they are now 3—0 against iran. these goals scored by raheem sterling and bukayo saka and jude bellingham. lucy hockings is in doha. welcome to zohar, where england's match against iran is halfway, it is half—time now, a match that has always promised to be controversial and sure enough it has been, england's world cup match against qatar death in qatar having plenty of controversial talk —— match in qatar. they decided they would not wear diversity onelove armbands and thatis wear diversity onelove armbands and that is because the threat of action from the referee, a possible yellow card for the captains and then when the players reached the pitch many of the iranian team refused to sing their country's national anthem, the

country having already spoken out against the government into iran and the process back on his home country. let's have a listen to these protesters, we can call them at the stadium as well, but they were protesting but what is happening back home, many of them singing the song resistance you can hear now to remind you of the process of the death of 22—year—old mahsa amini continuing in cities right across the country at the moment, so lots of signs and people holding up banners, small banners and things, talking about those protests. then we only had a few hours to go before today's match. we had this confirmation that captains of several national sides would not wear the onelove armbands, they promote diversity and inclusion, particularly they are a symbol for the lgbtq+ community. they feared wearing the armbands could face

sporting problems, including a yellow card. from england, wales, belgium, denmark, germany, the netherlands and also switzerland, they said they were very frustrated by this fifa decision and that players and coaches will continue to show support in other ways. downing street as well issued a statement saying fifa's actions over the armband were frustrating. the prime minister's official spokesperson saying, we share the fa's frustration with fifa's decision on this. it would see players in a very difficult place. it is ultimately, though, a decision for the football association. a short time ago i spoke to marianne, who is the sister of the former are run national team captain. i asked of the former are run national team captain. iasked her what of the former are run national team captain. i asked her what she would like the players to do, the iranian players to do, wanted to show solidarity with those protesting in

iran. again, not singing the national anthem is a very simple gesture, we need them to show vulgar actions. these are... the people, hundreds of people have been killed during the past two months, many of them children. and they have the world stage. they should amplify the iranian, the iranians are suffering inside, they should amplify their voices. they should have celebrity, their celebrity protects them, they have immunity, so it is not like if they are talking, somebody is going to arrest them, when they are going back to iran. so... we need to see vulgar action from them. so back to iran. 50. .. we need to see vulgar action from them.— back to iran. 50. .. we need to see vulgar action from them. so that is some reaction _

international. very good to have you with us, i'm not sure if you could hear that interview that our correspondence danjohnson was conducting in manchester where he was talking to fans to remind if you are not watching, england are 3—0 up at half—time against iran and when he asked them about the various controversies here in qatar they only wanted to talk about the football. agnes, that is what the qatari officials and football officials have wanted, they have wanted people to stop looking at the various issues that have been confronting qatar, particularly over the past few days and the criticism, and to focus only on the football and to focus only on the football and have some fun. what did you say to that? i and have some fun. what did you say to that? ., ., ., to that? i want to tell them to think about — to that? i want to tell them to think about the _ to that? i want to tell them to think about the iranian - to that? i want to tell them to think about the iranian team, | to that? i want to tell them to i think about the iranian team, not just as the adversaries of a football game, but as younger men who have taken an incredible risk today. they have taken an incredible risk by refusing to sing the anthem. i want them, the fans, to think about them because when they are

going to go back to around, they could get arrested, they could get tortured. they could get sentenced tortured. they could get sentenced to death, as many protesters have been. 58 children in iran have died. that cannot be evacuated from the stadium. it is not a right to free zone. we need to understand that football can be a fantastic vehicle for people to come together, but that can only be done if we understand, if we own the human rights of everybody, including our pool rights of everybody, including our pool, including the migrant workers, including the athletes in iran, so i am begging the fans to please think of the risk they have taken, so that they could offer you that game. they offered use that game and they took a fantastic risk. please, think of if: they they have done today.

the have done toda. ., the migrant j the migrant workers and when mention the migrant workers and when it comes to them, qatar says that huge progress has been made, there have been reforms put huge progress has been made, there have been reforms offt the spotlight goes off qatar, when is over, the spotlight goes off qatar, when may is over, and reforms may not continue? and what else would to �*rights? a ri . hts? look, eg’ ' rights? look, - very é ie —— —— ——~.:.—,—.—: ——— the ,,. —— ~ — ,,. the measures we also implemented and how they are being implemented and are monitoring shown that they are monitoring has shown that they are monitoring has shown that they are not properly intimated. we have investigated as early as —— properly implemented. we have investigated as early as this summer and those measures were largely not implemented, as of now, so when the spotlight leaves that makes us

extremely worried. we understand that the ilo is going to open an office in qatar and that is a good step, but that will not be sufficient. that will not be sufficient. that will not be sufficient to take care of the migrant workers who have lost their lives, who have been deeply wounded, who have been the victims of forced labourers. you know, we are talking about thousands of unexplained deaths of migrant workers and drugs, linked possibly to the heat and no investigation being carried out. so what is amnesty international asking for? reforms of the centre for the dr agnes callamard that their own two teams of migrants. because we are having these games right now because of the blood of those migrants, so let's not forget the team that has allowed for the game to come forward and to be played. that front that we are requesting is

really the minimum and must be implemented. it is notjust qatar's it is fifa's responsibility. it is fifa's responsibility. it is fifa's responsibility. it is who have responsibility. it is fifa's responsib the it is who have responsibility. it is fifa's responsib the game who have responsibility. it is fifa's responsib the game to who have responsibility. it is fifa's responsib the game to qatar. 1ave responsibility. it is fifa's responsib the game to qatar. they human are human rights obligations. 0k, can i are human rights obligations. 0k, - can i _ back - agnes, can i also reflect back to you some of what i'm hearing here in qatar? what people are feeling here, which is that there is a level of hypocrisy from western countries and from organisations like amnesty international when it comes to lgbtq+ issues, when it comes to women's rights, for instance. they say, you know, they are being unfairly scrutinised and i wonder how an organisation like amnesty international balances something like the demands for change culturally, when it comes to some of the norms that exist, particularly in muslim and arab countries? you know... in muslim and arab countries? you know- -- first _ in muslim and arab countries? you know... first of _ in muslim and arab countries? you know... first of all, _ in muslim and arab countries? ym. know... first of all, the focus here is on migrant workers. there is

nothing cultural about treating people according to the ilo standard of being able to work. there is nothing... of being able to work. there is nothing- - -_ of being able to work. there is nothing- - -— of being able to work. there is nothina... �* ., �*, ,., nothing... but women's rights and lgbtq+ rights? _ nothing... but women's rights and lgbtq+ rights? when _ nothing. .. but women's rights and lgbtq+ rights? when it— nothing... but women's rights and lgbtq+ rights? when it comes i nothing... but women's rights and lgbtq+ rights? when it comes to| lgbtq+ rights? when it comes to women's rights and lgbtq+. the riahts women's rights and lgbtq+. the ri . hts of women's rights and lgbtq+, the; rights of lgbtq women's rights and lgbtq+. iie rights of lgbtq are women's rights and lgbtq+. tie rights of lgbtq are recognised under international law. it is shameful, frankly, that fifa should have prevented athletes from wearing that armband, which is an armband around non—discrimination and equality. there is nothing cultural about it and have you spoken to the lgbt people of qatar? have you spoken to those who are facing death penalties because they are engaged in a love and sexual relationship with a same—sex partner? this is what we are talking about. let's not, you know, you use the word culture, it

is not about cultural wars here. it is not about cultural wars here. it is about people dying. it is about lgbtq+ people facing death penalties. there is nothing cultural here. it is human rights, it is basic recognition of the right to life. dr basic recognition of the right to life. , ~ , ., ., ., , basic recognition of the right to life. ., ., , , life. dr agnes callamard, it is very aood to life. dr agnes callamard, it is very good to get _ life. dr agnes callamard, it is very good to get your _ life. dr agnes callamard, it is very good to get your thoughts. - life. dr agnes callamard, it is very good to get your thoughts. thank| life. dr agnes callamard, it is very i good to get your thoughts. thank you for taking the time to join us from mexico, the secretary general of amnesty international. a discussion thatis amnesty international. a discussion that is still very active here as of course qatar is the first arab country, the first country in the middle east to host a world cup and these are the kinds of discussions that are happening every day here. some of what people are telling us as well because it is notjust about the football. the controversies that are dogging the tournament continue to be part of the narrative here and part of the everyday discussion. back to you lucy hockings there, thank you very much, following all the events in qatar. we will have more than that over the course of the day, as you would expect, but right now we are going to take a

look at some of the other major stories making the news here this afternoon. let's start by hearing a little from the prime minister, rishi sunak because he has been talking... the prime minister, rishi sunak, has been speaking to business leaders at the cbi conference. they want a loosening of migration rules to bring more people in to the country 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. of political correspondence, alex forsyth, is at that cbi conference in birmingham. forsyth, is at that (b! conference in birmingham.— in birmingham. well, this is a re in birmingham. well, this is a pretty regular _ in birmingham. well, this is a pretty regular gathering - in birmingham. well, this is a pretty regular gathering of. in birmingham. well, this is a i pretty regular gathering of senior business leaders that gathers and happens every year, but this is a particularly significant time for them to meet because as we know, the chancellor only last week they did a pretty bleak economic picture about what is facing the country, so the overriding question people are talking about here is how can businesses grow, given the state of

the economy where the uk is facing recession, where inflation is going up, where interest rates are going up, where interest rates are going up, where interest rates are going up, where we are told the public finances are very stretched. how does that create conditions for businesses to grow? the boss of the cbi, tony danker, the director—general, says the government has a role to play in that and he says that it needs to involve things like planning rules about the regulatory environment businesses can work in and crucially he said immigration. in his view, the uk should be allowing more people to come from overseas to plug the skills gaps in the labour market. we know at the minute many businesses from all different sectors are struggling to recruit enough staff and so, tony danker�*s argument is that immigration is the answer to that. the panellist rishi sunak gave a speech here this morning and was asked about that. he didn't directly address the point about whether in his view it was right to relax immigration rules to allow more people to come where there are shortages in certain occupations. what he did says he thought the visa system should

attract the brightest and the best and his focus in his words was, on tackling what he called illegal immigration. this was the prime minister speaking a little earlier. it is right to ensure that the united _ it is right to ensure that the united kingdom is a beacon for the wodds— united kingdom is a beacon for the world's best and brightest from around — world's best and brightest from around the world. you heard me talk about _ around the world. you heard me talk about that _ around the world. you heard me talk about that in — around the world. you heard me talk about that in the speech, i want to make _ about that in the speech, i want to make sure — about that in the speech, i want to make sure we can win the global race for talent _ make sure we can win the global race for talent and i am unapologetic about— for talent and i am unapologetic about wanting to deliver an immigration system that is highly competitive for the best and brightest, and that is what we will deliver~ _ brightest, and that is what we will deliver. but i think the most pressing _ deliver. but i think the most pressing priority right now is tackling _ pressing priority right now is tackling illegal migration. the prime minister, _ tackling illegal migration. tie prime minister, rishi sunak. something else that is being discussed here as britain's post—brexit trading relationship with the eu, particularly in the current economic climate. there was speculation in one of the sunday papers, the sunday times, over the weekend, that the government might be considering a swiss style arrangement with the eu, which effectively would mean much closer ties. numberten effectively would mean much closer ties. number ten has said that is categorically untrue and rishi sunak

