this is bbc news, i'mjoanna gosling. the headlines at 1pm: england have just kicked off their first game of the 2022 world cup against iran, as wales gears up to face the us at 7pm in qatar. the captains of england and wales won't now wear onelove armbands due to the threat of sanctions by the governing body, fifa. officials in indonesia say at least 56 people have died after a powerful earthquake shook the province of west java. uk prime minister rishi sunak has ruled out any post—brexit arrangements that would rely on the uk aligning with eu laws. the pm also said it is a priority to tackle illegal migration — saying it undermined trust in the system.

1:02 pm
of those teams and seven other european nations will not be waiting the onelove armbands in support of lgbtq because aviva says it goes against their rules. here is a lucy. —— fifa says it goes against the rules. welcome to doha, we have seen england's match against iran kicking off. if the atmosphere here in qatar does not feel entirely like a normal world cup, that is because it's not a normal world cup we have stop we have seen evidence at that at this particular match because there was a lot of talk from irani and fans about what the reaction would be from their players on the pitch at —— iranianfans. on from their players on the pitch at —— iranian fans. on the protests at home over the deaths of mahsa amini and the iranians players remain silent when the national anthem is played. the england players also taking the knee, which we were expecting, but that was something
1:03 pm
that was called for for many people for the iranian players not to sing the national anthem, that is what we have just seen happen. the national anthem, that is what we havejust seen happen. that the national anthem, that is what we have just seen happen. that match the national anthem, that is what we havejust seen happen. that match is under way. there are lots of other reasons why they keep on saying here in qatar, fifa and qatari officials, focus on the football, but it is the controversy still dominating, from alcohol bans to concerns about human rights to simply come i have to tell you, it is incredibly hot here still. this isjust a you, it is incredibly hot here still. this is just a very different kind of sports determined. one of the big developments we have seen here in the is what has happened with the armbands, of course, because there have been calls from many european teams, the captains of the england and wales teams as well to wear a one love armband to celebrate diversity and they had decided not to do that now, which is
1:04 pm
proving incredibly controversial. i'm just getting is now that there are some empty seats inside the khalifa stadium right now in that match being played between england and iran because of a ticketing problem. we are hearing that so we will have to keep an eye on what is happening there at the stadium as well there is huge interest in the football and this match that has kicked off. let's take you straight to a fans own. we canjoin dan johnson at a fans zone in manchester. what is the atmosphere like there? ok... we have a problem getting through to dan. probably lots of people on their phones recording using some of the internet signal. we hope to get back to him. i was speaking to him an hour ago, there was a real sense of excitement, but some criticism or concern to that the players were not being allowed to wear that one love armband. let's bring you the views
1:05 pm
of michael hershman, spoke to him as well. he is a former member of fifa's independent governance committee. i asked fifa's independent governance committee. iasked him if he fifa's independent governance committee. i asked him if he could assure people that corruption in the game had been stamped out. i can never assure _ game had been stamped out. i can never assure people _ game had been stamped out. i can never assure people that _ game had been stamped out. i can never assure people that there is a zero corruption within qatar, within fifa or within the world, but what i can assure people as there has been a lot of progress made by fifa, qatar and we are here to see some really lively sports, some terrific players, and i think we should downplay the controversies and focus on having fun. there are too many controversies in the world today, too much world conflict, global warming, the fans are here, then amongst the fans, to have a good time. ., amongst the fans, to have a good time. . ., , , .,, ., time. there are many people, though, who say this — time. there are many people, though, who say this would _ time. there are many people, though, who say this would be _ time. there are many people, though, who say this would be the _ time. there are many people, though, who say this would be the perfect - who say this would be the perfect opportunity to shine a light on many important issues facing the world, migrant workers' right here in qatar, human rights in qatar, lgbt+.
