Coming up at 9 15 how hundreds of thousands of dangerous tumble dryers could still be posing a fire risk in uk homes. And in sport, Warren Gatland ends his 12 year reign as wales head coach this morning, in their third place play off match against new zealand in the Rugby World Cup. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at nine. Nigel farage has called on the conservatives to form an election pact with his brexit party. Ahead of the partys official general election launch, mr farage said the two parties need to form an alliance, but refused to comment on speculation that his party would field fewer candidates, to give borisjohnson a better chance of winning the election on december 12th. Lets get the latest from our political correspondent, jonathan blake. Good morning to you. A really interesting intervention from nigel farage as we wait for the Brexit Party Campaign launch this morning, a man without any mps but could play a man without any mps but could play a significant role in this election. The question is whether conservatives continue to turn down his offer . I think they probably well. So far, the conservative party and Boris Johnson himself well. So far, the conservative party and borisjohnson himself has ruled out any electoral pact between the tories and the brexit party. They make the argument with the deal on the table borisjohnson has negotiated with the eu, the conservatives are in the best place to deliver on the results of the referendum in 2016 and that a vote for the brexit party, in the conservatives eyes, is doing nothing but helping Jeremy Corbyn into downing street. We will hear arguments against that from nigel farage later this morning when he launches the brexit partys campaign for the general election this year. There has been a debate going on within the party about what the strategy should be. Should they field hundreds of candidates all over the uk, with the aim of making a dents in the conservative party plasma majority in certain seats and eating into their vote, making the argument Boris Johnson does eating into their vote, making the argument borisjohnson does not brexit deal is an in Nigel Farages eyes a ny brexit deal is an in Nigel Farages eyes any kind of acceptable former brexit . 0r target their efforts much more closely, in several probably largely labour seats, which voted overwhelmingly to leave but where the sitting mp was in favour of remain. We will find out more details about the partys strategy later this morning to stop nigel farage couldnt later this morning to stop nigel fa rage couldnt have later this morning to stop nigel farage couldnt have hoped for a better start than donald trump being interviewed on his lbc programme last night, suggesting Boris Johnsons deal isnt all its cracked up to be. That will play into Nigel Farages arguments about what he sees as the weaknesses in that deal. Mr trump said it might you limit the uks ability to trade with the us in future. And the housing secretary Robert Jenrick gave his answer to that this morning, saying there are discussions already going on between the uk in the us on a future trade deal and rejected any kind of electoral pact between the tories and the brexit party. Were not interested in doing any pacts with the brexit party, or, indeed, with anybody else. We are in this to win it and we know that only a vote for the conservative party will deliver brexit. Only a vote for the conservative party will protect the union, so we dont have two referendums next year, causing the end of brexit and, potentially, the union. Ultimately, its only a vote for Boris Johnson that will stop Jeremy Corbyn walking up downing street on friday 13th december. So, those are our messages, thats what well be fighting this election on and were fighting it as the conservative and unionist party, not in any pact or deal with other parties. Pretty unequivocal there. President trump also had plenty to say about Jeremy Corbyn, saying he would be bad for the uk. Also rejecting mr corbyns claimed that American Companies would be able to profit at tax payers expense, with the nhs pa rt tax payers expense, with the nhs part of any future uk, us deal. That was rejected this morning by the Shadow International trade secretary, barry gardiner, who said its no surprise President Trump had some critical words forJeremy Corbyn because the two leaders are politically poles apart. I dont think its ever going to be the case that Jeremy Corbyn and donald trump are going to be holding hands, walking down around the rose garden thats not going to happen. But he does need to have a strong relationship, doesnt he, thats the job . They are leaders with very different visions. President trumps vision is for america first. He wants a trade deal with the uk, in which the uk is very much the inferior partner, having to take the terms that donald trump wants to set. Lets pick up on all of that with my guess, the conservative backbencher nigel evans. Mr evans, you are a brexiteers, a bit awkward for the Prime Minister to have donald trump criticising his brexit deal . Well, i think there must be a misunderstanding from donald trump. Im vice chairof misunderstanding from donald trump. Im vice chair of