hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy, this is outside source. more controversy on and off the pitch on day two of the qatar world cup. seven european teams ditch their plans to wear armbands in support of gay rights after fifa threatened to penalise players. while the iranian team refused to sing the country's national anthem, in support of anti—government protesters back home. iran went on to lose their opening match to england, two goals to england's six. but an historic day for wales, which returns to a world cup for the first time since 1958 — the team has just kicked off against the usa. we'll be live in doha and get the reaction from welsh and american fans.
7:01 pm
also in the programme... over 160 people have died in a powerful earthquake in indonesia — over 700 people are injured, many are stuck under rubble. translation: all of our medical. personnel, including those on days off and out of shift, have come on duty. for medicine, we have enough of it as we've got support from the local health agency. we are just hoping there will be no more aftershocks. and the who warns millions of ukrainians are facing a life—threatening winter because of russia's invasion — the country's energy infrastructure is coming under constant attack. let's start with the world cup. england have opened their campaign with a rousing victory over iran — defeating them 6—2. and it's an historic day for wales who end a 64 year world cup wait as they play the united states. that match will be
7:02 pm
kicking off shortly. these are pictures of fans arriving a short while ago. the bbc spoke to former wales international player, robert earnshaw. as you're thinking about this, you're in the playground, in the street kicking the ball around before you even become a professional, you are thinking, you know, going through the scenario, playing in the world cup, kicking the ball, scoring a goal, defending, whatever it is — you do that as a kid, and now they'll be the ones as players with that excitement and build up now to just be like, "wow, this is it, this is the world cup, i'm playing in the world cup." the last time wales played in the world cup in 1958 — they reached the quarter finals, losing to brazil, who went on to become the eventual champions. as for the us, this match marks its return after failing to qualify for the 2018 world cup. we know that more than 2,500 wales fans are at the match — let's hear from some of them.
7:03 pm
it's a mixture of excitement, nervous, and most of all pride. we had to come for this one. as garreth says, "we can die happy now." we've booked off for three weeks from work, so let's hope we're i all the way to the final. it's also been a day dominated by issues off the pitch. one controversy is the one love armband — it represents support for lgbt rights. captains, including england's harry kane and wales' gareth bale, will not be wearing the armband during their games — despite having planned to do so. this is why — the teams' governing bodies said this... we've been hearing from jack murley, the host of the bbc�*s lgbt sport podcast. to football fans, it very much feels like fifa forced the hand of these european federations. there's a lot of disquiet from the federations and their various statements, essentially saying, "we told fifa we wanted to do
7:04 pm
this back in september, we didn't hear anything back — but from our point of view, we just couldn't risk losing star players for bookings over this." now some folks are saying, "what good is a protest if the moment that the going gets tough, you choose to back down?" others are saying that football players shouldn't be put in this position — no one's happy, all very messy, and yet again, we're not talking about events on the pitch, but events off it. and this is the view from the welsh first minister, mark drakeford. today, the ground rules changed, and fifa were threatening sanctions that would've affected individual players, penalising players — and that simply isn't fair. it's one thing for the football association to take a hit — it's quite different if you're talking about individuals. and this is part of a wider issue — qatar's troubling human rights record. we know that lgbtq people can be arrested, imprisoned, and even sentenced to death if they take part in same—sex sexual activity.
7:05 pm
and there's been allegations that migrant workers hired to work on world cup related infrastucture projects died or suffered abuse, despite assurances safety standards had improved. this was in germany earlier today — hundreds of volunteers lit 20,000 candles to raise awareness of qatar's migrant worker fatalities. a here from the secular general of embassy international. we a here from the secular general of embassy international.— a here from the secular general of embassy international. we need to understand that _ embassy international. we need to understand that football _ embassy international. we need to understand that football can - embassy international. we need to understand that football can be - embassy international. we need to understand that football can be a l understand that football can be a fantastic way for people to come together. but that can only be done if we understand, if we owned the human rights of everybody, including lgbt people, including the migrant workers, including the athletes of iran. so i'm begging the fans — please, think of the risks so they can offer you that game.
7:06 pm
let's cross live over the dough hot and lucy hawkins —— dough half. 50 and lucy hawkins —— dough half. sr many controversies off the pitch and lucy hawkins —— dough half. srs many controversies off the pitch as well as the action taking place today. one thing you haven't mentioned today is ahead of the england and iran game, there were real problems for the england fans getting into the stadium because of their ticketing app crashing. imagine you paid £850 and £150 for a ticket, you've arrived about three hours early to the stadium and you can't get in because the app has crashed and you can't show your ticket. so incredibly frustrating for those england fans who missed the beginning of the game. they got in but their anger and frustration was soothed somewhat by the comprehensive thrashing that they gave iran, winning 6—2. all eyes
7:07 pm

7:14 pm
outside the main hospital. here's a spokersperson. translation: all of our medical. personnel, including those on days off and out of shift, have come on duty. for medicine, we have enough of it as we've got support from the local health agency. we're just hoping there will be no more aftershocks. we know a hospital has been damaged, and this appears to show damage to a school. in total, over 5,000 people have been displaced, and more than 2,000 homes damaged. many people are trapped under collapsed buildings. here's a city official. translation: a lot of houses| were destroyed in the villages, and we need heavy equipment for that — and a lot of roads were cut off — we're still gathering data for that. many people have died. the quake struck at a shallow depth ofjust ten kilometres, and was felt over 100 kilometres away here in the capitaljakarta. many people were working in high—rise buildings as the tremors started, and rushed out. let's hearfrom residents there.
