wales arrived full of expectation. six nations grand slam winners, unbeaten injapan, these days they are firm favourites in such big games. now they had to live up to that status and extend the farewell of their legendary coach warren gatland in this, his last tournament in charge. he won't have enjoyed this, though, france started superbly as first the giant vahaamahina and olivon put them 12—0 up inside eight minutes. which france would turn up? now we knew. wales needed to respond. they immediately did so. aaron wainwright pouncing and going clear. with officials under pressure to clamp down on high tackles, moriarty was always going to pay for this. while he was in the sin bin, his team were punished. the french had a 9—point lead going into half—time. france needed to keep their discipline. instead, an act of violence as daft as it was dangerous here from vahaamahina. the fans showed what they thought, the officials agreed, france would play the last half hour one man down. although games can hinge on such m

and we will be speaking to former wales hooker richard hibbard about wales‘ chances. quite a challenge ahead for them. very exciting, a potential home nations final, finally. the liberal democrats and the snp have written to the european council president, donald tusk, asking for a further three—month brexit extension. both parties say they want a general election but don‘t support the prime minister‘s deal, or his calls for a poll on december the 12th. it comes ahead of another vote on an election in parliament tomorrow. a search is underway in cambodia for a british backpacker who was last seen four days ago. the family of amelia bambridge, who‘s 21 and from worthing in sussex, have flown out to the resort of koh rong to help find her. her handbag containing her purse, phone and bank cards has been found on a beach nearby. there‘ve been more clashes between police and protesters in barcelona, following the jailing of catalan dissident leaders. some of the 350,000 demonstrators threw bottles and fireworks at police, who responded with tear gas and rubber bu

at that point wales we re hat—trick try. at that point wales were able to breathe a little bit easier but the relief did not come until the fourth try, a bonus point for them so they are through to the quarterfinals with a game to spare but they have come through one hell ofa but they have come through one hell of a battle. they certainly did, thank you so much. scotland have kept their quarter final hopes alive with a comfortable bonus—point win over russia in shizuoka. the scots must take four more points from their final pool match against hosts japan on sunday to reach the last eight. here's our sports correspondent andy swiss. scotla nd scotland knew they had to beat russia to keep their hopes of reaching the world cup quarterfinals alive and they did so in some style with a thumping morale boosting victory. they got off to the perfect start when adam hastings scored two early tries to give them the initiative. russia didn't help themselves. a series of calamitous errors including an interception on their own line whi

sin bin, wales were left with some serious injury concerns. but ultimately, hat—trick herojosh adams helped propel wales to the win. our sports correspondent katie gornall was at the match. wales always mean that fiji could be dangerous opponents, they were given a real scare here in front of a raucous crowd. a thrilling game, wales had ten days to prepare for this game against fiji. demand a call... fiji wasted no time scoring their second, that came just minutes later. wales were really, at this point, bg looking a threat. almost every time they went forward. wales did manage to be great, josh adams scored two tries before the break. to get them by contract. they took a narrow lead into half—time and there was no let up after the break. this isa was no let up after the break. this is a bruising, physical encounter. fiji were awarded a penalty try midway through the second half. just as she thought the momentum might be shifting towards that the genes, josh adams scored his hat—trick try. diving into the corner, thatjust allowed wales t

well, the wales fancier will be keeping theirfingers well, the wales fancier will be keeping their fingers crossed. it is a glorious afternoon here in yokohama, still two hours to go until kick—off, but already the fans are streaming into the stadium behind me. —— fans here. wales will begin as the underdogs, not least because south africa has been more impressive in the tournament so far. they were certainly more impressive in the quarter—finals, when they beat japan really quite emphatically in the end, whereas wales onlyjust scraped past france by a single point. wales have also had quite a lot of injury problems over the last few weeks. they had one just a few days ago, theirfullback few weeks. they had one just a few days ago, their fullback liam williams is out of this much and out of the rest of the tournament, in fa ct, of the rest of the tournament, in fact, with an ankle injury. they have called up leigh halfpenny, who was a very experienced replacement, but even so, that is a big blow to them. —— who is. but wales have managed to develop this winning mentality over t

this weather front, hanging around parts of england and wales for much of the weekend. a feed of showers running into western parts of scotland. then we go on through into sunday, this weather front will eventually start to pull away, but we‘ll see more heading in from the atlantic. yes, it is staying unsettled even into next week, as well. this is how we start friday, you can see the areas of heavy rain into parts of england and wales, further heavy showers than into western scotland. a dry start to northern ireland with some sunshine, very blustery up there as well. i just want to focus in on some of the wetter areas, greater risk of disruption and the met office has yellow weather warnings in force for rain for much of wales, the peak district into the pennines, higher totals here to higher ground, quite widely15—30 millimetres, difficult driving through that. and the showers rattling into western scotland, north of glasgow, giving fairly high rainfall totals again, especially for the higher ground, some difficult travelling conditions. giving an indication of wh

