following on a brisk rash of showers following on a brisk wind. gales and severe gales in the far north—east of scotland. holding up far north—east of scotland. holding up the temperatures but a touch of frost in the countryside, hopefully enough breeze to stop the mist and fog but that is coming. this is that cold wind, to show you where it comes from, right the way down from the arctic. we are mentioning is snow in showers over mountains in the north in the forecast but plenty of sunshine as we got off to a fine start on saturday morning, but remaining windy. only easing later in the day. most showers pestering northern areas but some will filter through the south and east later in the day. and the temperatures particularly in the south, significantly below what we have had this week and feeling colder in the wind. a shock to the system. tomorrow evening and overnight, as high pressure builds in further it looks like we will see a more widespread ground frost, the first widely cold night of the autumn. a chilly start on sunday, could be mist and fog around as well to contend with but again perhaps a bit

more clout for scotland and showers, perhaps fewer showers elsewhere. slightly less windy on sunday but temperatures a bit lower again. autumn has arrived. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight. hello and welcome to sportsday. turning paris green in the face of an all—black challenge. ireland hope their home from home takes them to a first world cup semifinal. it was one, then the other, then to get there, but owen farrell is in, george ford is out for england against fiji.

a different read will take over the velodrome before england, with wheels ready to open quarterfinal weekend. —— wales. also our new zealand team on the top four, with new zealand three from three in the cricket world cup. hello again. three home nations, three former champions and a few fairytales needing an ending. that's the line—up for the rugby world cup quarterfinal weekend, one that ends with the hosts and the holders, france against south africa, and before that wales, ireland and england all hoping to reach the last four. expectations are high for wales against argentina and england, who play fiji, while for world

number one side, ireland, a match against country that has spent more time at the top of the world rankings than anyone els — the all blacks. to els — the all blacks. get to that point... this weekt is to get to that point... this weekend is the biggest weekend i've ever played, that did the same for everyone. i played, that did the same for everyone-— played, that did the same for eve one. , everyone. i don't my last day as a welsh rugby _ everyone. i don't my last day as a welsh rugby player— everyone. i don't my last day as a welsh rugby player to _ everyone. i don't my last day as a welsh rugby player to be - everyone. i don't my last day as a welsh rugby player to be losing . everyone. i don't my last day as a welsh rugby player to be losing a| welsh rugby player to be losing a quarterfinal. the welsh rugby player to be losing a quarterfinal-— quarterfinal. the boys want to be involved in _ quarterfinal. the boys want to be involved in big _ quarterfinal. the boys want to be involved in big games _ quarterfinal. the boys want to be involved in big games and - quarterfinal. the boys want to be involved in big games and this i quarterfinal. the boys want to be involved in big games and this is| involved in big games and this is not good — involved in big games and this is not good rugby _ involved in big games and this is not good rugby-— involved in big games and this is not good rugby. involved in big games and this is not aood ru:b .~ ~ , not good rugby. when we were kids we didn't dream — not good rugby. when we were kids we didn't dream of— not good rugby. when we were kids we didn't dream of ireland _ not good rugby. when we were kids we didn't dream of ireland winning - not good rugby. when we were kids we didn't dream of ireland winning the - didn't dream of ireland winning the world cup, but we have put ourselves in a position now to do that. iwhen in a position now to do that. when the start in a position now to do that. when they start playing _ in a position now to do that. when they start playing with _ in a position now to do that. when they start playing with confidence and we _ they start playing with confidence and we start having momentum, that is when _ and we start having momentum, that is when we _ and we start having momentum, that is when we are at their most dangerous and we are looking that way at _ dangerous and we are looking that way at the — dangerous and we are looking that way at the moment. we dangerous and we are looking that way at the moment.— dangerous and we are looking that way at the moment. we are preparing the best we can. _ way at the moment. we are preparing the best we can, and _ way at the moment. we are preparing the best we can, and we _ way at the moment. we are preparing the best we can, and we are - the best we can, and we are preparing _ the best we can, and we are preparing to _ the best we can, and we are preparing to give _ the best we can, and we are preparing to give the - the best we can, and we are preparing to give the best . the best we can, and we are| preparing to give the best of ourselves— preparing to give the best of ourselves on— preparing to give the best of ourselves on sunday. - preparing to give the best of ourselves on sunday. the i preparing to give the best of ourselves on sunday. the favourites are the ones — ourselves on sunday. the favourites