was pretty clear when his vision of the uk's relationship with the eu when this came up today as well. he said, under my leadership the uk will not pursue any arrangement that relies on an arrangement with eu laws. that is much as a method for some of the brexiteers in his own party who were concerned about talk about closer ties with the eu. here the message from the cbi is that there are still concerns about the trading relationship. the cbi boss, tony danker, said the government has to resolve issues around the existing brexit steel, the one that was assigned under borisjohnson, particularly relating to the northern ireland protocol, so the prime minister clear in his position, but still questions over the uk's trade policy and migration policy from business leaders here. our political correspondence, alex forsyth. let's turn to another major stories you might have read about a little bit today. 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 and in it they appear to have discussed all sorts of ideas for the reform of the nhs, most controversially, of course, that suggestion 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 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 has been immediately knocked down by the scottish government, the first minister, nicola sturgeon, telling us that the founding principles of the nhs are not up for discussion, and 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. that is our scotland editor, james cook. let's discuss this with the conservative msp and scottish shadow cabinet minister for health, doctor sun desh. thank you so much for your time this afternoon and clearly our viewers will realise from where you are talking to us, you are a gp yourself. thanks for talking to us. are you in the middle of the working day? i are you in the middle of the working da ? ., ., day? i am in the middle of the workin: day? i am in the middle of the working day. _ day? i am in the middle of the working day, but _ day? i am in the middle of the working day, but it _ day? i am in the middle of the working day, but it is - day? i am in the middle of the working day, but it is my i day? i am in the middle of the | working day, but it is my lunch break, so i am talking to you during that. �* , , ., break, so i am talking to you during that. �* , i. , break, so i am talking to you during that. , ., , that. and 'ust your broad forts, first of that. and just your broad forts, first of all. _ that. and just your broad forts, first of all, when _ that. and just your broad forts, first of all, when you _ that. and just your broad forts, first of all, when you heard i that. and just your broad forts, | first of all, when you heard this, when you read this online, what went

through your mind about the nature of what is being discussed there at that meeting back in september? i think it is really important for your viewers, those who are from scotland, to understand that the snp is completely in charge of health care, it is completely devolved here. sojust care, it is completely devolved here. so just the very notion that the nhs is not going to be free at the nhs is not going to be free at the point of need, it is staggering. i was deeply alarmed. i have spoken to other colleagues and they are also deeply alarmed. this is something that is being discussed at such a high level. and the minutes that the bbc have found, it said that the bbc have found, it said that there is a green light for the board to look at all possibilities and that everything is now a viable option, so that is something that must have come from central government and the reason that we are in this position is because humza yousaf, who is the health secretary here in scotland, who makes all the decisions, he has completely mismanaged the nhs and

we, the scottish conservatives, are calling for him to resign or be sacked to get somebody in who might be competent. but sacked to get somebody in who might be competent-— be competent. but this was clearly a discussion- — be competent. but this was clearly a discussion. that's _ be competent. but this was clearly a discussion. that's all _ be competent. but this was clearly a discussion. that's all it _ be competent. but this was clearly a discussion. that's all it was, - be competent. but this was clearly a discussion. that's all it was, it i discussion. that's all it was, it was a mature, adult discussion about the pressures facing the nhs, some people might say it is thinking outside the box, but it is throwing ideas up in the air saying, how can we make the whole service work better? there is no evidence that there is any action taken from this. this was a conversation. are you saying that no conversation can ever be had, that it is simply not up for negotiation?— be had, that it is simply not up for neuotiation? �* ., ,., negotiation? being free at the point of need is a — negotiation? being free at the point of need is a fundamental _ negotiation? being free at the point of need is a fundamental point i negotiation? being free at the point of need is a fundamental point of i of need is a fundamental point of the nhs. doctors, nurses, all front line staff, we are going to war to find and make sure we are able to keep that premise. it is absolutely fundamental. but we have to realise that here in scotland, in the minutes that you saw, it also, they also talked about how decisions are

being made without the chief medical officer, the chief nursing officer, discussions our silo wood, how the scottish government seems to be completely devolved from decision—making and so there is more and more here that we are getting concerned, but humza yousaf, the health secretary in scotland, simply isn't listening, he is not trusted by front line staff here in scotland, he is not trusted by patients and he has mismanaged the nhs and that is why these discussions are taking place, but for all your viewers you have to understand that in scotland we get £2000 per person more for our health care needs for our services here, so there is money around, but it is being mismanaged and squandered. i mean, it was a conservative chancellor, it was jeremy hunt to said only at the autumn statement that he wanted everybody to be thinking about how public services could run better and he specifically included the nhs in that list. i’m

included the nhs in that list. i'm so... included the nhs in that list. i'm so- -- sorry. _ included the nhs in that list. i'm so--- sorry. he _ included the nhs in that list. tit so... sorry, he is absolutely right because we do need to see how we can run things better. let me give you a couple of examples here in scotland of how we could run the whole service better and more efficiently. the first is eli; billion that the snp and humza yousaf, the health secretary, is spending on reorganising national health care service, which is essentially going to be setting up setting up this service, when actually we could be spending that money much more widely now. the other thing we can do and i have stood up and told humza yousaf about this in parliament, is we could get consultants to do actual work because right now consultants are having to reduce their hours because essentially they are having to pay to go to work when it comes to pay to go to work when it comes to their pensions and so, we can solve that problem and get consultants back working to hit the backlog. these are two suggestions that would instantly make a huge difference, so there is lots we can do here in scotland. if we had more

time, half an hour, do here in scotland. if we had more time, halfan hour, i do here in scotland. if we had more time, half an hour, i could run you through all the ideas that we have to help the whole service, but right now we have to be clear. the snp cannot be trusted on health, as you cannot be trusted on health, as you can see in these discussions. humza yousaf cannot be trusted, he has the nhs in scotland and that is why we are at this point and it is time he left hisjob. are at this point and it is time he left hisjob— left his job. 0k. just a final thou~ht left his job. 0k. just a final thought in _ left his job. 0k. just a final thought in terms _ left his job. 0k. just a final thought in terms of- left his job. 0k. just a final thought in terms of how i left his job. 0k. just a final| thought in terms of how the left his job. 0k. just a final i thought in terms of how the nhs operates, how it tries to provide for everyone, no matter their background, no matter their condition stop as a working gp, we all know about the pressure is generally that the system is under, i am talking about wherever you live across the uk, generally we know there is an ageing population, we know about the cost of drugs, we know about the cost of drugs, we know about the sheer number of people who are well enough to leave hospital, but they cannot be discharged because there is no social care for them to go into. we know all of that, so purely with your gp hat on, if that is possible, to divorce it from the politics, as

a gp, you must have frustrations that come with all those things i have listed. you must see or feel that there are conversations that could be had, things that could be improved to make it better for everyone and to make the most of the money that is going into the nhs? yes, i couldn't agree more. i do have deep frustrations with the way the scottish nhs is being run. and there are things i was talking about there are things i was talking about the nhs across the uk, though specifically, the whole situation. you have to realise, i am a gp in scotland, but i also in parliament in scotland, is the experience i have, but i do recognise what you're saying that there is a uk uk wide problem and it is deeply frustrating, but there are some things we can do to make it better, let me give you some scottish examples. we have services that run really well, so the grampian eye network and the lanarkshire eye network, we have created this great

place where opticians of the first port of call for all eye issues. that relieves the pressure on gps, the opticians have far better equipment than gps and ian leave to do and that is something that is good and saves us time and saves patients the journey to hospital. cash gps and a&es do. that should be best practice aukus gong. if you were to do that and roll that out across the country, you would find things getting better and better. what we need to do is manage the flow of patients through the nhs properly, which would then free up time in a&e, and that out of the box thinking is what we really need in the nhs, not what we are hearing here, which is a two—tiered health system, where somebody pays and some won't pay and what are you going to do, are you going to have somebody sitting at the front door asking how much you earn? absolutely not and

this is not helpful. suggestions like what i just said this is not helpful. suggestions like what ijust said would make a huge difference to front—line doctors and people i speak to every day. doctors and people i speak to every da . . , doctors and people i speak to every da . ., , , ., ., ,, day. 0k, really interesting to talk to ou.i day. 0k, really interesting to talk to you- i wish _ day. 0k, really interesting to talk to you. i wish we _ day. 0k, really interesting to talk to you. i wish we did _ day. 0k, really interesting to talk to you. i wish we did have - day. 0k, really interesting to talk to you. i wish we did have half. day. 0k, really interesting to talk to you. i wish we did have half an j to you. i wish we did have half an hour, there is much more to discuss, but good to talk to you for now, thank you very much. that is dr sandesh gulhane, who is a conservative msp and also scottish shadow cabinet minister for health and we're going to talk more about that story again after 3pm, but because there is a lot of very interesting debate coming out of that story around scotland and the nhs today. now... an immigration hearing in london is considering whether a woman who joined islamic state in syria should have her british citizenship removed. lawyers for shamima begum argued she was a victim of trafficking when she travelled to the country at the age ofjust 15. she is still the country at the age ofjust15. she is still in a camp in northern syria nearly eight years after running away from home in east london with two friends. our

home and correspondent, daniel daniel sandford, has been following the hearing. she daniel sandford, has been following the hearinu. ,, the hearing. she fled the uk in february 2015 _ the hearing. she fled the uk in february 2015 with _ the hearing. she fled the uk in february 2015 with two - the hearing. she fled the uk in february 2015 with two schooll february 2015 with two school friends. she was only 15 years old at the time and she 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 pregnant with her third child and that child then died shortly after. shortly after he was born. it was at that time she was discovered by a times journalist and interviewed then by severaljournalists and very soon afterwards sajid javid, the then home secretary, took her british citizenship away. today her lawyers are arguing here at the special immigration appeals

commission that the evidence in this case was that she was a child victim of trafficking and that evidence is overwhelming, that depriving her of her british citizenship was a disproportionate means of addressing any alleged national security risk. it quite an impassioned opening set of remarks, before shamima begum they said at its heart this case concerns a british child, aged 15, was persuaded, influence and affect with her friends by was persuaded, influence and affect with herfriends by a determined and effective propaganda machine. what effectively her lawyers argued she had been persuaded to go there to the islamic state to be married off aged just 15 to a foreign fighter, but the home office insists its decision to revoke her of her british citizenship was correct and they say when she did turn up in that camp in february 2019 she had only left the eis territories because, not of a genuine disengagement from the group, but because she was fearing for her life and that she then gave a number of

press interviews in which she expressed no remorse and they said the mis expressed no remorse and they said the m15 assessment is that anybody who went to join the islamic state group at that time presents a continuing risk and on that ground as they say that she should continue do not have british citizenship and should remain out of the country. we will pause and look at then rich has after what was a cold start for many this morning, we have seen some wet and quite blustery weather pushing on across the uk, the slow moving across the uk, the slow moving across parts of england.

