the elizabeth line six months on — we assess its impact. we start tonight with events in qatar — two world cup football games which have nailed the attention of tens of millions of people across the uk today, as both england and wales played their opening matches. that night there was a big win for england against iran and i dramatic draw with six minutes to go for wales against the usa —— there was a big win. the 6—2 victory over iran was england's highest—ever score in an opening match at the world cup. both games were played against the backdrop of more controversy. players from several teams — including the captains of england and wales — were forced to abandon their plans to wear the onelove armband promoting diversity and inclusivity because fifa threatened they'd be booked on the pitch — if they took part. and the iranian players refused to sing their own national anthem , in a show of solidarity with the mass protests at home. the wales match ended within the past hour or so and we will have a

full report onjust past hour or so and we will have a full report on just a moment, but first to the england win and our correspondent natalie pirks. 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. women, life, freedom. and a row over a simple act of wearing their onelove pro—lgbtq+ rights 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 trying to bring it back to football. we know that the england team i are behind the onelove campaign, so that's good enough. some fans couldn't even get in after fifa's e—ticket system crashed. those who did make it saw england's national anthem sung with gusto. 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 here too between hosseini and beiranvand. ten minutes passed, but 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, that england turned up the heat. and it was the cool head of a teenager in his world cup debut... and it's in, from bellingham! ..who got their campaign off to a flyer. what a moment for the 19—year—old!

england were beginning to enjoy themselves here — 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 keeps on 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'sjust 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. as we saw, minutes before the match started, the iranian team presented a united front in their decision not to sing their own national anthem. it was said to be a symbolic show of support on a global stage for the many protestors back home in iran, including thousands of women and girls fighting for basic rights. the latest wave of protests was sparked by the death of a young woman in police custody after she'd been accused of ignoring the rules on correct clothing.

our correspondent shaimaa khalil reports from doha. it was impossible to escape the politics of this game. 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 because it appears to side with the anti—government protesters. the players have come under a great deal of pressure and criticism lately for not showing enough support. even before the kick—off, emotions were high — many with a clear message about why they were here. i'm not cheering for the islamic republic, them because they're representing islamic republic. i'm here to support my country, my homeland, iran. at the moment, the regime, they are killing kids, they are killing children. i'm not coming here to support them. we are just coming here to be the voice of people in iran. . i since the protests started, more | than 400 people have been killed.

the match itself was disappointing for iran, but the country's political turmoil could also be felt throughout. there were gestures of defiance, with the slogan of the protests, "women, life, freedom" written on this iranian flag. while most iranian fans cheered relentlessly for their team, some others could be heard chanting "bisharaf", which means "dishonourable" — a word used to criticise the security forces. a woman was in the stands with a small poster saying "women, life, freedom," in solidarity with protesters back in her home country. for many here, this was more than just a football game. today anti—government protests continued, as did the violent crackdown against those taking to the streets. human rights activists say 400 people were killed and thousands arrested since the protests started in september, triggered by the death of 22—year—old mahsa amini. she had been detained for allegedly not wearing her headscarf properly. her death became a crying call against the oppression of women. the reverberations of this movement have been felt across the globe, and now they've echoed here, on one of the world's biggest stages.

shaimaa khalil, bbc news, doha. turning to today pass my other match. —— today's other match. the welsh players are carrying a huge burden of responsibility as the first welsh team to make the world cup finals in over 60 years. they struggled to settle and find form for long periods, but a stunning penalty by gareth bale eventually gave them a 1—1 draw against the usa. our wales correspondent hywel griffith is in doha with the latest. yes, after all the exhilaration of reaching this first world cup since 1958 there was always a risk that the welsh team might be emotionally exhausted before they had even

kicked a ball, and in the first half, let's be blunt, they were poon half, let's be blunt, they were poor. they looked out of place and maybe stage fright to call but after a rousing speech from their manager at half—time and a tactical change suddenly something started to click. together they were stronger in the tackle, faster on the ball and put forward by the captain gareth bale they simply refused to accept defeat in doha. the wait is over. no more watching from afar, wishing it was wales. after 64 years and decades of disappointment these fans are finally at a world cup. coming to qatar has involved huge expense, ethical dilemmas and an emotional overload. the ethical dilemmas and an emotional overload. , . , overload. the feeling is incredible. within my belly. — overload. the feeling is incredible. within my belly, it _ overload. the feeling is incredible. within my belly, it isjust- within my belly, it isjust bubbling. within my belly, it is 'ust bubblinei within my belly, it is 'ust bubbling. within my belly, it is 'ust bubblinu. ., ., , , bubbling. could it get any better than this? the _ bubbling. could it get any better than this? the atmosphere - bubbling. could it get any better than this? the atmosphere is i than this? the atmosphere is amazing. the weather? nice. we are

