for her murder. ahead of remembrance sunday — the second world war veterans reflecting on the sacrifice of those who fought for britain's freedom. i like to think the local youngsters today remember as sailors, soldiers, airmen and civilians who gave their lives for the freedom that we enjoy today. and in cricket — england thrash india to reach the t20 cricket world cup final. gareth southgate will shortly announce the england team for the 2022 world cup.

hello and welcome to the programme. there has been a steep increase in people waiting for cancer care in england, scotland and northern ireland. the number of patients waiting longer than the target at 62 days for cancer treatment such as chemotherapy or surgery has doubled since 2018, now up to 69,000. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has this report. married for more than 50 years, wendy and tony had seen each other through thick and thin. in september of last year, wendy's husband had a routine chest x—ray. it wasn't until november he was informed there was something abnormal and was eventually told it was terminal lung cancer in january. we assumed, obviously wrongly, that if we hadn't heard anything, everything must be all right. tony died at the end of february, but that long delay in diagnosis

and treatment still torments wendy and her children. it seems that it was the big delay at the beginning between when tony had his x—ray and someone then raised concerns about what they saw on that x—ray — that was the thing? yes. and i'm not saying the end result wouldn't have been the same. it would, i know that. i think he perhaps might have had a little bit longer. would the chemo have done any good, if he'd had that sooner? i honestly don't know. it's not... ..not something we're ever going to be able to answer. and we've got to live with that. and my children have got to live with that, which is even harder. the nhs in england says more patients are being diagnosed with cancer at an earlier stage than ever before. that really improves patient�*s chances of a good outcome. at lewisham hospital in south london, these new, faster scanners are being used to reduce waiting times.

the scanners are providing the trust with increased capacity so we can scan more patients. they are also providing us with a much better image quality and reduced scan times, so we are able to scan an extra 20 patients a week with our new mri scanner that we weren't able to do before and an extra 50 patients a week on the ct scanner that we weren't able to do before. the demand for cancer services is growing. well done, we're all finished. we're going to come in now. in august of this year, more than a quarter of a million people were checked following an urgent gp referral, the highest number on record. but that all adds pressure to the system. i know that all those in the nhs are working as hard as they possibly can to try and support patients. but what i'm concerned about is that it doesn't look like the targets are being met and the government are looking at changing the targets. so i don't feel optimistic. if things go wrong, the impact can be devastating. at tony's old golf club,

his family have planted a tree with his ashes. hiya, love. 0k today? yeah? still got some leaves left. they'll never know for sure if the delay in his diagnosis and treatment contributed to his death. but the worry is that many thousands more are living with the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with cancer. dominic hughes, bbc news. we have more figures from the nhs in just a second that we are getting news regarding the england men's football world cup squad. that is coming in the next ten or 15 minutes or so, we are expecting to see a press conference. but we have received this. the squad for the fifa world cup. there you can see the 2022 world cup england squad has

been released on twitter. let's see some of the names there, pretty familiar. jordan pickford, nick pope and aaron brown style. the forwards, phil foden, jack grealish, harry kane, of course. james madison, marcus rashford, bukayo saka, callum wilson. names that at first glance are not a great surprise to me. lots of familiar names and faces in there. when we do have our correspondent ready to pick through some of the names and selection dilemmas of who is out we will get more context and reflection on those names that big moment for many football fans with the world cup not far away now and actually people getting a chance to talk about the teams and football selection. we will come back to that in just a moment. we come back now to our coverage of the nhs. lots of data released.

figures from nhs england show a record number of patients had to wait at least four hours in a&e departments last month. there's also been an increase in the number of people waiting to start hospital treatment. meanwhile the waiting times for a&e and england have hit record levels. our correspondentjim reed has been 0ur correspondentjim reed has been going through the numbers. thank you very much for waiting for us there. what do you want to talk about. lots of data, lots of numbers released, what are you going to pick out for us? , , , ., what are you going to pick out for us? , , ., ., us? just before the football you had the re ort us? just before the football you had the report from _ us? just before the football you had the report from dominic _ us? just before the football you had the report from dominic about - us? just before the football you had l the report from dominic about cancer waiting times and large parts of the uk, england, in scotland and northern ireland in particular. today we have also had some interesting figures, interesting data out from the nhs. this is specifically about england. we get this every month but it really paints a picture of a health service under pressure. as we go into that really important winter period when doctors and nurses are under more pressure anyway because of everything else that goes on in the winter. if you look at a&e waiting times, this is a measure which is

four i was kissed when you turn up in a&e, the target is 95% of people should be seen and either discharged or moved into a ward within four hours. if you look at the most recent figures, this four 0ctober, 30.7% of people were not. the target is 95%, so they hit about 69%. so well below their target. actually, if you look at the figures in scotland, wales and northern ireland, they are roughly similar, a bit higher, actually, in northern ireland. ., , , ,, ireland. you can see the pressure doctors and _ ireland. you can see the pressure doctors and nurses _ ireland. you can see the pressure doctors and nurses are _ ireland. you can see the pressure doctors and nurses are under. - ireland. you can see the pressure | doctors and nurses are under. just on that, that is a significant distance away from the target time. is that particularly unusual, is it to be expected? this is that particularly unusual, is it to be expected?— is that particularly unusual, is it to be expected? this is the highest on record. there _ to be expected? this is the highest on record. there is _ to be expected? this is the highest on record. there is a _ to be expected? this is the highest on record. there is a separate - on record. there is a separate measure which is also equally concerning doctors, which is when you turn up to a&e, this is for the most sick patients, if you then have to be admitted to a ward. you see a doctor and they say we can't deal with you in a&e, you have to go to a specialist ward. the figure there at the moment is the number of people

waiting more than 12 hours after that point, so you get told you have to be moved, you are still stuck in a&e for another 12 hours from that point, that when up to 43,000 people in october. that was a jump of about a third on the previous month. actually the biggest monthlyjump we have ever had on record. so again, it's painting this picture of a&e, emergency services, ambulances all being under quite significant pressure. the other way of looking at it is when we move on and talk about waiting lists. this is waiting lists for routine treatment. again, there was a rise last month, this was at the end of september, beginning of october, just over 7 million, 7.1 million people. again, this is england only, waiting for treatment. that is one in eight people in england currently on a waiting list. the number waiting for more than 12 months has been going up more than 12 months has been going up as well. so again, big pressure on the health service, big pressure on the health service, big pressure on the health service, big pressure on the government and politicians at the moment looking at these figures.

thank you very much for talking us through notjust the numbers but the significance of those numbers. thank you very much. you can find out how your local hospital trust or health board is performing on cancer referrals on the bbc news website. and you can download the bbc news app and you can download the bbc news app as well. we are going to go back and talk about the men's world cup now. the england team just been announced, as we saw on our screens and we can cross announced, as we saw on oui’ screens and we can cross to oui’ announced, as we saw on our screens and we can cross to our football reporter, alex, at st george's park. great to see you. we now know the names, talk us through what stands out for you. we names, talk us through what stands out for vom— out for you. we know the names, lewis. out for you. we know the names, lewis- there _ out for you. we know the names, lewis. there are _ out for you. we know the names, lewis. there are some _ out for you. we know the names, lewis. there are some big - out for you. we know the names, lewis. there are some big ones. | out for you. we know the names, i lewis. there are some big ones. the most debated player coming into the squad was would james madison be included? he has been in excellent form for leicester city and the team that has been struggling and we can now say that he has made it. gareth

southgate couldn't ignore the form he has been in and that is probably the biggest one. also in the forwards, there is callum wilson. he hasn't been in the squad for a long time either but his form for newcastle has made gareth southgate pull him in because again, goals are so important and so hard to find. england have been looking for a back—up doll is going to harry kane. he is by far and away the most potent attacker they have. he has pulled in callum wilson. also a return for marcus rashford, who has been excellent for manchester united. in the last international break, gaurd southgate released a statement and said if marcus rashford improved his form he would be under consideration and it looks like he's done enough to get into that team. we look at their midfield, conor gallagher, he wasn't in the last international break squad. he had a big decision to make at club level. he decided to stay at his boyhood club chelsea and back himself to break into the team and he has done just that. also

himself to break into the team and he has donejust that. also in midfield, kalvin phillips, he has had his injury issues and it looks like he has got over them and gareth southgate thinks he will be fit enough to play a part for england at the world cup. we move into defence, ben white, again, very, very good for the arsenal team at the top of the league. trent alexander—arnold, who has been debated about his form for liverpool but he is in. kyle walker, another player with fitness issues and that really is all because of this really tight schedule leading into the world cup but gareth southgate has named his 26 and the players he thinks will take england all the way. brilliant stuff. you mentioned _ take england all the way. brilliant stuff. you mentioned right - take england all the way. brilliant stuff. you mentioned right at - take england all the way. brilliant stuff. you mentioned right at the| stuff. you mentioned right at the top james stuff. you mentioned right at the topjames madison. for people who don't follow every single kind of twist and turn, what was the speculation, why was his name so interesting to so many people? so james maddison, the reason he's been debated so hotly about whether he would be in or not is because of his form for leicester city. but on the

international stage, form for leicester city. but on the internationalstage, he form for leicester city. but on the international stage, he hasn't been international stage, he hasn't been in an england squad for three years. there's been many, many players who have been picked ahead of him for quite a period of time that he has kept plugging away. kept quite a period of time that he has kept plugging away-— quite a period of time that he has kept plugging away. kept playing his club football and _ kept plugging away. kept playing his club football and this _ kept plugging away. kept playing his club football and this season, - kept plugging away. kept playing his club football and this season, his - club football and this season, his goals and assists, you just can't ignore them. leicester were struggling and are at the lower end of the premier league table and the reason they have had an uplift is because of james reason they have had an uplift is because ofjames maddison. if reason they have had an uplift is because of james maddison. if you are able to pull up or look at the stats of the english attackers in the premier league, james maddison is top or near the top of most of those lists. so he couldn't be ignored. it would have been going into a world cup without arguably the most inform forward midfielder available to you.— available to you. interesting and riven the available to you. interesting and given the shape _ available to you. interesting and given the shape of— available to you. interesting and given the shape of the _ available to you. interesting and given the shape of the squad, i available to you. interesting and l given the shape of the squad, now available to you. interesting and - given the shape of the squad, now we know who is in and who is out, what do you think of it, how competitive is it? it do you think of it, how competitive is it? , , , is it? it is very competitive. there are a lot of _ is it? it is very competitive. there are a lot of high _ is it? it is very competitive. there are a lot of high quality _ is it? it is very competitive. there are a lot of high quality attacking | are a lot of high quality attacking players in there. if you look at the forward group, phil foden, jack

grealish, harry kane, rashford, bukayo saka, all players gareth southgate trust and have done well for england if you look back at the euros, got to the final and the world cup semifinal. he knows he can trust these players i know that they can deliver on the big stage. that is probably the strongest part of this england team. they are blessed in attacking areas. there is debate about how strong they are in defence. there is only one recognised left back in there with luke shaw, because ben chilwell recently picked up an injury but gareth southgate will be heading into the tournament very confident with the attack as he will be able to pick. with the attack as he will be able to ick. �* , ,., with the attack as he will be able to ick. �* , 4' ., with the attack as he will be able to ick. �* , ~ ., ., to pick. alex, 'ust so you know and eve one to pick. alex, 'ust so you know and eveenery at — to pick. alex, just so you know and everyone at home _ to pick. alex, just so you know and everyone at home knows, - to pick. alex, just so you know and everyone at home knows, it's - to pick. alex, just so you know and l everyone at home knows, it's pretty obvious but next to on the screen right now we a camera pointing at... some empty space at the backs of heads but the reason is we are expecting an announcement. we are expecting an announcement. we are expecting to hear from the england camp. i suppose some reflections are

not only the squad, of course, but in general, the preparations with not long to go now to qatar. as always, there will be questions about off the football field matters. there will be questions about having a world cup in qatar there at all. these questions will always be asked in the lead up to a game, even when the announcement is about the players, i suppose? that is alwa s about the players, i suppose? that is always going _ about the players, i suppose? that is always going to _ about the players, i suppose? trust is always going to be the case. it has been debated, hasn't it, since the tournament was awarded to qatar 12 years ago, the debate around the human rights there and how lgbtq fans will be welcomed to the region. the england team are going to be wearing that one love armband against all the discrimination and harry kane is going to be wearing that for every match that england play during the world cup. we are expecting gareth southgate to speak in the next few minutes. he is going to be asked about those issues off

the pitch and will also be asked about the players he has named and wants to take to the world cup and his reasons for that. i havejust seen him enter the room. his reasons for that. i have 'ust seen him enter the room. good afternoon _ seen him enter the room. good afternoon everybody _ seen him enter the room. good afternoon everybody and - seen him enter the room. good afternoon everybody and welcome to st george's — afternoon everybody and welcome to st george's park _ afternoon everybody and welcome to st george's park. this _ afternoon everybody and welcome to st george's park. this england - afternoon everybody and welcome to| st george's park. this england media press _ st george's park. this england media press conference. _ st george's park. this england media press conference. as _ st george's park. this england media press conference. as you _ st george's park. this england media press conference. as you can - st george's park. this england media press conference. as you can see, . st george's park. this england mediaj press conference. as you can see, we have gareth _ press conference. as you can see, we have gareth southgate _ press conference. as you can see, we have gareth southgate with _ press conference. as you can see, we have gareth southgate with us - press conference. as you can see, we have gareth southgate with us so - press conference. as you can see, we have gareth southgate with us so wel have gareth southgate with us so we will get _ have gareth southgate with us so we will get started — have gareth southgate with us so we will get started straightaway- have gareth southgate with us so we will get started straightaway with - will get started straightaway with rob dawson _ will get started straightaway with rob dawson from _ will get started straightaway with rob dawson from sky _ will get started straightaway with rob dawson from sky sports - will get started straightaway with . rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to _ rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see — rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see you _ rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see you on _ rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see you on a _ rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see you on a big _ rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see you on a big day, - rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see you on a big day, a - rob dawson from sky sports news. nice to see you on a big day, a dayl nice to see you on a big day, a day when _ nice to see you on a big day, a day when you _ nice to see you on a big day, a day when you have broken some hearts and you've _ when you have broken some hearts and you've made _ when you have broken some hearts and you've made a number of players' dreams— you've made a number of players' dreams come true i suspect. crucially, — dreams come true i suspect. crucially, before we get to the individuals in the decisions you have _ individuals in the decisions you have made, when you look at that squad _ have made, when you look at that squad of— have made, when you look at that squad of 26, do you believe it has everything — squad of 26, do you believe it has everything in there needed to win a world _ everything in there needed to win a world cup? — everything in there needed to win a world cu - ? ,, world cup? chuckles we have _ world cup? chuckles we have wanted - world cup? chuckles we have wanted to . world cup? chuckles i we have wanted to make world cup? chuckles - we have wanted to make sure world cup? chuckles _ we have wanted to make sure we have the balance of the squad right... i think in this day and age, the squad is more important than ever. we are now five substitutes, you can have almost half the team changed during almost half the team changed during a game. so you want different

