hello, i'm ros atkins. welcome to outside source. celebrations after saudi arabia defeats argentina — the first big shock of the world cup. declaring a public holiday. and defending world cup champions france, minus their best player, take on australia. we'll be live in doha. away from the world cup, cristiano ronaldo is to leave manchester united with immediate effect. he's currently in qatar, and will be playing for portugal on thursday. the search for survivors continues in indonesia. at least 268 people have died, many of them children, after school buildings collapse. translation: the other people were on the highest floor. _ they managed to be rescued. my brother—in—law was on the first floor. the ruins fell on him.

in ukraine is bracing for a harsh winter. i've been speaking to one woman in kyiv about how she's coping with the blackouts which are expected to last for months. several developments to bring you from the world cup. defending champion france havejust kicked off against australia in their tournament opener. in the past few minutes, manchester united has announced cristiano ronaldo will leave the club with immediate effect. one of the biggest upsets in the history of the tournament. with that in context, argentina is currently third in the world rankings. and it hasn't been defeated for 36 matches straight, and saudi arabia is 51st.

so, how has all this been received in saudi arabia? here's marwa helmy from bbc arabic. they are so happy with this win because saudi arabia never win the first game in the world cup history. so, it's the sixth time for them in the world cup, and they never won the first game in their history, so it was like a hit for them — "wow." they hope to reach far away in this tournament. saudi arabia has the strongest league among the countries, actually. they have a very good level competing with clubs, and they are so good in asia. they have very good players, but in saudi arabia, in qatar, in this country, they don't play outside saudi arabia, so some people or some of us feel like, are they having the experience they need to compete in the world cup?

so, that's why competing with argentina, south american teams or european teams, it was like, are they going to do it or not? meanwhile, france are taking on australia. we'll be bringing you updates on that over the course of the programme. there's also a live page on the bbc sport app. a number of france's key players have been injured in the run—up, though, including karim benzema. he was recently voted best player in the world, but he now can't play because of a thigh injury. despite this, france's manager says... that's not always the case when france goes to the world cup. let's hearfrom julien laurens, a football broadcaster in doha. before france, he last country to have retained before france, the last country to have retained the world cup is brazil in 1962. so, it shows you how difficult it is to do, and if you actually look at the last three winners of the world cup before france, they were all knocked out in the group stage,

the world cup after the triumph. so, it's going to be hard for france. we fear very weakened by the absence of karim benzema. this is a big game against australia, similar opening game to four years ago. this isjust a very, very different atmosphere. lucy hockings is in doha. lucy, we thought we might be talking about messi in argentina, but we're talking about saudi arabia. i think eve one talking about saudi arabia. i think everyone thought that. _ talking about saudi arabia. i think everyone thought that. it - talking about saudi arabia. i think everyone thought that. it was - talking about saudi arabia. i think| everyone thought that. it was such talking about saudi arabia. i think. everyone thought that. it was such a shock result. the celebrations amongst the saudi fans here have been absolutely remarkable. just very near where i'm standing, you might be able to hear the music in the background. if i'm silent! that is the sound of thousands of saudi fans who are at their fan park right here, and they haven't stopped �*s partying since. they're absolutely

thrilled about their team's performance. what was really interesting is there are a number of qataris down there, and you might remember that there had been a travel and between saudi and r. —— a travel and between saudi and r. —— a travel ban. tension ended. there is no sign of any of that tonight. the qataris are saying they are here to support their neighbours and all the teams in the arab world. a huge sense of cerebration. the other thing that was lovely is the studio next to ours belongs to saudi tv, and so the moment when they won, there was so much noise, quite a cacophony. i went next door and grabbed a few of the journalist and brought them into our studio for their reaction. all the players did their bets, and we are proud of what they did. what

is leaving man united. let's go back to lucy in doha, because at the moment, renaldo is in qatar. tell us more about this statement. it}! is in qatar. tell us more about this statement-— statement. of course, it will be interesting _ statement. of course, it will be interesting to see _ statement. of course, it will be interesting to see how- statement. of course, it will be interesting to see how all- statement. of course, it will be interesting to see how all of. statement. of course, it will be | interesting to see how all of the drama around christiana rinaldo affects the portuguese team. they're one of the favourites here. we had a statement saying ronaldo is to leave by mutual agreement. the club thanks him for his effort. perhaps no surprise after his explosive interview to piers morgan, so that just coming into us now that ronaldo is to lead with immediate effect. i

did try to find some fans, just to get their reaction, and i did find one gentleman who was a fan, and he's hoping that he might come and play and saudi arabia. itruie’iiii he's hoping that he might come and play and saudi arabia.— play and saudi arabia. we'll have to see. just hearing _ play and saudi arabia. we'll have to see. just hearing that _ play and saudi arabia. we'll have to see. just hearing that they - play and saudi arabia. we'll have to see. just hearing that they have - see. just hearing that they have taken the lead against france, and if i was in doha and i want to soak up if i was in doha and i want to soak up the tournament, how does it work within the city in terms of where fans can go and move around? we were really surprised — fans can go and move around? we were really surprised when _ fans can go and move around? we were really surprised when we _ fans can go and move around? we were really surprised when we first _ really surprised when we first arrived. we saw very few travelling fans. the streets were pretty deserted. as was the metro behind me. things have changed now, particularly with all the south american fans in town. they're incredibly noisy. there are lots of

fan festival spots to go to. if you're on the souk, you will find lots of teams there and their supporters singing, chanting and the metro as well, which has been built specially for this world cup, is also a place to find the fans. depending on which stop you get off at, you'll often find lots of fans making quite a lot of noise. lots of those fans as well are not here to stay. they're travelling in from the day from abu dhabi or dubai, so it depends where you go, but there are little pockets where you can find that kind of relaxing here. great stuff. that kind of relaxing here. great stuff- lucy. _ that kind of relaxing here. great stuff. lucy, lovely _ that kind of relaxing here. great stuff. lucy, lovely to _ that kind of relaxing here. great stuff. lucy, lovely to see - that kind of relaxing here. great stuff. lucy, lovely to see you. . that kind of relaxing here. great. stuff. lucy, lovely to see you. it's australia one, france zero. to indonesia, where rescuers are searching for survivors of monday's devastating earthquake. 268 people are now known to have died. over 1,000 people are injured. the 5.6 magnitude quake

