The 34 12 Win Overjapan was a lot tougher than the scoreline suggests. They only led by a point early in the second half, and some of their supporters had booed their negative, kicking game before a couple of late tries saw them pull clear in nice. George fords Brilliant Cross Field Kick picked out Freddie Steward and with the match in overtime, joe marchant scored a fourth try for a bonus point. They top the group and should be fairly confident of reaching the quarterfinals with chile and samoa next.

And thats all the sport for now. Thank you very much. Lets move on and talk about china and russia. Chinas top diplomat wang yi is visiting russia for security talks, as moscow continues seeking support for its war on ukraine. Russian media said mr wangs trip would also lay the ground for President Putin to make a landmark visit to beijing soon. Mr putin has not travelled abroad since the International Criminal court issued an Arrest Warrant for him over alleged warcrimes in ukraine. Live now to anastasiya shapockina, founder and president of the Eastern Circles Geoeconomics think tank. It so good to talk to you. Thank you forjoining us. What do you think both parties want to get out of this meeting . To understand this, we have to remember that the meeting will take place against the backdrop of two very recent meetings, one was between the leader of north korea king john and with President Putin and the other was with wang yi there was a responsible member. The timing, the choice of wang yis meeting with russias foreign First Minister at this time kenshin adjust was based on this backdrop a few things. First is that china is not gone as far in its support for russia as russia would expect. Even using north korea as a proxy because the meeting they expected would result in north koreas weaponry commitment to russias war effort in ukraine. They resulted injust commitment to russias war effort in ukraine. They resulted in just the opposite. We saw Kim Jong Hoon departing with the weapons from russia which was we suspect the last result that russia would have expected. And then the second backdrop meeting between wang yi and jakes elements are to us that the suggest to us that no matter how much china is speaking about being the partner of russia and rush being its partner in the new era, according to the minister of chinas foreign affairs, they are not ready to abandon the true great power in true great rival, the United States. And cons to a solution of the Ukraine War Conflict and russias invasion of ukraine. Thank you very much indeed for that im very sorry that we are going to have to cut in there just now and leave you with those thoughts on the russia, china situation. Thank you very much indeed. As always, you can get more on that meeting on our website. I think now we want to go live to doha. Just from the corner of my eye, i spotted a Plane Landing in doha thinking potentially this could have been a plane carrying the five iranian hostages, sorry, prisoners. They have not yet landed in doha. We are still waiting for that to happen. Lets talk more about what is happening in uk politics. Its emerged that senior Government Officials spoke to Buckingham Palace during the pandemic to express their concern about Boris Johnsons conduct in office. More on that story later. Lets take you back live to doha because she is always right, that plane is carrying the five prisoners who have been released by iran in a prisoner exchange. I can bring in our Chief Correspondent who was there at the airport for us. The player now carrying these five prisoners. This must be such an intense moment for not only them but their close family and friends. You can feel the their close family and friends. firm can feel the intensity their close family and friends. 7m. Can feel the intensity even here in the baking heat as the sun sets in doha. Such an ordinary setting, the tarmac and old airport for this extraordinary moment. You can see they are readying the stairs which was once a qatari charter plane which went to the Radian Capital tehran to pick up the five american citizens who also hold iranian passports. We also understand they were travelling with two of their relatives who werent able to leave iran. The qatari and ambassador is also the swift ambassador who looks after american interests in iran. Waiting on the tarmac at the qatari and american officials. We understand that the first senior american official who will greet the Freed Americans will be the american ambassador. He is now waiting at the tarmac. He isjust out ambassador. He is now waiting at the tarmac. He is just out of my vision to the side. The door is not open. Just imagine the feelings of those inside the aircraft. Theyjust left iranian airspace some two hours ago after spending years in irans notorious prison. They spent the last month or so under house arrest but all of them have been told so many times before that they would soon be freed. Now they must be feeling, this is it. They will soon put their feet on non irani and soil knowing for certain that they are now free. This is an extraordinary political moment. This moment embarks the end of a painful personal ordeal for american citizens who became Bargaining Chips in irans wrangling with the west. They have secured their freedom for a deal that is highly complex and deeply controversial. For the moment, all eyes are on this man. They can see now that the door is open. You can see the light inside. We know that the. We are expecting a first person to disembark will be the qatari ambassador to iran in line with protocol. We are just waiting. He comes. Here comes the ambassador. Yes, we can see them. Five american citizens now freed. Imagine, just imagine what they are going through. This is a controversial deal but there is no denying the emotion and the palpable relief and we have heard in a statement that was issued by one of the most high profile of the rainier america, a Statement Released through his lawyers, he had said they could release it once he reaches doha. He has said that The Nightmare Has Ended and he has thought of this day every day of the 200 2898 thought of this day every day of the 200 2898 days that he languished behind prison walls in irans prison. Look at the hugging going on. The embrace. Meeting american officials going here. Two other american officials are also here on the tarmac. Also the acting iran invoicing. They are both here. They are hugging on the tarmac. This is the most intense the most poignant moment of all will be when they land in washington. It will be they land in washington. It will be the embrace of their loved ones. Loved ones who have lived this ordeal with their Family Members backin ordeal with their Family Members back in iran, never quite sure that they would ever see them again. They will spend just moments here on the tarmac at this International Airport and then we will expect that they will walk across the tarmac. There will walk across the tarmac. There will be some medical procedures that will be some medical procedures that will take place but we are not expecting this transit to last long. They want to get home to the United States. It has been such a long time coming. Siamak namazi released to the press in his letter that he thanked President Biden for putting the lives of the americans above politics because there is no denying that this is a difficult deal. They will go back to the United States notjust will go back to the United States not just to the will go back to the United States notjust to the arms of their will go back to the United States not just to the arms of their loved ones but to the criticism of leading us republicans who have accused the Biden Administration of paying ransom that these hostages and forgiving sanctions relief to iran. The us and qatari officials underlined that this is irani money as part of the deal that is now in qatari banks. Iran cannot access that it can only be accessed by third parties for non sanctioned goods such as food and medicine. And now, the Five Americans and two relatives. They are no longer in sight they have gone into the terminal. We should underlined that two of the prisoners did not want to be identified. We only know the identities of three. Siamak namazi, 51 years old. The longest held a Rainy American held in on iranian prison. Also emad shargi and other person detained since 2013. And morad tahbaz and environmentalists detained in 2018. All of them convicted of Spying Charges which is led the United States to say that these are not ordinary prisoners, these are not ordinary prisoners, these are not ordinary prisoners, these are hostages. As part of the swap, we understand that two of the iranians released from american jails today are not expected to return to iran. Those five prisoners, according to irani and officials, were charged with violations of us sanctions. Three of them had actually been awaiting trial, two of them the sentences were about to expire. They have now been freed, given clemency as the phrase being used by the United States as part of this prisoner swap. Us officials are clear. This was a very difficult decision. Negotiations, talks, negotiating with nine rounds of talks here in qatar. In separate hotels, qatari officials shuttling between them trying to wrestle with all of the difficult details to come up with the mechanism so that President Biden could say to american taxpayers, this is not your money, this is irani and money. They got it is selling oil, these are not frozen funds, they couldnt access the funds, they couldnt access the funds through various difficulties including currency conversion. Today is just the beginning including currency conversion. Today isjust the beginning of including currency conversion. Today is just the beginning of a including currency conversion. Today isjust the beginning of a new Chapterfor Isjust the beginning of a new chapter for these Five Americans, their loved ones and relatives who are travelling with them. We know from other dual nationals who were freed in these kind of deals that there is a long painful ordeal ahead. Siamak namazi talked about a moment laced with sorrow and also guilt that they have left behind bars in iran other dual nationals who simply dont know when if ever they will go home.