the International Trade select committee and we only had this week that if we are in a customs union, then clearly we would be outsourcing our trade deal with the United States of america with the United States of america with the eu. And there would be real problems there. We want to be out of the customs union, out of the Single Market and we will have the ability to fashion our own trade deal. Clearly, weve already stated we wont lower our Environmental Standards or other standards that are already high in this country. So any goods, whether america or other parts of the world, will have to reach those standards. But we will be able to do a trade deal. President trump says it would be a goodidea President Trump says it would be a good idea for the conservatives and brexit party to Work Together in this election, is that helpful for you . I think there again he probably underestimates the strength of Boris Johnson. I called boris the heineken politician. He refreshes parts of the country that other politicians simply cannot reach. Sol the country that other politicians simply cannot reach. So i think there is a different ball game going on now with boris. Boris managed to reopen the withdrawal agreement, he brought back a trade deal and i think that boris will be able to reach parts of the country where they have been traditionally labour strongholds. So perhaps in the past we we re strongholds. So perhaps in the past we were held by the conservative party but have been held by the tories for over a decade. I think the boris factor will hit hard home there, where they voted leave in those seats have now had a labour memberof those seats have now had a labour member of parliament who tried to derail as leaving the European Union. In fact, achieved stopping us leaving the European Union yesterday. I believe they will start to look at the conservative party as being the only credible party at this election that will be able to deliver brexit on time now, on the sist deliver brexit on time now, on the 315t of january. Deliver brexit on time now, on the 31st of january. President trump is unconventional in many ways and its rather unusual for a unconventional in many ways and its rather unusualfor a us unconventional in many ways and its rather unusual for a us president unconventional in many ways and its rather unusualfor a us president to intervene in the early stages of an Election Campaign like this. You have to admit, it does undermine the Prime Minister, this is supposed to be our closest ally and here you have the president saying the brexit deal he had struck could cause problems for the two countries in the future . Donald trump is donald trump and he waded in as well with his view on Jeremy Corbyn, how dangerousjeremy his view on Jeremy Corbyn, how dangerous Jeremy Corbyn would be if he got the keys to number ten. I agree with donald trump on that. The fa ct agree with donald trump on that. The fact is, the voters of this country are not going to be listening, whether it is donald trump or other World Leaders. They will be focusing on what will impact on them after the next election, who goes into numberten on the next election, who goes into number ten on friday the the 13th of december. Jeremy corbyn or Boris Johnson, they will focus on that, not on what other World Leaders are saying. Thank you for your thoughts, nigel evans. The Brexit Party Campaign launch will be happening in the next couple of hours, when we will find out more about their strategy in the weeks ahead, which could have an impact on the fortunes of not just their could have an impact on the fortunes of notjust their party but particularly the conservatives and labour across the uk when the vote happens on december the 12th. Jonathan, thank you very much for that. Its just under six weeks until the general election and if youre unsure how to register to vote, you can find out how by visiting our website at bbc. Co. Uk news or on the bbc news app. The Rugby World Cup final between england and south africa is almost upon us. England fans are hoping that their team can lift the trophy once again for the First Time Since 2003. My colleaguejohn maguire is in harpenden in hertfordshire, where four of the england squad went to school. John, im sure its quite not possible to find the words to explain the excitement there. Why is that school so good at producing star rugby players . You are absolutely right. It is a rugby factory. They have done so well. Four players, that is three in the starting line up tomorrow and another one, jack singleton, who is in the squad. They take their rugby very seriously here. We will find a bit more about it. It is half term, its a Co Educational state school, they drag the kids and from half ten. They have taken these pictures down from the wall, they sit proudly outside the sports hall and shows you the boys, 0wen farrell, george ford, maro itoje and jack singleton. Also englands lacrosse captain. There is a real recipe for success here. There has to be. For them to have produced so many great players damn, the head of the development here, of pe, what is the secret of the success . I didntjust let our by the success . I didntjust let our Rugby Programme is very