struck the island of java, 100 kilometres from the capital, jakarta. one of the worst affected areas is cianjur. it's densely populated and residents live in poorly—built homes. this used to be a three—storey home. four people survived when it collapsed, but the body of a 28—year—old has been recovered. here's a relative of the family. translation: the other people were on the highest floor. _ they managed to be rescued. my brother—in—law was on the first floor. the ruins fell on him. the quake struck at 1pm local time, when many children were at school. many of them were crushed or trapped as walls and roofs caved in. this is one mother's experience. translation: at that - moment, i told my daughter to wash her hands after eating, so she was walking to the bathroom, then there was the quake and it was intense. a wall collapsed on her from the neck down.

i could only see her head. there was also a full thermos knocked over by the falling wall, and her hips and legs were burnt by the hot water. 150 people are still missing. these pictures give you a sense of the scale of devastation and the huge clean—up ahead. in total, around 22,000 homes have been damaged. the bbc�*s valdya baraputri is in cianjur. the closer to the epicentre - of the earthquake, the more visible the damage, some beyond repair. people are too afraid to go back to their houses. - well, as you can see, - the slanted floors are very prone to collapsing, even - with the smallest aftershock. 58,000 people have been forced from their homes. many are now living in makeshift tents like these. there are shortages of drinking water, food and blankets. next, let's hear from troy pantow,

from save the children indonesia. save the children are preparing to distribute around 1250 shelters, family hygiene kits, around 1000, and also 1000 hygiene kits for children. and also, we're setting up family spaces in five locations for the next two weeks for the children. also, we are preparing to send 5000 masks, because we are still in the middle of the covid pandemic. the area the quake hit is prone to landslides. as you can see from these drone pictures, homes, roads and vehicles have all been swept away. today, the indonesian president, joko widodo, visited the worst—hit region and delivered this promise. translation: the government will provide assistance to those | whose homes suffered heavy, light or moderate damage. the priority is to rescue victims

still trapped first. earthquakes are not unusual in the region. here's astudestra ajengrastri from the bbc�*s indonesian service injakarta. this area actually is very common for earthquake _ this area actually is very common for earthquake to _ this area actually is very common for earthquake to happen - this area actually is very commonj for earthquake to happen because this area actually is very common . for earthquake to happen because it is located _ for earthquake to happen because it is located on— for earthquake to happen because it is located on an _ for earthquake to happen because it is located on an active _ for earthquake to happen because it is located on an active seismic - is located on an active seismic location — is located on an active seismic location 0n— is located on an active seismic location. on the _ is located on an active seismic location. on the last - is located on an active seismic location. on the last two - is located on an active seismic - location. on the last two decades, earthquakes — location. on the last two decades, earthquakes has _ location. on the last two decades, earthquakes has been _ location. on the last two decades, earthquakes has been happening i location. on the last two decades, l earthquakes has been happening in this area, _ earthquakes has been happening in this area, and — earthquakes has been happening in this area, and a _ earthquakes has been happening in this area, and a week— earthquakes has been happening in this area, and a week before - earthquakes has been happening in this area, and a week before the i earthquakes has been happening ini this area, and a week before the big magnitude _ this area, and a week before the big magnitude earthquake _ this area, and a week before the big magnitude earthquake happened . magnitude earthquake happened monday, — magnitude earthquake happened monday, there _ magnitude earthquake happened monday, there were _ magnitude earthquake happened monday, there were see - magnitude earthquake happened monday, there were see three i monday, there were see three consecutive _ monday, there were see three consecutive earthquakes - monday, there were see three consecutive earthquakes in . monday, there were see three. consecutive earthquakes in that monday, there were see three - consecutive earthquakes in that area in a smaller— consecutive earthquakes in that area in a smaller mind _ consecutive earthquakes in that area in a smaller mind in— consecutive earthquakes in that area in a smaller mind in tune _ consecutive earthquakes in that area in a smaller mind in tune —— - in a smaller mind in tune —— magnitude _ here's one local scientist on why the 5.6—magnitude quake was so destructive.

it's close to a closely populated —— highly populated area. lots of landslides. it has had lots of landslides. it has had lots of landslides even before. also, i think lots of it is... that make the damage so large. let's turn to ukraine now. ukraine's security services have searched one of the country's most famous monasteries on suspicion it's being used by russia. the pechersk lavra monastery is a unesco world heritage site. it's in central kyiv and run by a branch of the orthodox church in ukraine, which had been under the jurisdiction of the russian orthodox church. in may, though, it cut ties with moscow in protest at its invasion of ukraine. today, police searched cars

and people at the entrance. they carried out id checks and searched bags of worshippers before letting them inside. the ukrainian security service — the sbu — carried out the search. in a statement, it said... they added... russia has criticised ukraine's searches. here is the kremlin spokesperson. translation: ukraine has long been at war with the russian orthodox church. we could see this as yet another link in the chain of these military actions against russian orthodox. the head of russian orthodox church has been a staunch supporter of president putin's war efforts in ukraine.

