got the win as well, so it's just a really special day. the iranian players took a stand against their own government by refusing to sing the national anthem. and there was anger over a decision to ban all players from wearing armbands. and wales prepare for their world cup game, starting in an hour's time —

their first in over 60 years. also on the programme: a huge earthquake hits the indonesian island ofjava — 162 people are reported killed so far. the prime minister rejects reports he wants to renegotiate the brexit deal to have closer trade ties with europe. and the pioneering treatment bringing hope to disabled children, giving them the ability to walk. and coming up in sportsday later in the hour on the bbc news channel: we'll have all todays world cup news in qatar — including the match between senegal and netherlands in group a. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. england's world cup campaign has begun with a convincing 6—2 victory over iran,

their highest ever score in an opening world cup match. but the tournament has been surrounded by controversy, and politics was felt on the pitch before the game even began. iran's players refused to sing their country's national anthem in protest at the regime and their treatment of protestors. and england captain harry kane didn't wear the one love armband in support of lgbt rights after players from all teams were warned by fifa they could be booked for breaching kit regulations. natalie pirks reports from doha. come on, england! come on, england! fifa had told teams to ignore politics and focus on football. the backdrop to england's opening match made that impossible. opponents iran are enduring deadly protests about women's rights back home. and a row over a simple act of wearing their own anti—discrimination armband bubbled right until kick—off. the only way things get better is if you talk about them, and i think fifa should have realised that.

you should be able to express what you believe. but again, i suppose fifa's tried to bring it back to football. we know that the england team - are behind the one love campaign, so that's good enough. some fans couldn't even get in after fifa's e—ticket system crashed. the same can't be said of iran's. their silence spoke volumes. england took the knee in the one anti—discrimination gesture fifa did allow them and the game finally began. but no sooner had england gone on the attack than there was a sickening clash of heads. a nasty collision between hosseini and beiranvand. ten minutes passed. remarkably, iran's keeper was allowed to play on, concussion protocols seemingly dashed on a whim. finally, the correct decision was made.

it was after that, in the air—conditioned khalifa, england turned up the heat. and it was the cool head of a teenager in his world cup debut who got their campaign off to a flyer. what a moment for the 19—year—old. england were beginning to enjoy themselves here and another world cup debutant wanted in on the act. gets it down to saka. another young lion roars at the world cup. the swagger had officially joined the party. looking for sterling... in his third world cup, raheem sterling still had plenty to say. one, two, three and easy for england. perhaps this is england's true golden generation. the second half was just as frenetic — saka simply superb. and saka and sa ka keeps and saka keeps going himself. oh, why wouldn't he? but england's defensive lapses are never too far away. torabi seized his moment. substitution time, no

third goalfor saka, but only three touches needed for rashford. what an introduction. anyone for six? callum wilson was in. playing in grealish. instead, he was selfless. this celebration a promise grealish had made to a young man with cerebral palsy. iran's late penalty was a blip in a match where bellingham was brilliant, saka sensational, and southgate almost satisfied. yeah, i'm a miserable so—and—so. i should be more excited, but i've got to keep the team on the right track, and we will have to be better. i can't describe the feeling, you know, it's amazing. i'm so happy, i'm so proud. yeah, we got the win as well, so it's just a really, really special day. iran are asia's highest ranked side, yet these fans watched them be comprehensively played off the park by england today. bigger challenges await, of course, but after such a negative build—up, england have started in an almost perfect way. natalie pirks, bbc news, qatar.

thousands of england fans have made the journey out to qatar for the world cup but millions up and down the country will be watching the action at home, at work, and in specially built fan zones like the one in manchester, from where our correspondent danjohnson sent this report. this is a fun park manchester style. a warehouse. let's go!— this is a fun park manchester style. a warehouse. let's go! jumping to a steady beat — a warehouse. let's go! jumping to a steady beat of _ a warehouse. let's go! jumping to a steady beat of england _ a warehouse. let's go! jumping to a steady beat of england goals. - steady beat of england goals. cheering this city whereas national pride alongside respect for equality. the sort of issue under question in qatar. i sort of issue under question in qatar. , . ., , ., , sort of issue under question in qatar. , . ., , ., qatar. i must admit, it was a bit of a sore build-up — qatar. i must admit, it was a bit of a sore build-up for _ qatar. i must admit, it was a bit of a sore build-up for me, _ qatar. i must admit, it was a bit of a sore build-up for me, i _ qatar. i must admit, it was a bit of a sore build-up for me, i did - qatar. i must admit, it was a bit of a sore build-up for me, i did know| a sore build—up for me, i did know what to expect, but coming here today and winning 3—0 now has really put me up. i’m today and winning 3-0 now has really ut me u -. �* . , put me up. i'm really feeling it. sunporting _ put me up. i'm really feeling it. supporting england _ put me up. i'm really feeling it. supporting england 100%, - put me up. i'm really feeling it. supporting england 100%, so . put me up. i'm really feeling it. i supporting england 10096, so i'm supporting england 100%, so i'm here, _ supporting england 100%, so i'm here, but— supporting england 100%, so i'm here, but yeah, it has soured it a

