but the key question is, will the welsh critters be as horrifying as their australian counterparts? they are bringing in so many critters and all sorts and i don't know if i'm allowed to say, i'm going to say it anyway, so one of the new creatures is the bald rat. now, i've never heard of a bald rat before rehearsals yesterday and i would be petrified. there are ten contestants going into the castle and one of them should have an advantage. he's already a knight. bbc presenter victoria derbyshire is another bracing herself for a less than luxury experience, this is the camp shower and toilet. i'm not risk averse and i want to immerse myself in adventures like this. other contestants include shane ritchie who says he's taking part because he needs the cash. former strictly professional dancer aj prichard, pa ralympian hollie arnold

conservative mps urge the prime minister to reset his government after the departure of his top adviser, dominic cummings. a thumbs—up from president trump as thousands of his supporters line the streets of the us capital in support of his unsubstantiated claims of voterfraud. financial pressure builds for the 2.9 million people in the uk who are still excluded from the chancellor's coronavirus income support schemes. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. lots to look forward to on today's show. it's moving day at the masters with the delayed third round under way at augusta. we'll have the latest. a dominant england performance at twickenham — jamie george making history for them
6:34 pm
in their win over georgia. and for the first time in formula one, it's stroll on pole! lance leaps above all in chaotic conditions in istanbul. hello and welcome to sportsday. let's start the programme with the latest from the us masters. golf's final major of the year is into round three — after a delay at augusta, while several finished their rounds to mark the midway point. it really was tight at the top — but the world number one dustinjohnson leads the way. we can get more now — with austin halewood, who's in the studio with our golf correspondent iain carter. thank you very much. as iain would say, the weekend at augusta is set
6:35 pm
up say, the weekend at augusta is set up perfectly, and most of that is because the world's top three players were all tied at the top of the leaderboard going into this third round, that has never happened ina third round, that has never happened in a major before. we are going to start right at the top with world number one dustin johnson. he start right at the top with world number one dustinjohnson. he has never won the masters before, but he is on never won the masters before, but he isona never won the masters before, but he is on a tear so far in this third round. he is, and on the pga tour as well. you look at his last six tournaments, five of them he has finished in the top three, because of form like this. this is the second hole of his third round, and just look at this approach into the par five. it is just ridiculously easy, or at least he makes it look ridiculously easy. that was an eagle, and two holes later, par three, he holds that from a monster distance, so that was a brilliant start. eagle on the second, birdie on the third and fourth. so he is taking a big grip on the masters right now. are very much the man to
6:36 pm
ca ptu re right now. are very much the man to capture the moment. but could john ram, the world number two, be the man to take over him and go on to win what would be his first major? we can see his best results here in all of the majors, tied fourth at the pga, third at the us open, could this finally be his one? he again is in very good form, he has been world number one is currently world number two. he hadn't really contended going down the stretch of those majors, so this could be a different kind of challenge for him. i think it's a challenge he is ready for, spain hasa it's a challenge he is ready for, spain has a wonderful record going back a0 years when seve ballesteros won it in 1980. you have had the two wins forjose—maria and maybe it is in the cards for him. and on thursday afternoon, it looks like rory mcilroy was dead and buried for this year, it was his worst opening round at augusta. however a really
6:37 pm
good second round, and this third round has started brilliantly. absolutely, 66 in the second round and he comes out and has been firing in the third round as well. we can see here one of his birdies, he is 110w see here one of his birdies, he is now five under par for his round, eight under par overall. and that's thanks after this one at the 12th. this is the 11th that he is playing into here, just have a look at this one. that sets up an opportunity for mcilroy. then we get on the 12th, he found the bunker with his tee shot in the front of the green, so things are happening for him, but has he given himself too much to catch up? that is the question. we can see the leaderboard very briefly here, dustinjohnson at leaderboard very briefly here, dustin johnson at the leaderboard very briefly here, dustinjohnson at the top with 13 under, then a few more players who we can see who are also up there as well. it is a high quality chasing back, a lot of people saying the
6:38 pm
korean is a major champion in the waiting, justin thomas the world number three, john rahman up there as well, mcilroy and a charge. i think we are in for one heck of a final, two rounds of this masters and really looking forward to see how it all pans out, but at the moment, johnson is in a commanding position. he is the one to catch. looking like a brit weekend. iain will be on sports extra in just a few minutes at seven o'clock, and there is commentary on there and highlights on bbc tonight as well at 10:a0pm. you like looking forward to it. thank you, gents. onto the rugby 110w. england are top of their autumn nations cup pool with a comfortable a0—0 win over georgia. they were the heavy favourites at twickenham — and had their hooker to thank, who made history with his try scoring exploits this afternoon. scotland continued their fine form too, coming from behind to beat italy 28—17. ben croucher reports. rugby at twickenham in 2020 looks a bit different. england are playing
6:39 pm
