Thats all i had here on bbc news, now it is time for sports day. Hello, welcome to sprite state, coming up tonight, Gary Southgate says england must deliver with you about qualification at stake. As japan sends scotland home, the house began to believe at that Rugby World Cup and a record breaker as we reflect on two of the weekend marathon achievements. The countdown is on to kick off at 7 25 p m. , we could see england qualify for a euro 2020 with two games despair, enabling the results elsewhere to go their way and then defeat of the Czech Republic on friday, that performance will not be the only thing concerning Gary Southgate, part of the stadium is closed, due to previous racist chance. Joe wilson is there. There has been hold here in sofia that the presence of england with their well known primary players might actually attract a decent crowd for ten nights game. Bulgarian football in terms of england plus plus driving support theyre expecting an excess of 3000 here and we would be watching them in the centre in their normal way, singing their songs, having their drinks with the Police Monitoring the situation. There is no doubt that a lot rests on this match suddenly having experienced a rare defeat in their last qualifying match and england respond . What you gain in resilience from the defeat ofan important gain in resilience from the defeat of an important part of a players career and a persons life and maybe we we re career and a persons life and maybe we were all focusing a lot on next summer we were all focusing a lot on next summerand we were all focusing a lot on next summer and weve always maintained that we have to qualify. It is a test of his tactics and a test of his management because if some england players were lacking confidence, how is their confidence after that defeat . The former england player was always at ease with the ball at his feet but that question of confidence is something he will be monitoring here. This evening. Ive always said you have the ability and drive what you want and also desire, passion, if you havent got confidence forget it. In anyjob really havent got confidence forget it. In any job really if havent got confidence forget it. In anyjob really if you have not that anyjob really if you have not that any confidence you should not be walking across the white line, you can see some of it rubbing off on some of the players and thats how he gets the confidence back into the players. The issue of racism has been a big part of this bill that we know we have seen the banners inside the stadium here the section of the grounds which will be closed off, 5000 feet that a punishment for previous racist behaviour from bulgaria. Now the bulgarian manager has been saying look, there have been many incidents in english football of racist behaviour and Garrett Southgate he would agree with that he has made it clear england has to put it on house in order but the issue of racism however, wherever it happens needs to be tackled and from the football managers point of view as direct southgate would say his job is to prepare his players for anything. He is coming from sophia, a british man has died following an incident there, the Foreign Office saying they are supporting his family. Meanwhile, neither in ireland are paying the Czech Republic in a friendly and attempt to qualify reduced after a late defeat to the netherlands on thursday. Preparation for a possible playoff and hes pleased with what he sees so far. Giving them a 2 0 lead with less than ten minutes until half time stop Northern Ireland can still qualify outright and being away in germany next month. No easy task. Im sure many of you were watching the show down between scotland and japan at the Rugby World Cup. They are japan at the Rugby World Cup. They a re left japan at the Rugby World Cup. They are left to reflect on their early exit with a line up not complete which includes japan. They will be accessing the file out and what that could mean for the future in just a moment but first patrick cast his eye over the teams. If chris white is escape is an event where we could it be more completely threading resell. Japanese inhibition left at home on the streets there were people transformed. The joy at beating scotland to reach a first world cup quarterfinal felt all the martini because of the sorrow the previous day when a0 people were killed by the typhoon. South africa awaits but its helped now turning to expectation injapan and has that changed the dynamic . We got to the quarterfinals and weve got nothing to lose now. No one expects us to wina game to lose now. No one expects us to win a game i think but we believe and we will go out there and play as well as he can. Its a mark of how japan have disrupted the old order but even new zealand they are japan have disrupted the old order but eve to ew zealand they are japan have disrupted the old order but eve to have ealand they are japan have disrupted the old order but eve to have avoided ey are japan have disrupted the old order but eve to have avoided them. Their pleased to have avoided them. Their next opponent is ireland who the all blacks have lost twice in the last three meetings. Not that the irish are talking their chances. They are not back to back world cup winners for no reason, they are there because of their personnel they have and the culture they have and the performances they manage to put together on a regular basis so for us together on a regular basis so for us it would be to a degree a mountain to climb. If ireland face rugby version of mount fuji, whales have found a lower road, they cannot play the all blacks until the final u nless play the all blacks until the final unless they take on a french theme that has hardly impressed so far. All the reward for winning their group. That was massive for us. That was a big goal in the competition, the last time they won was back in 1987 for its a fantastic achievement. Gives a lot of confident in this quarterfinal. England have already travelled further than the last world cup but now its all changed, they have australia in the last days, a fixture where it it starts in the media. Eddiejohnson says the cancellation of the last game means his team has had that the preparation and australias head coachis preparation and australias head coach is not exactly the shy type. He was saying that would be an advantage and that that type of gods we re advantage and that that type of gods were smiling on him, i suppose they better win. The best preparation according to the coach so they better go out there and doing if thats the best possible preparation. Well see how we go. Come the weekend, the sound bites will be background noise, eight teams have worked for four years to win the next three matches. In the land of the rising sun, high noon is near. Inevitably, todd half time today over the future of townsend, his contract runs until 2021. So where did it go wrong . If you the right man scale to lead the team . The questions will be asked theres been a lot of criticism and social media and the press, calling for his head but i think it has taken the tea m forward head but i think it has taken the team forward in the time hes been there in the two and a half years he has been there. And i still believe with a bit of tinkering with