patriarch kirill of moscow is also a close ally of mr putin. this is him speaking back in april. translation: let the lord help us unite during this difficult time for our fatherland, including around the authorities. made the authorities be filled with— authorities. made the authorities be filled with responsibility for their people. — filled with responsibility for their people, humility and the readiness to serve _ people, humility and the readiness to serve them even if it cost them their— to serve them even if it cost them their life — that was april. today, the spokesman for the russian orthodox church criticised ukraine. he said... the bbc�*s zhanna bezpiatchuk is in kyiv. it's not something that is totally surprising — it's not something that is totally surprising for _ it's not something that is totally surprising for the _ it's not something that is totally surprising for the ukrainian - it's not something that is totally. surprising for the ukrainian public because _ surprising for the ukrainian public because one _ surprising for the ukrainian public because one is _ surprising for the ukrainian public because one is independent, - surprising for the ukrainian public because one is independent, andl surprising for the ukrainian public. because one is independent, and the other— because one is independent, and the other is—

let's hear from the head of ukraine's national power grid operator. translation: stations have been left untouched. for you to understand this scale of the attacks and we have to deal with, all major power stations have been damaged by missile attacks. we also don't have any unscathed key substations at ukraine's national power grid operator. the outside source team got into touch with one resident who's been speaking to us about her experience. i'm standing near the supermarket next to _ i'm standing near the supermarket next to my — i'm standing near the supermarket next to my home because there is no light, _ next to my home because there is no light, no— next to my home because there is no light, no electricity. we just found a place _ light, no electricity. we just found a place where they is power generators and a warm light bold, so if you _ generators and a warm light bold, so if you could _ generators and a warm light bold, so if you could hear me and see me. i

a fair way in. we could see some showers just about anywhere and likely to be most frequent in the west. temperature—wise, ishade likely to be most frequent in the west. temperature—wise, i shade up. —— a shade. low pressure sweeping in another band of rain across the uk. the positioning of this front might be slightly different wednesday's, might align itself more upright across the uk, which could mean we get higher total that the rain could be relatively drier in the east. at the moment, are predicted rainfall totals for some western parts of the uk are around 50 mm of rain. that whole system does move away for friday. we've got a brief ridge of high pressure, but the next low is not too far away. i can't promise a new tire the dry day for friday. it

looks like there could be some frequent showers across western scotland and a few drifting in from the west. but the winds will be lighter, should be relative sunshine �*s and temperatures around average. the next low is going to tap into some air. quite a way south in the atlantic, so saturday and sunday will maxis temperatures getting bolstered above average. but we are looking at a couple of very windy days and some further heavy rain to fall.

australia. it's now 2—1 to france against australia. we will keep an eye that. ina in a moment will get to how the government is appearance to expand its nuclear programme. the lack of accountability for gross human rights violations in iran remain persistent and contributing to the growing grievances.

over the weekend iran's revolutionary guards targeted kurdish—populated cities, in western iran. footage appears to show forces opening fire at protesters in the city ofjavan—rud. iran also launched drone strikes against kurdish rebels in iraq it accuses of stoking unrest back home. but the crackdown's done little to stop the unrest — in this video medical students from kurdistan university shout death to the dictator, a refrain that's become common. the protests have been going on for over eight weeks — after the death of masa amini, while in police custody in september. the attempts to crack down have been particularly deadly in the kurdish parts of the country. here's bbc persian's jiyar gol. in the last week just 72 people have been killed. they say 56 of them are from the kurdish region. it does explain, because last week the kurdish region has been the sea of mass protests. across that region we are talking about four provinces in northwest of iran. some of the cities are very small, but that kind of confrontation we have seen there. we've never seen before.

in another development, iran says it's started enriching uranium to 60% purity at its fordow plant south of tehran. the international atomic energy agency says iran will also build to 60% purity elsewhere, that's below the roughly 90% needed for weapons—grade material, but well above the the 3.67% cap agreed as part of the country's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. the united states says it can't confirm iran's a specialist in iran sanctions. thank you for your time on the bbc. given that some of the sites were

inafew in a few minutes we'll talk about your vision it's open interviewers voters still around the world. the labour leader sir keir starmer has said the uk must end what he called its "dependency" on immigration. sir keir said his priority was spending more on training workers who are already here. but, speaking to our political editor chris mason, he refused to commit to lowering overall immigration. plenty of businesses, urban and rural, are crying out for more workers. today, farmers gathered to talk about the problem. there's a strong chance that we'll put our business out of business. it's very difficult to see a way forward when we have no clear idea how we're going to recruit next year, and when the cost, the inflation that's built into that workforce every year, is going up in double digits.

enter keir starmer, talking to business leaders and trying to lay on the charm. labour is ready. we are a party that is proud of being pro—business, that respects the contribution profit makes to ourjobs, growth and our tax base. but labour are determined to learn a lesson of brexit — a concern about too much immigration. our common goal must be to help the british economy off its immigration dependency. to start investing more in training workers who are already here. so, what does keir starmer say to those businesses desperate to bring in more workers from abroad? you're effectively saying, no, or not as much as they would like. well, what i'm saying is we've got to look at the short—term, but we can't always just have a sticking plaster. is immigration right now too high? if what's driving it is a skills failure, then we need to address that, and that means that in areas

where we are overreliant on immigration because we haven't fixed the skills problem, i'd like to see that immigration come down. plenty here don't buy keir starmer�*s argument about immigration, but they are giving labour a fresh look. saudi arabia has declared a public holiday after a shock when against argentina in the world cup. returning to the world cup, where the match between australia and france is well under way. a number of french cities are boycotting the tournament, citing concerns about abuses of migrant workers' rights in qatar and the environmental impact of the tournament. the cities — which include paris, marseille, lille and bordeaux,

have refused to install giant tv screens — as they have in the past, to show world cup matches in fan—zones. here's the deputy mayor of bordeaux, celine papin. the mayor of bordeaux was one of the very first french mayors to have expressed this desire not to endorse this world cup. which is pushing climate costs at a time when citizens are called for energy sobriety. of course, we cannot stay blind in front of what can be named as a humanitarian scandal. we know it's already thanks to an investigation that 6500 workers have lost their lives during the construction of those stadiums. perhaps even more. so, yes, bordeaux will not work broadcast match to promote the competition. joining me is french sports journalist lisa leroux.