1:06 pm
you mention global warming, this is not exactly carbon neutral event which they promise us. it would be irresponsible to not look at those events when we are talking about it. it would be irresponsible not to look at the progress that has come because the light of the world has been shined upon these games. the progress that qatar has made in terms of migrant workers and improving their lifestyle, their environment. women's rights here. and i can assure you... but that is so much more that could be done and it is concerned that once the spotlight comes of qatar. things will not continue _ spotlight comes of qatar. things will not continue to _ spotlight comes of qatar. things will not continue to progress. . spotlight comes of qatar. things | will not continue to progress. we can onl will not continue to progress. - can only hope and pray that sustainability will be the word for this set of games and for qatar going forward. but look, the problems we are dealing with, there is no perfect host country to have these games in. the next set of games will be in the united states, mexico, canada. should we be forking
1:07 pm
on immigration issues in the united states? cartel issues in canada —— focusing on. states? cartel issues in canada -- focusing om— states? cartel issues in canada -- focusing on-_ states? cartel issues in canada -- focusing on. yes. i stood in moscow and talked about _ focusing on. yes. i stood in moscow and talked about what _ focusing on. yes. i stood in moscow and talked about what is _ focusing on. yes. i stood in moscow and talked about what is happening| and talked about what is happening in russia at the time. looking ahead, we have seen china, russia, qatar, autocratic regimes have money, frankly, hosting these big events. if that part of the issue that this is really expensive hosting a big event like that and thatis hosting a big event like that and that is why it is going to those countries?— that is why it is going to those countries? ., ., , ., ., ., countries? how does that calculation chan . e? countries? how does that calculation chance? it countries? how does that calculation change? it is — countries? how does that calculation change? it is expensive _ countries? how does that calculation change? it is expensive to _ countries? how does that calculation change? it is expensive to hold - countries? how does that calculation change? it is expensive to hold any i change? it is expensive to hold any large sporting event whether it be they world cup or the super bowl or they world cup or the super bowl or the gold cup for the world series. it is not an inexpensive event and furthermore you have to have the infrastructure and countries. unfortunately, some of the poor countries cannot afford the infrastructure to hold a game like this. ~ _, . ., , infrastructure to hold a game like this. ~ . ., , ., this. well, we connection they now no live to this. well, we connection they now go live to manchester _ this. well, we connection they now go live to manchester because - this. well, we connection they now go live to manchester because dan| go live to manchester because dan johnson as they now go live to manchester because danjohnson is
1:08 pm
there at a fan zone for england supporters. incredibly noisy and very busy there, i'm sure, dan. tell us what the atmosphere is like is the game kicks off.— the game kicks off. yes, it has really failed _ the game kicks off. yes, it has really failed to _ the game kicks off. yes, it has really failed to appear - the game kicks off. yes, it has really failed to appear in - the game kicks off. yes, it has really failed to appear in this l really failed to appear in this warehouse in manchester which has been converted into a fun park. it can hold six or 7000. they were not expecting that many here today because it is a monday, the middle of the day, but there is a sense this world cup has taken a fair while to warm up, the excitement has been tempered by some of the controversy, some of the politics, some of the questions about when it is happening, where it is happening and how qatar earned this world cup. and certainly the people have gathered here, and a lot more arrived just before kick—off, they are keen now to get on with the football, to see some action, support of the england team, and they are hopeful. there is a lot of optimism here that england can overcome iran and succeed in their group and further through the tournament as well. no doubt, people here are aware of the bigger context to this, the politics to it. i was
1:09 pm
talking to a couple who had a rainbow face paints on their face today. they said they were doing that in solidarity of their lgbtq+ friends, they wanted to reflect that. they did not want to boycott the whole tournament, stay away and not support their team, but they wanted to make some sort of political statement. even the organisers here say they have not so the capacity of tickets today, they understand the build—up to this world cup has been a little bit steady. they think it will take time for people to get into it. we hope is now the football has actually kicked off, excitement will build and for the friday night game, england against the usa, they are expecting to be full to capacity here. people were expressing disappointment early on about the armband, the fact the england captain has not been allowed to wear that armband has upset some people here. but now i think at least for the next 90 minutes, four people here at least, it is about the football, although we should remember lots of people will be
