hello again. it's likely to be a unique world cup for a host of reasons. one that up to 12 years of questions and conjecture have at last made way for the competition. 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. too many it is still surreal but the first winter world cup was here. after a build—up mired first winter world cup was here. aftera build—up mired in controversy these images the host wanted to tournament to project. the uniqueness of the first world cup in the middle east evident from fans around the globe here at the stadium one of seven belt 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 first section and with a message of unity. first section and with a message of uni . ., ., first section and with a message of uni . , , first section and with a message of uni . , ., unity. football spans the world. it unites nations _ unity. football spans the world. it unites nations in _ unity. football spans the world. it unites nations in their— unity. football spans the world. it unites nations in their love - unity. football spans the world. it unites nations in their love of - unity. football spans the world. it unites nations in their love of the | unites nations in their love of the beautiful— unites nations in their love of the beautiful game. what brings together nations_ beautiful game. what brings together nations also brings together communities.— nations also brings together communities_ ., ., ., ., , , , ., nations also brings together communities, m, ., ,, ., ., communities. qatar was desperate for this tournament _ communities. qatar was desperate for this tournament to _ communities. qatar was desperate for this tournament to be _ communities. qatar was desperate for this tournament to be an _ communities. qatar was desperate for this tournament to be an expression l this tournament to be an expression for their world ambition in having got the world attention this was the perfect face put on a show. and with a number of world leaders present the country's ruler declared the tournament open.— the country's ruler declared the tournament open. the country's ruler declared the tournament 0 en. . .., ., ., ., tournament open. welcome and good luck to all. and _ tournament open. welcome and good luck to all. and after _ tournament open. welcome and good luck to all. and after his _ luck to all. and after his remarkable _ luck to all. and after his remarkable speech - luck to all. and after his - remarkable speech yesterday luck to all. and after his _ remarkable speech yesterday when he turned on the critics, thief or president finally turned to the football. �* . president finally turned to the football. �* , . ., ., , football. let's welcome the teams and let the — football. let's welcome the teams and let the show _ football. let's welcome the teams and let the show begin. _ football. let's welcome the teams and let the show begin. qatar - football. let's welcome the teams and let the show begin. qatar are | and let the show begin. qatar are called by virtue _ and let the show begin. qatar are called by virtue of _ and let the show begin. qatar are called by virtue of being -

1958. a 64 year wait all leading up to this. just as you say over 2a hours this players will be on the pitch blood pumping as they hear in a world cup venue. for the players, yes, it has been a long time coming. some of them like gareth bale he has been on the wales team for the last 16 years or so. so 25% of that wait has been with gareth bale. he is part of the generation that came in blooded by tom, but then they went to the heartbreak of losing him and somehow they managed to rally and go through to european tournaments. at this, they all agree is the pinnacle. this is what they all dreamed of it. gareth bale speaking to us earlier said, he hoped that this achievement will help inspire the next generation of welsh footballers. it's probably the biggest honour we could do for our country is to qualify.

it hasn't been done in 64 years. it ended something that is history in our country. people will stop to watch a game, kids will miss school, fortunately for them. so it isjust one of those moments that is a massive piece of history in our country. something that we have all wanted for a long time and like i said, to be the team that was to get off the line and do that for our country is incredible and we have support of our nation. there has been a bit of intrigue over whetherjoe allen will be ready to play. quite a lot of intrigue in today's press conferencejoe allen, a linchpin in the welsh midfield has not played for

swansea city since september. and when he took to that same podium rob page admitted that probably, he would rule outjoe allen for tomorrow's game. thinking it was too early and too much of a risk were he not to make it the game if you would be out for the rest of the tournament. however, when the same question was put to gareth bale it seemed to be news to him. he did not seem to know thatjoe allen was out so some miss information i suppose we will not know for another 2a hours whether he is part of the team. it is safe to say that they are probably planning without him for their first encounter against the us which is expected to be a tough physical, fast game in their press conference the this afternoon and the american coach said, that they are preparing to be aggressive with wales. saying that they need to go toe to toe with their physicality. the american team say that they have some talent but it is really their youth and physicality that is probably their main

