second goal in the 1966 world cup final against west germany, has died aged 76. he'd been diagnosed with alzheimer's disease. martin peters spent a large part of his career at west ham. the club released a statement on their website announcing his death, saying... 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks looks at back at the life and remarkable career of martin peters. with all eyes on hurst, the danger from martin peters went unnoticed. and a chance... a goal! peters! little wonder they

called him the ghost. there's martin peters, the man who's scored the goal which could well win the world cup for england. it didn't, of course, geoff hurst claimed that accolade. but though many called peters' strike the forgotten goal, he had a different take. if i hadn't have scored, we'd have lost 2—1. yeah, it was an important goal, because of the situation. his journey to world cup greatness had begun seven years earlier. instead of following in his father's footsteps to become a lighterman on the river thames, west ham came calling. he made his debut for the hammers in 1962 and won the european cup winners' cup in ‘65. sir alf ramsey said his style and ability was ten years ahead of its time, yet amazingly he didn't receive his first cap for england until the may of 1966. peters has scored! by 1970, his legend at west ham were secure. he left for spurs in a deal that

made him britain's first £200,000 midfielder. oh, what a beautiful goal! what a good header that was from martin peters. with tottenham, he went on to win the league cup twice, the uefa cup and he became club captain. peters left white hart lane in 1975, moving to norwich. despite making his debut at the age of 31, he still went on to play more than 200 games for the club. he lived and breathed football. his family said they'd find him practising headers in his sleep. but there are fears heading the ball helped cause his disease. like some of his former team—mates, he had been suffering with alzheimer's. in the last few years, he had withdrawn from public appearances. dementia had robbed him of many of his most precious memories. but he remained one of only two englishmen to ever know the joy of scoring in a world cup final. the emotion wasjust like being struck by lightning,

it was just unbelievable. just running back, everyone was jumping all over you, it was fantastic. hurst's hat—trick may have made history and bobby moore may have lifted the trophy, but peters also left his indelible mark on footballing history on the day, so the saying goes, that west ham won the world cup. tributes from current and former players have been paid to martin peters. on twitter, martin peters' world cup winning team—mate sirgeoff hurst said... earlier, we heard from steve perryman, a former team—mate of martin peters at tottenham in the ‘70s. he told us how he will remember him. martin was one of those people

that just deserved more than being a footballer of high repute, which he obviously was. he did things for charity, he was kind, he was a proper gentleman — if he promised to do something, he delivered it. and therefore, with what he did in the world cup and stuff like that, i mean, these days, we talk about giving honours to footballers when they get to a semifinal, martin peters actually won the world cup for england. i only ever played with two world cup winners in my life, the the other was 0ssie ardiles, and both very classy people and very, very intelligent. his conduct, with regard to how he... you're in a special situation, being a footballer at a top—class club, and because of that, you're like a role model. he took that serious, that he should conduct himself in a certain way. other people speak

on the television today about the liverpool team being drunk for five days and is therefore not taking this world cup championship very seriously. martin peters took football very, very seriously, and the way that he came across to the public, that wasn't an act, that was his way. he was gentle, he was correct, he was proper, he was educated, and that's how he lived his life. and a great family man. more than 100 bushfires are raging across australia's most populous state, new south wales. christmas travellers are being urged to delay theirjourneys — as record temperatures of more than a0 degrees and strong winds intensify the fires. australia's prime minister,

scott morrison is due to meet fire chiefs in the coming hours. here's our sydney correspondent shaimaa khalil. this was said to be one of the worst days australia's most populous state has ever seen, and it's lived up to every urgent warning. huge flames spiralling out of control, moved by strong, unpredictable wind. this is the second time in less than two months that new south wales has seen catastrophic fire conditions. firefighters have been patrolling this area throughout the day. they have been keeping an eye out on the smoke just behind that tree line. this is where villagers have fires at an emergency level and they've been told to evacuate and they're concerned that embers will blow this way. elizabeth maclaren evacuated her house a few hours ago. she packed the necessities and a few other things she couldn't afford to lose. her family's ok, but she worries about those she left behind.

