welcome along, thank you forjoining us on the final weekend of the six nations championship. we'll have more on that incredible italy win in a moment but as i speak, ireland are set to move ahead of france at the top of the table, they're taking on scotland in dublin ireland have to win to stand any chance of winning the tournament, they went ahead thanks to tries from forwards dan sheehan and cian healy. scotland finally replied with their own close—range try, scored by pierre schoeman. even so, ireland led 14—5 at the break and they extended that lead just short of the hour mark whenjosh van der flier dashed over. it's currently 21—5 with less than ten minutes left.

after 36 defeats in a row, italy have finally won a six nations match today, for the first time since 2015. wales looked liked they'd fought back to avoid a shock in cardiff only for italy to win what was an extraordinary match in the final seconds. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. the joe wilson reports. hundredth welsh game for him that the hundredth welsh game for him, thatis the hundredth welsh game for him, that is dan biggar, this is even better. no man has played more international matches than alun wyn jones, 150 games for wales, two daughters, one more anthem. in the midst of all these anniversaries, up stepped italy. it took wales almost half an hour to get on the scoreboard, owen watkin crossing. but witness this penalty by padovani. italy had 12 points by

half—time, wales, seven. seven years of six nations defeat, their worth in this competition openly questioned, italy got so close to the welsh line there. dewi lake did score for wales, short—range, power base penalties kept italy in front. josh adams seemed to rescue wales from embarrassment. but hold on, hold everything, a scintillating break from the full—back. if you could find a pass, if there was a team—mate there. padovani, italy! two—point it came down to the two—point conversion. it would be the last kick of the game. it was, it was the proudest moment, it was for italy, their championship. all eyes will be on paris tonight where england are the only team standing in the way of france winning a first six nations title and grand slam for 12 years.

on wednesday, there was no shortage of energy or quality. this goal the reward for arsenal's spring heeled start. this is a team and a club with renewed purpose, aston villa were lunging just to keep pace. arsenal still needed more distance though, a second goal that would make the game safe. it remained just out of reach. it left them vulnerable to villa stepping into the lights come on found an angle but not the right one. last kick of the game, aston villa free kick, just a time when arsenal of old might fold, not now. the root of the top four opens up and arsenal have the sun on their backs. giorgos giakoumakis' second hat—trick in five games has moved celtic six points clear of rangers at the top of the scottish premiership tonight. ross county swept aside 4—0 at celtic park. aberdeen came from behind to get their first premiership win underjim goodwin against 10—man hibernian, it finished 3—1. hearts further strengthening their grip on third place with a 2—0

ireland have won in the six nations. let's see what england can do against france tonight. up next it is clicked. welcome, welcome, welcome. do you remember the time when you bid on an

item and you thought you were going to win the auction and in the dying a few seconds, you were beaten by someone else? they weren't real people. they were computer programmes. now, this idea is being used in new ways and we have been looking at the phenomenon of the scalpers. with the pandemic came lockdowns, and with the majority of the population stuck at home, we had nothing really to do...but buy. and so online spending went up. we bought clothes, hobby kits, sourdough starters, fire pits, hot tubs, gym equipment, anything to get us through it, and that includes gaming consoles like the brand—new ps5. but there was a problem — the semiconductor shortage.

the shortage of semiconductors... they don't have the semiconductors... what is that? simply put, they are the brains of modern electronics. so, they're in pretty much every product. electronics need them. cars, smart phones, laptops, gaming consoles. and so, with very few on the market, fans are trying websites to try and get them. however, there is money to be made. in come the scalpers. so, these are people who buy rare or sought—after items and resell them again at a higher price to make a profit. you've probably seen them outside of concerts, reselling tickets, or putting up a nice pair of shoes on ebay for double the price. but the modern scalper is a little bit different. they use internet bots — online software that's programmed to do a certain task. so, that could be buying the first tickets available for a trip to majorca. telling me when the ferrari

testarossa is under 100k. or telling me when new stock of ps5 appears on a website. and when you've got a bot, there's almost no limit to how many you could buy to allow you to resale. and the fact is, whether you like it or not, scalping and the use of stock check bots are legal. douglas, could you give a clap for me, please? this is douglas chapman, an mp leading the charge in proposing to ban the resale of gaming consoles purchased with automated bots. i think it's skewing the market beyond what's reasonable. you know, i think we need to look as well about what are the protections for the consumer, returns policy, for example, if something's not working properly, you know, how does it affect guarantees? are they paying tax? are they paying vat? are they registered for vat? they're there purely trying to make a quick buck

on the back of somebody who's desperate.
