as is so often the case, virat kohli made the headlines. he scored 117 — a record 50th one—day century, overtaking sachin tendulkar in the process. he was well supported, though. shreyas iyer added 105 and subman gill scored 80, as india posted a huge 397—4 from their 50 overs — the highest score in a men's world cup knockout game. for a while new zealand looked in contention to chase it down, thanks to daryl mitchell's century, but wickets fell around him and eventually scoreboard pressure took its toll, with the black caps bowled out for 327. mohammed shami taking a remarkable 7—57. well, india will face either south africa or australia, who play on thursday. it's already been a world cup winning year for south africa after success in rugby union and captain temba bavuma admits he and his teammates have been inspired by what the springboks achieved. this i think to a large degree we look at them in all, the springboks, and how they have gone about their back—to—back wins within the world cup. 0bviously, back—to—back wins within the world cup. obviously, the way they won it this year with the knockout games being quite close, and again how that resilience, how that do or die attitude, that is what we have been speaking about as a team so when the crunch moments can we come together as a team and we find a way to get over the line. pakistan were considered to be a dark horse at the cricket world cup, but after they failed to reach the semifinals, babar azam has resigned as captain. the batter has stepped away from leading the team in all formats having been captain of the one day team from 2019 and taking over the test side in 2021. pakistan finished fifth in the world cup table, winning four of their nine matches. a resignation too in golf, as rory mcilroy has stepped away from his role with the pga's tour policy board. the tour is currently involved in negotiations on how to fund its future, which could mean joining forces with saudi—invested liv golf, of which mcilroy has been hugely critical. he's also admitted he felt like a "sacrificial lamb" after a secret agreement between both traditional tours and the saudi private investment fund was announced this summer. burglars have broken into world champion south africa rugby�*s headquarters in cape town, but weren't able to take the webb ellis trophy, which wasn't at risk. south african journalist yusuf abramjee has shared this footage showing one of the burglars touching a replica, but not taking it with them. instead, they stole some whisky, five signed springbok jerseys and eight laptops, while the world cup was locked in a safe. manchester united are having another change in the boardroom, with a second chief executive deciding to leave in under two years. the club have announced richard arnold will stand down in december. he's worked at old trafford for 16 years, but only replaced ed woodward as ceo in february last year. arnold's departure comes asjim ratcliffe�*s ineos group prepares to finalise its minority purchase of united. general counsel patrick stewart will take over the role on an interim basis. carlos alcaraz has got his world tour finals campaign back on track, after securing his first win of the tournament. he beat andrey rublev in straight sets in turin, winning 7—5, 6—2. it's back—to—back defeats for rublev, who now cannot make the semifinals, so a frustrating afternoon for russian, who hit himself on the knee so hard mid—match after losing a point that he drew blood. alexander zverev plays daniil medvedev later. that's all the sport for now. rishi sunak has announced he will bring in emergency legislation that will confirm that rwanda is a safe country, after the supreme court ruled that the scheme to send asylum—seekers there is unlawful. in a significant blow to the prime minister, five judges unanimously ruled against his flagship policy, which aims to stop illegal migration. on human rights" and also that, if refugees went to rwanda, there'd be a "a real risk" of them being sent back to the countries they'd originally left. in a press conference moments ago, rishi sunak warned european courts not to block the flights. he also stressed that the court had confirmed sending migrants to a safe third country was lawful. today, the supreme court has judged that the rwanda policy requires a set of changes in order to be lawful. i do not agree with this decision, but i respect it and accept it. the rule of law is fundamental to our democracy. we have prepared for all outcomes of this case, and so we have been working on a new international treaty with rwanda. this will provide a guarantee in law that those who are relocated from the uk to rwanda will be protected against removal from rwanda. and it will make clear that we will bring back anyone if ordered to do so by a court. we will finalise the treaty in light of today's judgement and ratify it without delay, but we need to end the merry—go—round. i said i was going to fundamentally change our country and i meant it. so i'm also announcing today that we will take the extraordinary step of introducing emergency legislation. this will enable parliament to confirm that, with our new treaty, rwanda is safe. it will ensure that people cannot further delay flights by bringing systemic challenges in our domestic courts and stop our policy being repeatedly blocked. but, of course, we must be honest about the fact that even once parliament has changed the law here at home, we could still face challenges from the european court of human rights in strasbourg. i told parliament earlier today that i'm prepared to change our laws and revisit those international relationships to remove the obstacles in our way. so let me tell everybody now, i will not allow a foreign court to block these flights. if the strasbourg court chooses to intervene against the expressed wishes of parliament, i am prepared to do what is necessary to get flights off. i was speaking to a barrister earlier and he said rishi sunak would not be able to change the law to make his rwanda plan to go. he said ministers couldn't change the law because of refoulemen. this is not a case — law because of refoulemen. this is not a case of _ law because of refoulemen. this is not a case of tinkering _ law because of refoulemen. this is not a case of tinkering with - law because of refoulemen. this is not a case of tinkering with the -- | not a case of tinkering with the —— an existing agreement, you can't say we need to perfect the original agreement and put in place a new one. there are systemic, fundamental structural problems with the way in which their lanterns to asylum law. they will proceed on the basis that a person who comes must come free of forged documents. they proceed on the basis you must apply on arrival, but they do not come on that basis. there had been a previous agreement between rwanda and the state of israel whereby israel dealt with its eritrean refugees by sending them over again, a very similar arrangement, and it made it quite clear that there were fundamental human rights obligations of the rwandan authorities and yet the rwandan authorities and yet the rwandan authorities and yet the rwandan authorities did not observe those human rights obligations. inflation in the country has fallen sharply to its lowest level in two years. official figures show the rate at which prices are rising was 4.6% in the year to october. in november last year it was 10.7%. 