staying quite not quite moving into eastern scotland, some showers and brisk winds down towards the channel islands. elsewhere early cloud tending to break up to give some spells of sunshine and temperatures north to south across

the country the captains of england and wales are not wearing their onelove armbands because the threat of sanctions from the governing body, fifa. in the rest of the day's news. officials in indonesia say 56 people died after a powerful earthquake struck the west province of java. the earthquake struck the west province ofjava. the prime minister rishi sunak rules out post—brexit arrangements that rely on the uk are learning with eu laws. he says he would prioritise tackling illegal migration. he says that has undermined trust in the system. an. lots to catch up on in the world of sport, you won't be surprised to hear. let's get all the latest from gavin rampton. get all the latest from gavin rampton— get all the latest from gavin ramton. , ., , ., , ., ., rampton. yes, one place to start and that is of course _ rampton. yes, one place to start and that is of course with _ rampton. yes, one place to start and that is of course with england's i that is of course with england's opening game at qatar in the world cup. 4—0 up into the second half of the match against iran there after a long delay in the first half. or

that any moment, but england took the lead thanks tojude bellingham's header to calm the opening game nerves here. the 19—year—old rising to meet luke shaw's cross. the pressure had been building up to that point and bukayo saka made it 2-0 that point and bukayo saka made it 2—0 soon after with a great finish into the net here, england with two players aged 21 under both scoring in a single world cup game for the first time. and raheem sterling made it three, as half—time approached, converting well of a hurricane cross. bukayo saka has since made it four. iran looked like they have pulled a goal backjust as i am speaking, so for— one now as it stands, england looking dominant and totally in control, though. 1a minutes of injury time were played in the first half, after a collision involving the iran goalkeeper, which saw him subbed off under compression rules, but was allowed to initially play on. the uk charity, capped his headway, had strong words over how

the situation was handled. this is what the ceo had to say about the matter. he added... he was clearly distressed and unfit to continue. there were problems before kick—off as well, support are struggling to get in due to a problem with e ticketing for the game. many people complained of social media that they were unable to download tickets, due to an error in the app and plenty of empty seats were seen at the khalifa stadium just minutes before kick—off. bbc sports reporter alex was outside the ground before kick—off. i was outside the ground before kick-off. ., , ., , kick-off. i am stood outside the khalifa international _ kick-off. i am stood outside the khalifa international stadium, l kick-off. i am stood outside the i khalifa international stadium, where inside _ khalifa international stadium, where inside england are currently playing around _ inside england are currently playing around. these fans here have been in the queue _ around. these fans here have been in the queue for— around. these fans here have been in the queue for hours. the tickets have _ the queue for hours. the tickets have disappeared from the app with no information as they are hoping to make _ no information as they are hoping to make it _ no information as they are hoping to make it inside to see some of the action _ make it inside to see some of the action ht?— make it inside to see some of the action. ~ , . ., make it inside to see some of the action. g m .,, , action. my ticket has been activated. _ action. my ticket has been activated, my _ action. my ticket has been activated, my wife - action. my ticket has been activated, my wife hasn't. | action. my ticket has been | activated, my wife hasn't. i action. my ticket has been i activated, my wife hasn't. i think activated, my wife hasn't. ithink all of— activated, my wife hasn't. ithink all of those — activated, my wife hasn't. ithink all of those people _ activated, my wife hasn't. ithink all of those people in _ activated, my wife hasn't. ithink all of those people in there - activated, my wife hasn't. ithink all of those people in there don't have _ all of those people in there don't have a _ all of those people in there don't have a ticket _ all of those people in there don't have a ticket to _ all of those people in there don't have a ticket to get _ all of those people in there don't have a ticket to get into - all of those people in there don't have a ticket to get into the i all of those people in there don't i have a ticket to get into the match. so the _

they are not here for a holiday, they are here to perform and do well, give a good account of themselves, looking forward to the game this evening. rangers have sacked giovanni van bronckhorst after a year in stock, nine points adrift of celtic. his 12 month tenure is over after a poor champions league group stage campaign and falling further adrift. about 20 minutes or so to go in the england game. staying with some of theissues england game. staying with some of the issues that surround the game itself. the match gavin was talking about kicked off after several

nations decided not to wear one love armbands. despite being told by fifa players could be booked if they did so. joining me now is ryan atkin, the first referee in the england professional league to come out as gay. he now campaigns for equality in football with stonewall, the largest lgbt rights organisation in europe. what do you make of the armbands? the players wanted to wear them but now for obvious reasons they are not? �* , ., ., 4' now for obvious reasons they are not? �*, ., ., , , not? let's look at it honestly. it was a great _ not? let's look at it honestly. it was a great campaign, - not? let's look at it honestly. it was a great campaign, helpful. not? let's look at it honestly. it i was a great campaign, helpful that not only england but a number of nations were going to wear the armband. —— hopeful. myself being an openly gay man i know the public sanctions that could be put against

the captain of the team and the pressures, especially england, and ultimately we know teams are doing their utmost to ensure this commission and equal rights are being campaigned out in the world cup. but also we want england to do well at the tournament so to receive a caution or booking from the fa ought to receive a sanction would stop the progress of the england team, not something we want. people love the game. _ team, not something we want. people love the game. it _ team, not something we want. people love the game, it is _ team, not something we want. people love the game, it is meant _ team, not something we want. people love the game, it is meant to - team, not something we want. people love the game, it is meant to be i love the game, it is meant to be about the game but rather overshadowed recently. people will understand why you say that. i am interested in what you make of fifa's approach to all of this. and some of the last minute changes we have seen. a few days ago, it was a decision about alcohol that came only 48 hours before it started. never really fundamental decision like this one today. would you like to see people being more robust, if you think that would be the correct word? how would you like them to be approaching this? some serious

complex issues taking place both prior to the world cup and as it is happening. we only have to think it is actually only day two of the tournament and more focus has been on the other elements of the tournament and not the football. ultimately we want fifa to be robust and sustainable, move forward with how society is, and accepting society, weather it be lgbt q class, race, religion or women's rights, there is a concern for us that future tournaments, poor human rights countries still bidding. poor lgbt rights. if i have to show they stand by the message, football is for all.

stand by the message, football is forall. i stand by the message, football is for all. i do not want to put words in your mouth but i am interested to see weather you think this particular tournament could be used as a discussion point, a turning point for really thinking through which cities, nations are chosen for future tournaments. is this a time to take stock and think about who has the right to host the tournament? ~ , , . ., , has the right to host the tournament? ~ , . ., , ., tournament? absolutely. we only have tournament? absolutely. we only have to look that other _ tournament? absolutely. we only have to look that other teams _ tournament? absolutely. we only have to look that other teams are _ tournament? absolutely. we only have to look that other teams are showing i to look that other teams are showing their defiance per things happening in the country, using football as a powerful message to demonstrate their support for whatever may be happening in the country, the iranian team not singing the national anthem in support of protesters in their country. the controversy is taking place in qatar in 2022 the fifa president made a comment in some of the things that happened in western countries but that was such a long time ago, we

are talking about qatar 2022 and what currently is in place there. if qatar can be used is that platform to make sure it never happens again, hopefully some positivity can come from this tournament. just hopefully some positivity can come from this tournament.— hopefully some positivity can come from this tournament. just a thought about the game _ from this tournament. just a thought about the game itself. _ from this tournament. just a thought about the game itself. if _ from this tournament. just a thought about the game itself. if you - from this tournament. just a thought about the game itself. if you were i about the game itself. if you were still a professional football referee and you had been asked to take part, play a role in this year's tournament, would you be happy to be there, doing yourjob as a 93v happy to be there, doing yourjob as a gay man? how confident would you have doubt about that? —— how comfortable? i probably would not pay out if the journey was to reach the professional level, it probably wouldn't be that i would be an openly gay man. i think fifa are detracting from individuals being able to be themselves by placing world cups in countries that are not supportive of the lgbtq+ community. but for me and the position i stand and currently, i do not see myself

potentially progressing into the fifa ranks because of the comments i make carving out fifa. that fifa ranks because of the comments i make carving out fifa.— make carving out fifa. that is a shame to _ make carving out fifa. that is a shame to my — make carving out fifa. that is a shame to my own _ make carving out fifa. that is a shame to my own career i make carving out fifa. that is a shame to my own career but i shame to my own career but ultimately we are in this position because fifa has decided to go to a country which does not support human rights, does not support their message of an equal game and football for all and that is why we are in this mess.— football for all and that is why we are in this mess. goodness, so much more to talk — are in this mess. goodness, so much more to talk to _ are in this mess. goodness, so much more to talk to you _ are in this mess. goodness, so much more to talk to you about _ are in this mess. goodness, so much more to talk to you about but - are in this mess. goodness, so much more to talk to you about but thank i more to talk to you about but thank you for now. the tournament has only just started, we might talk again, ryan atkin. more now on rishi sunak telling business leaders that for the uk to attract talent from abroad the government needs to make its priority to tackle illegal migration. the prime minister has addressed the cbi conference in birmingham this morning.

joining me now is madeleine sumption — she is the director of the migration observatory — and she specialises on the impacts of migration policies and the role of migrants in the labour market. the last element of what you do there is crucial to others, what struck you in terms of what the prime minister told cbi delegates? i think there is this interesting question about weather there is a link between what the uk is doing on irregular migration of people crossing the channel on small boats usually to claim asylum and what is going on in terms of people coming, skilled workers. both of these may be a priority for the government but i think they are completely different issues and the things you do in government to try and address

to murky a totally separate so i do not think it is useful to think of them in this way.— not think it is useful to think of them in this way. your point is a olitician them in this way. your point is a politician of _ them in this way. your point is a politician of any _ them in this way. your point is a politician of any colour _ them in this way. your point is a politician of any colour could i them in this way. your point is a politician of any colour could say them in this way. your point is a l politician of any colour could say i want to tackle illegal immigration, if that is something they wish to do, but they could also still bring in the people we need from other countries to fill the many skills gaps and shortages we know about because business leaders tell us about them all the time? absolutely. if ou look about them all the time? absolutely. if you look at — about them all the time? absolutely. if you look at these _ about them all the time? absolutely. if you look at these types _ about them all the time? absolutely. if you look at these types of - if you look at these types of immigration, very different things they are doing, people coming in, we have a relatively liberal skilled migration system in the uk at the moment, lots of people coming in for jobs in the nhs, technical debates about is that system inclusive enough? what about people in more middle schoolsjobs like middle schools jobs like construction where they are not really using the system enough? those sort of issues, firstly it is a much larger group of people.