i hope my house doesn't burn down but, ultimately, all of my friends stayed to fight the fires at their house. they can't get out now, so i'm just hoping that they're safe. i can replace my house — i can't replace lives, you know? helen has also evacuated her home, taking all of her dogs and cats with her. where will you stay? in the caragain. at the car park? yes. we did it the other night. it is fine. uncomfortable, but fine. australia's prime minister, scott morrison, has cut short his holiday to hawaii, as criticism continued to mount of his leadership during the bushfire crisis. it's brought the divisive debate about global warning back to the fore. scientists have long warned that a hotter, drier climate would contribute to australia's fires becoming more frequent and more intense.

a mother and her partner have appeared in court in belfast, accused of murdering a five—year—old girl. nadia zofia kalinowska was discovered at the family home in newton abbey in the early hours of last sunday. her mother, aleksandra wahab, and stepfather, abdul wahab, were remanded in custody. the prime minister has defended the decision to approve a £4 billion takeover of the british defence company cobham by an american firm. speaking as he visited british troops in estonia, borisjohnson said he was satisfied the deal didn't raise national security issues. lady nadine cobham, part of the family which set up the uk firm, which employs 10,000 people, is among those criticising the decision. she called the takeover deeply disappointing. our business correspondent katy prescott reports. one of the uk's oldest defence companies. a pioneer of air—to—air refuelling, critical to the uk military.

providing high—tech engineering jobs at their headquarters. for the last six months, the government has been grappling with whether to allow its sale to the american private equity firm advent. which aims to buy companies, improve them and sell them on. borisjohnson, having christmas lunch with uk troops, defended last night's decision. a lot of checks have been gone through to make sure that in that particular case, that all the security issues that might be raised can be satisfied. and the uk will continue to be a very creative and dynamic contributor to that section of industry and all others. cobham started life in the 1930s as a flying circus. shareholders voted for the sale. the daughter—in—law of the founder has been critical. she says...

in a heavily redacted document in the run up to the sale, the ministry of defence said this raised national security concerns because of access to information and ongoing defence projects. the home office said that they were concerned about access to the uk's emergency services radio systems, which they said could prejudice ongoing operations. to allay those fears, the government says advent has agreed to ensure that sensitive government information continues to be protected, to honour the terms of existing contracts and to give prior notice to the ministry of defence and home office if there any plans to sell the whole or any parts of the business. but critics say the sale is a mistake. this is an amazing british company. a world leading british company that has very important nationally sensitive contracts with the ministry of defence.

it is taken just a week after the election for conservatives to sell out to donald trump. the government says the agreement with them is legally enforceable. and any breach could be pursued through the courts. the low pound has made british companies attractive to american buyers. and this is a high—profile example of the latest sale. the man who fought off the attacker at fishmongers hall near london bridge using a narwhal tusk has given a dramatic account of how he was able to stop the knifeman and pin him to the ground. two people died in the attack last month. civil servant darryn frost has described how usman khan was running towards people with knives raised above his head and wearing what looked like a suicide vest. this report from rich preston. this is the dramatic moment passers—by attempted to stop convicted terrorist usman khan.

his attack had begun at fishmongers' hall, where he had just killed two people. it was there darryn frost, a civil servant, took on khan, with others attending a prisoner rehabilitation event. describing for the first time what happened, mr frost told the press association that he took a narwhal task to defend himself after hearing a commotion from the floor below. he described the moment khan ran at him with knives raised above his head. he went on to recall chasing khan onto london bridge, where a group wrestled him to the ground, stopping him attacking anyone else, or set off what they thought was a suicide vest. talking about jack merritt and saskia jones, who were both killed by khan, mr frost said he will always feel the deep hurt of not being able to save them. he said he hoped speaking out would urge people to unite against terrorism and raise money for the victims' families.