0ur chief economics correspondent dharshini david has more. it's the very factor that turned up the heat on inflation, wholesale gas prices, which caused it to drop last month after a cut in the domestic energy price cap. news to warm the chancellor's heart. there's lots more work to do. we still have to bring inflation down to its target level of 2%. but now we are beginning to win the battle against inflation. we can move to the next part of our economic plan, which is the long term growth of the british economy. here at the treasury, they'll be cheering the fact that inflation fell to 4.6%, allowing the government to say its pledge to halve that rate this year has been met. but it still means many items are getting more expensive and the work to bring down that inflation rate hasn't happened so much here...as here. the independent bank of england raising interest rates 1a times, increasing mortgage repayments by over £10 billion, so dampening spending and prices of non—essentials. and even more of the action has happened away from here, on global commodity prices, determining energy, food costs, wherever those may hail from. across the country in milford haven in pembrokeshire, many of those higher costs are still leaving a bitter aftertaste. food costs 10% more than a year ago. eating out is almost 8% dearer. with everything going up, with a rise of the gas, electric, it's just really hard. we're getting by, to be honest. its customers, too, are still feeling the squeeze, with many prices still climbing. it doesn't feel like things have come down. a lot of things have gone up, car insurance, the council tax. we're going through a lot more gas and electricity, even though we're trying to use less. we're reducing the amount of time that we might have the heat on, i if we put it on at all. there may not be much more relief soon. bills are not as high as they were last winter by some significant margin, particularly when you take into account government support. but compared to what people were paying two, three, four years ago, it will still feel a lot higher. well, of course, it's welcome that inflation has come down from record highs. but the truth is, during the course of this parliament, the cost of living crisis has hit hard for working families. last month may have served up lower inflation, but prices are still rising faster than in many other rich countries and outpacing many people's incomes. conquering this cost of living crisis isn't quite in the bag yet. the bbc has found a booming black market in weight loss injections. i was extremely ill. i was retching and there was nothing left anymore. all my stomach acids had been thrown up. blood, white foam. horrendous. maddie ended up in a&e after taking a knock off weight loss drug she bought online. the diabetes drug 0zempic, which has semaglutide as its active ingredient, made headlines last year for being hollywood's secret weight loss drug, causing demand to spiral. my friend recommended this instagram account where she got these weight loss injections from. so that's where the lip king came in. so this is a mixing video of the semaglutide. - this is your actual supplements. this is what you'rel going to be mixing. the nausea, even when the vomiting stopped after i'd been given the drip and the anti—sickness, it continued for another seven to eight days after. i mean, it's quite shocking, to be honest, that maddie has no idea what she's taking. even if it is semaglutide, we don't know what the dose of that is. as pharmacies across the uk struggled to keep these medicines on the shelves, an illicit black market selling knock—off versions of the drugs began to flourish. medics have warned of the potential risks of people accidentally taking too much, especially if they are following incorrect instructions, which is what happened to maddie. your second week, you want to do 30 units. i your fourth week... i'm sorry, first week 20 units, second week 30.j it's completely the wrong advice. and these medications need to be prescribed by health care professionals. under uk law, you need a prescription to get this medicine. the uk's drug regulator, the mhra, said "purchasing from illegal suppliers means there are no safeguards to ensure products meet our quality and safety standards. and taking such medicines may put your health at risk." we put our allegations several times tojordan park, a.k.a. the lip king, but we've had no reply. right, good luck, guys. happy weight loss! despite warnings from health officials, this booming black market will continue to thrive, putting the public at risk until proper action is taken. aoife walsh, bbc news. hundreds of people in bristol spent a night away from home after a tour block was found to have hundreds of faults. another tower block standing empty because of safety concerns. an inspection here highlighted a potentially dangerous weakness. during that survey we uncovered a structural issue within three flats of the 98 within the building. we've asked everyone to leave. so last night they were packing to go, either to friends and family, or to evacuation centres. theyjust suddenly come knocking the door. "you have to leave." just this afternoon, this evening? just now, just now. ten minutes ago. i'm not going out. i want to stay in my flat. you don't want to leave? no. but where am i going? i have four kids. this building's 65 years old. sheila has lived here for 50. just got to get a few things. go and stay with somebody for a few days. we don't know what's happening with our furniture, everything that's inside. people here are wondering where they'll sleep and how long they'll be out of their homes. but the broader question is, does the structural issue that makes this tower block