cannot be countenanced that means a slight pause and one of the problems with saturday placement decision is that it was rushed, they could have taken another 15, 20 seconds and had the proper communication to make sure that it wasn't a mistake. that would be betterfor the whole league. the people who matter most should be the match going fans and they are the ones who have communicated with least so you have got to play the audio live in the stadiums. got to play the audio live in the stadiums. australia's hopes of reaching the rugby world cup quarterfinals are still alive, but onlyjust, after a 3k points to ia victory over portugal in their final pool match in france. portugal had taken an early 5—3 lead, but eddiejones' side ran in five tries to secure a bonus—point win. australia led 24—7 at half—time and secured the fourth bonus—point try, which keeps them in contention for a place in the final eight. it puts them second in pool c, but fiji need just one point from their own match against portugal next week to overtake australia and qualify

they say the improvements will cost £96 billion from 2025. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisher reports. we will run out of water not within the next 50 years, but within the next five to 10, if we do nothing. east anglia is the driest part of the uk, and making sure there's enough water for everyone is a recurring headache for the local water company. climate change is the biggest challenge we face as a company. this is part of the solution. put my plate down the back, yeah? a huge pipeline project costing more than half a billion pounds. it will transport water from the wettest to the driest areas, and eventually stretch more than 180 miles. it's taking water from north lincolnshire, where we know we have more rain, bringing it down to norfolk, suffolk, and essex, where we have a lot less. there's widespread agreement that, after years of under—investment, our water and sewage infrastructure just isn't up to the job.

it's going to take billions of pounds and big projects like this one to fix it. and the bad news is that it's you and i, through our bills, who's going to have to pay for it. today, the water companies put a price on it, telling the regulator they want to spend £96 billion from 2025 to 2030. they say it will be used to build new reservoirs, plug leaky pipes, and reduce the flow of raw sewage into our waterways. we'll be challenging and scrutinising company plans to show that costs are efficient and to ensure that they are good value for money and that companies are able to deliver on their promises to clean up rivers and seas. the water companies say the extra cost for the average bill payer will be £81; a year in 2025, rising to more than £150 extra by 2030. what would you say to someone

at home who says, "why should i pay? the water company have taken dividends, profits, it should be up to them." so the balance that this plan needs to make is that between being ambitious for the region and being affordable for customers, the investment is paid for upfront by our by our shareholders, our capital investment. and that is then reclaimed through customer bills over the lifetime of an asset, and that is the regulatory model we operate in. the regulator now has a year to decide whether these plans and price rises will get the go—ahead. jonah fisher, bbc news. the boss of one of britain's biggest retailers, john lewis, is to stand down at the end of her five—year term, in 2025. dame sharon white has faced controversy, including a proposal to change the employee—owned structure of the partnership, which was later shelved. our business editor simonjack told

us about the background to the move: she had been having some problems in the last couple of years. thejohn lewis partnership announced a big loss of over £200 million last year. they lost a further £57 million in the first six months of this year, so she had her critics. i mean, in many ways, she was a trailblazer, the first woman to be the chair of thejohn lewis partnership, which also owns waitrose. she was the first person of colour to take that role. but when she steps down, actually in 2025, her successor is expected to be announced next year, but she'll serve herfive—year term to 2025, she'll be the shortest serving chair by quite a long way in the partnership's near 100—year history. this is a job you usually take on for the best part of a decade or even more. when she was first appointed there were some eyebrows raised because this is a woman who was a civil servant, cut her teeth in the treasury. she then went on to become a regulator as head of 0fcom with no real retail experience. so a lot of people were surprised by her appointment.

under her the chair took a more executive chairman role, a bit more hands on. in the old days, you would have a managing director of waitrose and a managing director ofjohn lewis. that was kind of consolidated a little bit and she kind of took on that structure. it hasn't particularly worked. now, to be fair to her, obviously we had a pandemic that was thrown at her and also the worst cost—of—living crisis we've seen since the second world war, so a very difficult environment in which to operate. and, like all other retailers and particularly department stores, we've seen others go bust, debenhams, for example, you have got changes in the way people shop. physical space not seen as as important and john lewis had been on a big expansion drive at a time when physical space was seen to be less important. so some people will say there are strategic errors there. she says this is the right time, having gone through the worst of the cost—of—living crisis, to now ensure an orderly transition. but she will be the shortest serving chair in the partnership's history.

now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. for the north and the west today we're looking at a mixture of blustery showers and some sunshine, but we've got this clutch of weather fronts in the south. it's been a murky start across england and wales with a lot of cloud, mist, some fog, as well. as we go through the course of the afternoon, if anything, we still will hang on to the cloud, but we'll see some heavy rain develop and some of that will be thundery. meanwhile, the showers in the north and the west continue, some of them getting over towards the east and quite blustery, as well. temperatures are fresher — 13 to 17 across scotland, northern england and northern ireland, but a warmer, more humid 22 in london. as we head on through the evening and overnight, this weatherfront producing all this rain continues to move over towards the near continent. behind it, it will turn fresher and we'll also have a plethora of showers in the north and the west and still blustery. the wind strengthening in the far north of the country,

but it's going to feel fresher too in the south—east, where it has been quite humid for a while. tomorrow, the weather front clears the way, we've got a weak weather front coming in behind and the breeze coming from the west or the north—west. that's going to blow in quite a lot of showers across northern and western areas, but some of them will make it over to the east, but in between there will be some sunshine, but you really will notice the breeze tomorrow. temperatures fresher than today in southern areas, looking at 12 to about 19 degrees. then, as we move from tuesday into wednesday, well, we've got a clutch of weather fronts which are going to show their hand coming in across northern ireland and scotland initially, crossing northern england later. high pressure hanging on in the south and the isobars ever present, telling you that it's going to be another breezy day. the rain crosses northern ireland, scotland, gets into northern england. as it moves away, behind it we'll see some showers. for the rest of england and wales, under this ridge of high pressure,

there will be a lot of dry weather and some sunshine. temperatures 12 to about 19 degrees north to south. as we move on into thursday, while breezy with some rain really across the north and the west, cloudy with a few spots of light, rain or drizzle as we push further south and east. then, for friday, there'll be more sunshine in southern areas, but wet and windy in the north.