wales next for south africa as andy was saying there. their head coach warren gatland admitted the better side lost after wales needed a late converted try to give them a 20—19 win over france — they were a man down for over half an hour because of a red card. our sports editor dan roan has the story of the game. it was france who started and they we re it was france who started and they were the better. two early tries and then wales responded to aaron wainwright, who scored a try of his own. at that point it was anybody‘s. france 19—10 up at half—time. early in the second half, sebastien vahaamahina, the giant french lock elbowed wainwright during a mall, camped on the wales line. there was no need for it. in the roaming half—an—hour, france were reduced to 14. it looked like time is running out and wales were struggling to make their one—man advantage count. but in the final reckoning, moriarty it was who popped up to score the decisive try. dan biggar converted to edge wales ahead for the very first time in the match.

wales arrived full of expectation. six nations grand slam winners, unbeaten injapan, these days they are firm favourites in such big games. now they had to live up to that status and extend the farewell of their legendary coach warren gatland in this, his last tournament in charge. he won‘t have enjoyed this, though, france started superbly as first the giant vahaamahina and olivon put them 12—0 up inside eight minutes. which france would turn up? now we knew. wales needed to respond. they immediately did so. aaron wainwright pouncing and going clear. with officials under pressure to clamp down on high tackles, moriarty was always going to pay for this. while he was in the sin bin, his team were punished. the french had a 9—point lead going into half—time. france needed to keep their discipline. instead, an act of violence as daft as it was dangerous here from vahaamahina. the fans showed what they thought, the officials agreed, france would play the last half hour one man down. although games can hinge on such

more rain to come for england and wales and the risk of further flooding. this is the picture throughout saturday, outbreaks of rain. in england, perhaps edging up towards parts of wales and into the midlands across east anglia as well. heading further north we pick up brighter skies and sunshine, showers in the north—west, they will not be as widespread as today because winds will not be as strong, temperatures typically 13 to 15, chillier in the rain and the south. we saw the satellite picture earlier, it brings rain on that weather front into saturday. on saturday night the rain becomes heavier, develops more widely, increases the flow dress, the heavy rain pushes into the north sea. western parts of the uk will see showers or longer spells of rain continuing into the afternoon. the breeze picked up a little in the south—west, drawing on some dry air. a bit warmer in south—eastern parts of england, elsewhere a little cooler in the rain. hello you are watching afternoon live. today at tpm. counterterror police investigate after five people are stabb

wales play croatia at 7.45pm in the cardiff city stadium. wales wil be without aaron ramsey. thejuventus midfielder missed thursday's1—1 draw in slovakia. wales have played croatia 4 times and lost every time. whenever we've played, we've always lost by one goal, so it's always been quite a tight game. we obviously know what a great team they are, they had a great world cup and they've shown year after year how great they are. but we know it's going to be very tough, but i think being at home gives us a little bit more of an advantage and we know the welsh crowd is going to be behind us, like always, cheering us on, being the 12th man, and, yeah, we've got to beat them at some point, so why not on sunday? arsenal's perfect start to the wsl season has been ended by chelsea after a thrilling late comeback this afternoon. it was 1—1 going into the last 5 minutes — until substitute maria thorisdottir curled in a stunning winner to take unbeaten chelsea above arsenal and into second. and manchester united recorded back to back wins after a 3—0 victory over tottenham hotspu

south africa will take on wales next sunday. south africa defeated hosts japan 26—3 whilst wales came from behind to dramatically beat france 20—19. our sports editor, dan roan, was there to watch it. a second home nation is through to the semifinals of the rugby world cup, wales securing a last—gasp, very dramatic victory against their french opponents. it was france who started by far the better, two early tries, wales then responded through aaron wainwright, who scored a try of his own. at that point, it was anybody‘s, france were 19—10 up at half—time, but then the turning point, early in the second half, sebastien vahaamahina, the giant french lock, elbowed wainwright during a maul on the wales line, there was no need for it, but during the remaining half hour, of course, there were reduced to 1a men. it looks like time was running out, wales struggling to make that advantage count, but in the final reckoning, moriarty it was who popped up to score the decisive try, dan biggar converted to edge wales head for th