apparently now unsafe affect many others? there may be unique problems that are not present in the other blocks. all large panel system blocks have a structural weakness, and without adequate repair, they are prone to catastrophic collapse. it cracked all the way around, all over there. this morning, some residents were collecting belongings and pointing out issues. all the things i keep telling them about. i don't think it's safe to come back here. i ever? no, i don't think so. because, well, if they evacuate us within less than _ 24 hours, there's- something serious there. this block now stands as another symbol of the issues that have cursed our social housing. donjohnson, bbc news, bristol. the health service in england is setting a target for cervical cancer to be eliminated by 2040. the chief executive of nhs england, amanda pritchard, told a conference of health leaders today that the goal can be achieved — but only with improvements in vaccination and screening rates. i spoke to martin hunt, ceo ofjo's cervical cancer trust. todayis today is a monumental day in the fight against cervical cancer. we have been pressing for years for this kind of commitment, so we are delighted to see this announcement today. it will make a significant difference and hopefully make sure that we can eliminate cervical cancer from the population about 2040. ., ., , , . 2040. how achievable is it? the who said to net 2040. how achievable is it? the who said to get to — 2040. how achievable is it? the who said to get to go _ 2040. how achievable is it? the who said to get to go like _ 2040. how achievable is it? the who said to get to go like this _ 2040. how achievable is it? the who said to get to go like this you - 2040. how achievable is it? the who said to get to go like this you need . said to get to go like this you need 90% targets for vaccinations, 70% for screening. 90% targets for vaccinations, 70% forscreening. how 90% targets for vaccinations, 70% for screening. how far away army from those numbers? we for screening. how far away army from those numbers? we already have the tools and — from those numbers? we already have the tools and technologies _ from those numbers? we already have the tools and technologies to - from those numbers? we already have the tools and technologies to fight - the tools and technologies to fight this, what we need now is a partnership between the nhs, the voluntary sector and the public. 0bviously central government funding to make this ambition a reality. we are all set to move forward with that and we have been providing support for 25 years almost for people affected by cervical cancer. i know this is something very close to your heart, you are very personally involved. your sister had cervical cancer? my personally involved. your sister had cervical cancer?— cervical cancer? my sister-in-law, es. cervical cancer? my sister-in-law, yes- certainly _ cervical cancer? my sister-in-law, yes. certainly from _ cervical cancer? my sister-in-law, yes. certainly from her _ cervical cancer? my sister-in-law, | yes. certainly from her perspective there was the added problem of the covid lockdown, and in her case it was about missing our cervical smear test. that was a crucial stage for her and delaying made a significant difference in and caused significant impacts for her. from my point of view, working for this trust, it makes these kind of differences to people all along, the aim of the trust was always to provide support and information, so to be able to get over these barriers for the success of the strategy we need to be able to raise awareness and education, we need to empower people through knowledge, we need to make sure that access is for also inequalities and barriers are reduced. the workforce needs to be developed to make sure we have resources to deliver it. resources is one thing. _ resources to deliver it. resources is one thing, but _ resources to deliver it. resources is one thing, but it _ resources to deliver it. resources is one thing, but it is _ resources to deliver it. resources is one thing, but it is interesting l is one thing, but it is interesting what you just said because one in three people who are eligible for screening does not come forward, so there are barriers. what do you think the critical barriers are, what is the reason for a figure like that, do you think? that is got to be improved to reach this target. absolutely. we worked night and day here to make sure that people get the information so that they can the anxiety and understand the importance of the surgical screening tests and the appointment that they are sent in to make sure they are supported and given the information to be able to empower them to do that. it also starts with simple things, reducing stigma, talking to yourfamily and friends things, reducing stigma, talking to your family and friends about it, making sure it is a standard part of the conversation, that is the way we can get through some of that stigma and reduce those barriers that people face in terms of health anxiety. the number of smokers lighting up across the uk is now at record low levels. despite this, new figures suggest millions of cigarette butts are still being discarded every day. the campaign group �*keep britain tidy�* say cigarettes now account for more than 60% of all litter in england. 0ur correspondent tim muffett has sent this report from kingston. when you think of littering, the forest may not be the first place that comes to mind. there's some just down here. oh, i see — i can see it, yeah. yeah, so this is getting like — this is another one. wherever i see rivers or wash—throughs or pipes, i expect to see trash because it all gets funnelled in. within the covered wilderness of our woodlands, the spread of our contamination is becoming more apparent — thanks to the work of a group of mountain bikers. trash free trails began six years ago by dom ferris, and his two passions of mountain biking and conservationism combined. if you speak to anyone, you know — a group of kids, especially — you say, you know, what animal comes to mind when you think about the harm that plastic pollution does? you know, and it's turtles, dolphins, whales. but, you know, four to 23 times more plastic pollution�*s entering our terrestrial ecosystems than is the oceans, so it has to be doing similar types of harm to the wildlife in these places. mark is one of the many volunteers. he's now an ambassador for the group, as it's an issue that's close to his heart. does it annoy you at all? as i said when i first started cleaning trail
