risks can be managed, zeke a virus. risks can be managed, plans can be made. but ultimately for organisers in tokyo and beyond, this may be about waiting and hoping. patrick gouiri, bbc news. scotland's women will take on england and glasgow. the hosts lost to ireland in their opening fixture, while england secured their first win of the campaign against france. i'm delighted to say we're joined by the scotland women's captain, rachel malcolm. how where the squad's preparations heading into the six nations match against england? we've been kinda preparing pretty hard today, initially we came into last night. it's obviously a pretty big game going into play one of the best teams in the world, so we're really trying to open it up, we can't wait to get on. this is the second time you've

captained scotland against england in a six nations campaign, having done so in 2018, describe what that feeling is like leading your team out for a match of this scale? it's a pretty cool feeling. we've got a pretty incredible place to call home is our home stadium, and a match against one of the best teams in the world is not something many athletes get to say they've done. so to get there for a second time is a massive honour, in terms of how much it means to me. so it's really exciting. now this isn't the only sport where you've represented scotland, as you played for internatinal hockey for five years. why did you decide to switch to rugby? soi so i played for scottish hockey for a number of years, and probably took this board as far as i could in my potential was going to let me. i had a good run at rugby, but ijust fell

in love with the sport. i particularly love that there is very much a place in the team, and the sport for everyone. we've had some good opportunities along the way, which i've held onto. what's really impressive is that you only started playing rugby five years ago. but having played with you at loughborough hockey for a few years, you were always going to be good at whatever sport you played. but what's that transition been like, from playing hockey to now ca ptaining scotland's women's rugby team? it's actually been a really pleasant transition, because the nature of rugby is a very family oriented sport for some the club i initially went into were very welcoming and didn't really declare that i couldn't catch a basketball, and did everything they could to bring me on. every step of the way, i've had people taking steps on me —— sanches on me, trying to make me a better player. it's made the whole process

a lot better. what i love is having a lot better. what i love is having a new challenge and having the opportunity to improve day in, day out in training, because i started from scratch from five years ago. so it's been a whirlwind journey, but an enjoyable one. rachel, thank you for your time, an enjoyable one. rachel, thank you foryourtime, and an enjoyable one. rachel, thank you for your time, and thank you so much. still to come on sportsday... we look ahead to a re—run of last year's challenge cup final as warrington wolves take on st helen's in super league. and can football help with the issue of knife crime? we follow watford's andre grey as he meets teenagers trying to change their path in life. now, england's cricketers will have to manage withoutjofra archer until the summer. a scan has reveled the fast bowler has a stress fracture in his elbow. he was only fit for the first of the four recent tests in south africa. archer will miss the tour of sri lanka and also the whole of the indian premier league.

he's hoping to return forjune's three—test series against the west indies. here's test match special commentator simon mann. joffra archer would have been here today, but he was injured during the first test match and hasn't played since. and he's likely to be out for three months. england are hopeful of him being fit for the west indies test series, which takes place in june. he did have a scan here, but it was inconclusive and didn't show anything. when he went back to the uk, he had a more in—depth scan which showed a stretched dashed a stress factor. tom curran is here with the england white ball party, saying he has sympathy forjoffra archer's situation. it's a matter of sport nowadays. and obviously disappointing forjoffra archer, but hopefully he comes back stronger and better. what's it like being a baseball or? what are the strains on your body? it's tough work, but i

think it's a part of it now. you get a lot of satisfaction out of it, as well, but i think it's a bit harder than just twisting the arm over your body. tom curry and is expected to be part of england's team for the second match of their one day international series against south africa in durban tomorrow. forecast is not great, rain is expected. england i—o is not great, rain is expected. england 1—0 down in the series, looking for a much better performance than the one they produced in cape town on tuesday when they were thrashed by seven wickets. it's been a controversial week for the super league, as australia's, israel folau prepares to make his debut for catalan dragaons this weekend. as for tonight though, the action continues and a good one too as it's a re—run of the challange cup final between warrington wolves and st helens. let's cross live to the halliwell jones stadium, where we can join our correspondent dave woods. st. helens got off to a flying start last week with the demolition of sa lfo rd , last week with the demolition of salford, so the champions are looking good. torrington are down to

12 men, but they will tell you they thought they should have one. when these two sides meant super league last year, three times on all separate occasions, st. helens were the winners. kevin is alongside us, former england world cup finalist and a former warrington player, as well. have warranted got something to prove tonight? i think so. i think they will be excited to play for third dashed with 13 men. i think they did fantastic last week, but they'll be licking their lips tonight, having an awful good crack at saracens who... they look fantastic last week. they did, and they were fantastic. i got to see they were fantastic. i got to see the clubs, which was a tough night. but for me, they look like they got all the stuff thatjustin put into them. but christian put it all in them. but christian put it all in them. they were playing harder than i've ever seen them. so it was ominous for the rest of the super league. and we are looking forward to this night, lots of local rivalry involved. it should be an intense