so what do wales have to do to get to their first world cup final? our sports correspondent andy swiss reports from yokohama. we have had some horrendous conditions here, some torrential rain but that didn't stop the wales players training out here on the pitch amid some standing water at times. mixed views as far as their tea m times. mixed views as far as their team selection goes. the news that jonathan davies has been named in the team is obviously encouraging for wales fans. that said warren gatland in his press conference said we hope he is fit which does suggest a degree of doubt. jonathan davies missed the quarterfinal against france with a knee injury and he has had strapping on that leg for much of the week is welsh fans will be keeping theirfingers of the week is welsh fans will be keeping their fingers crossed. we have had a news fullback liam williams will miss the rest of the he picked up an ankle injury in an accidental collision during training which is obviously far from accidental collision during training which is obviously farfrom

dan biggar‘s conversion edging wales ahead for the first time. they'd left it late, they'd ridden their luck but wales had dug deep into their resolve and somehow found a way. a second home nation through to the semifinals. all of wales will be breathing a huge sigh of relief tonight after one of their team's most important and dramatic victories. they were far from their best here but, having found a way to prevail, they will now believe they can reach a first—ever world cup final and give warren gatland's long and successful tenure its defining moment. dan roan, bbc news wales' opponents in the last four will be the two—time world champions, south africa, who knocked out hosts japan 26—3. our correspondent, andy swiss, reports from tokyo. go,japan! they are the hosts who have lit up their very own tournament. japan's first world cup quarterfinal — high emotion and high hopes. four years ago they famously beat south africa, but when makazole mapimpi put the springboks ahead, a repeat seemed unlikely. japan's pace and poise were soon caus

it is hard to win against a team like wales. agonisingly close, for wales. but for the fans, not much consolation. south africa will face england here next weekend in the world cup final. liverpool have restored their six—point lead at the top of the english premier league after they came from behind to beat tottenham hotspur at anfield, in a re—run of last season's champions league final, it was spurs though who were out of the blocks the fastest. scoring afterjust 48 seconds, and who else but harry kane, with his 16th goal in 17 matches for club and country. but liverpool came roaring back, jordan henderson with the equaliser six minutes after the break before mo salah thumped the winner from the penalty spot. it means liverpool have dropped just two points in the premier league this season and are unbeaten at home in 45 league games. manchester united cruised to a 3—1victory at norwich for their first away win in the league since february. goals from scott mctominay, marcus rashford and anthony martial, moving ole gunnar solskjaer‘s side up to sev

brightening up for many of us in wales and northern england by the end of the afternoon. sunny spells in scotland and northern ireland with a few showers. blustery winds in northern scotland. still quite windy along the south coast of england, but the winds will slowly be easing as we go deeper into the day. and the colder air is gradually winning out. just the far southeast in the rain by the end of the afternoon, holding onto temperatures into the mid teens. and that rain, after a wet saturday evening, finally then pulls away here. still a rash of showers overnight, into sunday, pushing into parts of scotland and northern ireland. wintry on the hills. clocks go back on saturday night, the end of british summertime. nothing to do with the weather but actually appropriately enough, as we go into sunday, it is the cold air, the chilly feel that has won out. but that is a big change where it has been so wet for the past few days. so a colder start across the uk on sunday morning. we may well see a touch of frost in places, but this is the big difference to part two of the w

wales had ten days to prepare for this game against fiji. they were undone insidejust four minutes against fiji. they were undone inside just four minutes when the man they call the boss, he was more like a runaway train when he scored the first try. in fiji wasted no time in scoring their second. so wales were reeling at this point. fiji looking a threat almost every time they went forward. but wales managed to regroup. josh adam scored two tries before the break to get them back on track. they took a narrow lead into half—time, and there was really no let up after the break. this is a bruising physical encounter. fiji were awarded a penalty try at midway through the second half. and just as you thought the momentum might be shifted towards the fijians, josh adams scored his hat—trick try, a wonderful off—load from jonathan davies to set him up, diving into the corner, and thatjust allowed wales to get a bit of a foothold into this game. liam williams added a bit of gloss to the scoreline with a bit of gloss to the scoreline with a fo

wales is at a watershed moment. the world is spinning on its axis, and all the focus is now on a no—deal brexit, but wales has had no deal, no plan, no policy for the last 100 years, since forcing germans to produce coal for free or left wales overnight without a market. wales is the fifth largest exporter of electricity in the world, placed above energy norway, even. but despite that fact, there are factories in wales with full order books that cannot expand simply because they cannot afford to connect to the national grid, whose patchy footprint in wales means their name here is something of a fiction. we are a 21st—century nation, with 19th—century problems. we need something on the scale of the marshall plan after world war ii, the solidarity fund in post—unification germany, such as the size of the wealth gap in this so—called united kingdom. unionists say they value this union. we have started the stopwatch, you are on borrowed time. now it's your chance to prove it. imagine what we could do with a s

