try for a bonus point. they top the group, chile and samoa are next, but there's still a lot of room for improvement, yeah, the players done tremendously well. i think that was a really tough test match against a well coached japanese site who came with the tactical plan and played the game differently to any anyone else in the world plays and the players did tremendously well to the game to get the result. look, i am look, lam incredibly look, i am incredibly proud of the guys _ look, i am incredibly proud of the guys on _ look, i am incredibly proud of the guys on the — look, i am incredibly proud of the guys on the way they try to execute a plan _ guys on the way they try to execute a plan. there were parts of the game that surprised england, in terms of the kicking — that surprised england, in terms of the kicking game, you put them under a lot of— the kicking game, you put them under a lot of pressure and created opportunities for us. but the opportunities for us. but the opportunities we created we didn't take, _ opportunities we created we didn't take, we _ opportunities we created we didn't

but went round in 67 and finished on 18—under, one shot clear of two englishmen aaron rai and tyrell hatton. he's the first kiwi to win the tournament. i don't really know what to think at the moment, to be honest. i have always struggled around here. i snack one top 20 and struggled to make cuts here. to have a back nine like that, considering how started the day, it is great. i saw a couple of putts go in and it was a pretty cool feeling on the last to know i had the win. cool feeling on the last to know i had the win. fox might have won the tournament, but the leaderboard looked very good for the europe team ahead of the ryder cup that starts next week. seven of luke donald's team, including rory mciiroy, finished in the top 10. i'm notfar i'm not far away. there are a couple of little things, more so my mrs. my

good swings are good swings the neck can hit good shots, but it is managing the messes and making sure there are not too many end there. hit bad shots from time from time to time, that is inevitable. what i did well was playing away from those misses. i manage my game better but it would be nice to go to rome without those misses in the bag. sahith theegala held onto his overnight lead in california for a first victory on the us tour. the american picked up three shots in his first five holes in the fortinet championship and that gave him a nice cushion as he held on to finish on 18—under, two clear of south korea's sh kim. it is probably not going to set in for a while, but that was some good golf. that was some of the most fun i have ever had in my life. i have

so many family and friends here. the support i have had is mind blowing. i can't believe how many people are cheering for me and rooting for me. this feeling is incredible and i couldn't have done without my whole team and everyone out here. this is such a team effort and for me to put it together like this, it means the world to me. it together like this, it means the world to me. harry brook will be rested for the one—day series against ireland that starts this week. that's after gate—crashing england's squad for next month's world cup. he's in afterjason roy missed the new zealand series because of back spasms, and won't be risked in india. the feedback, obviously very disappointed. also he knows what professional sport is like, he has been around long enough, i'm sure he's had disappointing moments in his career as well. we have had to do the same thing with harry brooke, as well, but this time for him it

was a good call and that is how professional sport is, it is not nice at times, it can be amazing but it is not always highlight reels. it can be amazing but it is not always highlight reels. joe root has been called up to the england squad for that ireland series at his own request, to try and find some form ahead of the world cup. that's all the sport for now. five metropolitan police officers are due to appear at a gross—misconduct hearing over the stop—and—search of athlete bianca williams. the british sprinter and her partner, richard dos santos, were stopped in their car in west london injuly 2020. they were handcuffed, searched and separated from their three—month—old son, but nothing was found and no arrests were made.

our community affairs correspondent adina campbell has more on this. it has taken three years to reach this misconduct hearing. it was back in the summer of 2020 when bianca williams and her partner, ricardo dos santos, were stopped in the maida vale area of west london. they had been making their way back from a training session. they had their three—month—old baby son in the back of their vehicle. at the time, the metropolitan police said they had reason to stop their car because they thought it was being driven suspiciously and they had been patrolling the area due to an increase in violence. the couple were restrained and handcuffed. no weapons or drugs were found and none of them were arrested. the video of what happened was posted on social media by the former 100 metre olympic champion linford christie. and shortly afterwards, that's when the metropolitan police and, shortly afterwards, that's when the metropolitan police

referred itself to the police watchdog, the independent 0ffice of police conduct. the hearing behind me is set to officially open today. the five officers at the centre of this, it's an acting police sergeant and four police constable's there be facing allegations of whether or not they breached professional standards of police conduct. bianca williams and ricardo dos santos say they were racially profiled and they believe they were stopped because they were black. it's believed the officers involved will deny any wrongdoing. the hearing itself is set to take place over the next few weeks and, if the allegations are proven and amount to misconduct, gross misconduct, the officers could lose theirjobs. new research suggests the social media platform snapchat was involved in nearly half of all online grooming crimes recorded by police in england and wales in the past year. figures obtained by the nspcc show there were more than 2,000 known cases of sexual communication

with a child on the platform. the children's charity is part of a global coalition of more than 100 sexual absuse survivors, families and child safety experts. they are demanding tech companies take responsibility to protect children on their sites. joining me now is rani govender, who is a senior policy and public affairs officer at nspcc. why is snapchat popular with the groomers? irate why is snapchat popular with the uroomers? ~ ~' ., , why is snapchat popular with the uroomers? ~ ~ ., , ., why is snapchat popular with the uroomers? ~ ., , ., ., ., groomers? we know first of all that sna chat groomers? we know first of all that snapchat is — groomers? we know first of all that snapchat is an _ groomers? we know first of all that snapchat is an incredibly _ groomers? we know first of all that snapchat is an incredibly popular i snapchat is an incredibly popular app snapchat is an incredibly popular app amongst children. children and young people are using it on a daily basis. there are specific features on snapchat that make children particularly vulnerable to grooming. ultimately, snapchat has been designed with children's safety

away the cloud and rain we've seen so far today. the second band, which has started the day in western areas, will clear away from the east coast after some rumbles of thunder east anglia and the southeast during the afternoon. it lingers on the far north east of scotland. a bit of a blustery wind to go across the uk today, but lots more sunshine compared with the morning, especially in the west where there will still be a few showers coming through in the breeze. those showers keep going into tonight, but to be replaced in ireland by some more persistent rain after midnight, and then later into central southern scotland, northwest england, north and west wales. mild enough night in the south, not quite as mild as last night. a fresh start tomorrow in the far north of scotland, where we'll see some of the driest and the brightest of the weather. but an area of low pressure is there just to the north of us and it's on the southern edge. we're going to be driving in these weather fronts on strong to gale force winds, particularly for england and wales. now, heavy rain to begin with. scotland, northern england will ease through, and rain will come and go, i think, through the day across the central swathe of the uk. maybe a few showers, east anglia, southeast, one or two showers, but some brighter weather in northern scotland. but the cloud will thin at times.

we will see some glimmers of brightness, but to go with it, we've got winds around the hills and coasts of england and wales gusting 40, 50, maybe even 60 miles an hour. and even though the air is a little bit more humid, it will be tempered by the strength of that wind, which remains strong through the night and into wednesday. another batch of weather fronts will then work its way southwards through the day, only slowly, which will bring some fresher air to the north and the west of the country. but along that band, we'll see ripples of heavier rain, which could affect those saturated areas of the south west of england, where we saw the flooding through yesterday. wednesday, though, bright enough towards the south and east, sunshine and showers to finish the day in the north and the west. it's going to feel like september this week. that continues a certainly fresh feel on friday. some of the driest weather uk wide at the moment likely to be on saturday. take care.
