:05:02. > :05:07.Hurricane Henry hit Texas overnight, with high winds and heavy rain. When

:05:08. > :05:11.it made landfall it was a category four hurricane capable of causing

:05:12. > :05:21.catastrophic damage. This is a hurricane that will come inland, and

:05:22. > :05:27.then is going to hover for a long period of time. It could be days.

:05:28. > :05:31.Harvey has been billed as the most powerful storm to hit the US

:05:32. > :05:36.mainland in more than a decade. The strongest to hit Texas in over 50

:05:37. > :05:42.years. This is Harvey from above. The storm system is ten miles wide,

:05:43. > :05:47.bringing winds of up to 130 mph, and a metre of rain is expected to fall.

:05:48. > :05:52.Corpus Christi was in the eye of the storm when it hit. The streets are

:05:59. > :06:06.city of Victoria, they are preparing for the worst. What is your worst

:06:07. > :06:09.case scenario? Harvey, that's about as worst-case scenario for a

:06:10. > :06:13.community the size of Victoria. We've never seen a forecast for that

:06:14. > :06:18.kind of localised rain. It's the most dangerous forecast we've ever

:06:19. > :06:23.seen. President Trump has signed a disaster proclamation for Texas to

:06:24. > :06:27.free up federal aid. Harvey is stubborn and isn't planning on

:06:28. > :06:28.leaving any time soon, bringing several days of storm force winds

:06:29. > :06:32.and rain ahead. With all the sport, here's

:06:33. > :06:34.Olly Foster at the BBC Sport Centre. The Women's Rugby World Cup Final

:06:35. > :06:37.takes place in Belfast this evening. England are the reigning champions

:06:38. > :06:40.and face the Number One ranked team in the World,

:06:41. > :06:42.New Zealand. The Black Ferns have won

:06:43. > :06:45.the World Cup four times and have a habit of beating

:06:46. > :06:47.England in finals. Here's our sports

:06:48. > :06:59.correspondent Katy Gornall. A summers day in Belfast, wet,

:07:00. > :07:02.rainy, perfect for nurturing flowers. England's red roses have

:07:03. > :07:07.flourished at this tournament, but now comes the true of their

:07:08. > :07:11.progress. The defending champions will face a formidable and familiar

:07:12. > :07:16.opponent. Three times England have played New Zealand in a World Cup

:07:17. > :07:21.final, and they've lost everyone. When you get to a World Cup final,

:07:22. > :07:25.past records, past wins, past titles go out the window. We said that all

:07:26. > :07:28.along. To be the best, you've got to play the best. We showed that on

:07:29. > :07:33.Tuesday night and hopefully we'll be able to do that again on Saturday.

:07:34. > :07:39.Sarah Hunter's side came through an impressive semifinal against France,

:07:40. > :07:43.the scoreline not reflecting the battle they faced on the pitch. New

:07:44. > :07:46.Zealand eased past the USA. With a tight turnaround that could be

:07:47. > :07:50.crucial. At the men's World Cup teams were given a week to recover

:07:51. > :07:56.for the final. The women have had four days. It's definitely not fair.

:07:57. > :07:59.But we are prepared for this. I can't complain because we just get

:08:00. > :08:04.the job done. Again we are facing a big game on Saturday and the body

:08:05. > :08:09.will be ready, mentally and physically. The final here at the

:08:10. > :08:12.Kingspan Stadium is the one that the tournament has been craving. England

:08:13. > :08:15.and New Zealand are by some distance the best teams out there, and

:08:16. > :08:20.although there is still progress to be made in the women's game, this

:08:21. > :08:26.will be the most high-profile Rugby World Cup final yet. These two teams

:08:27. > :08:29.have one of the biggest rivalries in women's sport. The Black Ferns

:08:30. > :08:33.recently overtook England at the top of the rankings, but soon we'll find

:08:34. > :08:39.out who really is the best in the world.

:08:40. > :08:42.England's cricketers took early wickets on the second day of the

:08:43. > :08:45.second test at Headingley. The West Indies resumed on 19-1

:08:46. > :08:47.after bowling England out for 258 yesterday but James Anderson has

:08:48. > :08:50.taken two more Nightwatchman Devendra

:08:51. > :08:52.Bishoo and Kyle Hope The tourists went into lunch a few

:08:53. > :09:10.moments ago on 109-3. Conor McGregor is the mixed Martial

:09:11. > :09:14.arts superstar with thousands of Irish fans making the trip to Las

:09:15. > :09:19.Vegas to support him fight Floyd Mayweather. It's going to be his

:09:20. > :09:22.first pro boxing match. Floyd Mayweather is unbeaten but is 11

:09:23. > :09:23.years older than his opponent and has come out of retirement for the

:09:24. > :09:32.bout. It's one of the biggest days

:09:33. > :09:45.in the rugby league calendar, Hull had their first Wembley win

:09:46. > :09:49.when they won the cup last year but the Warriors have got their name on

:09:50. > :09:51.the couple more times than any other. Victory for them would be

:09:52. > :09:55.their 20th. The match starts at three

:09:56. > :10:06.and is on BBC One. How about that for a strike,

:10:07. > :10:11.full-back Charlie Daniels with a brilliant opener for the cherries.

:10:12. > :10:16.City have equalised. Gabriel Jesus scored for them, less spectacular

:10:17. > :10:22.but it's 1-1. Keep up-to-date with that game and all of today's sport

:10:56. > :10:59.weekend of August should deliver some sunshine. Certainly the case in

:11:00. > :11:04.Rutland earlier on today. As ever there are some exceptions to the

:11:05. > :11:05.sunny spells. A lot of cloud across Wales, delivering