1:10 pm
watching elsewhere. the question may well be, what was that favourite des lynam got? should you be at work? may be for some people to date should be, shouldn't you be working from home?— from home? sure a lot of people takin: a from home? sure a lot of people taking a long _ from home? sure a lot of people taking a long lunch _ from home? sure a lot of people taking a long lunch break- from home? sure a lot of people taking a long lunch break today. | from home? sure a lot of people i taking a long lunch break today. i'm sure that's happening right across england at the moment. we will be back with you throughout the match. this let's talk about the iranian team now, the captain, ehsan hajsafi, has spoken up to express concern about the violence and oppression protest in his home country. the players just oppression protest in his home country. the playersjust a oppression protest in his home country. the players just a few moments ago did not sing the national anthem at the beginning of the match. here he is on sunday, the day before this match, speaking out about it. translation:— about it. translation: before an hinu about it. translation: before anything added. _ about it. translation: before anything added, i _ about it. translation: before anything added, i would - about it. translation: before anything added, i would like i about it. translation: before anything added, i would like to| anything added, i would like to express my condolences to all bereaved families in iran. they should know that we are with them. we have to accept that the
1:11 pm
conditions in our country are not right. our people are not happy. we are here, but it does not mean we should not be their voice or we must not respect them. whatever we have is for them and we must fight, we must perform the best we can and to score goals and present that they believe people of iran with results. i hope conditions change to accept the expectations of the people. let's take your life to washington now. i'mjoined by let's take your life to washington now. i'm joined by the sister of the former iran team captain. she has spent years campaigning for women in iran to be allowed entry into football matches, amongst —— amongst many other things. i wonder how you're feeling now the match has actually kicked off and whether you feel it was appropriate that any players in the iran national team
1:12 pm
did not sing the national anthem? hello, thank you for having me i believe that is a good thing that they did not sing. but it is a very simple gesture. for all the protest letter going on inside iran, the iranian are expecting more of them. —— iranian people. what would you like the players to do, marion? again, not sing the national anthem is a very simple gesture. we need them to show further actions. you know, the people, hundreds of people have been killed during the past two months, many of them children. they have the world stage, they should
1:13 pm
amplify the iranian, that iranians are suffering inside. they should use their voices. they have celebrity, their celebrity protects them. they have immunity, so it is not like if they are talking, somebody is going to arrest them, they will go back —— when they're going back to iran. so we need to see further action from them. um? going back to iran. so we need to see further action from them. why do ou believe see further action from them. why do you believe that _ see further action from them. why do you believe that is _ see further action from them. why do you believe that is their _ you believe that is their responsibility when they are football players, not politicians. they are any country to represent their country, their families, they are any country to represent their country, theirfamilies, their their country, their families, their friends, their country, theirfamilies, their friends, perhaps, and their team—mates, they're not here as politicians to political statements? yes, but their people, their fans are being killed on the streets of iran these days. and i think that is their social responsibility to
1:14 pm
support the people. you know, many people have been blinded during the past few weeks, so i think that is the least they could and should do for their people, theirfans. who supported them religiously. hour supported them religiously. how olarisin: supported them religiously. how poiarising is _ supported them religiously. how polarising is this _ supported them religiously. how polarising is this issue back in iran? it as a football mad country, people back in iran will be watching this match right now. how divided to people feel about it?— people feel about it? unfortunately, this is the first — people feel about it? unfortunately, this is the first time _ people feel about it? unfortunately, this is the first time that _ people feel about it? unfortunately, this is the first time that people - this is the first time that people are not following as they did few decades. this is the first time there is a division between people to follow and to boycott the team. but again, because before they went to qatar, they went and met the president, they were friendly, so that made ukrainian people very