that includes that includes taking british, american, and taiwanese politicians in tweets byjuly. whose trail will not start until the 1st of december. prosecutors say by holding these meetings known as the lunchbox club. jim knight and these six people conspired to call for foreign sanctions on china and hong kong. advocacy group reporters without borders said in october that imprisoning mr lai and his former colleagues would set a dangerous resident for press freedom as beijing tightens its grip on a semi—autonomous country. now — eurovision has announced major changes to next year's contest. for the first time — countries who aren't competing will have a say on who goes through. eurovision is an international songwriting competition organised annually by the european broadcasting union, featuring participants representing

primarily european countries. this year's contest took place in turin. ukraine's kalush orchestra won the event. president zelensky congratulated them on their win saying let's speak to steve holden, host of the official eurovision song contest podcast. help me through all of this. how is the voting going to work? . there are two major— the voting going to work? . there are two major changes _ the voting going to work? . there are two major changes next - the voting going to work? . there are two major changes next year. j the voting going to work? . there are two major changes next year. in the semifinal was at the moment is this 50-50 — the semifinal was at the moment is this 50—50 split between the public boat~ _ this 50—50 split between the public boat~ so— this 50—50 split between the public boat. so you and i voted for who would _ boat. so you and i voted for who would like — boat. so you and i voted for who would like and a professionaljury. in a would like and a professionaljury. in a semi — would like and a professionaljury. in a semi finals next year those professionaljury being eliminated from the — professionaljury being eliminated from the vote. in its power to the people _ from the vote. in its power to the people so— from the vote. in its power to the people so on the public home with the sight _ people so on the public home with the sight of who goes through from the sight of who goes through from the semi _ the sight of who goes through from the semi finals to the grand final. in the grand final itself there will

the eurovision contest will be in liverpool. thank for what an outside source. goodbye. hello. yet another day of lively weather to come across the uk this wednesday. we start the day with a band of rain sweeping its way in from the southwest. it should quickly move through, but then, as the sun comes out, anticipate some lively showers as well. here's the rain first thing out towards the southwest, and then through the morning, it quickly sweeps across england and wales, pulls out of northern ireland, comes to settle across central scotland by lunchtime, and then will slowly work its way northwards here through the afternoon. brighter skies following on, yes. it will stay windy throughout the day, gales possible around our irish sea coasts, and those winds are going to carry in some pretty punchy showers and carry them a fair way east. so, we could see some showers just about anywhere — they're likely to be frequent, though, in the west. temperature—wise, a shade up

on the figures we saw at the start of the week, around average values. that front�*s out of the way later on on wednesday, but here we go thursday, doing it all again, and low pressure sweeping in another band of rain across the uk. now, the positioning of this front might be slightly different to wednesday's, might align itself more uprightly, if you like, across the uk, which could mean we get higher totals towards the west, as the rain may stall here for a time. it could the relatively drier in the east, but that could be subject to change as we get closer to the time, so do bear that in mind. but at the moment, our predicted rainfall totals for some western parts of the uk through the course of wednesday and thursday are around 50 mm of rain — that's around two inches — particularly across many western counties. that whole system does move away for friday. we get a brief little ridge of high pressure here, but we can see the next low is not far away in the atlantic. i can't, unfortunately, promise an entirely dry day for friday either — it looks like there could be some pretty frequent showers across western scotland

and a few drifting in from the west elsewhere. but the winds will be lighter, there should be a lot of sunshine, and our temperatures around average for the time of year. that next low waiting in the winds to come in for the weekend is going to tap us into some air, and quite a way south into the atlantic. so, actually, saturday and sunday, we'll see our temperatures getting bolstered. i think they'll sit a couple of degrees above average quite widely across the uk, but we are looking at a couple of very windy days and some further heavy rain to follow during the week ahead.

hello, i'm ros atkins. welcome to outside source. saudi arabia declares a public holiday after its shock win against argentina in the world cup. meanwhile australia and world cup champions france are playing with france scoring again, bringing the score to 2—1. staying with football, cristiano ronaldo is to leave manchester united with immediate effect. he plays for portugal in their tournament opener on thursday. in other news, the search for survivors continues for survivors continues in indonesia. at least 268 people have died. translation: the other people were

on the highest floor. _ they managed to be rescued. my brother—in—law was on the first floor. the ruins fell on him. and as ukraine braces for a harsh winter, we'll speak to a woman in kyiv about how she's coping in the blackouts, which are expected to last for months. let's start with the men's world cup in doha. australia and defending champions france are playing at the moment. first though to one of the biggest upsets in the history of the tournament. these pictures show saudi fans celebrating after saudi arabia defeated argentina two to one. to put that into context, argentina is currently third in the fifa world rankings and it hasn't been defeated for 36 matches straight. and saudi arabia is 51st. so, how has all this been received in saudi arabia? here's marwa helmy from bbc arabic. they are so happy with this win because saudi arabia never win the first game in the world cup history.

so, it's the sixth time for them in the world cup, and they never won the first game in their history, so it was like a hit for them — "wow." they are now having the hope to reach far away in this tournament. saudi arabia has the strongest league among the arabic countries, actually. they have a very good level competing with clubs, and they are so good in asia. they have very good players. but in saudi arabia, in qatar, in this country, they don't play outside saudi arabia, so some people or some of us feel like, are they having the experience they need to compete in the world cup? so, that's why competing with argentina, south american teams or european teams, it was like, are they going to do it or not?

lucy hockings has more on the reaction from saudi fans in doha. people are calling it one of the biggest upset in world cup history and the celebrations are remarkable. where i'm standing, you might be able to hear the music in the background. music plays. that's the sound of thousands of saudi fans who adapt their fun park right here, and they haven't stopped partying since that result came through. —— who are at their fan parks. i've talked to some of them, they are absolutely thrilled about 13 �*s performance, sense of shock and surprise as well, but what's interesting is the number of qatari people also down there, women, men and children, you might remember there had been at travel and trade ban between saudi and qatar between 2017 and 2021, so tension between

