led 10—0 at half—time. the all blacks could barely lay a finger on them. after the break, england made it 13—0 with another penalty. then at the all blacks hit back with a try of their own. a mistake from england at the line—out. he dived over the line to give new zealand a chance to get back into the game. it made the score 13—7 to england. was the comeback on for new zealand? well, know it, it wasn't. england we re well, know it, it wasn't. england were quite clinical and ruthless. and they had a kicker in the form of his life. thr

tomorrow, england will discover if they will face england oi’ discover if they will face england or south africa in next week's final but whoever it is all start as firm favourites after a wind they will never forget. for the reigning champions — new zealand — it's the first time they've lost a game at the world cup for 12 years. the third place play off next friday will be head coach steve hansen's final game in charge of the all blacks. in his press conference following the defeat he was upset with a question from one of the members of the media aimed at his captain kieran reid. described it as respectful question, to suggest the all blacks turned up not being hungry, they are desperate to win the game. i asked them at half—time to get hungrier and that doesn't mean they didn't turn up to be hungry. there is a big difference. if you want to spend some time outside, i'll give you a by some time outside, i'll give you a rugby indication on that one but to turn up and say an all blacks team comes to a semifinal of a rugby world cup with the amount of ability and history that they hav

well, before he was an england coach, he was an england player. it was never an exceptional stint in international cricket — he played only six tests. but he's enjoyed success as coach. he led essex to the county championship title two years ago. during his time at chelmsford his record was unblemished: two seasons, two trophies — promotion one year, the title the next. and he will be a familar face in the england set up — he's been the bowling coach for the past two years so has already formed strong relationships within the squad — particualrly his fellow yorkshireman joe root. earlier our cricket correspondent jonathan agnew told my colleague holly hamilton he'll be a popular choice with the players. they like him. he is kind of one of them. that will have to change emphasis when he gets the job full—time, a little bit of space between them. as bowling coach you can be amongst the players... the main coaching role is obviously a little bit different to that. but, yes, gary kirsten was in the frame. i think people probably thought he w

and across much of northern england, northern ireland and scotland. 0ver northern england, northern ireland and scotland. over the next 2a hours, rain could cause issues. the weather picture is more of the same. that is not good news given the ground is completely saturated, and that rain is likely to cause localised flooding and tricky travelling conditions for some of us over the next 2a hours. this afternoon, the rain is moving in across the north and west of the uk. towards the south east, it probably stays dry and bright for london for most of the day, 70 degrees and on the mild side. this afternoon and evening for the rush hour in western scotland, we could see problems here. 20—50 millimetres of rain over the hills over the next 2a hours, bringing the risk of localised flooding here. and further southwards overnight, we start to see the next weather system, bringing more rain back into wales and across parts of england. the breeze picking up so quite a windy and blustery night and a mild night. temperatures between nine and a0 degrees. tomorrow, the focus of heavy rain is because t

england needed a spark and it came from beth england. off the bench and straight onto the scoresheet. a first international goalfor the scoresheet. a first international goal for the chelsea striker but she couldn't prevent inge's first ever defeat to brazil as the lioness is stretch their run without a win to five games. what i have just seen, thatis five games. what i have just seen, that is the level of a top team. we got punished for two lapses in concentration for the first half but we kept going right to the very end. our play at times was some of the best football i have seen us play for a long time. now, we are in that period where things are not going for us that we may be going for us 12 months ago. we havejust got for us that we may be going for us 12 months ago. we have just got to stick together and believe that what we are doing is right. plenty for phil neville to think about. the last time the lionesses went five games without a win was all the way backin games without a win was all the way back in 2013. however, they can