talking about coming in through the normal legal migration system, applying for visas weather for work are students or family members, that is the vast majority of immigration to the uk. you then have the smaller, more difficult to manage set of issues around irregular migration. the government would like to try and address that, are challenged to do it, but the decisions they take don't necessarily have to be linked to the decisions they make on skilled migration, for example. 50 decisions they make on skilled migration, for example. so when you hear independently _ migration, for example. so when you hear independently of _ migration, for example. so when you hear independently of the _ migration, for example. so when you hear independently of the political. hear independently of the political arguments business leaders say we cannot find the right people to fill x, y, zjobs, it cuts across different industries but in the service sector, when you hear that with your knowledge of the subject, not enough staff, how does that go through your mind as to how the gaps can be filled? or does brexit mean it will be almost impossible?

nothing is impossible in this feel. the fundamental reason employers are facing shortages at the moment in low—wage jobs facing shortages at the moment in low—wagejobs is a combination of some specific features of the post—pandemic labour murky, lots of countries are experiencing, nothing to do with immigration policy, plus the end of free movement has exacerbated the difficulty of recruiting people because eu workers were overrepresented in many low—wagejobs. even though were overrepresented in many low—wage jobs. even though we have quite a lot of people coming in from non—eu countries did do skilled work, thejobs are not non—eu countries did do skilled work, the jobs are not the same ones. we have this challenge. the government, a couple of different options, one is to say we will stick to the current system, we recognise there are shortages numbered in the long run the labour will adjust, so those vacancy levels will not always be so high. that is coherent. the

other is ok, we see employers are struggling in some industries, we will introduce some sort of scheme to allow them to hire workers may be... the challenge is actually for the scheme is to bring people into low—wage jobs are actually really difficult to manage. in particular, risk of exploitation were people coming and are in a work permit that ties them to an employer in a particular sector, they do not have the ability very ease away to leave a job if they are being exported. the big tension for the government, do they try and meet that demand even though there are likely to be some cost in terms of exportation? interesting to talk to you, thank you, madeleine sumption, director of migration observatory. at least 50 people killed in indonesia after an earthquake shook the province of west java. earthquake shook the province of westjava. a earthquake shook the province of west java. a statement saying up to 20 people died injust one hospital

this is bbc news, i'mjane hill. the headlines: england are playing in their opening game of the 2022 world cup against iran, where they are currently on course for a 5—1 victory against iran. actually, a 6—1 victory against iran — the wales match against the usa kicks off at 7pm, and it's a fixture that fans have had to wait more than six decades to see. the captains of england and wales aren't wearing onelove armbands, in support of the lgbtq+ community, because of in the threat of sanctions by the governing body, fifa. the prime minister, rishi sunak, rules out post—brexit arrangements that would rely on the uk aligning

campaign today, of course. we will have much more normal today's stories to come, but first we are going to get a quick round—up of where we are because england are playing, in fact, where we are because england are playing, infact, i where we are because england are playing, in fact, i am assuming england must be quite near the end of their match, but let's get all the latest details from our man at the bbc sports centre. our sports correspondent, is gavin ramjaun. yes, england are winning 6—1 in their opening match against iran in group b. jack grealish hasjust scored to make it six, so they have got off to an incredible start so far, and there is absolutely no chance iran will come back after this, ten minutes left of the second half. nine minutes into the game, jude bellingham got off to a great start, coming any nerves they may have had coming into this first game of the tournament, a headed goal there, bukayo saka got the first of his two, raheem sterling is well made it 3—0 before half—time, so so

far they are absolutely flying, looks like it will be 6—1, possibly south with the amount of added extra time in the second half. they have a huge delay in the first half because of a concussion to the iranian goalkeeper who collided face first into his opening defender, there was i4 into his opening defender, there was iii minutes of first—half stoppage time and a lot of criticism has been levelled at the organisers, fifa, for the concussion protocols. headway, the uk charity, said the concussion protocols were not followed because the goalkeeper was initially allowed to play on, but was then taken off, ten minutes in this half is a long game, 6—1 up for england. a, this half is a long game, 6-1 up for encland. �* ., . . in this half is a long game, 6-1 up for encland. �* ., . . ~ ., england. a long game, and you know what is so great _ england. a long game, and you know what is so great about _ england. a long game, and you know what is so great about this _ england. a long game, and you know what is so great about this already, l what is so great about this already, they are doing almost as well as the lionessesthat is very, that is the extent of my footballing knowledge, but i think it is an important point to make. it but i think it is an important point to make. , ., , but i think it is an important point to make. , . to make. it is a very important oint to to make. it is a very important point to make, _ to make. it is a very important point to make, but _ to make. it is a very important point to make, but at - to make. it is a very important point to make, but at this - to make. it is a very important. point to make, but at this stage to make. it is a very important - point to make, but at this stage as it is it will be in goods men's

if they did. i have been discussing all of that with ryan atkin, who is the first three in the english national league to come out as gay. he now campaigns for equality in football with stonewall, the largest lgbtq rights organisation in europe. they ask you about the change that fact is that the captains will not be wearing those armbands. yes. be wearing those armbands. yes, let's look at _ be wearing those armbands. yes, let's look at it _ be wearing those armbands. yes, let's look at it honestly. - be wearing those armbands. yes, let's look at it honestly. it - be wearing those armbands. ines let's look at it honestly. it was be wearing those armbands. ices let's look at it honestly. it was a great campaign, it was hopeful that not only england, but a number of nations were going to wear the armband thatjust hasn't been possible. i think we all understand, especially myself being an openly gay man, the pressures that are put on the individual and the potential sanctions that could be put against a captain of the team, especially england, and ultimately we know that teams are doing their utmost to ensure that actually discrimination and equal rights are being campaigned out in the world cup, but also we want england to do well in the tournament and to receive a

caution or a booking orfor the fa to receive a sanction is not something we would want to stop the progress of the england team. right; progress of the england team. right, es, progress of the england team. right, yes. because — progress of the england team. right, yes. because you _ progress of the england team. right, yes, because you know, _ progress of the england team. right, yes, because you know, people - progress of the england team. right, yes, because you know, people love the game and it is meant to be about the game and it is meant to be about the game, but of course it has been rather overshadowed recently and people will understand why you say that. i am interested in what you make of fifa's approach to all this? and some of the last minute changes we have seen? a few days ago it was a decision about alcohol that came only 48 hours before it all started and now a really fundamental decision like this one today. would you like to see fifa being more robust, if you think that would be the correct word? how would you like them to be approaching this cosmic yes, i think there are some serious complex issues that are taking place, both prior complex issues that are taking place. both prio— complex issues that are taking place, both prior prior to the world cu and place, both prior prior to the world cup and actually — place, both prior prior to the world cup and actually as _ place, both prior prior to the world cup and actually as it _ place, both prior prior to the world cup and actually as it is _ place, both prior prior to the world cup and actually as it is happening | cup and actually as it is happening and we only have to think that it is actually only day two of the tournament are naturally more focus has been on the other elements of the tournament is not the football. ultimately we want fifa to be

robust, we want them to be sustainable and we want them to move forward with how society is and that is of an accepting society, whether it be lgbtq+, whether it be race, religion or women's rights and for us there is a concern there that future world cups and countries are still bidding for future world cups that have really poor human rights, they have poor lgbt rights in their countries and so we really want fifa, i think used a great word, be more robust, but actually show the world that as the leading football body, they take everybody into consideration and actually they stand by their message, which is football is for all. find stand by their message, which is football is for all.— football is for all. and so, again, i don't want _ football is for all. and so, again, i don't want to _ football is for all. and so, again, i don't want to put _ football is for all. and so, again, i don't want to put words - football is for all. and so, again, i don't want to put words in - football is for all. and so, again, i don't want to put words in your| i don't want to put words in your mouth, but i'm interested whether you think this particular tournament could be used as a discussion point, a turning point for really thinking through which cities, which nations are chosen for future tournaments? is this a time to take stock and

think about who has the right to host a tournament? absolutely. you know, we host a tournament? absolutely. you know. we only _ host a tournament? absolutely. you know, we only have _ host a tournament? absolutely. you know, we only have to _ host a tournament? absolutely. you know, we only have to look - host a tournament? absolutely. you know, we only have to look that - know, we only have to look that other teams are showing their defiance for things that are happening in their country, they are using football as a powerful message to demonstrate their support for whatever it may be happening in their country. we take the iranians in not singing their national anthem, in support of the protests of their home country. qatar will always be remembered for the controversies are actually taking place currently in qatar in 2022. we have the fifa president making a comment around some of the things that happened in the western countries, but that was such a long time ago, we are talking about qatar 2022 and what currently is in place there, so for me, yes, if qatar can be used as that platform to ensure that it never happens again, then hopefully some positivity can come from this tournament. i hopefully some positivity can come from this tournament.— hopefully some positivity can come from this tournament. i mean, 'ust a thou~ht from this tournament. i mean, 'ust a thought about — from this tournament. i mean, 'ust a thought about the i

from this tournament. i mean, 'ust a thought about the game itself. h from this tournament. i mean, just a thought about the game itself. i - thought about the game itself. i mean, if you were still a professional football referee and you had been asked to take part, to play a role in this year's tournament, would you be happy to be there doing yourjob, as a gay man? how comfortable would you have felt about that? i how comfortable would you have felt about that? .. how comfortable would you have felt about that? ~' ., , ., .. about that? i think the option would be a property _ about that? i think the option would be a property wouldn't _ about that? i think the option would be a property wouldn't be _ about that? i think the option would be a property wouldn't be out, - about that? i think the option would be a property wouldn't be out, if- be a property wouldn't be out, if the journey for myself was to reach that professional level, i think probably i wouldn't actually be an openly gay man. i do think if there are detracting from individuals actually being able to be themselves by placing world cups in countries that are not supportive of the lgbtq+ community, but i think for me and the position that i stand and currently i don't see myself potentially progressing into the fifa ranks because of the comments that i make calling out fifa. and that i make calling out fifa. and thatis that i make calling out fifa. and that is a shame to my own career, but ultimately were in this position because fifa has decided to go to a country which does not support human rights, it does not support their message of an equal game and

football for all and that is why we are in this mess.— football for all and that is why we are in this mess. ryan atkin there, the first referee _ are in this mess. ryan atkin there, the first referee in _ are in this mess. ryan atkin there, the first referee in the _ are in this mess. ryan atkin there, the first referee in the english - the first referee in the english professional league to come out as 9“- professional league to come out as gay. talking about the fact that the england and wales captains will not be wearing the onelove armband in support of the lgbtq+ community. in terms of the sport itself, the game itself, we are in the final few minutes, i believe, itself, the game itself, we are in the finalfew minutes, i believe, of the finalfew minutes, i believe, of the england— iran game. gavin was telling us just the england— iran game. gavin was telling usjust a the england— iran game. gavin was telling us just a little earlier that there has been quite a lot of extra time because of various head injuries and other concerns, sojust injuries and other concerns, sojust in the last few moments, currently 6-1, but in the last few moments, currently 6—1, but we'll keep an eye that. now, will turn to the rest of the day's news. the prime minister, rishi sunak, has been speaking to business leaders at the cbi conference.