quite a cloudy start for most of england and wales. we've got this threat of showery rain towards east anglia and the south east, especially near the coast in the morning. elsewhere, few if any showers around by the afternoon, probably a bit more sunshine too, ten in the central belt, 111 for southern parts of england and wales. colder start, i think, on tuesday for england and wales, some fog patches lasting well into the morning. after those clear, there should be a good deal of sunshine. still largely dry further north, a bit more cloud, but a decent day for eastern scotland and also around the moray firth. hello, this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. the headlines: the government says it's pressing ahead with efforts to pass a brexit deal this week, in spite of a letter the prime minister was obliged to send to brussels last night asking for a delay. we are going to leave on october the 31st, we have the means and the ability to do so. the prime minister's determination is absolute, and i am with him in this — we must leave on oc

but persistent across the high ground of wales, the peaks on the pennines. we could see 50 to 70 millimetres of rain, that is quite a lot. the risk of some flooding impacts. a sliver of brighter weather across more central portions of the uk. it stays mild to the south of our weather front with temperatures up to 17 celsius. but to the north and west that is where we have got the cooler and fresher air. this weekend, a mixture of sunshine and showers for quite a few of us on saturday but sunday looks like the cloudy day. more rain and targeting england and wales. in more detail, that we can start like this. rain across southern counties of england, quite a grim day across the far south—east with rain persistent here for much of the day. the further north and west you go the brighter it gets, the sun coming through but heavy showers and thunder. fresher, cooler day, the mildest weather hanging on in the channel islands. sunday, rain widely and it could linger across parts of eastern england. as it slowly moves away there is the potential for stronger winds

dan wales arrived full of expectation. six nations grand slam winners, unbeaten in japan, these six nations grand slam winners, unbeaten injapan, these days they are firm favourites in such big games. now they had to live up to that status and extend the farewell of their legendary coach warren gatland in this, his last tournament in charge. he won't have enjoyed this, though, france started superbly as first the giant and then charles oliver on put them 12—0 up inside eight minutes. which france would turn up? now we knew. wales needed to respond. they immediately did so. aaron wainwright pouncing and going clear. with officials under pressure to clamp down on high tackles, moriarty was always going to pay for this. while he was in the thin bin, his team were punished. —— while he was in the sin bin. france needed to keep their discipline. instead, an act of violence as daft as it was dangerous here. the fans showed what they thought, the officials agreed, france would play the last half hour one man down. although

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. proud of us when we went to 16—16 but obviously we piggyback to the penalties down the park and south africa took advantage so congratulations to them. really proud of these guys, they've given 100%, they continue to do so and we got ourselves back in that game, really close contest. absolutely gutted, it could have gone either way. was it a bit of a sickener? a third one? fourth for me, to be honest, i went to the football well! 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 fin

wales exhausted but still unbeaten. so wales survive a thriller against fiji to make the quarterfinals with a game to spare, while earlier the pressure was on scotland, as they knew only a win would do against russia. and scotland got off to the perfect start adam hastings, son of former captain gavin, settling any early nerves. russia needed a comeback but instead found only calamity. a horrible slip gifted hastings another, and from there russia were run ragged, as scotland ran in nine tries to keep their world cup hopes alive. they now have to beat hosts japan in their final group game. however, organisers have yet to confirm what their plans are for dealing with an incoming typhoon, so no—one yet knows where, when or if scotland's game will go ahead. katy gornall, bbc news, injapan. 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 austin halewood. coming up on the programme. into the quarters. wales survive a scare against fiji to book their pl

for most of finland and wales and eastern scotland, it should be dry on wednesday. —— england and wales. some rain setting in across northern ireland and western scotland. you're watching beyond 100 days. ten days to go until brexit and still mps haven't given their agreement to the deal negotiated by boris johnson last week. it means the first vote on the legislation won't be until tomorrow— as the government pledges to push ahead with getting all the laws through by the end of the week. the government wanted a simple ‘yes' or ‘no' vote on the deal today— but the speaker of the house refused, saying it had already been brought before mps on saturday. my ruling is that therefore the motion will not be debated today as it would be repetitive and disorderly to do so. the government promises to publish the withdrawal agreement bill this evening— our first look at how it intends to turn its agreement into domestic law.

