8:30 pm
hello. we're starting at the rugby world cup where hosts france can seal their place in the quarter finals with victory over italy. we're about half an hour into their match in lyon and france are already well ahead. they are leading 24—0. italy have never got through to the knock—out stages of a world cup and it's not looking likely this time. they need to beat france with a bonus point to guarantee to do that this time. but france are well ahead already. it's day two of the cricket world cup and pakistan began their campaign with a comfortable win over the netherlands. they beat them by 81 runs in hyderabad asjoe lynsky 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. paul spent the lockdown is a delivery driver but now much of this

team of 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. to reach 287 would take all of the dutch courage. 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. but this world cup as their platform and through it all they will keep smiling. football and paul pogba's failed drugs test has been confirmed with a positive result in his b sample. the former manchester united and nowjuventus midfielder was suspended in august after an initial random drugs test found elevated levels of testosterone in his system. if the 30—year—old world cup winner is found guilty of doping, he could be banned for between two and four years.

elsewhere, the row over var continues. liverpool were denied a goal against spurs at the weekend which turned out to be an error. they lost the game. so to try to prevent more incidents, this weekend, the off—field field var will confirm the outcome of decisions before notifying the on—field referee. the subject has been the talk of all the pre—match press conferences today. it was a mistake, except it. it's always difficult, humans make mistakes but machines have to avoid it. that's why the var is to reduce humans making the mistakes that we do. but at the end, the machines have been leaked. it happened, with a mistake and hopefully we finish and getting better, improving. i trust the var and how we manage the var~ _ i trust the var and how we manage

8:34 pm
plans are still uncertain and beijing officials have yet to give their approval. in 2022, joe biden and xi jinping held a meeting at the g20 summit in bali. it was the last time the two presidents were seen holding talks together. a little earlier, mr biden was asked about a meeting. this is what he had to say. asa as a warning it is quite quick. there is no such meeting set up but it is a possibility. they go. i told you it was brief. live now to danny russel — former assistant secretary of state for east asian and pacific affairs, and special assistant to the president for asia under barack 0bama. currently vice president at the asia society policy institute. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the rouramme. . ~ , ., ., ., programme. thank you. glad to “oin. first of an, — programme. thank you. glad to “oin. first of all. do _ programme. thank you. glad to “oin. first of all, do you i programme. thank you. glad to “oin. first of all, do you think i programme. thank you. glad to “oin. first of all, do you think this i programme. thank you. glad to join. first of all, do you think this will- first of all, do you think this will go ahead next month? i first of all, do you think this will go ahead next month?— first of all, do you think this will go ahead next month? i think it is more likely _ go ahead next month? i think it is more likely than _ go ahead next month? i think it is more likely than not. _ go ahead next month? i think it is more likely than not. although . go ahead next month? i think it isj more likely than not. although we don't know, the chinese always like to keep their options open. they are tactical when it comes to washington

to wrestle with the agenda and the issues. and i see that the chinese system itself doing the things it would expect it would do to prepare whilst that is not a guarantee it is certainly a clue. and whilst president xijinping certainly a clue. and whilst president xi jinping skipped the recent conference in india that he must understand that if he fails to attend the impact meeting which is something that chinese presidents always go to, that would ignite a lot of speculation about, maybe he is in trouble at home, the economy is in trouble at home, the economy is so bad in china, all sorts of things that china don't want to be seen as. ,., �* , things that china don't want to be seen as. ,., �*, ., ~ ., seen as. ok, so let's work on the basis that — seen as. ok, so let's work on the basis that it _ seen as. ok, so let's work on the basis that it is _ seen as. ok, so let's work on the basis that it is going _ seen as. ok, so let's work on the basis that it is going ahead. - seen as. ok, so let's work on the basis that it is going ahead. we l basis that it is going ahead. we don't know. why does it matter? why is a meeting between these two men so significant?— so significant? well, it is significant. _ so significant? well, it is

significant. a _ so significant? well, it is significant. a leader - so significant? well, it is - significant. a leader meeting, isn't going to cure all the onus is on the us china relationship. but on the other hand, the only thing that can keep the relationship from getting worse is a leaders meeting. xi jinping has amassed so much power in the system that if you are not talking to him, you might be wasting your time. talking to him, you might be wasting yourtime. it talking to him, you might be wasting your time. it is very hard to get decisions made or behaviour changed by going to lower ranked officials. the chinese system takes its cue from the leader. so if xijinping decides to travel to the us, sit down with biden and talk through the issues that is a signal for the entire chinese system that it is ok to engage with american counterparts, it is kind of permission. and the... 0k. interesting. _ permission. and the... 0k. interesting. this _ permission. and the... 0k.

now, thank you for coming on the programme. over the past few months, a new weight loss trend has been getting a lot of attention — especially in the us. weight—loss injections had until recently only been prescribed to people with diabetes. but the us food and drug administration approved them as a treatment for chronic obesity. however, new research has found that these appetite—supressing injections can cause severe side—effects, including stomach paralysis and pancreatitis and doctors have called for warnings to be placed on the drugs. the drugs manufacturer novo—nordisk has responded to the findings, saying it "stands behind the safety and efficacy of all of our glp—1ra medicines when used consistent with the product labeling and approved indications." the injections are apparently taking hollywood by storm and even elon musk has admitted they are the secret to his physique.