downing street tried to play down suggestions that dr agnes callamard close ties. they said brexit could add new opportunities to control immigration and to strike new trade deals. let's get more from our political correspondent, alex forsyth. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, is at the cbi conference in birmingham. tell us more about what rishi sunak had to say and crucially how business leaders are receiving it. this gathering of business leaders of course comes the week after jeremy hunt gave his autumn statement, in which he laid bare the economic reality facing the country and so the central theme of this conference, the cbi conference, this year has been about how businesses can achieve growth, given the economic outlook the country is facing, recession with inflation high, with interest rates having risen, with the squeeze on the public finances and the cbi director—general, tony danker, has been talking about the conditions that are needed for growth. one of

the aspects he talked about was trade, in particular trade with the eu and you may have heard over the weekend speculation in the sunday times newspaper that number ten was considering a swiss style relationship with the eu, which effectively would mean a much closer relationship with the eu than under the current terms of the brexit trade agreement an arrangement. now, rishi sunak addressed what he saw as the future uk relationship with the eu when he gave his speech during the cbi conference when he gave his speech to journalists and he made the cbi conference when he gave his speech tojournalists and he made it pretty clear under his leadership the uk would not be following eu laws and regulations, there would be no alignment. this is what the prime minister rishi sunak had to say a little earlier. labour under my leadership, the united kingdom will not pursue any relationship with europe not pursue any relationship with euro . ~. , ., ., not pursue any relationship with euro ~. , ., .,| not pursue any relationship with europe- i believe - not pursue any relationship with europe- i believe in - not pursue any relationship with europe ghana i believe in brexit, i voted for brexit _ europe ghana i believe in brexit, i voted for brexit and _ europe ghana i believe in brexit, i voted for brexit and i _ europe ghana i believe in brexit, i voted for brexit and i know - europe ghana i believe in brexit, i voted for brexit and i know that i voted for brexit and i know that brexit _ voted for brexit and i know that brexit can — voted for brexit and i know that brexit can deliver and is already delivering — brexit can deliver and is already delivering enormous benefits and

workers in from overseas to plug skill shortages, the prime minister said instead the focus should be on tackling what he called illegal immigration, stopping the small boat channel crossings. he said that would restore public faith in the immigration system. you will know immigration system. you will know immigration has been a politically contentious issue for some time, so the prime minister at this stage not making any direct comment about the idea of extending visas for overseas workers, instead focusing on tackling illegal migration, in his view, which as we know has been a really contentious issue in and of itself. �* ., , really contentious issue in and of itself. �* ., _ . �* itself. alex forsyth at the cbi conference _ itself. alex forsyth at the cbi conference there, _ itself. alex forsyth at the cbi conference there, thanks i very much for now. just taking a look briefly at the scene there in doha. i was going to. but there we are. just me and football. it is risky, isn't it, i mean, i did say to them, just don't, but you know, i can tell you england have won, 6—2, iran scoring in the last few minutes on penalties. but it was 6—2,

england victorious there and of course wales begin their campaign at 7pm this evening, they will be playing the usa. let's return to the rest of the day's news. that is exactly 3:15pm. let's get an update on that immigration hearing in london, which is considering whether a woman whojoined london, which is considering whether a woman who joined islamic state in syria should have had her british citizenship removed. lawyers for shamima begum argue that she was a victim of trafficking when she travelled to the country at the age ofjust 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. she fled the uk in february 2015 with two school friends. she was only 15 years at the time and she went off tojoin only 15 years at the time and she 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 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 pregnant with her third child and that child then died shortly after he was born. it was at that time that she was discovered by a times journalist and then into by severaljournalists a times journalist and then into by several journalists and a times journalist and then into by severaljournalists and then very soon afterwards sajid javid, the then home secretary, took her british citizenship away. today her lawyers are arguing here at the special immigration appeals commission that the evidence in this case was that she was a child victim of trafficking and that evidence is overwhelming and that depriving her of her british citizenship was a disproportionate means of addressing any alleged national security risk. in quite an impassioned opening set of remarks, the lawyer for shamima

begum said at its heart, this case concerns a british child, aged 15, who was persuaded, influenced and affected with their friends by a determined and effective propaganda isis machine. effectively what her lawyers are arguing as she was persuaded to go there to be married off aged just 15 to a foreign writer, but the home office insists that its decision to revoke her of her british citizenship was correct and they say that when she did turn up and they say that when she did turn up in that camp in february 2019, she had only left eis territories because, not of a genuine disengagement from the group, but because she was fearing for her life and that she had then given a number of press interviews in which she expressed no remorse. they said that the m15 expressed no remorse. they said that the mis assessment is that anybody who went to join the islamic state group at that time presents a continuing risk and on that ground is they say that she should continue to not have her british citizenship and should remain out of the

country. and should remain out of the count . ., oui’ our home affairs correspondent, at that hearing. the time edging up to 3:18pm, let'sjust have a reminder of this afternoon was not headlines. england have won their opening game of the 2022 world cup. they beat iran 6—2. the wales match against the usa kicks off at 7pm this evening. that is the start of wales's first world cup campaign for 64 years. the captains of england and wales are not wearing onelove armbands in support of the lgbtq+ community because of the threat of sanctions by the governing body, fifa. nhs leaders in scotland have been discussing a radical plan that would make wealthy people pay for some health service treatment. that would mean the abandonment of the founding principles of the nhs, which make it

three at the point of delivery. here's our scotland editor, james cook, in glasgow. this is a meeting held by nhs board, in september and in it they discuss 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 could afford to go private, but also plenty of ideas apparently on the table, including cutting the funding of new drugs, perhaps six 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. now, the most controversial of these suggestions has been immediately knocked down by the scottish government, the first minister nicola sturgeon telling us a short time ago that the founding principles of the nhs are not up for discussion and 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.— principles of the nhs. james cook there in glasgow. _ principles of the nhs. james cook there in glasgow. russian - principles of the nhs. james cook there in glasgow. russian forces i principles of the nhs. james cook| there in glasgow. russian forces in southern ukraine has stepped up their shelling of the recently liberated region of kherson. they are searching for victims in the rubble of a building. the city remains largely without power or mains water after russian troops withdrew ten days ago. our ukraine correspondence, james withdrew ten days ago. our ukraine correspondence, james waterhouse, sent this report. a week on from occupation, kherson has started the long process of healing. after eight months of being cut off, this is the

ponseti method. before a child who had already learned to walk on a twisted foot might have been told surgery 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. 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. naomi grimley. officials in indonesia say at least 56 people have died after a powerful earthquake shook the province of west java. a statement saying up to 20 people died in just one hospital in the area. hundreds treated for injuries and many had fractures. the 5.6 quake was felt a hundred kilometres away business district.

the nasa's artemis spacecraft has arrived at the moon the nasa's artemis spacecraft has arrived in moon orbit after launching last wednesday. this is the most powerful rocket the american government agency has ever built and its part of the artemis programme which aims to [and humans on the moon. and commander. explain to us mere mortals who do not have your understanding of these things what this project is all about, why it is so important. sure, this is the first — about, why it is so important. sure, this is the first test _ about, why it is so important. sure, this is the first test flight _ about, why it is so important. sure, this is the first test flight of - about, why it is so important. sure, this is the first test flight of the - this is the first test flight of the space launch system rocket, full on test of the orion spacecraft, these are the instruments that would be used by nasa to return humans eventually to the surface of the moon, hopefully in a sustainable

manner. the launch was just a few days ago, as you know, looked like it was for this, the orion spacecraft looks like it is performing flawlessly as well. just very recently, several hours ago, reached what we call a perigee to the moon, lowest point of the orbit, 18 miles or so, 120 kilometres and executing a burn, now swinging much further away, tens of thousands of miles, going into a distant orbit. intended to shake down the orion aircraft, put it through its paces, check out our systems, make sure it is going to work. at the end of the 25 day mission it will come back to earth and re—enter the atmosphere, big test of the heat shield. coming back from the moon, faster than coming back from the space station, 25,000 kilometres per hourfrom the space station and 50% more than that

coming back from the moon, so the speeds are much greater, energy much greater. if the hardware works out then hopefully artemis ii in the next year to a couple of years will launch with humans on board for the first orbital flight around the moon since 1968, not true, since 19 69, 70, 71. if that works out, sets the stage for abounding humans back at them and, hopefully that will come about. fits them and, hopefully that will come about. �* , ., ., , them and, hopefully that will come about. a ., ., , ., about. as we say, no humans on birders, mannequins _ about. as we say, no humans on birders, mannequins with - about. as we say, no humans on | birders, mannequins with centres attached to them. i am assuming that about sending back data and information from the sensors. how much about working out the impact on humans? teii much about working out the impact on humans? , ., ., , humans? tell us more. certainly, when ou humans? tell us more. certainly, when you travel— humans? tell us more. certainly, when you travel into _ humans? tell us more. certainly, when you travel into space, - humans? tell us more. certainly, when you travel into space, even | humans? tell us more. certainly, l when you travel into space, even to the space station, you are exposed to higher levels of radiation than

you would be here. many other biomedical effects happen as a result of being in the zero gravity or microgravity environment, lots of different changes to the human body and living systems, not good. we try to mitigate those effects through exercise and other countermeasures. the americans on board the orion will measure things like the radiation environment to see what humans would have been exposed to on a mission like this. that will add to the database of knowledge we have on these kinds of risks. lots of different instrumentation including the mannequins on—board the spacecraft, looks like it is going very well so far.— spacecraft, looks like it is going very well so far. really interesting some of the _ very well so far. really interesting some of the things _ very well so far. really interesting some of the things you _ very well so far. really interesting some of the things you mentioned there, a little of topic but —— off topic, we introduce you as a former nasa astronaut, you have outlined some of the risks, when you are back in civilian life do you have to constantly monitor your health, do