johnny sexton, has said he will retire after this tournament, so we are in knockout rugby territory where every match could be his last. when it comes to the clash, ireland have been well tested in this world cup with significant victories over both scotland and south africa. new zealand haven't been tested since that opening night loss to france. they have taken on the likes of italy, uruguay, namibia and racked up italy, uruguay, namibia and racked up huge scorelines, but they haven't been the kind of opposition that will be in front of them when they take on ireland. they are a little bit unproven in their last few performances. he would say ireland are the favourites, but that is the moniker they are happy to carry. it is baffling to think that ireland have never reached the semifinals before. , , j~ ., , before. this is the bia-final they have made _ before. this is the bia-final they have made at — before. this is the bia-final they have made at the _ before. this is the bia-final they have made at the rugby - before. this is the bia-final they have made at the rugby world . before. this is the bia-final they l have made at the rugby world cup before. this is the bia-final they i have made at the rugby world cup and they have lost every single one. a lot of those scorelines are big

scorelines, as well. it is something that andy farrell has really tried to address since he has come in, about and for this ireland team about and for this ireland team about how they can go on to achieve this and not have any mental baggage going into this match, so they can play freely without the demons, as they have been called, in the build—up. they have been called, in the build-up— they have been called, in the build-u. ~ ., build-up. wife ireland -- while ireland had _ build-up. wife ireland -- while ireland had made _ build-up. wife ireland -- while ireland had made it _ build-up. wife ireland -- while ireland had made it a - build-up. wife ireland -- while ireland had made it a home i build-up. wife ireland -- while ireland had made it a home forj build-up. wife ireland -- while i ireland had made it a home for home in paris, it is the real home of france and they have antoine dupont backin france and they have antoine dupont back in the starting 15. yes. france and they have antoine dupont back in the starting 15.— back in the starting 15. yes, of course. back in the starting 15. yes, of course- it _ back in the starting 15. yes, of course- it is — back in the starting 15. yes, of course. it is nearly _ back in the starting 15. yes, of course. it is nearly three i back in the starting 15. yes, of| course. it is nearly three weeks back in the starting 15. yes, of i course. it is nearly three weeks ago that he fractured his cheekbone. he was quickly taken off the pitch. he had surgery on it. earlier this week he was back in training. we were told that ultimately it will be his decision whether he was put up for selection and he said in his press conference, he sat there today is the france captain, to say i am absolutely fine, both when it comes

to physically and mentally to play this match. it wasn't what we would describe as a brain injury that he suffered, it was a bone injury. i think a lot of this is down to how he feels as he moves around the pitch himself. he says he is ready for it. i'm sure the whole of france has breathed a huge sigh of relief, but should anything happen to him they do have a player on the bench and played with aplomb in their final pool match against italy, so they do have a very decent standing, but when it comes to antoine dupont he has epitomised this world cup and everyone is delighted he will be back. like paris, marseille will host two quarterfinals, but unlike the capital, the two on the south coast of france will both involve home nations — wales tomorrow before england on sunday. our correspondent andy swiss is there for us. it isa it is a big game, so for england in

particular, much interest in who would be selected, but particularly this because of the questions around the fly—half. this because of the questions around the fly-half-_ the fly-half. that's rights. there had been reports _ the fly-half. that's rights. there had been reports all— the fly-half. that's rights. there had been reports all week- the fly-half. that's rights. there had been reports all week that l the fly-half. that's rights. there i had been reports all week that steve borthwick was going to make some interesting selection calls, and he has. the big news is that owen farrell starts at fly—half, which means there is no place in the starting 15 for george ford, who was so impressive for england in their opening game against argentina when owen farrell was suspended. in contract length both of them alongside each other in their last game against samoa. it's fair to say it didn't work out, so owen farrell will start at fly—half, george ford will start at fly—half, george ford will start at fly—half, george ford will start on the bench. the other big bit of news is that marcus smith will start at fullback in place of freddie stewart. he has been one of the best players for england in