1:15 pm
angry and, surprisingly, —— that made iranian people very angry. cat are our neighbours, and many people could afford to go and support them -- qatar at could afford to go and support them -- qatarat our could afford to go and support them -- qatar at our neighbours, but you do not see many iranians in the stadiums. do not see many iranians in the stadiums-— do not see many iranians in the stadiums. ., ,, , ., , . ., stadiums. thank you very much for “oinint us stadiums. thank you very much for joining us in _ stadiums. thank you very much for joining us in washington. - stadiums. thank you very much for joining us in washington. we - stadiums. thank you very much for joining us in washington. we have| joining us in washington. we have seen some iranian fans here, but they have been showing signs, protesting what is happening home, and they have been singing the song of the resistance is welcome expressing their opposition to what is happening back home in iran. the very latest wear hearing from that announcement by fifa that team are waiting armband could face a sporting sanctions, including the possibility of some players, some captains getting an instant yellow card. we havejust had a
1:16 pm
captains getting an instant yellow card. we have just had a statement from downing street, the prime minister's spokesperson saying we share the fa's frustration, putting the players in a very difficult position. it is ultimately a decision for fifa. on lgbt rights more broadly, clearly cat a's policies are not those of the uk government are not ones we would endorse —— clearly qatar's policies are not those of the uk government. controversy of the decision made by fifa. they were allowed to take the knee before this match got under way. no goals scored at the moment england verse iran, we will keep a close eye on that and all of the other developments in doha. a very good afternoon, i am jane hill, we will take a look at many of today's main stories. we will stay for a momentjust with that issue that lucy was touching on there in
1:17 pm
qatar. she was mentioning the england, wales and other european footballers who wanted to wear those one of our bands at their matches. but are not going to be doing so. because of the threat that the players would be booked for doing that. wejust players would be booked for doing that. we just had an update on that just a little while before lucy was talking there, and we had an update from arc sports correspondent natalie perks in qatar. it they wrote for permission to fifa and the said they're going to go ahead to wear it. it has become of an act that fifa would impose
1:18 pm
sanctions on any who bought it, for any beach of cat regulation of any joint station, the nation is all said, we cannot put our players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play. it has left the nation is all said, we cannot put our players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play. it has left the nations are frustrated, disappointed, and they say they will now show their support in other ways. as you can imagine, fan groups have responded angrily. he football reporters association said it felt betrayed by fifa and it was a yellow card to players, but a red card to tolerance. naturally pirks they are at a very nice football stadium. she is there in qatar itself. —— natalie pirks. we spoke earlier to rob sanderson from pride in football, a network of lgbt+ fan groups who work to eliminate homophobia from football. he spoke to my colleaguejoanna gosling a little earlier. for us, this is a really, really disappointing thing to see. today we've seen fifa stand up and say that the fundamental human rights of freedom of speech
1:19 pm
and freedom of expression are something that players and football associations playing in this world cup don't deserve to have. and it's yet another example of their hypocrisy and turning a blind eye to the blatant breaches of human rights that exist in the middle east at the moment. i mean, what they're saying is it's about enforcing their rules. but that's the thing, it's about enforcing their rules to replace one token gesture with another. it's not removing a political symbol from the game. it's silencing those who are choosing to speak out against the breaches against migrant workers, against women, against lg bt+ people. it's unacceptable behaviour and it can't be allowed to continue. do you think... i mean, they could have gone against it if they'd have wanted to. do you think they should have done? i mean, a part of me would like to think that they still may well have something planned or,
1:20 pm
you know, some other gesture instead that at least shows that their support is still there, because at the end of the day, this isn't a decision that's been taken by the european football associations or the captains, this is a decision that's been taken by fifa because it suits them. how important to you and others is it that this support is shown? so for myself, especially, and for other lgbtq+ fans who have not been able to travel out to the tournament, it's incredibly important that our teams and our nations stand up and show solidarity with us and make sure that our voices are heard on a platform that we've not been able to access. i mean, you said it's a token gesture to wear the armbands, but clearly it has a huge amount of symbolism. yeah. at the end of the day, it's not a political symbol. it's a token to show that the various forms of discrimination that exist