options for different moments of matches and four different stages of the tournament, as well. we have obviously had to cover a couple of players that aren't yet fully fit, fully match fit as well. so having 26 available men that we were probably able to take a couple of risks that you might not have been able to with 23. but we think the balance is there and we have cover in the positions we need for is that we are lighter on depth in some positions than others in our country, but we think we've got everything covered. haste country, but we think we've got everything covered.— country, but we think we've got everything covered. we said widely across every _ everything covered. we said widely across every bit _ everything covered. we said widely across every bit of _ everything covered. we said widely across every bit of the _ everything covered. we said widely across every bit of the media - across every bit of the media i think— across every bit of the media i think before you pick your squad that james maddison would be the headline _ that james maddison would be the headline story, whether he was in or out. headline story, whether he was in or out he _ headline story, whether he was in or out he is _ headline story, whether he was in or out he is in. — headline story, whether he was in or out. he is in, why is he in? he�*s out. he is in, why is he in? he's -la in: out. he is in, why is he in? he's playing really _ out. he is in, why is he in? he's playing really well. _ out. he is in, why is he in? he's playing really well. look, - out. he is in, why is he in? he's playing really well. look, he's. out. he is in, why is he in? he's playing really well. look, he's a| playing really well. look, he's a good player. we've always said he's a good player. he's earned the right. we think he can give as

something slightly different to the other attacking players we've got. so i think at various stages, there have been conversations, debates about james. have been conversations, debates aboutjames. there's been moments where, you know, head of the euros, i don't think he was in contention. he had a bit of a problem with his hip and then i think september was probably a fair debate. but i think he is playing as well as any of the attacking players in this country and, yeah, he is a little bit different to the other. we have different to the other. we have different types of threat and i think we could need that. did you seak think we could need that. did you speak personally _ think we could need that. did you speak personally to _ think we could need that. did you speak personally to callum - think we could need that. did you i speak personally to callum wilson, was he _ speak personally to callum wilson, was he absolutely delighted? | was he absolutely delighted? haven't was he absolutely delighted? i haven't had a chance with callum but i had a chance forjames because i think there was a lot of speculation this morning thatjames think there was a lot of speculation this morning that james wouldn't be with us and we had decided a couple of weeks ago that we would but we obviously weren't going to go and tell him then. i didn't get a chance to speak with callum wilson. my priority is always the difficult

situations and sad news and that is always really tough. there are not many situations in football harder than that, may be releasing a young player at the early stages of their career... but the nature of those conversations, good and bad, remind you of how much it means to a player to go to a world cup and i am very conscious of that. so it is a great day but also for some, i have had to disappoint them. fine day but also for some, i have had to disappoint them.— disappoint them. one of those is tammy abraham _ disappoint them. one of those is tammy abraham i _ disappoint them. one of those is tammy abraham i suspect. - disappoint them. one of those is j tammy abraham i suspect. what disappoint them. one of those is - tammy abraham i suspect. what was that discussion and debate like in your mind?— that discussion and debate like in ourmind? ., , ., ., your mind? look, tammy has had a oor run your mind? look, tammy has had a poor run of— your mind? look, tammy has had a poor run of scoring _ your mind? look, tammy has had a poor run of scoring form _ your mind? look, tammy has had a poor run of scoring form at - your mind? look, tammy has had a poor run of scoring form at the - poor run of scoring form at the wrong time, really. and it's not a case where we are three or four weeks away from the finals and the start of their first match, we are now ten days. and so form could be more important, i think. we don't really know any other players... we are watching their club form but we

don't really know where they are until we see them face to face, until we see them face to face, until we see them face to face, until we see them on the training pitch. we get regular medical updates from the club is that there will be medical issues that we are not completely aware of yet. we know the form we are seeing in the matches but even so, you still don't get the full picture of the players until you are able to speak with them, work with them and see how they train with each other. you hinted that _ they train with each other. you hinted that you _ they train with each other. you hinted that you wanted extra cover for players — hinted that you wanted extra cover for players that might be struggling with injury and obviously kalvin phillips— with injury and obviously kalvin phillips and kyle walker are the two obvious— phillips and kyle walker are the two obvious ones. how are they, how big a gamble _ obvious ones. how are they, how big a gamble is— obvious ones. how are they, how big a gamble is it to include them in the squad — a gamble is it to include them in the squad and can we assume neither can play— the squad and can we assume neither can play a _ the squad and can we assume neither can play a part really in the opening _ can play a part really in the opening game?— can play a part really in the opening game? can play a part really in the oenin: came? . , ., opening game? that is not the case. kalvin played — opening game? that is not the case. kalvin played last — opening game? that is not the case. kalvin played last night, _ opening game? that is not the case. kalvin played last night, so - opening game? that is not the case. kalvin played last night, so i - opening game? that is not the case. kalvin played last night, so i think. kalvin played last night, so i think with him, he is free of injury. we are aware that he's not going to be able to play 70, 90 minutes, that won't be possible. we are going to

have to build his fitness level but he's available. he is free of injury and we don't really have, you know, we have declan rice as a defensive midfielder, henderson can play there but it's not his number one position. so we don't have a lot of coverfor position. so we don't have a lot of cover for that role in the country and kalvin is a super player and we feel it is a risk worth taking because generally his fitness is good and we think he can add to the group. good and we think he can add to the erou -. �* , good and we think he can add to the ”rou,�* , , ., good and we think he can add to the group-_ kyle - good and we think he can add to the group-_ kyle arei group. and kyle similarly? kyle are a little different _ group. and kyle similarly? kyle are a little different in _ group. and kyle similarly? kyle are a little different in that _ group. and kyle similarly? kyle are a little different in that he - group. and kyle similarly? kyle are a little different in that he is - group. and kyle similarly? kyle are a little different in that he is not. a little different in that he is not backin a little different in that he is not back in full training yet that he will be available before the end of the group stage. of course, we had to make a very difficult call with reece who we think is a fantastic player but he wasn't going to be available, if everything went perfectly, until the latter stages of the tournament and there were too many unknowns for us on that road to recovery. also, i don't think we can

take a player who is not available for the group. that would be deemed arrogant in some circles. but also we would then be dropping, if everything went well and he was available and he was ready and we were picking him, then you'd be dropping him into a quarterfinal after eight weeks out and that would be really demanding. so, yeah, a tough call. kyle is a long way ahead of that and is progressing really well. ., . ., ., a' of that and is progressing really well. ., . ., well. hello, gareth. we look at harry maguire. _ well. hello, gareth. we look at harry maguire, a _ well. hello, gareth. we look at harry maguire, a player- well. hello, gareth. we look at. harry maguire, a player struggling to get— harry maguire, a player struggling to get minutes _ harry maguire, a player struggling to get minutes that _ harry maguire, a player struggling to get minutes that has _ harry maguire, a player struggling to get minutes that has been- harry maguire, a player struggling to get minutes that has been a - to get minutes that has been a constant — to get minutes that has been a constant view, _ to get minutes that has been a constant view, what _ to get minutes that has been a constant view, what was - to get minutes that has been a constant view, what was your. constant view, what was your decision— constant view, what was your decision making _ constant view, what was your decision making progress - constant view, what was your| decision making progress and constant view, what was your- decision making progress and how much _ decision making progress and how much have — decision making progress and how much have you _ decision making progress and how much have you been _ decision making progress and how much have you been in _ decision making progress and how much have you been in touch- decision making progress and how much have you been in touch with| much have you been in touch with manchester — much have you been in touch with manchester united _ much have you been in touch with manchester united about - much have you been in touch with manchester united about what - much have you been in touch with. manchester united about what he's doing _ manchester united about what he's doing when— manchester united about what he's doing when he's_ manchester united about what he's doing when he's not— manchester united about what he's doing when he's not getting - manchester united about what he's doing when he's not getting those i doing when he's not getting those playing _ doing when he's not getting those playing minutes _ doing when he's not getting those playing minutes and _ doing when he's not getting those playing minutes and will - doing when he's not getting those playing minutes and will you - doing when he's not getting those playing minutes and will you be i playing minutes and will you be considering _ playing minutes and will you be considering him _ playing minutes and will you be considering him as _ playing minutes and will you be considering him as an - playing minutes and will you be considering him as an out- playing minutes and will you be considering him as an out and i playing minutes and will you be . considering him as an out and out attacker? — considering him as an out and out attacker? , , .., , �* considering him as an out and out attacker? , , .. , �* ., attacker? physically, we've had really good _ attacker? physically, we've had really good communication - attacker? physically, we've had| really good communication with attacker? physically, we've had . really good communication with all of the clubs in this period on the training loads of all of the players because we've got to pick that up

been up against some really good players in that area of the pitch and there have been moments where we were playing for — 3—3, no number 10, tight profile and that didn't necessarily fit. but he's come as i said earlier, he's playing exceptionally well. we like the fact he finds those pockets of space, he gets turned, he plays forward. not enough players play forward in this day and age. and, of course, his set play delivery is outstanding and he can score goals from distance, which against low block defences is another attribute that is a little bit different to some of our other players. bit different to some of our other -la ers. , ., bit different to some of our other players. john murray from the bbc. hello, gareth. _ players. john murray from the bbc. hello, gareth. can _ players. john murray from the bbc. hello, gareth. can you _ players. john murray from the bbc. hello, gareth. can you give - players. john murray from the bbc. hello, gareth. can you give us - players. john murray from the bbc. hello, gareth. can you give us a . hello, gareth. can you give us a flavour— hello, gareth. can you give us a flavour of— hello, gareth. can you give us a flavour of what james maddison's reaction — flavour of what james maddison's reaction was when he answered and you told _ reaction was when he answered and you told him the news? yes, reaction was when he answered and you told him the news?— reaction was when he answered and you told him the news? yes, he was deliahted. you told him the news? yes, he was delighted- as _ you told him the news? yes, he was delighted- as i _ you told him the news? yes, he was delighted. as i said, _ you told him the news? yes, he was delighted. as i said, i— you told him the news? yes, he was delighted. as i said, i had _ you told him the news? yes, he was delighted. as i said, i had some - delighted. as i said, i had some very difficult calls that were emotionally at the other end of the

spectrum. so, yeah, it was nice to give myself a little bit of an enjoyable end to that because i'm excited about going to a world cup. it's my fourth and that's a privilege and an honour. all of those calls, the difficult ones and the really enjoyable ones were a reminder of what it means to the players. reminder of what it means to the -la ers. �* ., ., reminder of what it means to the -la ers.�* ., ., reminder of what it means to the laers. ., ., , players. and what would you say this 26 ou players. and what would you say this 26 you have — players. and what would you say this 26 you have chosen _ players. and what would you say this 26 you have chosen this _ players. and what would you say this 26 you have chosen this time - players. and what would you say this 26 you have chosen this time has - players. and what would you say this j 26 you have chosen this time has got that makes— 26 you have chosen this time has got that makes it stand out from the other— that makes it stand out from the other two — that makes it stand out from the other two big squads you have picked for the _ other two big squads you have picked for the world cup and the euros? | for the world cup and the euros? i think they've all been good squads. i mean, in 2018, we we re were at the start of something where were at the start of something where we hadn't won a knockout game for ten years and there was a little bit less experience perhaps within the group of big matches. i think this is similar in terms of its standing to the group that went to the euros.

yes, of course, within that period of time, from the start to the end of time, from the start to the end of that, some players have moved on age wise, some players haven't progressed in the way they might have done. new players, young players have emerged that have given us great competition for places in most areas of the pitch. so we are excited by the group. we think there is a lot of exciting talent within it. but the whole group have got to come together. you know, there's a lot of challenges, it's a unique situation for everybody, this tournament, the timing of it and the obstacles just to get to this point medically as much as anything. so we have to adapt better than everybody else in this coming period.— else in this coming period. hello, gareth. else in this coming period. hello, gareth- have _ else in this coming period. hello, gareth. have the _ else in this coming period. hello, gareth. have the fa _ else in this coming period. hello, gareth. have the fa and - else in this coming period. hello, gareth. have the fa and the - else in this coming period. hello, i gareth. have the fa and the players come _ gareth. have the fa and the players come to— gareth. have the fa and the players come to a _ gareth. have the fa and the players come to a collective _ gareth. have the fa and the players come to a collective decision - gareth. have the fa and the players come to a collective decision aboutl come to a collective decision about what you _ come to a collective decision about what you do— come to a collective decision about what you do or— come to a collective decision about what you do or say— come to a collective decision about what you do or say if _ come to a collective decision about what you do or say if members - come to a collective decision aboutl what you do or say if members from the lgbtq _ what you do or say if members from the lgbtq plus—

and deal with it. you spoke about depth in some positions than others is it fair to say that midfield is one of those? is it a disappointment that you haven't had a lot of young midfielders or midfielders of any type emerging as a strong candidates? to type emerging as a strong candidates?— type emerging as a strong candidates? ., , ., ., , candidates? to be fair, dude has emerred candidates? to be fair, dude has emerged more — candidates? to be fair, dude has emerged more in _ candidates? to be fair, dude has emerged more in the _ candidates? to be fair, dude has emerged more in the last - candidates? to be fair, dude has emerged more in the last two i candidates? to be fair, dude has- emerged more in the last two years, or 18 months, since the euros, we put him in at 17, 18. so, everybody says we have got enormous depth but we are 31% of the league last year. i know i talked about that periodically three, four years ago. because the team have done well that has masked that we have only got four english goalkeepers playing in the premier league currently. left backs, there aren't many playing, we

have got an unbelievable injury list of fullbacks at the moment, left and right, quite incredible. numbersix, if you like, defensive, pivot, midfield player. it is also light in terms of developing that position in our country so declan is really a converted defender and kalvin is also slightly converted as well so we haven't produced that type of player for a long time and we haven't produced that type of playerfor a long time and it is something that our academies i think, could focus on but that is for the longer term, that... we have got the players we have got and we are happy with the squad we have got. we always have to find a way of playing to the best attributes of the player we have got and we can be exciting and dangerous even though we don't have those types of profile of players.

