start fit? “it via ‘a start with an early to the perfect start with an early try from fenner russell, but japan hit back in incredible style. three tries before half—time and 1121 27 —— in early try from finn russell. it seems that japan were strolling through to the quarterfinals, but back have come scotland with two tries of their own to reduce the deficit to just 28 — 21. around ten minutes left. scotland still have a chance of pulling off what would be a quite extraordinary comeback. remember, japan have never reached the quarterfinals of this tournament. they won three matches at the last world cup. became the first team to win three matches, but not get through to the quarterfinals and now they have a real chance of doing it, but it is going to be a nail—biting final ten minutes. doing it, but it is going to be a nail—biting final ten minutesm has ended. wales beat uruguay 35 points to 13 this morning to top group d,

it means they avoid england in the quarterfinals. nicky smith scored an early try for wales, it looked as though it would be comfortable. but only led by a single point at half time. warren gatland made 13 changes to the team that beat fiji, and it took them a while to break uruguay‘s resistance, german kessler scoring the only try for uruguay in the second half. tomos williams responded to that score, as they eventually ran out 35—13 winners, and they will play france in the last eight. simone biles has become the most succesful gymnast in world championship history as she won her 24th medal in stuttgart, taking gold on the beam her victory on the vault her victory on the vault yesterday drew her level with vitaly scherbo‘s 23—year—old record of 23 medals. she could make it 25, with one more event, the final of the floor to come. and these are live pictures from stuttgart... for gb, earlier dom dunnigham

along the way i will be hanging out with these guys... climbing jagged peaks... easily one of the most beautiful and most difficult hikes i have done. ..and getting a taste of one of the world's most remote food festivals. sucking. laughs. i have to work on my snail sucking technique. yes, i love sarawak so much. everything very unique in sarawak. we have 26 ethnic groups in sarawak. sarawak mean "surrender to you" in malay. my trip starts here in sarawak‘s biggest city, kuching. and does the word kuching mean, it means something special, right? yes, kuching is mean cat, in english, called cat. like the city of cats? yes, cat city.

we are starting here in the state capital kuching, and we are travelling all the way up here to the kelabit highlands. it's going to be a journey. on my first stop, i am going to meet one of the state's most iconic residents. and here he is. the orangutan. so much soul in their eyes. 97% of their dna is shared with humans. that where they get the name — orangutan means "man of the forest." orangutans are native to only two islands in southeast asia. some live on sumatra, but the vast majority live here in borneo. i have come to the semenggoh nature

reserve where the rangers are preparing for the morning feed. it looks like they eat quite well because there is a whole buffet here, and it seems like every day there is a different meal plan. so today is saturday, so they will have 21 kg bananas, and then sweet potatoes, chicken eggs and pineapples. oh, its heavy. maybe 15 kilos. ooh, 0k. where are we at? almost 20. we are ready, 21 kg. so emel, tell me what is special about semenggoh nature reserve? ok, so semenggoh wildlife centre actually started off as a rehab centre, so we were established back in 1975, so it is more than a0 years ago. the reserve took orangutans that had been rescued from captivity or suffered from habitat loss, and taught them to live wild in the surrounding forest.

since then, the rehabilitation programme has been moved elsewhere, but the forest is still home to 33 orangutans, and tourists have a chance to glimpse those tempted back by a free meal. it is very different to a zoo, there no orangutans in cages here. yeah, totally different to a zoo. two in the basket. yes. our ranger, he will... thank you very much. yeah. enjoy. he will bring the food to the main feeding area. when the tourists arrive, a ranger heads to the feeding platform to call the apes. calling. welcome to our centre. coming here is no guarantee you must see the orangutan. if you happen to see one, consider

yourself very lucky already. in the rainy season between november and march there is an abundance of food in the forest, so the orangutans often don't need this extra food. but lucky for us, we don't have to wait long for a sighting. this is edwin, one of the biggest males in the park. and like the ranger said, this is not a zoo. the orangutans can come from any direction at any time, so you have to be careful, especially around the big males like edwin here. while these orangutans are used to people, they are still unpredictable, so tourists are kept at a safe distance. edwin is 23 years old, born in 1996, and he was the first male offspring born in semenggoh.

now fully grown, edwin is competing to become the reserve‘s sole dominant male. only one orangutan dares to approach him on the platform. seduku, rescued from captivity in the 19705, and one of the first to be rehabilitated here. are they a thing? yeah, in a way. we called her the great old lady, because she is the oldest female, age 48 years old. and she is doing still very well. she is a8, he is 23. that is quite a big age difference there, right? yes, but love doesn't see age as a problem. feeding time is over, and there is edwin. i'm nervous. he is massive, so much hair.