1:21 pm
within football are something that the european nations don't agree with and want to see the back of. it's not a rainbow armband, it's not a political symbol, it's not what we saw at the euros last summer. it's simply standing up for basic human rights. rob sanderson they're from the organisation pride in football. . we will be keeping an eye on that situation in qatar and the footballing use of the course of the afternoon. now at the time, 21 minutes passed. let's turn to some of the day's other main stories. at least 50 people have been killed in a powerful earthquake in indonesia, which has shaken the province of west java. a government official in cianjur, the epicentre of the quake, told local tv that up to 20 people had died atjust one hospital in the area. he said hundreds were being treated for injuries, many with fractures
1:22 pm
from damaged buildings. the 5.6 magnitude quake was felt 100 kilometres away in the capital, jakarta, where offices were evacuated in the central business district. valdya baraputri is from the bbc�*s indonesian service. she spoke tojoanna gosling earlierfrom jakarta. from the last statement from the local government of cianjur district in west java province, he told the media that 46 people have died and hundreds of others are injured and some of them being taken to hospital and most of them are suffering from serious injuries. he pleads for doctors and medical help for the local hospitals and he also said to the media that they are trying to evacuate people who are isolated after the earthquake
1:23 pm
because the earthquake triggered a landslide in the local area in cianjur district in west java province. i can tell you when the earthquake happened, iam injakarta, it is 100 kilometres away from the epicentre of the earthquake. i am injakarta, the capital city of indonesia, where i am based with the bbc, and when it happened i was working from home on the 31st floor and, as you know, the taller your location, the stronger the tremor. indonesia is prone to earthquakes, there are dozens of earthquakes every year in indonesia, but the tremor of this earthquake is the most intense i have experienced in a long time. the earthquake is 5.6 on the richter scale of magnitude.
1:24 pm
it also forced people out of tall buildings, of government and business buildings in the area here injakarta, including people who are working in bbc indonesia's office. the tremor lasted for more than a minute, but people stayed out for longer in case of another wave of earthquake. as i said, the location, or the epicentre, of the earthquake is more than 100 kilometres from the capital in the cianjur district in west java province, however it sent an intense tremor because the epicentre, or the location, of the earthquake or the location of the earthquake was centred on land. so on land, earthquakes don't send tsunamis, but it rattles the area stronger than earthquakes that are centred in the sea.
1:25 pm
valdya baraputri valdya ba raputri there valdya baraputri there from the bbc indonesian service. nhs leaders in scotland have discussed a radical plan that would make wealthy people pay for health service treatment. it would mean abandoning the founding principles of the nhs that make it free at the point of delivery. here's our scotland editor james cook in glasgow. this is a minute of a meeting held by nhs chief executives in september. in it they appear to have discussed all sorts of ideas for the reform of the nhs. most controversially, of course, that suggestion that there could be a two—tier service, where those who can afford to go private. but also plenty of other ideas apparently on the table, including cutting the funding of new drugs, perhaps restricting the access to free prescriptions, which are state—funded in scotland, and also discharging patients from hospital earlier is one possibility, even if that leads to increased risk. the most controversial of these suggestions has been immediately knocked down by the scottish
1:26 pm
government. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, telling us a short time ago that the founding principles of the nhs are not up for discussion. indeed, the prime minister echoing those points in his speech this morning as well. so what we have here is perhaps an indication from within the nhs that there is a very serious crisis and that something significant does need to change, even if the politicians say it won't be as significant as completely abandoning the founding principles of the nhs. our scotland editor james cook. just to our scotland editorjames cook. just to fly, we will be talking a lot more about that story after 2pm, so a lot of debate about that nhs tory in scotland. we will have more on that a little later. —— nhs story in scotland. an immigration hearing in london is considering whether a woman who joined islamic state militants in syria should have had her british citizenship removed.