after the tournament and we have just got to make sure we focus on the bets we can control. what just got to make sure we focus on the bets we can control. what have ou learnt the bets we can control. what have you learnt from _ the bets we can control. what have you learnt from the _ the bets we can control. what have you learnt from the euros - the bets we can control. what have you learnt from the euros that - the bets we can control. what have you learnt from the euros that you | you learnt from the euros that you can take into the world cup? and why did you decide not to select james ward? ~ g . . . did you decide not to select james ward? , , ., , ward? with james, he is really competing _ ward? with james, he is really competing profile _ ward? with james, he is really competing profile wise - ward? with james, he is really competing profile wise with - competing profile wise with bellingham and henderson. i don't see him in the same profile as rice or phillips. he isjust behind those guys and it is as simple as that. we still have another round of games to get through so, i have spoken to a few of the players to say that things can still change. from the euros, there is loads of things we have learnt, loads of things we have done right, loads that won't apply

in this tournament because it is a different time of the year, more condensed, we don't have warm up games, we are going to be playing in different conditions of heat wise. you are always learning from every tournament but also there are unique things around every tournament as well and we have got to make sure that we weave all of that together. have you spoken to ben white? know, the only people _ have you spoken to ben white? know, the only people i _ have you spoken to ben white? know, the only people i have _ have you spoken to ben white? know, the only people i have spoken - have you spoken to ben white? know, the only people i have spoken to - the only people i have spoken to other ones i have already mentioned. i would imagine... other ones i have already mentioned. iwould imagine... i hope he other ones i have already mentioned. i would imagine... i hope he is very excited about being involved. just followinr excited about being involved. just following on from what you just said. _ following on from what you just said, could you give us detail about the standby? is there a form of standby— the standby? is there a form of standby list?— the standby? is there a form of standb list? ., ., ., ., standby list? know we had to name basically every _ standby list? know we had to name basically every player _ standby list? know we had to name basically every player that - standby list? know we had to name basically every player that was - basically every player that was available on a long list, —— no.

clearly, they are going to be the next one is in their positions, but we just next one is in their positions, but wejust don't next one is in their positions, but we just don't know what might happen. in the next few days. i think there are two left backs that got injured last night, for example. we have got to be fluid, adaptable, and ready for anything. haifa and ready for anything. how stressful — and ready for anything. how stressful is _ and ready for anything. how stressful is this _ and ready for anything. how stressful is this weekend - and ready for anything. how stressful is this weekend going to be for— stressful is this weekend going to be for you? not stressful is this weekend going to be for you?— be for you? not for me. there is nothin: i be for you? not for me. there is nothing i can _ be for you? not for me. there is nothing i can do _ be for you? not for me. there is nothing i can do about _ be for you? not for me. there is nothing i can do about it. - be for you? not for me. there is i nothing i can do about it. watching the matches unfold you are always intrigued to see how the tactical games are going, their performances, the results, the form of the players, of course. we can do nothing about the injuries, that is out of our hands. we have already been hit in that way and it could happen again. we have to adapt, we have good players to come in and it will be opportunities for others if we lose people.

also where are the flaws in the opponent to be able to exploit them. one final question about gallagher, who was a little bit of a surprise but that is because we know he is so well known and well established. what does he offer and how are you going to use him because he is a little bit more forward thinking? yes, but also he is fantastic at pressing the ball and i think there are going to be moments in this game where we need certain attributes and there are any numbers of players in there are any numbers of players in the squad with different attributes to be able to use at those moments. we feel that he could be that sort of a player. he is not as experience with us at some of the others, but he has an impact on games, he has a goal stretch, he has an impact on games, he has a goalstretch, he... when he has an impact on games, he has a goal stretch, he... when you talk about midfield players you think did

they stop girls? they create goals, delay score goals? he does a bit of all of that. we were really pleased about the way that he responded to being left out of our squad when the under 21 is performed really well his mentality was excellent and it is a great example that if you approach it in the right way there is a route back with us, always. he has managed to achieve that straightaway. abs, has managed to achieve that straightaway.— has managed to achieve that straightaway. a number of our -la ers straightaway. a number of our players are — straightaway. a number of our players are short _ straightaway. a number of our players are short of _ straightaway. a number of our players are short of their- straightaway. a number of our players are short of their top i straightaway. a number of our - players are short of their top form at the _ players are short of their top form at the moment and short of their top form of— at the moment and short of their top form of england with recent performances for fitness, how are we going _ performances for fitness, how are we going to _ performances for fitness, how are we going to transform that over the coming — going to transform that over the coming weeks before the first game? and how— coming weeks before the first game? and how he _ coming weeks before the first game? and how he will the group stages be in building _ and how he will the group stages be in building their confidence and building — in building their confidence and building that form, essentially? form _ building that form, essentially? form can — building that form, essentially? form can be temporary, but that is a very individual thing and the key is

the work on the training pitch. we don't have a long time to do that so we have to see very quickly how people present, we have a pretty good idea of where people stand at the moment but there is also opportunity here because there are players who are in good form who could push their way into the starting 11. we are not steadfast on an 11, i think there are some players that we are pretty certain next week will be in the starting team but there are a number of positions that we want to look at and to see exactly how people present. part of that is the schedule that they are coming in off, as well. some have played every three days for the last five, six weeks. wejust three days for the last five, six weeks. we just don't know what the impact of that is going to be. 21 of

the 26 names _ impact of that is going to be. 21 of the 26 names were _ impact of that is going to be. 21 of the 26 names were in _ impact of that is going to be. 21 rrf the 26 names were in the original euro squad, what does that tell you about the foundation you have got and is the best yet to come from the group you know so well? i and is the best yet to come from the group you know so well?— group you know so well? i think that if ou aet group you know so well? i think that if you get to — group you know so well? i think that if you get to the _ group you know so well? i think that if you get to the final— group you know so well? i think that if you get to the final of— group you know so well? i think that if you get to the final of the - if you get to the final of the competition 18 months ago there should be a fair amount of stability in terms of what that group are capable of on the biggest stage. but also, room for people who were playing well to come into the group and we have always tried to work that way. i think... i and we have always tried to work that way. ithink... i know and we have always tried to work that way. i think... i know people talk about being overly loyal, but you have got to have some consistency in your thinking because it is hard to build something without having that consistency and then others can come in and thrive. without doubt, there are a number of players who will be better for the experiences they have already had, the key now is that we have to show that on the biggest stage. has the key now is that we have to show

that on the biggest stage.— that on the biggest stage. has it been hard to _ that on the biggest stage. has it been hard to break— that on the biggest stage. has it been hard to break into - that on the biggest stage. has it been hard to break into the - that on the biggest stage. has it been hard to break into the squad? that on the biggest stage. has it - been hard to break into the squad? i would argue that across 18 months, five is quite a big turnaround because there is only conair in terms of young ones who has come in i think. into that. i'm trying to think back 18 months. we've looked at one or two others which we have sadly lost, i think most international teams or teams across a period of 18 months wouldn't change much more than four or five players. brute change much more than four or five -la ers. ~ . players. we will leave it there. thank you _ players. we will leave it there. thank you everybody. - players. we will leave it there. thank you everybody. see - players. we will leave it there. thank you everybody. see you | players. we will leave it there. i thank you everybody. see you in 0atar~ _ england manager gareth southgate wrapping up that conference there.

the main focus on who is in and he was out. the biggest name, james maddison, speculation for a long time over whether he would make it and whether he would be picked. he is, he is an. interestingly, gareth southgate revealed that we decided that a few weeks ago. he was fairly relaxed about that. interesting players who are not going. football fans at times like this always get very annoyed about who has not been included. but, there is a caveat of course, there are games this weekend, there could be injuries, the names could change. interestingly, gareth southgate, when asked about issues besides football and would he stop talking about them once the football started come? his quote was, highly unlikely. so all those issues about qatar hosting the world cup will continue from when the football stats. we will have plenty more

reaction from those names to those squad a little later in the programme. we will turn out to uk domestic news and a story with particular distressing details. man has been sentenced to an additional 15 years in prison for murdering his partner who died 21 years after he doused her in petrol and set on fire. his victim was 40 when she was attacked in somerset in 1998. she suffered horrendous injuries, and steven craig served more than 15 years in prison after being convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent. then last year he was charged with her murder — following ms kirk's death in 2019. jenny kumah reports. looked down and when i looked down, ijust...i just went up. jacqueline kirk spoke to the bbc 20

years ago about her horrific attack. badly burned, she spent nine months in hospitalfollowing the incident. she needed a tube in her windpipe to breathe and it affected her speech. people are so shocked. and that's what they see, is that, but then they don't see me. jacqueline kirk's ex partner, steven craig, poured petrol over her in 1998. he set her on fire in this car park in weston—super—mare. he is said to have been inspired by a scene in the film reservoir dogs. today, more than 20 years after that attack, craig was sentenced for murder. there is no doubt that you planned and intended to engage in a gratuitous, deliberate and monstrous attack onjackie during that road trip with whatever means at your disposal and to intimidate her psychologically to cause maximum physical and mental pain over a period of days. her daughter says despite her injuries, she remained resilient and determined to live a full life.

she was a fighter. she always kind of beat the odds. she was very, very stubborn. most people would describe her- as stubborn and that's normally seen as a negative thingm but for her it was a l very positive thing. jacqueline kirk, who you were convicted for... yeah. ...gbh. craig was convicted for gbh for the attack in 2000 and released from prison on licence three years ago. today's ruling means he'll now serve an additional 15 years for murder. she died from her injuries. yes. which now makes me responsible for murder? that's right, yeah. during the trial, the court heard conflicting medical evidence but the jury agreed with experts, like her consultant, tim cook, who said that injuries to her airway and torso were partly responsible for her diaphragm rupturing and that doctors felt that her condition was too high risk to operate. this is jacqueline kirk before the attack. her family say although she died decades later because of her injuries, she herself was not defeated by the crime.

they remember her as a strong willed, rebellious and witty. jenny kumar, bbc news. the senior investigating officer spoke outside after the sentencing. i am detective chief inspector from the major crime scene avon and somerset police. i have a short statement i would like to read on the family and the police. it is difficult to put into work the impact the perpetrators actions have had onjacqueline and her family. had onjacqueline and herfamily. whilst i never metjackie, from had onjacqueline and herfamily. whilst i never met jackie, from what her children tell me, she was truly a remarkable woman. she overcame numerous challenges with an incredible determination and fought with great dignity to rediscover the life that she had before she was attacked. i expect that her

resilience was one of the reasons why she surprised doctors and survived for a further 21 years during which time she saw her children grow up, get married and have children of their own. stephen craig was undoubtedly responsible forjacqueline's death and like all murderers deserves to be punished and once again i would like to thank jackie's family for their support and the courage they have shown not just during the course of this investigation and court case but for the past 24 years. i hope that they can move onto the next chapter of their lives knowing thatjustice has been done. president zelensky has said ukraine is moving very carefully, following russia's announcement that it is withdrawing its troops from the southern city of kherson. russia's pullout comes just six weeks after president putin declared that he was annexing the highly prized regional capital city, along with three other areas. 0ur international editor,

jeremy bowen, is in 0desa and explained what this latest move by russia could mean for the wider conflict it means festival that the war isn't over. while this is a serious defeat for the russians having to pull back because the plan was, originally, that once they got to her son they could push further down the black sea coast and perhaps even threaten this city are death are the one that they are men. and therefore, control most of ukraine access. the defeat is something they have effectively accepted publicly. pulling back on the other side of the dnipro river which is a very considerable body of water might turn out to be one of the more sensible from the russian point of view, military decision since they've made because i have been to the front area where the

russians are at the moment which is outside of kherson city itself on miles and miles of flat farmland and there are no natural defensible position is there. a few miles away, on the other side of the dnipro river in built bunkers which they have been constructing out of concrete, and where they have supposedly some of their best forces, they are going to be a much more difficult proposition for the ukrainians. if the ukrainian's ever decided that they would try to mount some kind of assault over the river that would be a very tough military undertaking. to the us now. president biden has decided to run for the us elections again after the party did better

than thought. the democrats are expected to lose control of the house of congress. 0ur north american correspondent reports from washington. america woke up to its latest reality. it still doesn't know who won the midterm elections. hey, buddy. joe biden, congratulations. congratulations. president biden looked relieved. the so—called red wave didn't happen. it had been predicted the republicans would dominate. he rang up winning democrats to say congratulations. congratulations. i'm so excited for you. back in a suit and tie president biden addressed the media. and it was a good day, i think, for democracy, and i think it was a good day for america. pennsylvania gave him his biggest win. the hoodie—wearing stroke survivor john fetterman beat the tv celebrity dr mehmet oz. he was backed by donald trump. many of mr trump's other candidates lost, suggesting his power over the party may be diminishing

and strengthening in the hands of another republican rising conservative star ron desantis, who secured the governor race in florida. the people have delivered their verdict. freedom is here to stay. the race for the senate has come down to three states, including the state of georgia. we won't know the result of that until december. but republicans look set to take the house, which could impact president biden's ability to get laws passed. and let me say this, regardless, regardless of what the final tally in these elections show, and there's still some counting going on, i'm prepared to work with my republican colleagues. but will the republicans work with him? it's likely that mr biden will run for the white house again, but it's very unlikely that his opponents will help make the rest of his term successful as they focus on winning the presidency in 2024. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington.

the chief executive of the high street chain next is urging the government to allow more foreign workers into the uk to deal with labour shortages. lord wolfson, the conservative peer who was a prominent backer of brexit, said the uk's current immigration policy was crippling growth. he's been speaking to our business editor simonjack. we've got people queuing up to come to this country to pick crops that are rotting in fields, to work in warehouses that otherwise wouldn't be operable. and we're not letting them in. we have to take a different approach to economically productive migration. we have to control immigration, but we have to control it in such a way that benefits our economy rather than cripples it. you were a pro—brexit businessperson — perhaps in a slight minority in that sense. you've got growth down, taxes are rising, trade has fallen very significantly. was this the brexit you wanted?