recent years, so that again is a big, big call, but marcus smith perhaps offers a few more attacking options from fullback. he has been impressive when he has come on in this tournament. england felt obviously in the wake of that disappointing performance against samoa that they had to make some changes and they have. that samoa that they had to make some changes and they have.— changes and they have. that is sunda , changes and they have. that is sunday. but — changes and they have. that is sunday. but a _ changes and they have. that is sunday, but a day _ changes and they have. that is sunday, but a day prior - changes and they have. that is sunday, but a day prior it i changes and they have. that is sunday, but a day prior it is i changes and they have. that is. sunday, but a day prior it is well against argentina. we also made it this far in five out of the last six world cups. this far in five out of the last six world cops-— world cups. wheels up against araentina world cups. wheels up against argentina here _ world cups. wheels up against argentina here tomorrow- world cups. wheels up against i argentina here tomorrow afternoon. already a lot of wales fans here have arrived in marseille. the ones we have been speaking to are in pretty confident mood, perhaps that is not a surprise because they have been impressive at this world cup so

far. fourwins been impressive at this world cup so far. four wins out of four. when you bearin far. four wins out of four. when you bear in mind the doom and gloom that has surrounded welsh rugby for so much of this year, that is no mean feat. they are pretty much at full—strength tomorrow. the one bit of bad news is that they won't have their number eights, jelly paypal a try, he has broken his arm and is out for the rest of the tournament. but they do have dan biggar back at fly—half. he has recovered from the injury he picked up against australia. and they have their head coach, warren gatland. he is a man who knows how to get through these high—pressure situations. each of wales to the semifinals in 2011 and 2019, and will be confident he can do it again tomorrow. you're watching sportsday live from the bbc sport centre. still to come, ahead of tomorrow's super league grand final, we hear from one of the game's greats as he prepares

for his last ever match. i have one things before, individually and as a team, but i won't get any other chance. this is my final chance. it means it is the biggest game of my career. it means it is the biggest game of my career. england's friendly against australia at wembley tonight will take place amid a mixed response to the football association's decision about how to mark the events in israel and gaza at the match. a rabbi working on an fa faith group has resigned, saying he was "profoundly disappointed" that the governing body decided not to have a specific tribute to the victims of the hamas attacks in israel. players wearing black armbands and there will be a period of silence, which the fa say will "remember the innocent victims of the devastating events in israel and palestine". the england manager has defended that decision. the fa will have consulted with everybody they possibly can and they will have tried to make the best decision with good intentions.

clearly, whatever decision they came to would have been criticised in one way or another, so i recognise how difficult it is for them. i wasn't involved in those discussions. they went on for a long time, i know, but they have take the stance i —— they have, and we will get on with that. dan rowan is beside me. rabbi alex goldberg has resigned. he dan rowan is beside me. rabbi alex goldberg has resigned.— goldberg has resigned. he had a number of— goldberg has resigned. he had a number of complaints _ goldberg has resigned. he had a number of complaints that i goldberg has resigned. he had a number of complaints that he i goldberg has resigned. he had a. number of complaints that he laid out in his resignation letter that he sent to the fa chief executive earlier. principally, he said that he was unhappy that there hadn't been as specific tribute to the victims of the hamas attacks on israel this week. he said the decision by the fa is not to like the wembley arch up in the colours of the israeli flag will have caused upset among members of the jewish upset among members of thejewish community. he also criticised upset among members of the jewish