nearly 90 flood warnings remain in place across england. southern counties including west sussex have been badly affected and there are also warnings across eastern england, the midlands and yorkshire. a severe warning of more heavy rain is in place across southern england until noon on sunday. motorists embarking on the christmas getaway are being advised to check their routes in advance, with warnings of potential travel delays and flooding with up to 30mm of rain forecast. the met office have issued a yellow weather warning for the south of england. the environment agency warns of more rain to come. today, we have got a relatively dry period. but we have more rain coming tonight, possibly up to another20mm. although the situation is getting better today, we will see it getting worse overnight and into tomorrow morning. and then after that we have more rain on sunday and more rain on monday. it is not going to get any better.

i think the key thing here is it is not going to get to the severe situation where we have a significant numbers of properties. it will remain high until christmas. but after that we have a dry period. hopefully things will calm down. meanwhile, the met office has confirmed there have been reports of a tornado in parts of surrey. local residents have been posting videos on social media showing the winds hurling debris into the air, as you can see in this dashcam footage on the m25 near chertsey. and in this garden, also in chertsey, wheelie bins are knocked over by the winds. there have also been reports of damage to houses and cars, and trees being ripped up. the headlines on bbc news: england footballer martin peters, who scored in the 1966 world cup final, has died at the age of 76. a catastrophic fire warning

is issued for parts of eastern australia including sydney, amid record—breaking temperatures following months of severe drought. the government approves the takeover of uk defence and aerospace specialist cobham by an american company. sport and here's a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good evening. we start with the death of martin peters, one of england's heroes of ‘66. he was a west ham legend, and the club say that he passed away peacfully this morning at the age of 76, after a long illness. sir geoff hurst stole the headlines with his hat—trick in the 1966 world cup final, but for a while it looked like martin peter's goal might win it before west germany equalised. peters also won honours at west ham and spurs in a career that spanned more than 20 years. one of peters' former team mates at west ham is sir trevor brooking.

everyone at west ham is sir trevor brooking. will be very sa everyone will be very sad, martin... i was exceptionally lucky as a youngster, young apprentice really, tojoin west youngster, young apprentice really, to join west ham youngster, young apprentice really, tojoin west ham in' 65, when a win today cup winners' cup and the uefa cup the year before, and then we said west ham won the world cup, because of the three lads there. they were key people, and i was exceptionally lucky to be an apprentice at the club when they we re apprentice at the club when they were training and everything, and they made my debut up it burnley with all three of those still in the team. people like martin were intrigued at how suddenly it grew more and more important. martin never levelled anything like that, he was very low—key and good company, but never went looking for any headlines. liverpool have won the fifa club

world cup after beating flamengo1—0 in extra time. the main incident of the 90 minutes came in injury time when the referee awarded liverpool a penalty after sadio mane was brought down. he then reversed his decision after looking at the var monitor. but then roberto firmino, who scored the winner in the semifinal, did the same again. it's the first time liverpool have the competition in their history. liverpool remain ten points clear at the top of the premier league table after a battle between their two nearest rivals saw manchester city fight back from a goal down to beat leicester 3—1. jamie vardy silenced the etihad stadium when he scored the opening goal in the first half. but city hit back with strikes from riyad mahrez, a penalty from gundogan and then a third from gabrieljesus. pep guardiola's side stay third despite this victory, a point behind leicester and 11 behind the leaders, who have a game in hand.

in the rest of the day's premier league action, norwich are looking vulnerable in the bottom three. they were beaten at home by wolves who came from a goal down to win at carrow road. rauljimenez scored his 16th of the season. norwich are now six points from safety in the premier league. meanwhile, victory for wolves moves them up to sixth and gets them back to winning ways after their 11—match unbeaten run was ended by tottenham last week. elsewhere, burnley won at bournemouth, another away win for sheffield united. newcastle beat palace and everton and arsenal played out a goalless draw at goodison park, as respective new bosses carlo ancelotti and mikel arteta watched from the stands. a good win for southampton who beat aston villa 3—1. there were five matches in the scottish premiership on saturday. celtic survived a wobble at home to aberdeen, restoring their lead over rangers at the top of the table back to five points. 0dsonne edouard scored the winner in the 66th minute for the 2—1victory. motherwell moved back into third place as jake carroll's free—kick gave them all three points