rest. time for a rethink, and six foot five with a striker. could kieffer moore helped impose wales on the game? they grew in stature and confidence. but that final magical moment, just out of reach. until american forcejust went moment, just out of reach. until american force just went a little too far. penalty. and who else but gareth bale? to set the red wall into raptures. it gareth bale? to set the red wall into raptures.— into raptures. it is liftoff for wales! the)! _ into raptures. it is liftoff for wales! they had _ into raptures. it is liftoff for wales! they had turned - into raptures. it is liftoff for wales! they had turned the j into raptures. it is liftoff for - wales! they had turned the tide, but that wave of — wales! they had turned the tide, but that wave of emotion _ wales! they had turned the tide, but that wave of emotion took _ wales! they had turned the tide, but that wave of emotion took then no i that wave of emotion took then no further. wales came to make history. they leave having learned to handle life on the big stage. hywel griffith, bbc news, doha. quite a day, and that's just the start. live to doha and our sports editor, dan roan. let's have your take on what has

gone on today? i let's have your take on what has gone on today?— gone on today? i think, is hywel 'ust gone on today? i think, is hywel just suggested. _ gone on today? i think, is hywel just suggested, perhaps - gone on today? i think, is hywel just suggested, perhaps the - gone on today? i think, is hywel- just suggested, perhaps the emotion of this occasion got to wales in that first half because they were poon that first half because they were poor, but once again gareth bale, as you just saw, reminding everybody what a remarkable footballer he is with that late penalty under pressure. he always seems to deliver when his country needs him most. he is among the superstar elite footballers whose giant images adorn the skyscraper is a short walk from here in doha, and once again he proved by, handling that immense pressure with aplomb, and of course that draw will give the welsh confidence they can now go on and get a result against iran on friday and that would perfectly tear up that blockbuster all british occasion a week tomorrow against england. as for gareth southgate's side, a new to perfect start, their best ever start in fact at a world cup finals, despite recent poor forum they seemed to deliver for the

manager when it comes to major tournaments. i thinkjude bellingham and bukayo saka, these two youngsters, they have given england a new dimension, they have really impressive strength and depth as well and they will now be full of belief they can go once again fire at a major tournament here in qatar. performances for both teams i think will be ultimately encouraging for them but that was on the pitch. it they were both frustrated, climbing down from their plans to wear those onelove anti—discrimination armband as natalie mentioned a few minutes ago. fifa have been to keep politics out of football for quite frankly sometime and their rhetoric has been getting tougher in recent weeks. today they played the trump card with that threat of sporting sanctions, and it proved enough. i'm sure it will have gone down well here in qatar and the dementing criticism of their hosting of the tournament but if you're in particular human rights campaigners and other groups condemned the move and other groups condemned the move and i think there was also

disappointing that the fa, the fa w and other associations didn't stand up and other associations didn't stand up to fifa, that they capitulated in the manner they did. fifa perhaps scoring what they think is a victory here today in terms of that issue around activism, but as those iran players showed there is only so much fifa can do it. like my google talk again tomorrow. thank you very much for now. dan again tomorrow. thank you very much for now- dan— for now. dan bullen, a sports editor -- and we — for now. dan bullen, a sports editor -- and we will _ for now. dan bullen, a sports editor -- and we will talk _ for now. dan bullen, a sports editor -- and we will talk again _ for now. dan bullen, a sports editor -- and we will talk again tomorrow. j —— and we will talk again tomorrow. dan roan, our sports editor. for insights into the main issues at the world cup, you can listen to the newscast podcast with adam fleming and chris mason. they'll be talking about the armbands row, allegations of fake fans, and launching the newscast sweepsta ke. search for newscast on bbc sounds. if an earthquake has struck the main indonesian island ofjava, an earthquake has struck the main indonesian island of java, leaving at least 162 people dead and hundreds injured, according to the local governor.

buildings have been destroyed and rescuers are still trying to find survivors. the epicentre of the earthquake, which recorded a magnitude of 5.6, was close to chianjur town in westjava in an area which is densely populated and vulnerable to landslides. our correspondent valdya baraputri reports from chianjur. 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 indonesian standards, 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 as it struck in the afternoon. translation: when it happened, i was sleeping. but all of a sudden, my bed shook and i ran outside. houses had collapsed.

as officials tried to coordinate rescue efforts for areas which are still cut off, the injured were brought to the area's main hospital by any means possible — some carried, others in the back of trucks and in a constant, chaotic stream of ambulances. with aftershocks being felt, they were laid down on tarpaulins outside the hospital, with nurses treating them as best as they could. translation: all of our medical personnel, including those on days off and not on shift, have come on duty. this hospital is absolutely overflowing with the people injured following the earthquake. hundreds of people are spending the night being treated here in tents outside of the hospital building. there is a fear too of dangerous aftershocks. some fear they have lost loved ones. translation: my two children

were playing in the house, - and i was upstairs getting laundry. i fell on top of this child, but the other one is still missing. my house is flattened to the ground. two of my children survived, i dug them out myself. so now a race to find survivors — in shattered neighbourhoods without power, without water. earthquakes are not unusual here, but this one appears to have been more destructive than most, leaving so many villages isolated, so many lives lost, so many homes to rebuild. valdya baraputi, bbc news, cianjur. shamima begum, who was 15 when she travelled to syria to join the islamic state group in 2015, was a victim of human trafficking, according to her lawyers. ms begum's case is being presented to a uk immigration tribunal, where her legal team is asking for her british citizenship to be restored.