extensive. Boys when they come here, they play, whether it is mass participation or elite level and there is a rugby team for everybody. Everybody gets to experience it, whatever level they want to play. Will pope the current captain of the first 15 at the school, none of those boys were keptin the school, none of those boys were kept in here so we reckon you are better than they were aware are you of what they have achieved and the legacy they have left at the school . Massively, the massively, the fact the school have four World Cup Finalists representing us is great. Everyone looks up to the man is inspired by them and we have that connection. Everyone is really aware of what they have achieved. You are doing an incredible job of what they have achieved. You are doing an incrediblejob here in the department. What about the school as a whole . Does it cross over into success a whole . Does it cross over into success in the rest of the school does the rest of the school, that success does the rest of the school, that success bleed into the rugby teams . I think success bleed into the rugby teams . Ithink were success bleed into the rugby teams . I think were very lucky in how we are supported as a Rugby Programme by the rest of the school. Our health system, if you asked the boys, they were safe house rugby day is one of the biggest days of the school calendar. 0ur Leadership Group of our school really support us. Group of our school really support us. Myself, in terms of what were trying to do and how we try to use by trying to do and how we try to use rugby as a vehicle for discipline and respect. Ithink rugby as a vehicle for discipline and respect. I think there are lots of lessons that the boys can learn in the classroom that they can transfer into the rugby pitch and vice versa. Brilliant, thank you very much, gentlemen. Enjoy the game tomorrow and all the best of the old boys who came here to st georges, especially those players who will be lining up in the starting 15. We will leave you with a scrum. Boys, scrum time. Crouch, bind, set. Look at that that is just the under 13s. Back to you in the studio. We know what they will be doing tomorrow morning thank you much, john. And ahead of saturdays final, wales and new zealand have just started their match in order to battle it out for third place. 0ur correspondent wyre davies is in toyko, where the game is taking place. Huge excitement there over this match as well. Who do you think is going to win . New zealand. It pains me to say, but wales are on a hiding to nothing, really. They havent been to new zealand for more than 50 years. Wales have several injuries. I think new zealand will be smarting from that massive defeat by england, when england played so well. Talking about scrums, this is the famous scramble crossing in tokyo. This country has really taken to rugby, partly helped by japans amazing success partly helped by japans amazing success themselves on getting to the quarterfinals. There are huge amounts of anticipation ever stop that their players play off is a lwa ys that their players play off is always an afterthought, two of the wells rugby giants but the tension and excitement ahead of the england and excitement ahead of the england and south africa match tomorrow is palpable. Its been a really successful tournament. More than 500,000 visitors here to japan to watch the rugby. Again, the home team, they beat ireland and scotland. There were a few upsets along the way, notably the typhoon which interrupted one we cans play and lead to the deaths of 70 people. But i think the first Rugby World Cup in asia has been a huge success. There is a lot of anticipation ahead of the final tomorrow and people taking time out to watch the wales and new zealand game tonight. I know that you really want to say that wales are going to win . That is what you meant to say, isnt it . we havent. Its what i meant to say. Wales were so unlucky in the semifinal, when it went to 16 16. A lot of welsh bands, including the neutrals, thought wales were going to do it. South Africa Ground wales 0 and it was hard for the wales team to take. There was a lot of heartache. The wales captain alun wynjones, heartache. The wales captain alun wyn jones, probably his heartache. The wales captain alun wynjones, probably his last world cup, it is the last game for the wales coach Warren Gatland. He has w011 wales coach Warren Gatland. He has won two grand slams with wales and six nations championship. This is the end of an era for welsh rugby. I think a lot of players will bow out if not straight after this world cup, then in the next few months and perhaps weeks. It is a very difficult period for welsh rugby to not make that first World Cup Final. I think it will be very hard for the players to get themselves up to try and beat new zealand tonight. Great to talk to you. Let me also tell you we will be hearing from john watson, who is at Sale Rugby Club with sale sharks. He will be there a little later this hour. Do stay with us for that, as we hour. Do stay with us for that, as we build up to the rest of todays match with wales and tomorrow with england. 