you have to live differently because of all those experiences, because of what your body has been through? the people follow you and your progress? how does that work? there is a voluntary project with nasa, bring us back yearly, do a physical exam, take some measurements, they track the long—term study of national health to see if there are any long—term effects. an obvious one might be cancer, not enough data yet to draw a conclusion on that. we are relatively still protected here in low earth orbit above the space station, or in the past aboard a space shuttle. really although we have been exposed to high levels of radiation, so for it does not really look like it has really affected long—term health. i do not have to personally do anything differently. you may remember several years ago we started seeing astronauts coming back with changes to their vision. that is still going on, we are still

studying that and figuring out what we can do to prevent it or identify what characteristics make some susceptible to it and others not. fascinating, so much to talk to you about. a quick final thought, i am sure people ask you all the time, in terms of the project we brought you on to talk about, the idea that ultimately this will get humans back to the moon again, for you, what is the fundamental point of that? is there scientific learning that is a benefit from that or do think there's an element ofjust geopolitics and wanting to be another nation to get people, more women up to the moon in particular and so on? what is going on for you? it is all those things wrapped up, without politics we would not have had a space programme, never had a first moon race, space race to get to the moon. frankly we would not have the programme now is of course the national prestige angle. and of

course inspiring the next generation of young people. that is wrapped up into it but there are scientific reasons for going back and exploring the moon. one of them, a little out there but helium—3 is a potential fusion fuel source on the moon. practical or what i call operational reasons for going back, if you are going to send a cue to mars —— crew to mars, practice on the moon to change your astronauts, test hardware, make sure it will work before you send it all the way to mars. it takes six months one way to go to mars when the planets are lined up, the reason you do all of this on the moon, the moon is only three to four days, if there is an incident you can get your crew back quickly. incident you can get your crew back tuickl . ., ,. ., incident you can get your crew back t uickl . ., ,. ., ., incident you can get your crew back tuickl . ., ., quickly. fascinating, i love your language. _ quickly. fascinating, i love your language. the _ quickly. fascinating, i love your language, the moon _ quickly. fascinating, i love your language, the moon is - quickly. fascinating, i love your language, the moon is close . quickly. fascinating, i love your| language, the moon is close by! quickly. fascinating, i love your. language, the moon is close by! a former nasa astronaut, leroy chiao, as you will have gathered, talking

about the artemis mission. paris has switched on its traditional christmas light display — this year, with an energy—efficient twist. it's part of a national effort to consume less electricity, as naomi choy smith reports. the countdown to christmas is on at the shop still easily. but this year, the city of lights is shining just a little less brightly. these energy—efficient champagne coloured led bulbs will be turned off earlier every night and run a week shorter than usual, consuming half the amount of electricity as last year's display. i saw one of the signs said that they're using less electricity this year, which is really cool, and i think they've also

closed the road this year, which is incredible, so it's like they're sort of making these strides towards, i guess, a greenerfuture, which is good to see. it's all part of what the french government calls sobriety measures, aimed at reducing electricity use to avoid blackouts or shortages this winter and meet its climate targets. translation: these new schedules are a way for us to show solidarity, i to be thrifty, to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. it's a similar, subdued picture across europe. as russia's war in ukraine squeezes energy supplies and sends prices soaring. shops are also dimming displays and citizens are encouraged to turn down the heat, as europe tries to conserve energy without dimming the magic of christmas. naomi choy smith, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. it has turned into a wet and rather blustery day for many parts of the uk. 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. 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 northwards and eastwards across england, wales, northern ireland looking especially wet, rain quite persistent here. scotland, clear spells, some showers, after such a cold start temperatures at best up to 5—6. further south and west, highs of 10—11. into the night, low pressure centre here taking rain further northwards, it will stall, tend to peter out. this area of low pressure swings in from the south—west, isobars squeezing together, a swathe of strong wind, gales around a time in exposed coasts in the south—west and the channel islands.

some rain moving into the east of scotland. blue pockets here on the map, frost, not quite as cold as last night. murky start across central parts of england and east wales, areas of cloud will clear to give sunny spells. rain drifting across northern and eastern parts of scotland, showers into wales, south—west of england, windy for the channel islands, broadly speaking a drier, brighter, slightly calmer day tomorrow, temperatures at best 7—11. only a brief calm interlude because another area of the pressure swings in from the west on wednesday, outbreaks of quite heavy rain driving north—eastwards once again. some quite brisk winds, particularly down towards the south—west of england and wales, real rash of heavy and potentially thundery showers, some spells of sunshine, cold enough for some wintry conditions, temperatures 9—12 north to south across the uk.

by the end of the week the temperatures lifting, milder, rain at times but some drier intervals as well.

this is bbc news, i'mjane hill. the headlines: at apm. england have won their opening game of the world cup in a 6—2 victory against iran. at 7pm tonight — the start of wales's first world cup campaign for 6a years. the captains of england and wales aren't wearing onelove armbands in support of the lgbtq+ community because of the threat of sanctions by the governing body, fifa. in the rest of the day's new officials in indonesia say at least 56 people have died

after a powerful earthquake shook the province of west java. the prime minister, rishi sunak, rules out post—brexit arrangements that would rely on the uk aligning with eu laws. nhs leaders in scotland have discussed charging some patients for treatment, which would abandon the service's founding principles. nasa's artemis spacecraft is carrying out its first orbit of the moon, 130 kilometres above the lunar surface. scientists face a nervous wait as the unmanned orion capsule then attempts to enter a larger orbit. hello and welcome. england have made a dream start at the qatar world cup against iran.

they thrashed the team 6—2. the iranian team did not sing their national anthem to support those protesting against the regime in their country. we are going to get all the latest now from my colleague lucy hockings indo half.— lucy hockings indo half. welcome to doha. we lucy hockings indo half. welcome to doha- we are _ lucy hockings indo half. welcome to doha. we are going _ lucy hockings indo half. welcome to doha. we are going to _ lucy hockings indo half. welcome to doha. we are going to talk— lucy hockings indo half. welcome to doha. we are going to talk about. lucy hockings indo half. welcome to doha. we are going to talk about all| doha. we are going to talk about all the controversies of the picture in a moment, but first england did secure a comprehensive victory in their opening world cup match against iran. so much to talk about, let's show you just a bit of that action on the field first. this was england's penultimate goal in their 60-2 england's penultimate goal in their 60—2 victory, scored by marcus rashford. —— in their 6— to victory. he found the net when he had just come on, the first time he has done so. and an iranian player putting his name on the scoresheet twice and giving the iranian supporters something to celebrate. that was the

football, but before the match had even started there was so much controversy swirling around the stadium here indo half, withjust a couple of hours before kick off the england team, along with other european nations, decided they would not wear diversity armbands and that is because of a threat of action from the referee. then when the players reach the pitch, many of the iranian team refused to sing the national anthem. the captain had already spoken out against the government in tehran. and this was remarkable as well. we were watching as iranian fans arrived at the stadium and the song you can hear there is the song of resistance in iran, as those protests over the death of 22—year—old amini continue in cities right across the country. so it was incredibly emotional for many iranian when they cut away to

pictures of many of them in the stadium as well, you could see lots of them crying during the national anthem, a very emotional time for them. we can take you to germany now, where the labour organisation there have held a candlelit vigil, all part of a protest against qatar's human rights record. hundreds of volunteers letting 20,000 candles in germany's day of the dead there, it also coincides with the start of the world cup, to raise awareness of the plight of the fatalities, the migrant worker fatalities, the migrant worker fatalities that have taken place here. that number is put at 6500 by some rights groups and we saw football is filled with sand also laid out in the stadium to commemorate eve thousand migrant workers killed on as world cup construction sites in the lead up to the tournament, notjust the construction sites, but in building a lot of the infrastructure here in qatar as well because this is a city

completely transformed for the world cup. i have been speaking to dr agnes callamard. she is the secretary general of amnesty international. just before we spoke, we were hearing from fans and the england match had just got under way and they were already scoring goals, so they were celebrating the football. talking about the football only, and she told me that what she thinks about these controversies surrounding the world cup, she thinks it is incredibly important for the fans to keep the controversies in mind, even while they're celebrating football. i controversies in mind, even while they're celebrating football. i want to tell them _ they're celebrating football. i want to tell them to _ they're celebrating football. i want to tell them to think _ they're celebrating football. i want to tell them to think about - they're celebrating football. i want to tell them to think about the - to tell them to think about the iranian— to tell them to think about the iranian team, notjust to tell them to think about the iranian team, not just as the adversaries of a football game, but as young _ adversaries of a football game, but as young men who have taken an incredible — as young men who have taken an incredible risk today. they have taken _ incredible risk today. they have taken an — incredible risk today. they have taken an incredible risk by refusing to sing _ taken an incredible risk by refusing to sing the — taken an incredible risk by refusing to sing the anthem. i want them, the fansto— to sing the anthem. ! want them, the fans to think— to sing the anthem. i want them, the fans to think about them because when _ fans to think about them because when they— fans to think about them because when they are going to go back to irani _ when they are going to go back to iran, they— when they are going to go back to iran, they could get arrested. they could _ iran, they could get arrested. they could get— iran, they could get arrested. they could get tortured. they could get sentenced to death, as many

economic reality facing the country and so the central theme of this conference, the cbi conference this year, has been about how businesses can achieve growth, given the economic outlook of the country is facing, a recession with inflation high with interest rates having risen, with the squeeze on the public finances and the cbi director—general, tony danker, has been talking about the conditions that are needed for growth. one of the aspects he talked about was trade, in particular trade with the eu and you may have heard over the weekend circulation in the sunday times newspaper that number ten was considering a swiss style relationship with the eu, which effectively would mean much closer relationship with the eu than under the current terms of the brexit trade arrangement. rishi sunak addressed what he saw as the future uk relationship with the eu when he gave his speech at the cbi conference when he gave his conference speech were journalists and he made pretty clear under his leadership the uk would not be following eu laws and regulations,