scoring is not england's problem. defending is england's problem. deal with this? no, they couldn't. the czechs were back in the match. many thanks. as news came through of some arrests in central prague, england were still level in the game, althouthordan pickford needed his agility. for england, there were opportunities. for harry kane, the second goal didn't come. well, not for england. as they chased a winner, england were undone again in defence. this was a winning goal to re—inspire czech football, a defeat to remind england of their limitations. joe wilson, bbc news, in prague. in terms of a wake—up call, i think we've had a lot of plaudits, i think we've always maintained that there's a lot of work to be done to be a really top team, and i think tonight was clear evidence of that. we have to respond in the right way. whilst england's winning run in qualifying came to an end, better news for andorra. it's been a long time coming but after 21 years, they've finally got their first qualifying win. they'd lost each and every one of their 56 european qualifi

certainly, england attacked. and new zealand in the first few minutes of that game, they attacked them with an intensity that i haven't seen in yea rs. an intensity that i haven't seen in years. they kept that going throughout the game, keeping the pressure on the all blacks. and really making the all blacks make mistakes. and that is what eventually won them the game. i expected england to win, but not by the school that they did. and when you look ahead now, who would you prefer england to meet? to be honest with you, it is not about prefer, but i would like wales to beat south africa. it would be the first time ever that they would be a northern hemisphere final. all other world cups have either been southern hemisphere or one from each hemisphere. for us, it would be great for northern hemisphere rugby if wales could beat south africa and we play them in the final. is there a danger that england might have peaked too early? because if you beat the world champions, that is obviously going to be a big day for a

the air, mild across england and wales. turning on settled as low pressure starts, with some outbreaks of rain and gradually turning mild, as well. that's your weather. that's all from us — goodbye. this is andrew. he is finishing an essay for tomorrow's deadline. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. time for some sport on bbc news. hello, i'm hugh ferris. they might have produced one of the best performances but eddiejones says england can still improve. their preparations for the world cup final against south africa have begun in tokyo. and matt dawson, part of the winning side in 2003, claims england appear to have the right mentality to be successful on saturday. harping on about 2003, no one celebrates if you have got your hands on the trophy. england have been like that all the way through the tournament, have been very polite, well mannered to their supporters and encouraging, but they have gone straight down into the dressing room, no friends and family on the pitch and they are focused

bulgaria will play their next home match behind closed doors after the racist abuse aimed at england players during their euro 2020 qualifier earlier this month. they'll also have another stadium closure, if any more incidents occur within the next two years. in addition, they've been fined around £65,000 after nazi salutes and monkey chants were heard during their match in sofia on 14th october. that game had part of the stadium closed off due to previous incidents. anti—racism group, kick it out, says uefa's disciplinary process should be overhauled whilst football against racism in europe said it was disappointed bulgaria weren't expelled from the qualifiers. u efa uefa are showing their hand, they are showing that where racism happens in stadium, it is absolutely out of order but it doesn't really register on the reader. this stadium is now closed, it is a suspended sentence. they are not taking the issue seriously, they are saying no to racism but they are not being serious about it. if they're really serious, the suspension should be for the next european championships. arse

yes, welcome to a 40,000 seater capacity arena where england will ta ke capacity arena where england will take on australia in the quarterfinal of the world cup tomorrow. earlier on, we heard from scrum—half ben youngs. he is one of four members of this england squad who spirits the pain of crashing out of the 2011 world cup against french in the quarterfinals. england also failed in the last world cup in 2015 and he made clearjust how much he wa nts to and he made clearjust how much he wants to make up for those feelings when he spoke to us earlier. everyone that's involved in the quarterfinal, you know, it's all this preparation. you are not going to go out there and except whatever‘s been thrown your way. you're going to fight right to the end, and we've got some boys in this tea m end, and we've got some boys in this team who don't know when their beat, and i'm sure it goes without saying, that will fight to the very end. australia knocked england out of the 2015 world cup at twickenham, of course, but since then eddiejones and his side of seeing a fine run of forming as thei

