through the afternoon. temperatures on par with this afternoon, so 11—13 celsius across scotland, and northern england and northern ireland, 14—18 celsius elsewhere. this band of showers and rain extends its way north and eastwards as we had through sunday evening and overnight. most of it out of the way on monday, so we start the week on monday and tuesday dry with some sunshine, but wetter and windier by wednesday.

it is bbc news. the headlines. as the prime minister fights for her political life, the new chancellor admits mistakes were made in rolling out the new economic policy and that some taxes will rise. we out the new economic policy and that some taxes will rise.— some taxes will rise. we are going to take some _ some taxes will rise. we are going to take some tough _ some taxes will rise. we are going to take some tough decisions, - some taxes will rise. we are going to take some tough decisions, not| to take some tough decisions, not just on spending but also on tax because we have to show the world

of the rugby league world cup. we know what we can do and we can still improve on that performance. no doubt about it in my mind. not quite the rout this time but england are living up to their favourites tag. it's two out of two in the women's rugby union world cup. and boos for brendan rodgers and leicester. but at least they're not bottom of the league any more. also coming up in the programme... a tumble takes away britain's madison medal chances on day four of the track cycling world championships in paris. hello again. england would have hoped to win the opening game of the rugby league world cup.

but like this? perhaps not even the most optimistic fan would have expected the hosts to run in ten tries to beat another tournament contender. but england's 60 points to 6 win over samoa in newcastle provided exactly that, as adam wild reports. the rugby league world cup had to wait a year later than planned but a tournament like any the game has seen before. it was being branded as the biggest, the best in the sport's history, it had a lot to live up to. frustratingly, that weight would go on a little longer, major technical problems meant the opening ceremony was curtailed. it was left on the players to make their own introductions, some hour building the atmosphere as only they can. england were going to need something special, the occasion definitely needed it. young starjack rell suddenly on hand to provide it. england find a little bit of magic!

and with that, the moment the world cup came alive, tom young, whose families from newcastle and who plays newcastle australia now delighting the english crowd in newcastle. many have tipped him to be a standout star of this tournament but we can see why. it is tournament but we can see why. it is a culmination — tournament but we can see why. it is a culmination of _ tournament but we can see why. it 3 a culmination of circus trips tournament but we can see why. it 1 a culmination of circus trips and superman. a culmination of circus trips and superman-_ a culmination of circus trips and suerman. , ., ,_, superman. the first half scoreline welcome more _ superman. the first half scoreline welcome more capital _ superman. the first half scoreline welcome more capital than - superman. the first half scoreline welcome more capital than many| welcome more capital than many expected, in the second england's world cup charge really took off, ten tries in total, in a dominant display of power.— display of power. england uns double. and _ display of power. england uns double. and so _ display of power. england uns double. and so the _ display of power. england uns double. and so the result - display of power. england uns - double. and so the result england desperately _ double. and so the result england desperately wanted _ double. and so the result england desperately wanted to _ double. and so the result england desperately wanted to go - double. and so the result england desperately wanted to go with - double. and so the result england desperately wanted to go with off| desperately wanted to go with off her tech —— perfect start but further why don't rugby league world cup that relief that this world cup is finally under way. adam wilding, bbc news and newcastle. adam while there is still at newcastle. adam, head of this game, not many people were convinced england would win, let alone so emphatically. if

adam, i wonder it if it has reset expectations, what are they now? well, the sky is the limit, if today is anything to go by. let me bring in robbie hunt. let's be clear, was that england being brilliant or similar at not being ready enough? you know, ithink similar at not being ready enough? you know, i think it is fair to say thaim _ you know, i think it is fair to say thaim thai— you know, i think it is fair to say thaim that is— you know, i think it is fair to say that... that is what these early rounds— that... that is what these early rounds are _ that... that is what these early rounds are about. you can see that sian ryan — rounds are about. you can see that sian ryan has invested into that england — sian ryan has invested into that england squad, they prepared really well, we _ england squad, they prepared really well, we so it may performance against — well, we so it may performance against fiji _ well, we so it may performance against fiji last week and i have taken _ against fiji last week and i have taken it— against fiji last week and i have taken it to — against fiji last week and i have taken it to another level today. they _ taken it to another level today. they were _ taken it to another level today. they were bullied, the final 20 minutes— they were bullied, the final 20 minutes they've racked up the points for the _ minutes they've racked up the points for the opening 20 minutes, the decision—making, how they decided to -et decision—making, how they decided to get forward, itjust decision—making, how they decided to get forward, it just took all the energy— get forward, it just took all the energy out of similar and that is why we — energy out of similar and that is why we saw the breakaway happen in the point—scoring margin that we enjoyed — the point—scoring margin that we enjoyed tonight. who in particular impressed you? i really liked the look impressed you? i really liked the iook of— impressed you? i really liked the look of victor radley, there was stuff_ look of victor radley, there was stuff that— look of victor radley, there was stuff that he was doing in and

