objectively. don't think it has anything necessarily to do with gender. we are just in necessarily to do with gender. we arejust in a necessarily to do with gender. we are just in a position of where the women's game is. i don't think it can compare like for like. unfortunately not every country is ultimately professional like we are. and therefore there are still some teams that have not qualified. there are teams that have not been playing rugby throughout the new year. the time they would have had to take away from what they do, it would have been made on actual good foundations of the get the best outcome but whether or not a women's tournament and that is ok to postpone it. i think the organisers have made a sensible decision early on, but the tournament and the product and we want to create from you as well, and we don't want

thank you for gabbing for all the latest sports news. good evening. i am jane latest sports news. good evening. i amjane hill to latest sports news. good evening. i am jane hill to take you through the next bit of our coronavirus coverage tonight. let's look at germany because the lock down there looked as if it was working with case numbers down in the government considering how to reopen society. but new variants are spreading and many experts are warning that a third wave of infection has already begun. the vaccination programme is slow, with only 5% of the population having had their first slow, with only 5% of the population having had theirfirstjab. our german correspondentjenny hale sent this report from dortmund. after a winter in lockdown, this country has had enough. the dortmund philharmonic�*s thrown itself into rehearsals for opening night, but it's germany's politicians who'll set the date.

if you ask me what would i open first, i would take the theatres, opera houses, places where you really control the compliance and the adherence to the working infection control measures. like distance, like wearing a mask, like hand disinfection. for some, there's a fragile optimism in the air. lockdown reduced infections, schools, hairdressers have reopened. angela merkel�*s under pressure to let the rest of society get going. like so many other countries, germany is trying to balance the health of its citizens with other concerns — the economy, society, children's education. but this country, most agree, went into lockdown too late, in the autumn, and its vaccination programme has got off to a slow start. so the pressure is on. the authorities don't want to get it wrong again. and many warn that germany's already

at the beginning of a third wave. case numbers are now rising again. in this lab, which processes tests, they can see that new variants are having an effect. the problem that comes with all the opening is really that there are more opportunities for contact again. and we know now it is very hard to control, even if people stick to generally wearing masks and trying to keep distance. once, you know, more and more contact opportunities are there, the virus doesn't care, it looks for opportunities. and just 5% of the population have had their first vaccines. germans may be rushing back to the salon, but they've rather less enthusiasm for the astrazeneca jab. the government's only giving it to the under—65s and ta ke—up�*s slow. germany, once admired for its calm handling of the pandemic, is hesitant now, its response characterised by indecision, its politicians at odds over how to protect the lives,

the well—being of its citizens. jenny hill, bbc news, dortmund. here is a staggering statistic. every year people throw away enough litter on english roads to fill at 2 million rubbish bags and it cost a fortune to clear up. local councils are now arming themselves with technology to take on litter box. cameras use ai technology to take on litter box. cameras use al to spot litter box throwing garbage from cars and if you find. our correspondent has found out how it all works. litter isn'tjust ugly, it's also expensive. it costs around £1 billion to clean up the 30 million tonnes of rubbish that befouls our streets in an average year. we all feel the same way about litter louts. people are stupid. i don't understand why they're so stupid. so, now, localauthorities are recruiting cctv cameras in the battle against litterers.

so, this is how it works. you've had your takeaway, but you don't want the rubbish in your car. so, you... ..well, some of you anyway, just, erm, thrown it out the window. i'll tell you what, this feels absolutely awful. the new littercam technology uses artificial intelligence to spot the telltale evidence of littering. it can even spot a cigarette butt being thrown from a car window. it then captures your number plate and issues you with an automatic fine of up to £120. maidstone in kent is the first town to introduce it. i mean, if we can land a rover on mars now, we can actually pick up a cigarette butt being thrown out of a car. and that's what it's all about. we're trying to protect the planet we live in and the town we live in. maidstone's teams of volunteer litter pickers say the amount of rubbish has increased by as much as 250% since the pandemic began.

according to keep britain tidy, 42% of main roads in the country now have fast food litter on them. we drive around and we walk around and we see all this rubbish on the streets, and we don't know who's put it there. but littercam should make a connection between the rubbish on the street and the person who put it there. do you think it'll change the psychology of people who litter? well, since they seem to be the sort of precious, self—regarding oafs who take the cleanliness of their car seriously, i imagine they might have some sort of feeling about being fined a massive fine. maidstone is just the start. other local authorities are already considering using the system, says the company boss. littercam, i think, is a tool that can change people's behaviour, j in the same way that speed cameras i have or traffic monitoring systemsl that prevent or deter people i from going up a one way street or driving in a bus lane.

it's similar to that, - and we very much hope that littercam will stop people littering from vehicles. i so, beware — if you're thinking of littering, think again. you may be being watched. justin rowlatt, bbc news, maidstone. makes me feel quite unwell all of the apples of that has provoked some interesting debate amongst all of us about littering. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. good evening. wednesday brought a largely dried, settled spell for many areas. we had a lot of low cloud, mist and fog around and some sharp showers, too, across parts of southern england and wales. this was the picture in llandudno earlier on on wednesday. quite a lot of low cloud around there. and as we head through the course of the rest of this evening and overnight, too, we'll keep quite a bit of cloud. in fact, over the next few days, a cloudy outlook. isolated showers here and there, but many of us staying predominantly dry and things turning a little bit

colder as well. where you've still get this little frontal system across parts of eastern england, it will tend to clear away as we head through into thursday. and then a weak cold front starts to push in from the north. so, what that means is we head through this evening and overnight, still some sharp showers across east anglia, parts of south east england, could be the odd rumble of thunder. they slowly ease through thursday morning. we've also got a few showers working in across the northern half of scotland on that weak cold front there. the odd flurry of snow over the very highest mountains there. but temperatures for most of us between about 2—6 degrees overnight, so it certainly won't be a widespread frost first thing thursday. that's because we've got quite a lot of cloud and some mist and some fog patches to stop those temperatures dropping too low. first thing in the morning, then, we are likely to see this cold front that's going to moving its way south, bringing some light showery rain or even the odd flurry of snow over the high ground of scotland. those showers initially across eastern england should start to clear away. some mist and some fog elsewhere, some low cloud, it's quite murky first thing. but the fog not quite as extensive as it has been over the past couple of days. so, that rain moving into parts of northern england

during the afternoon, it will be quite light and patchy. not a bad day for parts of the north east of england, for instance. a little bit more brightness than recent days, but towards the south, it'll be colder than it has been recently. temperatures 6—7 degrees away from the far south west, which stays a little bit milder. now, moving through into friday, and high pressure very much still in charge of our weather, so another dry day. light winds for most of us, too. a little bit breezier perhaps down around the east coast and through the english channel as well. but cloud will tend to bubble up and build through the day and then spread out, so things will become a little bit cloudier, i think, during the course of the afternoon. but still a few bright spells out there. temperatures not great for this stage in march, about 5—8 degrees, but there will be a little bit of sunshine around here and there. into the weekend, high pressure holds on, bringing a largely dry spell of weather through the weekend, but things will turn increasingly unsettled for the north west into next week. bye for now.

hello, i'm ros atkins, welcome to outside source. the un says 38 people have been killed in anti—coup protests in myanmar. today was the bloodiest day since the coup happened on the 1st of february. they started using, i believe, a sound bomb before they fired a shot, so we just ran away. deaths have been reported in at least three cities, and videos showed soldiers allegedly beating medics who were trying to treat injured protesters. german media are reporting the country's main opposition, buckingham palance says it's concerned by allegations meghan bullied staff reported in the times, and will look into the circumstances around the article.
