chili spots for north—east scotland. weather fronts poised to move in for tuesday could spoil the weather a little. we start off with sunshine, weather fronts across the north and west, and won a crossing and then wales will push northwards through the day. some of the rain across england and wales could be thundery, and quite heavy across got that into the afternoon. but not a wash—out, you will notice. plenty of sunny spells around through the afternoon here. top temperatures, 23. then it goes downhill on wednesday, potential for very stormy weather around. the first named storm of the season, storm agnes, named by the met office. here it is during tuesday night into wednesday, hurtling across the atlantic, deepening rapidly as it approaches ireland, but it will start to weaken as it moves across our shores. still the potential of some disruption. gusts of 60—70 mph around irish sea coast. potentially a little higher, then late in the day, strong winds across scotland. accompanying the wind, heavy rain, mainly across ireland, putting across northern ireland, putting across northern ireland in towards western parts of

as cricket will say it wants to change the game as it responds to a report detailing sexism, racism and elitism in sport. not so steady for eddiejones — as australia are crushed by wales at the rugby world cup, with questions over the future of the former england boss. and chelsea's struggles roll on. another defeat for them, and now their worst start to a league season since 1978. hello there, and welcome along to sportsday this lunchtime. some more now on that story concerning the england and wales cricket board — who've promised to take wide ranging actions to make it the most inclusive sport in the country — and will introduce an independent cricket regulator. it's following a report that found widespread and deep rooted racism, sexism, elitism earlier this year. they also plan to invest £25 million a year into the women's game. our sports editor dan roan
1:35 pm
is at headingley for us, the home of yorkshire, with more. the game has undergone a period of soul—searching, really, overthe last three months. and nowhere has that process be more relevant then here at the home of yorkshire county cricket club. it was involved in a racism scandal two years ago, it was heavily criticised for the way that it handled the allegations of its former player and it was fined hundreds and thousands of pounds and docked 48 points in the county championship by the ecb earlier this year. at this saga and scandal spreads well beyond just one county. as you said, three months ago, the independent commission for equity in cricket produced a damning report that found the game across england and wales have deep—rooted racism, sexism and elitism. it urged the sport to reset and gave it 44
1:36 pm
recommendations. now immediately at that point the ecb apologise and it failed to make transformative change to trying become the most inclusive sport in the country. it revealed more about what it intends to do. most of those recommendations they say they will enact, for example, establishing a new regulator to conduct investigations into matters of anti—corruption and anti—discrimination as well. and improve the independence of its regulatory process. it setting up action plans to try and remove some of the barriers to members of i think, minority communities who think, minority communities who think that the game is not for them, for women as well who felt, and the report said this, that they were treated as second—class citizens. students of state schools, for example, and those in lower economic groups. crucially, one of the things that the ecb said it is going to do
1:37 pm
is invest £25 million more to try and boost the women and girls game. they are already committed to equality of match fees when it comes to england and men and women players. one thing they can't do at this stage because of financial constraints ins meet the icc report's recommendations of having equal pay of match fees by 2025 and 2029 in domestic cricket and 2013 international cricket. they say that thatis international cricket. they say that that is too early to commit to. there are a couple of rest days at the rugby world cup before uruguay take on namibia on wednesday. and the momentum is with the welsh in france. warren gatland has said he "expected wales to win" their world cup group match against australia last night. gatland's side won 40—6 in lyon — running in three tries — gareth davies with the opening try after just four minutes. nick tompkins added a second,
1:38 pm
before jac morgan rounded things off, securing their biggest—ever win against australia. it means wales become the first side into the quarterfinals, with a final pool game to come against georgia on 7th october in nantes. we're such a small nation, as a tieri nation, in terms of our playing numbers. and we are proud of the fact the success has been based on hard work and punching above our weight. and we get confidence from results like tonight and building momentum and that makes us more dangerous going forward. well, eddiejones believes he is still the right person for the job despite australia's capitulation. the defeat has left their rugby world cup hopes hanging by a thread. following last week's setback against fiji, the wallabies are facing a humiliating pool stage exit. jones apologised for his side's performance, but is confident he can turn things around. i'm a proud australian. i hate to see australian rugby do as poorly as we've been doing, particularly under my reign. you know, came back
1:39 pm