emily scarratt crashing through a resolute defence to touch down, kicking the conversion and a penalty to put her side ahead the break. after the restart, england built, but blundered. and as pressure mounted, tempers flared and spilled over. in this kind of game, points matter, skerritt stretching england's lead and that kick proving to be a wise decision as moments later, france showed their class, putting themselves on the scoreboard and right back in it. a big finish loomed but while the french defence held strong in the closing stages, keeping england at bay, they themselves could not find a way through to close the gap. england rattled but make it two wins out of two. meanwhile there was more world cup heartache for scotland. having led australia 12—0 at the break, they were overrun hope of making the quarterfinals.

alive with a 30—17 win overjapan. meanwhile, it's the end of another turbulent week for men's domestic rugby union, with wasps�* game at exeter called off because of the financial woes that will likely see them join worcester in being suspended and eventually relegated. of the three games that took place today, a late adam hastings penalty saw gloucester edge past bristol by 31—28 at the kingsholm stadium. the game had been level since the hour mark until hastings stepped up with three minutes remaining, the result sees the home side move in to the play—off spots. elsewhere, there were also wins for northampton and saracens against newcastle and bath respectively. saracens now move to the top of the table, one point above sale. norhampton remain in third place, with gloucester just behind in fourth. in the united rugby championship, ulster held off a lions fightback to win their first—ever game

on south african soil. this late penalty from nathan doak was enough to secure victory for the irish outfit and the win leaves them second in the table, just two points behind leinster. elsewhere, and it was disappointment for the glasgow warriors as they were beaten 110—12 by the sharks in durban. aphelele fassi ran in one of four second half tries as the south africans took the victory and cemented their place in the play—offs. two games ongoing in the urc — cardiff leading dragons and edinburgh ahead against benetton — munster—bulls and scarlets—zebre get under way injust under an hour's time. you're watching sportsday. still to come... a rivalry that's been brewing for a decade, and now the undisputed middleweight world title is on the line for claressa shields and savannah marshall. she wants to be free and go off for coffee now.

football now. all of the bottom three have matches today in the premier league. and leicester have moved temporarily off the foot of the table after a goalless draw at home to crystal palace. but still, the reaction at the king power suggests expectations are not being met, as dan ogunshakin reports. (tx vt) if brendan rodgers was feeling the pressure, his pre—match demeanour did not suggest it. lest but that players didn't reflect their manager's devil may care attitude at the first half. harvey barnes was one exception, going closer than anyone. palace didn't set the stadium of light either. the second half saw greater intensity from the foxes with james madison to the fore. first shooting overfrom

bounces cut back, before dragging a shotjust wide minutes later. at the other end, edward reminded us palace was still a threat denied by a save. maddison looked leicester back lot most likely creative start but timothy was unable to convert his corner. vieira's reaction captured the mood perfectly as it ended goalless. boos at the final whistle as patient seems to be wearing thin. i always felt it would be a season where we need to be patient, after our marker in the summer. the players are very focused. you can see them fighting, you can see them running, you can see their confidence to take the ball and it is just that final bit on the pitch which we just need that little bit of luck and something to drop four,

and if we can do that, the team will continue to gain more points. leicester's point meant nottingham forest started their match at wolves bottom of the table. and they're still there after losing by a goal to nil. it's caretaker boss steve davies' first win in his two games in charge. and it was a game of two penalties, with wolves converting theirs through ruben neves, and forest having theirs saved by jose sa. it's only wolves�* fourth league goal of the season but it takes them out of the bottom three for the time being. it feels great. any one you get, particular at home, you know, we needed that badly as well, we were desperate for that result just to try and kick—start what we are doing this season. it is a reward for the work they put in this week as well, the players went to a medically hard to get that result and i thought throughout the game, the first half particularly, we were excellent, the second half we tired towards the end, they put us under a bit of