7:15 pm
translation: i was working as . normal, doing reports in the office. usually we could feel the building moving when someone walks in the building — butjust now, it was so strong, as if someone had pushed me. translation: we're used to this in jakarta. - but people were so nervousjust now, so we also panicked. in cianjur, power is out and water supplies are affected. valdya baraputri has this update from the scene. so right now, i'm at a regional hospital in cianjur district — people who were injured after the earthquake are taken here and the hospital is absolutely overflowed. you can see behind me there are rows of tents outside the hospital building. there are emergency tents like this on each side of the hospital wing. like this on each side of the hospitalwing. people like this on each side of the hospital wing. people are being taken here with very minimal lighting — however i can see that
7:16 pm
medical and rescue workers here are working around the clock, treating people on the spot. people with head injuries, broken bones, and they are on ivs. hundreds of people here — children, adults, older people — are being taken care 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. however, many people are still trapped because the earthquake triggered a landslide and isolated —— in isolated villages. let's turn to ukraine now — the world health organization has warned that ukraine's health system is "facing its darkest days in the war so far". the who also called for a "humanitarian health corridor" to be created to all areas of ukraine. let's hear from the who's europe
7:17 pm
regional director, who's in kyiv. this winter will be life—threatening for millions of people in ukraine. the devastating energy crisis, the deepening mental health emergency, constraints on humanitarian access and the risk of viral infections will make this winter a formidable test for the ukraine health system and the ukraine people — but also for the world and its commitment to support ukraine. the country is facing a permacrisis on top of a permacrisis, brought on by the war and the pandemic. half of ukraine's energy infrastructure is either damaged or destroyed. this is already having knock—on effects on the health system and on the people's health. put simply — this winter will be about survival. more on that speech by dr hans kluge. he said that the who had verified 703 attacks on health infrastructure since russia invaded
7:18 pm
ukraine nine months ago. he said such attacks are a "breach of international humanitarian law and the rules of war". he also said ten million people — around quarter of the population — are without power. and that this was particularly dangerous as temperatures are expected to reach as low as —20 celsius. he said he expected 2—3 million people to leave their homes in search of warmth and safety, making them more exposed to respiratory illnesses such as covid, pneumonia and flu. our correspondentjessica parker is also in kyiv. something the who was speaking about is how the cold temperatures are setting in as we get to winter — we see first snow in kyiv here, as well — and the damage to the energy infrastructure is, of course, also of concern given how vital it is to provide energy to health services. and dr hans kluge, the who's regional director for europe, was also speaking about how those colder temperatures can
7:19 pm
of course lead to more respiratory infections, of course, for people across the country, as well as a number of other conditions. so i think the who is really trying to flag, as others have, those concerned about what winter could mean notjust for the conflict, but actually the health of people in every ukraine, as well. —— in every ukraine, as well. —— every day ukraine. let's focus now on the situation in southern ukraine. un inspectors are due to visit the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, to assess the extent of the damage from recent shelling. we have heard from france, but also russia — both concerned over safety. more than a dozen blasts have been heard in the past two days at the site. the ukrainian and russian authorities are blaming each other for the attacks. the head of the un nuclear watchdog has condemned the latest shelling. rafael grossi said the attack was another close call, with shells exploding close
7:20 pm
to nuclear safety and security systems at the plant. he said... in the past hour, iaea have tweeted... ever since russia seized control of the plant in march, there have been multiple reports of shelling at the site. zaporizhzhia nuclear plant lies on the front line. russia annexed the zaporizhzhia region in september but has since been pushed back on the battlefield by ukrainian forces. this is not the first visit to the site by un nuclear experts. they carried out their first inspection in september, accompanied by russian soldiers,
7:21 pm
and found the integrity of the plant had been "violated several times". we can hearfrom the president of ukraine's state nuclear regulator, petro kotin. the site actually has protection. but any protection can be broken, that is what mr gross is saying, and we support him in this evaluation of the event. —— mrgrossi. and you know, it's absolutely illegal, shelling on the civilian nuclear power plant, and it is understood, and it is against all common agreements of international whatever, any regulatory rules. and if we have this shelling, of course it can go to closer to the reactor, and it could damage finally the reactor. and then it could be a nuclear disaster as radiation comes from there. it's notjust the ukrainians who are concerned though.