i think, in respect of immigration, it's definitely not the brexit that i wanted or indeed many people who voted brexit, but more importantly, the vast majority of the country. and we have to remember, we're all stuck in this brexit argument. we have to remember that what post—brexit britain looks like is not the preserve of those people who voted brexit. it's for all of us to decide. and when you look at the majority of people in britain, i think they have a very pragmatic view to immigration. yes, control it where it's damaging to society, but let people in who can contribute. we're looking at an incredible squeeze, the worst squeeze on income since the 19505. and it only looks like it's going to get worse as people have to refinance their mortgages. what do you think is the outlook? you've got some retail antenna — some of the best in the business. what do you see for next year? i think next year's going to be very tough. we're going to be in a recession. but i think there's a difference between recession and the end of the world. it's going to be difficult, but it's not going to be impossible. and the interesting thing about a supply side recession is that the seeds of correction are automatically sown. so as demand drops and factories begin to empty, then prices begin to come down.

and we're already seeing, beginning to see, factory prices for autumn/winter next year, spring/summer the following year, beginning to come down in dollar terms. so we can already see the seeds of recovery in �*24, we just have to make sure that we get through next year in good shape. i think the one sort of silver lining to this recession is that we are in full employment and there are lots and lots of vacancies — too many vacancies. it's one of the things that's causing so much inflation. so whilst people will be squeezed, it's very unlikely that they won't be able to find work. and that's what makes this recession very different from, say, what we saw in the early �*90s and the �*80s. that was next boss lord wolfson speaking to our business editor simonjack. now it's time for a look

at the weather with ben rich. it will be the feel of the weather the most notable thing over the next couple of days. it's going to be exceptionally mild by day and by night but extremely wet for some in the north—west of the uk because of this stripe of the cloud. i have zoomed out a long way to show you this satellite image because the stripe of cloud extends across a large swathes of the atlantic and it will bring heavy persistent rain to north—western areas but ahead of that, we are putting up this extremely warm air from the south and temperatures really are responding. through the rest of the afternoon, very mild indeed but with extensive cloud cover and a few breaks in the cloud and it's going to remain windy with gusts of 50 mph or more particularly in the north—west of the uk where you will see heavy and persistent rain. top temperatures of 15—17 . let's focus on the rain. it will continue across parts of northern ireland and especially the western side of scotland as we go through this evening and tonight. through the rest of today and tomorrow we will see a total of 100 millimetres of rain in some locations. that could cause one or two issues. elsewhere through the night,

largely drive still extensive cloud cover and the odd patch of drizzle and the temperatures, well, on average at this time of year we would expect temperatures to drop between two and 6 degrees across the uk but tonight we are looking at values of more than 14 or 15 degrees so an extraordinarily mild nights at the time of year and a very mild start to tomorrow and the same set up with a strong south—westerly winds and particularly gusty across south—east scotland. a further heavy rain across northern ireland in the western side scotland. best of the sunshine down towards the south and east and temperatures widely15—17 . it made a up some eastern parts of scotland will get warmer than that with shudder from the breeze and how's of 18 or 19 degrees. saturday does look similar and it won't be as windy, there will still be rain across parts of northern ireland and the north west of scotland but more in the way of sunshine

across england and wales especially where temperatures will peak at around 18 degrees. and sunday still very mild for the time of year. most places will be dry but we will see cloud and some

this is bbc news — i'm lewis vaughanjones. the headlines at 3:00: gareth southgate announces his 26 man england squad for the 2022 world cup — with harry maguire, harry kane and jude bellingham among the names on the plane to qatar. that we think the balance is there and we have cover in the positions we need. we are lighter on depth in some positions than others in our country. but we think we've got everything covered. the woman who died 21 years after her partner poured petrol on her and set her alight — he has now been sentenced for her murder. a sharp rise in the number

of people waiting longer than the target time for cancer treatment — with the number of patients waiting more than 62 days doubling over the last four years in england, scotland and northern ireland. would the chemo have done any good if he'd had that sooner? i honestly don't know. it's not... ..not something we're ever going to be able to answer and we've got to live with that. moscow confirms russian troops are withdrawing from the key city of kherson — the only regional capital it had captured since the invasion of ukraine began. ahead of remembrance sunday — the second world war veterans reflecting on the sacrifice of those who fought for britain's freedom. i like to think the local youngsters today remember as sailors, soldiers, airmen and civilians who gave their lives for the freedom that we enjoy today. in cricket — england thrash india to reach the t20 cricket world cup final.

hello and welcome to the programme. england have announced their squad for the world cup. leicester city's james maddison, manchester united's marcus rashford and the newcastle united striker callum wilson have all been included. but ivan toney and james ward—prowse are among the names to miss out. the three lions kick—off their group b camopaign in 11 days' time against iran. in a news conference in the last hour or so, manager gareth southgate was asked why maddison, who's only played once before for his country, had been called up.

he's playing really well. look, he's a good player, we've always said he's a good player. he's earned the right. we think he can give us something slightly different to the other attacking players that we've got. so i think at various stages, there have been conversations, debates about james. there's there have been conversations, debates aboutjames. there's been moments where debates about james. there's been moments where ahead debates aboutjames. there's been moments where ahead of debates about james. there's been moments where ahead of the debates aboutjames. there's been moments where ahead of the euros, i don't think he was in contention. he had a bit of a problem with his hip and then i think september was probably a fair debate but i think he's playing as well as any of the attacking players in this country and, yeah, here's a little bit different to the others. we've got different to the others. we've got different types of threat and i think we could need that. so good news for him _ think we could need that. so good news for him and _ think we could need that. so good news for him and some _ think we could need that. so good news for him and some of- think we could need that. so good news for him and some of the - think we could need that. so good . news for him and some of the players who have been included have been given their reaction. chelsea's mason mount has reacted to his inclusion and after featuring at euro 2020, the 23—year—old will now

be playing in his first world cup. take a look at his message. let's talk to our football reporter alex howell who's at football association's national football centre in burton upon trent. hello, alex. so we now know the names, what do you make of them? 50. names, what do you make of them? so, it's a squad. _ names, what do you make of them? 5h, it's a squad, like names, what do you make of them? 5r>, it's a squad, like you names, what do you make of them? 5h, it's a squad, like you say, of the most talked about player being james

maddison, he is included. that was the big topic of debate, whether his form would be enough to get him into this great heading to qatar. then the next surprise he would probably say is chelsea's conor gallagher being included. there wasn't too much discussion about whether he would be in this group for the world cup. he wasn't in the last international break that gareth southgate said he different type of profile to the other midfielders included. then kalvin phillips, another midfielder, has been deemed fit enough to be included to go to the world cup. he has been out for a number of weeks following shoulder surgery but he did come on for manchester city yesterday. elsewhere, if you are looking in the squad, there is luke shaw from manchester united. the only recognised left back in this group and then in the forwards you have marcus rashford an den callum wilson, who hasn't played for his country for a long, long time but is in red—hot form for newcastle. so gareth southgate will be very

you can see the reasoning is behind these players being in. although you can understand why some of the players who have made it would be very disappointed. fight! players who have made it would be very disappointed.— players who have made it would be very disappointed. and away from the football because _ very disappointed. and away from the football because in _ very disappointed. and away from the football because in the _ very disappointed. and away from the football because in the press - football because in the press conference in the last hour or so, gareth southgate was asked about some of the issues, cattle being the host and the various issues we have been covering and reporting on in the last weeks and months. —— kattar being the hose. he was asked if he was not talking about those when the football starts and he said, quote, highly unlikely, what do you make of that? i highly unlikely, what do you make of that? 4' highly unlikely, what do you make of that? ~ ., , .., . we that? i think that is correct. we stand for inclusivity _ that? i think that is correct. we stand for inclusivity and - that? i think that is correct. we stand for inclusivity and we - that? i think that is correct. we stand for inclusivity and we are | stand for inclusivity and we are very— stand for inclusivity and we are very strong on that. that is important in terms of all our supporters and we understand the challenges that this tournament brings— challenges that this tournament brings within that. if it wasn't for the strength of that community, we wouldn't _ the strength of that community, we wouldn't be women's european champions. so it's very, very important _ champions. so it's very, very important to us.

alex, what do you make of that? so he alex, what do you make of that? 5r he referenced the lioness as group and the reason that they are champions it is because of that community and like he said, it's highly unlikely that this team and gareth southgate himself are not going to speak about issues off the field. that is one of the main things that he has changed since he's come in, the culture around the team and help free the players and staff feel to speak about issues they feel they can have an effect on. captain harry kane is wearing the 0nelove armband, which is an armband and message against all kinds of discrimination and in support of inclusion. so it's going to be something that is talked about every game because every match that england play, harry kane is going to be wearing the armband. bled... england play, harry kane is going to be wearing the armband. alex, great stuff, be wearing the armband. alex, great stuff. thank — be wearing the armband. alex, great stuff. thank you _ be wearing the armband. alex, great stuff, thank you for _ be wearing the armband. alex, great stuff, thank you for that. _ be wearing the armband. alex, great stuff, thank you for that. we - be wearing the armband. alex, great stuff, thank you for that. we will - stuff, thank you for that. we will come back and chat with you a little bit later. joining me now to discuss this is kevin garside, who is chief sports correspondent

there's been a steep increase in the number of people facing long waiting times for cancer care across england, scotland and northern ireland over the last four years. the number of patients waiting longer than the target of 62 days for cancer treatment — such as chemotherapy or surgery — has doubled since 2018, to 69,000. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has this report. married for more than 50 years, wendy and tony had seen each other through thick and thin. in september of last year, wendy's husband had a routine chest x—ray. it wasn't until november he was informed there was something abnormal and was eventually told it was terminal lung cancer in january. we assumed, obviously wrongly, that if we hadn't heard anything, everything must be all right. tony died at the end of february, but that long delay in diagnosis and treatment still torments wendy and her children. it seems that it was the big delay at the beginning between when tony

had his x—ray and someone then raised concerns about what they saw on that x—ray — that was the thing? yes. and i'm not saying the end result wouldn't have been the same. it would, i know that. i think he perhaps might have had a little bit longer. would the chemo have done any good, if he'd had that sooner? i honestly don't know. it's not... ..not something we're ever going to be able to answer. and we've got to live with that. and my children have got to live with that, which is even harder. the nhs in england says more patients are being diagnosed with cancer at an earlier stage than ever before. that really improves a patient�*s chances of a good outcome. at lewisham hospital in south london, these new, faster scanners are being used to reduce waiting times. the scanners are providing the trust with increased capacity so we can scan more patients. they are also providing us

with a much better image quality and reduced scan times, so we are able to scan an extra 20 patients a week with our new mri scanner that we weren't able to do before and an extra 50 patients a week on the ct scanner that we weren't able to do before. the demand for cancer services is growing. well done, we're all finished. we're going to come in now. in august of this year, more than a quarter of a million people were checked following an urgent gp referral, the highest number on record. but that all adds pressure to the system. i know that all those in the nhs are working as hard as they possibly can to try and support patients. but what i'm concerned about is that it doesn't look like the targets are being met and the government are looking at changing the targets. so i don't feel optimistic. if things go wrong, the impact can be devastating. at tony's old golf club, his family have planted a tree with his ashes. hiya, love. 0k today? yeah?

still got some leaves left. they'll never know for sure if the delay in his diagnosis and treatment contributed to his death. but the worry is that many thousands more are living with the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with cancer. dominic hughes, bbc news. you can find out how your local hospital trust or health board is performing on cancer referrals on the bbc news website. figures from nhs england show a record number of patients had to wait at least four hours in a and e departments last month. there's also been an increase in the number of people waiting to start hospital treatment. 0ur health correspondent jim reid has been going through the numbers. it really paints a picture of a health service under pressure as we go into that really important winter period when doctors and nurses are under more pressure anyway because of everything else that goes on in the winter. if you look at a&e

waiting times, there is this measure which is four hours. when you turn up which is four hours. when you turn up in a&e, the target is 95% of people should be seen and then either discharged or moved into a ward within four hours per stop looking at the most recent figures, this is for october, 30.7% of people were not. so the target is 95% say they actually hit about 69%. so well below their target. actually, if you look at the fog elite figures in scotland, wales and northern ireland, they are roughly similar, a bit higher in northern ireland. so you can see the pressure doctors and nurses are under. just you can see the pressure doctors and nurses are under.— nurses are under. just on that before you — nurses are under. just on that before you move _ nurses are under. just on that before you move on, - nurses are under. just on that before you move on, that - nurses are under. just on that before you move on, that is i nurses are under. just on that before you move on, that is a | before you move on, that is a significant distance away from the target time. it's a particularly unusual, is it to be expected? this is the highest _ unusual, is it to be expected? this is the highest on _ unusual, is it to be expected? try 3 is the highest on record. there is a separate measure which is also equally concerning doctors, which is when you turn up to a&e, this is for the sickest patients, if you then have to be admitted to a ward. so you are seen by doctor and they say we can't deal with you on a&e, you have to go to a specialist ward, the

figure there at the moment is the number of people waiting more than 12 hours after that point. so you get told you have to be moved. you are still stuck in a&e for another 12 hours from that point. that went up 12 hours from that point. that went up to 43,000 people in october. that was a jump of about a third on the previous month. actually the biggest monthlyjump we have ever had on record. so again, it's painting this picture of a&e, emergency services, ambulances all being under quite significant pressure. the other way of looking at it is when we look at waiting lists. it is waiting lists for routine treatment. at the moment, again there was a rise last month. this is the end of september, beginning of october, just over 7 million, 7.1 million people. again, this is england only, now waiting for treatment was that that is one in eight people in england currently on a waiting list. the number waiting for more than 12 months has been going up as well. so again big pressure on the health service, big pressure on the health service, big

pressure on the government and politicians at the moment looking at these figures. politicians at the moment looking at these figures-— these figures. thanks to jim for takin: us these figures. thanks to jim for taking us through _ these figures. thanks to jim for taking us through the _ these figures. thanks to jim for taking us through the numbers| these figures. thanks to jim for - taking us through the numbers there. the headlines, gareth southgate announces his 26 man england squad for the 2022 world cup with leicester city midfielderjames maddison called into this god. a sharp rise in the number of people waiting longer than the target time for cancer treatment to stop the number of patients waiting more than 62 days doubling over the last four years in england, scotland and northern ireland. a man has been sentenced to an additional 15 years in prison for murdering his partner — who died 21 years after he doused her in petrol and set her on fire. jacqueline kirk was 40 when she was attacked in somerset in 1998. she suffered horrendous injuries, and steven craig served more than 15 years in prison, after being convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent.