there would be no alignment. this is what the prime minister rishi sunak had to say a little earlier.— had to say a little earlier. under my leadership. _ had to say a little earlier. under my leadership, the _ had to say a little earlier. under my leadership, the united - had to say a little earlier. under . my leadership, the united kingdom will not _ my leadership, the united kingdom will not pursue any relationship with europe that relies on alignment with europe that relies on alignment with eu _ with europe that relies on alignment with eu laws. i voted for brexit. i believe _ with eu laws. i voted for brexit. i believe in — with eu laws. i voted for brexit. i believe in brexit. and i know that brexit— believe in brexit. and i know that brexit can — believe in brexit. and i know that brexit can deliver and is delivering enormous — brexit can deliver and is delivering enormous benefits and opportunities for the _ enormous benefits and opportunities for the country. migration being an immediate — for the country. migration being an immediate one, where we have proper control— immediate one, where we have proper control of— immediate one, where we have proper control of our— immediate one, where we have proper control of our borders and are able to have _ control of our borders and are able to have a _ control of our borders and are able to have a conversation with the country — to have a conversation with the country about the type of migration that we _ country about the type of migration that we want and need. now, country about the type of migration that we want and need.— that we want and need. now, you heard the prime _ that we want and need. now, you heard the prime minister- that we want and need. now, you heard the prime minister talking i heard the prime minister talking about migration, the type of migration that the government wants to see. that has been another theme of this conference because tony danker, the cbi boss, said one of the things that might help economic growth was loosening immigration restrictions to allow more workers to come from overseas, in particular to come from overseas, in particular to plug the labour shortage gaps that currently exist, it's a really hampering some sectors. he said if

the government were to look to immigration as a solution for growth, that would be a good option. you heard the prime minister saying that from his perspective, brexit allowed the uk government to set its own migration system. he is focus, he said, was on a visa system that would attract the brightest and best, but when asked specifically about his point of whether or not there was any potential loosening of migration to allow workers overseas to plug the skills shortages, the prime minister said instead the focus should be on tackling what he called illegal immigration, stopping the small boat channel crossings. he said that would restore public faith in the immigration system. you will know immigration has been a politically contentious issue for some time, so the prime minister at this stage not making any direct comment about the idea of extending visas for overseas workers, instead focusing on tackling illegal immigration, in his view, which as we know has been a really contentious issue and itself. isles. contentious issue and itself. alex fors h contentious issue and itself. alex forsyth there _ at the cbi conference in birmingham. an immigration hearing in london is considering

whether a woman who joined islamic state militants in syria should have had her british citizenship removed. lawyers for shamima begum argue that she was a victim of trafficking when she travelled to the country at the age ofjust15. she remains in a camp in northern syria, nearly eight years after running away from home in london. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is here. he has been at this special hearing. and again, just remind us of what has been considered here, shamima begum, people remember the name, i am sure, but it is some years ago since she fled this country.- since she fled this country. first, it is worth _ since she fled this country. first, it is worth saying _ since she fled this country. first, it is worth saying that _ since she fled this country. first, it is worth saying that the - since she fled this country. first, it is worth saying that the reason j since she fled this country. first, | it is worth saying that the reason i am here and not outside the court is that this afternoon we all had to leave the court while the court was hearing evidence in secret, so much of what goes on in these court hearings actually happened in our absence, but shamima begum was a 15—year—old when she left in the uk in february 2015 with two school friends. she travelled to the islamic state controlled territory in syria and a very, very quickly

she was married to one of the foreign fighters there, who were part of the islamic state group. she re—emerged four years later when an islamic state collapsed in syria, into a detention camp, and immediately had her british citizenship taken off her by the then home secretary, sajid javid. her lawyers today arguing that that was an overhasty move by such a challenge, just within days of her re—emerging, and they are saying in particular that the home office hasn't considered that she might have been a victim of trafficking for sexual exploitation because she ended up being married to an adult man aged just 15. some of the night's casey, who was one per legal team, in quite an impassioned opening saying that at its heart this case concerns a british child, aged 15, was persuaded, influenced and affected with her friends by a determined and effective isis propaganda machine. but in response, the home office is saying, well, but

is not entirely relevant because what we are considering here is the fact that she poses and they say that when she re—emerged in syria in 2019, she had left only for safety and not because of a genuine disengagement from the group. she gave multiple press interviews and at that time she expressed no remorse. the m15 assessment of her risk is that anyone who has travelled to isis controlled territory could have been radicalised and exposed and in particular that shamima begum's activity prior to and during her travel to syria demonstrated a determination and commitment to aligning with the islamic state group. there was also a little window on some of the evidence that might have been heard in secret, which was that the police had had a report that when khadijah, one of shamima begum's friends, had expressed a desire to come back towards the end of 2015, it seemed that shamima begum was not expressing a desire like that at that time. �* , ., , .,

witness e, the m15 witness, was giving evidence today, most of the questions he was being asked he ended up at some point saying, that may be a question that i can answer enclosed, in other words i cannot tell you the answer to that, but i might be able to tell the panel the answer to it once we go into closed sessions, so pixar quite opaque proceedings. but the case is quite simple. was she a victim of trafficking for sexual expectation or is she a threat to national security, daniel, there are interesting.— security, daniel, there are interesting. security, daniel, there are interestint. . ,, , . ., interesting. thank you very much for now, our interesting. thank you very much for now. our home _ interesting. thank you very much for now, our home affairs _ interesting. thank you very much for. now, our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford. 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 and in it they appear to have discussed all sorts of ideas for the reform of the nhs, most controversially, of course, that suggestion 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 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 has been immediately knocked down by the scottish government, the first minister, nicola sturgeon, telling us that the founding principles of the nhs are not up for discussion, and 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.

james cook fair, r scotland editor. let's pause and take a look at the weather prospects wherever you are in the country. then rich trends me with all the latest details, hello. hello, good afternoon to you, not the most pleasant of days there because we have some wet weather, blustery weather and it feels really cold, temperatures right now in many places underneath this rain band around 5 or 6 degrees. but wet weather continuing to journey north and east, but slowly it is slowing down naturally as we go towards tonight, the rain turning to peter out at the same time, but also we will see a sweep of scales potentially for the coasts of south—west england, plenty of showers here. not quite as cold as last night. that said, parts of scotland could once again see a touch of frost. for tomorrow it shouldn't be quite as windy or is wet in most places. we will see some

rain into eastern scotland and north—west scotland, some windy and showery weather for a time in the south—west of england and the channel islands, but elsewhere spells of sunshine, so probably not feeling quite as cold tomorrow, 7-12 feeling quite as cold tomorrow, 7—12 and actually threw the rest of the week it will turn a bit milder, but we will continue to see some wind and rain at times.

england are off to a flier, at the qatar world cup — after beating iran six goals to two in their opening match. fans had some trouble getting into the match at the khalifa stadium — due to problems with the e—ticketing system before kick off. and after 35 minutes in those that did make it in, saw england take the lead thanks to jude bellingham's header. the 19—year—old rising to meet luke shaw's cross — the pressure had been building ahead of that goal. bukayo saka made it two soon after. raheem sterling with the third before half—time. before saka got his second of the game, not long into the second half. iran pulled one back — then substitute marcus rashford made it five — and jack grealish, also on as a replacement got the sixth — before iran got a late consolation penalty. after ten minutes of added time. manager gareth southgate now with a record nine wins at major tournaments — as england manager. to win by that margin, play as we did for the majority of the game, we have to be very happy, the players looked ready, prepared, without we

wanted to be that type of team. they dealt with the game very well, sticky first—half, lots of stoppages, but we were a real threat, are pressing really good, movement really good. we will have to be right on our game against the states. it is a great start but we will have to be better. so a good win for england — off the mark emphatically — after a long game — 1a minutes of injury time were played in the first half — after a collision involving the iran goalkeeper — alireza beyranvand — which saw him subbed off with concussion. but he was allowed to initially play on. the uk charity headway — had some strong words, over how the incident was handled. luke griggs, the interim chief exec put out a statement shortly after saying... adding 'he was clearly distressed and unfit to continue'. wales are in action too today — as they end a 6a—year world cup wait tonight — when they play the united states...

an estimated 3000 wales fans have travelled to qatar. in 1958 — they made the quarterfinals without winning a game before losing to the eventual champions brazil. for all the players in 2022, they want to make the most of this long awaited opportunity — and the nation is behind them. it isa it is a mixture of emotions, it is incredible, it has been a dream of mine, welsh football has been in my heart since i was seven years old. a mixture of excitement, nerves and most of all pride, just thinking, i mentioned to my dad who obviously i inherited the passion from him and he will be looking down. proud of the last few years today. just enjoying the whole experience. surreal, feels really surreal, yes. what _ surreal, feels really surreal, yes. what are — surreal, feels really surreal, yes. what are your hopes for today's game? fora win, definite. confident? yes. no, iam, we are

confident? yes. no, lam, we are going _ confident? yes. no, lam, we are going to _ confident? yes. no, lam, we are going to win _ confident? yes. no, lam, we are going to win. if confident? yes. no, i am, we are going to win-— confident? yes. no, i am, we are going to win. it is surreal when you see brazilian _ going to win. it is surreal when you see brazilian fans _ going to win. it is surreal when you see brazilian fans and _ going to win. it is surreal when you see brazilian fans and the - going to win. it is surreal when you see brazilian fans and the big - see brazilian fans and the big countries, wales are on the same table as them now, we are ready now. we've waited a long time for this. you can feel the atmosphere, the red shirts _ you can feel the atmosphere, the red shirts everywhere and everyone is having _ shirts everywhere and everyone is having such an exciting day, it is amazing — senegal and the netherlands are in action — for their opening group a match. this is the latest from the al thumama stadium in doha. senegal, the african nations cup holders — are without star man sadio mane — who's injured. they have six clean sheets in their last eight competitive matches. the netherlands missed out on the last world cup in 2018 but made the semifinals — four years before. that's all the sport for now.

at least 160 people have been killed, in a powerful earthquake, which has shaken the indonesian province of west java. officials say at least 56 people have died after a powerful earthquake shook the province of west java. 700 people were being treated for injuries, many of them serious. the five—point—six magnitude quake, was felt, a—hundred kilometres away in the capital, jakarta — where offices were evacuated, in the central business district. valdia bara—putri from the bbc�*s indonesian service is there. ican i can tell you when the earthquake happened, i am i can tell you when the earthquake happened, iam injakarta, i can tell you when the earthquake happened, iaminjakarta,100 kilometres away from the epicentre of the earthquake, the capital city of the earthquake, the capital city of indonesia where i am based with the bbc. when it happened i was working from home on the 31st floor. comedy told your vocation is, the stronger the tremor. indonesia has dozens of earthquakes every year in indonesia about the tremor of this

earthquake is the most intense i have experienced in a long time. the earthquake is a 5.6 richter scale magnitude. it also forces people out of tall buildings, 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. people stayed out for longer in case of another wave of earthquake. the location or the epicentre of the earthquake is more than 100 kilometres from cianjur district in west java province. however, it sent an intense tremor because the location of the earthquake is centred on land. land

earthquakes do not send tsunamis but they rattle the area stronger than an earthquake that is centred in the sea. elkan rahimov is from the international red cross in indonesia — and he explained how his team were responding. asa as a humanitarian actor we are responding across the communities, helping the government. the first days of any disaster of such a scale, all the figures are very preliminary. the most important now is the rescue to make sure to reach out to the people who are trapped. therefore volunteers of the indonesian red cross came together with the government authorities. first aid is provided, health needs met. also emergency shelter provided where needed. it is very important

first to rescue, reach out to those trapped and then we will see what the biggest needs are. an update on the 5.6 magnitude earthquake in indonesia. we have just had a couple of lines through from the rmt, the rail union, of course you will be aware i am sure of the myriad problems and many strikes many people have experienced on the rail network in recent months. , the rmt simply warning of further strikes, months. , the rmt simply warning of furtherstrikes, no months. , the rmt simply warning of further strikes, no dates for you. it wants to one people they are likely to announce further strikes tomorrow, perhaps tomorrow we will get some dates. between the unions and train companies and network rail. the rmt is accusing train

companies are viewed refusing to make their promised written proposals. the secretary general of the rmt reunion, saying they are likely to announce more dates tomorrow. if we get more comment from the trail operating companies are network rail, we will keep you up—to—date. we know about the considerable disruption passengers have been facing, sounds like there is more on that tomorrow. russian forces in southern ukraine have stepped up their shelling of the recently liberated kherson region. officials said the emergency services were searching for possible victims in the rubble of a residential building. the city of kherson remains largely without power or mains water following the withdrawal of russian troops ten days ago. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse has sent this report from there.