9 15am. The headlines on bbc news nigel farage calls for an election pact between his brexit party and the conservatives, but Senior Tories swiftly rule out any alliance. The government defends borisjohnsons brexit deal, after President Trump says it will hamper trade between the uk and the us. The human rights of young people with autism and learning difficulties are being breached in Mental Health hospitals in england, according to mps. The booming online trade in domestic slaves enabled by google, apple and instagram apps. In sport, the end of an era in tokyo as Warren Gatland takes charge of wales for the final match in his 12 year reign as coach. Currently 7 0 to new zealand in their Rugby World Cup third place player. Meanwhile, all smiles are eddiejones who said his england side can inspire the whole country, as they get set for their final on saturday morning against south africa. And england plasma cricket has made a good start to their tour of new zealand. They won the first t20 by seven wickets in what was chris silverwoods first game as head coach. I will be back with more on those stories later in the hour. Mps have criticised the Whirlpool Company for the time its taken to deal with potentially dangerous tumble dryers that have been linked to a spate of fires. Dangerous tumble dryers that have the Business Select Committee also said it was disgraceful that several customers whod been the victim of fires had been made to sign non disclosure agreements. Whirlpool has urged those who own an affected dryer and have not yet had it replaced to contact them immediately. Well, robertjervis gibbons who is the Public Affairs manager of Electrical Safety first is a charity thats works with all sectors of the electrical industry, to reduce deaths and injuries caused by electrical accidents. Very good to have you with us today, because we revisited this issue a number of times since, the court yea rs number of times since, the court years since whirlpool talked about these defects in the tumble dryers. Why are there still around 800,000 machines out there that havent actually been dealt with . Pa rt actually been dealt with . Part of the problem is that the manufacturer doesnt actually know where a lot of their consumers are. We have been calling on the Company Since 2015 to issue a recall. They have had four yields to deal with the situation etymologically they have only had the last four months where they have been proactively looking for consumers. That is where theyissued looking for consumers. That is where they issued a recall in the summer. So its been four years where they could have been doing far more on this particular issue, but theyve only been doing it really for the last four months. How much do you think these nondisclosure agreements the company has asked customers who have had fires with their tumble dryers to sign, how much has her luck lack of Public Awareness meant people havent known to get their tumble dryers back to the company to get them fixed . The alleged use of nondisclosure agreements is completely unacceptable. As a consumer charity, we unacceptable. As a consumer charity, we need people to come forward to us and tell us about these problems. We need people to talk to each other when they have incidents in their homes with tumble dryers and the use of nondisclosure agreements actually shuts down conversations and that is not acceptable. That has been part of the problem with the alleged use of the problem with the alleged use of these nondisclosure agreements. Your own research at the charity, i believe, robert, shows customers believe, robert, shows customers believe when they buy an Electrical Appliance that registering that appliances are pretty inconvenient, time consuming process. You want to see time consuming process. You want to see that change so all electrical items are registered at the point of purchase. How far would that go, do you think, to avoiding this kind of issue . I think it would be very helpful if products, particularly white goods, which we all buy and have at home, if we were to register them at the point of sale, that would be a really good start. We need to have a Big Conversation in this country about how we improve this situation, because we all buy white goods. When you use to go and buy a television yea rs you use to go and buy a Television Years ago, your details would be passed on immediately for tv licensing. So the president is already there but we need consumers to sign up to that. Often consumers can be scared about giving their details. The reality is retailers area details. The reality is retailers a re a really details. The reality is retailers are a really big part of this solution. The government committee, the business committee, also says there should be a tough independent safety body for consumers and says the Current System isnt fit for purpose and should be scrapped. Do you agree with that . We think the Office Safety a nd with that . We think the Office Safety and standards should have beefed up powers. At the moment it isa beefed up powers. At the moment it is a part of their scent may be a potential for it to become an Arms Length Organisation instead, may be like the food standards agency. But they would need to be a review of that because that would impact on