the government says she still poses a security threat. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is with me. tell us more about the case that her lawyers are making.— lawyers are making. well, the settinu , lawyers are making. well, the setting, where _ lawyers are making. well, the setting, where the cases - lawyers are making. well, the setting, where the cases are l lawyers are making. well, the - setting, where the cases are being heard is one of the uk's highs to security chords, and it began today with an m15 officer giving evidence from behind a thick curtain, and shamima begum is still in a camp in northern syria, but her lawyers argued that rather than being treated as a national security risk, she should be treated as a child victim of trafficking for sexual exploitation, because although she and her two school friends data travel to turkey on their own, they were then smuggled into islamic state controlled syria, and very soon after she arrived, shamima begum, an impressionable 15—year—old, was married to an adult islamic state fighter and was pregnant soon afterwards, and they are saying that the then home

secretary was too quick to strip her of her citizenship in 2019 as the islamic state group collapsed, its caliphate collapsed. the home of his lawyers said, in contrast, that this isn't about tracking, it is about trying to keep people in the uk save from former is supporters, and the mi5 from former is supporters, and the m15 officer giving evidence at that shamima begum knew exactly what she was doing when she went to syria and also that victims can very much be threats as well.— threats as well. 0k, daniel, many thanksfor— threats as well. 0k, daniel, many thanks for the _ threats as well. 0k, daniel, many thanks for the latest _ threats as well. 0k, daniel, many thanks for the latest on _ threats as well. 0k, daniel, many thanks for the latest on that - thanks for the latest on that immigration tribunal. daniel sandford, our home affairs correspondent. the prime minister, rishi sunak, has tried to end speculation that he might want to renegotiate the brexit deal to secure closer trade links with the eu. some conservative mps have reacted with anger to reports in the sunday times newspaper that some ministers and officials wanted the deal to be renegotiated to give the uk economy a boost. business leaders have asked the government to allow more immigration to tackle a serious shortage of workers in some sectors,

but mr sunak, a keen supporter of brexit, rejected that. our business editor, simonjack, has more details. 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. nhs leaders in scotland, who are dealing with extreme pressure on parts of the service, have discussed moving towards a two—tier system, where wealthy patients could pay for some treatment. they also discussed the possibility of limiting the policy of free prescriptions.

the first minister, nicola sturgeon, said reform was needed, but she ruled out charging people for accessing care or removing the founding principles of the nhs. the health service in scotland is struggling to deal with long waiting lists and staff vacancies. our scotland editor, james cook, has the story. 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 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, humza yousaf, 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. returning to our main story and the day's football in qatar, a nerve—wracking time for welsh fans, who were relieved with a draw against the usa, and a positivelyjubilant time for england supporters. in a moment, we'll hear from tomos morgan in cardiff. but first danjohnson with some england fans in manchester. this is a fan park, manchester—style. a warehouse. let's go! jumping to a steady beat of england goals.

this city wears national pride alongside respect for equality — the sort of issue under question in qatar. i must admit, it was a bit of 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 really feeling it, supporting england 100%, so i'm here, but yeah, it has soured it a lot. fifa aren't as inclusive i as they make out to be. do you think they should be wearing the armband? i do, definitely. qatar certainly wouldn't approve of this. it wasn't full here today, but the hope is now the football takes centre stage and interest grows. six england goals, that's really built the atmosphere here, so after the initial lack of enthusiasm for this world cup, it could now be that a different

tone takes over this tournament. they've got to get involved and get on with it to win it. let's see if we can go all the way with it. next up, it's the united states on friday night. danjohnson, dan johnson, bbc news, danjohnson, bbc news, manchester. in true welsh spirit, 1500 fans in song. a sea of bucket hats, so synonymous with the red wall, all ready for the first game in a generation. the excitement for this moment evident. we're not here to make up the numbers, we are here to make history, make a moment and make something special out of what we have got the opportunity for. massive achievement for wales, and just look at this tonight, it's going to be a hell of a night — if we get there. excitement quickly turned into anxiety as the us dominated — and scored.

well, even though it is 1—0 down, there is still a party atmosphere in cardiff, the fans making the most of this opportunity. after the stoppage in play for some extra hydration, the main man goes down in the box. with nerves on the edge, elation for the fans and some salvation. well, as the old cliche goes, football is a game of two halves. wales' superstar gareth bale to the rescue once again. and in fairness, the hope and optimism of the fans here in cardiff didn't wane one bit. we'll take a draw against england and go through the group, and then that's it. and then win the world cup! couldn't get any worse i than what we started off, and a point at the end of the day, if you ask me a point before this game, i would have taken it. - baled out — they'll take it here. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff.

as you can imagine, i was very calm all evening, of course i was! chris is with me with the weather.