died in police custody. she'd been detained for allegedly not wearing her headscarf properly. our correspondent shaimaa khalil reports from doha. it was impossible to escape the politics in this game. in the most —— and the most extraordinary moment came from iran's players, refusing to sing the national anthem, a move that could have serious consequences from them but that is also seen to side with the protesters. even before the match, emotions were high, many with a clear message about why they were here. i’m high, many with a clear message about why they were here. i'm not cheerin: about why they were here. i'm not cheering for _ about why they were here. i'm not cheering for the _ about why they were here. i'm not cheering for the islamic _ about why they were here. i'm not cheering for the islamic republic | cheering for the islamic republic because they represent an islamic republic, i'm here to support my country, my homeland, iran. that republic, i'm here to support my country, my homeland, iran. at the moment, country, my homeland, iran. at the moment. the _ country, my homeland, iran. at the moment, the regime _ country, my homeland, iran. at the moment, the regime are _ country, my homeland, iran. at the moment, the regime are killing - country, my homeland, iran. at the. moment, the regime are killing kids, killing _ moment, the regime are killing kids, killing children. i�*m moment, the regime are killing kids, killing children.— killing children. i'm not coming here to sunport _ killing children. i'm not coming here to support them, - killing children. i'm not coming here to support them, we - killing children. i'm not coming here to support them, we are i killing children. i'm not coming i here to support them, we are just coming _ here to support them, we are just coming here — here to support them, we are just coming here to— here to support them, we are just coming here to be _ here to support them, we are just coming here to be the _ here to support them, we are just coming here to be the voice - here to support them, we are just coming here to be the voice of. coming here to be the voice of people — coming here to be the voice of heaple in— coming here to be the voice of heaple in iran _ coming here to be the voice of people in iran. since _ coming here to be the voice of people in iran. since the - coming here to be the voice of. people in iran. since the protests started. — people in iran. since the protests started. more— people in iran. since the protests started, more than—

our sports editor dan roan joins us now from doha. dan, the world cup is supposed to be the ultimate celebration of football but the opening two days have been rather overshadowed by politics. that's right, fiona. fifa have always tried to keep politics and activism out of the sport and keep the money very much in but as iran proved today during that national anthem, there was a limit to what they can do, especially here at this world cup. fifa's rhetoric has been toughening over recent weeks, and today they played the trump card, the threat of sporting sanctions. no doubt it will have been welcome here by the hosts, but i think certainly among human rights groups, in especially, has ,, tilthinkzalzso 556} ith|nkalsosome be e with the way somewhat disappointed with theway'r the somewhat disappointed with therway" the fa somewhat disappointed with therwayl" the fa and �*associations that the fa and other associations capitulated would very har kane and the m pitch... by harry kane on the on the pitch... by harry kane on the �*captains. on the pitch, was

coming to qatar has involved huge expense, ethical dilemmas the line and do that for our country is incredible. coach, put me in, i'm ready to play. wales's opponents aren't

a footballing superpower, but the us are ranked higher by fifa, and arrive with their own point to prove. it's a very young team, high—energy, a bit of a swagger, which is somewhat surprising, considering all but one of them have not played in a world cup before. but they play at big clubs. a red wall of 3000 fans is ready to help wales resist as everything builds towards the biggest moment in welsh football for over half a century. here we are inside the stadium, the red wall ready moment it isa it is a moment, however, in history. it is a moment, however, where some feel conflicted. gareth bale, like the other european captains, won't be wearing that one love armband in support of diversity because of the risk of a yellow card. and we are aware this evening some welsh female fans have had a �* bucket hat confiscated by rainbow bucket hat confiscated by guards because they were

security guards because they were told they would not be allowed that within fifa the be that: welcome. that comment... to watch a welsh side who are currently 19th in the world rankings. our wales correspondent tomos morgan is in cardiff tonight. how many fans are we expecting to watch from where you are, tomos? it isa it is a crowd here in the depot venue in the capital's city centre. these people have been waiting for a while. we have been waiting for a while. we have been waiting for a while. we have been waiting for 64 years for wales to make it to a world cup once again, and wales are being led by gareth bale, currently the most decorated british player playing across the british player playing across the british isles, and i think what the people here want is, there is expectation, there is hope because after qualifying for euro 2016,

getting to the semifinals then, reaching the euros last year, now making it to the world cup, the fans here are in good spirits. in the us, they have got a tough opponent. they've never beaten them before. they've never beaten them before. they drew to them two years ago. as i say, spirits are high, and why not? because these opportunities don't come around very often. we could just about hear you. it sounds exciting. thank you very much. for insights on the big issues at the world cup, you can listen to the newscast podcast with adam fleming and bbc political editor chris mason. they'll be talking about the armbands row, allegations of fake fans, and kicking off the newscast sweepstake. search for newscast on bbc sounds. the time is 18:15. our top story this evening: an easy win for england in their first world cup match, but there's political controversy on and off the pitch. still to come.