8:43 pm
very important to make sure that patients are aware of these potential adverse risks, although rare they may happen. it's very important that, you know, patients are monitored closely by their physician and they are made aware of these particular adverse effects so they can make that decision whether or not they choose to continue using these or initiating therapy with these or initiating therapy with these medications to help them reach their goals. i these medications to help them reach their coals. , , .,, ., their goals. i see. the people who are watching _ their goals. i see. the people who are watching this _ their goals. i see. the people who are watching this and _ their goals. i see. the people who are watching this and haven't - their goals. i see. the people who| are watching this and haven't been aware of this before it maybe do have a problem with their weight and on now interested in this, what would your message be? i on now interested in this, what would your message be? i think that those people — would your message be? i think that those people who — would your message be? i think that those people who are _ would your message be? i think that those people who are in _ would your message be? i think that those people who are in the - would your message be? i think that those people who are in the high - those people who are in the high levels _ those people who are in the high levels of— those people who are in the high levels of weight, people who are really _ levels of weight, people who are really obese, they are the people that these drugs are aimed at, they are the _ that these drugs are aimed at, they are the people who really struggle

8:46 pm
about the money, is that? for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. here in the uk, a year away from an expected general election, the labour party is celebrating a key by—election win in the rutherglen and hamilton west seat in scotland. the vote came about after former scottish national party mp margaret ferrier was ousted by her constituents for breaking covid rules. labour said taking the seat from them as a "seismic" result. nationally, of course labour is the second biggest party in parliament, behind the conservatives. 0ur scotland editorjames cook reports from rutherglen. michael shanks, scottish labour party, 17,840... applause. applause labour didn'tjust win here, they triumphed. the snp didn'tjust lose, they were trounced. my campaign has been focused on offering people
8:47 pm
here a fresh start, a break away from the divisiveness and distraction of two failing governments and to give a voice to those who are too often voiceless in our society. applause a few short hours and several gallons of coffee later, the sun was shining on sir keir starmer, labourjumping forjoy. when i left here a week ago with the team, i said, - "you've got to win it." you blew the doors off! there's a real release of pent—up emotion here. these activists have waited a long time for this moment, and they hope — he hopes — that he'll be heading to downing street eventually as a result of their work. are you now heading to downing street? look, we have been on a journeyl since 2019 to get the labour party from our worst election result to a labour majority. - for me, that always...the road always ran through scotland. l
8:48 pm
with victory here, labour now have two scottish seats at westminster, but they have their eyes on another couple of dozen, at least. this is a result that suggests that politics in scotland could be returning to the picture that we had before the 2014 independence referendum. indeed if the swings in rutherglen were to be reflected across scotland as a whole, labour would be back to the 40 or so seats that they had in 2010 and the snp would once again be a rump ofjust a half a dozen at mps. a rump ofjust a half a dozen mps. and that puts the snp leader under severe pressure. i'm the leader of the snp. the buck absolutely does stop with me, but i think everybody knows that this particular by—election has some very difficult contextual factors around it. margaret ferrier's reckless actions, of course, came up time and time again. and the police investigation, of course, that's engulfed the party over the last few months again came up on a number of doorsteps. it was also a terrible by—election for the conservatives, whose vote simply collapsed. i think it's so tempting
8:49 pm
to extrapolate a lot. from one single by—election. a general election is i quite some way off yet. i think what we saw last night. was a continuation of what we've been seeing in scotland over a few months actually, and that - is a coming together- of the unionist vote to stop the snp being successful. can i ask you what you thought of the by—election result? yes, yes! tell me why. because the snp have just absolutely messed everything up, to be fair. and i think it's good that labour are back in. it was predictable. we knew that it was going to happen, but it doesn't really matter. it's more tory austerity. it's just that keir starmer's going to continue in the same theme as the tories, so no change there. so you want independence, but you didn't vote for the snp. why? because, i don't know, they're just a bit of a shambles now. _ they don't seem to have - independence on their agenda. it'sjust been year. after year of "we're
8:50 pm
going to have a referendum", and itjust never happens. - polls suggest the snp's troubles have not actually affected support for independence, but both labour and the tories insist the union is more secure tonight. james cook, bbc news, rutherglen. away from politics and under sport. the rugby world cup is going on. france, the hosts are playing italy right now. they are 31—0 ahead so they look to be pretty much in control in that game. there is a big game tomorrow, that is ireland versus scotland. ireland are favourites, the number one team in the world. scotland, well, it is a crucial game. they have got to win convincingly or they are heading home. live now to fiona hayes — a former ireland international rugby player and john hosie — a scotland supporter.

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 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 24—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
8:57 pm
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.
