this is bbc news. the headlines at six... the qatar world cup has kicked off with a lavish opening ceremony. the host nation are playing ecuador right now and they are 2—0 down after the first half. the tournament is taking place amongst criticism of qatar's human rights record — fifa and government officials in doha say the country is being singled out unfairly. a murder investigation has begun after two children died and a woman was left critically injured in a fire at a flat in nottingham. a shooting outside a gay nightclub in the us state of colorado leaves five people dead. police have named the suspected gunman who's been arrested.

let's get more now on the world cup, which kicked offjust over an hour ago. the opening match is coming to an end. organisers hope questions about the wisdom of staging the tournament in qatar will be replaced by a focus on the football. lucy hockings is in doha, the capital city of qatar. hello and welcome to qatar, where the football world cup is well under way. we see fireworks light up the night sky at the moment because the first match is finally over, and it will be a disappointing night for the hosts. they have been beaten by ecuador in the first of the matches. you wouldn't have known from the crowd at the stadium because there were huge amount of qatari fans who looked excited. they werejumping up

and down and singing and dancing throughout, but qatarfell and down and singing and dancing throughout, but qatar fell behind in the 16th minute from the penalty spot from former west ham forward valencia. it was a great match for the ecuadorian captain. he had an injury but seems to be ok, but there was an early goal ruled out through var, but he did score just before half—time. ecuador dominated the match throughout. the opening ceremony, i think the celebrations are still happening. but we had some fireworks earlier as well. a real message of unity coming through from the people who spoke, including the oscar—winning actor morgan freeman. the stadium where it took place resembles a bedouin tent. very

symbolic for everyone here, saying that the world is welcome to this world cup. 32 countries attended the opening ceremony as well and we saw some world leaders who were present. they included the turkish and egyptian president, as well as the saudi crown prince. the tournament is being held in the arid country for the first time and in the middle east —— an arab country. all those fans at the opening ceremonyjust a short time ago. that short match is now concluding with ecuador completely dominant. let's take you to paul mcfarland, and ecuadorfan. hejoins us from to paul mcfarland, and ecuadorfan. he joins us from santa to paul mcfarland, and ecuadorfan. hejoins us from santa cruz, ireland —— santa cruz island. congratulations. what is you make of the match? ., �* , .,

this country has achieved and particularly part of the fact for the first time, the world cup is held in a middle eastern country. jeremy, thank you very much forjoining us. so much is being spoken about qatar's suitability to stage the world cup, but what do the hosts hope the world cup will give them? well, in a way, it's a culmination, gary, of a massive nation—building effort that has gone on for about 50 years, since britain gave them independence and they discovered they were sitting on this vast ocean of natural gas, so they were very, very rich. well, ifirst went to doha in 1990 just before the first gulf war. there was only one multi—story building, which was the sheraton hotel, the one that looks a bit like a pyramid if you see shots of doha, and now it's got a spectacular skyline. so, i think they would've done on the investment in things all the investment in things like hotels and the metro and that kind of stuff anyway, probably.

but what the world cup gives them is, of course, this extraordinary global attention, and that's what they want because, for a country that is very small, they want to have an influence in the world that is more reflective of, if you like, their bank balance than the size of the population. how significant is it for this tournament to be taking place in the middle east? well, it's massive. there is an enormous following for football in the middle east in countries like egypt and tunisia, morocco. when they have local derbies, it's every bit as passionate and as fervent as anything in europe or south america. and football in the middle east has got a lot of political and cultural residents as well. resonance as well. after the 2011 arab uprisings against dictators in the middle east, organise groups of ultras, football fans, took to the streets and fought

the police and very much saw themselves as the shock troops of the revolution. i saw them in egypt fighting for days and days, braving tear gas and live bullets, and as well as that, there's nationalism involved. there was a national team in algeria while they were still fighting for independence from france, and i think there's one more thing. in countries which are sometimes very divided against themselves, it's a bit of a breathing space, going to a football match, particularly when the national team plays, because it's then something people who disagree about a lot can get behind. people always talk about the legacy elements of big sporting events. let's just take you back to the stadium where we are starting to see thousand leaving now that the match is over. things look very calm and

orderly. there have been pictures that show there were empty seats in the stadium, particularly for the second half. but no talk of any problems so far. you're with bbc news. thank you, lucy. we'll leave it doha for the moment. a murder investigation has been launched after two young children died and a woman was left critically injured in a fire at a flat in nottingham. earlier, our correspondent anjani gadgil gave us this update. the fire took place in a first floor flat in a 2—story building. there were three people present who were treated they were a woman and two young children, aged just three and one.