, the north of england, too. but further north, again, into the northern half of scotland, there have been showers aplenty throughout the day and that is because you are that much closer to the centre of the low pressure so the atmosphere very unstable, it will keep that prospect of the showers going. a lot of isobars there as well so it has been windy as well. eventually, the frontal system will gradually work its way that little bit further towards the south and east, and what is left behind, still some pretty gusty conditions so do watch out if you are moving later on tonight or into the first part of sunday, the wind really noticeable, particularly across northern parts of scotland where we'll keep the showers going into the west of scotland, may be parts of northern ireland, the western side of the pennines. eventually, that frontal system will pull away towards the near continent. so, it takes the rain away but it will also take the last of the milder air, one or two spots on saturday in kent got up to in e

there and watch england play. we are talking about running now. if you like to go out running, you probably have a specific pair of shoes you like to wear — probably trainers with big, cushioned soles to protect yourfeet and joints. but one man says you should save your money. barefoot it. tony riddle thinks trainers are actually bad for us, and he'sjust run from lands end tojohn o'groats barefoot to prove it. tony riddle is here now. ba refooted as barefooted as well. morning. how are you? great. in recovery mode. when was the last run? monday, so i finished 57 miles on monday. all barefoot? yes, barefoot. you came in wearing shoes and i couldn't see your feet but now, put them up on the desk. my mom will kill me for this! loads of blisters. they are not blisters, they are pads. so this ankle, but ankle, i gained an upper ankle, but ankle, i gained an upper ankle strain on... you hit a rock or something? day 28, right at the end of the day, fatigue, had to hop over a stream and i hit a rock and i work with an i

i caught up with england captain earlier, she and her tea m england captain earlier, she and her team prepare for this match which was played down the road at the riverside stadium. despite the fact that the ground will be full of friends and family, they will be no time for nostalgia. that is because england haven't won in the last four matches. something steph orton said she and the rest of the team are determined to put right and in front of what is going to be a sell—out crowd. hopefully these people that have come and bought tickets, we've got a sell—out stadium, they can really get behind us and push us on. for us as players we are determined to put on a good performance and show what we are really about. it is going to be a tough game but i think when we play in these high—pressure environments it really does bring the best out on us. the crowd could be infora the best out on us. the crowd could be in for a treat tomorrow. england and brazil fans tomorrow will be hoping to get a glimpse of marta, widely regarded as one of the greatest women players ever to play the game.

, six oi’ scotland and north—east england, six or7 scotland and north—east england, six or 7 degrees. it won't be long before the sun is out in northern ireland. the rain clears away from wales on the south—west of it will be used in areas that see the back of the rain by the end of the back of the rain by the end of the morning, although it may threaten to come back towards the extreme south—east later in the day. the rain lingering in the far north—east of scotland. elsewhere, plenty of sunshine. nice clean air. sunny skies, generally dry, temperatures 13 or 15 degrees, similarto temperatures 13 or 15 degrees, similar to what we had today. while we clear away the weather front and a band of rain, the main driver of thatis a band of rain, the main driver of that is this area of low pressure. that is going to stumble its way across the uk over the coming few days. it starts to arrive on thursday. the wind picking up across the western side of the uk. we have more showers here, maybe longer spells of rain which could be quite heavy. further east it will be drier for longer. even

gareth southgate, england manager, has admitted that england has its own issues with racism in football to address, but this kind of thing here cannot stand. and the response from uefa is now of the utmost importance. this evening a few thousand seats closed off. it made no difference. as for the match itself, marcus rasch had opened the scoring with a stunning strike after only seven minutes. barkley scored twice before sterling added two more either side of the break, and england captain kane completed the rout five minutes from time, 6—0 the final score. you have become the latest team to qualify for next year's finals, after beating the holders in kiev. they want to—i. both goals coming in the first half —— won 2—1. cristiano ronaldo‘s penalty was the 700th goal of his career. kosovo beat montenegro 2—0 to keep their hopes of qualifying alive. the result means that group a leaders england are not certain of their place in next year's finals. the world champions, france, were held toa i—i world champions, france, were held to a 1—1 draw by turkey in paris. both rema

