6:30 pm
50,000 residents forced to evacuate. two days now, two very long, sad, disappointing days. there's nothing to burn in my area. it all burned out. literally around 2am, 3am in the morning, it felt like it was a train ripping through my car. even pets had to seek sanctuary. there's been limited damage, no injuries reported and most fires are under control. but rising winds may stoke the flames. we're potentially going to see a historical wind event. and it has us highly concerned that the vulnerable areas of california could see some explosive fires. for now, then, firefighters must watch and wait. angus crawford, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos.
6:31 pm
hello, much of scotland and northern ireland have plenty of sunshine. a few showers around but for england and wales, thoroughly wet in places like this where the front solely pushing its way southwards and eastward this evening into the first part of the night, eventually clearing away into the near continent, taking the strong winds with it. then a dry and clearer, much colder night to come. so if you blustery showers across the northern half of scotland with some wintering over the hills of the chili into the night, temperatures out of town touching close to freezing. don't forget the clocks go back one hour tonight. that means you get an extra hour in bed on sunday morning and what a difference a day makes. a lovely, bright, cold, bright and sunny day. big difference here. pressure into the loo east. austria across scotland in the showers in the windy of the higher ground. across the board, 11—13dc. high pressure dominating, staying dry with sunshine and remaining on the cold side.

now on bbc news it's time for sportsday... hello and welcome to sportsday, with me lizzie greenwood—hughes and jane dougall. one of the most incredible matches of the rugby world cup so far — england knock out the defending champions new zealand to go through to the final. will that win inspire wales? their semi—final against south africa is tomorrow, warren gatland doesn't want it to be his last match in charge. and what's in a name? well, quite a lot — dispute over who scored manchester city's second goal against villa. also coming up in the programme...
6:34 pm
taking to the pitch for the first time in more than a decade, but it wasn't the fairytale return that great britain's rugby league lions were looking for. and london hosts a great boxing night with fighter josh taylor aiming to become the only british boxer with two world title belts. evening, lots coming up on sportsday this evening, a close look at all today's football in a moment, but before that — what a thrilling rugby match with england beating the all blacks to go through to the rugby world cup final. yes, throughout the match england were the better side — their 19 —7 victory
6:35 pm
was comprehensive and it could have been more with england having two tries disallowed. our sports editor dan roan was watching in yokohama. capturing the moment for the 12 yea rs capturing the moment for the 12 years they had to wait to say we we re years they had to wait to say we were there. more used to such occasions arriving quietly confident. taking on rugby dominant force is always special but with a place in the world cup final on the line, this is a match of truly epic proportions. vfor v for victory. if they were intimidated, they did not look at. the talent were —— it was the quickest i have considered. england
6:36 pm
in no mood to loosen their grip. george for the pot penalty giving them a precious ten point lead at half—time. this england team doesn't buckle like it has in the past. their dream of theirdream ofa their dream of a third successive world cup triumph over along with their rain. coach eddiejones masterminding one of the great performances in any sport. i'd like to pay the greatest supplement to new zealand. england's fans can
6:37 pm
their celebrations for another week. that i thought they would play, and they did. it was incredible. bryant was from start to finish. not since 2003 has english rugby enjoy the moment quite like this. for months on from the failure at the last tournament and pride has been restored and the superpower of the sport has been dethroned. tomorrow, england will discover if they will face wales in south africa in next weekend's final but whether it is, they will start as firm favourites after a wind they will never forget. the first time new zealand have what they came at the world cup for 12 yea rs. for the reigning champions —
6:38 pm
new zealand — it's the first time they've lost a game at the world cup for 12 years. the third place play off next friday will be head coach steve hansen's final game in charge of the all blacks. and in his press conference following the defeat he was upset with a question from one of the members of the media aimed at his captain kieran reid. it was a different retrospect or question. to say they were not hungry, that they were desperate to wind the game. i asked them at half—time to get hungrier and it does not mean to say they did not turn up hungry. there is a big difference. if you want to spend some time, i will give you an indication on that one. the semifinal of the rugby world cup with the amount of ability and history that it had behind it, that's not hunger, that's a pretty average question, i reckon. so who will england play next? it could be wales, they take on south africa in the second semi—final tomorrow and earlier they held their captain's run training session at their tokyo base, before heading to yokohama. this is wales's second semi—final appearance in three tournaments. wing george north is one of four players starting against south africa, who were in the team that narrowly lost to france the last time they reached the semis — eight years ago.