community. he also criticised the decision to ban israeli and palestinian flags from being brought inside wembley stadium for that friendly against australia, and their qualifier against italy on tuesday. he said he hadn't been consulted over these decisions. there has been criticism building this week in some quarters over the fa's first you had david bernstein saying he wanted the wembley arch let up in the colours of the israeli flag. last night, the secretary of state for media, culture and sport said that she was disappointed when the fa announced that they were taking a more neutral stance and it would be the wearing of black arm bands but the players and also that period of silence paying tribute to the innocent victims in both israel and in gaza. we spoke to the rabbi earlier on and this is what he had to say. earlier on and this is what he had to sa . , , ., , earlier on and this is what he had to sa . , , . , ., earlier on and this is what he had tosa. , ., .,~ earlier on and this is what he had tosa. , ., m ., to say. just as we have marked other atrocities around _ to say. just as we have marked other atrocities around the _ to say. just as we have marked other atrocities around the world, - to say. just as we have marked other atrocities around the world, whether| atrocities around the world, whether it be 9/11— atrocities around the world, whether it be 9/11 or — atrocities around the world, whether it be 9/11 or the parish shootings,

is that they were wary of being seen, being perceived to take sides in a long—standing and complicated wider middle eastern disputes and conflicts. that explains why they chose the words that they did in that statement and chose not to like the wembley arch up in the way that some had requested it to be done. they factored in the wishes of the australia team. they are mindful of the fact that australia next month play palestine in a world cup qualifier. from what i understand it felt that the australians wanted a more neutral stance to be taken. they have taken advice, they say, and have thought long and hard about exactly what they should do and they also feel, i think it is fair to say, that their stance is consistent with that taken by other sports governing bodies. we saw today that the fifa president wrote to the

israeli and palestinian football association is expressing his great sympathy for victims on both sides. they feel, i think that it is unfair that they might be singled out for criticism. ., ., that they might be singled out for criticism. ., ~ , ., the international olympic committee have recommended five new sports to be part of the olympics, which will now go to a vote. they include flag football, baseball and softball, squash, lacrosse and cricket, the last of which ioc president thomas bach says can help the olympics reach a new audience. it isa it is a great opportunity to engage with a new athletes and the fan community. we see the growing popularity of cricket and in particular the t20 format. now the world cup, a huge success already,

so we are looking forward to welcome the worldplayers in cricket to perform in the us.— the worldplayers in cricket to perform in the us. new zealand cruised to _ perform in the us. new zealand cruised to an _ perform in the us. new zealand cruised to an eight _ perform in the us. new zealand cruised to an eight wicket i perform in the us. new zealand cruised to an eight wicket win i perform in the us. new zealand i cruised to an eight wicket win over bangladesh, making it three from three at the world cup. bangladesh only managed 245—9. in response, kane williamson was forced to retire hurt after getting struck on the thumb in his first match since recovering from knee surgery. he and daryl mitchell —— daryl mitchell —— daryl mitchell —— daryl mitchell —— daryl mitchell —— daryl mitchell —— daryl mitchell put on a half—century stand. india and pakistan only play each other in global events like the world cup. india's because stadium will host a booth tomorrow. the rivalry is rooted in the difficult

political situation. for members of the squad itself, they were only guaranteed visas 48 hours before they left for their first trip to they left for their first trip to the country in seven years. this is a match that is being played in mahendra modi stadium and it is one of the biggest cricket rivalries and one of the greatest sporting rivalries, india versus pakistan. it was an incredible feat to get this match here. there was a lot of toing and froing before anything happened and froing before anything happened and now that the match is happening in the stadium it is really an incredible moment. the stadium can hold 130,000 fans, most of which will be fans of the indian cricket team, so really an immense stage to be playing at the world cup. and a huge logistical effort not only getting visas to the pakistan team, but also getting all those

130,000 people inside that stadium with a minimum of fuss, but also security threats.— security threats. absolutely. i think there — security threats. absolutely. i think there has _ security threats. absolutely. i think there has been - security threats. absolutely. i think there has been some i security threats. absolutely. i i think there has been some criticism of the way the ticket sales have been going on in generalfor the cricket world cup and even more specifically for this game. in general we have seen that attendance for some of these matches has been really quite low. you see a lot of empty stands. when it comes to this particular match they only set the date for at 100 days ago. they only started selling tickets about a month or two in advance. now they are saying they're going to release another few thousand tickets for this game. that only happens very recently. there's been a lot of criticism about how difficult it has been to get tickets for this match. in terms of security, there will be a lot of security here. we have seen security personnel walking around the perimeter and making their