four o'clock that morning. the three people were taken to the queen's medical centre in nottingham. both children died at the hospital and the woman remains in critical condition. the fire was started deliberately and nottinghamshire police are now appealing for witnesses. what more have police said? the investigation was launched later today. detective chief inspector greg magill, who is leading the investigation, said the circumstances were tragic and very sad and his thoughts with the family of those involved. detectives are working hard and will be in the local area. there will be a large police

presence while flats remain cordoned off an inquiries continue. nottinghamshire fire and rescue service also said they will be in the area to offer reassurance to residents over coming days. 22—year—old is custody named as anderson lee alrdich. the shooting has been described as a hate attack. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. now it's ti commute >ok now it's ti comr they ok at the we much vith matt. now it's ti comr they ok

good evening. having overrun into a second additional day, delegates at the cop27 climate summit finally reached agreement in the early hours of this morning. a landmark deal was agreed to create a "loss and damage" fund to help vulnerable countries cope with the impacts of climate change. it means developed countries such as britain will help foot the bill for damage caused by global warming.

there was a recommitment for nations to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius compared to pre—pandemic industrial levels — this was first agreed at the paris climate conference seven years ago. but despite this there were no further cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, other than what had already been agreed at cop26 in glasgow last year, with the final document referring instead to using "low—emissions" energy. our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. these talks were supposed to end on friday. they went through friday night and then through saturday night. it was 4:15 on sunday morning when the gavel finally came down on the loss and damage deal. i hear no objections, it's so decided. applause. the exhausted delegates only managed a ripple of applause. but this is a landmark deal on an issue that has dogged these talks for decades.

clearly, this will not be enough, but it is a much needed political signal to rebuild broken trust. the voices of those on the front lines of the climate crisis must be heard. hurricane ian tears through cuba earlier this year. today's deal creates a fund to help vulnerable nations cope with the loss and damage climate related storms, droughts and floods are already wreaking in their communities. the deal on loss and damage is undoubtedly a breakthrough, but there is huge disappointment in this room — disappointment that the rest of the text is not more ambitious. leaders of delegations met to discuss how they could change the wording to increase the effort to cut emissions. the aim of these summits is to raise ambition every year, but today's deal dials back on what was agreed last year in glasgow. we need to switch to renewable

power, it says, but also low emission energy. what is low emission energy? it is understood the phrase was included after pressure from the saudi delegation and other fossil fuel rich countries, and it is feared it could allow natural gas to be classified as green. there was a very strong move by some of the petro states to try and unwind some of those decisions and in fact go back to pre—paris kind of arrangements. and so, i mean, as you can tell, because how late we are it was sort of trench warfare on that. many nations wanted the targets for emission reductions to be much stronger. emissions peaking before 2025, as the science tells us is necessary. not in this text! clear follow—through on the phase—down of coal. not in this text! a clear commitment to phase out all fossil fuels. not in this text!

and the energy text weakened in the final minutes. but the deal on loss and damage is genuinely a breakthrough, says the woman who led negotiations for developing countries. it's given me hope. it's restored faith. in multilateralism. |it's given us all hope in the cop| system and literally in the power of working together. the problem is, for many here, the rest of the deal is so disappointing. it means what could have been a triumph for egypt is likely to end up being judged a failure. justin rowlatt, bbc news, sharm el—sheikh, egypt. as you may have seen the 2022 men's football world cup kicked off this afternoon in qatar with the hollywood actor morgan freeman appearing at the opening ceremony to tell the crowd that football could unite communities and countries.

our sports editor dan roan is in al khor where the first match took place. dan. these are the images the host had wanted the tournament to project. the uniqueness of a first world cup in the middle east, evident with her fans from around the globe at the bedouin tent inspired stadium, one of seven built especially for this moment, whatever the cost. the opening ceremony was an impressive and colourful celebration with an international flavour. hollywood actor morgan freeman, narrating the

enner valencia won a penalty and then converted it giving his side then converted it giving his side the lead. qatar's first goal has come from the spot. the hosts were struggling to get out of their own half and soon they were two down. this cross finding that man valencia again. ecuador in control. this wasn't in qatar's script. many of the home fans left during the second half and with qatar failing to score, those that remained so their team become the first hopes to lose at an opening world cup. qatar now face a battle to get out of group a. that was a poor performance, and it does make you wonder how they get on again stronger teams like senegal and the netherlands and they may struggle to progress in their own tournament. tomorrow, back in britain will turn very much both to england and wales. england trained

today, as you can see ahead of their opening group b match against iran. james madison the only man unavailable for his squad. wales also ramping up their preparations ahead of theirfirst also ramping up their preparations ahead of their first world cup match in 64 years against the united states. much to look forward to tomorrow. meanwhile, i'm sure the hosts are just relieved the football begun. thank you. president biden has said the us "must not tolerate hate" after five people were shot dead in a gay nightclub in colorado. a 22—year—old suspect was arrested at the scene. our north america correspondent barbara plett usher reports. it was nearly midnight when the gunman walked into a dance party at club q. he was armed with a long rifle and started shooting immediately. but two clubgoers tackled him and stopped the killing. what i can't stop thinking about is the visuals of the evening. of the bodies, of the blood, of the broken glass,