7:22 pm
the head of russia's rosatom state atomic corporation has also warned of the precariousness of the plant. he said... let's head east now — russian forces have stepped up their shelling against the recently liberated region of kherson. russian forces withdrew from kherson city ten days ago. but much of the kherson region still remains under russian military control. a ukrainian official said one person has died and three people have been injured from the recent shelling. our correspondentjames waterhouse is in kherson. 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 counteroffences will slow just
7:23 pm
because winter is setting in. these are pictures in space, the capsule is flying hundred 30 km of the moon, and took pictures. as it returned, the spacecraft sent this picture from the lack of earth. here's doctorjennifer millard, an astronomer and presenter of the awesome astronomy podcast. the artemis is our _ awesome astronomy podcast. tie: artemis is our return to the moon. it's something we haven't done for 50 years since the days of apollo, and the mission so far is going absolutely swimmingly, so we're very pleased with how it's progressing. artemis won, this mission, is a test run, so it's a dry run. we needed to fly the rocket to see whether it would actually work, and of course it beautifully. now we are testing
7:24 pm
the capsule to make sure the conditions on board will be suitable for people, so is the temperature 0k? will the for people, so is the temperature ok? will the radiation levels be acceptable? we are also testing maneuverability and the solar panels, and when this capital returns to earth, we are testing that heat shield. because coming into the moon from the international space station, you're coming at much greater velocities. that means you'll be heating up to much greater temperatures. you'll be heating up to much greater temperatures-— temperatures. next, let's hear from former astronaut _ temperatures. next, let's hear from former astronaut chris _ temperatures. next, let's hear from former astronaut chris hadfield. - temperatures. next, let's hear from former astronaut chris hadfield. his| former astronaut chris hadfield. his 20 year career in space saw him commandeer the international space station. it’s commandeer the international space station. 3 . commandeer the international space station. �*, , ., ., commandeer the international space station. ., ., , . station. it's been a long time since a vehicle that _ station. it's been a long time since a vehicle that could _ station. it's been a long time since a vehicle that could carry _ station. it's been a long time since a vehicle that could carry people i a vehicle that could carry people was that— a vehicle that could carry people was that close to the surface of the moon _ was that close to the surface of the moon to— was that close to the surface of the moon. to me that is hugely exciting. when _ moon. to me that is hugely exciting. when i _ moon. to me that is hugely exciting. when i was _ moon. to me that is hugely exciting. when i was a — moon. to me that is hugely exciting. when i was a boy — that's when people first went to the moon, so exploration and settlement always takes _ exploration and settlement always takes time. to me, it's wonderful we have the _ takes time. to me, it's wonderful we have the technology now to be able to get _ have the technology now to be able to get that close and the doors at its opening and some of those

northwards across northeast england, southeast scotland. some patchy rain elsewhere, some areas of cloud, maybe some mist and murk for parts of the midlands and east wales. and as you can see from the pockets of blue, particularly in scotland, a touch of frost for some, but probably not as cold tomorrow morning as it was this morning. there will be actually a decent amount of dry weather around through tomorrow, increasing amounts of sunshine, too. but some rain into eastern scotland, heavy downpours for a time in northwest scotland, and the winds only slowly easing in the southwest of england and the channel islands — we will continue to see a few showers here. afternoon temperatures between 6—12 celsius. moving on into wednesday, here comes another area of low pressure from the atlantic, this frontal system throwing another belt of heavy rain north eastwards. so some quite soggy weather for many of us as we go through the day on wednesday, but behind that, the skies clear, so we will see some spells of sunshine, but also, some hefty showers for northern ireland, parts of wales, the southwest of england where the winds will pick up once again. temperatures, well, maybejust
7:28 pm
a touch higher — 7—13 celsius. now for thursday, we do it all over again — yet another band of rain pushing in from the west. some of this rain will be heavy, the winds will be quite blustery either side of our rain band, there will be a mix of sunny spells and showers. but actually, most of us by this stage, up into double digits. and as we move through friday, and particularly into the weekend, we will feel the effects of some milder air wafting up across the uk. but there will still be some wind and rain at times.

hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy, this is outside source. more controversy on and off the pitch on day 2 of the qatar world cup. seven european teams ditch their plans to wear armbands in support of gay rights — after fifa threatened, to penalise players. while the iranian team refused to sing the country's national anthem, in support of anti—government protesters back home. and the pioneering treatment bringing hope to disabled children, they went on to lose that game, but we will speak to a protester at that game. a historic day for whales, returning to a broad cup of the first time since 1958. the team is
7:31 pm
right now playing against the united states. also in the programme, over 160 people have died in a powerful earthquake over 700 people are injured, many are under rubble. and the pioneering treatment bringing hope to disabled children, giving them the ability to walk. more now on our top story: the world cup, which has already proven to be highly political. for many iranian fans — the drama on the pitch in the opener against england — was of secondary concern to events unfolding in their home country. following two months of protests a brutal crackdown is under way. this footage shows scenes in the kurdish majority city of javanroud — appearing to show protesters fleeing what appears to be live ammunition. rights groups say 13 protestors have been killed by iranian security forces over the last 24 hours in kurdish areas of west and northwest iran.
7:32 pm
this was in the minds of many of the thousands of iranian expats who attended today's game. some iranian fans waved the lion flag of iran — the national symbol under the pre—revolutionary government and a symbol of restistance. others danced to the prominent "baraye" protest song, and chanted the woman life freedom slogan of the protests. one fan in qatar spoke of the anguish she felt at watching events unfold in iran. i cry every single night for the life i see lost. i cry for the children. i cry for them. that i can be the voice. i cry for them, i cry for people who are dying. since the wave of protests began fellepuirgg the murder of 22—year—old woman, mahsa amini, in the custody of tehran's religious police, leading iranian sportspeople have
7:33 pm
been among the most prominent critics of the regime. iranian footballer icon ali karimi has been outspoken in his support for the protesters on social media and has been become a figurehead for the opposition. iran's record goal—scorer and a legendary figure in the country announced last week he would boycott the tournament in solidarity. this has put pressure on the current men's iranian football team. many opponents of the regime criticised the players for meeting with iran's president. ebrahim raisi ahead of the tournament, leading many fans to question whether they should support the team. here's maryam shojaei — sister of the former iran national team captain, masoud shojaei. this is the first time that people are not following as they did during the past few decades that's the first time there is a division to
7:34 pm
the team. they were friendly so that made irani still very angry. they are not going to protect them. but on the eve of iran's first game — iran's captain ehsan hajsafi made the decision to speak out about events in his home country. translation: we have to accept the conditions| in our country are not right, our people are not happy. we are here, but it does not mean that we should not be there voice or must not respect them. whatever we have is for them and we must fight. we must perform the best we can and to score goals and present the bereaved people of a round results. i hope the conditions change to accept the people. before kick—off the islamic republic's national anthem received a hostile reception from a number of iran fans — and a muted one from the players whistles were heard around the stadium. the players themselves declined to sing the anthem.