to want to try to help, but there's not only the wallabies we've got to improve, we've got to improve the whole system of australian rugby. and that's not an excuse. but we've just got to, we've got to have a really good look at ourselves and see what we've got to do to improve the way we're going about our rugby. it was australia's heaviest defeat in a world cup match. their record sincejones took over injanuary is one win and seven losses. so what's been the reaction in australia? these fans in sydney weren't surprised i think you'vejust i think you've just got to stop and go back to basics. we have a game now which is devoid of skills. historically, if you go through all the great rugby that was smaller players who are very skilled. they were adept at what they do and how they did it and they were an absolute pleasure to watch. i'm not a fan at the moment of that style _
1:40 pm
i'm not a fan at the moment of that style yeah, — i'm not a fan at the moment of that style. yeah, just had my beer and forget _ style. yeah, just had my beer and forget about it.— style. yeah, just had my beer and forget about it. so how secure is eddiejones�* future? sacking coach him is "the worst thing" the wallabies can do according to former captain stirling mortlock. mortlock believes rugby australia should letjones lead the side into the 2027 world cup — a tournament which australia are hosting. others think his tenure will be ended sooner especialy in light oa especialy in light of a story in the sydney morning herald which claimed jones had secretly interviewed for the japan coaching role just weeks before the world cup started. jones denied that was true in his post—match press conference after the wales defeat. it would take... it's very hard to see eddiejones surviving beyond this. whether or not it's eddie jones being sacked or resigned, they don't want to pay him a $5 million deal, that's a lot of money. if
1:41 pm
indeed jones has been speaking to the japan football rugby union that i am sure that that would negotiate a way that they wouldn't have to pay out. i can't see them sacking purely because of the financial aspect of the game. chelsea manager mauricio pochettino has his players must "grow up like a team". after their poor start to the premier league season, they lost 1—0 at home aston villa yesterday, ollie watkins with the goal. pochettino's expensively assembled side haven't scored in their last three games, and sit 14th with just one win in six matches, making it their worst start to a league campaign in 45 years. i think we are... confident in the way that we perform only we are missing the school. we need to never give up and keep working because we would change in a way that we are working.
1:42 pm
two—time world cup winner megan rapinoe ended her international career on a high with her usa side beating south africa 2—0 in chicago last night. rapinoe still has a few more regular—season games for the 0l reign, before her glittering career comes to an end. throughout her career she's also used her platform to make an impact beyond the pitch, fighting for equal pay and social justice. rapinoe has been giving her view on the crisis that has recently engulfed spanish football. triggered by the former federation president luis rubiales kissing jenni hermoso without her consent in the medals ceremony following spains�* world cup victory over england. they are just incredibly deserving to be welcomed champions, their performance was amazing. especially knowing everything that they were going through makes it even more impressive. i've been in a situation like that and know how difficult it is. i would encourage the spanish federation, as i said so many times, there is no limit for them, there is no winning and digging into the
1:43 pm
position that they are, you have a really unique opportunity to get behind a first time world champion and a federation and a programme seems like it's been for a really long time. i would partner with them. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. thanks for watching. and we will see you a bit later on. hello and welcome back. im frankie mccamley. let's return now to bournemouth where the liberal democrats are holding their party conference. and earlier, the party's leader sir ed davey took to a canoe to promote his policy on stopping sewage dumping into rivers.
1:44 pm
but other policies are harder to portray visually, for example, the lib dems have now dropped their longstanding commitment to put a penny on income tax — and instead, want to increase levies on big companies like banks. a little earlier bbc south's political editor, peter henley sent this update. it's a wonderful sunny day on the south coast, and the lib dems are in good heart. it's the first time they have got together for four years, longer than the other political parties, because their conference was cancelled at very short notice because of the death of the queen, and covid before that. so whilst they are pleased to see each other and it's all smiles, beneath the surface, some tensions amongst old friends start to come back up again. brexit, how to deal with the housing crisis and ditching some old policies maybe to appeal to conservative voters who they are now targeting in this blue wall. with me is sir vince cable,
1:45 pm
former leader of the party. getting rid of a policy that has been here since 1992, i remember charles kennedy talking about a penny on income tax to help the nhs. you must miss it. well, if you remember during the coalition, one of the lib dems' achievements was cutting income tax on lower earners and we aren't going to trash that tradition. there is an issue about taxation at the moment, but the last thing you do is to tax earners. they are the people who have done well and the tax base has got to change. there is no economic or political sense in taxing families through their income, so i think it is sensible and appropriate that ed davey is shifting the emphasis. maybe needing to protect household finances, but what about getting growth into the economy? what about tax cuts?