6:39 pm
and north admits that his form injapan has been "mixed" — but he believes wales are in a stronger position than ever to reach a first final. yellow might be fed very well this week. the france game is not ideal for us to bounce off of into a momentum point of view but i think from one to 31 or 32 as we are now, the preparation has been brilliant. i think the most annoying thing now is waiting for the game. i was chomping at the bit to get involved, get a new mixer and get playing. and that you up—to—date with the rugby world cup. not as many goals as there were at st mary's last night! but still a busy day in the premier league, with all the results, here's joe lynskey. yeah, leicester cith the latest surprise contenders to emerge in a title race after that result
6:40 pm
last night which we'll look back on shortly. but the side looking to close the gap on the league leaders today were the champions manchester city. they had to battle hard at home to aston villa, and it didn't all go their way, but this 3—0 win takes them to within three points of liverpool who play tomorrow. with the story at the etihad, patrick gearey reports. you forgive manchester city for being able to fidgety. they began saturday third, six points behind liverpool but then they weathered such storms before. they were gritting their teeth in the first half. aston villa asked some awkward questions of the goalkeeper than the referee and the video referees. no penalty here. at times, city had over elaborated so seconds after the break, they made the equation is simple for that one pass, one touch, one man in the form of his life, 1-0. one man in the form of his life, 1—0. raheem sterling. the second was more complicated, the goal was credited to kevin de bruyne but was another touch? was there an offside?
6:41 pm
technology does not bring certainty, they stuck with a goal. no grey areas regarding the result, swallowing blue shirt. this foul by fern and ennio are earning him a second yellow and a red, and a suspension. —— this foul by fernandinho. now they are back in second and the rain has passed. so city with a win but more personnel problems to deal with in the coming weeks with that fernandinho red card. for their manager it was their turnaround in performance at half tmie that made the difference. the second half is different. you want. special second half. we came
6:42 pm
here with a game plan. 0ur defensive discipline was really good. against a top team that caused problems against anyone and they had a couple of chances in the first half but i thought we showed some real enterprising and attacking transitions as well, and the goalkeeper has made a good save from john mcginn in the second half and just missed a rebound. it was not all one—way traffic but they are a top team who will put you under pressure. that means city go within one point a feeling livable in. you klopp's side play tomorrow against totte n ha m klopp's side play tomorrow against tottenham but you can see from the top of this week table that was the city are not 1 top of this week table that was the city are not1 million miles away either, that is after that sensational 9—0 wind over southampton. we can show you some of the author of this as well. a hat—trick from jamie vardy and leo isa hat—trick from jamie vardy and leo is a paris which equalled the 2a wind margin —— like the wreckerfor you in margin in the premier league.
6:43 pm
also the biggest away wind in the history of english football. 131 yea rs of history of english football. 131 years of the football league has never bought a 9—0 away wind before last night so leicester, as we saw their car last night so leicester, as we saw theircarup to third last night so leicester, as we saw their car up to third on 20 points. and chelsea could join them on that figure if they can beat burnley in the late game, as we can see at turf moor, they are in complete control with a hat—trick being credited to christian pulisic. the first league goal is of him on his first start and the american international, you can see those goals with us at 7:30pm. we are away from the top of the division. the game of the day at the division. the game of the day at the amex brighton came from behind at everton. everton were to — one in
6:44 pm
front of a video official is overruled a referee's on field decision to award brighton a penalty. everton were furious and we haven't seen that too often this is not the referee pot position is changed after a video cheque and a penalty is awarded. more pay got on with it to score and make it 2—2 and almost with the last kick of the game, an own goalfrom lucas tenia to give brighton a dramatic 3— to wind. ecstasy for the home wind. graham potter getting his third of the season and a penalty decision that we've such a bitter taste. var is to be the same for both sides. if they do always the same, we will see 20 penalties each weekend in the premier league. 20 penalties if they
6:45 pm
see it in the same way and it's easy to look for this match. they have to see this, clear penalty. the referee cannot see it, they make mistakes. the ar is there and if they saw that penalty, they have to see it 15 minutes before. you'll likely had a few that have not gone our way recently, if you had a bit of luck today, those watching us over the la st today, those watching us over the last ten games have surgery we maybe earned a bit of luck today but it's beena earned a bit of luck today but it's been a good game, hard—fought game, everton making been a good game, hard—fought game, eve rton making it been a good game, hard—fought game, everton making it difficult for us and it was a top premier league match so we are delighted with the three points. another point on the board for newly promoted sheffield united — a hard earned 1—1 draw with west ham takes them up to seventh.