7:35 pm
the bbc has seen video of fans protesting and booing during the anthem, but due to fifa broadcast restrictions we cannot show it. earlier we spoke to former iranian footballer dariush yazdani who commended his team for not singing the national anthem. it's been more than 40 years, you know, all the actors, you now to my football players, athletes, they were under pressure, and they are still under pressure, so, but, i'm happy that they picked the right side and they decided not to, you know, sing the national anthem and they supported our people. there were visible acts of protest in the stadium by iran fans against the actions of the yehran regime. numerous shirts and banners displayed the protest slogan women, life, freedom. another banner read "this is not iran's national team, it is the islamic republic's team."
7:36 pm
there are security concerns, when british and iranian women who organised a protest in the stadium at today's game expressed concern that the qatar a's would be cooperating with security forces and that agents of the regime were present in the stadium. brute that agents of the regime were present in the stadium. scared of the news that we heard from qatar, like officials think that they are going to check us thoroughly, so i had to cover my shirt, so we all covered up, we went inside and we found other people but the same idea being there the voice of the iranian people, so we find each other and we are chanting throughout the game, we started chanting, but, unfortunately, they have sent people from iran to
7:37 pm
silence us. there are thousands of them, thousands of them throughout them, thousands of them throughout the match. i was disheartened. i was so... i was almost crying. i honestly didn't know what to do, they had so much. as an iranian, it is easy to spot them. whenever if he started chanting, they where silencing us. it is clear they don't want us to be heard. in trying to pick a fight with us when i was actually happy that england scored. they were coming to me trying to attack me saying are you and england fanned? to try to pick a fight and intimidate me.— intimidate me. that was one protester speaking _ intimidate me. that was one protester speaking to - intimidate me. that was one protester speaking to me - intimidate me. that was one protester speaking to me a l intimidate me. that was one - protester speaking to me a little earlier, just to let you know, and the current match going on between whales in the united states, there

has been one goal. the usa have scored, i believe. 1—0 to the usa against whales. we will keep you posted. let'sjust against whales. we will keep you posted. let's just return to events surrounding that i ran match against england earlier today. how have football fans and i ran been responding to the country's defeat, let's speak to our correspondent. what information do we have? what do we know at the moment? the what information do we have? what do we know at the moment?— we know at the moment? the internet is severely restricted _ we know at the moment? the internet is severely restricted right _ we know at the moment? the internet is severely restricted right now, - we know at the moment? the internet is severely restricted right now, at - is severely restricted right now, at this a little bit harder to get information, therefore where the football match began until very, very recently. people have been cheering for england because, as he said, they say that this is not their national team this is islamic republic team. some people were happy and thought that it was a nice
7:39 pm
gesture from the iranian national team not to sing the anthem, as you know, this has been a trend lately in the past couple of months. a lot of athletes have refused to sing the national anthem before the games, and it's a sign of solidarity, so some people took that as a nice gesture. a lot of people have said this is too little too late. we have seen videos of people who wear watching the match they chafing then every time they square even afterwards, some people register beating chocolates for england's lane. it's quite unprecedented. pain in the shopping mall and iran. and they think that they don't represent them at this crucial time.—

7:42 pm
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
7:43 pm
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. stay with us on outside source — still to come... heading to china where covid that
7:44 pm
cases are soaring in beijing and so is the anger at the government's zero coded policy. the uk prime minister has quashed speculation that he wants to renegotiate the brexit deal to forge closer trade ties with the eu. some tory mps reacted with anger to reports of briefings from downing street that the government wants to reopen the deal. today rishi sunak denied that. 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. 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.
7:45 pm
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
7:46 pm
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 in all, there are still more questions than answers for businesses already under strain and nervous about the future. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? the usa is leading whales in an opening match at the football world cup earlier, england peaked at round 6-2. an cup earlier, england peaked at round 6—2. an update on how that whales usa game is going at the moment. the score stands at usa— one, whales— zero. ourwashington score stands at usa— one, whales— zero. our washington correspondent is in a bar in dc, i believe, outside a bar. who are you with? i am outside, yeah. that game is still

7:51 pm
beijing facing —— beijing says it is facing its most severe covid test yet after the first covid—related deaths for six months. it comes as cases continue to soar in districts across the country. officials have now implemented a lockdown in the haidian and chaoyang districts of beijing, with shops, schools and restaurants closed. this is the wang—fu—jing shopping street. people travelling into beijing will be now have to do daily tests in the first three days, and wait for the results before being allowed to leave their homes or accommodation. here's an official from the city's disease prevention and control centre: translation: beijing reported 360 new local covid-19 infections - from midnight to 3pm on monday. of those, 274 infections were found among people already in quarantine and 42 in mass screening. mass screening is taking place in the city, as the authorities continue to pursue china's zero—covid policy. the controversial strategy — which aims to eradicate outbreaks — has seen millions locked down and citizens who have tested positive for the virus forcibly quarantined. here's the reaction of a couple
7:52 pm
of beijing residents. translation: right now i don't know how it will go. _ the policy is changing every day. i feel that china's of that policy is still pretty good. translation: you can't go anywhere. everything is closed. customers cannot come either. can you do? you can do nothing. the rise in coronavirus cases in china has hit global stock markets. that's as investors worry that officials will reimpose strict, economically painful restrictions to fight outbreaks across the country. the chinese government says a total of around 26,000 new cases were confirmed in all 31 municipalities on the mainland on sunday. this is how the hang seng index in hong kong closed: down 1.9%. the shanghai composite also fell 0.4%. here's suranjana tewari of our asia business hub in singapore. on sunday, china reported almost
7:53 pm
27,000 new local cases nearing the peaks that we last saw in april of this year. now, there have been some signs that china is loosening some restrictions and making adjustments to the zero co—pay policy with beijing calling for more targeted measures, cutting routine testing in some cities and steering away from widespread lockdowns that really impacted the economy earlier this year. that said, state media have been publishing articles saying that infections need to be caught early and that a one—size—fits—all approach should be avoided. so there seems to be some conflict still. meanwhile the leader of hong kong is isolating after testing positive for covid. this was chief executivejohn lee at the apec regional summit in bangkok at the weekend, where he shook hands with thailand's prime minister prayut chan—o—cha and sat next to the chinese president, xijinping. the bbc�*s martin yip has more from hong kong. the government press release said