1:27 pm
lawyers for shamima begum argue that she was a victim of trafficking when she travelled to syria aged 15. she remains in a camp in northern syria, nearly eight years after running away from home in london. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has been following the hearing and hejoins me now. just remind people, to some years since shamima begum had her citizenship removed. she since shamima begum had her citizenship removed.— since shamima begum had her citizenship removed. she fled the uk in february 2015 _ citizenship removed. she fled the uk in february 2015 with _ citizenship removed. she fled the uk in february 2015 with two _ citizenship removed. she fled the uk in february 2015 with two school- in february 2015 with two school friends. she was only 15 years old at the time and went off to join the islamic state group, which was then in its pomp in syria, and she essentially went there to go and marry one of the foreign fighters involved in the fighting for the islamic state group in syria. she re—emerged in a camp in northern syria in february 2019 when she was about 19 after islamic state had effectively collapsed. two of her children had died, she was heavily
1:28 pm
pregnant with her third child, and that child then died shortly after he was born. it was at that time she was discovered by times journalist and interviewed by several journalists and soon afterwards, sajid javid, the then home secretary, took her british citizenship away. our lawyers are arguing here today at the immigration appeals that she was a child victim of trafficking and that evidence is overwhelming and at that depriving her of her british citizenship was a disproportionate means of addressing any national security risk. they said, at its heart, this case concerns a british child age 15 who was persuaded with her friends by the child age 15 who was persuaded with herfriends by the isis propaganda machine. her lawyers are arguing she had been persuaded to go there to be
1:29 pm
married of aged just 15 foreign fighter, but the home office insists its decision to revoke her revoke her of her british ledson ship was correct and that when she did turn up correct and that when she did turn up in that camp in february 2019, she had only left the is territory is not because any genuine disengagement from the group, but because she was fearing for her life. she had then given a number of press interviews in which she expressed no remorse. they said the mis expressed no remorse. they said the m15 assessment is anybody who went to join the islamic state group at that time presents a continuing risk. on that ground, she say she should continue to not have a british citizenship and should remain out of the country. ihtiiii remain out of the country. all ritht, remain out of the country. all right, daniel, for now. daniel sanford following at that hearing for as they are in central london. much more to come the next half—hour, but we will pause and take a look at the weather prospects whenever you are the country. ben rich has there was this

in to fill skills shortages and reduce frictions between the uk and eu created by brexit, but the pm insists he won't do anything that would reduce the eu's sovereignty and his main focus is tackling those coming to the uk illegally. our political correspondent alex forsyth is at the cbi conference in birmingham. so, how has gone down, what the prime minister said? this so, how has gone down, what the prime minister said?— prime minister said? this is the retular prime minister said? this is the regular gathering _ prime minister said? this is the regular gathering of _ prime minister said? this is the regular gathering of business i regular gathering of business leaders that happens every year. this is a particularly significant time for them to meet. the chancellor only last week painted a pretty bleak economic picture about what is facing the country. the overriding question is how do businesses grow given the state of the economy where the uk is facing recession, when inflation is going up, interest rates are going up, the public finances are very stretched. the pulse of the cbi, the
1:37 pm
director—general, said the government has a role to play and he says it needs to involve things like planning rules about the regulatory environment that businesses work in and, crucially, emigration. in his view, the uk should be a lot more people to come from overseas to plug the skills gap in the labour markets. at the moment many businesses are struggling to recruit enough staff, so his argument is that immigration is the answer to that. the prime minister was asked about that. he didn't directly address the points about weather it was to relax immigration rules to allow more people to come if there are shortages in expectations. he said his focus was on tackling illegal immigration. it is right to ensure that the

will not have a relationship that relies on alignment with eu laws. that is a message to brexit supporting members of his own party. there are still concerns about the trading relationship. the cbi boss says the government has to resolve issues around the existing brexit deal, the one assigned under boris johnson, protect —— particularly relating to the northern irish protocol. thank you. every year 200,000 babies are born with club foot, which means they have twisted feet. early diagnosis and treatment yields the best results, but in developing countries, lack of access to treatment leaves many people unable to walk without pain. in senegal, where only 20% of cases get treated, experts have been perfecting a noninvasive technique that works on older children too.