6:46 pm
they were opened up in the first half when robert snodgrass put west ham in front at the london stadium with a well taken finish, but in the second half, the blades found a equaliser from lys mousset who's scuffed shot trickled in. so west ham are now without a win in four and have fallen back slightly, but great momentum for chris wilder's side at the moment. sheffield united beat arsenal on monday night — their last defeat was that narrow loss to liverpool four weeks ago. it was a big test for us because a lot of people would have thought after the arsenal game if they chucked everything into that, i should imagine that people would have thought it would have been a definite home wind today but he bucked that trend second half with that performance which delighted me. and a quick run through of all the weekend's results so far. watford drew 0—0 with bournemouth in today's other three o'clock kick off. watford still haven't won in their 10 league matches this season, it leaves them as you can see rooted to the bottom of the table on five points. norwich play manchester united
6:47 pm
at home tomorrow, while southampton have given their full backing to manager ralf hassenhutl, despite that 9—0 defeat last night. at the top, as we saw leicester city are into the top three, while sheffield united are now inside the top half, and just peering up at a title race that with liverpool in action against spurs tomorrow mightjust be getting a bit more congested. we board have backed them and that they will change the players rather than the manager of the next few weeks and months despite that 9—0 defeat. we talked about earlier. city into the top three while leicester into the top half as well. . livable in action tomorrow against totte n ha m . livable in action tomorrow against tottenham hotspur and that might just get it was bit more congested in the next few days and weeks. four goals at chelsea now. there's only 60 minutes on the court, could we have another 9—0? 60 minutes on the court, could we have another 9—0 ? we've 60 minutes on the court, could we have another 9—0? we've been mesmerised by all the goals. leeds have dropped down to third in the championship after playing out a goalless draw with sheffield wednesday — who are now fourth. striker steven fletcher almost broke the deadlock for wednesday in the second half at hillsborough when his first—time shot
6:48 pm
bounced off the bar. ezgjan alioski almost stole all three points for leeds but nodded against the post. let's take a look at the rest of the results. preston leapfog leeds into second place after a 3—2 win over local rivals blackburn rovers. west brom weren't able to stretch their two point lead at the top. they had a man sent off and could only draw 2—2 at home to charlton. elsewhere there were wins for birmingham, huddersfield, hull and millwall, while middlesbrough drew nil—nil with ten man fulham. in the scottish premiership, bottom side stjohnstone won their first game of the season. callum hendry scored the winner in a 3—2 victory over hamilton. elswehere kilmarnock beat st mirren, while the games between hibernian and ross county, and livingston and hearts ended in draws. leaders celtic are away at aberdeen tomorrow, while rangers — who're level on points at the top — host motherwell. after a twelve year absence, great britain's rugby league lions returned to play an international match in new zealand, but lost 111—6 to a tonga invitational fifteen.
6:49 pm
the match in hamilton was given official test status by the international rugby league, despite a dispute with tonga's governing body. 0ur rugby league correspondent dave woods was watching. the match was 12 years in the making, 2007 since great britain last played under that banner but it wasn't to be their night. terrific performance by tonga and a huge result for international rugby league. brian noble first of all, what do great britain learn from that defeat? why track you cannot give a team like tonga... that my space. they had a foothold, time to continue. claw that deficit back before the second half. that is the facet of international football. you'll have to recognise if you give a team at the start. you just have
6:50 pm
to make sure you are seeing ricocheted kicks to give the resulting scores. i think that will bea resulting scores. i think that will be a whole lot more next week. not from rugby league but from tonga, you cannot believe how much their site has come on. they are very passionate and the sea of red is a ptly passionate and the sea of red is aptly named. not a disasterfor the lions because they've got three more games on their trip to prove their worth. tonga are playing the scalp of new zealand. they were up against the best of the best next week against australia. can they do it ain? against australia. can they do it again? great britain, three more matches to come but they will tough challenge next week against new zealand at eden park. they will have to bea zealand at eden park. they will have to be a bit better than they were tonight. rugby union's domestic season battles on despite several
6:51 pm
players at the world cup. gloucester have made it two wins from two in the premiership so far. they beat wasps 25—9 to move up to second, withjoe simpson scoring two of their four tries against his former club. northampton are top after beating worcester, while there were also wins for harlequins and sale. in the pro 1a, the dragons have eased to their second win of the new season. they beat glasgow 18—5, taine basham with the first of their two tries. elsewhere, benetton beat the southern kings 36—30. lewis hamilton has some work to do if he wants to win his sixth title this weekend. he could only manage fourth fastest in practice ahead of tomorrow's mixing grand prix. qualifying gets under way pretty soon. lewis hamilton can win a sixth title this weekend if he finishes 1a points ahead of mercedes team mate valteri bottas. jennie gow is there for us. the fans are pouring in for the
6:52 pm