of the carnage and the wreckage and seeing a safe place turned into a war zone. police are investigating whether this was a hate crime. club q is a safe haven for our lgbtq citizens. every citizen has the right to feel safe and secure in our city, to go about our beautiful city without fear of being harmed or treated poorly. the suspect was named as 22—year—old anderson lee aldrich. it's not clear if he was previously known to police. america's gay clubs and bars have been targeted before. the most deadly attack, six years ago at the pulse nightclub in florida. club q said it was devastated by the senseless violence against its community. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. donald trump's twitter account has been reactivated after its new owner, elon musk, let his followers decide in an online poll whether the former president should be allowed back.

they voted 52% to 48% in favour. donald trump was banned from the site injanuary last year following the rioting on capitol hill. he then set up his own platform, truth social, and claims to have no interest in returning to twitter. the housing secretary, michael gove, has written to every council and social housing provider in england to warn that deaths like that of awaab ishak must "never be allowed to happen again". an inquest found that the two—year—old died from a respiratory condition caused by mould exposure in the flat in rochdale where he lived. yesterday the head of the housing association that rented the flat to the family was sacked. that's it, the next news on bbc one is at 10:00pm. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. our headlines this evening. qatar become the first host nation to lose their opening match of the world cup... beaten by ecuador. for the iran game and each one they have in qatar, england will take the knee ahead of kick—off. we think it is a strong statement that will— we think it is a strong statement that will go around the world for people _ that will go around the world for heaple to — that will go around the world for people to see. that inclusivity is very— people to see. that inclusivity is very important. emma hayes returns to the touchline as her chelsea team go top of the wsl. also coming up in the programme... a fitting finish for verstappen. he wins a 15th grand prix in abu dhabi to end a record—breaking season.

hello and welcome to sportsday. it's likely to be a unique world cup for a host of reasons. and we have another from the first match of the tournament. no host nation had ever lost their opening game until now. qatar beaten 2—0 by ecuador at the al bayt stadium. where we canjoin nesta mcgregor. nesta... it was a fairly comfortable win for ecuador. it you may be able to hear the fans behind me singing and i am sure that they will be singing long into the night. the writing was on the wall from early on. ecuador in their fourth world cup qatar in their first. the south americans dominated possession they look stronger physically and they looked more tactically aware. i don't think it's our touch the ball in that quarter box until the second half. so a very, very comfortable win. eaten

box until the second half. so a very, very comfortable win. even in the first three _ very, very comfortable win. even in the first three minutes _ very, very comfortable win. even in the first three minutes with - very, very comfortable win. even in| the first three minutes with ecuador thinking that they had scored, but as it turned out the ar had a very early introduction to this tournament too. before then it was very comfortable was he said for ecuador from valencia and then from the penalty spot qatar the chances but few and far between. how disappointed with the host be given that yes, it did not meet expectations. i that yes, it did not meet expectations.— that yes, it did not meet exectations. ~ , expectations. i think disappointing is --erhas expectations. i think disappointing is perhaps the _ expectations. i think disappointing is perhaps the correct _ expectations. i think disappointing is perhaps the correct way - expectations. i think disappointing is perhaps the correct way to - expectations. i think disappointing is perhaps the correct way to put l is perhaps the correct way to put it. but it was embarrassing and sensible to before the game, that was their biggest fear. possibly losing five or 6—0. that would have been the worst purple spell start because it will not get any easier for qatar. it is worth saying that all of their starting 11 play domestically in the country. so the big fear is that had they had enough

international competition at the highest level and will they be found out at the tournament goes on. what was also disappointing was i guess we organise his point of view is the amount of empty seats especially after half—time. if the many people had given up and not return to their seats and by the end of ecuador fans for the ones making the most noise. you mentioned the organisers given the nature of the build up notjust in the last few days but since the tournament was awarded to them some 12 years ago it has been a conversation filled with controversy. and yet now, i imagine, in spite of his empty seats they are relieved that there is football my pitch. relieved that there is football my itch. ~ ., relieved that there is football my titch, . ., ., relieved that there is football my itch. ~ ., ., ., , ., pitch. who can forget the lead up to this came, pitch. who can forget the lead up to this game. it _ pitch. who can forget the lead up to this game, it has _ pitch. who can forget the lead up to this game, it has been _ pitch. who can forget the lead up to this game, it has been about - pitch. who can forget the lead up to this game, it has been about lgbt i this game, it has been about lgbt rights and the rights of migrant workers. the role of women in the middle east, there has been lots going on. so fifa before return and said that they would like to country on football. so i'm sure that now that they are happy that that is

going on. football will be grabbing