if you saw that from behind you wouldn't know what it was. sadly, despite conservation efforts, orangutans face an uncertain future. over a 16 year period, the numbers in borneo fell by more than 100,000. a decline blamed on hunting and deforestation. it is now estimated that there arejust over 100,000 orangutans left on the island. and so the facility here, how does it help? by having a centre like semenggoh, people get a sense of seeing the wild orangutan, and not disturb the orangutan in their natural habitat. and i guess the more people come here, the more they learn, and that also helps as well? definitely, the feeling, the excitement of seeing wild orangutan, bring you closer to conservation efforts, and to be able to share it with people out there, it really means something.

next up i am crossing the state to reach gunung mulu national park, sarawa k‘s largest piece of protected rainforest. this place is teeming with wildlife — over 4,000 species of plants, 20,000 species of invertebrates, that means thousands of different kinds of spiders, beetles and butterflies, but no orangutans, though, not here. mulu is also home to groups of penan, one of the last remaining hunter and gatherer tribes in southeast asia. a lot of their traditional tribal land has been lost to deforestation, so the vast majority now stay in settlements like this one.

plucks instrument. laughs. i didn't expect you to do that. plucks instrument. laughs. ok, with the nose... laughs. so these are flutes, right? blowpipe? you make these? can you show me? i see, so you drill it by hand, so many times... speaks own language. that would be countless hours. there we go. mike corey, blowpipe maker. blowpipes are the penan‘s traditional hunting weapon. they are loaded with darts, tipped with strong poison extracted from the bark of the local tajem tree. and you would use one

of these big ones? wow, it's, look, iam about six feet tall, that would be 1.8 metres. ok, so we are here like this... that one goes in the back. armed and dangerous. you first. safety off. sharp shooter! laughs. i guarantee i will not... like this? like this. and then...

0k. he we go. hopefully there is some beginner's luck. i hit the target?! laughs. further inside the park there is a truly unique landscape. below ground there are some of the world's largest caves, formed from limestone and shaped by millions of years of ground and rainwater. this process also created a bizarre collection of stone spires above the ground. they're called the pinnacles, and i have come all the way up river to base camp 5 to see them. at almost 50 metres tall, the pinnacles are an imposing spectacle. but to get there, sightseers face a three day round trip and a long, brutal trek through the rainforest.

so the guides have some rules in place to make sure tourists are up to it. the first 60 minutes, so this is considered as a check—in point. if you make it more than 60 minutes, you are considered a slow climber. we are sorry, we have to say you are not qualified. so if i don't make the first checkpoint in 60 minutes, you turn me around and say sorry, you are going back home? yeah, this is the rule here. ok, we are just about to head to bed for the big hike tomorrow, this is bed tonight actually, underneath this mosquito net, this is a bee, by the way, that just flew away. this is coming with me tomorrow... person: shh. there are some people sleeping, ijust got shushed. i am a little bit nervous for the hike tomorrow,

it is supposed to be quite hard, a lot of very, very steep inclines, so i am going to get a full eight hours tonight, i will see you in the morning and we will see if we can make it to the top. "caution, a high degree of physical fitness is required past this point." eight hours round—trip. lead the way. let's go. i havejust 60 minutes to make it to the mini pinnacles, the first checkpoint. you weren'tjoking. how is it? steep. the checkpoint is less than a kilometre up the slope but the humidity makes it feel a lot further.

we've only just started and i'm already exhausted. and we're here, the pinnacles! not quite, right? mini pinnacles. that is...not a joke. having reached the checkpoint within the time limit, it's another kilometre before i reach the most treacherous stage. this is the first ladder, mike. helmets on, right? who's first? after you. after me? ok, one down, 70 more to go.

beautiful limestone cliffs are sharp but at least lots of places to grab onto. it looks like it's rained down there. think it's going to rain? yeah, heavy rain. 500 metres to go, 100 metres to go. hope we get there before the rain. what ladder‘s this? last ladder. this looks like the summit. isn't it? the summit, yes. we are here, guys. wow, yeah.

and there are so many of them. this is beautiful. just daggersjutting out of the forest canopy. really is spectacular, right? the final stop in myjourney across sarawak is bario, in the kelapit highlands, home to one of the world's most remote food festivals. it is not exactly a smooth road, it's like being a greased up piece

of popcorn in the back seat, but it's a lot of fun. it is not exactly a smooth road, it's like being a greased up piece of popcorn in the back seat, but it's a lot of fun. i'm quite an adventurous eater, i will try everything. at least once, it is not good, only once. but often when you come to these places will find some pretty far out food and i'm hoping we'll find some very interesting stuff. bumped around and a little bruised from the journey, i get there to find the festival in full swing. we're catching the eye of a lot of locals, because there's not that many foreigners, surprise surprise, in this part of the world.