then last year, he was charged with her murder — following ms kirk's death in 2019. jenny kumah reports. a warning that there are distressing images and content right from the start of this report. looked down and when i looked down, ijust...i just went up. jacqueline kirk spoke to the bbc 20 years ago about her horrific attack. badly burned, she spent nine months in hospitalfollowing the incident. she needed a tube in her windpipe to breathe and it affected her speech. people are so shocked. and that's what they see, is that, but then they don't see me. jacqueline kirk's ex partner, steven craig, poured petrol over her in 1998. he set her on fire in this car park in weston—super—mare. he is said to have been inspired by a scene in the film reservoir dogs. today, more than 20 years after that attack, craig was sentenced for murder.

there is no doubt that you planned and intended to engage in a gratuitous, deliberate and monstrous attack onjackie during that road trip with whatever means at your disposal and to intimidate her psychologically to cause maximum physical and mental pain over a period of days. her daughter says despite her injuries, she remained resilient and determined to live a full life. she was a fighter. she always kind of beat the odds. she was very, very stubborn. most people would describe her- as stubborn and that's normally seen as a negative thingm but for her it was a l very positive thing. jacqueline kirk, who you were convicted for... yeah. ...gbh. craig was convicted for gbh for the attack in 2000 and released from prison on licence three years ago. today's ruling means he'll now serve an additional 15 years for murder. she died from her injuries. yes.

which now makes me responsible for murder? that's right, yeah. during the trial, the court heard conflicting medical evidence but the jury agreed with experts, like her consultant, tim cook, who said that injuries to her airway and torso were partly responsible for her diaphragm rupturing and that doctors felt that her condition was too high risk to operate. this is jacqueline kirk before the attack. her family say although she died decades later because of her injuries, she herself was not defeated by the crime. they remember her as a strong willed, rebellious and witty. jenny kumar, bbc news. the senior investigating officer in the case, spoke outside following the sentencing. good afternoon everyone. my name's mark almond, i'm a detective chief inspector from the major crime team in avon and somerset police. ijust have a short statement i'd like to read on behalf ofjackie

and herfamily and the police. it's difficult to put into words the impact steven craig's actions have had on both jacqueline and herfamily. while i never metjackie, from her children tell me, she was truly a remarkable woman. she overcame numerous challenges with an incredible determination and fought with great dignity to rediscover the life that she had before she was attacked. i expect that her resilience was one of the reasons why she surprised doctors and survived for a further 21 years, during which time she saw her children grow up, get married and have children of their own. steven craig was undoubtably responsible forjackie's death and, like all murderers, deserves to be severely punished. and, once again, i would like to thankjackie's family for their support and praise them for the courage they've shown, notjust during the course of this investigation and court case but for the past 24 years. ijust hope that they can move

on to the next chapter of their lives knowing thatjustice has been done. we are going to move on to look at the war in ukraine now. president zelensky has said ukraine is moving very carefully, following russia's announcement that it is withdrawing its troops from the southern city of kherson. russia's pullout comes just six weeks after president putin declared that he was annexing the highly prized regional capital city, along with three other areas. 0ur international editor, jeremy bowen, is in 0desa and explained what this latest move by russia could mean for the wider conflict. well, it means first of all that the war isn't over. in a strange kind of way, while this is a serious defeat for the russians, having to pull back, because the plan was originally that once they got to kherson, they could push further down the black sea coast and perhaps even threaten this city, 0desa, the one that i'm in, and therefore control most of ukraine's access to the sea. now that hasn't happened.

but the defeat is something they've now effectively accepted publicly. but pulling back on the other side of the dnipro river, which is a very considerable body of water, to prepared positions might turn out to be one of the more sensible, from the russian point of view, military decisions that they've made since the invasion. because i've been to the front line area where the russians are at the moment, which is outside kherson city itself, on miles and miles and miles of absolutely flat farmland and there are no natural defensible positions there. but a few miles away, on the other side of the dnipro river, in built bunkers, which they have been constructing out of concrete and where they have supposedly some of their best forces, they're going to be a much more difficult proposition for the ukrainians, because if the ukrainians ever decided they would try to mount some kind of assault over the river,

that would be a very tough military undertaking. thanks to jeremie for that. it's the last day of hearings at the grenfell public inquiry — the inquiry looked into the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the devestating fire that killed 72 people in a block of flats in london on the night of 14june 2017. train drivers will go on strike on saturday 26th of november in a dispute over pay. aslef negotiators have been engaged in talks with the industry but there has, so far, been no offer on pay. the january secretary said he regrets passengers will be inconvenienced for another day but he said that they have no choice but to take strike action

again. a 21st hour strike by london underground workers is causing disruption in the capital. nine out of 11 tube lines are shut as part of a long—running dispute aboutjobs and pensions. members of the rmt and unite unions are striking after talks with transport for london failed to reach an agreement. we will come back to those tube strikes in a moment but first let's get a bit more on those trained strikes. katie austin is here. talk us through what is happening with the trains. today we have had aslef _ happening with the trains. today we have had aslef which _ happening with the trains. today we have had aslef which represents - happening with the trains. today we i have had aslef which represents most train drivers announcing another strike, on saturday 26th of november. it will be quite a wide scale strike again across 12 companies around the country. i won't redo the fullness but it includes avanti won't redo the fullness but it includes ava nti west coast, south—eastern, greater anglia, great western railway and some in the midlands as well. so quite a spread around the country. it will be extremely disruptive if it is

anything like their previous train drivers' strikes. i think we have seen four of those so far this year and this dispute is over pay. so aslef says essentially that train drivers at these companies are being asked to accept a real terms pay cut and they want a pay offer to be made that helps them keep up with the rising cost of living, with inflation. i havejust had a statement from the train companies or the rail delivery group who speaks for these train companies saying, we are incredibly frustrated aslef leadership has decided to take further strike action. they urge them to work with the industry to secure a pay deal and the changes needed for the industry to thrive in the long term. i mean that gets to the long term. i mean that gets to the nub of it really. what is going on is the industry argues they need to agree reforms to working practices before they can then move on to an offer on pay. but of course the drivers unionjust on to an offer on pay. but of course the drivers union just says, on to an offer on pay. but of course the drivers unionjust says, look, we need a pay rise, we haven't had

nobody will lose theirjob and it says no proposals have actually been tabled so far on pensions. so that is where we are without a very disruptive day and it's also worth remembering, it might spill over into tomorrow morning as well. so if you're travelling on public transport tomorrow, watch out for that. . ~ transport tomorrow, watch out for that. ., ,, , ., ., transport tomorrow, watch out for that. ., ,, ., ., ,, ., that. thank you for talking through that. the queen consort has commemorated the nation's war dead at a ceremony at westminster abbey's field of remembrance. camilla laid a cross — in memory of those who have died in conflict — in the company of old sailors, soldiers and airmen. more than 1,000 veterans gathered in the grounds of westminster abbey for the ceremony. now let's get the weather. good afternoon. we are going to see some exceptionally high temperatures for the time of year — by day and by night — over the next couple of days. an exceptionally mild feel but very, very wet in the north—west

sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. as you mentioned, with 11 days to go until england kick—off their world cup campaign, gareth southgate has confirmed the 26—man group that will be travelling to qatar. much of the team are tried and tested, but probably the most eye catching on that list are james maddison and callum wilson, getting their first international call—ups in three years. maddison's only england cap came as a substitute against montenegro in november 2019, the last squad wilson was involved he is playing really well. he's a good player. we have always said he is a good player. he has earned the right, we think he can give us

something slightly different to the other attacking players that we have got. but i think he is playing as well as any of the attacking players in this country and he is a little bit different to the others. we have got different types of threat and i think we could need that. leicester city have been quick to take to social media to tweet about their man. they've been posting their conratualtions to maddison, along wiht a statement from manager brendan rogers, who said, this is a man who has shown resilience and passion to keep fighting and working. now he's in the squad, it won't stop. southampton have named nathanjones as their new manager. he leaves championship side luton, to take over at southampton who are in the premier league relegation zone. jones says a lot of his family are saints fans and he knows a lot about the club. his first match in charge will be at liverpool on saturday. england will play pakistan in the final of the men's t20 cricket world cup on sunday

james ward—prowse, ivan tony, for quite a while england fans have been saying he deserves a chance given that he had been doing well for brentford, he was eventually given a squad call—up for the last games against italy and germany, unfortunately he didn't get on the pitch. now he hasn't made the squat. although, there is an issue which is acknowledged of betting. that may have gone against him. i do feel a little bit for ivan. brute have gone against him. i do feel a little bit for ivan.— have gone against him. i do feel a little bit for ivan. we now know the names, little bit for ivan. we now know the names. they _ little bit for ivan. we now know the names. they may _ little bit for ivan. we now know the names, they may change, - little bit for ivan. we now know the names, they may change, still- little bit for ivan. we now know the names, they may change, still a i little bit for ivan. we now know the | names, they may change, still a bit of time to go before we start but let's not dwell on that too much.

how well can england do? i'd like to think we can win it or i'd love to think we can win it or i'd love to think we can win it or i'd love to think we can. i think we've got to be looking at the quarterfinals as a bare minimum. brute be looking at the quarterfinals as a bare minimum.— be looking at the quarterfinals as a bare minimum. we shall see. thank ou ve bare minimum. we shall see. thank you very much. _ bare minimum. we shall see. thank you very much, great _ bare minimum. we shall see. thank you very much, great to _ bare minimum. we shall see. thank you very much, great to have - bare minimum. we shall see. thank you very much, great to have your. you very much, great to have your thoughts. now to the us, president biden has signalled his intention to run again. despite that, the democrats are expected to take a hit. some results are still to be announced. 0ur north american correspondent reports. america woke up to its latest reality.

it still doesn't know who won the mid—term elections. hey, buddy. joe biden. congratulations, man. congratulations. president biden looked relieved. the so—called "red wave" didn't happen. it had been predicted the republicans would dominate. he rang up winning democrats to say congratulations. congratulations. i'm so excited for you. back in a suit and tie, president biden addressed the media. and it was a good day, i think, for democracy. and i think it was a good day for america. pennsylvania gave him his biggest win — the hoodie—wearing stroke survivor, john fetterman, beat the tv celebrity dr mehmet oz. he was backed by donald trump. many of mr trump's other candidates lost, suggesting his power over the party may be diminishing... ..and strengthening in the hands of another republican, rising conservative star ron desantis, who secured the governor race in florida. the people have delivered their verdict. freedom is here to stay! the race for the senate has come down to three states, including the state of georgia. we won't know the result

of that until december. but republicans look set to take the house, which could impact president biden's ability to get laws passed. let me say this — regardless of what the final tally in these elections show, and there's still some counting going on — i'm prepared to work with my republican colleagues. but will the republicans work with him? it's likely that mr biden will run for the white house again, but it's very unlikely that his opponents will help make the rest of his term successful — as they focus on winning the presidency in 2024. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. today is the fourth consecutive day of protests that have taken place by the group just stop 0il. the protests have disrupted the m25 and several people who climbed gantries have been arrested. david lloyd, police and crime commissioner for hertfordshire joins us now.

good afternoon. we have had four days of protests, huge disruption on the m25 and the policing of the operation has been in the spotlight too, what is your assessment of the policing operation so far? i too, what is your assessment of the policing operation so far?— policing operation so far? i think that the police _ policing operation so far? i think that the police have _ policing operation so far? i think that the police have been - policing operation so far? i think that the police have been bravel policing operation so far? i think i that the police have been brave and have done what they can as well as they can. we will know that one police officer in essex was injured in trying to make sure that these demonstrations were cleared up as soon as possible. we are in a really difficult position. we are being held hostage byjust stop 0il, they are getting on the way of a lot of people, they are stopping people from being able to go to doctor's appointments, funerals, stopping them from getting to job interviews or wherever else. them from getting to job interviews orwherever else. it them from getting to job interviews or wherever else. it is just not good enough. we have got to try and

think, how can we stop these demonstrations from happening? i think we have got to look at whether or not there is another way. in hertfordshire, we are really into crime prevention rather thanjust crime prevention rather than just always crime prevention rather thanjust always after—the—fact. i think there may be ways that can work we together to take just stop may be ways that can work we together to takejust stop 0il away from doing these very nasty, disruptive events which, frankly, i've not heard anyone contact me and many people have, i've not heard any of them say they are supportive. brute of them say they are supportive. we will come to the cause in a second. i want to focus on the policing. the arrest of journalists, i want to focus on the policing. the arrest ofjournalists, do you defend that? he arrest of “ournalists, do you defend that? ., ., , ., , .,~ that? no wind. clearly a mistake was made, i that? no wind. clearly a mistake was made. i know — that? no wind. clearly a mistake was made, i know that _ that? no wind. clearly a mistake was made, i know that my _ that? no wind. clearly a mistake was made, i know that my chief- that? no wind. clearly a mistake was| made, i know that my chief constable has set an inquiry to look at what

happened so that we can be certain why it happened. it doesn't sound right to me, frankly. a journalist should not be arrested. the reason may well be that split second decisions need to be taken and in the melee of all of that, i'm sure that a different decision might have been taken if there had been a little bit more time to think about it. i'm not going to try and defend the arrest ofjournalists, i believe in free press and journalists need to be able to go out and do their trade without fear or favour. i able to go out and do their trade without fear orfavour. i recognise that. without fear or favour. i recognise that. ., , ., , ., that. you recognise that they are allowed to _ that. you recognise that they are allowed to go _ that. you recognise that they are allowed to go out _ that. you recognise that they are allowed to go out and _ that. you recognise that they are allowed to go out and cover - that. you recognise that they are allowed to go out and cover the i allowed to go out and cover the protest? i allowed to go out and cover the rotest? . . , allowed to go out and cover the rotest? . ., , .., , , protest? i certainly recognise they can, and protest? i certainly recognise they can. and i've _ protest? i certainly recognise they can, and i've been _ protest? i certainly recognise they can, and i've been saying - protest? i certainly recognise they can, and i've been saying else - can, and i've been saying else elsewhere and i will say it again, i wonder how we can work better together. it strikes me that the