away to kilmarnock. plenty of action from rugby union's premiership today. northampton slipped to second in the table after losing at home to sale. instead, exeter are top, inflicting another defeat on leicester, 31—22 the score. the tigers were left without even the consolation of a bonus point. they remain in trouble in 11th place, one place off the bottom. that's all the sport for now. the duke of edinburgh is continuing to be treated at a hospital in london after being admitted yesterday. the queen remains at her sandringham estate in norfolk. 0ur correspondent tolu adeoye is at sandringham. all quiet here this evening. this is where the duke has spent much of his time since he retired in 2017. this is where he left yesterday morning to go to hospital in london. we know around the same time, the queen was arriving for her christmas break here. it really is that business as usual, not a huge sense of alarm around the fact that the prince has been

admitted to hospital. and the palace has only said that he's been admitted for observation and treatment in relation to a pre—existing condition. they described it as a precautionary measure. the palace has not confirmed he went to hospital in a helicopter. we know when he got there he did walk into the hospital. the palace have not given us any further details today. of course, they would not give running commentary on his condition. one key question that a lot of people want to know is will the prince be ok for christmas day. we know lots of senior royals have already arrived here. on christmas day, the queen will host the cambridgeshires and the duke and duchess of cornwall, other senior royals and many of them will be hoping duke is well enough to join them. president trump has signed into a law the creation of a us space force, the country's first new military service in 70 years. he described space as the world's

newest war—fighting domain. the force's creation is part of a $738 billion defence bill, voted through by congress last week. going to be a lot of things happening in space. because space is the world's newest war fighting domain. had made great threats to oui’ domain. had made great threats to our national security, american superiority in space is absolutely vital. and we're leading, but we're not leading by enough, and very shortly we'll be leading by a lot. wrote this bass voice will help us deter aggression and claim the ultimate high ground. for a number of years, there've been calls for stricter rules in schools around the practice of restraining children. and now the authorities in scotland say , they'll introduce new guidance for teachers and support staff. jayne mccubbin reports. at the start of the year, we reported on children

with additional needs who had been locked in isolation, physically restrained, and sometimes injured. we heard from parents and charities fighting for much greater regulation in schools. he was tied down. all of these methods of restraint. it is just heartbreaking to know that they did that to him. he put someone on a chair, strapped him in, it makes life easier for the staff, but it certainly wasn't a good thing for harry. schools might have to look after children with complex needs. children like harry have no other way of communicating but by their behaviour. harry's families is represented by one of the top human rights lawyers who argues restrictive practices are a breach of fundamental rights. people overseeing children with special needs such as presented here have a difficultjob to do. it's a demanding job. but that cannot be at the expense of the interest of the young child. in my view, this point clearly to a breach of the human rights act.

the department for education in northern ireland told breakfast that while reasonable force is allowed schools should report incidents. however, there is no legal obligation to do so. this week, scotland announced new guidance. it bans restraint and succlusion to discipline children. they have consistent reporting of incidents. the welsh government say they are also consulting on measures to limit the use of restrictive practices. the department for education in england told breakfast we will always back head teachers on discipline, but restraint should only be used when absolutely necessary. again, there is no legal obligation to report incidents. campaigners say they will continue to fight on for that statutory change. not only to report incidents, but to end them. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker.

another mild day out there, and some others had decent weather in the north, but as far as the south is concerned, more rain on the way through this afternoon, evening and overnight, but the good news is it shouldn't be too heavy at this time, but the grant is very soggy at the moment, so any rainfall could cause a few problems. so i'm thinking it's the south tonight i will get most of the south tonight i will get most of the rain, some outbreaks of rain in the rain, some outbreaks of rain in the midlands too, but nothing too heavy. for the north this evening and overnight come weather is generally clear, a touch of frost outside of town in some places, probably patches of mist first thing in the morning. growth is for a sunday is concerned, it looks like we're in for sunday is concerned, it looks like we're infora sunday is concerned, it looks like we're in for a bright day, breezy, but showers as well, so from time to time, be prepared for a bit of rain

two.