It was absolutely mind blowing. Mikes flown from biggin hill, a vitalfighter base in the Battle Of Britain, to the skies where the dogfights took place along the white cliffs of the south coast.

Its often going to be wet and windy. What about those storms last night that we saw . Well, in swindon we had basically a months worth of rainfall in one hour. There have been reports of flooding from thunderstorms over the last 24 hours. For example, in parts of devon, pretty badly affected here. Now, this week, as i say, is going to be unsettled. Its down to a strong Jet Stream Blasting across the atlantic at 150mph. This strong Jet Stream Spawns areas of low pressure that then get squirted away eastwards across the uk, hence the wet and windy weather conditions. Today, weather wise, weve seen a band of rain pushing its way eastwards across england and scotland. Its a day essentially of sunshine and showers. The showers quite frequent across West Scotland and Northern Ireland. Bigger gaps between the showers across wales and western england, so there will be some places that stay entirely dry this afternoon, but it will stay quite breezy. 0vernight, initially the showers fade away, but later in the night were looking at a zone of heavier rain moving back in from the west. Temperatures overnight quite mild in the south, some cooler and fresher air across the north. Over the next couple of days, well see some very large Rainfall Totals building in, particularly across the hills of wales and north west england. That could bring some localised flooding issues. Tuesday is a wet and a windy kind of day. Gusty winds for the vast majority of us and those winds could peak at around 60mph gusts into the north west of wales, blowing this band of Rain Northwards across northern england, across Northern Ireland and on into southern and central scotland. 0ur Temperatures generally into the high teens for many of us. Now, five days ago Hurricane Lee was spinning around out in the atlantic. Since then, its turned into a normal area of low pressure that brought some wet and windy weather to east canada and the north east of the United States over the weekend. Well, the remnants of that old hurricane are tied in with this area of low pressure that will be moving its way across the uk for wednesday. So another bout of wet and windy weather on the way. The winds particularly squally and gusty on and just ahead of this weather front, which is a cold front moving across england and wales. We could also see some very strong winds for western scotland. Gusts could reach 60mph or 70mph. Theres still a bit of uncertainty about the exact strength, itjust depends how deep that area of low pressure is. Over the next few days, though, it does stay wet and windy, probably saturday your best chance of staying dry. Live from london, this is bbc news.