new players in there and a bit more youth trusting them, i think tinkering with the game plan as well i know hes trying to put this really fast 100 mph game, the fastest game in the world and at the moment theyre paying far more effectively and accurately than us. But i think hes got to look at that andi but i think hes got to look at that and i do believe hes the right guy to ta ke and i do believe hes the right guy to take us forward. I think we must give him a chance and i think hes got a great brain and typing hes got a great brain and typing hes got some great Young Players and just want the chance to perform on a regular basis. Ireland will miss the rest of the world cup after failing to have his red card against similar overturned. Sent off in the final match for a high tackle, he contested the red card at the disciplinary hearing today, for three weeks and has moved him out the rest of the tournament even if they go to the final. Hes got a8 hours to appeal the decision. There isa hours to appeal the decision. There is a new face at the top of british mens tennis, the new number one is dan evans, replacing kyle edmonds, he has won the first set on the break of service down early in the second. I tennis correspondentjoins me now. A few months after returning from a job and its been an impressive rise in the rankings. Yes, a few months after returning without a ranking, he own fault as he said so many times testing positive for cocaine but its hard when youve been away from the torah. You need to fight your way back, short of matches and it can be quite difficult to pay back matches in the early stages as andy murray is finding out at the moment but he had a very consistent year in particular and he was the runner up in florida in february and he reached the third round of the us open and wimbledon before that and he is deservedly the british number one and kyle edmonds said when he became british number one for the first time i dont feel like the british number one because of course and murray reno has not been able pay as much as you would like. And di maria looming large in the background. I guess the big question is how much by can he go . He says he thinks he can go a lot higher up from a3 in the world at the moment. His career high ranking is a1. You got a chance of surpassing that of at the last few weeks. He talked about if you can reach the quarterfinal of the grandson than anything can happen. He talking really optimistically and hes been in the background at the us open in 2016. I think none of the target for the last three weeks of the season playing stockholm this week than in basil next week and then qualifying for the paris the week after that. If he has a good run he could actually make it into the top 32 in the world and if youre in the top 32 at the end of the season then youre very likely to be seen at the Australian Open injanuary youre very likely to be seen at the Australian Open in january and youre very likely to be seen at the Australian Open injanuary and that makes such a difference to players because they know it be to play in the first couple of rounds. Many thanks and before your time. Still to come on the programme this evening we will be hearing from the former footballer who made the jump from grass to ice i managed to stay on his feet. At the saturdays the pretty grand final, they pay their way into the touring party later this month. Toa to a record breaking weekend for two phenomenal athletes. On saturday, to a record breaking weekend for two phenomenalathletes. On saturday, he became the first person to run a sub to our medicine, the race did not count as an official world record and yesterday bridget as well smashed the record in chicago. And he gets himself compared it to be in the first man on the moon. It was no ordinary marathon, it was the 159 challenge. A peacemaking card trick days show the runners what a two hour pace looks like on the road. Plus a star studded team of rotating pacemaker is an of them olympic champions themselves. The analyst chosen as the ideal location because of its air quality and almost com pletely of its air quality and almost completely flat terrain. He was already the olympic champion and official marathon record holder wa nted official marathon record holder wanted something not just official marathon record holder wanted something notjust anyone could win every four years. And in close perfect conditions he got it. Its been described as the modern day equivalent, one hour 59 minutes and a9 seconds. History made. So how fast exactly is a sub two imagine running 100 metres and 17 seconds, a22 times nonstop. That is each a00 metres in 68 seconds or eight sub 50 minute park runs to back. From a park runs to the world and specifically can you. Candy. The entire population seems to be watching him just that they later, another canyon would make history, more than four and just a day later, another canyon would make history, more than a0,000 miles away 179 marathons la and chicago. 25 year old bridget was attempting to break the understanding marathon record men or to break the understanding marathon record men 01 women to break the understanding marathon record men or women in the postwar era. This time it was an official record that could be broken and it was. Two hours, a0 minutes and four seconds. Not just was. Two hours, a0 minutes and four seconds. Notjust broken but obliterated by 71 seconds. Nobody has come that close. Some of the greats have had to the and have folded in and is quick and thats why its been so long since she set the record. This is an incredibly new benchmark and they think we set in 2003 we might never see this for a long time. Youre right about that. She still young but that today if thats that for 20 years i would not be surprised. Only men finished ahead of bridget. A weekend for the history books and limits to be defined. Amazing stuff. Larry, how much faster candice to go . Thats the big question. I think she can go about 158 and a regular race. I think we could see something near to oui think we could see something near to our one if we kept some of the others together. Bridget blew my mind. Ifigured she others together. Bridget blew my mind. I figured she could others together. Bridget blew my mind. Ifigured she could go others together. Bridget blew my mind. I figured she could go to 1530, two 15a0 and in talking to her manager, frederico he expected to 15 to 16. She had near perfect conditions yesterday. It was amazing. And you just wonder now dont you. If she were to do it again how much she could possibly ta ke again how much she could possibly take off of that. She thinks, she says i want and will run to ten, i think knowing what she knows now with the proper training, i think we could see eight to 13, 20, just look at her other times and look at what guides run for those times. Its mind boggling, we thought they would bea mind boggling, we thought they would be a woman like her who was tried make her several times but i think bridget had a combination of amazing weather. 50 many things have to come good donte to set a record like that. Many thanks indeed for that. Great britain and bryant squad been announced today ahead of their tour to new zealand, this is how it shapes up. There are no praise u nfortu nately shapes up.
