Presented for your pleasure. To read at your leisure.

This isn’t a meeting of two teams in form. Norway have lost their last three games, perhaps a wee bit emotionally spent following their glorious antics at the World Cup (and their quarter-final defeat to England makes it four losses in the last five). Wales have lost four of their last five as well, winning just one of their last eight … though that victory was over Norway last month. So there is hope; just not too much of it.

• Report: Wales stun New Zealand | Email Alex

Eddie Jones is on the pitch in the warm-up wearing a long coat alongside his very long co-captain, Warner Dearns. The 24-year-old was born in New Zealand but moved to Japan as a young teenager.

Japan’s Riku Tokito is – remarkably – playing his first game of professional XVs at Twickenham this afternoon. The sevens ace is starting on the left wing. In the immortal words of Jack Karnehm: “Good luck, mate.”

Civil society campaigners form protective cordon around LGBTQ+ campaigners as they unfurl flags and placards

Queer and gay protesters defied a crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights in Turkey to lead a civil society climate march on Saturday in the city hosting this year’s climate summit.

Turkey’s LGBTQ+ groups have faced increased persecution since September, with police targeting activists in their homes or at the offices of the NGOs that advocate for their rights.

• Wales 35-28 New Zealand

• Home side secure first win over All Blacks since 1953

Just when you expect it the least. By what wild logic did Wales choose now to pull off a victory 73 years in the seeking? There may have been only 55,000 in Cardiff’s great stadium, but judging by the noise alone, Wales are back.

An extraordinary defensive display for the last half-hour kept wave after wave of New Zealand attacks at bay, each greeted as if the most sublime of tries by JPR, Gareth, Shane or JJ. None of those ever tasted this, but now a new generation of Welshmen, still young and hopeful, can add a win over the All Blacks to their CV.

Pragmatic, resolute and gutsy. Sonia Bompastor showed her ruthless side and delivered a tactical masterclass as Chelsea earned a 1-0 win over Manchester City and leapfrogged them at the top of the Women’s Super League.

Sandy Baltimore’s stunning strike in added time at the end of the first half was the difference, as the west London side nullified the threat of a team that had scored in each of their preceding 21 games in all competitions, delivering their first loss of the campaign.

PM accuses Tories of burning ‘all our bridges’ and says deal he is pursuing with EU will ‘get food prices down’

Andy Burnham has said the UK has “lost more than we gained” since leaving the EU, the prime minister’s latest in a string of comments criticising Brexit.

Outlining his desire to form closer ties with Brussels, Burnham accused the Conservative party of having “burned all our bridges” with the bloc after Brexit and said a new deal he hopes to secure with the EU next week will “get food prices down” and put more money in the pockets of British exporters.

Investigative journalist Bethany McLean, one of the first to question Enron and publicly tease apart the arcane flows of money behind it, just happened to publish an expose on the web of financial flows that NVidia is involved in, the week before news broke of Jensen Huang's involvement with a Chinese spy.

The investigation was put out by Hunterbrook, a fascinating company that funds investigative journalism, uses the material unearthed by the investigation to place short bets, and then publishes. However, they say up front that they did not have a position against NVidia at the time of publishing this report. Nvidia ($NVDA) no longer just sells chips. It invests in its customers, buys their computing capacity, and backstops their rent. Its commitments show how much the roughly $5 trillion company has riding on the AI boom. ‍Every financial news publication has written about Nvidia's commitments. Hunterbrook decided to go a step further — tracing every dollar Nvidia has committed to its partners in one comprehensive place. This will be a living document; and as new Nvidia financing agreements are announced, we will add them. Because if Nvidia is really the central bank of AI, as the company's backers say, then the world needs to know everything it is backstopping. NVidia previouslies. Bethany McLean previouslies.

Tientallen gezinswoningen die op elkaar zijn gestapeld. Het klinkt als een woontoren uit de toekomst, maar in het centrum van Rotterdam is het sinds kort werkelijkheid. In de Maasbode kun je op zeven hoog voetballen op straat.

Op de Doelstraat in Rotterdam-Centrum, vlak bij het politiebureau Doelwater, heeft zaterdagmiddag een steekpartij plaatsgevonden. Hierbij is iemand gewond geraakt aan zijn been. Het slachtoffer is naar het ziekenhuis gebracht. De politie heeft één verdachte aangehouden; een 60-jarige man uit Rotterdam.

Woensdag zijn er in Hilversum en Wijdemeren verkiezingen voor een nieuwe gemeenteraad. Maar op de markt gaat het deze zaterdag vooral over de landelijke politiek. „Jij bent er zo een van de VVD, leg maar eens uit.”

Ook de fractievoorzitters Jan Paternotte (D66), Ruben Brekelmans (VVD) en Henri Bontenbal (CDA) zijn aangeschoven bij het crisisoverleg tussen D66, VVD en CDA op landgoed De…

Je stapt in, start de motor en ziet niets. Zeker in de herfst en winter beslaan autoruiten aan de binnenkant snel.

Wachten tot het vanzelf wegtrekt, kost tijd. En wegrijden met slecht zicht is gevaarlijk.

Waarom je ruiten beslaan

Condens ontstaat als warme, vochtige lucht in de auto tegen het koude glas komt. Het vocht slaat dan neer op de ruit.

Natte jassen, schoenen en haren brengen extra vocht de auto in. Hoe natter het buiten is, hoe meer last je ervan hebt.

De snelste oplossing: airco aan

Ook in de winter is de airco je beste hulp. Die maakt de lucht droog, waardoor het vocht snel van de ruiten verdwijnt.

• Zet de airco aan op de recirculatiestand. Binnen enkele momenten zijn de ruiten vrij. Schakel daarna over op de gewone ontwaseming.
• Heeft je auto een automatische ontwasemstand? Dan blaast de airco op volle kracht op de voorruit.
• Geen airco? Zet de verwarming op de hoogste stand en richt de blazers op de voorruit.

Zo voorkom je het

• Houd natte kleding en schoenen zo veel mogelijk buiten de auto.
• Maak de binnenkant van je ruiten regelmatig schoon. Op schoon glas hoopt zich minder vocht op.
• Leg een auto-ontvochtiger in de auto. Zo’n kussentje neemt tot 400 milliliter vocht op en droog je thuis weer op de verwarming.

Blijven ze beslagen?

Verdwijnt de condens niet, kijk dan of er bladeren liggen onder de voorruit en bij de ventilatieroosters. Die kunnen de luchttoevoer belemmeren.

Blijft het probleem bestaan, dan kan de kachelradiateur lekken. Laat dat bij de garage controleren.
