they must win in the same manner against romania next week to keep their hopes of progesssing alivei n pool b, before a showdown with ireland. wales will qualify for the quarterfinals with a game to spare if they beat the two—time champions australia in lyon later. the wallabies are in precarious position in the pool following their defeat to fiji. 0ur correspondent andy swiss is at this match. well come to lyon, whether well fans will arrive. the equation is relatively simple. if wales win, they are through to the knockout stages. if they lose, everything is “p stages. if they lose, everything is up in the air. bonus points are crucial in a script even if wales do lose, a bonus point or two would be very handy. wales played really well

in their opening match against fiji, not so well in the next game against portugal. perhaps not surprisingly, they have reverted to the team that beat fiji. wales have a very good record in recent world cups ever reaching the knockout stage. they have reached knockout stage at the last three tournaments so they are hoping to make it four in a row and when you bear in mind the doom and gloom that surrounded welsh rugby just a few months ago, that would be no mean feat. their coach says he is proud of what his team have done so far. ~ . . proud of what his team have done so far. . ., ., ., , _ proud of what his team have done so far. . ., ., ., , ,, ., ., far. we are all happy, we want to ut some far. we are all happy, we want to put some pride — far. we are all happy, we want to put some pride back _ far. we are all happy, we want to put some pride back in _ far. we are all happy, we want to put some pride back in the - far. we are all happy, we want to put some pride back in the welsh jersey. it doesn't take long to lose it and i don't think that we have had the respect of the rugby world in terms of performance and results and that has been a big objective of hours over the last few months. it hours over the last few months. it is a big night for wales but for australia, the stakes are even higher after their defeat to fiji

last weekend. what that means is that if they lose tonight wales, they are effectively out of the tournament. that will be the first time in world cup history that australia will have failed to reach the knockout stage. their coach is under huge pressure. eddiejones, formerly the coach of the england team. he has come in with huge criticism for his team selection. he has left behind quite a lot of experienced players in australia. he was in a typical spiky mood in the press conference earlier this week. he says he has no doubt that australia will win this match but if they don't win this match, you can imagine there will be a lot of soul and eddiejones says he is sorry the results haven't been better. i and eddie jones says he is sorry the results haven't been better.- results haven't been better. i don't think i've hundred _ results haven't been better. i don't think i've hundred percent - results haven't been better. i don't think i've hundred percent done . results haven't been better. i don't| think i've hundred percent done the best thing for australia and i apologise to the results. i get done on my knees and do the japanese thing if you want me to. i can't

apologise any more, guys. i'm really sorry we haven't had better results but what i know is what we are doing is right for australia.— is right for australia. tough times for eddie jones _ is right for australia. tough times for eddie jones and _ is right for australia. tough times for eddie jones and for— is right for australia. tough times for eddie jones and for australia. | for eddiejones and for australia. they have made three changes to the team that lost to fiji but perhaps the most important change is a position one. ben donaldson who has played at full—back in their opening two matches, he will now play at fly instead of the injured carter gordon. and australia are hoping they will get there when they need to keep their world cup hopes alive. a lot is riding on that match. they have just finished in a lot is riding on that match. they havejust finished in nice between scotland and tonga. 45—17 to the scots. they got their bonus when and they got a late try. those points difference could be crucial in the final reckoning as they look to somehow get out of that tough pool. let's get to the day's premier league matches. an astonishing win for newcastle coming up but we'll start

with the first north london derby of the season ending 2—2 at the emirates stadium. arsenal took the lead twice, but tottenham captain son heung—min pulled his team back into it on both occasions. here's our sports correspondent natalie pirks. when it comes to the north london derby, history favours the arsenal. 13 years had passed since tottenham last won here in the league and the gunners fancied continuing that trend. a big slice of luck will make that leg, helping them get off the mark. but when james madison that leg, helping them get off the mark. but whenjames madison left his england team—mate for dust, son heung—min was a recipient. this point blank handle judged to heung—min was a recipient. this point blank handlejudged to be heung—min was a recipient. this point blank handle judged to be a penalty. arsenal's lead lasted a mere second. this pulsating

against the run of play with a penalty after he was fouled. jarrod bowen levelled for west ham with an excellent stooping header. that was as good as it got for the hammers though as darwin nunez scored a fine volley and diogojota tapped in late on as liverpool extended their unbeaten run to 18 games. today was a really mature performance and that is super important because you can be exciting but you need to be really composed, resilient, you need to be solid in moments and i saw all that. after their midweek defeat in the europa league, brighton responded by beating bournemouth 3—1. kaoru mitoma came off the bench and scored twice. they are up to third and are now the premier league's top scorers with 18 goals from their six matches, two more than leaders manchester city.

we are very happy because we showed big characterfrom we are very happy because we showed big character from a we are very happy because we showed big characterfrom a big passion, big characterfrom a big passion, big behaviour. we wanted the victory giving our best. it's important because we can't win every game playing great football. chelsea's poor start to the season continues, losing 1—0 at home to aston villa. 0llie watkins scored the only goal of the game with chelsea down to ten men in the second half after malo gusto's sending off. villa are up to 6th while the blues remain 14th. it is disappointing because again, villa were the better side until, we deserve more. it's disappointing, again. i think the team gave

everything and at the moment, so far, we need to keep working. before sheffield united and newcastle's match, tributes were paid to united women's midfielder maddy cusack who died on wednesday at the age of 27. she was the longest serving player in the blades women's side and reached 100 appearances for the team last season. a wreath was laid on the centre spot at bramall lane and the crowd paid their respects, remembering maddy with a sustained round of applause. as for the match itself, sheffield united were thrashed 8—0 by newcastle. sean longstaff fired newcastle ahead