1:40 pm
here's our global health correspondent naomi grimley. at 14, sirinya relies on his mother to take him to clinic, but she'll do whatever it takes for a son who was born with both at 14, sirinya relies on his mother to take him to clinic, but she'll do whatever it takes for a son who was born with both feet twisted iwards. he has club foot, a congenital condition affecting one in 800. this is how he used to walk. he's always dreamed of being a footballer. at 14, sirinya relies on his mother to take him to clinic, translation: some people said that he wouldn't walk, _ that he was incurable. in school, kids teased him about his feet. one time he refused to go to class for three days. it caused me real heartache. senegalese medics are among those leading the way in treating older children using this so—called ponseti method. before a child who had already learned to walk on a twisted foot might have been told surgery
1:41 pm
was the only option, whereas this is mostly non—invasive. in another clinic outside the capital they're identifying cases as early as possible. the medical team rely on word of mouth to get parents to bring their babies in. translation: this child is only 13 days old. - this is her second cast, so this means she has received treatment from the start of her life. it makes healing easier and the feet are very flexible when they are young. the thing about club foot treatment is it's super cheap and actually very easy, it doesn't even need highly—trained doctors, physiotherapists can do it too. a week later, sirinya is back at the clinic to have the 20th pair of casts taken off. a minor operation was also required to release the achilles tendon now each foot is in position.
1:42 pm
he will need physiotherapy to learn to walk again, but look at the progress on his feet. that dream of playing football is coming within reach. it's now time for the stories making the headlines in newsrooms across the uk. women in leicester are being trained to protect their children from being radicalised by violent extremists. they've heard a heartbreaking account from one muslim mother whose teenage son was killed in syria. rasheed benyahia was groomed into travelling to fight for the so—called islamic state. our social affairs correspondent, jeremy ball, has this report. rasheed was a happy, sporty, teenager with a bright
1:43 pm
future ahead of him. so how was he persuaded to put his life on the line for a brutal terrorist group? they will demonise the family... a question his mum came to answer here in highfields. to groom him online, sending videos and messages pushing conspiracy theories. you just never came back that night. rasheed never told his family he was planning tojoin is and they put his changing behaviour down to teenage mood swings. he started to change his clothing, he started to go quieter but he also sometimes when the news was on and something was going on about for example syria he suddenly would become energised and that was strange because this boy was never interested in politics. seven years on, nicola is training others to act on the signs she noticed. that is why she was invited to this anti—extremism workshop at the shama women centre. a previous session persuaded one moment ask for help on what is known
1:44 pm
as the prevent programme. first, it is making sure that the mother who is a key person in any child's life is aware of the signs and it will save lives looks if you save one individual from becoming radicalised you properly saved a potential catastrophe. women are asked to spot the signs of children being manipulated by violent extremists so they can ask for help to change them before they are in too deep. i felt that this extremist group would lift, rip mice my life away from me and the advice i would give going back is don't dismiss your gut feeling because ijust thought it would go away and it doesn't. several drivers have been issued with tickets following a police operation along the m5 using an unmarked lorry from national highways to spot driving offences.

gabrielle, i can say this for everyone in the school that most parents are always complaining about the bills getting higher and their pay and their wages not getting higher. loads of people can relate - to the song because there's loads of people who have who are not spending enough time - with their parents because they're working multiple jobs— just to live. not all the workers get paid enough money to feed their children and pay the bills and the rent. so that song gives a powerful meaning and speaks out for those people. a song sung with passion by pupils here at st anthony's catholic primary in newham. released along with a specially produced music video. more than a third of these children's parents now work more than one job to keep up with the bills. it is important for us to push for an appropriate living wage. the thing is, everyone is called now to tighten their belts and save pennies.