reason these protests are happening where they are is because they are high profile stunts that they will get onto the news and spread their message through the news by doing the stunts. i recognise that they are newsworthy, that is what they are newsworthy, that is what they are trying to do. by reporting and putting it at the top of news reports what is happening day after day, we are encouraging them to do it. i wonder whether or not, in terms of your editorial policy and other journalists terms of your editorial policy and otherjournalists editorial policy, we should be thinking about, how do we should be thinking about, how do we ensure that there is less disruption? encouraging it less. hour disruption? encouraging it less. how do ou disruption? encouraging it less. how do you think — disruption? encouraging it less. how do you think it _ disruption? encouraging it less. how do you think it looks for a pcc to be telling news organisations how to editorially cover stories? i’m be telling news organisations how to editorially cover stories?— editorially cover stories? i'm not tellin: editorially cover stories? i'm not telling you. _ editorially cover stories? i'm not telling you. in _ editorially cover stories? i'm not telling you, i'm just _ editorially cover stories? i'm not telling you, i'm just pointing - editorially cover stories? i'm not telling you, i'm just pointing outj telling you, i'm just pointing out the problem that there is. i am asking for some help around it because my community in hertfordshire really do not want

every single day to find that they cannot get to hospital appointments and that they are missing funerals that they are trying to attend, missing flights that they are trying to catch and i'm trying to think is there a different way around it? in an era of social media where big disruptive events like huge closes on the motor 25 will be covered by people with various agendas and no editorial control at all, is it really best left to just that coverage or is it better to have journalists with codes and guidelines and policies to cover these? i guidelines and policies to cover these? .., , ., guidelines and policies to cover these? , ., �* these? i recognise what you're sa inc. i these? i recognise what you're saying- i put — these? i recognise what you're saying. i put the _ these? i recognise what you're saying. i put the question - these? i recognise what you're saying. i put the question back these? i recognise what you're i saying. i put the question back to you, where they not to have wall—to—wall coverage across all media when they decide to do something different?

scotland and northern ireland. the woman who died 21 years after her partner poured petrol on her and set her alight, he has now been sentenced for her murder. the foodbank charity the trussell trust says an extra 320,000 people have started using its services in the past six months. the trust has handed out 1.3 million emergency food parcels since april. jon ironmonger reports. that's fruit, fish, meat. do you get bored with getting so much beans and spaghetti? no, you can't get enough beans and spaghetti. tricia and christina are sorting through the latest donations for the corby food bank. there are 10,000 kilos worth in the warehouse, but it is never quite enough. what is the main thing that

you need most of all? well, it's not a necessary but we are always very short of sweet extras. puddings, jellies, custards. lunch time and at this church across town dozens of parcels are ready to pick up. more families are using food banks in northamptonshire and organisers of this one say friday today is always the busiest session, probably because there are no free school meals over the weekend. the expectation today is eight families of 3—4 and three families of five plus, one of which is a family of ten. wow. lovely, thank you. mum of two yana is out of work, waiting to start her newjob in the care sector. we got through, oh, that's nice. sometimes i feel like i've done something wrong, you know. i can't pay my bills but when you see the prices in the shops they are so crazy, aren't they? you shouldn't feel that way.

i know. you are going to get through this. i am going to get through this and i am going to be strong and thanks to the foodbank for this really big help in my difficult time. the number of parcels handed out by this food bank and others in northamptonshire has tripled since 2017. yeah, i can't use my cooker. so what do you intend to do? how do you...? i microwave. do you do three meals a day or...? 0ne. 0ne meal a day? 0ne meal a day. how many children have you got? i've got four. agnieska's husband was signed off sick from work injune. do worry about heating? i do. when you don't put the heating on, you can feel her hands are cold, but when you put your heating on you worry about how high is the bill going to be. the trussell trust says 320,000 people have started using their food banks in the past six months. i've always said the happiest day

of my life when they turn round and say i don't need you any more. i've been doing this for nine years and i shouldn't be having to do it, nobody should have to. as it is, the need for donations and volunteers like donna has scarcely been greater. hurricane nicole has weakened into a tropical storm shortly after making landfall on florida's east coast. nicole has been lashing the state, bringing strong winds, heavy rain and a storm surge to its eastern shores. the storm is a category one, the weakest on the hurricane scale of five. but it's the first hurricane to make landfall in the us in november in 40 years. several areas in the storm's path including palm beach have been evacuated. donald trump's mar—a—lago club has been shut but his advisers say he's staying put. he isa

the former health secretary matt hancock has swapped the halls of westminster with the jungle in australia. he made his debut appearance on i'm a celebrity, get me out of here last night. during his trial mr hancock had to crawl through a tunnel while covered in sludge and bugs. his arrival was met with mixed reaction by contestants. so why did you do it? why did i do it? yeah, why are you here? because there is, honest truth is because there is, it's... there's so few ways in which politicians can show that we are human beings. so ijust thought it would be good to do that. and i've got a sense of adventure. so you want people to see you for you? i hope so. there's been a lot of criticism about his appearance on the show, not least from a group of campaigners who lost family members to the coronavirus pandemic. they've tweeted. .. the pr guru mark borkowski, who gives celebrities advice

on their career, gave his reaction to the politician's appearance on the show. it was a remarkable booking from itv. there's been nonstop coverage for it. for matt hancock, it strikes me that he clearly doesn't see himself as a serious politician any longer, and his entrance into the camp was greeted with shock by some of those people who were completely unaware about it. sean walsh is a disgraced comedian who left strictly come dancing, spent the first 3 minutes laughing his head off. it's slightly sad in terms that now politicians have to be celebrities. they have to be celebrities outside westminster and the political sphere. and i think that's clearly what matt is trying to do. i think he's deluded. he looks slightly awkward. and i think he's going to have a bit of a rocky time in there. but he's got the sort of teflon ego possibly not to be bothered

about the sort of criticism. and he'll be doing his best to try and build something up, post his time in the jungle. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben. it will be the feel of the weather the most notable thing over the next couple of days. it's going to be exceptionally mild by day and by night, but extremely wet for some in the north—west of the uk because of this stripe of the cloud. i have zoomed out a long way to show you this satellite image because the stripe of cloud extends across a large swathe of the atlantic and it will bring heavy, persistent rain to north—western areas but ahead of that, we are putting up this extremely warm air from the south and temperatures really are responding. through the rest of the afternoon, very mild indeed but with extensive cloud cover and a few breaks in the cloud and it's

going to remain windy with gusts of 50 mph or more, particularly in the north—west of the uk where we will see heavy and persistent rain. top temperatures of 15—17 . let's focus on the rain. it will continue across parts of northern ireland and especially the western side of scotland as we go through this evening and tonight. through the rest of today and tomorrow we could see a total of 100 millimetres of rain in some locations. that could cause one or two issues. elsewhere through the night, largely dry, still extensive cloud cover and the odd patch of drizzle and the temperatures, well, on average at this time of year we would expect temperatures to drop between two and six degrees across the uk but tonight we are looking at values of more like 14 or 15 degrees so an extraordinarily mild nights for the time of year and a very mild start to tomorrow and the same set up with a strong south—westerly winds and particularly gusty across south—east scotland. further heavy rain across northern ireland

and the western side scotland. best of the sunshine down towards the south and east and temperatures widely15—17 . it may be that some eastern parts of scotland will get warmer than that with shelter from the breeze and highs of 18 or 19 degrees. saturday does look similar and it won't be as windy, there will still be rain across parts of northern ireland and the north west of scotland but more in the way of sunshine across england and wales especially where temperatures will peak at around 18 degrees. and sunday still very mild for the time of year. most places will be dry but we will see cloud and some rain in the far west.

this is bbc news, i'm lewis vaughanjones. the headlines at four o'clock: a sharp rise in the number of people waiting longer than the target time for cancer treatment, with the number of patients waiting more than 62 days doubling over the last four years in england, scotland and northern ireland. would the chemo have done any good if he'd had that sooner? i honestly don't know. it's not... ..not something we're ever going to be able to answer, and we've got to live with that. a man is given a life sentence for murdering his ex—partner, who died 21 years after he set her alight. gareth southgate announces

his 26—man england squad for the 2022 world cup, with leicester midfielderjames maddison called up to the squad. we think the balance is there and we have cover in the positions we need. we are lighter on depth in some positions than others in our country. but we think we've got everything covered. moscow confirms russian troops are withdrawing from the key city of kherson — the only regional capital it has captured since the invasion of ukraine began. ahead of remembrance sunday, the second world war veterans reflecting on the sacrifice of those who fought for britain's freedom. i like to think that local youngsters today remember the sailors, soldiers, airmen and civilians who gave their lives for the freedom that we enjoy today. and in cricket, england thrash india to reach the t20 cricket world cup final.

hello and welcome to the programme. married for more than 50 years, wendy and tony had seen each other through thick and thin. in september of last year, wendy's husband had a routine chest x—ray. it wasn't until november he was informed there was something abnormal and was eventually told it was terminal

lung cancer injanuary. we assumed, obviously wrongly, that if we hadn't heard anything, everything must be all right. tony died at the end of february, but that long delay in diagnosis and treatment still torments wendy and her children. it seems that it was the big delay at the beginning between when tony had his x—ray and someone then raised concerns about what they saw on that x—ray — that was the thing? yes. and i'm not saying the end result wouldn't have been the same. it would — i know that. i think he perhaps might have had a little bit longer. would the chemo have done any good, if he'd had that sooner? i honestly don't know. it's not something we're ever going to be able to answer. and we've got to live with that. and my children have got to live with that, which is even harder. the nhs in england says more patients are being diagnosed with cancer at an earlier stage

than ever before. that really improves patients' chances of a good outcome. at lewisham hospital in south london, these new, faster scanners are being used to reduce waiting times. the scanners are providing the trust with increased capacity, so we can scan more patients. they are also providing us with a much better image quality and reduced scan times, so we are able to scan an extra 20 patients a week with our new mri scanner that we weren't able to do before and an extra 50 patients a week on the ct scanner that we weren't able to do before. the demand for cancer services is growing. well done, we're all finished. we're going to come in now. in august of this year, more than a quarter of a million people were checked following an urgent gp referral, the highest number on record. but that all adds pressure to the system. i know that all those in the nhs are working as hard as they possibly can to try and support patients. but what i'm concerned about is that it doesn't look like the targets are being met

and the government are looking at changing the targets. so i don't feel optimistic. if things go wrong, the impact can be devastating. at tony's old golf club, his family have planted a tree with his ashes. hiya, love. 0k today? yeah? still got some leaves left. they'll never know for sure if the delay in his diagnosis and treatment contributed to his death. but the worry is that many thousands more are living with the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with cancer. dominic hughes, bbc news. we can speak to a consultant dermatologist at hampshire hospitals nhs foundation trust, thank you for coming on the programme. what is your experience of waiting times? 0k, your experience of waiting times? ok, so i am a consultant

it really paints a picture of a health service under pressure, as we go into that really important winter period when doctors and nurses are under more pressure anyway, because of everything else that goes on in the winter. if you look at a&e waiting times, there is this measure, which is four hours. when you turn up in a&e, the target is 95% of people should be seen and then either discharged or moved into a ward within four hours. looking at the most recent figures, this is for october, 30.7% of people were not. so the target is 95%, they actually hit about 69%, so well below their target. actually, if you look at the figures in scotland, wales and northern ireland, they are roughly similar, a bit higher in northern ireland. so you can see the pressure doctors and nurses are under. just on that, before you move on, that is a significant distance away from the target time.

is it particularly unusual, is it to be expected? this is the highest on record. there is a separate measure, which is also equally concerning doctors, which is when you turn up to a&e, this is for the sickest patients, if you then have to be admitted to a ward. so you are seen by a doctor and they say, "we can't deal with you on a&e, you have to go to a specialist ward," the figure there at the moment is the number of people waiting more than 12 hours after that point. so you get told you have to be moved. you are still stuck in a&e for another 12 hours from that point. that went up to 43,000 people in october. that was a jump of about a third on the previous month. actually, the biggest monthlyjump we have ever had on record. so again, it's painting this picture of a&e, emergency services, ambulances all being under quite significant pressure. the other way of looking at it is when we look at waiting lists. this is waiting lists for routine treatment. at the moment, again, there was a rise last month. this is the end of september, beginning of october, just over 7 million,

7.1 million people. again, this is england only. now, waiting for treatment, one in eight people in england currently on a waiting list. the number waiting for more than 12 months has been going up as well. so again big pressure on the health service, big pressure on the government and politicians at the moment looking at these figures. a man has been sentenced to an additional 15 years in prison for murdering his partner, who died 21 years after he doused her in petrol and set her on fire. jacqueline kirk was 40 when she was attacked in somerset in 1998. she suffered horrendous injuries, and steven craig served more than 15 years in prison after being convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent. then, last year, he was charged with her murder, following ms kirk's death in 2019. a warning — there are distressing images and content right from the start of this report byjenny kumah.

