australia beat portugal, but could still get knocked out of the rugby world cup at the group stage. record crowds and a win for defending champions chelsea on the opening day of the women's super league. hello and welcome along to the programme. where we'll start in italy where europe have won the ryder cup beating the usa, despite the american team ensuring some final day drama in the singles. the winning moment fell to tommy fleetwood, as europe claim a seventh straight ryder cup at home winning this one by 16.5—11.5. andy swiss reports from rome.

well, the final scoreline here was certainly in barter in europe's favour, there was a brief period whether european fans may have been getting a little bit nervous. they got off to a great start on the final day with victories for victor hoglund, and rory mcllroy and that meant they only needed half a point to win the cup. getting that final healthpoint proved a little bit tricky. matt fitzpatrick missed a putt to clinch the cup. at that point european fans who have been looking down the scoreboard and sing off a lot of red and wondering where that highpoint was going to come from. in the end, it was tommy fleetwood, one your�*s most popularfigures fleetwood, one your�*s most popular figures who deliver the points that ultimately leads to them the victory. so what that means is that the usa's long wait for a ryder cup victory on european soil continues. they have not won away from home since 1993 stop and make no mistake, europe thoroughly deserved this victory, they led from start to finish. they got

off to the brilliant start on friday when they won all four of the opening matches on friday morning and the us never recovered from that dreadful start. so ultimately it was a comfortable and emphatic scoreline in europe's favour. it's an incredible week and i'm just so happy for these 12 guys. they gave everything this week. they were a pleasure to be around. they made my life very easy and they played like superstars. not many people gave us a chance, don't think, especially two years ago. and, yeah, we proved them wrong. the fans and the people of the home — the fans and the people of the home team or whatever are a big part _ home team or whatever are a big part it's — home team or whatever are a big part. it's the energy, it's kind _ part. it's the energy, it's kind of— part. it's the energy, it's kind of like the fuel to the engine _ kind of like the fuel to the engine of it, if you will. and

that's— engine of it, if you will. and that's special. so, you know, four— that's special. so, you know, four years _ that's special. so, you know, four years from now, you know, we will— four years from now, you know, we will learn from it and hopefully we can implement a better— hopefully we can implement a better process, certainly, than i did _ better process, certainly, than i did and — better process, certainly, than i did and we can show up in ireland— i did and we can show up in ireland and obviously retain it, ireland and obviously retain it. get— ireland and obviously retain it. get it _ ireland and obviously retain it, get it back in new york, but — it, get it back in new york, but keepit wants to be get to ireland _ but keepit wants to be get to ireland. so playing on foreign soil, — ireland. so playing on foreign soil, i— ireland. so playing on foreign soil, i wouldn't have it any soil, iwouldn't have it any other— soil, iwouldn't have it any other way— soil, i wouldn't have it any other way as the leader, that is the — other way as the leader, that is the way— other way as the leader, that is the way i'm wired. australia kept their slim hopes of reaching the rugby world cup quarter—finals alive with a 34—14 victory over portugal in their final pool match in saint etienne. portugal had taken an early 5—3 lead, but eddiejones�*s side ran in five tries to secure a bonus—point win. australia led 24—7 at half—time and secured the fourth bonus—point try which keeps them in contention for a place in the final eight. the win means they're now second in pool c. but fiji need just one point from their own match against portugal next week to overtake australia and qualify for

the quarterfinals. i'm not interested in conjecturing about portugal and fiji next week. you know, as i said, we had one objective and we have achieved that. i'm pleased for the players, they have worked really hard, as they have all tournaments and they have all tournaments and they deserve some accolades for their performance today. to the defending champions, south africa beat tonga a9—18 for a bonus point victory. jesse kriel scoring the vital fourth try for the springboks leaving them on the brink of the quarterfinals. the game between scotland and ireland next saturday will decide the final order of pool b. after scotland's big 84—0 win over romania at the rugby world cup last night, it's another six days before england, scotland, wales, or ireland play again at the tournament in france. all four will play their final pool matches next saturday. two of them have secured a spot in the quarter finals already,

that's wales and england and our correspondent katie gornall has been with the england camp today. well, england's players were given some time off last week. they had to stay in france, someone to the beach, others with families, the children to disneyland, and others like dan cole decided to stay here and have a bit of time to switch off. but they are all now back, fully in training, gearing up theirfinal fully in training, gearing up their final group fully in training, gearing up theirfinal group game fully in training, gearing up their final group game against samoa in lille. without local quarter—final with fiji on the horizon as well. remember, england have qualified for the quarter—finals of the game to spare. that is significant when you think back to the start of the tournament when expectations were very low outside of the england camp. they had lost five of the six previous tests and some people are predicting there might have gone out in the group stages. but england have won the last three games here at the world

cup. there is a lot of confidence in the cabin they have this dead rubber, i suppose good golfer, look forward to against samoa. richard wigglesworth, the attack goes, has been talking about how they will approach the game against samoa with qualification already secured. i don't think there will be experimentation in this. i don't think missing team will probably get played game after game. the team picked will be the best team to go and try to beat samoa.— the best team to go and try to beat samoa. , , , ._ , beat samoa. the pressure may be offered for — beat samoa. the pressure may be offered for england, _ beat samoa. the pressure may be offered for england, but _ beat samoa. the pressure may be offered for england, but for- offered for england, but for samoa this is a huge game. they have described it as like a cup finals of them. they know if they beat england they will automatically qualify for the next world cup. england, of course, will be huge favourites for this game against a tier 2 nation. but have lots of experience in their side, they have formal all blacks in the squad and they also have players with a lot of premiership experience, the lights of the ian mcfarlane well, the saracen start early