1:50 pm
how can we save pennies when there is no penny to be saved? # i look to the sky #. the london living wage is a voluntary pay rate calculated on the cost of living. £2.50 higher than the government's legally required national living wage. parent who is working multiple jobs does not have time to spend quality time in the evenings with their children. as a matter of fact, many times they are passing like ships in the night, you know, with their children at home, because as the children are coming in, they're going out to work another job, another job. and this is just purely to make ends meet. a school at the heart of the real living wage campaign in a borough at the sharp end of the cost of living crisis. luke hanrahan, bbc london.

scientists have discovered the ferocity of a huge explosion in tonga in january. a monstrous eruption which has left its mark on our planet. when hunga tonga—hunga ha'apai blew its top injanuary, it scattered water vapour and ash halfway to space and sent tsunami waves swelling out across the world. a new survey offers a fresh picture of the scale of what happened. scientists have fully mapped the area around the volcano, showing just how badly the sea floor has been sculpted and scarred. we didn't map enough. this volcano even exceeded our
1:52 pm
maximum expectations about how far the effects of this eruption was on the sea floor, it really was an absolutely outstanding event. the eruption produced one of the biggest atmospheric explosions in history. and the impression left on the seafloor gives a sense of its violent energy. scientists calculate that some ten cubic kilometres of material has been displaced, equivalent to the volume of 4,000 egyptian pyramids. two thirds of that was the ash and rocks ejected out through the volcano's opening but the other third was material scraped off the sides of the volcano as debris fell back out of the sky and tumbled across the bottom of the ocean. the plume itself rose 53 kilometres into the atmosphere. i mean, this was truly the most dramatic event in volcanic history since possibly krakatoa in 1883. this eruption was

down the heat as europe tries to conserve energy without naming the magic of christmas. now it's time for a look at the weather. good afternoon. it's turned into a wet and rather blustery day for many parts of the uk, but earlier on this morning it was a really chilly start, minus 5.5 celsius in the highlands, the coldest morning of the autumn so far. but what we have now is this area of low pressure bringing this frontal system northwards and eastwards, and in association with this, some fairly strong winds through the afternoon, particularly across southern parts of england. our band of rain continuing to track its way northwards and eastwards across england, wales. northern ireland looking especially wet. the rain quite persistent here. scotland seeing clear spells and a few showers. after such a cold start, temperatures at the very best up to five or six degrees, further south and west, highs of ten or 11.
1:56 pm
and then as we go into the night, well, we've got this low pressure centre here taking rain a little further northwards, but that rain will stall and tend to peter out. as this area of low pressure swings in from the south—west, we'll see the isobars squeezing together. there's going to be a swathe of strong winds, could be gales for a time around some exposed coasts in the south—west of england and the channel islands. this area of rain starting to fringe into the eastern side of scotland. one or two places will see a frost. you can see the blue pockets here on the map, but it's not going to be quite as cold as it was last night. it could be quite a murky start for some central parts of england and east wales. some of the areas of cloud and murk will tend to clear to give some sunny spells. this area of rain drifting across northern and eastern parts of scotland. some showers into wales, the south—west of england, quite windy for the channel islands, but broadly speaking, a drier, brighter and slightly calmer day tomorrow. temperatures at best 7 to 11 degrees. but that is only a brief, calmer interlude because there's another area of low pressure swinging in from the
1:57 pm
west on wednesday. some outbreaks of quite heavy rain driving north—eastwards once again. there will be some quite brisk winds around, particularly down towards the south—west of england and wales, where we will see a real rash of heavy and potentially thundery showers. some spells of sunshine as well. cold enough for a little bit of wintriness mixing in over the highest ground in scotland. temperatures between nine and 12 celsius north to south across the uk. for the end of the week, though, those temperatures actually lifting a little. it will be a little milder. we will see rain at times, but some drier interludes as well.
