1:37 pm
you see a shift in the top teams. they are not the same. some margins become critical. and as you already said, the state of the team, to go through some moments, difficult ones, is absolutely key. quinton de kock had his sights set on becoming only the 11th man to score 200 or more in one—day international cricket. despite falling short, he's put south africa in a strong position in their latest world cup game against bangladesh. despite being 35—2 early on, de kock scored his third century in five world cup games, then reaching 150 with one of the seven sixes he struck in his innings. the opener was eventually out for 17h, as south africa piled on the runs, much as they did in beating england in their last game, when heinrich klaasen scored a quickfire century. this time he added 90 as south africa made 382—5 in their 50 overs. they have recorded the highest three totals in the world cup so far. meanwhile, former england batter jonathan trott says the current england side do have the players
1:38 pm
to turn around their disappointing start to the defence of their world cup trophy. they have lost three of their four games so far, with qualification for the semifinals hanging by a thread. trott is now the head coach of an afghanistan side that have overtaken england in the standings after that surprising victory over pakistan yesterday. it's the first time they've managed two victories in a tournament, but trott insists they won't be getting carried away. i don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves, know how quickly cricket can turn, the sport can turn on people and on a side, so i am just enjoying today i'm looking forward to sri lanka which is in a few days. we have a few days off, a few practices, so to get the players ready for that, then we have holland, which is another tough game after that, so plenty of cricket to look forward to. england certainly have the players to bounce back.
1:39 pm
they won the world cup in 2019 after having lost a few games. they have played against some decent sides! let's see after a couple more games for england r. let's see after a couple more games for england r. world rugby has announced a new competition starting in 2026 as part of a "significant overhaul" of the men's international calendar. as the sport prepares for its world cup final between south africa and new zealand on saturday, the governing body has announced a series of changes, including its version of the nations league concept involving a top division of 12 teams, which will attempt to synchronise matches that have been played in the autumn and summer. world rugby have also decided to expand the next world cup froom 20 to 2a teams. before we go, just time to tell you that voting for the bbc women's footballer of the year 2023 is now open. the five contenders for the bbc world service accolade were chosen by a panel of experts including coaches, players, administrators and journalists.

you're watching bbc news. i'm catherine byaruhanga. let's get more on the news in the last half—an—hour that the government has confirmed plans to end the use of 50 hotels to house migrants byjanuary. in march, the bbc learned around 400 hotels were being used to house record numbers of asylum—seekers. the announcement was made in the house of commons by the immigration minister, robertjenrick. he said the practice of using hotels must stop. he said the practice of using hotels must sto -. , . must stop. ever since the prime minister, the _ must stop. ever since the prime minister, the home _ must stop. ever since the prime minister, the home secretary i must stop. ever since the prime i minister, the home secretary and i assumed office a year ago, we have made it clear that this was completely unacceptable and must enter soon as practical. these hotel should be assets for their local

1:45 pm
what is interesting is the root cause of this is the backlog of people waiting for their asylum claims to be processed. back in december, rishi sunak pledged to clear the so—called legacy backlog, people who had made claims before june 2022 by the end of this year. progress has been made on that, which robertjenrick touched on today. the legacy backlog has come down. the government has doubled the number of caseworkers processing claims although labour have argued that a thousand more caseworkers would be needed. the total backlog, so notjust the claims made on four june 2022, but the total backlog of people waiting for their claims to be processed still remain stuck and pretty high. this is something that labour raised in the house of commons today, as well. that is largely due to people still arriving in high numbers. again, the government has cut the rates of
