team more remote part of doha. the team arrived here last night and wales got here early this morning. they're both preparing for games on the same day and on the same group but their sketches are different, wales have gone to a local community event to meet some local children and when england landed i got to speak to captain harry kane and we spoke about how strange the build—up is to about how strange the build—up is to a world cup. such a short period of time but the excitement as they are. todayis time but the excitement as they are. today is the first day of training, they will be preparing for the game on monday against iran injust they will be preparing for the game on monday against iran in just five days and that is the same day that wales take on the usa. they will have to deal with the heat, it is 32 degrees here and gareth southgate has just five days to get his message across to the players but of course there is a lot of excitement because it is a world cup but in 13 days all eyes will be in this group when england and wales take each other on and what could be the group
1:31 pm
decider. �* . ~ other on and what could be the group decider. �* ., ~ , ., time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. it has been pretty wet so far this november with more rain on the way and quite windy at times. temperatures in the coming days using a little bit but so far this month it has been around 4.3 degrees above the average for the time of year which is pretty staggering. this is thejet year which is pretty staggering. this is the jet stream pattern and this weather system still across part of the uk in the next few days. that means a lot of rain and particularly across eastern areas. everyone is going to get at least some rain, this is the reigning scale in millimetres and the east of scotland and parts of north east england and yorkshire having around
1:32 pm
80 millilitres of rain. so that weather system is approaching right now and will reach the seven counties through this afternoon. also heavy showers and a strong wind in the northern isles. so from lunchtime onwards the low pressure gets stuck over us for a few days approaching the south and south—west. elsewhere the weather not too bad, some sunny spells and occasional showers but a very strong wind and heavy showers in shetland for example with gusts of up 70 miles an hour. so tonight heavy rain in eastern scotland and then this area of low pressure sweeps in. very strong wind in the channel and a long channel coasts especially for the channel islands. low pressure parking around east anglia and spreading rain in other parts of the country. 2 degrees in the lowlands of scotland, 9 degrees in the south. then this low once established here
1:33 pm
around east anglia and parts of lincolnshire, this is where it is going to stay through the rest of the week and through much of the weekend as well. northern ireland actually not looking too bad tomorrow with some sunshine. 0n tomorrow with some sunshine. on friday the low pressure still here and you can see the wind blowing from the north sea towards parts of the pennines and eastern scotland and that is why we get a lot of rainfall here and that is why south—west england and southern wales will get away with it with some sunshine around. into the weekend if you want some bright whether the south is the place to be specially south—western areas but elsewhere it will be wet. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne , so it's goodbye from me , and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.
1:34 pm
time for some sport here on the bbc news channel. hello, i'm hugh ferris. after both england and wales both arrived in qatar yesterday. today it's down to business, with england training for the first time in the host nation this afternoon. these are live pictures from the team base's training base in al wakra where they've just begun their preparations for their opening match against iran on monday. later we'll hear from james maddison, speaking for the first time since he was the headline inclusion in gareth southgate's squad. very hot at the moment, 30 degrees. the first 15 minutes of this training session are open to the public, the media, which means generally you will not find out anything from them.
1:35 pm
tournament organisers are aware of an incident where a danish broadcast crew were mistakenly interrupted during a live broadcast in one of qatar's tourist destinations. upon inspection of the crew's valid tournament accreditation and filming permit, an apology was made to the broadcaster by on—site security before the crew resumed their activity. you invited the whole world to come here, why can't we film? it is a public place. we can tell many we want to. in public place. we can tell many we want to. . , . . public place. we can tell many we wantto. . , . ., ., ., , want to. in a statement, an apology was made once — want to. in a statement, an apology was made once the _ want to. in a statement, an apology was made once the filming - want to. in a statement, an apology was made once the filming permit l want to. in a statement, an apology i was made once the filming permit was seen. meanwhile, the world cup's supreme committee have issued a statement denying fake fans have been recruited to welcome teams to qatar,
1:36 pm
as speculated in some media outlets. "we thoroughly reject these assertions, which are both disappointing and unsurprising. journalists on the ground who speak and meet these fans unlikely to go away. that we will stop talking about these kind of things. that is not going to happen, by the way. as the usa did yesterday. england and wales will wear the one love armband in solidarity with lgbtq plus people. homosexuality is banned here and that is very much going to continue, i think. these quiet shows of defiance from players and fans throughout the tournament. if fifa think they are going to be quite, that is wishful thinking. former england defender gary cahill has retired at the age of 36. although he played for five teams in the premier league he was best know for his time at chelsea. cahill won eight major honours during seven
1:37 pm
years at stamford bridge, that included two premier league titles, two fa cups and the champions league. he also won 61 england caps and appeared at two world cups. he has been a free—agent since leaving bournemouth last season. the uk snooker championship is back under way in york. ronnie 0'sullivan is back at the table after defeating matthew stevens in the first round on monday. play began at i o'clock so they're still in the early stages of the second round where he's taking on zhou yuelong. this is the latest from york's barbican centre... it is ronnie 0'sullivan who has taken the first frame. he leads and needs six to go through to the next round. this match continues now on bbc two. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport
1:38 pm
the secretary general of nato has said that the missile attack in poland was robbery as a result of ukraine's air defence systems. let's hear more of what the secretary general of nato, jens stoltenberg, had to say at that press conference this morning. we have no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack. and we have no indication that russia is preparing offensive
1:39 pm
military actions against nato. 0ur preliminary analysis suggests that the incident was likely caused by the incident was likely caused by the ukrainian air defence missile fired to defend ukrainian territory against russian cruise missile attacks. but let me be clear. this is not ukraine's fault. russia bears ultimate responsibility, as it continues its illegal war against ukraine. . , ., ., ,, . ., , ukraine. that is the nato secretary general. world leaders held emergency talks at the g20 summit. the bbc�*s political editor chris mason is at the summit in bali. he gave us this update. let me talk you through the day here at the g20 summit in bali. so the events in poland happened in the middle of the night local time here. so leaders awoke to the news. rishi sunak, the prime minister, was woken up at 5am local time.
