can i want to have a look at the tweets that we mentioned earlier. as he can see that is a tweet from tim shipman and it says... just to make clear, that is not our picture of borisjonnson, it is the image, a caricature that's come with the article there. of course, boris jonnson hasjust article there. of course, boris jonnson has just returned from holiday. those two, borisjonnson rishi sunak at the two main candidates in the contest to become the next prime minister. this is being reported by the sunday times. what tim shipman is saying is that the meeting had been delayed from earlier on saturday and may now take place later this evening. if we get any more on that, we will bring it to you. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello, it stays mild through the second half of the weekend and into next week. we've got further rain in the forecast, and this is much more likely to be thundery as this area of low pressure extends its way north and eastwards through tonight and into tomorrow.

the showers that we have had this afternoon across the south of the uk will push their way north and eastwards overnight. some clear skies ahead of these and behind, but also some mist and fog. before more heavy thundery rain arrives from the south—west later in the night. the far north of scotland likely to keep more cloud, some patchy rain here. temperatures generally in a range of 10—14 celsius. for tomorrow, it's another day of sunshine and showers, but this time the showers are much more likely to be heavy and thundery. especially through the morning, through parts of wales, central southern england. this band then pushes its way north and eastwards through the day, some sunshine following on behind. some sunshine, too, across north of scotland. it should stay mainly dry here for much of the day. where we have got the sunshine, further showers developing again, heavy and thundery, and more starting to push on from the south—west later in the day. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines...

the former chancellor rishi sunak looks set to officially enter the conservative leadership race after securing the backing of more than 100 mps. rivals of borisjohnson dismiss claims by his allies that he's also reached 100 backers, with speculation rife he could enter the contest. the leader of the commons, penny mordaunt, is the only person to formally announce that she's running, but has fewer supporters. ukrainian officials say around a million and a half households are without power following a new wave of russian attacks. and england's lionesses will face china and denmark at next year's world cup in australia and new zealand. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday.

a huge shock in the premier league as nottingham forest beat liverpool. two more from erling haaland, the goal machine continues his astonishing start in the lead. and england's t20 world cup is under way, and what a start for sam curran. and in new zealand, scotland are out of the women's rugby world cup. the holders and hosts stay on course to defend their title. welcome along to a packed programme

for you this saturday evening — lots to come, but we'll start with a big win for the premier league side that started the day bottom of the table. nottingham forrest stunned liverpool at a rocking city ground to win 1—0 and move off the foot of the table. the visitors were a long way from their best and raised more questions about their form. reginaldo rosario was watching. this is how much three points met to nottingham forest on a day they had waited 23 long years for. they had not met in the premier league since the turn of the century. old rivalries renewed at the city ground. steve cooper's side started the day bottom but they certainly didn't play like it. jesse lingard testing out in one of several chancesin testing out in one of several chances in the first—half. despite dominating possession, this was not the liverpool that have won three straight games heading into this match. a sign that they were below

power. and jurgen klopp�*s site would be punished by a familiar face. power. and jurgen klopp�*s site would be punished by a familiarface. 0n liverpool's book for six years, but he took full advantage of his former side's defending at the second attempt. for us to threaten to turn the screw, first morgan gibbs denied by a last ditch park. it was the home side that ended the game under serious pressure. even the freedom of nottingham in the box, but these fingertips came to his site's rescue. a momentous win for nottingham forest, one that might just kick—start their season. plenty of forrest fans celebrating a big scalp on their return to the top flight after a 23—year absence.

as with manager stephen cooper. a very important win for the club. 0bviously very important win for the club. obviously a lot of nice history around the fixture, and the fact we are back in the premier league, this is definitely a game that fans would look forward to, so for us to win the games is an important one for many generations of the supporters and players as well. going forward, it is a good reference point for us to show that we can compete at this level and we can create chances, and we are feeling very satisfied with our work and deserving of it as well. i our work and deserving of it as well. . ., ., ., _, well. i have no idea how we could lose this game — well. i have no idea how we could lose this game to _ well. i have no idea how we could lose this game to be _ well. i have no idea how we could lose this game to be honest. - well. i have no idea how we could lose this game to be honest. not| lose this game to be honest. not that we _ lose this game to be honest. not that we played exceptionally well, i did not_ that we played exceptionally well, i did not expect that. all the changes we had _ did not expect that. all the changes we had to— did not expect that. all the changes we had to make and the intense week we had to make and the intense week we had _ we had to make and the intense week we had behind us, it was clear that we had behind us, it was clear that we had _ we had behind us, it was clear that we had to— we had behind us, it was clear that we had to make a fight of it. this time, _ we had to make a fight of it. this time, we — we had to make a fight of it. this time, we didn't. we didn't hit the target _ time, we didn't. we didn't hit the target or— time, we didn't. we didn't hit the target or the goalie made a sensational save. and that it now,

