we find out how much this was worth to the only runner in the 1:50 at exeter. look down, justjump — how aiden heslop became the best at falling off the edge of a cliff, very gracefully. hello again. welcome along this friday evening. it is time for the next chapter in the captivating rivalry between two of the best in rugby union. ireland are the world's number one team, based partly on their triumphs over tonight's opponents, the all blacks, in recent years. a breakthrough win in chicago, then a historic series victory in new zealand in 2022 — but in amongst those high points, the defeats that have ended ireland's last two world cup bids, including a year ago, agonisingly, in paris. the current team insist that pain won't be soothed tonight. they'll have to wait until 2027 and the next tournament for that, but the stakes are always high for a meeting with the all blacks. stephen watson is at the aviva stadium. this is one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures in world rugby. it took 111 years to be new zealand for the first time ever. that was just eight ye

, they are going to sea journey time is extended between salisbury and exeter, and also between bournemouthouth, and they say this disruption could last into monday, so it won'tjust be today that there are issues. it could well be that public transport services are having problems into monday. you also mentioned ireland, who saw pictures from county donegal because of storm bert went through the republic of ireland before it hit parts of the uk. 60,000 homes are without power in the republic of ireland. county donegal has been the worst hit, around 12,000 people, particularly their without electricity, and you can see the amount of water they've had around there. they had a red warning issued for heavy rain in west cork and west galway, that is what has caused this flooding in the republic of ireland. in northern ireland, there have also been issues. we heard one of the gritters actually got stuck. we are also hearing real lanes between belfast and antrim and newry and portadown are closed because of the flooding —— the rail lines. the message to anyone who is going out is to think again, p

they could have to stop them because a number of lines are flooded. down in devon the line between exeterlymouth regularly gets flooded and that has happened again, meaning they can't get any trains done that way. some of the smaller branch lines in devon and cornwall police are also having problems, for example the one that runs from exmouth down to barnstable. the line from crediton to okehampton is not running today. the advice is if you are thinking about travelling by train from london down into south wales worth the south—west you really shouldn't do it today because there are unlikely to be many, if any, services running. the fact that the sun is out does not mean the sun is out does not mean the impact of the flooding over the impact of the flooding over the last two days isn't still being felt both by the residents here, who are still having to clear up and talks —— talk amongst themselves about what to do and why there aren't one enough warnings. on the train services, bbc radio wales was saying there were a number of roads still closed in the area because of the flooding and al

at shrewsbury and wrexham general and in devon the line between exeter and oak 0kehampton has been closedith the train services across the country. storm bert first hit the republic of ireland, and i could show you some pictures from donegal where there has been serious flooding there. from storm bert. we know that around 60,000 homes in the republic of ireland are without power after the storm struck around 12,000 in that particular area of county donegal. it's completely flooded, as you can see. we move into northern ireland now, where there has also been flooding. there is a drone shot of some of the flooding there. our reporter lindsay lima is in belfast and she updated us on the condition there. storm bert has caused some significant disruption across northern ireland. we currently have around 3500 homes without power and as i heard you mention there, we have some train lines out of operation because of flooding. now here in dundonald where i am, which is just on the outskirts of east belfast, we have some residents out of their home because their street has been flooded overnight, h

south—west railway is not running services past exeter.ansport is to check before you travel. now we have had the snow in scotland, as we were mentioning, there was an amber warning for the snow. that has within the past few minute been downgraded to a yellow alert. but we have seen a lot of disruption around edinburgh and indeed lothian buses, which is the biggest municipal bus operator in the country, has had to suspend all of the services around edinburgh because of the conditions there. the issue going forward now will be the flooding, the fact that the temperatures are rising will mean that that snow will melt, it will head into the rivers and then that will come down. so there are flood warnings in force in scotland, in wales and in parts of england. so although there snow stopping, we are now seeing the impact of storm bert in terms of the flooding and that will continue into tomorrow. so the advice is to check on the bbc weather app or website for the very latest where you live.— or website for the very latest where you live. thank