looked down and when i looked down, ijust...i just went up. jacqueline kirk spoke to the bbc 20 years ago about her horrific attack. badly burned, she spent nine months in hospitalfollowing the incident. she needed a tube in her windpipe to breathe, and it affected her speech. people are so shocked. and that's what they see, is that, but then they don't see me. jacqueline kirk's ex—partner, steven craig, poured petrol over her in 1998. he set her on fire in this car park in weston—super—mare. he is said to have been inspired by a scene in the film reservoir dogs. today, more than 20 years after that attack, craig was sentenced for murder. there is no doubt that you planned and intended to engage in a gratuitous, deliberate and monstrous attack on jackie during that road trip

with whatever means at your disposal and to intimidate her psychologically to cause maximum physical and mental pain over a period of days. her daughter says, despite her injuries, she remained resilient and determined to live a full life. she was a fighter. she always kind of beat the odds. she was very, very stubborn. most people would describe her as stubborn. — and that's normally seen as a negative thing, - but for her it was a| very positive thing. jacqueline kirk, who you were convicted for... yeah. ...gbh. craig was convicted for gbh for the attack in 2000 and released from prison on licence three years ago. today's ruling means he'll now serve an additional 15 years for murder. she died from her injuries. yes. which now makes me responsible for murder? that's right, yeah. during the trial, the court heard conflicting medical evidence but the jury agreed with experts, like her consultant, tim cook, who said that injuries to her airway

and torso were partly responsible for her diaphragm rupturing and that doctors felt that her condition was too high risk to operate. this is jacqueline kirk before the attack. her family say although she died decades later because of her injuries, she herself was not defeated by the crime. they remember her as a strong willed, rebellious and witty. jenny kumar, bbc news. detective chief inspector mark almond, the senior investigating officer in the case, spoke outside, following the sentencing. good afternoon, everyone. my name's mark almond, i'm a detective chief inspector from the major crime team in avon and somerset police. ijust have a short statement i'd like to read on behalf ofjackie and her family and the police. it's difficult to put into words the impact steven craig's actions have had on both jacqueline and herfamily. while i never metjackie, from what her children tell me, she was truly a remarkable woman. she overcame numerous challenges with an incredible determination

and fought with great dignity to rediscover the life that she had before she was attacked. i expect that her resilience was one of the reasons why she surprised doctors and survived for a further 21 years, during which time she saw her children grow up, get married and have children of their own. steven craig was undoubtably responsible forjackie's death and, like all murderers, deserves to be severely punished. and, once again, i would like to thankjackie's family for their support and praise them for the courage they've shown, notjust during the course of this investigation and court case, but for the past 24 years. i just hope that they can move on to the next chapter of their lives knowing thatjustice has been done. a sharp rise in the number of people waiting longer than the target time for cancer treatment, with the number of patients waiting more than 62 days doubling over

the last four years in england, scotland and northern ireland. a man is given a life sentence for murdering his ex—partner, who died 21 years after he set her alight. gareth southgate announces his 26—man england squad for the 2022 world cup, with leicester midfielderjames maddison called up to the squad. and we are going to stick with that story now. england have announced their squad for the world cup. leicester city's james maddison, manchester united's marcus rashford and the newcastle united striker callum wilson have all been included. ivan toney and james ward—prowse are among the names to miss out. the three lions kick—off their group b campaign in 11 days against iran. in a news conference in the last hour, manager gareth southgate was asked why maddison, who's only played once before

for his country, had been called up. he's playing really well. look, he's a good player, we've always said he's a good player. he's earned the right. we think he can give us something slightly different to the other attacking players that we've got. so i think at various stages, there have been conversations, debates about james. there's been moments where, ahead of the euros, i don't think he was in contention. he had a bit of a problem with his hip, and then i think september was probably a fair debate, but i think he's playing as well as any of the attacking players in this country, and, yeah, here's a little bit different to the others. we've got different types of threat and i think we could need that. chelsea's mason mount has reacted to his inclusion in the squad. after featuring at euro 2020,

the 23—year—old will play at his first world cup. let's talk to our football reporter alex howell, who's at football association's national football centre in burton—upon—trent. we have had a couple of hours to mull over the names, what are your thoughts? it mull over the names, what are your thou~hts? . . , , thoughts? it is a very competitive sr uad, thoughts? it is a very competitive squad. isn't _ thoughts? it is a very competitive squad. isn't it? — thoughts? it is a very competitive squad, isn't it? especially- thoughts? it is a very competitive squad, isn't it? especially in- thoughts? it is a very competitive squad, isn't it? especially in the i squad, isn't it? especially in the

attacking areas, and as you mentioned, the main debating point was whetherjames maddison was going to be included, and he has been, and gareth southgate saying that it offers the england team something a bit different than the other midfielders and attackers. his numbers this evening in the prang really cannot be ignored, and this is a prime example of playing your way into the england team. —— this season in the premier league. it is almost three years to the day since he last played for the national team, but his form and how close it is to the world cup has made gareth southgate make that decision and bring him in ahead of the tournament in qatar. bud bring him in ahead of the tournament in qatar. �* ., ., ., in qatar. and how overall competitive _ in qatar. and how overall competitive do _ in qatar. and how overall competitive do you - in qatar. and how overall competitive do you think| in qatar. and how overall. competitive do you think the in qatar. and how overall- competitive do you think the team in qatar. and how overall— competitive do you think the team is when you compare it to other squads? it is that debate about england that has carried on probably since the 2018 world cup in russia. very strong in attack and some would say the weakness of the team lies in defence, if you look at harry

maguire, the manchester united captain is not playing regularly for his team, luke shaw also playing for manchester united, he is the only left back, recognised left back in the squad, kyle walker is included, but he has been injured and has not played for a number of weeks and has had surgery. reece james was not able to be included in the squad because of injury. so if you discussion points, and you would probably point at the weakness as being in defence, but looking at the outliers and probably some of the wild cards that gareth southgate has maybe been able to call up, because this is a 26 man squad, you look at callum wilson from newcastle united, who has been scoring goals regularly, and colin gallagherfrom chelsea. so on the whole, when you see eight managers from other nations speak, they all say that england will be amongst the favourites for this world cup. interesting stuff. alex, thank you very much for that.

president zelensky has said ukraine is moving very carefully, following russia's announcement that it is withdrawing its troops from the southern city of kherson. russia's pull—out comes just six weeks after president putin declared that he was annexing the highly prized regional capital city, along with three other areas. 0ur international editor, jeremy bowen, is in 0desa and explained what this latest move by russia could mean for the wider conflict. well, it means first of all that the war isn't over. in a strange kind of way, while this is a serious defeat for the russians, having to pull back, because the plan was originally that once they got to kherson, they could push further down the black sea coast and perhaps even threaten this city, 0desa, the one that i'm in, and therefore control most of ukraine's access to the sea. now, that hasn't happened.

but the defeat is something they've now effectively accepted publicly. but pulling back on the other side of the dnipro river, which is a very considerable body of water, to prepared positions, might turn out to be one of the more sensible, from the russian point of view, military decisions that they've made since the invasion. because i've been to the front line area where the russians are at the moment, which is outside kherson city itself, on miles and miles and miles of absolutely flat farmland, and there are no natural defensible positions there. but a few miles away, on the other side of the dnipro river, in built bunkers, which they have been constructing out of concrete and where they have supposedly some of their best forces, they're going to be a much more difficult proposition for the ukrainians, because if the ukrainians ever decided they would try to mount some kind of assault over the river, that would be a very tough military undertaking.

in the last hour also, defence secretary ben wallace has been speaking about the russian withdrawal from speaking about the russian withdrawalfrom kherson. the speaking about the russian withdrawal from kherson. the world should be grateful— withdrawal from kherson. the world should be grateful for— withdrawal from kherson. the world should be grateful for handing - withdrawal from kherson. the world should be grateful for handing back| should be grateful for handing back sovereign property, and this is the irony that i saw some of the language coming out was that it was the thief giving back stolen property, and we should all be grateful as an international community, but the russians did for two reasons, they were under significant military pressure and were not able to sustain the defence that they would like to have done, and they were pushed back. and secondly, it would be sound military judgment to move your forces behind natural boundary, in this case the river. �* . . ~ natural boundary, in this case the river. �* ., . ~ ., river. back here in the uk, train drivers who _ river. back here in the uk, train drivers who are _ river. back here in the uk, train drivers who are members - river. back here in the uk, train drivers who are members of- river. back here in the uk, train i drivers who are members of aslef have announced a further walk—out. they will strike on saturday 26th november in a dispute over pay. aslef negotiators have been engaged in talks with the industry, but there has so far been

no offer on pay. the general secretary, mick whelan, said he regrets that passengers will be inconvenienced for another day, but he said that they have no choice but to take strike action again. katy austin gave us the latest news on the train strikes. aslef, which represents most train drivers, announced another strike, on saturday 26th of november. it will be quite a wide—scale strike again across 12 companies around the country. i won't redo the full list, but it includes avanti west coast, south eastern, greater anglia, great western railway and some in the midlands as well. so quite a spread around the country. it will be extremely disruptive, if it is anything like their previous train drivers' strikes. i think we have seen four of those so far this year. and this dispute is over pay, so aslef says, essentially, that train drivers at these companies are being asked to accept a real—terms pay cut, and they want a pay offer to be made

that helps them keep up with the rising cost of living, with inflation. i have just had a statement from the train companies, or the rail delivery group, who speaks for these train companies, saying, we are incredibly frustrated aslef leadership has decided to take further strike action. they urge them to work with the industry to secure a pay deal and the changes needed for the industry to thrive in the long term. i mean that gets to the nub of it, really. what is going on is the industry argues they need to agree reforms to working practices before they can then move on to an offer on pay. but of course, the drivers' union just says, look, we need a pay rise, we haven't had one for too long. and then the tube strikes in london — talk us through what's happening there. a lot of disruption on the london underground today. they whole tube either has no service or very limited service, and this is due to action by members of the rmt and unite union. in another separate dispute,

there is some action on the london 0verground as well today. that is mostly running 0k, although people have been warned today there could be some last—minute on the overground and with dlr, the docklands light railway, and some trains won't stop at stations that are also tube stations but the biggest impact is on the underground. this is in a dispute about... essentially the rmt says it wants reassurances overjobs and reassurances that there won't be detrimental changes made to pensions, after tfl, which runs transport in london, agreed a funding deal with the government. but tfl, on the other hand, says nobody will lose theirjob, and it says no proposals have actually been tabled so far on pensions. so that is where we are with a very disruptive day, and it's also worth remembering it might spill over into tomorrow morning as well. so if you're travelling

on public transport tomorrow, watch out for that. it's the last day of hearings at the grenfell public inquiry. the inquiry looked into the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the devestating fire that killed 72 people in a block of flats in london on the night of 14thjune 2017. remembrance sunday, when we reflect on the sacrifice of those who fought for britain's freedom, is this weekend. and as each year passes, fewer of the men and women who helped to win the second world war are alive to tell their stories — veterans like bernard morgan, who was the youngest raf sergeant to storm the beaches of normandy during the d—day landings. 0ur correspondentjohn maguire has been to meet him. almost 80 years since he stormed the beaches on d—day, and bernard morgan not only still has the battle dress he wore that day — it still fits him.

as a young sergeant in the raf, he was a code and cipher operative, translating secret orders, and was ashore in normandy as part of a small signals team. when we landed it was sad to see all the dead soldiers lying on the beach. of course whilst we were there the enemy were coming over in low flying aircraft, so what we did, we jumped in a ditch at the side. when they'd gone, we got out. there were blankets in this ditch. we lifted the blankets up — dead germans there. he's been back to normandy for anniversaries and memorials. and i always go to the graves where these three wireless ops are buried, and i like to think that local youngsters today remember the sailors, soldiers, airmen and civilians who gave their lives for the freedom that we enjoy today. his memory is phenomenal,

helped by the diaries and mementos he kept, including this, a soldier's guide to the french. french women both young and old are farfrom shy! and you will, if you are a man of sense, make them your friends. do not mistake friendship for willingness to give you their favours! they laugh. and among his extraordinary collection, a message sent to troops announcing the end of the war in europe. bernard received the order two days before he was allowed to pass it on. "all hostilities on second army front ceases at 0800 hours tomorrow, may the 5th." so you knew for two days the war was over... yeah. ..before you could tell anyone. we didn't tell anybody. and he believes it's so important at this time of year to mark remembrance day. when you're in the service,

you thought you were doing your little bit towards helping the war win, but unfortunately it's not worked out right. we're still at wars now and, you know, when this war, our world war i! finished, we were hoping that would be the end of wars, but it's not. he wears his service medals with such great pride, and he says for those friends left behind so long ago. john maguire, bbc news, crewe. here at bbc news we want to collect as many accounts of world war ii as possible. if you or someone you know would like to share stories and experiences, please do get in touch. more details are on our website.

time now for the weather. don't be fooled by the wind in the cloud in the sky it is not cold. we've had some extraordinarily mild weather, to temperatures around 15 or 16 degrees. that's not the whole story, some cloud and persistent rain in scotland and northern ireland as well. that rain will keep coming through the night. 0ver well. that rain will keep coming through the night. over the next 24—hour is, we could see hundred millimetres falling in parts of western scotland. lots of cloud overnight with drizzle but overnight temperatures of 14 or 15 degrees, we would expect temperatures between two and 7 degrees at night at this time of year. exceptionally mild overnight, exceptionally mild to start, tomorrow. most places cloudy, some limited sunshine, more rain for parts of northern ireland, north—west scotland, temperatures in the afternoon at 16, 17, may be 19

degrees. stays mild as we head through the weekend, dry for many but some rain in the north—west on saturday and perhaps late in the day into northern ireland on sunday. a sharp rise in the number of people waiting longer than the target time for cancer treatment, with the number of patients waiting more than 62 days doubling over the last four years in england, scotland and northern ireland. a man is given a life sentence for murdering his ex—partner who died 21 years after he set her alight. gareth southgate announces his 26 man england squad for the 2022 world cup, with leicester midfielderjames maddison called up to the squad. moscow confirms russian troops are withdrawing from the key city of kherson, the only regional capital it has captured since the invasion of ukraine began.

ahead of remembrance sunday — the second world war veterans reflecting on the sacrifice of those who fought for britain's freedom. and in cricket, england thrash india to reach the t20 cricket world cup final. sport now and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. good afternoon. with 11 days to go until england kick—off their world cup campaign, gareth southgate has confirmed the 26—man group that will be travelling to qatar. much of the team is tried and tested, but probably the most eye catching on that list are james maddison and callum wilson — getting their first international call—ups in three years. maddison's only england cap came as a substitute against montenegro in november 2019. he is playing really well.

he's a good player. we have always said he is a good player. he has earned the right, we think he can give us something slightly different to the other attacking players that we have got. but i think he is playing as well as any of the attacking players in this country and he is a little bit different to the others. we have got different types of threat and i think we could need that. leicester city have been quick to take to social media to tweet about their man. they've been posting their conratualtions to maddison, along with a statement from manager brendan rogers. southampton have named nathanjones as their new manager. he leaves championship side luton, to take over at southampton

who are in the premier league relegation zone. jones says a lot of his family are saints fans and he knows a lot about the club. his first match in charge will be at liverpool on saturday. england will play pakistan in the final of the men's t20 cricket world cup on sunday after they hammered india by 10 wickets in the semi—finals in adelaide. jos buttler and alex hales put on a masterclass to chase down a target of 169 to win with 24 balls to spare. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. the adelaide oval is a striking example of modern cricket architecture. for some of the most celebrated modern cricketers. india went expected to hit sixes, but they struggled. missing their fastest bowler, england clung on to everything. rashid's catch to dismiss.

