qatar, where male homosexuality is illegal and women need the permission of a man for a range of activities. football's governing body has come under fire for taking the world cup to qatar: but mr infantino said he had difficulty understanding criticism of the tournament. i think for what we europeans have been doing in the last 3000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3000 years. i am not qatari, i am not arab, i am not african. iam not i am not qatari, i am not arab, i am not african. i am not gay, i am not qatari, i am not arab, i am not african. iam not gay, i i am not qatari, i am not arab, i am not african. i am not gay, i am i am not qatari, i am not arab, i am not african. iam not gay, iam not not african. i am not gay, i am not disabled. iam not not african. i am not gay, i am not disabled. i am not really a migrant worker. ifeel like them, because i know what it means to be discriminated. to be bullied. as a

foreigner, in a foreign country, as a child, at school, i was bullied because i had red hair, and i had these red, how do you call them, freckles. after his statement, our sports editor dan roan challenged mr infantino on some of his comments. to some in the west, the critics are being hypocritical. isn't it hypocritical to, on the one hand say that fifa stands for equality and non—discrimination while at the same time supporting an event in a country which has discriminatory laws? if you were to exclude all the countries who have discriminatory laws or other human rights problems. we're playing football only. maybe you and me. maybe because i don't know. i know that me, i don't discriminate. but you.

i don't know. i hope not. so. i think it is real to bring that football, brings people together and unites the world. and i think we have to do that. and i think we have to welcome everybody in qatar. gay people are welcome in qatar. and we need to engage. we don't need to provoke. we need to engage. we need to discuss. how many? how many gay people were prosecuted in europe? sorry. it was a process. we went through a process we seem to forget. joining us now from doha is miguel delaney, chief football writer at the independent. yellow gather you're watching a ress yellow gather you're watching a press conference _ yellow gather you're watching a press conference online. - yellow gather you're watching a press conference online. what i yellow gather you're watching a i press conference online. what did you make of it?— press conference online. what did you make of it? staggering. given somethin: you make of it? staggering. given something he _ you make of it? staggering. given

inclusive, but how do you achieve that goal if you behave like this, trying to suppress criticism? it does point to one of the issues where virtually every human rights group would say that there was an opportunity here for reform, and changes to happen within qatar. now they say it is a lost opportunity because fifa hasn't taken that responsibility. you can see precisely why, when you hear the attitude of infantino. it is difficult to pick out what the worst line was. the freckles may be? it was very bizarre.— line was. the freckles may be? it was very bizarre. when you have been at the build uo — was very bizarre. when you have been at the build up to _ was very bizarre. when you have been at the build up to world _ was very bizarre. when you have been at the build up to world cup _ at the build up to world cup tournaments before, how does the atmosphere, the bus, inasmuch as there is a buzz, how does it compare to the build—ups that you have been to the build—ups that you have been to before? the to the build-ups that you have been to before? , , , ., to before? the biggest thing is that ou can

travel to, there are a lot of english expats here, but certainly the travelling numbers aren't going to be anything close to what used to. the issue is going to the atmosphere in stadiums. when you look at the reaction _ atmosphere in stadiums. when you look at the reaction to _ atmosphere in stadiums. when you look at the reaction to the - atmosphere in stadiums. when you look at the reaction to the articles | look at the reaction to the articles you are writing for your paper for readers, what sort of sense do you get from them about how they see all of this? it get from them about how they see all of this? , , of this? it is quite interesting because infantino _ of this? it is quite interesting because infantino did - of this? it is quite interesting l because infantino did articulate this, there is a bit of a split between a lot of the western world, where excitement has been suppressed because of the issues, but one of the bigger thick things with this world cup is that it is finally a world cup is that it is finally a world cup is that it is finally a world cup in in the middle east, which would be noble things apart from the cost, the human cost of this world cup. in general, from the

reaction, it doesn't feel like the world cup as it should be, because there is too much controversy. this is how a lot of people get introduced to the world cup so it does have that magic, but this magic has been taken away because so much of it has been solid. what we re were om the climate now to some breaking news fr were om the climate summit in egpt, cop 27. a new draft agreement has been published in the last hour , but whether countries will adopt it, is yet to be seen. this latest draft includes a proposalfor a deal to tackle the issue of "loss and damage" , the creation of a new fund to help poorer countries that have been particularly hit by climate change adapt.

a 60—year—old man, is due to be held on sunday. north korean leader kimjong—un says his country is capable of detering any nuclear threat, after testing another intercontinental ballistic missile. the missile was fired from pyongyang airport and landed in the sea, east of the korean peninsula. the north korean leader wasjoined at the launch by his daughter, belived to be named kim chu—ae. this is the first time any of kimjong un�*s children have appeared in public. how is it seen in the region — and is japan worried of a new level of escalation? i spoke earlier to simon chelton, associate fellow at security think—tank rusi, and a former defence attache in tokyo. this has been going on for some time. there is an acceptance that this level activity has been ongoing for some time. it is threatening, it seems to be creating a greater instability,