so i think for england to set up goes. so i think for england to set u p slowly goes. so i think for england to set up slowly differ into almost challenge them, they were in the v formation, the point of the formation, the point of the formation at the back protecting, from that second, it showed that they were mentally up for this game. and throughout the game, let's bear in mind that there was at least another ten if not 14 points left out there. which is incredible really. they'll be watching tomorrow very closely. what will they be hoping for? what do they hope to see? i think a lot of their focus will be purely on themselves. when you get to a world cup final, he does not matter who you face, he will be a tough game, a tight game. they have played south africa a lot over the years, only recently in last yea r‘s autumn over the years, only recently in last year's autumn internationals, we got beat by them by one point. that was the last time we have played them. more recently, we have played them. more recently, we have played wells a lot more. probably argue and

england went on to win 6-0. a simply left. england went on to win 6—0. a step closer to qualification but that is not what we're talking about this morning. great to hear from john cross there. but a really pivotal moment last night when england player tyrone mings turned to one of the officials. in case you didn't catch it, "did you hear that?". in case you didn't catch it, "did you hear that? he in case you didn't catch it, "did you hearthat?". he can in case you didn't catch it, "did you hear that?". he can clearly hear something coming from the stands. gareth southgate said he was proud of his players. they want to be recognised for their football. they were playing so well that they didn't want to leave the pitch at that moment as well. i'm sure that will have been part of our thinking so i'm incredibly proud of all of the players and all of the staff. i don't think, of course we could be criticised for not going far enough but i think we've made a huge statement and frankly, we were in an impossible situation to get it right for the satisfaction of

bulgaria against england this month, halted after fa ns england this month, halted after fans directed monkey chants at players. fifa's new approach is to stop the match and warned fans. if it continues, take the players off the field and as a last step abandon the field and as a last step abandon the game altogether. what about club football? bbc scotland has obtained this letter from fifa to all associations. it says fifa urges all member associations and disciplinary bodyis member associations and disciplinary body is to introduce the three step procedure in their domestic competitions... we can't shy away from it. if we wa nt football to we can't shy away from it. if we want football to be having a wider impact in the community then the issues that we have got in football have to be addressed. the main issue in scotland is sectarianism, which fits directly inside these new if he had guidelines, something that scottish football has wrestled with for a long time and always failed to find a solution. could they now be forced to adopt someone else's? the spf l wouldn't comment. the sco

england needed a spark and it came from beth england. off the bench and straight onto the scoresheet. a first international goal for the chelsea striker but she couldn't prevent england's first ever defeat to brazil as the lionesses stretch their run without a win to five games. what i have just seen, that is the level of a top team. we got punished for two lapses in concentration for the first half but we kept going right to the very end. our play at times was some of the best football i have seen us play for a long time. now, we are in that period where things are not going for us that we may be had going for us 12 months ago. we have just got to stick together and believe that what we are doing is right. plenty for phil neville to think about. the last time the lionesses went five games without a win was all the way back in 2013. however, they can put things right pretty quickly. tomorrow they travel to lisbon for a friendly against portugal on tuesday. let's take a look at some of the day's other headlines... the defending motogp wor

disappointing for the england players but of course also disappointing for the england supporters. thousands of them are out here on the trip of a lifetime, some of them, to watch england play france. what did they make of the cancellation? upset, really. as you cancellation? upset, really. as you can see it is hard to understand at the moment when the sun is shining what it will be like in 48 hours but we came out all this way and spent all this money. it is a long way to come to see just a single game. that said it is a force of nature and there is nothing anyone can do so there is nothing anyone can do so there is no blame attached. it is just thoroughly disappointing and a bit deflating. hugely disappointing but good fun to be here anyway in tokyo. we were meant to be going to scotla nd tokyo. we were meant to be going to scotland and japan so hopefully that one will happen. so let's talk about that match because that is the bigger deal. scotland have so much to lose if that match does not happen. can you tell us anything? scotla nd happen. can you tell us anything? scotland â€

