katie gornall is there for us. this has been called the �*group of death' from the start, with the champions, south africa, in there too. it won't come as a surprise that all three are fighting for a knockout place on the final weekend. yes, you are right, it is a huge pool b decider and there is a web of permutations around this one. if ireland when they go through and scotland go home. if ireland lose, things become complicated. scotland need to win by at least eight points to go through and deny ireland a four try bonus point. that would put them through alongside south africa. there is also a permutation work by south africa go out. if scotland scored four tries, beat ireland by 21 points and ireland score four tries of their own, that would put south africa out and see scotland and ireland advance. south africa have already played their final group game. they have played their hand, now it is going to scotland and ireland to play theirs. the permutations _ and ireland to play theirs. the permutations are _ and ireland to play theirs. the permutations are fascinating. the permutations are fascinating. ireland are on a 16—match winning run. scotland have a poor record against them. it's hard to see an upset, isn't it? it is. they don't have a great record against ireland. they have only beaten ireland once in the last ten years, scotland. ireland are the form team in world rugby. ireland, despite their world number one ranking, they haven't always lived up ranking, they haven't always lived up to expectations at world cups. they have never made it past the quarterfinal, so that will give scotland some belief. scotland also know that they have arguably never been better. their backline is as potent as any in the sport. they will draw a lot of belief that. we will draw a lot of belief that. we will hear from the head coaches now. we already have addressed the challenge this week of playing such a good _ challenge this week of playing such a good

the day's other sport stories. women's tennis world number one aryna sabalenka is out of the china open in beijing. she was beaten by elena rybakina in straight sets 7—5, 6—2. rybakina is now through

ireland. it would be the first time either tournament has been staged outside the uk. after england's battering by new zealand at the cricket world cup, today it was the turn of pakistan and netherlands, who went up against each other in hyderabad on the second day of the tournament. it wasn't straightforward for pakistan, but in the end they got the winning start they wanted, asjoe lynskey reports. just to be here is a breakthrough for cricket in the netherlands. they have not reached this world cup since 2011 and through their squad is spirit. much of this team are now full—time, and serving up this kind of bowling. that ball took down mohammad rizwan. although pakistan lost all their wickets, they did enough, just, to make a score. they made a start with style, the netherlands, but then they make misjudgments. one player got to 67. when he was bowled, pakistan could sense a gentle finish. the dutch all out and more than 80 runs short. at this world cup as their platform and threw it all they will keep smiling. it's a huge weekend in rugby league with the start of the men's super league play—off semifinals this evening. reigning champions st helens are in the south of france to take on catalans dragons for a place in next week's grand final at old trafford. that's before hull kingston rovers play wigan in the other semi tomorrow. our reporter adam wild is here. adam, lets start with tonight because a big occasion for two clubs and for two players in particular. yes, two of the most impressive sights over the course of the season. catalan finishing second after the regular season, just nipping after the regular season, just pipping staines into third place. st helens going for an unprecedented fit back—to—back title. there are widely regarded as the greatest side in the modern era. catalan have really grown over the last decade or so. they have been to the big occasions before, winning the challenge cup. they were beaten by saints and the grand final a couple of years ago. there is a sense that this year could be their year. but there is an intriguing subplot to this one. we are given to hyperbole and hype and overusing the word great, but it is justified on this occasion. james roby, sam tomkins, true greats of the modern game will retire at the end of the season. james roby, a one club man, has played for since his entire career. he has won everything in the game. a six time grand final winner. he has won four challenge caps. no one has died more super league games than him. the catalan side tonight, sam tomkins. we captained england at the world cup last year. is a super league winner. twice been the man of steel. two of the greats of the modern game. for one of them their career will end this evening. the other one will go on to play and the grand final next week. what about tomorrow? how much of an upset would a hull kr win be? this is the other semifinal tomorrow lunchtime. hull kingston rovers had never been to a grand final. six weeks ago they got to the challenge cup final and were narrowly beaten. they will go in as underdogs. they are playing wigan warriors at wigan. wigan have had a week off and that may well prove crucial. the woman's grand final, that is on sunday. it's a huge weekend of rugby league. it all begins tonight in perpignan, catalan against saints. you can listen to that one on bbc radio. preparations are well under way for the paralympics in paris next year — one of the biggest sporting events in the world. but it all started out as a small competition at stoke mandeville hospital in buckinghamshire. there has been a very special launch going on there today, as john maguire reports. it's incredible to think that what was called preparations are well under way for the paralympics it's incredible to think that what was called a hospital sports day, coinciding with the london olympics in 1948, has grown into one of the biggest international events on the planet. it was the brainchild of professor sir ludwig guttmann, a neurologist who fled the nazis and at stoke mandeville hospital in buckinghamshire set about rehabilitating people with spinal injuries. well, i haven't got much hope. you haven't got much hope? no. oh, look here. cut it out. at the time, life expectancy for a paraplegic patient was just two years. immobility led to infections. but the professor had other radical ideas and he was characteristically blunt about it. to put it quite clearly, to transform a helpless