7:54 pm
very little about how a john lee was tested positive, so he returned last night, did a pcr test sample and tested positive, so is to stay in isolation from today. he doesn't seem to be in much pain, he probably asymptomatic, but we can't confirm that either. but he appeared on video link this morning hosting a meeting that organise as the hong kong picked up the chinese parliamentary elections that will take place in december. he appeared all right, he sounded all right, so it seems everything is going on still pretty much normal except for the fact that he's in in isolation and can't meet the price in front of the camera. but still, a little bit of a surprise over the internet. some people find it fascinating to see the hong kong leader being tested positive at this first trip as the chief executive,
7:55 pm
the leader of hong kong when he was so eager to tell the world that hong kong is back on the international stage after three years of cold that lockdown, as well as the 2019 antigovernment protests. he wanted to do that, and now he's coming back tested positive. before we go, and unusually bright meteor has lit up the night sky over southwest norway as it burned up in the atmosphere. well, a flash shimmered in multiple colours right across the sky prompting a string of puzzled phone calls to the police, as you can imagine, amazing pictures. let me remind you the latest score from the world cup in qatar at the moment. it's half—time and the usa are one up against whales. both sides have been played in the world cup in a while. as of
7:56 pm
course had been at notes for a few years now. lots of interest in the uk and the welsh prospects, but of course across america too. i am on twitter. good evening. this morning brought the coldest weather of the autumn so far, but i suspect it will also end up being the coldest weather of this week — because actually, if anything, things will slowly but surely turn a little milder over the next few days. there will be further spells of wind and rain, thanks to low pressure. we've certainly had an area of low pressure with us today — this curl of cloud on the earlier satellite picture. a band of cloud and rain pushing northeast was plenty of shower clouds, you'll notice, following into the southwest. and actually, it is this area of the country that we're watching as we go through tonight — as this little area of low pressure squeezes in. and the isobars squeeze together while there could be a swathe of quite strong winds. gales are possible around some exposed coasts,
7:57 pm
certainly plenty of showers. also an area of rain drifting slowly northwards across northeast england, southeast scotland. some patchy rain elsewhere, some areas of cloud, maybe some mist and murk for parts of the midlands and east wales. and as you can see from the pockets of blue, particularly in scotland, a touch of frost for some, but probably not as cold tomorrow morning as it was this morning. there will be actually a decent amount of dry weather around through tomorrow, increasing amounts of sunshine, too. but some rain into eastern scotland, heavy downpours for a time in northwest scotland, and the winds only slowly easing in the southwest of england and the channel islands — we will continue to see a few showers here. afternoon temperatures between 6—12 celsius. moving on into wednesday, here comes another area of low pressure from the atlantic, this frontal system throwing another belt of heavy rain north eastwards. so some quite soggy weather for many of us as we go through the day on wednesday, but behind that, the skies clear, so we will see some spells of sunshine, but also, some hefty showers for northern ireland, parts of wales, the southwest of england where the winds will pick up once again. temperatures, well, maybejust a touch higher — 7—13 celsius.
7:58 pm
now for thursday, we do it all over again — yet another band of rain pushing in from the west. some of this rain will be heavy, the winds will be quite blustery either side of our rain band, there will be a mix of sunny spells and showers. but actually, most of us by this stage, up into double digits. and as we move through friday, and particularly into the weekend, we will feel the effects of some milder air wafting up across the uk. but there will still be some wind and rain at times.

8:02 pm
wales international player, robert earnshaw. as you are thinking about this, you are in the playground, the street kicking the ball around before you become a professional. you are going through the scenario, playing in a world cup, kicking a ball, scoring a goal, whatever it is, you do that as a kid and now they will be the ones as players with that excitement and build—up to be like, wow, this is it, i am build—up to be like, wow, this is it, iam playing in the build—up to be like, wow, this is it, i am playing in the world cup. the last time wales played in the world cup in 1958 they reached the quarter finals, losing to brazil, who went on to become the eventual champions. as for the us this match marks its return after failing to qualify for the 2018 world cup. we know that more than 2,500 wales fans are at the match let's hear from some of them. a mixture of excitement, nerves and
8:03 pm

8:04 pm
point of view we couldn't risk losing star players for bookings over this. losing star players for bookings overthis. some losing star players for bookings over this. some folks are saying what good is a protest if the moment they going gets tough you choose to back down? others are saying players should not be put in this position. no one is happy, all very messy and yet again we are not talking about events on the pitch but events of it. and this is the view from the welsh first minister mark drakeford. today the ground rules change and fifa were threatening sanctions that would have affected individual players, penalising players and that simply isn't fair. it is quite different if you're talking about individuals. and this is part of a wider issue qatar's troubling human rights record. we know that lgbtq people can be arrested, imprisoned, and even sentenced to death if they take part in same sex sexual activity. and there's been allegations that migrant workers hired to work on world cup related infrastucture projects died or suffered abuse,
8:05 pm
despite assurances safety standards had improved. this was in germany earlier today. hundreds of volunteers lit 20,000 candles to raise awareness of qatar's migrant worker fatalities. let's hear from the secretary general of amnesty international. football can be a fantastic call for people to come together but that can only be done if we understand, if we own the human rights of everybody, including lgbtq people, including the migrant workers, including the athletes of iran. i am bagging the fans, please think of the risk they have taken so they could offer you that game. have taken so they could offer you that game-— have taken so they could offer you that aime. ~ ., , ., ., . have taken so they could offer you that aime. ~ ., , ., .,. , that game. wales, usa, that match is still ioiin that game. wales, usa, that match is still going on- — more now from doha and my

8:13 pm
to all areas of ukraine. let's hear from the who's europe regional director who's in kyiv. this winter will be life threatening for millions of people in ukraine. the devastating energy crisis, the deepening mental health emergency, constraints on humanitarian access and the risk of viral infections will make this winter a formidable test for the ukraine health system and the ukraine people. but also for the world and its commitment to support ukraine. the country is facing a crisis on top of a crisis. brought on by the war and pandemic. half of ukraine's energy infrastructure is either damaged or destroyed. this is already having knock—on effects on the health system and on the people's health. put simply, this winter will be