the countries that ended, and really, there's no sign of any of that here tonight, qatari people saying they're here to support their neighbours, all teams from the arab world, and everyone here is what closely for some so a huge sense of celebration. the other thing that was lovely about watching the match from here is the studio next to ours belongs to saudi tv and so the moment they won, there was so much noise, quite a cacophony, so i went next door and grabbed a few of their journalists and brought them into our studio to ask what their reaction was their victory. shall our studio to ask what their reaction was their victory. all the -la ers reaction was their victory. all the players do _ reaction was their victory. all the players do their— reaction was their victory. all the players do their best _ reaction was their victory. all the players do their best and - reaction was their victory. all the players do their best and we - reaction was their victory. all the players do their best and we are | players do their best and we are proud about what they did. what proud about what they did. what does this mean to — proud about what they did. what does this mean to everybody _ proud about what they did. what does this mean to everybody back- proud about what they did. what does this mean to everybody back home? l this mean to everybody back home? firstly, special thanks for our players. _ firstly, special thanks for our players, and our coach. so i can't explain _ players, and our coach. so i can't explain that! _ players, and our coach. so i can't explain that! i'm so happy, yeah. white _ explain that! i'm so happy, yeah. white maggot was ever at home

doha where there was a queue to get into the fan zone that is right here. and they mentioned that everyone was allowed to stop work to watch the match. we now know, as you mention, a national holiday has been declared in saudi arabia to celebrate this victory. that's how excited they are about what they witnessed today. in terms of the argentinians, i went to look for a few fans. they were incredibly subdued. when i push them, they said they were angry, yes, definitely sad, but their main feeling was one of confusion. there's not quite sure what went wrong. the inquest may go on for sometime around the argentinian team. that's one of the results the pitch. off the pitch you may have seen these pictures from last night, when the former wales women's football captain laura mcallister was told to remove her rainbow bucket hat ahead of wales' opener against the us. the hat shows support for lgbtq+ rights. homosexuality is illegal in qatar. today we've been hearing from her.

i need to speak for the lgbt people at home who didn't feel able to come to doha because of the regime and its position on gay rights, and also because, as i said, we have to live our values. we're all horribly compromised by being here, make no mistake, so by being here, we also have to make sure we don't compromise on our values, and our values are around lgbt rights. so of course we aren't going to give up our hats. it's a symbol, no more than that, but it's an important symbol. now, a story that connects to the world cup that isn'tjust about it. cristiano ronaldo is leaving manchester united with immediate effect. confirmation came in this tweet by the club, which added... it's perhaps not the most surprising development. last week, ronaldo gave a controversial interview criticising the club. he also said he had "no respect" for the manager erik ten hag.

perhaps this was the only outcome that was going to come about after that. i've been talking to a fan of manchester united. when you say things about the manager at likey said, there's absolutely no way you could keep him on because it would just undermined everything. bud on because it would 'ust undermined eve hina. �* on because it would 'ust undermined eve hint. , everything. and as manchester united have acknowledged _ everything. and as manchester united have acknowledged in _ everything. and as manchester united have acknowledged in their _ have acknowledged in their statement, he has had two spells at the club, the first one he was younger, this one much more recently fulton how do you think fans will view him? how do you view him given he's had a lot of high points but it's been a difficult a couple of weeks? i’d it's been a difficult a couple of weeks? �* ~ ., it's been a difficult a couple of weeks? �* ~' ., ~' it's been a difficult a couple of weeks? �* ~ ., ~ ., ,., weeks? i'd like to think about the aood weeks? i'd like to think about the good things. _ weeks? i'd like to think about the good things. for— weeks? i'd like to think about the good things, for his _ weeks? i'd like to think about the good things, for his first - weeks? i'd like to think about the good things, for his first spell - good things, for his first spell he was absolutely superb. and probably i would say the best player i've ever seen play for manchester united when he was at his best. i don't want recent events to spoil that. but sadly, he has behaved in a way that's not acceptable. truth be told, its got to come down to a simple, brutalfact that told, its got to come down to a simple, brutal fact that he's just not good enough any more and cannot

accept that. time and age waits for no man, and sadly, his powers are on the wane. he has to accept, like i say, that he is not what he was. so i would like to remember him as he was, one of the greatest players to play for manchester united, and i hope fans will remember that. you sa his hope fans will remember that. you say his powers _ hope fans will remember that. you say his powers are on the wane, particularly in the first few months when he came back to the club, he scored an awful lot of goals, so you might argue the problem isn't him, the problem is the club not behaving the problem is the club not behaving the way a top club should, that was his argument in the interview? it his argument in the interview? it was, but to be honest, if he had gone to a good side, i don't think it has seen him struggle quite so much. but united currently have aren't a good site was that we are in transition, were struggling, and we need somebody that's at the top of the game and that's not him, sadly, he is coming to the end of his career as difficult as it is to

accept that. and he's kept himself in fantastic shape but, like i say, modern football is all about being a top athlete and at 37 years old, 37 years of age, he is sadly not a top athlete any more, it's just not possible. and he's probably more disruptive influence than he is a good influence. so it's best that he moves on. next, we turn to indonesia, where rescuers are searching for survivors of monday's devastating earthquake. 268 people are now known to have died. over 1,000 people are injured. the 5.6 magnitude quake struck the island of java, 100 kilometres from the capital, jakarta. one of the worst affected areas is cianjur. it's densely populated and residents live in poorly—built homes. this used to be a three—storey home. within, four people survived when it collapsed, but the body of a 28—year—old has been recovered. here's a relative of the family.

translation: the other people were on the highest floor. _ they managed to be rescued. my brother—in—law was on the first floor. the ruins fell on him. the quake struck at 1pm local time, when many children were at school. many of them were crushed or trapped as walls and roofs caved in. this is one mother's experience. translation: at that - moment, i told my daughter to wash her hands after eating, so she was walking to the bathroom, then there was the quake and it was intense. a wall collapsed on her from the neck down. i could only see her head. there was also a full thermos knocked over by the falling wall, and her hips and legs were burnt by the hot water. 150 people are still missing. these pictures give you a sense of the scale of devastation and the huge clean—up ahead. in total, around 22,000 homes have been damaged. the bbc�*s valdya baraputri