towards the play off places. managerless hull won 4—2 at rotherham to earn back—to—back wins for the first time this season. sheffield united and norwich drew 2—2. and coventry moved to third bottom with a 2—0 win at stoke. in the scottish premiership, leaders celtic came through a 7 goal thriller to beat hearts 4—3 at tynecastle. var took centre stage on the weekend it was introduced to the league, with one of hearts' goals coming from the spot after scottish football's first on—field review. jim lumsden was watching this one. making just its second appearance in the scottish premiership, all eyes were on var. james forrest's opener for celtic, a chance to monitor its progress. a penalty for hertsjust before half—time after scottish football's first ever on field review. lawrence shankland stepped up review. lawrence shankland stepped up and made no mistake. the frenetic pace continued, lawrence shankland grabbed his second. celtic in front.

hearts were then granted another penalty with var ordering a retake, after lawrence shankland's team—mates trade... apologies for the interruption to that report their own celtic, but as you can see their own celtic, but as you can see the final results there for— three to celtic at hearts. that means they have gone four points clear at the top of the table after rangers drew with livingston. aberdeen are up to third after a rare away win at motherwell. st mirren climbed to fourth, scoring the winnerjust eight minutes from time against struggling dundee united. and kilmarnock beat bottom side ross county to create a little breathing space between them and the relegation zone. still to come on sportsday — more football from the wsl. and england find out their opponents for next year's

decision to go first paid off. this is superb dive got some musical appreciation. then came a succession of stunning catches. and this one from buttler. but it was sam curran who was man of the match. becoming the first englishman to take five wickets in an international t20. and so to bat. ii3 wickets in an international t20. and so to bat. 113 the target for england, but the afghans had some good fielders of their own. the chase perhaps tougher for england than expected, but livingston's unbeaten 29 got them over the line. a convincing win by five wickets, and england second in their group. jane dougal, bbc news. let's hearfrom sam curran now on being the first man to take a five—wicket haul in t20 internationals for england — something that was news to him. it's my first world cup game and

obviously the energy when i woke up this morning to know that you are going to be playing in a world cup gives you that extra bit of buzz, obviously missing that last one. 0bviously my first time playing here as well, so i'm really enjoying i guess the balance and the pace, and you can obviously use the dimensions of the ground as well. i'm just really enjoying it. the opening game of the super 12 saw hosts australia against new zealand. and the defending champions fell to an 89—run defeat to the kiwis in sydney. devon conway's 92 helped the black caps to 200 for 3 and the hosts had no response in their chase, collapsing to 111 all out — glenn phillips taking a stunning catch in the field to round off a perfect day for new zealand. so good we will see it a second time. you have got to be kidding! a

be through to the quarterfinals, but the aussies were also competing for automatic qualification and they took an early lead with this shimmy under the posts. shona harry stretched over the line and from there wales restricted australia to just two penalties with the match finishing 13—7. the defensive effort handed wales a point, but they will have to wait on other results to find out if it is enough to see them through. find out if it is enough to see them throu~h. . . find out if it is enough to see them throu~h. , . ., , through. gutted after that result, but we put _ through. gutted after that result, but we put 10094. _ through. gutted after that result, but we put 100% into _ through. gutted after that result, but we put 10094. into it. - through. gutted after that result, but we put 10094. into it. we - through. gutted after that result, but we put 100% into it. we had i through. gutted after that result, l but we put 10096 into it. we had to but we put 100% into it. we had to capitalise _ but we put 100% into it. we had to capitalise on some of our opportunities, and hopefully we make it through _ opportunities, and hopefully we make it through next week and we are ready— it through next week and we are ready to — it through next week and we are ready to go again.— it through next week and we are ready to go again. there aren't many thins ready to go again. there aren't many things more — ready to go again. there aren't many things more intimidation _ ready to go again. there aren't many things more intimidation than - ready to go again. there aren't many things more intimidation than facing | things more intimidation than facing a new sealant on their home turf. first you have the hacker, then you have to try to stop one of the greatest teams in world rugby. u nfortu nately greatest teams in world rugby. unfortunately for scotland, this was too much. the black prince had their

