On. I really feel attached to the tea m on. I really feel attached to the team and its an honour doing this role, as the coach of australia. It is not given to a lot of people. And i take it with a lot of pride and a lot of honour. But, like i said, ive made my call and i wanted to show that im prepared to put myself on the line. To achieve what i believe the team good. We didnt do that and ive got to stand by what i said. That england win against australia set up a mouthwetering semi final against new zealand next weekend. The reigning champions thrashed ireland. But speaking this morning, england head coach eddiejones thinks they are beatable. The all blacks are a great side. They have got a good leadership team, they are well coached. If you give them the sort of ball they want, they are hard to defend against. Like any team they have got weaknesses. Are they beatable . Every team is beatable. Nobody has a 100 record in test rugby. Nobody wins every grand slam 6 0, 6 0. Every team h

The uk Prime Minister earlier in the programme, and what i find interesting is the front page of the times talks in a lot of detail about eu leaders, in particular the finish Prime Minister was saying what is wrong with the uk deal, and yet if you read other papers, the telegraph, if you read bbc online, it is not as negative finnish. It depends what you read. Who is saying what, how this might go. It totally depends on what you read and it is very interesting because the uk is very interesting because the uk is very good at having this conversation amongst ourselves, on brexit. We really need to talk to the other lot, the guys in brussels. But when you look at it, what bewildered me is, clearly, the deal as it stands is not acceptable to the eu, the latvian Prime Minister came out on sunday saying, what we are worried about with Boris Johnsons deal, their weight and there may be a wave of goods that are not compliant with eu regulations to bleed into the rest of the eu via northern ir
More, lots more to come on a week when even the speaker described the atmosphere in the commons as toxic. But first, cast your mind back a couple of weeks or so. Remember this .

Colleagues, welcome back to our place of work. The Uk Supreme Court ruled yesterday that parliament has not been prorogued. As you were, then. A defiant Prime Minister was forced to fly back early from the United Nations in new york. He bla
Now on bbc news thursday in parliament. Hello and welcome to thursday in parliament. As Boris Johnson offers a brexit compromise with a warning if our european neighbours choose not to show a corresponding willingness to reach a deal, then we shall have to leave on october 31 without an agreement. But labour say its unrealistic and unworkable. And as i think the Prime Minister full well knows, will be rejected in brussels, rejected in this house and rejected across this country. And theres a warning his irish border plan will fail. Not one single other Political Party or any organisation in Northern Ireland supports this deal. Borisjohnson told mps he has made a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm in order to get a fresh brexit deal with the eu. The Prime Ministers offer would see Northern Ireland continuing to follow some eu Single Market rules if the Stormont Assembly agrees and customs checks on the island of ireland. Striking a less combative tone than previously, he admitted his p
