All Blacks win

New Zealand stormed to their 50th win at the Rugby World Cup, running in 11 tries to thrash Namibia, but lost Ethan de Groot to a late red card for a dangerous collision.

De Groot was given a yellow card for a high tackle on Adriaan Booysen inside the final 10 minutes with a 'bunker' review upgrading it to a red.

The All Backs had recorded a bonus-point fourth try inside 25 minutes.

They led 38-3 at half-time as Damien McKenzie and Cam Roigard crossed twice.

New Zealand were on a two-match losing streak, having lost 35-7 to South Africa in a warm-up Test and seen their 31-match perfect record in World Cup pool stages come to an end against France seven days ago.

New Zealand's win lifts them to second in Pool A. After a week off, they face Italy in their next match on 29 September.

It was a significant night for second row Sam Whitelock, who made his 148th New Zealand appearance to join Richie McCaw as the All Blacks' most-capped player.

Michael Beale eased pressure mounting on his Rangers future as Danilo's brave header and Rabbi Matondo's composed finish earned a much-needed Scottish Premiership win at St Johnstone.

After a heavy Champions League exit in Eindhoven was followed by an Old Firm derby defeat last time out, which left the Govan side four points behind city rivals Celtic, victory was imperative for the Ibrox manager.

And a crucial win was kickstarted by Danilo on his return to the XI, but the Brazilian's winner came at a cost as the striker had to be substituted along with home captain Liam Gordon following a nasty head collision.

Rangers, who had a close-range Kemar Roofe finish ruled out for a narrow offside call on Abdallah Sima, again lacked clinical edge at times, which allowed the improved hosts to push for a leveller after the break.

But Steven MacLean's side, who remain winless at the bottom of the table, failed to take advantage of the second-half openings that fell their way before substitute Matondo slotted in from a perfectly-weighted Tom Lawrence pass.

The victory moves Rangers up to third, one point off leaders Celtic, who host Dundee later on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Ireland continued their winning start to the World Cup with a bonus-point victory over Tonga on a landmark night for Johnny Sexton in Nantes.

The Six Nations Grand Slam winners moved clear with early tries from Tadhg Beirne, Caelan Doris and Mack Hansen.

Sexton added a fourth to surpass Ronan O'Gara as Ireland's record scorer.

Vaea Fifita scored for Tonga before half-time but James Lowe, Bundee Aki - with two - and Rob Herring capped another resounding Ireland win.

While the Irish encountered more headaches here than they did in their 12-try destruction of Romania, Andy Farrell will be pleased that his side moved on to 10 points before next week's eagerly anticipated encounter with holders South Africa in Paris.

Crucially, the world's number one-ranked team again appeared to avoid injuries to key players with Farrell even afforded the luxury of ending Sexton's night at half-time after the out-half's record-breaking contribution.

Tonga, who did not play last week, will look to bounce back when they take on Scotland in Nice on Sunday week.

Oldham Athletic have sacked manager David Unsworth after Saturday's defeat by Bromley left them third from bottom in the National League.

The 49-year-old's exit was confirmed by the Latics almost one year to the day since his appointment.

Unsworth guided the club to a 12th-placed finish in his first season in charge but picked up just one win from nine league games this season.

Steve Thompson will take over on an interim basis, the club said.

In a statement, the Latics added:

"After a strong finish to the 2022-23 season, a sizeable investment in the playing budget and some highly promising signings during the summer, the start of the current campaign has unfortunately not met the expectations of the club.

"Following the takeover of Oldham Athletic by the Rothwell family in July 2022, it has been one of their main principles to stay out of the day-to-day running of football activities within the business and provide stability for the long-term survival of the club.

"David signed for three seasons, to bring stability on the playing front, but despite the hard work and dedication of David and his coaching team, results have not worked out on the pitch."

Oldham take on fellow strugglers York City on Tuesday hoping to record their first victory since thrashing Aldershot 5-1 in their second game of the 2023-24 campaign.

Mike Ashley's Frasers Group is in talks to sell its Missguided clothing brand to online fashion giant Shein, the BBC understands.

Talks about a deal, which were first reported by Sky News, come only a year after Frasers took over the brand.

Frasers Group bought Missguided for £20m last year after the online fashion retailer collapsed into administration.

Shein, which was founded in China in 2008, is a global giant in the world of fast fashion.

Both Frasers Group and Shein have been contacted for comment.

According to Sky, a deal is likely to see Shein buy Missguided's brand and other intellectual property, while the head office is retained by Frasers.