night in front of a big crowd. in other news, knife crime in london hit a ten year high at the start of the year, and several other regions in the country have seen similar spikes in offences. watford striker, andre grey, credits football for steering him away from a life of crime. natalie pirks joined him at a youth club in the capital. life and death. so i started walking with a shank, even though lizzie warned me i get nick to. this might bea warned me i get nick to. this might be a play, acted out for the benefit of london's mayor. but youths in west london, knife crime is all too real. some are in gangs, some have been robbed at knife point. the others know that without the safety net of harrow, life could be very different. harrow club help me get my currentjob. they help me get my cv and things like that. so a lot of the staff members here, because i've been here for so long, have seen me grow up. they're like my family, so

they've motivated me to stop doing silly things. watford striker andre grey understands lola's story more than most. the four inch scar across his left cheek from a night out in wolverhampton nine years ago is a permanent reminder of how his life could have turned out. obviously the night it happened, i was in the wrong place at the wrong time. again, getting into fights, and this is the mark of it. obviously all my friends got to jail, i've been in and out injail. i had a decision to make whether to concentrate on foot ball make whether to concentrate on football and pursue something, that i could possibly make a living out of. that's what i did. with help from the mayor's young londoners club, from the mayor's young londoners clu b, clu bs from the mayor's young londoners club, clubs like this are able to give teams the chance to learn practical skills to help equip them for her life away from violence or crime. but the money isn't always there. it's clear clubs like this play a huge role in helping to keep youngsters on track. within the last

decade, we've lost 600 youth clubs. councils now spend 69% less on youth in the community across the country. knife crime has reached record levels in the capital. last year, 95 people were stabbed to death. but it is farfrom just a people were stabbed to death. but it is far from just a london problem. crime involving knives in the west midlands, for example, has tripled since five years ago. the fastest rise of anywhere in the country. these figures followed a government announcement to increase police funding by more than £1 billion. with premier league football awash with cash... grey! what impact. grey believes clubs should devote more of it to their communities to help all kids focus on their dreams instead of carrying a knife as he did. did football save your life? whether or not i would've gotten killed, i don't know. but i'm sure i would've ended up injailat don't know. but i'm sure i would've ended up injail at some point, the way i was going. it definitely saved my life. it gave me a career, gave

me everything i ever dreamed of. natalie perks reporting there. and afc wimbledon's hopes of moving into their new stadium this summer are still in the balance, due to a funding shortfall on the building costs. so, their dreams of returning to their spiritual home on plough lane are now dependent on fans lending the club the money to complete the construction. chris slegg has the story. afc wimbledon's new stadium is currently a building site. but there might not be much more building going on there soon. they need the fa ns to going on there soon. they need the fans to help them raise £5 million by the end of next week if they are to move in before the start of next season. to move in before the start of next season. in order for the construction to continue on time and for the trust, therefore the club to say to the contractors that everything is in place, the closer we get to that £5 million by the end of 1a february, the better. we get to that £5 million by the end of 14 february, the better. over 70 miles away... when the original wimbledon relocated to milton keynes, originalfans wimbledon relocated to milton keynes, original fans refuse wimbledon relocated to milton keynes, originalfans refuse to wimbledon relocated to milton keynes, original fans refuse to let it die. they set up afc wimbledon.

in 2017 they got permission to build a new ground next to their old ground. the club still owned by the fa ns ground. the club still owned by the fans there a supportive cosmic trust, which says the bond is the only way to avoid a takeover and com plete only way to avoid a takeover and complete the stadium. some say there should have been proper financing in the first place. are you not all concerned about asking fans to risk their own money? no, not really. i think it is part and parcel of every stadium building. few clubs can afford to build a stadium in cash. you always need some form of debt finance, and we are no different. fans are being asked to loan the clu b fans are being asked to loan the club £1000 and can choose to receive either 4% interest or way that all. people who are happy to to lend money to the club that's fantastic. but anyone who wants to get 4%, that still better than anything they can from the bank. wimbledon have destroyed london's dreams... the original wimbledon because one of sport's greatest shocks when they

beat liverpool in 1988's fa club final. terry gibson played that day. it will be exactly the same replica, except people can enjoy going there and being a bit more comfortable with their surroundings. it's something they're going to achieve, i'io something they're going to achieve, no doubt they will. afc wimbledon - so no doubt they will. afc wimbledon - so close to their new home, and yet so so close to their new home, and yet so far away. chris leg, bbc news. and a reminder of our top story before we go: ben youngs is dropped to the bench as one of five changes to eddiejones‘ squad ahead of their six nations clash with scotland. and tomorrow on sportsday, we'll be live from edinburgh and dublin looking ahead of the weekend's six nation's action. that's all from sportsday. have a lovely evening, bye for now.

hello there. a murky start to the day for some with mist and fog patches which are quite stubborn to clear. but many saw some good smells of sunshine, this photo sent in by a weather watcher —— good spells. the dry weather looks to continue through friday. that should clear quite quickly, a bit more in the way of breeds. some good smells of sunshine all the clatter in the west, thick enough with outbreaks of patchy rain and drizzle. good smells of sunshine for many away from the south and east, which will start off cloudier. at the winds will increase, gales in the north and west with some more persistent rain. and that is a sign of things to come to the second half of the weekend. that initial band of rain bushes east, and we will see the storm keira filling in from the east. we're looking at gusts of 60—70 mph
