Because they have an amazing team, that is why we love them. In yokohama and back in england, the faces of the fans said it all. The nations rugby team had come so close, even defeating the all blacks but today they were systematically beaten. From the start we didnt look like we were going to win it. I am absolutely gutted.

The japanese people have welcomed rugby with open arms, many new friendships and new rugby fans made. The springboks triumph was met with huge celebrations ina in a moment we will be speaking to Nelson Mandelas grandson. So speaking to Nelson Mandelas grandson here, on bbc news, really looking forward to that. The springboks triumph was met with huge celebrations back in south africa.

Today, all the rainbow nation are sharing in the victory, as Andrew Harding reports from johannesburg. Its always good to win. Back home in south africa today, ecstatic celebrations nationwide.

Congratulations to the springboks and thank you for bringing it back home. Hard luck, england. You tried. Sorry. We are over the moon, what a game, this is the biggest world cup in the world, and this is the sport that unites us as South Africans. And then a message home from a victorious team. Thank you so much, south africa. This is what we can do as a team when we decide on one goal, so thank you very much. Cheering here in south africa, kolisi has become an iconic figure, the springboks first black captain, a symbol of hope and progress. For years the news from south africa has been relentlessly bad, corruption, inequality, a country losing its way. Does today change that . Of course not, but the victory is a reminder of the Bigger Picture of how much has changed here since the days of racial apartheid. This is, after all, a vibrant, young democracy, with a world beating rugby team. Andrew harding, bbc news, johannesburg. Well in 1995, Nelson Mandela was there to present the trophy to captain Francois Pienaar after he lead the springboks first world cup win. It was an historic moment for the nation just a year after the end of apartheid. Today, 2a years later, siya kolisi, the sprinboks first ever black captain was the man to lift the trophy in another landmark moment for rainbow nation. And watching from new york was Nelson Mandelas grandson, ndaba mandela, and hejoins me now. Thank you very much for speaking to us thank you very much for speaking to us here at bbc news. You know what . The number six, kolisi, the first black man to captain the springboks, your grandfather came a huge significance there. How did you feel when he first saw him carrying the weight of history there on his back . Imean, weight of history there on his back . I mean, that was an absolutely proud moment for me. You know, to see a black man really being able to achieve his dreams, because you know, you can imagine, looking at oui know, you can imagine, looking at our history but there are many young people who feel they dont belong and dont feel welcome and that sports, and that we have a captain who has let us to our third victory of the world cup. Ndaba said that sports can unite a nation, and today we heard kolisi talk about, you know, this is what we can achieve if we put our minds together and we work together. Thats a huge burden for a sport to take on, isnt it . Well, i mean, it is a burden, but if you look at the world that we are living in, there are only two things that can really unite people, and that can really unite people, and that sports and music. So it is a role that sports must play, you know, to carry out the next generation to give them hope to allow them to dream and to make sure that young people in to the neck understand that they are the masters of their universe. This is a huge sort of world that sports plays, and thats why sports are so important in society. You know, going back, we have seen so in society. You know, going back, we have seen so many in society. You know, going back, we have seen so many pictures today, and many of the young today will not understand the significance of that shot of your grandfather with friends while pr put next to the picture of kolisi lifting that trophy. You know, because back in those days, South Africans, black South Africans would support any tea m South Africans would support any team apart from the springboks, because there was no love for rugby. Just explain to us how thatjourney has transformed from when your grandfather donned the number six. Well, you know, my grandfather was very instrumental in making sure that black people supported sports. They didnt support the sports because it was monopolized by white people, and white people did not actually welcome any black players to partake on the team. And since my grandfathers leadership, he actually went against the grain, right . Led the government to make sure that they supported the team. And since then, you know, we have had a lot of fights within the rugby union. But its all been leading up to this moment. So you see, its another show to the world to say that you can actually believe in your dreams. You can actually work together, different races, different people, coming together. You know, if they, like our captain said, work together, they can make anything happen. You are very close to mediaeval, you are certainly with him in the final years of his life. Did he other reflect on that moment . Well, not really, but i think its a moment that he was very proud of. Of course, he was the first black president , and he was supporting a springboks that had not fully welcomed the new rainbow nation. So i think he is a man that since today looks upon us very proudly, smiling, that the dream of the rainbow nation is possible, it just that the dream of the rainbow nation is possible, itjust needs us to work at it. You know, 24 years on, south africa still is a very fractured nation, perhaps its unfairto fractured nation, perhaps its unfair to assume that it would transform overnight, what sort of work is being done to bring the nation together . What sort of work do you do . Well, i have been running this operation are for the past nine yea rs, this operation are for the past nine years, and its all about empowering young people in the rural areas of south africa. We have education, technology, and cultural programmes, and also career guidance. We work with the people who are the most marginalised and the poorest to give an opportunity to learn about computers, technology, agriculture, and guide them as far as their careers are concerned. You can imagine young people growing up on farm areas dont believe they can become a vet or a pilot or a scientist, you know, natural scientist, you know, natural scientist for that matter. So its really important work that we do in south africa. Yes, 25 years is not really a long time, thats only one generation concerned with the fact that we have been enslaved and apartheid for almost 100 years. 0k, what sort of reaction was there when kolisi was named as captain . believe most of the black people are very proud and happy, and i dont think, not all the way people are happy, but you know, given this victory, i think everybody is on the same page today. 0k, victory, i think everybody is on the same page today. Ok, so how do you think we can take south africas victory, the springboks victory today, and use it . What we can do is today, and use it . What we can do is to show young people, and people in general, notjust to show young people, and people in general, not just young to show young people, and people in general, notjust young people, that actually, you know, when you are black, whether you are white, it doesnt matter. We all have wea knesses doesnt matter. We all have weaknesses we all have strengths, but if we come together, we can eliminate our weaknesses and really make sure that our strengths go to the next level. This demonstrates that the rainbow nation is alive, and its real, and it can become even better. 