nhs leaders in scotland discuss the idea of wealthier patients paying for treatment as the health service battles huge backlogs. coming up in sportsday in the next 15 minutes on the bbc news channel: they are off the pace in the scottish premiership, and have had a terrible champions league campaign, and giovanni van bronkhorst has paid the price — he's been sacked by rangers. an earthquake has struck the main indonesian island of java, leaving at least 162 people dead and hundreds injured. buildings have been reduced to rubble and rescuers are frantically trying to find survivors. the 5.6 magnitude quake struck cianjur town in west java. the area where the quake struck is densely populated and prone to landslides. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head reports.

as the shaking subsided, shocked residents stood out on the streets of cianjur to take in the damage done to their homes. it was extensive. by normal measurements this was not an especially powerful earthquake. but it was shallow, close to the earth's surface. enough to cause hundreds of buildings to collapse. they brought the injured to the main hospital in the area in any way they could. some carried on floor mats. others in the backs of trucks. this child in the arms of a soldier. and in a constant, chaotic stream of ambulances. with after—shocks still being felt, they were left on tarpaulins put down outside the hospital, with nurses treating them as best they could where they lay. all our staff have come, said this hospital spokeswoman, people off shift, those on days off. all of them. officials have been trying

to coordinate rescue efforts for places which have been cut off. we still have one area that has not been evacuated, said the district chief. the road is completely blocked by a landslide. earthquakes are not unusual here, among indonesia's so—called ring of fire. but this one appears to have been more destructive than most. so many lives lost, so many homes to rebuild. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. our correspondent valdya baraputri is at the site of the earthquake for us now. what can you tell us? right now i am at a regional hospital in cianjur and people injured after the earthquake were taken here and the hospital is overflowing. you can see

behind me rows of tents outside the hospital building and there are emergency tents like this on each side of the hospital and people are being cared for here with very minimal lighting. but i can see medical and rescue workers working around the clock treating people on the spot. people with head injuries, broken bones. hundreds of people, children and adults, old people, being taken care of at this hospital right now. the situation is very harrowing. i can hear a baby crying behind me, ambulances are coming and going to pick up and deliver people. but many people are still trapped because the earthquake triggered a landslide and isolated villages.

the prime minister has quashed speculation that he wants to renegotiate the brexit deal to forge cloiser trade ties with the eu. today date rishi sunak denied he wanted to open the door to further immigration to fill vacantjobs and boost productivity. our business editor simonjack has more. this 200—year—old family business in dudley makes roof tiles using nine energy—hungry kilns. add that to rising wages and customers feeling the same pressure, and the outlook is tough. i think when we project forward we are very worried. the environment that we are selling into is going to become more challenging. if we've got to put our prices up to reflect all the cost pressures that we're facing there comes a point where people just can't afford to buy your products. 30 miles away, the prime minister told business he'd stabilised

the economy and was optimistic about the future. our most pressing task when it comes to growth is stability and controlling inflation. but that will never be the limit of our ambition. the more we innovate, the more we will grow. but business leaders are increasingly talking of a need to review post—brexit immigration and trade policy. but today the prime minister squashed any notion of a rethink. under my leadership, the united kingdom will not pursue any relationship with europe that relies on alignment with eu laws. now, i voted for brexit, i believe in brexit and i know that brexit can deliver and is already delivering enormous benefits and opportunities for the country. you can't move around here without seeing or hearing the word growth. and the prime minister came today to talk about innovation, driving the growth in the jobs and the industries of the future. but for most people here, they have much more pressing concerns. high energy bills, of course,

there's a chronic labour shortage and a big dip in trade with the eu. and it's that short term growth that many feel isn't getting enough attention. the question is how on earth do we grow? and that's why you're starting to see people explore things like immigration or regulation or planning reform or even our relationship with europe, because we need other ways to get growing when we can'tjust rely on tax cuts and low interest rates bosses also said big decisions would hinge on how much help they got with energy bills when current support expires in april. how much recruitment we can do, how much longer term investment we can do. our profitability targets, everything for our businesses is really key around the energy costs. on that, the prime minister said, wait and see. in all, there are still more questions than answers for businesses already under strain and nervous about the future. simonjack, bbc news, birmingham.