8:14 pm
about survival. more on that speech by dr hans kluge. he said that the who had verified 703 attacks on health infrastructure since russia invaded ukraine 9 months ago. he said such attacks are a "breach of international humanitarian law and the rules of war". he also said ten million people around quarter of the population are without power. and that this was particularly dangerous as temperatures are expected to reach as low as minus 20 degrees. he said he expected two to three million people to leave their homes in search of warmth and safety, making them more exposed to respiratory illnesses such as covid, pneumonia and flu. our correspondentjessica parker is also in kyiv. something the who was speaking about is how the colder temperatures are setting in as we get into winter. we have seen the first snow here in kyiv and the damage to the energy structure is also of concern given how vital it is to provide energy to
8:15 pm
health services and the who's regional director for europe was also speaking about how those colder temperatures can lead to more respiratory infections for people across the country as well as a number of other conditions. the who really trying to flag as others have those concerns about what minto could mean notjust for the conflict but the health of people in every ukraine as well. stay with us on outside source: nasa's artemis aircraft has arrived at the moon and takes this picture of the earth. beijing says its facing its most severe covid test. it comes as cases continue to soar in districts across
8:16 pm
the country and it has hit global stock markets. on sunday china reported almost 27,000 new local cases, nearing the peaks that we last saw in april of this year. there have been some signs that china is loosening some restrictions and making adjustments to the zero covid policy with beijing calling for more targeted measures, cutting routine testing in some cities and steering away from widespread lockdowns that really impact the economy earlier this year. that said, state media have been publishing articles saying that infections need to be caught early and a one size fits all approach should be avoided. there seems to be some conflict still.
8:17 pm
this is outside source. our lead story wales is playing the usa in their opening matches in the football world cup. earlier england beat iran 6—2. more on our top story, the football and it is already proving highly political. for many iranian fans the drama on the pitch in the opener against england was of secondary concern to events unfolding in their home country. following two months of protests, a brutal crackdown is under way. this footage shows scenes in the kurdish majority city of javanroud appearing to show protesters fleeing what appears to be live ammunition. rights groups say thirteen protestors have been killed by iranian security forces over the last 24 hours in kurdish areas of west and northwest iran. this was in the minds of many of the thousands of iranian expats who attended today's game. some iranian fans waved the lion flag of iran the national symbol under the prerevolutionary government and a symbol of restistance.
8:18 pm
others danced to the prominent "baraye" protest song, events unfold in iran. i cry ts unfold in iran. scry every old in iran. i cry every single ran. for the life i see lost, i cry for i for them, i watch =_4— on tiktok and 7 on tiktok and i 7 on tiktok and i cry for the “was an. ”tab and ! 5s: faiths ”s ,.._.., . dyini. it's i3! a regime killing incredible. it's a regimekilling how long can people be quiet kids, how long can people be quiet about it? since the wave of protests began following the murder of 22—year—old woman, mahsa amini, in the custody of tehran's religious police, leading iranian sportspeople have been among the most prominent critics of the regime. iranian footballer icon ali karimi has been outspoken in his support for the protesters on social media and has been become a figurehead for the opposition. iran's record goal—scorer
8:19 pm
and a legendary figure in the country announced last week he would boycott the tournament in solidarity. this has put pressure on the current men's iranian football team. many opponents of the regime criticized the players for meeting with iran's president. ebrahim raisi ahead of the tournament, leading many fans to question whether they should support the team. translation: we have to accept that conditions in our country are not right. our people are not happy. we are here but that does not mean we should not be their voice and not respect them. we must perform the best we can and to score goals and present the bereaved people of iran with results. i hope the conditions
8:20 pm
change to accept the conditions of the people. before kick—off the islamic republic's national anthem received a hostile reception from a number of iran fans and a muted one from the players. whistles were heard around the stadium. the bbc has seen video of fans protesting and booing during the anthem, but due to fifa broadcast restrictions we cannot show it. there were visible acts of protest in the stadium by iran fans against the actions of the yehran regime. numerous shirts and banners displayed the protest slogan �*women. life and freedom.�* another banner read �*this is not iran's national team, it is the islamic republic�*s team.�* there have been security concerns amongst fans looking to protest. qatar and iran are close geopolitical allies. one british iranian woman who organised a protest in the stadium at today�*s game expressed concern
8:21 pm
that the qataris would be cooperating with security forces, and that agents of the regimne were present in the stadium. entered the stadium, obviously we were scared of the news we heard from qatar saying qatari officials would check us thoroughly so i had to cover my shirt which had, women, life, freedom on it. all of us covered it, went inside and found other people with the same idea being there and amplifying the voice of iranian people. we started chanting throughout the game and one minute we started chanting but unfortunately they have sent people from iran to silence us. i was honestly disheartened and almost crying because our voices were not getting hard and we didn�*t know what to do because they had so much
8:22 pm
facility. as an iranian, them silencing us is clear they don�*t want us to be heard. trying to pick a fight with us when i was actually happy that england scored, they were coming to me trying to attack me, saying i was an england fan. trying to pick a fight and intimidate me. nasa�*s artemis aircraft has landed on the moon. these are pictures from space and the capsule is flying above 130 kilometres above the lunar surface and was out of contact for 34 minutes as it passed the far side of the moon. as it returned, it said this image of the earth. is this a

8:25 pm
technology, space shuttle engines and it worked beautifully and so it is threaded that incredible needle to get to the moon. it will whip around the other side of the moon, but the odds of something happening in that little period the moon is in the way, probably it is ok. it is what will happen over the next couple of weeks as they prove all the technologies work and then use the technologies work and then use the moon to whip towards home and then test all the systems re—entering the atmosphere on the 11th of december. nobody at is done holding their breath and crossing their fingers yet. the holding their breath and crossing their fingers yet.— their fingers yet. the latest from their fingers yet. the latest from the world cop — their fingers yet. the latest from the world cup in _ their fingers yet. the latest from the world cup in qatar, - their fingers yet. the latest from the world cup in qatar, we - their fingers yet. the latest from the world cup in qatar, we are i their fingers yet. the latest from i the world cup in qatar, we are now into the second half of the usa and wales game, it is 1—0 to the usa. 2500 fans are watching the match.
