The Americas Cup is the only Trophy Weve never won an international sport so its a massive moment for british sailing on british sport.

We speak to the vikings� Head Coach as they get ready to face the jets at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Ben ainslie and his crew on Ineos Brittania made history off the coast of barcelona this afternoon, winning the one race they needed to clinch the Louis Vuitton Cup final against the italians� luna rossa. And that means that they will take on New Zealand for the Americas Cup later this month, the first time in 60 years that a british boat has challenged for sailings greatest prize. Our Sports Editor Dan Roan is in barcelona. The roan is in barcelona. Racing, its been spectacular, the the racing, its been spectacular, the speed those boats grow, its been intense and Ben Ainslie is one step closer, hes a Man On A Mission for a long time, Down. For a long time, Down. Absolutely, es. Hes for a long time, Down. Absolutely, yes hes a for a long time, Down. Absolutely, yes. Hes a fourtime for a long time, Down. Absolutely, yes. Hes a fourtime olympic yes. Hes a four time olympic Ben Ainslie, but he told me this caps anything that hes achieved in his illustrious career because of the team element, this is something hes been building towards for more than ten years since he conceived the idea of a british bid to try an end that more than 170 year long wait, thats how Long Britain has been trying and failing to win the oldest and most illustrious Sailing Competition that there is in the sport. And as you say, since 1964 him and his and he is britannia team, have finally been able to get to the final of the Americas Cup. They brought their investment to the parties will come struggled initially and in the last attempt three years ago they were soundly beaten at this stage of the competition, effectively in the Qualifying Event for the Americas Cup final de la 7 1. Its been a compelling and very evenly matched series against their italian opponents luna rossa, its featured really challenging conditions with big waves and high winds. Theres been some danger as well on occasion, given the speed as you say, 60 miles an hour these extraordinary vessels which each of these fins which lift up and effectively allow these Mono Hold boats to effectively fly above the water. It is one of the great visual spectacles in sport and on three occasions up until today the british team have got a head only for the italians to draw level and then on wednesday they went 6 4 up come the first of seven would prevail and they knew coming here today Ainslies Crew, if they could just win one of the two scheduled races they would be safely through and thatis they would be safely through and that is exactly what happened. It was a masterful performance, they built an early lead in the race today, the italians did crawl their way back and came within 30 metres just over the Halfway Stage but any of us britannia did then clinch a victory by 7 4. I caught up with ainslie a few minutes afterwards, heres what he had to say. Huge moment for the team, you know, im super proud of everyone on the water and on the shore, back in the uk and with the technical team its been a massive team effort, so its been great. A long journey for you. It was 2013 when you first began . Yet, ten years since we pounded the team and its the first time yeah, ten years since we pounded the team and its the first time with the Cup And Weve had some good moments and not so good moments, this is definitely the best so far. Of course we want to go all the way now. Eight days they have now, dan, to prepare for the 37th Americas Cup, emirates New Zealand they are the defenders, and he is britannia now the official challengers. They will be battle hardened though, Ben Ainslie Ainslies Crew . Be battle hardened though, Ben Ainslie Ainslies Crew . Thats the ho e, ainslie Ainslies Crew . Thats the hepe. Yes ainslie Ainslies Crew . Thats the hepe. Yes. It ainslie Ainslies Crew . Thats the hope, yes. It contrasts ainslie Ainslies Crew . Thats the hope, yes. It contrasts starkly i ainslie Ainslies Crew . Thats the l hope, yes. It contrasts starkly with the defending champions emirates New Zealand who have not been involved in this Louis Vuitton Cup, they are the holders but on the other hand they have a huge advantage because under Americas Cup rules they are really in control. They dictate the rules of the contest, where exactly it takes place, the number of crew on board for example, all of that is up on board for example, all of that is up to their discretion effectively. So it is very hard, its one of the reasons it is so difficult to win this championship when you are the challenger and it happens really. But with ainslie in command, this is something of course hes been working towards for years as we said. And given that the new Zealand Crew Havent raised competitively for quite some time, not since early september, i think there will be hopes that given what theyve just gone through and achieved in the last few days, if any is britannia can continue their success when the two teams come head to head a week tomorrow. Its the same format, first of seven first to seven. Two weeks monday they will be crowned champions for the first time in more than 170 years. Dan crowned champions for the first time in more than 170 years. In more than 170 years. Dan roan, our sports in more than 170 years. Dan roan, our Sports Editor in more than 170 years.