to the premiership season continued, with alex goode kicking a penalty in added time to edge exeter at sandy park. the visitors looked assured and led for most of the game, until exeter centre henry slade — not included in england's autumn squad — looked to have kicked a match winning penalty for the hosts four minutes from time. but alex goode, on as a sub, for a record—equalling 338th first team appearance, kicked a penalty of his own, in added time to fire saracens to sixth successive premiership victory. elsewhere, bath earned their first win of the season as they overcame northampton saints 27—14 at the rec and with it climbed off the bottom of the table. and bristol's game against worcester was cancelled, with the club currently in administration and suspended from the league. in the united rugby championship, edinburgh got their first away win of the season at italian side zebre. adam mcburney scored two of their six tries in total, with matt currie, jamie hodgson, wes goosen and henry immelman

with that try there also crossing the line — a bonus point 38—19 victory. 0ne game ongoing right now — a big interprovincial clash in dublin between leinster and munster. 22-13. and those other games there involving ulster and glasgow in south africa have been postponed because of gastroenteritis infections in the travelling squads. to the rugby league world cup now. england are well on their way to making it two wins from two at the rugby league world cup. he had two tries within the opening ten minutes at the stadium, and then england began a second half in similarfashion. and then england began a second half in similar fashion. and then this england began a second half in similarfashion. and then this is the life pictures now. as you can

biggest and best world cup to date, and it was co—hosted by... most importantly, we found out he was going to play hugh in the group stages. england in group d, the republic of ireland in group b, and both will be stationed in australia. i caught up with both managers, the republic of ireland boss, but first here is the england manager. fiur here is the england manager. our o- onent here is the england manager. our opponent we _ here is the england manager.

semi—different styles, i'm quite confident about the group we are in. saying that, we know with denmark, we saw in the euros, so if you could stop the flow to our erling haaland, we should be ok. for china, they were losing games by big scores, 8—2 and 5—0. so they are a team that were conceding goals, but now they have got themselves going, you would have got themselves going, you would have to say that they are probably going to be looking forward. then it depends on who we get. with serena, she is so good in preparation. it is going to be interesting to see who she plays in friendlies leading up to going on. i'm quite confident. simply because i know how good our girls are and how good our manager

that's about it here. just a quick update on the football. chelsea are taking on manchester united, approaching 70 minutes gone there, still goalless. you can follow that on the bbc sport website, and that is also where you can get all the day's news if you want a little bit more on the stories we brought you. and apologies for some of the technical issues you have experienced during this programme. for me and the team, have a lovely evening. goodbye. hello. it stays mild through the second half of the weekend and into next week as well. and still further showers or longer spells of rain all tied in with this area of low pressure, which will bring some thundery rain north and eastwards across the uk tonight and through tomorrow as well. we've also got south or south easterly winds, and we've got this extremely mild air across england, wales, scotland and northern ireland.

so it stays mild both by day and by night. back to tonight, and we'll have further showers pushing their way north and eastwards, heavy and thundery, ahead and behind them for a while, some clear spells, but also some mist and fog before another spell of heavy thundery rain starts to arrive from the southwest later in the night. the far north of scotland likely to keep more cloud with just some patchy rain here. temperatures not much lower than 12 or 13 celsius in places. so a very mild night for the time of year. for tomorrow, it's another day of sunshine and showers. but this time the showers, the longer spells of rain, are much more likely to be heavy and thundery, particularly through the morning across parts of wales, central, southern and southwest england. this band then pushes its way north and eastwards as the day wears on, becoming confined to scotland through the afternoon, where the north of scotland should be dry with some sunshine, some sunshine behind it as well. but watch out for further sharp and thundery showers developing through the afternoon. temperatures on a par with saturday,

really — 14—18 celsius, the top temperature, just 11 celsius for the northern isles, and the winds not as strong as they have been recently, but still quite gusty for the northern isles and also for channel coasts as well. we could likely see gales through the channel, and as we head through sunday night and into monday, another spell of heavy thundery rain starts to arrive from the southwest. so this is then how monday shapes up. we've still got this area of low pressure close by, and we'll still keep some thundery showers going through the early hours of monday, and at first on monday as well, particularly for some eastern areas — they will start to pull away. and behind that, we'll see some sunshine developing for many eastern areas. but out to the west, more showers starting to pile in, and still some gusty winds through the irish sea and also along channel coasts as well. still some spells of sunshine and the temperatures again in the mid, if not high teens — it should still feel quite warm in that sunshine. and actually, the temperatures will rise a little bit in the week ahead. we could see 20—21 celsius across parts of east anglia and south east england later in the week, but also further showers or longer spells of rain.