1:40 pm
within an hour he'd spoken to the defence secretary he'd spoken to president duda of poland. the diaries of the prime ministers and the presidency were shredded in the light of the news coming from europe, and meetings were hastily arranged, not least the g7 leaders present here and those in the nato defence alliance, including the uk and rishi sunak. they met for around about 45 minutes. it was after that that president biden suggested that us intelligence, it seems, pointed towards the fact that it was unlikely that this explosion in poland was caused by a missile that had come from russia. strikingly, mr sunak wouldn't be drawn publicly about what he thinks, what the uk thinks, might have happened. take a look at this. my exchange with the british prime minister in a news conference as this summit closed.
1:41 pm
i think what we all agreed this morning was that it was important for our teams to establish the facts, and that is exactly what is happening as we speak. there are teams on the ground involving notjust the poles, but also the ukrainians, americans and others. i think all of us want to get to the bottom of what happened, and it's right that we let that process conclude. but to your second point and taking a step back, the reason we're even having this conversation is because yesterday russia rained down over 80 missile strikes on the ukrainians, on civilians, on civilian infrastructure, electricity, water, and such. that's why we're having this conversation and we can't lose sight of that fact. but we will get to the bottom of what happened. and that's what the teams are doing as we speak. this is a big test for the nato defence alliance because even if in this instance it turns out not to be a russian missile, the question will be posed and will be thought through in foreign ministries around that alliance —
1:42 pm
what would we do if it happened? and it could so easily happen, given the number of russian missiles that are raining down on ukraine, and the proximity of the polish border. that desire from leaders to try and reassure their own electorates about the prospect of being drawn into a conflict with russia that so, so few people would want to see happen on either side. so a huge international challenge early on for the new prime minister the deputy prime minister dominic raab has said he has asked for an independent investigation into two formal complaints that have been made against him. standing in for rishi sunak at pmqs in the commons this lunchtime, he said he would use the investigation to refute the claims. angela rayner of labour questioned why he had not ordered the investigation himself. she asked

1:44 pm
some of the stories making the headlines this lunchtime from our newsrooms across the united kingdom. a man has admitted the murder of a lancashire woman whose body was found in a makeshift grave in a forest. andrew bird field changed his plea to admit the murder of katie kenyon on the third day of his trial at preston crown court. the court heard that andrew burfield killed katie in april. he had dug the grave a day before. he then tried to cover up his tracks. the jury tried to cover up his tracks. the jury heard how he had sent messages to himself and her children using her phone. it was also said he was interviewed on four occasions, which
1:45 pm
initially he had said he had knew nothing about her whereabouts. there was a revelation and he changed his version of events. burfield told police he had taken katie kenyon to a technic in the forest of lisbon and that she had bet him that he could not hit her can of coke with his axe. the court heard that he told police, i went for the tree at the side of her and it hit her in her head. he claimed she had been hit with the back of the axe and had not suffered any other injuries but a postmortem examination revealed in fact she had been hit on the head around 12 times. he was rearranged on the murder charge this morning and was found guilty stop he was discharged and will return here to president tomorrow where he is due to be sentenced. a leading surgeon who was paralysed

1:51 pm
the coroner said the death of awaab ishak should be a defining moment for the housing sector. this is the damp and mould that killed awaab. his family had been complaining about it for years. his dad had been told to paint over it, which he did, but that wasn't enough to stop awaab developing a lung condition, which is extremely rare in young people. yesterday, a coronerfound that the only developed that condition because he had been exposed to the mould and damp in his home for his whole short life. the past two years have been gruelling. when awaab died, our lives changed forever. we cannot tell you how many health professionals we have cried in front of. and rochdale borough housing staff we have pleaded to, have been living in. this is where awaab's family had been living ever since his dad moved here to rochdale from sudan in 2016. the coroner found the ishak family home here wasn't equipped for day—to—day living. that's despite the fact that rochdale boroughwide housing had previously blamed the family's lifestyle on the mould, which eventually killed their son.