mexican grand prix. not too far away from the session starting and already practice has been quite exciting because we had really heavy rain overnight meaning newcastle limiting what they could do out on track. the fastest man, the ferrari controlling the rate of exactly what they want to. that is what they will be looking for. they have a few competitors around to try and stop them from happening. the red bulls. both mercedes riders as well, you cannot count them out. even though they think the advantage at the moment is with ferrari in these qualifying sessions. all eyes will be on what is going to happen. 0pen pole position you are so crucial. 0ut pole position you are so crucial. out of all the races of the year, this could be really key to a successful race. fingers crossed for
6:53 pm
all the drivers out there. we will let you know what happens ahead of the race. the two best super—lightweights in the world will meet in london tonight as scotjosh taylor takes on the undefeated american regis prograis. both boxers are putting their world super—lightweight belts on the line, as well as their unbeaten records. prograis is the bookmakers' favourite to win — but has never fought outside of the united states. they say there is nothing between them but there's everything to lose. two world champions, winner takes all. it's what i've been doing to do asa all. it's what i've been doing to do as a kid growing up, dreaming of becoming a professional fighter, being involved in these massive fights. it's what happens and i'm really relaxed and enjoying it. the world boxing super series is designed to complicate what has become a pretty complicated sport. it's the best versus the best for
6:54 pm
the mallard alley trophy. the man from new orleans is the favourite, the wba champion is 30 years old and had a total of 3a fights, one them all and not out 20 of his opponents. facing him, edinburgh'sjosh taylor. the champion is younger but has had less fights, one them all, knocking out 12 along the way. it is a mouthwatering matchup. the first time to champions, one of them british, fought on british soil, this does not happen. they are considered to be one of the very best pound for pound boxers in the world. none of his fight matter. the only one as far as legacy is right
6:55 pm
here. you're not having your sunglasses off, are you? now, who has their sunglasses on? only idiots. this is where the trash talking stops. the 02 idiots. this is where the trash talking stops. the o2 arena. pipe and boxing go hand in hand but this does feel different. different from the sport, different for taylor himself because it's a chance for himself because it's a chance for him to go from here to here and become a true great of boxing. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, london. also tonight, dereck chisora fights david price in an all british heavyweight bout. not much could seperate the two fighters in the weigh in — chisora coming in at 18 stone and 8 pounds. price weighed in four pounds heavier at 18 stone, 12 pounds. a win for price would be a fourth successive victory, while a win for chisora would put him on the verge of another world title fight. all of the fights will be broadcast on bbc radio 5 live. before we go let's return to our top stroy — england's memorable 19—7 over new zealand in the world cup semi final this morning.

6:57 pm
can england's rugby players follow their lead? that's all from sportsday. we'll have more at half past seven. thank you forjoining us at goodbye. a mishmash of weather is one way of putting it, thoroughly miserable for the greater part of the day across parts of east anglia, the midlands, south east england, too. yes, i did look that bad for artistically there, at least these guys cleared, albeit late in the day for some. a bit further north, a real rattle of showers across the northern, western isles, part of the mainland because you are that bit closer to a big area of low pressure. lots of isobars there. the event has been a factor and you're not done with that just yet either. what you're doing at the moment is dragging the rain
6:58 pm
associated with that riverfront ever further towards south and east. 0ne that quits the scene, with the low pressure in charge, we will still be given at pretty blustery during the course of the night. we'll keep the shower is going on this gusty wind across northern and western parts of scotla nd across northern and western parts of scotland fourth stop showers running through northern ireland, median to the pennines. northern shores of wales as well. that front is going to ta ke wales as well. that front is going to take the crowd and rain, hurrah horror, away. a sunday. what it will also do is drag any prospect of matching the 18 celsius in kent today, yes, as high as that. we start from a pretty chilly base. brown spots. grey skies for that with you longer tonight because the court, you will remember, going to go back by one hour. clear skies mean we will have frost in the proceedings for monday morning but
6:59 pm
look at that, at last, england, wales, much of northern ireland, southern scotland, dry, fine, sunny and chilly. northern parts of scotland, you've still got the event, still the odd cost around 50 mph. plenty showers there, one or two for the north of northern ireland, one or two for the north west of england. forget all about the 18, high in the south, no more than 12 or 13 degrees. having had so much rain, it was the face of autumn. start of next week it will be drier, there will be a greater chance of sunshine but it will be noticeably colder, both by day and by night, so if you haven't got a bit of de—icer out or a scraper, you will need it for the next two or three nights, certainly, the second half of the week a little bit of uncertainty but i think you will get back to that other face of autumn, yes, the mile and wet. andy windy. making most of the sunshine while it lasts.
7:00 pm
this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 7pm: police charge lorry driver maurice robinson with the manslaughter of 39 people found dead inside a trailer in essex. he's also been charged with conspiracy to traffic people. the arrest comes as police appeal for anyone concerned about family members to get in touch. if you come into us, we will do everything we can to put our arm around you and take you through this process, identify as quickly as possible to see whether or not we do indeed have one of your loved ones involved in this tragic incident. one of the most authoritative and famous victories in english rugby history! england reach the finald of the rugby world cup with a stunning win against defending champions new zealand in yokohama. that's how we thought they were going to play