to the russian aslan karatsev. despite leading for much of the final round of the french open, england'sjordan smith eventually had to settle for a share of second place. smith finished on 12 under par, two shots behind the winner ryo hisatsune of japan. centuries from shubman gill and shreyas iyer helped india to a 99 run victory over australia in the second one day international in indore. india have an unassailable 2—0 lead in the three match series. francesco bagnaia's lead in the moto gp riders' championship has been cut to 13 points after he crashed out of the inaugral indian grand prix. pole sitter marco bezzecchi won the race, with championship contenderjorge martin finishing second. max verstappen was back on top of the podium in japan earlier today. that means red bull have won the constructors championship and the driver's title could follow as early as the next race in a fortnight. ben croucher reports.

this is what you get for winning in formula 1. to do it, you have to stay out of trouble, far easier at the front and behind the japanese grand prix was categorised by crashes early on. it was a corner for confusion and a clash of carbon fibre. it didn't help sergio perez either. forced to retire with damage. 0ut front, his team—mate verstappen was making serene progress, is carrying the constructors title for his red bull team. as for most of the season, the real battle was who joined him in the top three. lando norris had

won the race last year, clocked two hours 11 minutes 53 seconds in the german capital to eclipse the mark set by kenya's brigid kosgei at the 2019 chicago marathon. she took home $50,000 for winning the race and a 50,000 bonus for breaking the record. eliud kipchoge won the men's race for the fifth time but couldn't break his own world record. the kenyan's time of 2 hours, 2 minutes, and 42 seconds was more than a minute and a half off the record he set in berlin last year. beth potter has become the fifth different british woman in 12 years to become triathlon world champion after winning the season ending race in spain. potter came into the event in pontevedra second in the standings. she needed to finish ahead of series leader cassandre beaugrand of france to claim the title. she did just that, winning by 18 seconds ahead of fellow briton kate waff who earned her first triathlon series podium. beaugrand finished third.

i wasn't actually feeling so good today and so i had to work a bit harder and i had to be as smart as possible. ijust bided my time and i was beginning to feel better and better throughout the race and just back to myself and just believed in all my training and trusted my ability in the last 10k. great britain have had their most successful canoe slalom world championships after increasing their gold medal tally today. kimberley woods took gold in the kayak cross which will make its debut at next summer's 0|ympics. woods, who had missed out on a place in the women's kayak final on saturday, secured her first individual world title in impressive fashion at the the lee valley sports centre. great britain finished with five golds, two silvers and one bronze medal

been better prepared. may be just an easier fight and just bide my time and to get my shot, that might have been better. but no risk, no reward and if i had beat him, that would have been great but i didn't. i'm feeling good, i'm feeling 0k, i didn't. i'm feeling good, i'm feeling ok, it's not the end of the world. i can rebuild and come back. credit is newscorp, he's a top fighter, he's a good fighter. as it had to take a different route to get backin had to take a different route to get back in line for the title. no chance of walking away. you can't always win. there's plenty of e—learning to do. he's a tough fighter, i could have gone another route but these things happen and i paid the price but i can rebuild and come back, go a different route and get back into the title. the

european _ get back into the title. the european team _ get back into the title. the european team have - get back into the title. the european team have retained their solheim cup in spain today. the party is just getting started. i will be backed at 7:30pm for another sportsday but until then, goodbye. hello there. wet and very windy weather on the way overnight for some of us. now, as far as the rainfall goes, the heaviest falls of rain will be across western scotland, where we're likely to pick up around 30 to 50 millimetres, double that over the high ground. so there could be some localised flooding building in across parts of scotland. it's all down to an area of low pressure. a rapidly developing low, that's just the south of the republic of ireland. and this will also bring some very strong winds to the far north—west of scotland as well, where overnight we could be looking at gusts of 60 to 70 odd miles an hourfor the hebrides and the highlands.

the heavy rain bringing a risk of some localised flooding as well. further southwards, that band of rain crosses wales and england. by the time it reaches eastern areas, not really a great deal left on it. it's going to be a mild night, gusty south—westerly winds, ensuring that. temperatures around 12 to 15 degrees. now tomorrow, a much brighter day overall with a lot more in the way of sunshine to go around. it's not entirely dry, though, there will be some showers. particularly for scotland, a few for northern ireland and the north of both northern england and north wales as well. the midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england should stay dry with their sunshine and these temperatures continue to be above average for the time of year — 17 to 22 for many of us. now entering into tuesday, it's another unsettled day. a couple of weather systems kind of combined to gang up on us here in the uk bringing, i think, outbreaks of rain for many of us. so rain at times probably best sums up the weather, the wettest weather in the morning across western areas. but by the time we get through the afternoon, rain will become pretty widespread with potentially some of it turning thundery. probably turning a bit brighter

in northern ireland with the main rain band clearing through, but there'll still be a risk of some showers here. temperatures not changing too much — highs for many between 16 and 22 degrees. now for the middle part of the week, we're looking at a deep area of low pressure. this is going to be bringing widespread heavy outbreaks of rain, but some very strong winds as well. inland gusts are expected to reach around 50 to 60 miles an hour, but stronger gusts likely around some of our irish sea coast where we could see gusts of between 65 and even 80 miles an hour. so potentially damaging disruptive gusts of wind with us. with this area of low pressure on wednesday, we're quite likely to see some disruption then towards the middle part of the week. that's today's weather. bye for now.