shamima begum's lawyers have told a court that she was a victim of human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation. ms begum travelled to syria in 2015 and had her citizenship stripped on security grounds in 2019. a five—day hearing is considering a challenge against the removal of her uk citizenship. the home office insist she continues to pose a threat to national security. daniel sandford is here. what can you tell us about what was said in court? . . you tell us about what was said in court? , , ., ., , court? this is one of the highest security courts _ court? this is one of the highest security courts and _ court? this is one of the highest security courts and we _ court? this is one of the highest security courts and we had - court? this is one of the highest security courts and we had an i court? this is one of the highest. security courts and we had an m15 witness giving evidence from behind a kurtain and lawyers for shamima begum said that she should have been considered as a child victim of trafficking for sexual exploitation because although she loved the uk with school friends and travelled on her own to turkey, she was then smuggled across the border into syria and within days of arriving in

syria and within days of arriving in syria aged 15 she was married to an aduu syria aged 15 she was married to an adult islamic state group fighter and was pregnant very soon afterwards. her lawyers argue that the then home secretary sajid javid was too quick to take away her british citizenship when she re—emerged from islamic state territory in 2019 and should have thought about her as a victim of exploitation and trafficking. but the home of the say this is not a case of trafficking but about national security and protecting people in britain from those people returning from islamic state group and the m15 officer when pressed about this said well victims can also be a threat as well. nhs leaders in scotland have discussed introducing a two tier health service which would see wealthier patients pay for treatment. the idea was mentioned in draft minutes of a meeting of scotland health board chief executives in september as the nhs struggles with long waiting lists

and staff vacancies. our scotland editor james cook has more. the national health service is struggling. in scotland and across the uk. and now we have a glimpse into top—level discussions about how to respond, with senior nhs leaders given the green light to consider reform. the most controversial idea mooted in the minutes is designing a two tier system where those who can afford to, go private. other suggestions include cutting back on state funded prescriptions and sending patients home from hospital earlier, even if that means they are at greater risk. but the first minister says any talk of privatising the nhs is nonsense. i will be absolutely crystal clear, as the democratically elected first minister of the country, that the founding principles of our national health service, that it is a universal service, free at the point of use, publicly funded, publicly delivered for all, these principles are not

up for debate. but do nhs bosses here have confidence in ministers and especially in the health secretary hamza yusuf, visiting this hospital in fife today? the minutes of the meeting also highlighted concern that some scottish government suggestions are divorced from reality because of an absence of clinical input. and they talk about a disconnect between the pressure felt by clinicians on the one hand, and the message from ministers on the other. and this health expert says it is notjust the nhs in scotland which is struggling. all across the uk i think the nhs is under really visible strain at the moment. difficulties in accessing care, difficulties with finance, difficulty in attracting staff and giving them good enough terms and conditions that they stay. i think these conversations were in scotland, i do not know the details, but people are thinking more about radical options.

and no wonder because the summary of the discussions of nhs leaders concludes the fundamental model of health care is not working for us. james cook, bbc news, glasgow. every year 200,000 babies around the world are born with clubfoot, which means they have twisted feet. treatment in early childhood can be highly successful, but without it a child faces a lifetime of pain and difficulty walking. in senegal, only 20 percent of cases get treated, but experts there have perfected a technique that is transforming the lives of older children too, as our global health correspondent naomi grimley reports. at 14, sirinya relies on his mother to take him to clinic, but she'll do whatever it takes for a son who was born with both feet twisted inwards. he has clubfoot, a congenital condition affecting one in 800. this is how he used to walk. he's always dreamed of being a footballer.

translation: some people said he wouldn't walk, that he was incurable. in school, kids teased him about his feet. one time he refused to go to class for three days. it caused me real heartache. senegalese medics are among those leading the way in treating older children using this so—called ponseti method. before, a child who'd already learnt 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. it was the original idea of this treatment, which helps to manoeuvre the feet to face forwards. the medical team rely on word of mouth to get parents to bring their babies in. translation: so this child is only 13 days old.

this is her second cast. so this means she's 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 clubfoot 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'll 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, bbc news, dakar. and good luck to him. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. we had more rain today and some

localised flooding on some roads. the rainfall this month has been very wet across eastern areas of the uk. more than twice the amount of the november average up in aberdeenshire. the reason for these large rainfall totals in the east is this high pressure stretching across northern europe effectively stopping low pressure moving through. looking at the atlantic we have by low pressure is set to move in following the same kind of pattern. becoming very slow moving and bringing quite a lot of rain. the low pressure today will slowly ease to a degree. the main becoming lighter and a bit patchy. cold in scotland with patches of frost. tomorrow the remains of the same area of low pressure and most of the rain across eastern areas. it continues to be quite windy with showers across