scoring is not england's problem. defending is england's problem. deal with this? no, they couldn't. the czechs were back in the match. many thanks. as news came through of some arrests in central prague, england were still level in the game, althouthordan pickford needed his agility. for england, there were opportunities. for harry kane, the second goal didn't come. well, not for england. as they chased a winner, england were undone again in defence. this was a winning goal to re—inspire czech football, a defeat to remind england of their limitations. joe wilson, bbc news, in prague. no break for football focus. we will be reflecting on the internationals, that first defeat for england in a decade. because there is no premier league we are focusing further down the divisions. we sent mark clement to go and see the leaders in league 2, forest green, who take on exeter. i've got a clip for you from an interview with mark cooper, the boss of forest green. there is a lot of good young talent out there, boys that have not quite made it at the top level and boys that

england went on to win six nil. the manager gareth southgate said that he was currently where the players conduct themselves and it was a team decision to carry on. they want to be recognised for their football and they were playing so well that they did not want to leave the pitch at that moment. i am sure that will have been part of their thinking. so, i'm incredibly proud of all of the players and all of the star. i don't think... of course, we could be criticised for not going far enough, but i think we've made a huge statement. i think we've made a huge statement. i think we've made a huge statement. i think we've made a huge statement and frankly we're in an impossible situation to get it right to the satisfaction of everybody. the uefa have asked to investigate as a matter of urgency. and there have been calls for beginner to be thrown out of the european championship. after all the debate that has happened, after all the warnings that had been in place, it was shocking to see the level of racist abuse of the

very wet in north—east england. scotland and northern ireland, still some way to go to get the average october rainfall and it is here we will see the wettest weather as we go through the wettest weather as we go through the week. but as i mentioned earlier, it is quite to stop the week because we have an area of high pressure moving in. that said, there is low pressure close to east anglia and south—east england for monday and south—east england for monday and that will bring a bit of rain for some others. in terms of the weather feel to begin the day, chilly and northern ireland but especially in scotland, indicating where parts of rural aberdeenshire, have been down to minus three celsius to start the day. a milder start for england and wales with a lot of cloud around and the north—easterly breeze and a few showers. outbreaks of rain towards the far south—east, parts of kent, essex, coastal suffolk and norfolk. maybe a few spots further inland as well. we will see some outbreaks of rain edging towards th

tonight, england fans were savouring a rather different celebration here. tokyo's halloween festivities. but, come this weekend, they'll be hoping for some magic of their own. andy swiss, bbc news, tokyo. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. eddiejones has kept faith with the same team that beat the all blacks. his england side will face south africa in a repeat of the 2007 rugby world cup final. craig levein has been sacked as manager of hearts, with only goal difference keeping the club off the bottom of the scottish premiership table. and, as she attempts to become a two—weight world champion, boxer katie taylor tells us what pushes her to become the best. i love breaking down barriers and being a trailblazer in the sport and to bea being a trailblazer in the sport and to be a pioneer in the sport is absolutely huge for me. welcome to sportsday. we are inching, hour by hour, minute by minute, ever closer to that rugby world cup final on saturday in japan be

welcome to this dome, a 40,000 seater capacity where england will ta ke seater capacity where england will take on australia in the world cup tomorrow. earlier on we heard from ben youngs. he's one of four members of this england squad who experienced the pain of crashing out in 2011 world cup against france in the quarterfinals. england of course also failed in the last world cup in 2015, and he made clearjust how much he wants to make up for those failings when he spoke to us earlier. everyone involved in the quarterfinal — it's all this preparation. you won't go out there and accept whatever is being thrown your way. you're going to fight right till the end, and we've got some bullies in this team who don't know when they are beat. and i'm sure that it goes without saying for any team that's participating this weekend, we will fight till the very end. australia knocked england out of the 2015 world cup at twickenham. but since then, eddiejones's site has had a fine run of results against one of their arch rivals was up against one of their arch rivals was up six wins out of six,