Some of the rules around Football Transfers are set to change after the European Court ofjustice found in favour of the former Arsenal And Chelsea Player Lassana Diarra in his long running legal battle with fifa. The former france international sued the Governing Body for damages after his contract with Lokomotive Moscow was terminated ten years ago and a subsequent move to belgian Side Charleroi was effectively blocked. The Court Ofjustice found that some of fifas existing transfer rules impede the free movement of players. Patrick gearey reports.

The dutchman has been under increased scrutiny after a poor run of results. They scored a late goal to salvage a draw at porto in the Europa League last night but are without a win in four.

Jim ratcliffe speaking to our Sports Editor<\/a> Dan Roan<\/a> in barcelona, where he has been watching that Louis Vuitton Cup<\/a> final, his ineos company, the chief backer of the brittania boat. Ben stokes is a doubt for the first test against pakistan that starts on monday. The England Skipper<\/a> tore his hamstring in August Playing<\/a> in the hundred and missed three tests against Sri Lanka<\/a>, but he had hoped to be fit for the start of this series. Our chief Cricket Writer<\/a> Stephan Shemilt<\/a> spoke to me from multan where the first two tests are taking place. I think its more that this Test Matches<\/a> just coming up i think its more that this Test Matchesjust<\/a> coming up it i think its more that this Test Matches<\/a> just coming up it too soon rather than a setback in the entry. It was a pretty severe Hamstring Injury<\/a> that Ben Stokes<\/a> suffered in the superchargers in the hundred back at the beginning of august. He missed that series against Sri Lanka<\/a>, hes been honest about his recovery, he said he was fit or is to be fit to play in this first test against Pakistan And Multan<\/a> which he probably would not be able to bowl. Hes trained with the today, that in the net, but every indication hes about to play in this first test on monday, so whether or not hes going to be fit to be plate and the rest of the series and also whether or not hes going to be able to play a full role as an all around her. Or if he doesnt play at all, england have got experience in dealing with and almost curiously actually, stokes being rolled out altogether solves a little bit of a problem for england. If stokes is to play in the Team And Wasnt<\/a> able to bowl, in the summer they compensated that, if i was going to be the option again england would have to drop one of their Front Line<\/a> batterers. England would have to drop one of Theirfront Line<\/a> batterers. So actually, it probably makes a little bit more important for england If Stokes<\/a> is ruled out completely that it remains settled. Wicketkeeper and there will be Front Line<\/a> bowlers behind that. It and there will be Front Line<\/a> bowlers behind that behind that. It was a good summer for england behind that.

And if you think that pakistan have gone so long to bring Test Cricket<\/a> back to this country, they were playing their Test Matches<\/a> away following the attack on the Sri Lanka<\/a> team a number of years ago and also what a Fortress Pakistan<\/a> have had in home countries and when england won here 3 02 years ago, thats the first time a team and had completed a clean sweep here. White boat captain, theres a lot of chopper around the conditions england might face, pictures might be a little green. There is going to be a little green. There is going to be a little bit of an unknown for england what pakistan are getting and what conditions they are going to face. England will start the series as favourites. Its really unusual historically for. To here. At the Womens T20 World<\/a> cup, last years Runners Up<\/a> South Africa<\/a> have got off to a winning start thrashing the West Indies<\/a> in their Opening Match<\/a> in dubai. South africa chose to bowl with Nonkululeko Mlaba<\/a> the pick of their bowlers with four wickets for just 29 runs. It helped restrict the West Indies<\/a> to 118 from their 20 overs and South Africa<\/a> chased it Down<\/a> with ease. Captain Laura Wolvaardt<\/a> and Tazmin Brits<\/a> both made unbeaten half centuries as South Africa<\/a> won by ten wickets with more than two overs to spare. New zealand have also begun with a win. Captain Sophie Devine<\/a> hit an unbeaten 57 as they set india 161 to win, and india never got close. No batter making more than 15 runs, devine also took three catches including the final wicket as india were bowled out for 102 New Zealand<\/a> winning by 58 runs their first victory in 11 t20s. The premiership Womens Rugby<\/a> season starts tomorrow. Gloucester hartpury are the defending champions and Face Leicester<\/a> tigers On Sunday<\/a>. They are chasing an unprecedented hatrick of titles, but as our Rugby Reporter Sara<\/a> orchard told me, it promises to be another very close season. The most interesting thing about Gloucester Heartbreak<\/a> going for this trouble is actually their starting 15 will remain relatively unchanged and its all about consistency for them. Its more the rest of the leak really strengthen to try and challenge them i would say would say would be the main thing to watch out for. We say Gloucester Heartbreak<\/a> are going to a famous trouble, they will be frustrated each time theyve heard over the last week. When kobe hit they were denied that opportunity but Saracens Women<\/a> will certainly be challenging them as will the likes of bristol barros, may be lightning, will the likes of bristol barros, may be lightning, its will the likes of bristol barros, may be lightning, its going to be a very exciting season.