local trading standards. They would need to be a debate on what powers is 0p ss has in the future. We would support a beefing up at those powers, support a beefing up at those poweis, so we support a beefing up at those powers, so we dont get into a situation like this, which we have had since 2015 with this whole world full situation. Finally, a quick reminder to people who might be watching this might have won of these tumble dryers, they were sold under different brands, if they think they have one of these, what should they do . The most important thing is stop using it and contact whirlpool immediately. There will be thousands of tumble dryers on the go right now across the uk and the most important thing is that people actually go and register their tumble dryers, regardless if it is a whirlpool tumble dryer or not. If you have a whirlpool tumble dryer under a hotpoint comic swann, you need to stop using it and contact the manufacturer. 0k, Robert Jervis gibbons at Electrical Safety first, thank you for your time. Many young people with learning disabilities and autism face the horrific reality of having their human rights breached in Mental Health hospitals, inflicting terrible suffering on them according to a new report. Thejoint committee of human rights said it had lost confidence in both the system, and its regulator the care quality commission. Its called for urgent changes to Mental Health laws and hospital inspections, as Jayne Mccubbin reports. No furniture, no toilet, no food, no warmth, no windows. This was the room ben had been repeatedly locked in. It makes you feel like the whole thing is a joke. People like my son are deemed worthless. And this is the room stephanie lived in for eight years of her life sorry. Stephanie was completely locked in that room. She did not have access a bathroom, she had her meals in there and she washed with wet wipes. This is also the room where stephanie died. Thats why i am here. We have to stop this. Today, a report from thejoint committee on human rights says seclusion and restraint is the horrific reality for too many young people with learning disabilities and autism, who too often face inappropriate detention in brutal circumstances which inflict terrible suffering. The breaches that we heard about, whether from parents or from young people themselves who have been subject to detention, were appalling. The committee was really traumatised by the evidence it heard. The inquiry calls for urgent change and an overhaul of the cqcs inspection regime, as it has been left to Media Organisations like the bbc to expose abuse. The cqc says many of the recommendations made are already under way, although, they add, we are clear there is still much more to be done. Jayne mccubbin, bbc news.

Could be some thunderstorms here. Temperatures for most of us quite mild, in the mid teens, a little cooler in parts of scotla nd teens, a little cooler in parts of scotland where you keep the patchy rain forced into this evening and tonight, the heavy showers push northwards, bringing some thunderstorms for a time as well. Some clearer skies but then early saturday morning, do watch out for some veiy saturday morning, do watch out for some very heavy rain and some strong squally winds pushing into the south west of england. It will be mild with the wind and cloud as well, that this area of low pressure could be a troublemaker for saturday. Look at the isobars to the south of that, tightly packed isobars indicating some very windy conditions, particularly across southern england and south wales as well. Also some heavy showers combined with those brisk winds. Windy for scotland, particularly in the north, these easterly winds bringing outbreaks of rain as well.

Hello, this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. The headlines Brexit Party Leader nigel farage has called for an election pact with the conservatives but Senior Tories have swiftly ruled out any alliance. The government has defended its brexit deal after President Trump said it would harm uk trade with the us. Tumble dryers that pose a serious fire risk could still be in hundreds of thousands of british homes. The human rights of young people with autism and learning difficulties are being breached in Mental Health hospitals in england, according to mps. The booming trade in domestic slaves including children on apps approved by google and apple. Ready for some well earned rest. And coming up the british submarine discovered more than 60 years after it vanished. Time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. During the run up to the election, well be looking in detail at how the parties are using digital and social media in theircampaigns with our reporterjoe tidy. Hes with me now. How have the first few days been looking online . It has been interesting to see what parties have come out of the blocks early and hard. The lib dems have gone quickly out of the blocks and spent £13,000 which does not sound like a lot but we are which does not sound like a lot but we are only two days in. What is interesting about this resource we have been given as it means we can see have been given as it means we can see which ads are being paid for by which party is