is in cianjur. the closer to the epicentre of the earthquake, the more visible the damage, some beyond repair. people are too afraid to go back to their houses. well, as you can see, the slanted floors are very prone to collapsing, even with the smallest aftershock. 58,000 people have been forced from their homes. many are now living in makeshift tents like these. there are shortages of drinking water, food and blankets. next, let's hear from troy pantow, from save the children indonesia. save the children are preparing to distribute around 1250 shelters, family hygiene kits, around 1000, and also 1000 hygiene kits for children. and also, we're setting up family spaces in five locations for the next two weeks for the children. also, we are preparing to send 5000 masks,

because we are still in the middle of the covid pandemic. the area the quake hit is prone to landslides. as you can see from these drone pictures, homes, roads and vehicles have all been swept away. today, the indonesian president, joko widodo, visited the worst—hit region and delivered this promise. translation: the government will provide assistance to those | whose homes suffered heavy, light or moderate damage. the priority is to rescue victims still trapped first. earthquakes are not unusual in the region. here's astudestra ajengrastri from the bbc�*s indonesian service injakarta. this area actually is very common . for earthquake to happen because it is located on an active seismic location. - on the last two decades, _ earthquakes has been happening in

this area, and a week before the big magnitude earthquake happened . monday, there were see three - consecutive earthquakes in that area in a smaller magnitude. there's more on that story on the bbc news website. stay with me, in a few minutes, we will talk about developments in the eurovision song contest because it's developments in the eurovision song contest because its opening up voting to viewers around the world in the semifinals. we will explain how this works.

outside source you are in the bbc newsroom. our lead story, saudi

arabia has declared a public holiday after its shock win over argentina in the world cup. let's turn to ukraine now. ukraine's security services have searched one of the country's most famous monasteries on suspicion it's being used by russia. the pechersk lavra monastery is a unesco world heritage site. it's in central kyiv and run by a branch of the orthodox church in ukraine, which had been under the jurisdiction of the russian orthodox church. in may, though, it cut ties with moscow in protest at its invasion of ukraine. today, police searched cars and people at the entrance. they carried out id checks and searched bags of worshippers before letting them inside. the ukrainian security service — the sbu — carried out the search. in a statement, it said... they added...

russia has criticised ukraine's searches. here is the kremlin spokesperson. translation: ukraine has long been at war with - the russian orthodox church. we could see this as yet another link in the chain of these military actions against russian orthodox. the head of the russian orthodox church has been a staunch supporter of president putin's war efforts in ukraine. patriarch kirill of moscow is also a close ally of mr putin. this is him speaking back in april. translation: let the lord help us unite during - this difficult time for our fatherland, including around the authorities. may the authorities be filled with responsibility for their people, humility and the readiness to serve them even if it cost them their life. that was in april. today, the spokesman for the russian orthodox church criticised ukraine. he said...

the bbc�*s zhanna bezpiatchuk is in kyiv. it's not something that is totally surprising for the ukrainian public because ukraine has two orthodox demoninations, one is independent, and the other is linked to the russian orthodox church. it was heavily criticised before the war for the corruption of its leadership. and the possible close ties with russian forces and pro—russian forces in ukraine. so there is a big fear that this monastery still shares and spreads pro—russian propaganda and that substantial

changes to how it will work because for the first time countries who are not competing will have a say on who goes through from the semis into the final. if you're not familiar with all of this, univision is an international songwriting competition that takes place every year. it's a big dealfor people who are into it. this year's contest took place in turin and was won by ukraine. next year it will be held in liverpool, which saw off glasgow to become the first city in the uk to become the first city in the uk to host eurovision since birmingham backin to host eurovision since birmingham back in 1998, and i've been speaking to the host of the official eurovision song contest podcast about how these changes will work. so there are two major changes next year. firstly, in the semifinals, currently, which take place before the grand final on tuesday and thursday, at the moment, it's a 50-50 thursday, at the moment, it's a 50—50 split between the public vote, so you and i voting for who we like, and professionaljuries who make up half the score. in the semifinals next year, those professionaljuries

are being eliminated, essentially, from the vote, so its power to the people, so only the public at home will decide who goes through from the semifinals to the grand final. in the grand final itself there will still be a professionaljury on each country to make up half the marks. and the other really exciting development is that countries are people from countries that do not competing eurovision from next year will be able to vote for their favourite act, meaning there will be a rest of the world vote. so eurovision, it's been like this for a while, but it is true that going global. 50 a while, but it is true that going ulobal. , ., �* ., . global. so wherever you're watching, ou'll be global. so wherever you're watching, you'll be able — global. so wherever you're watching, you'll be able to _ global. so wherever you're watching, you'll be able to vote _ global. so wherever you're watching, you'll be able to vote in _ global. so wherever you're watching, you'll be able to vote in the - you'll be able to vote in the semifinals, at least. just a quick reminder of the game that's going on at the world cup right now. we are into the second half. it's france against australia. the australians took the lead, which raised a few eyebrows, but the french have taken back control and are one up. olivier giroud scored, but whatever happened

in that game, the headlines belong to saudi arabia, which has declared a public holiday after saudi arabia beat argentina earlier. thanks for watching, see you soon. goodbye. hello. yet another day of lively weather to come across the uk this wednesday. we start the day with a band of rain sweeping its way in from the southwest — it should quickly move through, but then, as the sun comes out, anticipate some lively showers, as well. here's the rain first thing out towards the southwest, and then, through the morning, it quickly sweeps across england and wales, pulls out of northern ireland, comes to settle across central scotland by lunchtime, and then, will slowly work its way northwards here through the afternoon. brighter skies following on — yes, it will stay windy throughout the day, gales possible around our irish sea coasts, and those winds will carry in some pretty punchy showers and carry them a fair way east. so, we could see some showers just about anywhere —