8:26 pm
earlier england beat iran 6—2 in their world cup opener. you can get in touch with me and the team on twitter. see you soon. good evening. this evening brought the coldest weather of the autumn so far but it will end up being the coldest weather of this week because if anything, things will slowly but surely turned milder over the next few days. further spells of wind and rain thanks to low pressure. we have had an area of low pressure today, this cult of cloud on the earlier satellite picture. a band of rain and cloud pushing eastwards. it is this area of the country that we are watching as we go through tonight as this area of low pressure squeezes in and the isobars squeezed together, there could be a swathe of quite strong winds, gales possible around some exposed coasts. plenty
8:27 pm
of showers. an area of rain drifting slowly northwards across north—east england, south—east scotland. areas of cloud, it may be some mist and murk and as you can see from the pockets of blue, a touch of frost. but probably not as cold tomorrow morning as it was this morning. there will be a decent amount of dry weather around through tomorrow, increasing amounts of sunshine too but rain into eastern scotland, heavy downpours for a time in north—west scotland and the wind only easing in the south—west of england and the channel islands. afternoon temperatures between six and 12 degrees. moving on into wednesday, here comes another area of low pressure from the atlantic, this frontal system throwing another bout of heavy rain north eastwards so some quite soggy weather for many of us as we go through the day on wednesday but behind that the sky is clear so we will see spells of sunshine but also hefty showers for northern ireland, parts of wales, the south—west of england where the
8:28 pm
winds will pick up once again. temperatures arejust a winds will pick up once again. temperatures are just a touch higher, seven to 12 or 13 degrees. thursday we do it all over again. yet another band of rain pushing in from the west, some heavy, the winds will be quite blustery, either side of our rain band a mix of sunny spells and showers but most of us by this stage up into double digits. as you move through friday, particularly into the weekend we will feel the effects of some milder air wafting up across the uk but there will still be some wind and rain at times.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines: england have won their first game in the world cup six two. off the pitch there�*s been more controversy with fifa threatening to penalise players wearing rainbow armbands in support of gay rights. iran�*s players refused to sing their country�*s national anthem before their opening world cup match against england, in an apparent show of support for protesters back home. a powerful earthquake has struck indonesia�*s main island ofjava, leaving more than 160 people dead and at least 700 hundred injured. rescuers are working into the night to try to reach those that are trapped .
8:31 pm
in ukraine, there�*s been renewed shelling around zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. experts warn of a major nuclear disaster if attacks continue. you are watching the bbc news channel i�*m lewis vaughanjones the prime minister has quashed speculation that he wants to renegotiate the brexit deal to forge closer trade ties with the eu. some tory mps reacted with anger to reports of briefings from downing street that the government wants to reopen the deal. today rishi sunak denied that and rejected calls from the uk�*s biggest business group to allow more 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
8:32 pm
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
8:33 pm
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.