they concluded india's innings with belatedly some big hits adding up to 168. england's batters chasing the final under the most intense scrutiny did it easily. alex hales set the pace with his sixes and england never slowed. jos buttlerjoined in and england were playing a different game. the perfect game. they got to their victory total with a six. without losing a wicket, with four overs to spare. i think it is important to enjoy this, it was a brilliant performance. we can reflect on this and enjoy it and of course we know there is one big dance to go. the final is on sunday against pakistan, england are playing like champions. wales are through to the wheelchair semi—finals of the rugby league world cup. they beat scotland 70 points to 36 in a strong performance

to finish runners—up in group b behind world champions france, scotland finish bottom of group b after three defeats. wales go on to face england on sunday. plenty more on the bbc sport website including live coverage of great britain's latest tie against spain in the billiejean king cup. gb must win all three of their match against the spanish if they're to progress to the semi finals. head over to bbc.co.uk/sport or the iplayer for live coverage. heather watson is in action first up. jennifer aniston has spoken about trying to get pregnant through ivf and the interview is all over the newspapers today. the actress, who is best known for playing rachel green in friends, told the magazine allure the baby—making road

for her in her 30s and 40s was challenging and the media scrutiny was really tough. joining us now isjournalist and writer kat brown. she was inspired to write her upcoming book no one talks about this stuff after going through ivf treatment. thank you forjoining us. what was your reaction when you read jennifer aniston's remarks? idut’ith your reaction when you read jennifer aniston's remarks?— aniston's remarks? with a lot of stuff that i _ aniston's remarks? with a lot of stuff that i read _ aniston's remarks? with a lot of stuff that i read from _ aniston's remarks? with a lot of stuff that i read from jennifer i stuff that i read from jennifer aniston these days is mostly, what a goddess. in the same interview she was talking about instagram and saying i have no idea how it works which was quite freeing in itself. the really crucial thing for me was just, i don't think i've read this before. a celebrity being notjust open about going through ivf and infertility but about going through it and it's not working stop that is not a narrative that we hear. particularly when i went through firstly failed cycles of ivf in 2019

and then the next year being told that biological kids is not going to happen, i became very aware of the lack of notjust role models but feeling like anybody had gone through that. and realising that whilst support is arguably improved significantly, as you and your work no thanks to your brilliant work for people going through infertility, there is still this huge gap for people that can go through several years of daily heartbreak. certainly monthly heartbreak. and then, at the end, being like, what now? rats monthly heartbreak. and then, at the end, being like, what now?— end, being like, what now? as you sa , i end, being like, what now? as you say. i have — end, being like, what now? as you say. i have a _ end, being like, what now? as you say, i have a personal— end, being like, what now? as you say, i have a personal interest i end, being like, what now? as you say, i have a personal interest and| say, i have a personal interest and this as my wife and i went through years of ivf. i want to pick up one of the things you say is about people writing about it and being open and public as it's happening and not working or after it has not worked, how important was that for you to get that writing out there?

absolutely enormously. partly because i am not remotely a famous person and also because, through my life, i have been through quite a lot of not very enjoyable discoveries and each time i have looked for something to read or something to learn from and there has been a bit of a dearth whether it is depression, adhd diagnosis and that sort of thing, i think because i am a journalist and therefore i have the sort of writing about myself and my own experiences, it felt like something useful that i could do. making something helpful out of something that really didn't feel helpful at all. i remember watching your youtube series with hannah and thinking how awesome you both are, notjust for putting yourself out there but for being so candid about it, because, as you say, there is so little from people about when they are in the midst of something or if something hasn't turned out successfully, partly

because we live in a very success driven culture, but also it can sort of make you feel that you are the only person he was going through something and failing. so being able to put together a book that collects a lot of stories from very different people of very different backgrounds, with different experiences of infertility and not just childlessness, baby loss, all in a place where you can listen to the similarities in people stories are notjust the differences, really makes you realise how psi load fertility and infertility can be. and, how much better it can be to understand that everybody who sits on whatever site you have to go through this awful experience to whatever extent, will certainly be feeling very similar to feelings to you. i feeling very similar to feelings to ou. .., feeling very similar to feelings to ou. . ., . ., , feeling very similar to feelings to ou. . ., ., you. i can certainly speak to the emotional— you. i can certainly speak to the emotional toll _ you. i can certainly speak to the emotional toll of _ you. i can certainly speak to the emotional toll of it. _ you. i can certainly speak to the emotional toll of it. one - you. i can certainly speak to the emotional toll of it. one of- you. i can certainly speak to the emotional toll of it. one of the l emotional toll of it. one of the points werejennifer aniston and it has been made more sort of about her, as a woman, an older woman

without children, talking about that raises lots of emotions, doesn't it? it is still not something that, as a society, we are quite bare. hat it is still not something that, as a society, we are quite bare. not 'ust withjennifer— society, we are quite bare. not 'ust with jennifer aniston, i society, we are quite bare. notjust with jennifer aniston, arguably, i with jennifer aniston, arguably, with jennifer aniston, arguably, with women withjennifer aniston, arguably, with women in general. the idea of a woman daring to be in her late 20s or 30s and an married and yet still having great arms, great career, great hair and that sort of thing. while we will have to picture in her place and just call her poor gen which i feel as a headline i saw oh more over the 2000 and 2010 and tens than anything else. arguably we see it with the duchess of sussex now, instead of with jennifer aniston it with the duchess of sussex now, instead of withjennifer aniston it is megan michael who has become the latest scapegoat for women we just don't trust for some reason. i really do hope that some of the

people who put those headlines about jennifer aniston into the press are feeling bad about themselves today and their choices. again, it is sadly very unlikely. but it was a great move from jennifer aniston. brute great move from jennifer aniston. we have to leave it there but thank you for speaking so openly with us. the family of egypt's jailed dissident alaa abdel fattah said prison authorities told them he is "under medical intervention", as fear mounts that means force—feeding. the family have repeatedly demanded information on the health of the british—egyptian activist in recent days after. on sunday, to coincide with the start of the un climate summit cop27 hosted by egypt, he escalated his months—long hunger strike to include water too. he is serving a five—year prison sentence for allegedly "spreading false news" by sharing a facebook post about police brutality. earlier my colleague

yalda hakim spoke to mona safe, the sister of alaa abd el—fattah and she told me how worried she is about her brother. i think this is the most stressful time we've ever been through as a family. and we've been through a lot over the past years. alaa has been in prison for nine years and we've really been through a lot. but this time i don't think we've ever thought we'd reach a point where we wouldn't have any information about alaa for days. the last thing we've heard of him is a letter on the 31st of october. my mother has been going to the prison every day, demanding a proof of life, demanding a letter. and all of a sudden today, she was informed she's not allowed to wait by the prison and that there has been medical intervention taken with the authorisation ofjudicial entities. we have no idea what sort of medical intervention. we don't even we don't know what call what would trigger them to take these medical interventions. he was on a hunger strike, wasn't he?

he was on a hunger strike, partial hunger strike, since april. and he escalated it to a full hunger strike around ten days ago. and also he escalated to a water strike starting sunday with the beginning of cop27, which is currently taking place in sharm el—sheikh in egypt. your mum was outside the prison all day waiting for a letter because that's how he's been communicating with you guys. and that letter never came after the 31st of october. yes, we get a weekly letter and we get a monthly visit. 0ur visit is not up until the 17th of november. so our main hope was really to get a letter this monday, last monday, to know that he's alive and to know that he is managing to sustain his body and health despite the water strike. but then we didn't get a letter. and so my mother ended up going every day, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and today when she went, every day, she would stay all day until nightfall. and then she'll go home without a letter or without any information.

and then today, when she went, she found an extreme security presence. they immediately told her, you are not allowed to stay here. and they told her the necessary medical intervention has been taken care of. please leave. seven years ago nick cave, best known as the songwriter and lead singer of nick cave and the bad seeds, suffered the loss of one of his twin sons, arthur, at 15. in a new book, faith hope and carnage, cave talks about religion, creativity, and the impact of such grief on him, and his wife. in the interview with kirsty wark for newsnight, his first bbc interview for more than a decade, he also discusses the idea that you can separate the art from the artist. kirsty wark has more. do you think that arthur's death

strengthened your faith? yeah. i think a lot of things happened. i think the writing of the book, weirdly enough, did that. the book itself starts with a kind of nervousness around questions of faith and ends more firm about those sorts of things. # less work... # held within its store. i suppose the whole thing about separating art from the artist as well is another, the flip side of looking at that. and so i suppose the most recent one of that would be kanye is accused of anti—semitism, so

therefore, should you be listening to his music or should he actually be be shunned? i mean, are you completely open on that? well, on some level, i don't care what kanye has to say on things. but i do love kanye's music. ifind anti—semitism in particular particularly distasteful. and so it's very disappointing to hear these remarks and such sort of obvious, boring, kind of, reductive tropes that he's actually peddling. # call me the wild rose... but you're a person also with great friendships that last many years. and back to your work with kylie minogue, which was in the 905. yeah. i mean, would you do work again with kylie?

i really think it was that record i did with kylie minogue, which i really hold in a very special place in my heart because we both took an enormous risk, you know, and it's always a joy to see her. and if she wants to make another record, then maybe there's a where the wild roses grow part 2 or something. and kirsty warkjoins us now. what stuck out for you? i think what stuck out was _ what stuck out for you? i think what stuck out was nick _ what stuck out for you? i think what stuck out was nick cave's _ what stuck out for you? i think what stuck out was nick cave's candour. i stuck out was nick cave's candour. he said since the death of his sun, arthur, that he, this great phrase he uses, he lives his life in aspersion of audacity. what he does is actually an incredible ability to be able to live happily and have happy moments when his life was brought to such chaos. and the life

of his wife and other�*s twin. when it was book to such chaos by the sudden death of arthur. in this series of amazing conversations which take place over lockdown, they muse over lots of things particularly over religion and creativity. he talks quite openly about feeling that before other�*s death he wasn't really a whole person. he says that before, the less he knew about something, the more he would talk about it and now he has a different approach. that was seen very much through one great series of as it were pestle is called the red files, which he brings out every week or so, he solicits letters from people online people with troubles or not, people with questions, and then he picks the ones he wants to reply to and he replies. some of them are very funny, very tender, very deep, he is a man that is incredibly articulate about his own emotions and a lot of

that comes out in interview. interesting. 0ne that comes out in interview. interesting. one question to pick up on because it is so pertinent, talking about the idea of separating art from the artist, very complex question. what did you make of his thoughts? he question. what did you make of his thou . hts? ,., question. what did you make of his thou~hts? ., , ., thoughts? he said was that he thinks that kan e thoughts? he said was that he thinks that kanye west _ thoughts? he said was that he thinks that kanye west makes _ thoughts? he said was that he thinks that kanye west makes some - thoughts? he said was that he thinks that kanye west makes some of i thoughts? he said was that he thinks that kanye west makes some of the | that kanye west makes some of the best music of anybody and he was very careful to say that he was very disappointed particularly because of one of the worst things that is anti—semitism. he says that he is not interested in challenging him, maybe it's a faulty part of him, but i would prefer to concentrate on the parts that aren't faulty. he is an incredibly talented musician. but he doesn't shy away from the fact that actually, what kanye west said, goes absolutely against the grain for nick cave. . ~ absolutely against the grain for nick cave. ., ,, i. ., ., ,

now, it's beenjust over two weeks since prime minister, rishi sunak, took up office, and today he met with the first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon, for the first time. the two held face—to—face talks, and it's reported that the main focus of these talks was the cost—of—living crisis. 0ur political correspondent david porterjoins me now with the latest on that meeting. any a ny clu es any clues about what was talked about? . any clues about what was talked about? , , ., about? the meeting is still going on, here, about? the meeting is still going on. here. in _ about? the meeting is still going on. here. in a— about? the meeting is still going on, here, in a very _ about? the meeting is still going on, here, in a very blustery- on, here, in a very blustery blackpool. whatever happens with the talks i think we can be guaranteed that they won't be going out for a walk on the prom because both of them might be loan her way back to scotland. what is important in this one is the optics of the whole occasion. the fact that a meeting is taking place shouldn't be remarkable that the first minister of scotland and the prime minister of the uk are meeting face—to—face. certainly, in

the last four years, relations within the scottish government and the uk government had not been great. borisjohnson did not get on with nicola sturgeon, that is well known. liz truss as her seven weeks as prime minister basically ignored nicola sturgeon, didn't even hold a telephone call with her. rishi sunak, as soon as he became prime minister, telephoned the first ministers of both scotland and wales and basically said yes, we should meet. that meeting is taking place in blackpool this evening ahead of something called the british irish council which is made up of the uk government, the devolved administrations, and the irish government. we may not agree an awful lot at the meeting and the talks between sunak and sturgeon but the symbolism is very important. should we wait for any particular lines or developments this evening or tomorrow? lines or developments this evening ortomorrow? 0r lines or developments this evening or tomorrow? or is itjust the fact that these conversations are happening at all that is significant? it

very, very mild and very mild to start tomorrow morning. cloudy for many and the odd part of drizzle. england and wales should see some limited sunny breaks critically to the east of high ground. north—east scotland thing a little bit of fun click back some but for another scotland and northern ireland we will continue to see some outbreaks of rain. it is another windy day, particular gusty in the south east of scotland before the north—east, with some shelter from that breeze, we are looking at highs of 19 degrees. we look ahead to saturday, could well be some fog patches down towards the south, the winds could be a little lighter by the stage. the function tend to clear though and we will see more in the way a sunshine particularly across england and wales, and northern ireland, england and scotland. north—west scotland continuing to see rain. maybe a little cooler in the north but generally still very mild, highs of 18 degrees in london. before sunday, it is remembrance sunday, not a bad —looking day. spells of sunshine although cloud may roll into northern ireland with some rain here late in the day. still, we
