but and my mind we can get there. but the biggest challenge is raising the money they need in less than a month. 24—hour end they are yet to reach £1000 on the crowdfunding page. yeovil town ladies are currently bottom of women's super league 1, it will be a challenge on and off the pitch to keep them there. around an hour to go before wales crucial world cup qualifier against republic of ireland in wales tonight. it is worth reminding ourselves what it means to the fans. this clip was doing the rounds on social media as an egypt fan celebrated. his celebration reflective of the fact of the first world cup they have reached in 27 yea rs. world cup they have reached in 27 years. it is nice to remind ourselves what it means to the fans. whatever the outcome we will be witnessing scenes like that and night for wales or the republic of

ireland. for now that is all from sportsday. coming up in a moment there is plenty more news here on there is plenty more news here on the bbc. you are watching bbc news. the prime minister has given her strongest indication yet that the uk is preparing for the possibility of the leaving the eu without a trade deal. she says the ball is now in the eu court for the next age. butjeremy corbyn has accused her of a chaotic approach to the talks. chris morris is here with me. theresa may has decided the only way to get things moving the way the uk would like in these negotiations is playing hardball. the aye i think she is trying to do both, we want to talk and we want to move on, but don't

forget we have other options. we have seen that in the two white papers we saw published this afternoon, one on trade and one on customs. they talk about things that we sort of know, a frictionless trade with the eu. we don't want a ha rd trade with the eu. we don't want a hard border with northern ireland, we wa nt hard border with northern ireland, we want to set our own trade policy. but they also set out in more detail that we have seen before, what would happen in the event of no deal. there is contingency planning. we have told that is a long time now, what would happen if there is no deal. these papers set out this in more detail than we have seen before. the international trade secretary has been talking about that this evening. we want to get a deal, but we will prepare for what will happen without a deal. a lot of work is underway to ensure that if we come to the end of the negotiation period and our european partners have not been willing to come into a deal with us, then we will leave without one. what we set out today in our white paper on

trade and customs, where some of the legal powers we would have to take to enable that to happen. but again we hope that when the case. preparatory work has been going on for some time in the event of no deal coming back from these negotiations, but she is now putting it front and centre. what do you think the likely response from brussels will be? i think they will understand that that planning has to go ahead. they themselves will need to think about what happens if we have no deal. we saw the german equivalent of the cbi, the employers federation, say a few days ago, that no deal is becoming increasingly likely. german businesses need to think hard about what will happen if thatis think hard about what will happen if that is the case. nobody wants it to happen. look at the customs paper that came out today for example. it talks about the type of tariffs that the uk would be willing to apply, and the customs bill later this autumn will set that out as a possibility for the government to have the power to do that. it talks

about high—volume roll on roll off ferry ports. it says consignments should be pre—notified to the customs authority to avoid disruption as much as possible. you read between the lines and you understand both the uk and eu, no deal will mean disruption. nobody really wa nts deal will mean disruption. nobody really wants that. the message the uk is time to send is that we are trying to prepare for all eventualities so don't take for granted. thank you. let's talk now to an mep for the south—east of england who has been stripped of the conservative party whip after voting against moves to start trade talks between the uk and the eu. first of all, theresa may has made it clear today in her statement to parliament that she believes the talks are going well, that she believes the uk side has put forward enough meat on the bones of the kind of brexit deal that they would like to see. and now

the ball is in brussels' court. you don't seem to agree with that?” hope she is right, there is another round of talks going on today. it is the fifth round. but significantly it is the last round before the 27 prime ministers meet next week to determine whether enough progress has been made all night daly or not. it is not the meps that make the decision, contrary to your information, it is the council. what we have been asked to do is a technicaljudgment on the issues under phase one of article 50. had enough progress being made in order to advise the council that they can authorise the starting of phase two. i looked at it, listen to the arguments, and with the deepest regret i came to the conclusion that no, we have not got sufficient agreement on any of the three issues, citizens rights, northern

ireland, financial arrangements. we don't have enough progress and in my opinion there is no point in fast tracking to the second phase until you have that done, because it would not shorten the negotiation. but what it would do is diminish the opportunity of getting a very agreeable brexit deal. why would that be? because if the other issues are settled, they would be the hostage to fortune as it were, as pa rt hostage to fortune as it were, as part of the trade talks? yes they would. they are talking about a hard brexit being the last case scenario, andi brexit being the last case scenario, and i hope it is. but remember even if you got to that, you still have got to resolve these issues. you still have to resolve citizens rights. that is not going away and people are writing to me in droves saying they are extremely worried. the question of the northern ireland border, if you're going to reinstate such a border, the prime minister said promised there wouldn't be one.

the people of the uk are very concerned that we could control our borders and the free flow of citizens from the eu. you can't do that without a border. and last of all, the financial settlement. even if we walked away and said we're not paying. imagine if that was on the other foot, paying. imagine if that was on the otherfoot, imagine if scotland had left the uk. using england or wales would have said that's ok, don't forget about the bill —— forget about the bill, it doesn't matter? i hope there is still time for us to reach an agreement. it sounds as if you don't want to make sure the will of the people is enacted. it sounds as if you want to stop brexit in its tracks. no i don't. people have accepted that we are leaving the eu. when i looked around and talk to people, they see the value of the pound down. they see the credit

rating down. they say investment down. they see growth down. they look to the political leaders for a plan and see and both parties, parties that seem to be more in obsessed with infighting than delivering a plan. now when they look to see progress, sadly they find that there isn't any or not enough and therefore time is ticking away and hard brexit is looming. thank you. now for the weather. it is drizzly and murky out there for some of us, that weather pattern will not change over the next 48 hours. when i say not change much, we hours. when i say not change much, we will keep keep the south—westerly winds and mild weather. the cloud will change radically, some will have thick cloud, for others it will break up from time to time. this

picture from today really says it all. it is not one coherent area of cloud, there are lots of breaks, but also some rain bearing cloud. in this situation, where we have moist winds of the atlantic, we tend to get heavier rain across the hills, certainly around western scotland, the lake district and the welsh hills as well. this on and off like rain, will continue through the night. the most towns and cities it is not too wet tonight. when the weather front moves through it lightens up the most of this, and then another one moves through. by then another one moves through. by the end of the day rain for belfast and certainly for western scotland. you're watching beyond 100 days...

so much for dignity — american political discourse just hit rock bottom. the white house is an adult day care center that lacks supervision. and that's from one of the most senior republicans in congress. bob corker is the top republican on the senate foreign relations committee and he's just said publicly what many in his party are saying in private. the white house issues strict conditions on immigration — if you're a young person in america illegally, your chances of staying just got slimmer. was it a political stunt or a principled stand? vice president mike pence walks out when players at a football game kneel during the national anthem. also on the programme... anyone for tennis? the back and forth of brexit diplomacy, but what happens