i don't know half of the foods here today and that's quite exciting for me. a local farmer called dayang offers to show me around. would you like to try our dure... i don't know what dure is... one of the local exotic vegetable found here in bario. it is a plant that lives in the jungle? yes. i can eat that all day. that is delicious. but it's got, like, i was thinking it would taste like spinach, but it doesn't taste like spinach at all. it has like a heartier than spinach would. would you like to try the akep? yeah, we can try akep. this looks to be boiled snails. yeah, found in the paddy field here. it smells like boiled snails too.

this is how we do it. this lives in the jungle, you suck it out? sucking. just like that. you bit it first? it's stuck on my teeth. and you suck it? sucking. there we go. how do you find... the taste must be fantastic? i wouldn't use that word, but it's not bad, it's very chewy. this is classic traditional kelabit food, sourced from the surrounding area. welcome to bario. dayang takes me to herfarm, where she grows one very important ingredient. it's cool, cause each plant has one pineapple? yes, but it will take about one year to ripen.

but this looks ripe. look at the colour, its golden yellow. how do we... how do we pick one? you can pluck it. i'm going to have puncture wounds after this but it's ok. that was easy. yes, because its golden ripe pineapple, is very sweet. look at this, my first pineapple. back at the festival, locally grown pineapples have been made into jams, juices and even pineapple cider. down the hatch. a little chunky, how many do you have to drink to have a really good day? i'm not sure. shall we find out? since it started in 2006

the festival has celebrated both the cuisine and the culture of the highlands. up top there are some bags with soda pop, cookies, the point is to climb up to the top, grab your prize and climb down. it's my turn. so... slowly from the bottom. freestyle ? as the games continue, my form doesn't really improve. it was by a feather that we lost.

applause. a game that i'm not bad at, i think it's my height advantage. let's watch. that's way farther than mine. i guess you might think that coming so far away you wouldn't be able to make friends, or that it might be a strange tourist experience. but i always find it's some of the best ones, when you come to these places, there's not many foreign tourists, so people are so accepting and grateful that you are here, and will share everything with you.

i still think that show needs a weatherman, i keep plugging but they never ask! good afternoon. weatherman, i keep plugging but they neverask! good afternoon. look weatherman, i keep plugging but they never ask! good afternoon. look what i have grown in this field, well, not me! it is very damp. further north, away from the rain, it was breezy in dumfries and galloway. we have rain at times, more than enough to come round at the moment! this is the chart. no great surprise, in southern scotland and northern ireland, rather stuck with the rain. iam ireland, rather stuck with the rain. i am hopeful that the southern counties of england and parts of wales and the midlands and eventually east anglia could see sunshine before the day is done. that will not be the prospect further north, sunshine and gusty

wind in the south, 16 or 17 or 18 underneath the rain, it will be closer to 12 or 11. through the evening and overnight, push that area of cloud and rain further off into the north sea, bits and pieces left in scotland for some time. then, this weather front has been left in scotland for some time. then, this weatherfront has been in the south for the last few days and it will come back at the same time, a new area of low pressure and associated rain. a bit of a player for the very far west of cornwall. perhaps pembrokeshire and through monday, do you need me to tell you? yes, it will be quite a wet day into northern ireland! between those two areas of cloud and rain, a bit of a neat core. they could be some brightness, quite a lot of proud, as you can imagine, in north—eastern wales and the midlands, northern england, northern and eastern parts of scotland, it could be a half decent day. i'm not sure how far the rain will go that i'm more sure that it could intensify through monday

night and into the first part of tuesday. that could be a0 or 50 millimetres of rain, we will see. time will tell. three tuesday, it only becomes a bother in north—eastern parts of scotland, but elsewhere, that is not a bad day until later on. we do bring the next weather front in from the atlantic, a fly weather front in from the atlantic, afly in weather front in from the atlantic, a fly in the ointment, late in the day for northern ireland. those same weather fronts will crack on, we think. quite went behind. pushing weather fronts towards the east. eventually, we turn out with wednesday being, for some, quite a decent day but in the latter part of the week, a mix of sunny spells and showers. a lot going on. do it at your pace rather than mine, use the bbc weather website. goodbye.

this is bbc news. i'm reeta chakrabarti. the headlines at two. the family of harry dunn, who died in a collision with an american woman who then fled to the us, are flying there now, hoping for a meeting. borisjohnson is briefing the cabinet about the brexit negotiations. talks have resumed in brussels between british and european union officials. the snp conference is getting under way in aberdeen. nicola sturgeon says she'll request government consent for another referendum on scottish independence before the end of the year. hundreds are reported to have escaped from a camp in northern syria holding family members of islamic state fighters, as an offensive by turkey continues. scotland have been knocked out of the rugby world cup.