but i don't think it's more than that at the moment, other than that japan doesn't find it a welcome development. when kim jong—un says he is capable of deterring any nuclear threat, this looks far more of an aggressive stance in a defensive one? we would all think that. north korea has been on the path for creating, what you might call, nuclear deterrent for some considerable time, before he took over. there are three particular elements to that. one is to create a nuclear device which has been done. one is to create a delivery system which will be various different types of missiles, and the third stage, which were not sure yet has been done, is to create a warhead that could go into a missile. what they seem to be

demonstrating, through a whole range of missile test, is that there missile technology is developing to the point of becoming credible. what to read into the fact that he was accompanied by his daughter? there is a lot of speculation, and with north korea, nobody is ever quite sure. what you can be sure of is, that first of these occasions are intentionally surprising. they are carefully scripted. my personal view is that this is to say that the kim dynasty, after all he is the grandson of the founder of north korea, is here for the foreseeable future and the next generation is already being groomed in potential leadership. when his daughter will be a future leader is a different issue, but there is an element of stability of the dynasty within a communist regime, which we do find slightly unusual. the headlines on bbc news... the president of fifa has expressed support for the lgbtq community and migrant workers on the eve of the qatar world cup — but hits back at western critics

classified documents at his home, and allegations that he incited a mob of supporters to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. by removing the attorney general effectively from these investigations, handing it over to jack smith, this independent councillor, it is hoped that there will be seemed to be no conflict of interest as far as the us justice department and its officials are concerned. department and its officials are concerned-— department and its officials are concerned. �* , ., concerned. briefly, the timing of this, is the _ concerned. briefly, the timing of this, is the reason _ concerned. briefly, the timing of this, is the reason for— concerned. briefly, the timing of this, is the reason for this - concerned. briefly, the timing of this, is the reason for this his . this, is the reason for this his announcing his running for the presidency?— presidency? absolutely, and a erceived presidency? absolutely, and a perceived need _ presidency? absolutely, and a perceived need to _ presidency? absolutely, and a perceived need to show - presidency? absolutely, and a perceived need to show that i perceived need to show that investigating a political figure perceived need to show that investigating a politicalfigure is not the same as a political investigation, so to their forehand this inquiry overfrom investigation, so to their forehand this inquiry over from the department that is basically headed ljy

how individual players perform. people have asked if we are counting for the heat in qatar. you can definitely include all of the things things and we are just trying to show the process behind building these models and trying to see whether we can outperform paul the octopus. whether we can outperform paul the octous. , .,, . whether we can outperform paul the octous. , . a, whether we can outperform paul the octous. , ., a, ., ., octopus. joshua ball, mathematical modeller. an american woman, who falsely claimed her blood testing company could transform the way diseases are diagnosed, has beenjailed for more than 11 years. elizabeth holmes was found guilty of defrauding investors. herfirm, theranos, made her a billionaire ——— with claims that it could identify medical conditions using just a few drops of blood. police have called off the search for a woman reported to have been swept away while trying to rescue a dog in the river don in aberdeenshire. there was flooding in many areas as heavy downpours hit swathes

of eastern scotland yesterday. there were road and railway closures, and commuters faced impassable conditions. some properties were flooded despite the efforts of householders and fire crews. refuge centres have been set up for people who've had to leave their homes. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts hello there. under the clear skies last night it turned out to be the coldest once in spring last year, but further east, the north—east in particular, still with severe flood warnings, more details on sepa's website there about the threat to life because of that river flooding. not as much rain around today, but the last three days has brought the best part of 200 millilitres of rain. still more rain to come, even though it is lighter today, more coming down off the atlantic this evening and overnight.

for the rest of the day will see some cloud. after the morning frost has cleared it will be increasingly windy. it is a chilly feel out there, despite that sunshine, nine to 12 celsius on the cards for many. it does look as if it will be dry and reasonably bright to start with four rugby league world cup finals. however, as we get through the latter part of the evening and overnight, that rainfall advances into the western side of scotland, england and england and wales, and makes its way through most parts. and again into areas where the ground is saturated and there are still flood warnings in force. as a result of the strengthening wind, and all that rain, not quite as chilly overnight for most. perhaps a tad on the cold site for parts of east anglia and later into northern ireland. that rain should clear through the morning, and like the recent rainfall that has stayed put for three days, we will have

brightest guys following, with heavy, blustery showers. showers for most areas but most frequent in the west, and wintry over the hills in the north as well. quite a chilly day, ten to 12 celsius. yet more rainfall comes in off the atlantic for monday. we could have some gale force winds. it could be that we have another 20 to 30 millimetres of rainfall on this was the system as it pushes its way across england and wales and northern ireland and southern scotland. still chilly to the north of that. the outlook therefore is a rather inspect subtle looking picture, right into next week. you can get any links on the website.

good afternoon. the head of fifa, world football's governing body, has hit back at western critics of qatar's record on human rights, calling their comments "hypocrisy". gianni infantino was speaking ahead of the men's football world cup which kicks off tomorrow. qatar has faced intense scrutiny from the west over issues including its treatment of women, gay rights and the conditions for migrant workers. here's our sports editor, dan roan. his report contains flashing images.