as you parts of england and that will be a concern. as you go parts of england and that will be a concern. as you go through wednesday evening and overnight, by which stage we have more showers gathering around in the west, but between that, quite chilly weather that could have a touch of frost on thursday morning. but thursday dawns in with low—pressure centre to the west of us, approaching the tightly packed air bars, the wind will increase again and we'll see bands of showers or longer spells of rain thrown in on the brisk south—westerly win. although eastern areas and see if you are showers when they come along, they could be torrential with hail and thunder but it looks like we'll see a plethora of showers and feeling coolerjust because we have more cloud, more wind in the showers around. bush i was going to be with us for the end of the week and into the weekend as well, it will be quite chilly at night with the nights getting longer as well. at the obesity showers between —— there will be some showers between. sunny spel

sunday, rain widely and it could linger across parts of eastern england. as it slowly moves away there is the potential for stronger winds to work in for a time. temperatures falling across the north of the country, highs of 11 or 12 degrees so quite a bit cooler here. you're watching beyond one hundred days. a pathway still exists, says leo varadkar, to a last minute brexit deal. they are not there yet. there are big hurdles to overcome, but from the irish side cautious optimism that a compromise can be found. it could be that neither side wants to carry the blame for the talks collapsing — or maybe there has been some concession that has moved the talks into positive territory. iam now i am now absolutely convinced that both ireland and britain wa nt that both ireland and britain want there to be an agreement that's in the interests of ireland, the united kingdom and the european union as a whole. turkish forces continue their advance across their advance across the syrian border — there have been fierce clashes with kurdish fighters — as turkey bo

earlier on eddiejones named his england team to start the match. the main headline from that being that george ford returns to the starting line—up at fight half with the captain moving out to the centres. england will be confident after their victory in the quarterfinals over australia but new zealand haven't lost a world cup match for some 12 yea rs. lost a world cup match for some 12 years. they will be the favourite when the two teams meet in yokohama on saturday. andy swiss reporting there. on to football and arsenal made it three wins out of three, in the europa league but they had to come from behind at home to vitoria guimaraes to maintain their 100% record. twice the portuguese side led through goals from marcus edwards and bruno duarte. but twice they were pegged back with gabriel martinelli and nicolas pepe equalising for the gunners. the match was heading for a draw until pepe popped up with the winner in stoppage time. pepe is a very good player and we believe in him totally. also, the way he is doing is sometimes feeling better, som

who will england played so well. who will england play next? it could be well is of course because they take on south africa in the second semifinal tomorrow morning. this is wales second semifinal appearance in three tournaments. the team narrowly lost tournaments. the team narrowly lost to france last time they reach the semifinals eight years ago. north admits his formerjapan has been mixed but he believes wales are in a stronger position than ever to reach a final. we've been played very well this week. the france game wasn't idealfor us to this week. the france game wasn't ideal for us to bounce off, this week. the france game wasn't idealfor us to bounce off, from a momentum point of view, but from i think one to the whole squad, 32 as we are now, i think the preparations have been brilliant, you know, i think the most annoying thing now is waiting for the game. getting in the mix and getting playing. 0n mix and getting playing. on to football and there were five matches in the premier league today with leaders liverpool playing tomorrow.

that would see australia facing england in the last eight. warren gatland has made 13 changes to his side, with justin tipuric set to captain them for the first time. formula one is also injapan this weekend, and because of the weather they are not taking any risks with qualifying tomorrow. that will now take place on the morning of sunday's race in suzuka. practice took place earlier, not too many brollies. valtteri bottas and lewis hamilton were quickest for mercedes. the nike oregon project will be shut down following the four year ban handed to its former head coach alberto salazar for doping violations. even though nike are supporting salazar‘s appeal against the ban, they say it had become a distraction. they've explained their decision, saying... the british tennis number two heather watson has reached the wta semifinal for the first time since january 2018, winning at the tea engine open in the quarterfinals in a match which lasted just over three hours. she beat the polish world number 42 hours. she beat the polish world number42 i