individual, severely disabled, into a taxpayer. that sounds very materialistic, but there's a deep philosophy behind it. a just 18, sally haynes was a very promising horsewoman. but a riding accident damaged her spine, and she was treated at stoke mandeville. living near the hospital, she was well used to seeing patients in wheelchairs. so when i actually finished up being one of them, i wasn't scared. i...i was horrified, but i wasn't scared because i had this great faith in guttmann because of his already acknowledged achievements. naturally competitive, sallyjumped at the chance to join the team for what was now known as the stoke mandeville games, being staged after the rome olympics in 1960. she went on to win gold and silver medals at subsequent events and became a trailblazer for wheelchairfencing in the uk, all the while embodying the spirit of the games. it was compensation for what i couldn't do with my riding and racing, show jumping. it was a replacement for that because i hadn't found anything to replace that feeling of...i wanted to make myself better doing it. which was the same with riding all the time. it was what you were looking for and the wheelchair sport was giving me what i was looking for. her family and friends organised a horse show to raise money and this is sally as a cheque is handed over to professor guttmann to pay for the athletes' flights to rome. over the years, the stoke mandeville games have become the paralympics. they've grown hugely in scale, ambition and global recognition, with the idea to create the flame here and start every torch relay from now on. the fire that was lit by professor guttmann 75 years ago should now burn brighter than ever. john maguire, bbc news. that's very nearly it for sporstday. a reminder before we go that qualifying is in the final few minutes for the qatar grand prix, where max verstappen can win his third world title in a row this weekend. you can follow it all on the bbc sport website. there's gymnastics on iplayer and starting on bbc two at seven o'clock, apart from in northern ireland, you can see if simone biles will add further to her greatness tonight — if she finishes on the podium in the all—around final at the world gymnastics championships in antwerp . the world gymnastics championships in antwerp she'll become the most successful gymnast in history in terms of medals won across the olympics and the worlds. the bbc sport website for all of that too, but from me and the team for now, goodnight. hello. friday brought us a bit of a mixed day weather—wise across the uk. some rain in the north and north—west, some sunshine towards the south. the next few days, a big contrast in temperature. warmer than average by quite a bit across much of england, wales and northern ireland. colder than average for scotland, particularly during the weekend, we're going to see some really heavy rain moving in. up to about 150, perhaps even 180 millimetres of rain accumulating over the next few days. that's enough to cause some problems, so the met office have issued an amber weather warning for the risk of some flooding and disruption to perhaps travel, power networks as well across this zone. now, all that wet weather is due to this frontal system here, which is going to be really slow—moving into the weekend, especially so on saturday. we've got high pressure further south. so as we head through the rest of this evening and overnight, we've already got that front with us. it's going to be pushing a bit further north. so drying up for parts of northern ireland and northern england, but the rain becoming particularly persistent and heavy across central parts of scotland first thing tomorrow morning. reasonably mild for most of us, especially towards the south, with those overnight temperatures in the mid—teens. could be a bit of a low cloud, mist and murk particularly around some of these irish sea coasts to start your saturday morning. but long spells of sunshine, really, for much of england, wales and northern ireland. a bit of high cloud drifting around, a bit hazy. heavy rain, though, across central parts of scotland. those rainfall totals really mounting up. now, in the sunshine in the south, we could see temperatures as high as 2a—25 degrees in one or two spots. whereas further north, contrast that to aberdeen, just nine degrees sitting under the cloud with the rain as well. so very big contrasts, really, all round in the weather through the weekend. for sunday, we've still got the rain across scotland. it'll slowly lift northwards, so gradually drying out for some central and western areas. best of the sunshine again will be further south, and temperatures perhaps a degree down compared to saturday. 23 or so for the warmest spots, and not quite as chilly across parts of scotland. into monday, that rain will have cleared away. a bit of a cool northerly breeze across the north of scotland, but a dry day for most of us, i think. there will be areas of cloud drifting around, some hazy sunshine and temperatures generally in the mid—to—high teens in the north. but again, the mid—20s possible towards the south. that warm weather then holds on into tuesday for some southern areas, but we'll start to see more showers from wednesday onwards as temperatures return to more typical for the time of year. bye— bye. live from london, this is bbc news. in scotland, labour score a major by—election win by taking a seat from the snp. with a general election expected next year, labour leader sir keir starmer describes the result as "seismic". a man appears in court charged with soliciting to commit murder over an alleged plot to kidnap the british tv presenter holly willoughby. the jailed iranian women's rights campaigner narges mohammadi wins the nobel peace prize. her husband tells the bbc the award is a profound moment for the country's fight for freedom. translation: narges - is a representative of all those whom this prize has gone to. it belongs to women, life, freedom. hello, i'm rajini vaidynathan. welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. well, we begin here in the uk. labour has emphatically won the rutherglen and hamilton west by—election in what's being seen as a key test of the party's ability to regain seats in scotland. with a larger than expected swing of 20.4%, labour's michael shanks secured just under 18,000 votes, more than double the total for the snp's katy loudon, who came second. the by—election was triggered by the removal of the snp's margaret ferrier after she broke covid lockdown rules in 2020. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon was at the count.
