it must‘ve been a tournament for siya kolisi's family to enjoy that in the stadium.ns been following it at home? rugby is big but there are a lot of other things going on right now. there are so many other sporting events, football is very big. cricket hasn't been doing very well so this rugby when we'll certainly lift the spirits of south africans, particularly the cricketers who have been struggling in test matches against india. more than that, the unemployment rate statistics came out this week and nearly 30%, the highest in 11 years, inequality, poverty, all these things are weighing very heavily on south africans and they've feel that they needed this win to just lift them up and maybejump—start they needed this win to just lift them up and maybe jump—start the economy into the growth levels it requires full stop you will remember we had the xenophobic attacks not that long ago so people do feel a little bit of a relief to celebrate and forget some of the serious challenges this country faces. the tea m challenges this country faces. the team is able to represe

today, captain siya kolisi has become a new symbol of hope and progress in a country still facing hugeges. for years, the news from south africa has been relentlessly bad — corruption, inequality, a country losing its way. does today change that? of course not, but this victory is a reminder of the bigger picture of how much has changed here since the days of racial apartheid. this is, after all, a vibrant, young democracy with a world beating rugby team. andrew harding, bbc news, johannesburg. a bomb has exploded in a town in northern syria occupied by turkish forces, killing at least 13 people. the turkish defence ministry has blamed the kurdish ypg militia group for the attack in a region controlled until last month by the kurdish—led syrian democratic forces. no group has said it carried out the attack in tal abyad, which is close to the turkish border. here's the bbc‘s middle east analyst, alan johnston. the moments after the blast. amid the smoke and the debris they try to take in what has just happened. this was a car bomb that went off near a market. civilians were among the ca

siya kolisi‘s story is well documented. he grew up very poor. kids in south africa. that is exactly how we grew up. in poverty stricken townships in south africa. what they have done now is we understand that there‘s a lot of division the country right now, but if you look at us, we look different, we speak differently, come from different backgrounds but we have one common goal, and if we can do that it can inspire the nation to look towards one thing. i‘m old enough to remember 1995... and obviously hollywood turned it into a film, when nelson mandela, the country‘s first black president, added the webb ellis trophy over on the pitch in south africa after a home world cup. that seemed to just incredible. the story of the rainbow nation and everything else. and yet now they are saying this is bigger, because this is a black captain who has led a team with several black players to the top. what do you think? i definitely think it is on the same scale. when you look in 1995, and where we are in 2019, you look at siya kolisi and the players around

siya kolisi was travelling with the coach rassie erasmus when they arrived in the survival for the airportthat has been the atmosphere throughout the day. south africans came united like never before. helping that this win is not just about the scoreline never before. helping that this win is notjust about the scoreline on the football field but about the future of the country uniting a country that was divided throughout the years by racial segregation. so today the rugby team has arrived back and south africans are feeling incredibly joyous and happy. and i think celebrations will continue for the next few days as well. many thanks. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. a scheme designed to help people aged under forty get on the housing ladder in england has failed to result in a single home being built. the national audit office says 17a—million pounds has been spent on buying land for the starter homes project. polly neate is the chief executive of the housing charity shelter. she says the scheme was the wrong idea in the first place. this scheme was not g

but what a moment for siya kolisi, the team's first black captain to hold aloft that trophy, a symbolst will continue into their disappointing performance. former england scrum half matt dawson, who won the world cup in 2003, says england buckled under the power of the south africans. the leadership team of england has been so good over the quarterfinals and semifinals, but under the immense pressure of the final, against a south african side who were so passionate, so strong and so aggressive on the gain line, england couldn't get the momentum, and those leaders just couldn't position england to score enough points and score the tries. i think england lost the try count 2—0, so they probably were well beaten in that regard as well. earlier i spoke to paul jackson, the curator of the webb ellis rugby football museum. he says england's good run in the tournament bodes well for the game. didn't we do well to get to the final? is a shame we lost it. congratulations to south africa. it will sort so many things out in that country, i'm sure, won't it? the japanese held it beautifully, and

but what a moment for siya kolisi, the teams first black captain to hold aloft that trophy. for england the inquest will continue into their disappointing performance. matt dawson who won the rugby world cup with england in 2003 and was part of the bbc‘s commentary team in yokohama, says there are still reasons to be cheerful. i think we've got to be a little more gentle on england rugby. they had a fantastic tournament. they got to the final and they've played against a team that we thought, they simply cannot lose that game. after beating new zealand in the semifinals, it was therefore england to take. but i think we, the fans, the media, and may be the players and the staffjust underestimated what it was meaning to south africans to be in that final and to be perfectly honest, not only did they win the physical battle but the tactics that south africa deployed yesterday were first class. they played brilliantly. and quite rightly, what we've seen from the england players and manager today, they know they were beaten by a better tea m they know they were beaten by a better