they're likely to be frequent, though, in the west. temperature—wise, a shade up on the figures we saw at the start of the week, around average values. that front�*s out of the way later on on wednesday, but here we go thursday, doing it all again, and low pressure sweeping in another band of rain across the uk. now, the positioning of this front might be slightly different to wednesday's, might align itself more uprightly, if you like, across the uk, which could mean we get higher totals towards the west, as the rain may stall here for a time — it could the relatively drier in the east, but that could be subject to change as we get closer to the time, so do bear that in mind. but at the moment, our predicted rainfall totals for some western parts of the uk through the course of wednesday and thursday are around 50mm of rain — that's around two inches — particularly across many western counties. that whole system, though, does move away for friday. we get a brief little ridge of high pressure here, but you can see the next low is not far away in the atlantic. i can't, unfortunately, promise an entirely dry day for friday either — it looks like there could be some pretty frequent showers across western scotland, and a few drifting in

from the west elsewhere. but the winds will be lighter, there should be a lot of sunshine, and our temperatures around average for the time of year. that next low waiting in the winds to come in for the weekend will tap us into some air, and quite a way south into the atlantic. so, actually, saturday and sunday, we'll see our temperatures getting bolstered, i think they'll sit a couple of degrees above average quite widely across the uk. but we are looking at a couple of very windy days, and some further heavy rain to follow during the week ahead.

i'm shaun ley, you're watching bbc news, here are the headlines. rmt announces four separate 48 hour real strikes, two of them just days

before christmas. the mother of two young children killed in a house fire on sunday has died. the un denounces the hardening of iran's response to nationwide protests, more than 300 people have died in antigovernment demonstrations in the last two months. christiano ronaldo is leaving manchester united with the immediate effect. an abrupt and for an old trafford legend, it came after rinaldo claimed he had no respect for manager erik ten hag in an interview. saudi arabia p argentina, still one of the favourites to lift the trophy. —— beat argentina. good to have your company here on bbc news. our top story this hour is the rail passengers strike across britain, with passengers facing fresh disruption over christmas as the rmt announces strike action by members

and their long—running dispute over conditions. staff who work at network rail and also for 14 of the train operating companies are due to stage a series of 48 hour strikes, held on 13—14 december, 16— december december, and the 6—7 of january. held on 13—14 december, 16— december december, and the 6—7 ofjanuary. in addition to that, the rmt general secretary announced the union will impose an overtime ban beginning a week before christmas and continuing after the new year. now that could have even bigger disruptive impact because the train operators don't employ enough staff to be able to operate without overtime. that is critical to this industry. here's katie austin. christmas is coming, but so are more train strikes, and within weeks of disruption.

this latest round of strikes will show how important our members are to the running of the country and will send a clear message that we want a good deal on job security, pay and conditions. we have been reasonable but it is impossible to find a negotiated settlement when the dead hand of the government is presiding over and blocking a resolution in these talks. last week, the rmt announced its members had voted in favour of further strike action potentially lasting into next spring. unions and rail employers have been in intensive talks after strikes that were planned for earlier this month were called off. but the rmt says it didn't get the new proposals it was hoping for during the talks. today, the union urged passengers to be angry at the government not rail workers. the government does have final sign—off on what is agreed, but it says it is that the employers and unions to come to an agreement between them that is fair to workers, taxpayers and passengers.

the rail industry argues covid left the railway in a financial hole and reforms are needed to afford higher pay. is it a case that the reason talks haven't been able to make more progress is because the government isn't allowing you to make the offer that you want? we want to sit down with the rmt and work forward, but there are details of both sides that still need to be resolved. that's an area we want to talk to the rmt about. but strike action will not resolve that. it's actually sitting at the table and making sure we can try and get a final agreement on the reform package that then allows us to put forward a sensible offer to people. for businesses which depend on people coming to visit like those in blackpool, today's news have dampened their hopes for the festive season. anything that's going to knock us back at that time is going to have a hugely detrimental impact financially. we are still recovering from covid. the transport secretary is expected

to meet the rmt�*s mick lynch this week, but as things stand, more travel misery lies ahead. katie austin, bbc news. earlier the rmt's katie austin, bbc news. earlier the rmt�*s president spoke to jane hill and told her the talks had broken down. f and told her the talks had broken down. j ., ., ., down. they've not made a written ro osal down. they've not made a written proposal in _ down. they've not made a written proposal in that _ down. they've not made a written proposal in that entire _ down. they've not made a written proposal in that entire period - down. they've not made a written proposal in that entire period of. proposal in that entire period of six months. in fact, they pulled out of the meeting yesterday were they guaranteed to me personally that they would put a written proposal on they would put a written proposal on the table that we would consider today, and they cancel that meeting with 55 minutes notice, we believe that's down to the tory government, the secretary of state who want to keep this dispute going for their own reasons. because i know and so does the industry leaders that there's an agreement that could be written up in a few hours. if

finances. in that time, the train operators and others have posted profits of £500 million. they did not lose a pandemic democrat penny during the pandemic and every time i go on strike, the department for transport writes them a check in excess of £30 million and they make no losses whatsoever during the strike. the only people that lose out our our members who don't get paid in the travelling public who don't get trained.— don't get trained. ashok kumar specialises _ don't get trained. ashok kumar specialises in _ don't get trained. ashok kumar specialises in labour _ don't get trained. ashok kumar specialises in labour relations. | specialises in labour relations. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. there doesn't seem to be much of the way relations at the moment, what's gone wrong? it’s be much of the way relations at the moment, what's gone wrong? it's very clear that if you — moment, what's gone wrong? it's very clear that if you have _ moment, what's gone wrong? it's very clear that if you have a _ moment, what's gone wrong? it's very clear that if you have a direct - clear that if you have a direct negotiation between an employer and an employee, a strike is a way — it's almost like a battle of wits and strengths. so if an employee is

willing to take the cuts to their salary and the employer is willing to take cuts to their profits, then at some point they'll meet and negotiate. the problem is network rail is an arm's—length negotiation of the government, they are doing to a large extent what the government is saying. so you have the inability to bring them to the table because there's a real deep ideological position that they don't want to concede to the rmt�*s demands without modernisation, which is basically job insecurity. it’s modernisation, which is basically job insecurity-— job insecurity. it's interesting because he — job insecurity. it's interesting because he makes _ job insecurity. it's interesting because he makes this i job insecurity. it's interesting i because he makes this argument job insecurity. it's interesting - because he makes this argument that it's really the dead hand of the government preventing progress in negotiations, it's certainly true that any extra costs train companies... will eventually go to the taxpayer. but isn't also fair to say that when you're talking about changes such as closing ticket