Manchester-based Missguided was founded by Nitin Passi in 2009 and grew to become one of the UK's biggest online fashion players.

But after suffering from supply chain problems, rising freight costs and increasing competition from rivals, it fell into administration in May 2022, before being picked up by Frasers Group.

Frasers - which owns the Mike Ashley-founded Sports Direct chain - has expanded rapidly by buying brands that have fallen into trouble. including Game, Evans Cycles, Jack Wills and Sofa.com.

While Mike Ashley is no longer Frasers' chief executive, he owns a majority stake in the firm.

England edged closer to the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals, but did little to impress in a scrappy 34-12 win over Japan in Nice.

Lewis Ludlam forced his way over from close range for the only try of a first half littered with England errors.

Rikiya Matsuda's boot had Japan within a point at 13-12 early in the second half before a fortuitous try from captain Courtney Lawes, after the ball had bounced off the head of Joe Marler, gave England some breathing space.

Freddie Steward collected a cross-kick to dot down deftly and end any hopes Japan had of another Rugby World Cup upset to follow their famous scalping of South Africa in 2015, before Joe Marchant dived over in the final play of the match.

But it was neither a scoreline nor a performance to worry any of the tournament's main contenders.

If anything, it will have confirmed to market leaders France, Ireland and South Africa that they are still operating several levels above England.

The whistles and jeers that followed several of England's decisions to kick away attacking ball suggested some of their fans were similarly unimpressed.

Two victories from two matches against arguably their two strongest Pool D rivals means Steve Borthwick's side are well set for the quarter-finals.

But they will need steep and stark improvement against Chile and Samoa to be in shape for the step up to knockout rugby.

Marilyn Manson has been sentenced to 20 hours of community service after pleading no contest to blowing his nose on a videographer in 2019.

The rocker, 54, was forced to appear in person for the hearing in Laconia, New Hampshire, where he was facing two misdemeanor counts of assault.

He is accused of blowing his nose and spitting on Susan Fountain at his concert at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford on August 19, 2019.

Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, pleaded no contest to the nose-blowing charge in a negotiated plea deal with prosecutors at Belknap County Superior Court.

Prosecutors agreed to dismiss the other charge, which alleged that he spit on the videographer.

"(Is This the Way to) The World Cup" is a 2006 single by Tony Christie with lyrics written by Ian Stringer and George Webley and published by Tug Records. It was released as a version of Christie's successful "Is This the Way to Amarillo" single and created as a version to support the England national football team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The song reached a peak of 8 in the UK Singles Charts, remaining in the charts for 5 weeks.

Christie later came to regret performing the song, stating in a 2010 interview that it was "dreadful" and said he would "...never ever do it again because it was crap".

Prices will rise faster in the UK than any other advanced economy this year, a forecast suggests.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said UK inflation would average 7.2% in 2023.

The think tank said this would be the highest rate in the G7 group, which includes the US, Germany, France, Japan, Canada and Italy.

The government said it was confident it was "on the right track to halve inflation" by the end of 2023.

It added that the OECD's forecast "illustrates yet again why we need to stick to the plan that we have set out".

Berbatov made his debut for Bulgaria on 17 November 1999, aged 18. He represented Bulgaria at Euro 2004 which was the only major tournament he played at for his country, owing to the team's failure to qualify for other tournaments. Berbatov captained the team from 2006 until May 2010, when he announced his retirement from international football, leaving his tally for Bulgaria standing at 48 goals from 78 matches. He won the Bulgarian Footballer of the Year a record seven times, surpassing the number of wins by Hristo Stoichkov.

When Manchester United won the Premier League on 16 May 2009, Berbatov became the first Bulgarian to play in an English Premier League title-winning team.

Azerbaijan's president has declared that his country's sovereignty has been restored over Nagorno-Karabakh after a 24-hour military offensive against ethnic-Armenian forces.

Ilham Aliyev praised the heroism of Azerbaijan's army hours after Karabakh forces agreed to surrender.

Some 120,000 ethnic Armenians live in the South Caucasus enclave, recognised internationally as part of Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan now intends to bring the breakaway region under full control.

Its military launched an "anti-terror" operation on Tuesday, demanding that Karabakh's forces raise a white flag and dissolve their "illegal regime". With no means of support from neighbouring Armenia, and after an effective nine-month blockade, the ethnic Armenians soon gave in.

Armenian officials reported that at least 32 people were killed, including seven civilians, and another 200 wounded. However according to a separatist Armenian human rights official, at least 200 people were killed and more than 400 wounded. The BBC has not been able to verify any of the figures.