arrangements. because this is such a big game at a big rivalry you have a lot of bollywood stars in attendance, you can expect a lot of politicians will be in but who won't be a lots of pakistani fans because many of those visas came through. as far as the match between these two great rivals, the record that india has over pakistan at this tournament is extraordinary, pakistan have never beaten india. given the size and the intimidating atmosphere the indian fans will create, to many of the indian fans doubt it will be 8—0 at the end of saturday? i doubt it will be 8-0 at the end of saturda ? ,.,, ., , ., ., saturday? i posed that question to both captains- _ saturday? i posed that question to both captains. when _ saturday? i posed that question to both captains. when i _ saturday? i posed that question to both captains. when i asked i saturday? i posed that question to both captains. when i asked will. both captains. when i asked will home be an advantage or disadvantage given it will be a rocket stadium full of nothing but indian cricket fans, given their track record playing against pakistan and given

their track record and what is expected of them throughout this cricket world cup, for them, they took it in their stride and said it will come down to playing the crickets and just how well they play the game. for not part, they said they said they had played in big stadiums before, played on the world stage before. yes, this is a big atmosphere, but again it comes down to how well you play the game. time of some of the day's other headlines now and after a 20—year career that included more test runs for england than anyone else, alastair cook has retired from cricket. the former captain has carried on playing for essex since quitting the intenrational game five years ago and says, "this is the right time for this part of my life to come to an end." dina asher smith has spent nearly two decades with the same coach, but announced today she's splitting withjohn blackie. the 2019 200—metre world champion isjoining up with the american edrick floreal ahead of next summer's olympics. newcastle thunder have pulled out of the 2024 club rugby union season

rugby codes are much tomorrow, because that is where you can hear, on five live, the full commentary of all four of the rugby world cup quarterfinals. saturday, saturday and sunday, as well, ireland, and england all temp two reach the last fourin england all temp two reach the last four in france. it is a mouthwatering prospect for all of those nations. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello there, good evening. well, friday was another day of contrasts across the uk, with outbreaks of rain across much of the southern half of england and wales. still the mild air lingering here before the front cleared south—eastwards. further north, lots of blue sky and sunshine, and it felt deceptively chilly despite the sunshine, too. it was blustery with a brisk north—westerly wind. over the weekend, we're all coming into that colder—feeling air, so quite a dramatic drop in temperatures. still windy, but lots of autumn

sunshine around, too. now, here's our cold front. it's clearing out into the near continent overnight tonight, taking the heavy rain with it. the mild air being swept away, replaced by all of this cold air pushing down from the north—west marked in the blue tones here. temperatures will be dropping below the seasonal average this time. so, tonight, then, lots of clear skies developing. the winds lightening towards the south. still some showers out towards the north and the west. the winds strengthening, though, across northern scotland. and this is how we'll start off saturday morning, on a much colder note, especially for england and wales, than we've been used to of late. on saturday morning, well, there will be low pressure centred across scandinavia, some strong gusty winds out towards the aberdeenshire coast, possibly gales, even severe gales. also across the northern isles, too. elsewhere, a brisk northowesterly wind just blowing these showers further southwards and eastwards, even across southern england perhaps for a time, but most frequent for the north and the west. possibly wintry over the hills of scotland and wales. the further east you are, the drier your day is likely to be. but there will be a lot of sunshine

around, but it's not really helping to lift the temperatures too much, 8—11; celsius. it's going to be cold on saturday night into sunday. the winds will lighten. there'll be lots of clear skies around. there will be a frost for many northern areas. i think temperatures here dropping below freezing, possibly even a ground frost for many rural spots in the southern half of the uk as well. so a cold, possibly a frosty start to the day on sunday. now, on sunday, there will be some cloud across northern scotland and some showers here, so possibly a little milder. elsewhere dry, lots of sunshine. temperatures numerically will be lower on sunday, peaking only between 9—12 degrees celsius, but because there won't be quite so much added wind chill, it will probably feel a little more pleasant. as we head into the start of next week, high pressure builds in. it's dry and it's settled as you can see from our outlook for our capital cities. bye— bye.