and where they are being aimed so we can get an interesting brick red. Twitter decided yesterday not to run any political adverts. Lets look at the difference between paid and unpaid ads because labour began paid ads yesterday. The lib dems started. What is interesting, the lib dems have got this ad which is their video, they are sending this out to lots of people on facebook. Mainly young people, 45 or younger, seeing this video to stop brexit. There is a style which is a stop brexit with jo and that is being mainly aimed at women. You can see how jo and that is being mainly aimed at women. You can see how the different imagery is being targeted at different people. Labour have spent about £3000 in one day. On facebook and instagram. They are targeting a mixture of people but when it is a young person it is help us out, join here, a call to arms, but when they ask for money, they say to that end, they are asking that for mainly older people, 35 or older. 0ne they are asking that for mainly older people, 35 or older. One of the arts was aimed squarely at males who are over 65 and that was literally donate here. The conservatives have not paid any ads at all. The only one they have is a not for Milton Keynes using a picture ofJeremy Corbyn and it is a quote from him back injanuary when he said something that some people with siesta comic against Milton Keynes. Plaid cymru have started to spend and nothing from the snp yet. Lets look at paid against unpaid ads. They can be powerful as well. We have this resource to look at exactly what is happening but a lot of the power comes from what is being shared and going viral and those things can start organically and they can be more powerful. Yesterday there was a prominent remain campaigner who tweeted britain has exploded which was one of the top trends of the day on twitter but people using the hashtag to see sarcastic things about brexiteers seeing the world with their if we had not left the eu by yesterday. It can backfire as well. The day before that there was a hashtag the day before that there was a has htag vote the day before that there was a hashtag vote conservative which was started off seemingly seriously but very quickly became sarcastic. That is the thing, you do not know who is going to pick up something that you tweet and how they are going to run with it. Thank you. Another story thats got people talking on twitter is that news that donald trump is moving from new york and making florida his permanent home. He accused new yorks political leaders of treating him badly despite having paid millions of dollars in tax. Mr trump was born in new york but has increasingly spent more time at his mar a lago estate in palm beach. In response, new yorks democrat governor, andrew cuomo, tweeted good riddance to the president , its not like he paid taxes here anyways. Hes all yours florida. Meanwhile, the mayor of new york tweeted his condolences to the good people of florida and said President Trump is trying to outrun his past. The most read story at the moment is about a mobile phone loophole for drivers to be closed. The government plans to close this legal loophole that has a allied drivers to take photographs to escape prosecution. Currently you can be prosecuted if you are talking on your mobile phone while driving but there has been this loophole. The story most watched as an interesting film about one in five young women saying they are and that all of the time in nearly 40 say they struggle to make their money last until the end of their money last until the end of the month. This is the story of one woman quoting research and it tells how she clears £20,000 of debt and thatis how she clears £20,000 of debt and that is the most watched story today and that is it for the briefing. Sport now and, for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, heres sarah. Good morning. Plenty to come shortly on englands prepartions to the Rugby World Cup final, but first its the end of an era in tokyo as Warren Gatland is taking charge of wales for the final match in his 12 year reign as coach. Theyre taking on new zealand in the Third Fourth Place play off game. And the early play went the way of the all blacks joe moody crossed the line just five minutes in. Then Beauden Barrett does what he does best the full back running in for new zealand 8 minutes later. But wales have got back into things a try from hallom amos and Rhys Patchell has kicked a penalty currently 14 10. Well, how are the nerves i wonder for all you england fans watching. Its morning here night time injapan and weve heard about captain 0wen farrells Emotional Team talks the night before their big games. No doubt that is done and dusted now. Things dont come much bigger than a World Cup Final. So weve sentjohn watson to sale sharks rugby club. And whether its england or south africa that wins this club is certain of having a world cup winner in their team. Yes, four players from this team will be competing in the World Cup Final tomorrow. We have been inside the changing rooms and a gem and we are on the training pitches where local School Children are training and this is where a lot of the hard work takes place especially when you consider that one