earlier this week, the most powerful figure in football was all smiles at a world cup legacy event in doha but fifa has been heavily criticised for bringing the tournament here amid human rights concerns. and today at a press conference its president gianni infantino tried to hit back in an extraordinary monologue. tatiana;r in an extraordinary monologue. today i feel arab. today _ in an extraordinary monologue. today i feel arab. today i _ in an extraordinary monologue. today i feel arab. today i feel _ in an extraordinary monologue. today i feel arab. today i feel african. - i feel arab. today i feel african. today i feel gay. today i feel disabled. today i feel a migrant worker. ifeel like them because i know what it means to be discriminated.— know what it means to be discriminated. �* . ., , , discriminated. but that was 'ust the start. infantino * discriminated. but that was 'ust the start. infantino then fi discriminated. but that was just the start. infantino then appeared - discriminated. but that was just the start. infantino then appeared to i start. infantino then appeared to liken his own experience as a

and qatar ever since the tournament was awarded the gulf state 12 years ago and their perceived lack of willingness to address some of the keyissues willingness to address some of the key issues at play, i think this press conference really have the opposite effect. he looked angry, he looked frustrated, during that near our long monologue, and really took aim at the western media for what he called its hypocrisy in its coverage of the treatment of migrant workers. fifa were hoping on the eve of this tournament with the opening match to come tomorrow between qatar, the hosts, and ecuador, that the football would take centre stage. as we heard dan roan say, a letter had been written by fifa to those member associations to say focus on the football. the english and welsh fa simply replied, its human rights for all that this tournament. and as we know now, those issues really do remain front and centre as we prepare for this world cup to kick off. john watson in doha, thank you. talks at the climate conference in egypt have extended into an extra day.

countries are divided over a fund to help nations affected by climate change and proposals to limit carbon emissions. the un climate agency has just published an updated draft text of the final agreement proposed by cop27 host, egypt. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt is in sharm el—sheikh. what hope is there of them agreeing this draft as a final deal?— this draft as a final deal? look, i don't think— this draft as a final deal? look, i don't think this _ this draft as a final deal? look, i don't think this is _ this draft as a final deal? look, i don't think this is a _ this draft as a final deal? look, i don't think this is a final- this draft as a final deal? look, i don't think this is a final deal. i don't think this is a final deal. this is more movement, so there have been bids, if you like, and counter bids. we are in the middle of a haggle at the moment. the new draft text is better than the old one. the other one didn't mention that totemic 1.5 other one didn't mention that totemic1.5figure. this one repeats the glasgow language on 1.5. it says countries need to come back at the next cop with more ambitious targets for cutting emissions and it also says there does need to be some kind of fund but there leaves all sorts

of fund but there leaves all sorts of things to be decided. all around me other delegation offices where negotiating teams from the countries are. they are telling me that developed countries still doesn't say it goes far enough on cutting target emissions will stop developing nations are saying are still not happy with the deal being offered on the fun for loss and damage for the impact climate change is having. we are still not at a decision now. we could stay the talks are in deadlock. but that doesn't mean it couldn't all come together quite quickly so we really, frankly, ben, don't know where we are. , . ., . frankly, ben, don't know where we are. , ., ., . ., ., are. justin rowlatt, climate editor, thank you- — a search has resumed for a woman who is thought to have been swept away into a river as torrential rain battered parts of scotland yesterday. the wet weather is continuing to cause disruption to travel, with roads and rail services affected. robert townsend reports. this was the scene in fife after heavy rainfall brought severe flooding to parts of the road network. elsewhere, in dunfermline, commuters faced impassable conditions.

whilst floodwaters also rose across parts of edinburgh. the past 24 hours have seen heavy rain and winds batter much of the east coast. residents, with the help of fire crews, tried their best to defend their homes against flooding, until the rising water levels proved too much. when the water started seeping through the floorboards, through the tiles in the bathroom, initiallyjust come all the way through, and itjust spread into the bottom level of the house. what can you do? put down towels? well, that's not going to help. it's happened before, and i mean, it's really upsetting because it's uprooting my family again. for some, the conditions brought devastation to property. i'm back at square one. all these floors are going to have to come up now. that partition's going to have to come out. the plaster boards. for others, it was an anxious wait to see if they'd be spared the very worst of the weather. i've got a nine—month—old son and so, you know, i when you've got a baby in the house, it's much worse worrying _ about where are you going to go, i and all the things you need to take for him and stuff.

rail travel has also been severely disrupted, with cancellations and speed restrictions across much of the network. sailings to and from shetland have faced cancellations, with supplies on supermarket shelves now running low. drivers have been urged to avoid unnecessaryjourneys where possible, with some river levels still not thought to have reached their peak. what we are asking people to do is plan ahead, make sure themselves and the vehicle are prepared for the journey. take notice of the police scotland travel advice warning. with disruption expected to continue into the weekend, residents are being urged to follow official advice. robert townsend, bbc news. with all the sport now, here's hugh ferris at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. after more than a month of action across england, the rugby league world cup comes to an end today. the hosts had success in last night's wheelchair final, beating france in manchester.