players will know well. england certainly won't be under met —— underestimating samoa. they've talked about the physical challenge they expect, but they won't be taking anything for granted. rangers have sacked their manager michael beale after they lost to aberdeen this weekend. that was rangers' third scottish premiership defeat of the season. afterjust seven games, they are in third place, seven points off the league leaders, celtic and have also suffered a heavy champions league play—off defeat to psv eindhoven this month. there was a place in the top half of the premier league table on offer for the winner of the only premier league match on sunday. there was a nightmare spell for the hosts, nottingham forest, with moussa niakhate sent off just before the hour mark and a couple of minutes later brentford's captain christian norgaard got the opening goal. but nicolas dominguez scored his first goal for forest to level and it finished 1—1 at the city ground. forest move up to 11th, while brentford end the weekend in 13th place in the premier league.

we just haven't been able to turn some of our good positions into real threatening moments and that is an evolution of the team. we are trying to change a little bit with the players we have brought in and we know we are step—by—step. it is only a second season back in the premier league. we really become the thing we want to be that that is a part of the game we have got to look probably more of a threat than we have been. that is the exciting bit. there is work to do. we have young players we know can make a difference and have the talent. let's carry on working. the defending champions chelsea have secured their first win of the new women's super league season with a 2—1victory over tottenham hotspur. mia fishel got the opening goal on her debut for chelsea, heading home on 28 minutes. laurenjames scored the second just after half time to double chelsea's lead. tottenham pulled a goal back in the 76th minute, through martha thomas and despite trying spurs couldn't find an equaliser. liverpool had a surprise 1—0 victory over arsenal, miri taylor scoring in the second half. that match was played in front of a record wsl crowd of over 5a,000 at emirates stadium.

there were also wins for brighton, leicester city, manchester city, and manchester united. top seed carlos alcaraz cruised into the quarterfinals of the china open with a straight sets victory over lorenzo musetti in the second round. alcaraz hit 18 winners and broke the italian�*s serve four times as he became the first player to win 60 tour level matches this season. next up for alcaraz is seventh—seeded casper ruud, who was taken to three sets by tomas martin etcheverry in a three—hour thriller. history has been made yet again by four—time olympic champion, simone biles as she became the first woman to land a yurchenko double pike vault. the move is rated the most difficult for women and completing it put biles into first place in all—around qualifying at the world gymnastics championships. the american will now have the move named after her. biles was competing internationally for the first time since taking a two—year break to work on her mental

health, having suffered from what's known as the �*twisties' at the tokyo olympics, when gymnasts lose their sense of space awareness while in the air. well done to simone biles there. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc hello. following on from our very warm september, october has also started on a warm note — particularly towards the south. that's the way it'll stay through the next few days, at least. we're looking at some warm days ahead, particularly towards the south. mild nights with no frost around, and some rain at times through the week ahead, too. so we've got a few fronts around — one of them producing quite a lot of cloud and outbreaks of light patchy rain over the next few hours

across parts of southern england, wales, too. so a murky start here, some low cloud, fog and drizzle around coasts and hills. very mild in the south to start monday morning, 1a—15 celsius. further north, though, we're looking at temperatures in single figures from the word go under those clearer skies. and we'll keep some sunshine across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. one or two blustery showers in the far northwest. further south across the uk, generally more cloud. outbreaks of rain particularly during monday afternoon, which could be heavy and thundery for parts of southern england, the midlands — lincolnshire for instance, a bit more rain just pushing into perhaps yorkshire, northern parts of wales, as well. but still warm in the south, 22 celsius or so, we're looking at the mid—teens, though, further north. so moving through monday evening, some of that rain could be heavy and thundery across parts of the midlands, perhaps lincolnshire, east anglia for a time. gradually, that will clear away into the early hours of tuesday, and some slightly fresher conditions working their way in. but it will still be another quite mild, muggy night, 13—14 celsius, so we've still got that warm, humid airfirst thing — but it does get swept away, as we see westerly winds developing behind this frontal system on tuesday. so, yes, a bit of a cloudy, damp start perhaps in the southeast. sunny spells and scattered showers from the west, from the word go, and they're

going to push their way eastwards across the uk through the day. so most of the showers during the morning are in the northwest, but they could crop up a little bit further east later on. temperatures 13—19 on tuesday — not as warm as monday, but still above average for the time of year. now, high pressure sits to the south, low pressure moves in from the northwest into the middle of the week. so some rain on wednesday perhaps for northern ireland, scotland, as well. further south, england and wales, i think predominantly dry, perhaps a bit of rain in the north later on in the day. fairly breezy with some of those showers coming through, but some sunshine and temperatures again, about 13 to 19 degrees. but it looks like those temperatures will continue to rise through thursday and friday, especially in the south, and we could see temperatures into the mid—20s as we head on into next weekend. bye for now.