of the players will be representing south africa along with two more. No coaches allowed inside the team room and will be the most important of his career. They do not come much bigger than a World Cup Final against south africa in japan than a World Cup Final against south africa injapan tomorrow. Worth pointing out he has been having some expert advice. Jonny wilkinson seen at training perhaps giving kicking tips to 0wen farrell. It was the crucial drop goalfrom tips to 0wen farrell. It was the crucial drop goal from Jonny Wilkinson which seen england when the 2003 world cup all of those yea rs the 2003 world cup all of those years ago. A man competing that day was a former england winger whose driver was rolled out during that match that may have seen a different outcome. He was telling us what the england team can expect from the tea m england team can expect from the team talk. There will not be a huge amount of motivation. The boys will be massively up for this. It will be about thinking about your family, your friends. There is a lot of emotion involved but at the same time it will be about keeping a lid on it, enjoying the moment, taking as much of the atmosphere and the environment. It is not everyday you play in a World Cup Final so you to enjoy it but you have to try to keep a lid on it are not allowed it to affect your performance. And what of the South African contingent that play their rugby here . It has been fascinating to hear from the england winger saying you cannot mess hear from the england winger saying you cannot mess one hear from the england winger saying you cannot mess one of the players with a mop of blond hair. And one man knows what its like to play under eddie jones having man knows what its like to play under eddiejones having toured with england to south africa and argentina before. He gave us an insight into the South African deal. He is very influential. He has been great for south africa and for sale and has brought in a lot of energy when he plays. He is a little pet bill. Is he like that in training . Yes. Everyone doesnt take it personal because he wants to win and thatis personal because he wants to win and that is the kind of culture we are trying to bring here. It is hard to overstate the significance of this match for both sides. All of the historical issues that have faced south africa as a country, playing for so much more than a shirt, the rugby side are a beacon of hope for the country. Eddiejones said he wanted to change lives when he took over four years ago, change the lives of the england players and their families, and ago, change the lives of the england players and theirfamilies, and it looks as though they are he is said to deliver. Looking to become one of the few players who can see the other one Rugby World Cup. There has been another try in the by. There has been another try in the rugby. It is 21 10. It was a converted try. New zealand leading wales. Plenty of rugby then for the papers to get excited about this morning. The times has a picture of eddiejones, who says englabnd can inspire a nation if they win the world cup. He says the sport has the ability to change the way people feel. The express says england have no fear as they approach the final in yokohama. And the mirrors main story is about the arsenal captain granit xhaka whos issued a statement after falling out with fans last weekend. In that statement xhaka says that repeated threats to his wife and daughter pushed him to boiling point. He swore at fans and stormed off the pitch during arsenals 2 2 premier league draw with Crystal Palace last weekend. He says he reacted disrespectfully, but he had been hurt deeply by comments on social media and at matches. Englands cricketers made a good start to their tour of new zealand. They won the first t20 by seven wickets. James vince the star in christchurch scoring 59 off 38 balls in what was chris silverwoods first game as head coach. Lewis hamilton says he can still get even better as he prepares for a weekend in which he could win his sixth formula one world title. He is almost certain to win it at the us grand prix on sunday. All he has to do is to not lose 22 points to his Mercedes Team ma valterri bottas. Hamilton says a sixth title would be unreal, and reckons the peak of his powers is still to come. Now finally this has been big news on social media the former boxing world heavyweight champion tyson fury had a bit of fun as he made his wrestling debut last night. He made a grand entrance in wwes crownjewel event in saudi arabia, and he won his fight against american Braun Strowman with a knockout punch. Thats all the sport for now. More from us at 11 30am. The government is tightening up the laws surrounding the use of mobile phones by drivers. It will close a loophole that allows people to escape prosecution for using a mobile to film or take photos while driving. I am joined from cardiff by Rebecca Ashton who is head of driver behaviour at iam roadsmart which is a charity dedicated to reducing the number of People Killed and seriously injured on the roads. Thank you for coming along. It is amazing that this loophole exists. Absolutely but i think you will find when the locking into place we