1:52 pm
the inquest heard the mould and damp was there because of bad ventilation, not the family's lifestyle. a legal claim meant no remedial action was taken. the coroner said it should have been. in response to the verdict, the housing association's chief executive said that he is truly devastated about awaab's death and the things that he said they got wrong. he added, "we must make sure this can never happen again. "awaab's death needs to be a wake—up call for everyone in housing, "social care and health". but the housing secretary has called for that chief executive to stand down. it seems to be inconceivable that the chief executive of a housing association, earning north of £150,000, who is responsible for decent homes in rochdale... the fact that this case was raised by awaab's father years ago, the fact that he had to get a solicitor on the case in order to try to make sure that he and his family were living in a decent home, the fact that they did nothing and hid behind procedure, i mean, honestly, it beggars belief that this guy is still in office. he is coming here
1:53 pm
in order to explain to me why it was that this tragedy was allowed to happen. but are the ishaks alone? in the block where they lived, yesterday i spoke to one woman who didn't want to appear on camera but she sent me these photos of the mould in her home. she says that she has been raising it with rochdale boroughwide for years, too. the coroner looking into awaab's death asked the question when she delivered her verdict which many others are asking. she said, "how in the uk, in 2020, does a two—year—old child die "from exposure to mould in his home?" phil mccann, bbc news, rochdale. the cost of school uniforms put a lot of pressure on parents, so any new law was introduced in england in september to make them more affordable, it was widely welcomed. however, some charities say the changes are not being put into practice quickly enough and many families are still turning to them for support. look at it! it's a church, but it's also home to a charity.
1:54 pm
above the congregation there are boxes and boxes and boxes of donated school uniforms. we've got over 500 boxes full of clothes. it's just such a huge need in the city for help with the costs of school clothing. and are you seeing that need grow? definitely this year. it's not helped by this. the need for a logo. some schools require more than others. 14 to 15 polo shirts... mum of four, louise, who also volunteers for this charity, knows only too well the pressures that are on parents. there are several schools in this area that want particular material style, fit, length, and all the uniform, including trousers and skirts, has to have the tiny little logo on it to say the school approves. but this should have changed by now. in september, the government announced new legally binding rules that said branded items should be kept to a minimum and schools should ensure that
1:55 pm
uniforms are affordable. so the government's changed the rules. you laughed at me when i said that. yeah, because the schools, although they say they're doing it for the pupils, their restrictions, particularly in high school, are getting worse and worse. so many schools have the pe kits in house colours. and it'sjust... it's crazy. it's down to how these rules are interpreted. some expect more than others. and it's a frustration for this charity, which is continuously trying to keep up with growing demand. we're not really seeing any schools that we noticed simplifying their uniform or making it particularly much cheaper. in fact, some schools we've seen increased the number of logoed items. this charity says it needs more donations, more volunteers, but also an understanding from schools of the impact that their school uniform policies
1:56 pm
are having on families in need. caroline bilton, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. you know, it's been so wet so far this november, parts of south—eastern england for example have already exceeded their monthly rainfall. and there's more to come. on top of that, some strong winds in the next few days. and certainly through today and tonight there will be some very strong winds around in places. now, this is the jet stream. it's generally to the south of us. notice this weather system here will stall across the uk over the next three days or so. what does that mean? of the country will have most of the rainfall. here's the rainfall accumulation over the next few days.
1:57 pm
0bviously many of us catching rainfall. not that much rainfall, actually, in western parts of northern ireland. but here, from eastern scotland into the north—east of england and into yorkshire, potentially around 80 millimetres of rain. so here's the weather map for today. that low pressure approaching the south. the one that's going to stall over us in the next few days. so initially it does bring rain to southern parts of the uk through the afternoon. very windy with showers in the north—east of scotland. and then, elsewhere today, it's a mixture of sunny spells and occasional showers. so gales in the northern isles. later, gales also expected through the english channel. and very blustery along the channel coasts. look at all that rain spreading across the country during the course of the night with this area of low pressure, so it parks itself around about here with heavy rain from northern england through the midlands into the south—east. this is early on thursday morning. and this is pretty much where it's going to stay or the next few days. in fact, it's there through the middle of thursday.
1:58 pm
and again, that heavy rain affecting eastern scotland, the north of england. not too bad i think tomorrow — southern wales and along the channel coast. this is friday. the low pressure is still here. it's still pushing in moisture clouds, rain clouds, into eastern areas through the course of the day. so that's where we'll get most of the rainfall through the rest of the week the further north—east you are. whereas, in the south—west, it's actually going to be better in places like plymouth. and then, in the weekend, again, a bit of a mixed bag. i suspect southern areas on saturday may not be too bad.
2:00 pm
this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at two... as food prices and energy bills drive up the cost of living, it makes people poorer, that's what inflation does, and it's the enemy that we need to face down. i want to make sure that we do that, and we do it as quickly as possible. nato says the missile that killed two people in poland was probably fired by ukrainian air defences. the deputy prime minister asks for an independent investigation after two formal complaints have been made against him about his behaviour. third time lucky as nasa finally manage to launch their artemis 0ne