in south wales. that is coming close to five inches of rain. it is no surprise there are several flood warnings in the area. this weather front responsible for it is starting to shift and moving southward and eastward this afternoon. you have low pressure anchored to the north of the country, that is bringing blustery conditions with plenty of showers and wintriness over high ground. plenty of sunshine, some of that getting into northern and western parts of england and into wales as the main rain band starts to slip into the eastern parts of england. it will turn much wetter across the london area to east anglia later on today. still quite windy as well, very gusty across the south coast there. a blustery day, windy across the north of scotland. temperature—wise, much colder where you have the clear skies the north. generally in single digits by the end of the day. but still mid teens celsius in the south—east. 0nce end of the day. but still mid teens celsius in the south—east. once the cloud

into the evening, and the rain makes further progress into south wales. perhaps towards hampshire as well. that is making progress because the high pressure is going to slide away into continental europe. at the same time, those weather fronts approaching will be very weak and it is light and patchy rain and drizzle that is going to be affecting perhaps northern ireland, more likely pushing east. there is certainly going to be a lot more cloud around. it is still only 9 or 10 degrees further south, we may get 13 or more. that first weather front very weak and the next weather system has got a bit more about it, that is going to bring a bit more rain, and most of that is going to be tracking its way across wales, the south—west of england probably in the morning and up towards the midlands and the south—east in the afternoon. further north, any rain is very light and patchy and again much of scotland may well be dry. temperatures just creeping up a little bit here and further south, we are looking at highs of 15 or 16 degrees. on friday, milder air is

brightening up for many of us in wales and northern england by the end of the afternoon. sunny spells in scotland and northern ireland with a few showers. blustery winds in northern scotland. still quite windy along the south coast of england, but the winds will slowly be easing as we go deeper into the day. and the colder air is gradually winning out. just the far southeast in the rain by the end of the afternoon, holding onto temperatures into the mid teens. and that rain, after a wet saturday evening, finally then pulls away here. still a rash of showers overnight, into sunday, pushing into parts of scotland and northern ireland. wintry on the hills. clocks go back on saturday night, the end of british summertime. nothing to do with the weather but actually appropriately enough, as we go into sunday, it is the cold air, the chilly feel that has won out. but that is a big change where it has been so wet for the past few days. so a colder start across the uk on sunday morning. we may well see a touch of frost in places, but this is the big difference to part two of the w

wales will play south africa next sunday. our sports editor, dan roan, reports. a second home nation is through to the semifinals of the rugby world cup, wales securing a last—gasp, very dramatic victory against their french opponents. it was france who started by far the better, two early tries, wales then responded through aaron wainwright, who scored a try of his own. at that point, it was anybody‘s, france were 19—10 up at half—time, but then the turning point, early in the second half, sebastien vahaamahina, the giant french lock, elbowed wainwright during a maul on the wales line, there was no need for it, but during the remaining half hour, of course, there were reduced to 1a men. it looks like time was running out, wales struggling to make that advantage count, but in the final reckoning, moriarty it was who popped up to score the decisive try, dan biggar converted to edge wales head for the very first time in the match, and so they are through to a second semifinal in the last three world cups, and they will now believe, having not been at their

wales running out 29 points— 17 and through to the quarter—finals. they have been through a hell battle here. a scorcher in shizuoka and scotland's fans arrived knowing the heat was very much on. anything other than victory against russia, and their world cup hopes would be finished. so how about this for the perfect start? adam hastings, son of former captain gavin, settling any early nerves. russia needed a comeback, but instead found only calamity. first a horrible slip gifted hastings another. and if that was a touch embarrassing, well, watch this. george horne handed a try on a plate, barely 20 minutes gone and scotland already out of sight. but crucially, they needed a fourth try and with it, a vital bonus point and soon after the break, they got it in style. darcy graham's brilliance setting up george horne once again and it wasjob done. from there russia was simply run ragged. with george horne going on to complete an impressive hat—trick. a thumping, morale boosting win, then, for scotland and a place in the quarterfinals could still be th

rugby now — and it's a huge weekend for both england and wales at the world cup injapan. england coach eddiejones has made a number of changes for the team's semifinal against new zealand tomorrow. meanwhile, wales have had to deal with injury concerns ahead of their crucial clash against south africa on sunday. from tokyo, our sports editor dan roan reports. they weren't the conditions england would have chosen to train in but nothing was going to prevent final preparations for the biggest game of their lives. the reign of eddiejones began after the last world cup ended in failure, but having guided this team to the brink of the final, the head coach told me just how much it meant. i'm pleased we've put pride back into english rugby. i'm pleased for this group of players. a lot of them had to endure 2015, it was a tough time for them. they've been exceptional in the way they've attacked this world cup and saturday's a great opportunity for us to attack the new zealanders. 2a years ago, england met the full force of the all blacks in a world cup semifinal. the four tries