It will be very difficult, particularly at the l difficult, particularly at the moment with a lot of players on international duty, W Xv<\/a> and vancouver or maybe in Cape Town<\/a> or dubai, its a lot of pressure at the moment on the players that are still in the uk right now playing this weekend coming.

Will it be across the board, all of the teams are going to be missing some of their top players. In particular you mention Gloucester Heartbreak<\/a>, they have a number of internationals away particularly for england and wales.

Yeah, all of a sudden | Womens Rugby<\/a> we used to have a very rare that the two best teams in the world would play Each Other<\/a> and now weve got them again in the space of a month. But yes, an exciting fixture the Red Roses<\/a> against the black firms as you say there, beaten at twickenham a few weeks ago, and angle will be the favourites going into this. Ireland beat the black firms last weekend. As much as they are the five time World Champions<\/a> they do have a habit of having a Little A<\/a> year out from a World Cup<\/a> picking a year later to come back and take the top trophy so its going to be a fascinating matchup whatever ever have is this weekend. Wales play in the second tier of the wxv tournament, and have suffered back to back defeats after a narrow loss to italy. They lost by over 30 points to australia in their opening fixture, this was a much lower Scoring Affair<\/a> in Cape Town<\/a>, trailing 8 5 in the dying moments they had one last chance to snatch a win but were denied by some heroic italy defending. Wales must beat japan next friday or face relegation. Were just over a week away from Super League<\/a>s grand final, wigan, who finished top in the regular Season Face Leigh<\/a> Leopards Tomorrow<\/a> in their semifinal, but the first of the Semi Finals<\/a> is just pover an hour away as hull Kingston Rovers<\/a> take on warrington, Matt Dean<\/a> is there. Well, this corner of East Hull<\/a> certainly seems like the happening place to be right now. Coldplay recently announced that theyll be playing a couple of dates here next year, but Tonight Hull<\/a> Kingston Rovers<\/a> versus warrington is without doubt the headline act. The first of the Super League<\/a> play off Semi Finals<\/a> is a hugely significant one for both of these clubs. Rovers are desperate to claim their first piece of major silverware since 1985, and are enjoying their best season in decades. Theyll be backed by a sold out crowd this evening, after their second Place Finish<\/a> during the regular season earned them a week off last week. Whilst warrington had the high emotion of that Stirring Comeback Victory<\/a> against saint helens in golden point. Extra time to set up this match. You wouldnt rule out further Drama Tonight<\/a> and the fans are well prepared for an epoch. It will be an epoch because there is going to be a tight game, but welljust persevere at the End And Win<\/a> by maybe six to eight points. As a rovers fan, its been really, really special to be. |to be up there constantly has beenj something we could only dream of. So yeah, its beenl really, really good. Its been a good season. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Its where we need to be. 1976 i started, Roger Millward<\/a> all the old lads. How do these days compare . Very close, but weve not done it yet. Well, Hull Kr<\/a> are favourites to make it through to their very first grand final. Having been such a dominant force here at home this season. Theyve lost just twice here at craven park, but warrington are one of the two away teams to have prevailed here, so will No Doubt<\/a> take a lot of heart from that. The winners will face the victors of the other semifinal between wigan and leigh. They play tomorrow. Kick off here tonight is at 8 00 and you can follow the action on the Bbc Sport Website<\/a> and app, and also listen on Bbc Radio<\/a> five live sports extra. The first game in the nfls annual London Series<\/a> is On Sunday<\/a> at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium<\/a> with the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> taking on the new yorkjets. The vikings, along with reigning Super Bowl<\/a> champs kansas are yet to lose a game this season, but have to find a way to intercept the Jets Star Quarter<\/a> back aaron rodgers, something the Minneosota Heach Coach<\/a> Kevin Oconnell<\/a> knows will be a tough ask. They are really good team and i think Darren Rogers<\/a> is one of the best quarterbacks to have played in our league. Nobody i respect more at that position. Ive known him for a long time, he is so incredibly talented, maybe one of the best pure throwers of the football that weve had in our league, and yet so smart, ability to see the whole field, he knows everything going on all the time and youre really not going to pull one over on him. Youd better be prepared, youd better do your job on a snap and snap out basis, because if you dont, it can make you look silly in a hurry. And if hes healthy again, its great to see him healthy again, that injury was so unfortunate. I know, for that organisation and the excitement they had, they are off to a good start and i think aaron is going to be a huge challenge but i think the new yorkjets as a whole, that defence is phenomenal. Garrett wilson at the receiver spot, is phenomenal. Garrett wilson at the receiverspot, breese is phenomenal. Garrett wilson at the receiver spot, Breese Hall<\/a> at the running back spot, theyve got some really impactful players at the old line position. This is a team youd better play well in all three phases or youre not going to give yourself a chance to win the game, so it will be in a chance to win the game, so it will be an incredible challenge. This week, duncan ferguson, the Inverness Caledonian Thistle<\/a> manager, revealed that he is working for nothing at the Scottish League One<\/a> side. That came after the Clubs Board<\/a> appealed to their supporters to raise \u00a3200,000 by the middle of this month to keep The Club<\/a> afloat, with \u00a31. 5 million needed to see them through to The End<\/a> of the season. Rosemary webb runs the supporters travel club. Asi as i said, we are devastated but hopeful. Theres been so much mismanagement really by the directors, the chairman and the ceo, its just incredible the levels of things that have not been happening or happening. Theres a meeting on Monday Night<\/a> at the stadium which the supporters are going to put a lot of questions to be answers and i think the feeling at the moment is do we put, individually money into this fund, where does that actually go .