8:34 pm
our profitability targets, - everything for our businesses is really key around the energy costs. i 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. 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 editorjames cook in glasgow 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 apparently 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
8:35 pm
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
8:36 pm
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. i�*m joined now by dr andrew buist the chair of the bma�*s scottish gp committee thanks so much for coming on the programme. so what�*s your reaction to the principle of making some wealthy people pay?—

8:39 pm
two and excretion extent a two—tier health service now. because people are going dry in the post—pandemic period. what we don�*t want such two—tier national health service. 50 two—tier national health service. so raising taxes. it sounds like the only option on the table unless you cut services?— only option on the table unless you cut services? raising taxes and also we need to — cut services? raising taxes and also we need to engage _ cut services? raising taxes and also we need to engage with _ cut services? raising taxes and also we need to engage with the - cut services? raising taxes and also we need to engage with the public. we need to engage with the public and their use of the health service. i think the main management needs to be better handled. sometimes people come make use of the service too much because it is too freely available. i would like to see more of a contract between the service and the public so so that people are encouraged to use it more appropriately. encouraged to use it more appropriately-— encouraged to use it more appropriately. encouraged to use it more aiiiroriatel .. ., ., , ., ., appropriately. what does that mean? our contracts? _ appropriately. what does that mean? our contracts? it's _ appropriately. what does that mean? our contracts? it's a _ appropriately. what does that mean? our contracts? it's a contract - appropriately. what does that mean? our contracts? it's a contract where l our contracts? it�*s a contract where it to help people understand what the services for and what you can do and what he can�*t do it. in other

8:44 pm
continue her threat to national security it she should be considered a child victim of trafficking and sexual exploitation. although she left the uk with two friends and shrubs on her own to turkey. she was then smuggled across the border into syria. within days of arriving in syria, at age 15, she was married to an adult islamic fighter i was pregnant very soon after. her lawyers argued they were far too quick to take away her british citizenship when she re—emerge from that territory in 2019. he should�*ve thought of her of a victim of expectation and trafficking. the home office say this is not the case of trafficking. this is the case of national security and protecting people in britain from those people who are returning from the islamic state group. the mi five officer when pressed about this, said, victims can also be a threat as well. thanks daniel sanford to talk
8:45 pm
us assume that. one of the main issues on many people�*s minds right now as we head into winter is affordable housing. the rapid increase in interest rates has left many at breaking point over mortgage repayments, and for others rising rents are a serious cause for concern. bbc panorama has met three people trying to make ends meet. richard bilton reports. nonni is packing, but has nowhere to go. she�*s a nurse and a mum of four in bristol. you feel like you failed now, because i can�*t do that, not through a fault of my own, i�*ve done nothing wrong, but it�*s gone. i can�*t do it, i can�*t keep them safe, with a roof, despite trying. her partner works as well, and they have never missed their rent. but the landlord wants to renovate the house and is evicting them. they say they can�*t afford anywhere else in the city. my aim in life is to put a safe roof over my children�*s head. i have worked really hard to earn money to be able to ensure
8:46 pm
that my children are safe, i wanted to be able to provide for them. and now even though i�*m doing those things, i still can�*t provide for them. i can�*t maintain their safety. they are looking at being homeless. for vicky, a midwife, it�*s the mortgage rate. this has been the family home in london for 20 years. but she�*s on an interest only tracker deal. payments have risen from £300 to £850. she has to sell before they get higher. how was that affected you? it's made me really emotional. sometimes itjust, ijust get emotional for no reason. i didn't really want to sell it. but, you know, you get to the stage where you have to have, if you have to sell it, you have to sell it. that�*s tough, isn�*t it? yeah, it is. yeah, it's been quite hard. georgina is living in a birmingham flat that�*s falling apart. two months ago, she filmed as part of her bedroom ceiling gave way.
8:47 pm
wow, oh, my god! that�*s extraordinary. she said the landlords didn�*t mend it. they say she didn�*t answer the door when they called. but after two months, she�*s had enough. right now, i'm just- living in my living room, i think that's what i do, _ i think i shut that door and i focus on heating where i am. which isn't really. much of a life, is it? in the end, she decided to move out. her new place is £170 more per month. vicky�*s place is still on the market. and nonni�*s landlord has pushed the eviction back to january. but the family still can�*t find anywhere to live. richard bilton, bbc news. several drivers have been issued with tickets following a police operation along the m5 using an unmarked lorry from national highways to spot driving offences. police say some drivers may have
8:48 pm
put their livlihoods at risk after getting caught using mobile phones or being distracted whilst driving. our gloucestershire reporter, steve knibbs, has been following traffic officers during operation tramline on the m5. on patrol from a very different vantage point. we can look straight into the cab, see what the lorry driver�*s doing. we can look down and see what the cars are doing. i�*ve got a rear window i can look out of here and hopefully catch something, either from the rear window or looking forward into lane two and lane three. and not much surprises the traffic officers these days. people doing their make—up in the car whilst driving along, people driving with macbooks on the steering wheel. so while the team in the lorry try to spot any dodgy driving, it is up to the interceptors closer to the ground to pull the suspects. computerised voice: 999 activated. and it doesn�*t take long. she�*s got one hand on the wheel, one hand holding a water bottle, and then she takes both hands off the steering wheel whilst she screws the lid back on the water bottle
8:49 pm
and puts it on the passenger seat. so, concerned about you not having full control of the vehicle as they were going past. ok. which is why i've stopped you. yeah, here�*s one, too, in the video. using mobile phones while driving is still a big issue. the law has changed recently, several drivers have been stopped during operation tramline in the last week. was there any reason for using your phone? you will get a ticket. i am not happy that the government took away the option for doing a course, but even increasing the points and the fine it hasn't stopped people. if they are professional drivers, they could lose theirjobs. anna mayes people still take the risk. this guy is a professional, he knows what he�*s doing. the majority of lorry drivers were law—abiding. others did sail close to the rules.

8:52 pm
parents are always complaining about the bills getting higher and their pay and their wages not getting higher. loads of people can relate - to the song because there's loads of people who have who are not spending enough time - with their parents because they're working multiple jobs— just to live. not all the workers get paid enough money to feed their children and pay the bills and the rent. so that song gives a powerful meaning and speaks out for those people. how are you going to eat? a song sung with passion by pupils here at st anthony�*s catholic primary in newham. released along with a specially produced music video. more than a third of these children�*s parents now work more than one job to keep up with the bills. it is important for us to push for an appropriate living wage. the thing is, everyone is called now to tighten their belts and save pennies. how can we save pennies
8:53 pm
when there is no penny to be saved? # i look to the sky #. the london living wage is a voluntary pay rate calculated on the cost of living. £2.50 higher than the government�*s legally required national living wage. parent who is working multiple jobs does not have time to spend quality time in the evenings with their children. as a matter of fact, many times they are passing like ships in the night, you know, with their children at home, because as the children are coming in, they're going out to work another job, another job. and this isjust purely to make ends meet. a school at the heart of the real living wage campaign in a borough at the sharp end of the cost of living crisis. luke hanrahan, bbc london. wheels are playing the us of course.