a week on from occupation, kherson has started the long process of healing. after eight months of being cut off, this is the wait for food donations. in a life with little food or water, this goes a long way. translation: we can manage things without power. - children are happy, our homes are warm. we feel relatively comfortable. and now we're here in the square, my kid on my shoulders. you see, that is freedom. it's also a chance to restore and reconnect with those who matter most. more than half of the city's 380,000

population had left. those who stayed brought closer by a common goal of survival. how are you? very well, vsyo khorosho. "things are good," he says. we ask how his week of freedom has been. "better than everything else. even though there's no power and water, it's freedom. that's a problem, though. otherwise, things are good and they're going to get better". what is it? he speaks ukrainian. it's eggplant done like shashlik. mm, good? delicious, yeah, delicious. beautiful. dya kuyu. there's an optimism

unaffected by the russians being 600 metres away. kherson's liberation means russian forces only occupy territory there, on the eastern bank of the dnipro river. but this isn't a clear boundary — they left some soldiers behind. and it's also not clear whether the ukrainian counter—offensives will slow just because winter is setting in. kherson's recovery will carry on regardless. james waterhouse, bbc news, kherson. more than 12,000 albanians have arrived in the uk on small boats in the last year, but despite the numbers, we rarely hear their stories. the bbc has spoken to a man who arrived in the uk illegally, but was rapidly deported, one of a tiny number to have been sent home in this way. newsnight�*s international correspondentjoe inwood met him in the albanian capital of tirana.

it is a dangerous and illegal journey filmed by a man we're calling artan. we're hiding his identity as he fears reprisals from the people smugglers. we've come to meet him in the albanian capital, tirana, to hear about his journey to the uk and experience as one of the very few to have been sent back so quickly on a deportation flight. the money had been agreed in advance via a uk whatsapp number. we paid £3,500 each. it was cold, stormy and incredibly scary. it took us almost an hour to get the dinghy going, by which time traffickers had all left. he saw for himself the cooperation between british and french authorities as they made the crossing. a french police boat appeared 20 minutes into ourjourney. they accompanied us from a distance of maybe 200 metres. they stayed for three hours, maybe longer. then we crossed into uk waters

and called the british police. the huge rise in the number of albanians arriving on the kent coast has caused furious debate in the uk, with the home secretary controversially calling it an invasion. less often discussed is why people are coming over. to answer that, there is really only one place to start. we're travelling north to a region called kukes, just on the border with kosovo. this is the part of albania where many of the young men and women who've left for the uk have come from. indeed, so many have left from the region, there are now real concerns around depopulation. you can see it at the local football club. the under—17s team is full of players. by the time they get to under 19s, they can barely put out a side.

so many can't follow their dream here. so they choose to go outside the country. people will look around on this, you have a lovely stadium here and a good pitch. to the outsider, it seems nice. what is the problem? the problem is people. people is so bad. no future here, no future. translation: it's painful to talk about it. _ it touches us all, straight in our hearts. it scratches our wounds. my own children have left. we are left alone here. it's a huge problem. there are undoubtedly problems with the uk asylum system where applications can take years to process. but according to a leading opposition mp, there are also issues of corruption in albania made worse by government inaction. if you are born poor in albania, you remain poor independently of how much you work. and we should acknowledge that as politicians. it's linked with high corruption, especially

in the north of the country. most people who have arrived in small boats claim asylum. artan did not. within five days, he was being deported. translation: i was told, tomorrow l morning you will arrive in tirana. l at that moment i was so upset i can't describe it. i have never had any problems with the authorities. i have never broken the law. although presumably at that point you realised you had committed a crime because you'd entered the uk illegally? yes, that's understandable. and ultimately, that's why they deported us. but nevertheless, we had hoped that they might show us some compassion. there is really very little all sides agree on in this increasingly tempestuous debate, except maybe that the current system is not working for anyone except the people smugglers. joe inwood, bbc news, albania. the headlines on bbc news...

england have won their opening game of the world cup against, a 6—2 victory against iran. the wales match against the usa kicks off at seven o'clock tonight, the start of wales's first world cup campaign for 6a years. at least 160 at least160 people killed in an earthquake which shaken the indonesian province of west java. the unmanned artemis journey ultimately aims to land the unmanned artemis journey ultimately aims to [and people on the moon again.

leroy chiao, former nasa astronaut and commander. sure, this is the first test flight of the space launch system rocket, full on test of the orion spacecraft, these are the instruments that would be used by nasa to return humans eventually to the surface of the moon, hopefully in a sustainable manner. just very recently, several hours ago, reached what we call a perigee to the moon, lowest point of the orbit, 80 miles or so, 120 kilometres and executing a burn, now swinging much further away, tens of thousands of miles, going into a distant orbit. intended to shake down the orion aircraft, put it through its paces, check out its systems, make sure it is going to work.

at the end of the 25—day mission it will come back to earth and re—enter the atmosphere, big test of the heat shield. coming back from the moon, faster than coming back from the space station, 25,000 kilometres per hour from the space station and 50% more than that coming back from the moon, so the speeds are much greater, energy much greater. if the hardware works out then hopefully artemis ii in the next year to a couple of years will launch with humans on board for the first orbital flight around the moon since 1968, since 1968, not true, since 1969, '70, '71. if that works out, that sets the stage for landing humans back on the moon, hopefully that will come about. as we say, no humans on birders, mannequins on board, mannequins

with sensors attached to them. i am assuming that about sending back data and information from the sensors. how much about working out the impact on humans? tell us more. certainly, when you travel into space, even to the space station, you are exposed to higher levels of radiation than you would be here. many other biomedical effects happen as a result of being in the zero gravity or microgravity environment, lots of different changes to the human body and living systems, none good. we try to mitigate those effects through exercise and other countermeasures. the americans on board the orion will measure things the instruments on board the orion will measure things like the radiation environment to see what humans would have been exposed to on a mission like this. that will add to the database of knowledge we have on these kinds of risks. lots of different instrumentation including the mannequins on—board the spacecraft, looks like it is going very well so far. really interesting some

of the things you mentioned there, a little off topic, we introduce you as a former nasa astronaut, you have outlined some of the risks, when you are back in civilian life do you have to constantly monitor your health, do you have to live differently because of all those experiences, because of what your body has been through? do people follow you and your progress? how does that work? there is a voluntary project with nasa, bring us back yearly, do a physical exam, take some measurements, they track the long—term study of astronaut health to see if there are any long—term effects. an obvious one might be cancer, not enough data yet to draw a conclusion on that. we are relatively still protected here in low earth orbit above the space station, or in the past aboard a space shuttle.

really although we have been exposed to higher levels of radiation, so far it does not really look like it has really affected long—term health. i do not have to personally have to do anything differently. you may remember several years ago we started seeing astronauts coming back with changes to their vision. that is still going on, we are still studying that and figuring out what we can do to prevent it or identify what characteristics make some susceptible to it and others not. fascinating, so much to talk to you about. a quick final thought, i am sure people ask you all the time, in terms of the project we brought you on to talk about, the idea that ultimately this will get humans back to the moon fascinating, so much to talk to you about. the idea that ultimately this will get humans back to the moon again, for you, what is the fundamental point of that? is there scientific learning that is a benefit from that or do think there's an element ofjust geopolitics and wanting to be

another nation to get people, and more women up to the moon in particular and so on? what is going on for you? it is all those things wrapped up, without politics we would not have had a space programme, never had a first moon race, space race to get to the moon. frankly we would not have the programme now so of course the national prestige angle. and of course inspiring the next generation of young people. that is wrapped up into it but there are scientific reasons for going back and exploring the moon. one of them, a little out there but helium—3 is a potential fusion fuel source on the moon. practical or what i call operational reasons for going back, if you are going to send a crew to mars, practice on the moon to train your astronauts, test hardware, make sure it will work before you send it all the way to mars. it takes six months one way to go to mars when the planets are lined up, the reason you do all of this on the moon, the moon is only three to four days,

close by, if there is an incident you can get your crew back quickly. a former nasa astronaut, leroy chiao. paris has switched on its traditional christmas light display — this year, with an energy—efficient twist. it's part of a national effort to consume less electricity, as naomi choy smith reports. the countdown to christmas is on at the champs—elysees. but this year, the city of lights is shining just a little less brightly. these energy—efficient champagne coloured led bulbs will be turned off earlier every night and run a week shorter than usual, consuming half the amount of electricity as last year's display. i saw one of the signs said that they're using less electricity this year, which is really cool, and i think they've also closed the road this year,

which is incredible, so it's like they're sort of making these strides towards, i guess, a greenerfuture, which is good to see. it's all part of what the french government calls sobriety measures, aimed at reducing electricity use to avoid blackouts or shortages this winter and meet its climate targets. translation: these new schedules are a way for us to show solidarity, i to be thrifty, to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. it's a similar, subdued picture across europe. as russia's war in ukraine squeezes energy supplies and sends prices soaring. shops are also dimming displays and citizens are encouraged to turn down the heat, as europe tries to conserve energy without dimming the magic of christmas. naomi choy smith, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich.

not the most pleasant of theirs out there for many, cold start, where we have seen: rail, feeling chilly. —— scene cloud and rain. down to minus five celsius in places. parts of northern scotland hasn't risen above freezing all day long. outbreaks of rain, brisk wind, still with us if you are heading out on the roads in the next hour or two, the stripe of wet weather, 5—7 at best, the temperature. low pressure centre drifting eastwards, the rain stalling across parts of northern england, northern ireland, southern scotland, petering out. we see the squeeze on the isobars. the potential we can see gale—force wind tonight, with some heavy showers,