did not use phones in the same way do now. We use them mainly for communicating whereas now they are a much bigger part of our lives and how we use them has totally changed. So the low has to catch up with technology and our behaviour. That is exactly what this law does and it is exactly what this law does and it is good they are bringing us up to date. Is good they are bringing us uptodate. It is worth reflecting on the impact of the use of phones on the impact of the use of phones on road safety and the accident statistics that are linked to phone yours. Absolutely. It is very dangerous to go is anything when you are driving because your brain cannot multitask. We think it can but it cant and when you go is 100 of your concentration on driving as soon as you of your concentration on driving as soon as you do something else, whether it is scrolling for music are trying to do something, a certain amount of your concentration is taken away from the driving task. Apart from any action the government can take you are also looking at the charity to look mobile phone companies, social media companies, car manufacturers, to come up with solutions to allow us to stay connected but not because a safety risk. If you think about it we have the technology to be able to stop phones being used when you are driving so for example on my phone i have the ability to turn it on a driving mode which means it will not contact me and if people message me they get an automatic message back saying i am driving but i will contact saying i am driving but i will co nta ct you saying i am driving but i will contact you once i have stopped. There is technology that is able to tell when somebody is driving but we need improvement on that to be able to make sure that if people are driving they are not able to use their phones. You are disappointed their phones. You are disappointed the government has not responded to your suggestion that first time offenders should be sent on a course to be educate them. Yes, i think education is really important. People do not understand the dangers and by going on a course and being able to perhaps see the dangers and get everything explained to them a little bit more think that will help. Thank you. An investigation by bbc news arabic has found women being put up for sale online in kuwait as Domestic Workers. A un expert has described it as an illegal online slave market. The investigation found that instagram which is owned by facebook along with apps available on google and apple are being used to trade people without their knowledge or consent. 0ne app user even offered to sell a 16 Year Old Girl to the bbcs undercover team. Jess kelly reports. We have heard of Domestic Workers being sold in kuwait using apps available on google play and the apple app store. We went undercover to try to expose this illegal trade. We found hundreds of women being advertised on facebook owned instagram using dedicated hashtags. Most women had no idea they were being advertised for sale online. We arranged to meet a seller who was advertising a Domestic Worker on the kuwaiti app 4sale. Her price 2300 us dollars. He told us he was a policeman and boasted about how he controlled her everyday life. Permits for Domestic Workers are attached to their employer but the apps have created a black market where the permit and the person can effectively be resold. We arranged to meet another seller, advertising a Domestic Worker from africa for 3800 us dollars. She is trying to sell a child for Domestic Work, which is illegal. This is the quintessential example of modern slavery. If google, apple, facebook or any other company is promoting apps like these, hosting apps like these, they are promoting an online slave market. Following our investigation, 4sale has removed its Domestic Work section and said. Facebook, which owns instagram, told us. But the bbc has found hundreds of women still being advertised on instagram using other hashtags. Both google and apple told the bbc that this type of behaviour has no place on their application stores. Kuwaits government deported the 16 Year Old Girl but has taken no action against the woman who tried to sell her, or the policeman. Jess kelly, bbc news.

A ban on smoking in restaurants and bars has come in to force in austria. The country was one of the few European Union nations which did not have a ban as rich preston reports. The ban applies to any enclosed space where food or drink are being prepared or served. Its come in later than expected. It had been due to come into force last year, but the government, which included the far right freedom party, scrapped it. When the government fell in may, the idea was reintroduced. About one quarter of austrian adults smoke above the european average. Many see this as a step in the right direction for a modern western nation. Translation i am totally wowed. Its 25 years too late but finally it happened. Translation it was time to come. Of course, not everyone is happy. Translation i tell you, its being bossed around. Translation when we go outside at night, we have a noise and an odour problem for the neighbours. Doctors say its good news of the health of austrians as long as this time, the ban sticks.