in blue for starters. the kits and players may change, the form has stayed constant, with jack willis on debut opening his international account for the six nations champions. it is a competition georgia harbour hopes ofjoining, but three more first—half tries demonstrated the gulf between them. they knew what was coming. it did not mean they could do anything about it. jamie george had already scored two tries like this when he became the first english hooker to score a hat—trick. the close range tactic worked for dan robson as well. georgia's first visit to twickenham was a pointless one. there has been a change in the air in scottish sport of late. their male footballers are on a roll. their rugby counterparts are on the best run this century. it was a tepid start in tuscany as italy found some florence flair to lead at half—time. scotland needed something a bit different to turn in their favour. zander fagerson, a former chorister and mountain biker turned prop forward found his path through the italian try line similarly unique. scotland ecstatic,
6:40 pm
italy just static. and even when they weren't, there was no stopping scott cummings the try line, a tried and trusted method when george turner bundled over to repeat a record equalling fifth straight win. well, it was good day for england women's side, too — they got the better france, in the first of two matches. winning 33—10 in grenoble. it was another convincing display from the six nations grand slam champions. their injured captain sarah hunter joined me in the studio — and told me they're in great shape, building towards a big year in 2021. we know going to france whether there are crowds or not it will a lwa ys there are crowds or not it will always be a difficult prospect, but again, i'm pleased to say that we managed to come away with another victory. the first half was a real battle for france, for us, 10—10 at half—time, really proud of the way the girls came out and exerted themselves onto the french had got
6:41 pm
two early tries, and i think from then on it was probably really difficult for france to get back into the game, and wejust difficult for france to get back into the game, and we just kept building a building, and that is what you need when you go away to france. absolutely, and after a stunning six nations campaign, where does this leave england now looking ahead to the next test and also the world cup next year? we have got france at home next week, so i've got no doubt they will be wanting to look at themselves and they will probably come out in a very different way and they will probably give us another test back home, they won't want to lose two on the bounce, and that will take us into oui’ bounce, and that will take us into our six nations next year, which is a real key tournament building towards the world cup. so probably ina good towards the world cup. so probably in a good place, obviously like a lwa ys in a good place, obviously like always there are things for us to work on within our game, but i think the most important thing is that winning mentality, and over the last year, we've continued to do that, so we just need to build year, we've continued to do that, so wejust need to build on year, we've continued to do that, so we just need to build on that at the
6:42 pm
same time as building on our performance. sarah hunter talking to me there. formula one now. lance stroll took advantage of the wet and wild conditions on the track in turkey — to become the first canadian in 23 years to make pole today. he pipped red bull's max verstappen — but championship leader lewis hamilton is still in prime position to claim a record—equalling seventh world title this weekend. nick parrott has more. it was an early indicator of the chaos to come. while the authorities at istanbul park were able to deal with the dog, there was nothing they could do about the weather. the turkish grand prix has never been held later than august. by november, it's an altogether different challenge. conditions were so tricky, the open session of qualifying was suspended for three quarters of an hour. and almost as $0011 quarters of an hour. and almost as 50011 as quarters of an hour. and almost as soon as it got going again, it was held up for another five soon as it got going again, it was held up for anotherfive minutes. everyone appeared to be riding their luck at times, and it was lance stroll‘s numbers that came up. the 22—year—old racing point driver claiming the first poll of his career, just ahead of red bull's max
6:43 pm
verstappen. ijust nailed pretty much every corner, and pieced it together very nicely, and it is a great way to bounce back after a few rough weeks. it has been a rough ride for me, so it feels good. it's the first time this year a mercedes hasn't taken the top spot. lewis hamilton usually excels in the wet, but could only manage sixth, and is concerned for the race. but could only manage sixth, and is concerned for the racelj but could only manage sixth, and is concerned for the race. i have no idea what car i've got underneath me tomorrow. we made some setups going into today and it has been wet, sol have no idea, if it's dry i have no idea if it will feel, if it is wet thanl idea if it will feel, if it is wet than i know it it couldn't feel as bad as it is today. but with team—mate and rival valtteri bottas ninth, hamilton is likely to win a record equalling seventh world title evenif record equalling seventh world title even if he doesn't win the race. nick parrot, bbc news. let's quickly round up some of the day's other stories — and the motogp rider's title could be decided this weekend, withjoan mir only needing a podium finish to be crowned champion. but that will be difficult with the spaniard only able

to manage twelfth on the grid in qualifying for the valencia grand prix. title rival fabio quartararo is right in front of him. franco morbidelli will start from pole. argentina beat new zealand for the first time in their history this morning. nikola sanchez became a national hero, scoring the only try and kicking all his side's points in a 25—15 victory — prompting tears ofjoy at the end. a late surge from adam peaty saw him win the men's 50m breaststroke and break his own british record for london roar on day one of the semi—finals of the international swimming league in budapest. london roar are in a good position to make the final ahead of day two. women's super league leaders manchester united came from 2—0 down to draw with rivals manchester city — and maintain their unbeaten record. city took the lead early on and then doubled it thanks to this rocket from laura coombs. and there's another cracker of a goal coming here — tobin heath getting one back for united. before substitute kirsty hanson prodded home the easiest finish of the day to complete their comeback.