quite a battle there'll tomorrow night when it comes to wales's kick—off against usa. gareth southgate has also confirmed that after not doing so in the most recent matches in september england will once again take the knee before kick—off. lode will once again take the knee before kick-off. ~ ., ,. , , ., ~ kick-off. we have discussed taking the knee, kick-off. we have discussed taking the knee. we _ kick-off. we have discussed taking the knee, we feel— kick-off. we have discussed taking the knee, we feel that _ kick-off. we have discussed taking the knee, we feel that we - kick-off. we have discussed taking the knee, we feel that we should. | kick-off. we have discussed taking l the knee, we feel that we should. it is what _ the knee, we feel that we should. it is what we _ the knee, we feel that we should. it is what we stand for as a team and have _ is what we stand for as a team and have done — is what we stand for as a team and have done for a long period of time. of course. _ have done for a long period of time. of course, we understand the premier league. _ of course, we understand the premier league. that _ of course, we understand the premier league, that the clubs have decided to only— league, that the clubs have decided to only do _ league, that the clubs have decided to only do that for certain games, occasions — to only do that for certain games, occasions. we feel that this is the biggest _ occasions. we feel that this is the biggest and we think it is a strong statement that will go around the world _ statement that will go around the world for— statement that will go around the world for young people in particular, to see, that inclusivity is very— particular, to see, that inclusivity is very important.— particular, to see, that inclusivity is very important. england will go and strong _ is very important. england will go and strong but — is very important. england will go and strong but have _ is very important. england will go and strong but have not - is very important. england will go

football, it has been a good period, for us over the last four years. and it is another opportunity to take another step forward and i am looking forward to starting. the current world player of the year is the latest french star to be ruled of the world cup. karim benzema suffered a thigh injury in training and will miss the tournament. he won the 2022 balon d'0r after a great year for real madrid, but he follows paul pogba, n'golo kante, christopher nkunku and presnel kimpembe, in being ruled out for the defending champions. it's been the perfect return for chelsea manager emma hayes she was on the touchline following an emergency hysterectomy to watch her team go three points clear at the top of wsl. they beat spurs 3—0 at stamford bridge. erin cuthbert with the pick of the goals while sam kerr and guro reiten were also on the scoresheet. three other games today... rachel daly scored a hatrick in aston villa's 31 win over reading. liverpool got an equaliser in injury time to draw 3 3 at

brighton and end a six game losing streak. west ham also scroed late to beat leicester... who remain bottom and without a point. next to a fitting way for the formula one season to finish. max verstappen won again... the world champion extending his record for grand prix victories in a season by cruising home in abu dhabi. with the dutchman so dominant... today's race focused on the battle to finish behind him. here's nick parrott. the end of formula 1's longest season and failed to offer a change to the story as has happened so often, max verstappen got away from it so quickly he was never challenged. lewis hamilton's mercedes has been damage so bad he said he could not wait to drive a last time this year. that tempted fate as a breakdown with three laps ago the first season that he has failed to win a grand prix.

disappointment too for sebastian, a fitting to buy to a four—time champion. a season they got things right but stopping him from the second time was a mistake. it left him 23 per second behind leclerc with 2a laps to a gap that could not be breached. as verstappen was already celebrating the 50th win of the season. enough to secure him and ferrari drivers championships. rory mcilroy has finished as the leading golfer on the european tourfor a fourth time... securing the number one spot after his fourth place in the dp tour championship. the season ending tournament in dubai was won by spain'sjon rahm... who claimed a two shot victory after leading into the final round, but although mcilroy was four shots back... it was enough to finish above us open champion matt fitzpatrick in the money list. winning the so called race to dubai. mcilroy was the same overall winner in

the pga tour version. while he's also the current world number one. ding junhui is on course for a fourth title at the uk snooker championship. ing leads mark allen. something of a fight back from northern irish man he was a 4— to down —— 4—0 down suggesting that he might make it ten frames to win the title. that is all the time we have on sports day. on opening day of a unique world cup. thank you for your company goodbye for now.

climate scientists have warned that change needs to come from the top, from governments and companies. but science and innovation will play an important part. yeah. so this week we're going to look at some of the latest green ideas. and first off, take a deep breath. takes deep breath. if you live in the green, it's easy to forget what life is like in the grey. the air literally can smell sweeter, and it's definitely cleaner. the world health organization says air pollution poses a major threat to health and climate, and it kills an estimated