0k, and its real, and it can become even better. Ok, lets leave the politics to one side. Ndaba, urinalysis, lets finish up on your analysis of the match. Because thats what people are really excited about. I mean to him its a great comeback, considering they lost in the pool stages. What did you think of todays match . Todays match was absolutely fantastic. I thought our defence was on point. The first half was quite close, it was really more of a kicking contest. At the second half we came out you know, and i wasjust contest. At the second half we came out you know, and i was just really amazed. At first try, they really set it up for the last try, number 14, coming in there and just killing its you know . Ceiling that victory. Imean it its you know . Ceiling that victory. I mean it was really a proud day. Because to consider our matches before that didnt play that well, and for us to be able to rise to the occasion and the final was really a volcanic eruption today. I was really amazed. 0k, volcanic eruption today. I was really amazed. Ok, you know what, its been a lot of fun talking to you. Ndaba, im surprised you are not having a bright out in the garden. Thank you very much. You might it thank you, thank you. Thank you. That wasnt ndaba mandela, grandson of the great medica, speaking to us following the springboks victory in japan. Speaking to us following the springboks victory injapan. 0k, well coming up next, you are watching bbc news. Coming up next, we are going to look through our main headlines, and plenty more as well. But until then, main headlines, and plenty more as well. But untilthen, lets main headlines, and plenty more as well. But until then, lets move on to other news. We have a little bit more on the news that the government has announced that it is suspending fracking in england for the foreseeable future. The ban comes after a Technical Report said it was not possible to predict the probability or seriousness of earth tremors caused by extracting shale gas from the ground. Labour, the liberal democrats and the green party have all called for a permanent ban. Our Business Correspondent Katie Prescott reports. Its farewell to fracking, for now. These campaigners in lancashire couldnt be happier to see the back of it. Were delighted about it, its what weve been hoping for all the time. We dont trust them, of course. They could change their mind yet. Its good news, obviously. Its good news for the whole country, but in particular here, where people have put up with this for the best part of three years now. All this stuff going on for no apparent gain. So, three years, all that money pumped in, all that effort, and theyve produced next to nothing. The process of extracting shale gas is one of the most controversial of our time. Using pressurised water and chemicals to break up rock causes minor earthquakes. Today, the oil and gas regulator says the impact on these communities is unacceptable, which Means Companies must stop the operations. In the past borisjohnson has called fracking glorious news for humanity. But the government says it has changed its mind. There is no doubt that extracting more natural gas in the United Kingdom would be very attractive but weve always been clear, we can only do that if it can be done safely. We will follow the science, so in future, should the ability to be certain about seismic events and so on, we will look at it again. The government had hoped sites like these would transform our energy policy. Creating home grown sources of power that would reduce our gas imports. Frackings industry body says. But the green party says fracking is a fantasy and want to see a permanent ban. Labour say they fear the governments stance could be an election ploy. I think it sounds like fracking would come back on the 13th of december if they were elected back into office. We are quite clear, we will end fracking. The big question now is whether the industry will be willing to invest any more money here, in the hope that the science will one day find in their favour in the regulation could change. Katie prescott, bbc news. And well find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 30pm and 11 30pm this evening in the papers. Our guestsjoining me tonight are martin lipton, whos chief Sports Reporter at the sun, and bonnie greer, playwright, author and columnist for the new european newspaper. The headlines on bbc news. The time is 17 minutes past seven from lets remind ourselves of the headlines. South africa have won the Rugby World Cup final after convincingly beating england 32 12 at yokohama injapan. The government halts fracking for gas in england until there is evidence the controversial process is safe. High winds and rain sweep southern england and wales, with one woman killed after her car was struck by a falling tree in dorset. Well, whilst celebrations are still going on in south africa. England fans are wondering what went wrong for the team. Here to give us his insight is huw richards former welsh rugby player. Thank you forjoining us on bbc news. So what went wrong . Actually something went slightly wrong there, im nota something went slightly wrong there, im not a former welsh rugby player, hes my namesake. Otherwise, i dont think its a question so much of what went wrong, its what went right in south africa. South africa did everything you could hope of on the team. England who played brilliantly last week, essentially, we re brilliantly last week, essentially, were unable to break out what happened. Do you think they were also slightly overwhelmed by expectations going out onto that field . I wouldnt have thought so, i think, its always easier when youre side has lost to look for what went wrong. I think it was a lwa ys what went wrong. I think it was always known that south africa were going to be a very tough team to play against. We saw what they did against wales last week, when of course they had been in a longer struggle to win, but you can see what they were capable of. So i dont think theres any sense of englands you know, choking or anything like that, its a possible argument that they played their absolute best last week, and of course, its worth remembering, england orfor the course, its worth remembering, england or for the last two weekends have beaten australia and new zealand, which is an extraordinary achievement. To overcome that and beat south africa as well is sort of a triple crown, it wouldve been an extraordinary achievement. Yes, a lot of people saying that the final really took place in the match between new zealand. Very quickly before we leave you, wales, how do you think they did the tournament . actually thought wales might win the world cup, they have won nine world cup some is the first time ever, it was the first time they had gone to the semi final comment i thought they really might be on their way through. In the end, what they couldnt do was cope with some of the power and focus of the South Africans, but thats of course the story of the world cup as a whole this time around. Either way, however when, it has been a great tournament. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Bbc news, its 20 minutes past seven now. A woman in her 60s has been killed after her car was struck by a falling tree in dorset. High winds of up to 100 miles an hour and heavy rain have brought down trees onto roads and railway lines.