Hello there. Good evening. Cloudier today towards the northwest, with some patchy outbreaks of rain. But for much of england and wales, another dry day with blue Sky And Sunshine<\/a> helping to showcase some of these very pretty Autumn Colours<\/a> around. And theres more sunshine on offer to you on saturday. Largely dry with some rain again out towards the northwest, but by Sunday Cloudier<\/a> across the board with patchy outbreaks of rain. So quite a difference in the days as we head through the weekend, but High Pressure<\/a> has been dominant today. Its been squeezed further eastwards as we head through tonight, with these approaching Weather Fronts<\/a> from the west that are likely to throw more Cloud Into Eastern Scotland<\/a> Down<\/a> through northern england, too. Outbreaks of rain for north west england, some more showers across Northern Ireland<\/a>, but underneath the cloud and the rain to the northwest, of course, it is a milder night. Temperatures in double figures, but perhaps temperatures dropping to mid single figures underneath clear skies, and really quite chilly Feeling Air<\/a> further south and east. But there wont be quite as much Mist And Fog<\/a> around Tomorrow Morning<\/a> as we saw earlier on this morning. And thats because the southerly wind is starting to pick up with these approaching Weather Fronts<\/a>. So this is saturday, then. Therell be some more rain out towards the west, some of it heavy and more persistent across Northern Ireland<\/a> into northwest scotland. A Freshening Southerly<\/a> to south easterly wind blowing, particularly up through these Irish Sea<\/a> coasts. But again, for much of england and wales the sunshine is just set to continue. And in the best of that, some of our temperatures could peak at 16 18 celsius, which is just slightly above the seasonal average. And then on saturday into sunday well our fronts, driven by this area of Low Pressure<\/a>, start to make further inroads. So its a cloudier looking day, the Cloud Thickening<\/a> from the west as we head through the morning into the afternoon. Patchy outbreaks of rain almost anywhere, perhaps, but some heavier Down<\/a>pours approaching Western Wales<\/a> and the far southwest of england as we head through the afternoon, and then slowly slipping further eastwards. Still, with that warm southerly wind, temperatures will be slightly above the average, 14 17 degrees, but the winds turn more south westerly as those fronts continue to roll their way northwards and eastwards as we head through Sunday Night<\/a> and into monday. So were all likely to see a spell of rain for a time, and it turns really quite showery, very unsettled as we head through the start of next week. By wednesday and thursday it could turn very wet and very windy, so do keep an eye on the forecast. Bye bye for now. Its 7pm in london. This is the World Today<\/a> with maryam moshiri.