offices, reorganising staff and all the rest of it, the companies are perfectly able to do that, the union knows that's what unions do? they don't expect the department of work to be involved that. isn't it convenient for unions to say it's the fault of government when actually they just haven't the fault of government when actually theyjust haven't been able to persuade the management to adopt its plans? is to persuade the management to adopt its lans? , . , ., its plans? is deafly part of the government's _ its plans? is deafly part of the government's plan, _ its plans? is deafly part of the government's plan, but i its plans? is deafly part of the government's plan, but it's i its plans? is deafly part of the i government's plan, but it's written into the contract. —— it's definitely part. the government cut £4 million from the rail operators and gave millions during covid — when people say that they took losses during covid, they actually didn't, they saw large profits, but members of the rmt did see wage increases in the last few years. the proposals from the government are coming from network rail, and that's a percent over two years is not taking into account... a percent over two years is not taking into account. . .- a percent over two years is not taking into account... forgive me, i understand — taking into account... forgive me, i understand the _ taking into account... forgive me, i understand the point _ taking into account... forgive me, i understand the point you're - taking into account... forgive me, i | understand the point you're making, its the point the union makes, but it's the point the union makes, but lots of areas of the public sector

have not had pay rises, this is also an industry where people often do a lot of overtime, and that's what makes the overtime been so significant in this announcement because this is an industry where the employer has allowed a situation to flourish where it doesn't hire enough staff and it relies on voluntary overtime.- enough staff and it relies on voluntary overtime. what you're sa in: voluntary overtime. what you're saying right _ voluntary overtime. what you're saying right now— voluntary overtime. what you're saying right now is _ voluntary overtime. what you're saying right now is that - voluntary overtime. what you're saying right now is that there i voluntary overtime. what you're | saying right now is that there are people that have taken pay freezes — the fact is that half a million was given to profits that was directly subsidised by the government during covid. so you're saying for shareholders, 40% increases, half £1 million for the executives of network rail and other places, but the people who exit work on the rail... ~ . �* ., the people who exit work on the rail... ~ . �* , ., rail... what i'm asking is that in the end, rail... what i'm asking is that in the end. the — rail... what i'm asking is that in the end, the argument - rail... what i'm asking is that in | the end, the argument advances rail... what i'm asking is that in i the end, the argument advances a dispute between the employer and employee, which is in the interest of the employees to solve...

especially in labour relations whether you see a way through this? the way you see through this if you have an rti at 11%, the union is asking for 7%, the public was overwhelmingly supportive of the strikes— much more than you've seen in polling history, and that's precisely because lots of people went through the cost—of—living crisis. there is no neutral position on this. if you think that rail workers shouldn't get a pay cut, or a severe pay cut, they are willing to accept it, but not a severe pay cut, then you see the government is being intransigent, or network rail as being intransigent. but if you think workers should take a pay cut, then your position is that they should not go on strike. it's basically which position you believe in taking? i think most of the public believe that workers shouldn't get a severe pay cut, especially when you're seeing

executive pay go up by 40% on average, and top companies making huge profits in the last few years. thank you very much. portugal forward cristiano ronaldo is leaving manchester united, and he's gone. the decision follows an interview in which the 37—year—old player criticised the club, saying he had no respect for erik ten hag and accused them of not respecting him. the club announced... and he himself also tweeted to say that it was also by mutual consent, and that he was sorry to be leaving, and that he was sorry to be leaving, and he has deep affection and love for the club. let's talk to kaylee bishop and sam pilcher, thank you both for being with us. what a day, starting off with an extraordinary

exceptional circumstances. but we've seen so many problems there as you say. wishing overcrowding, disease, drug dealing, we had one migrant there who died recently, having arrived on a boatjust a week ago. but the fact that the weather has turned for the worst, we haven't had any migrants crossing the channel now for well over a week — there's four manchester is doing what supposed to do. it should be empty, but of course a problem hasn't been solved. but we actually have seen is the weather stopping people arriving, and we've also seen the home office expanding the hotel accommodation, already costing nearly £6 million a day. so the problem hasn't gone away, but the home office will have their fingers firmly crossed that the weather remains choppy for more to come in

we are a party that is proud of being pro—business, that respects the contribution profit makes to ourjobs, growth and our tax base. but labour are determined to learn a lesson of brexit — a concern about too much immigration. our common goal must be to help the british economy off its immigration dependency. to start investing more in training workers who are already here. what a change. yes, it's been in the offing for a while but it's worth emphasising what this amounts to. from the party that oversaw a huge increase in immigration from central and eastern europe less than two decades ago, and from a man who when he campaigned for the labour leadership three years ago advocated maintaining freedom of movement with the european union. so, what does keir starmer say to those businesses desperate to bring in more workers from abroad? you're effectively saying, no,

or not as much as they would like. well, what i'm saying is we've got to look at the short—term, but we can't always just have a sticking plaster. is immigration right now too high? if what's driving it is a skills failure, then we need to address that, and that means that in areas where we are overreliant on immigration because we haven't fixed the skills problem, i'd like to see that immigration come down. i'm not sure that was an answer, though. is it too high? well, chris, i'm not going to pluck an arbitrary number and say that's the right number. but do you want it to come down? one of the drivers of immigration is that we've got hundreds of thousands of people who were in the workforce just two or three years ago and now aren't because they can't get access to health treatment for mental health treatment. i want to fix that problem. plenty here don't buy keir starmer�*s argument about immigration, but they are giving labour a fresh look. chris mason, bbc news, in birmingham.

for the nhs, and jonathan walker, deputy political editor at the sunday express, finding out what tories really think of the budget and whether they're worried the chancellor might�*ve gone soft on brexit. now time for a look at the weather with susan powell. hello. yet another day of lively weather to come across the uk this wednesday. we start the day with a band of rain sweeping its way in from the southwest — it should quickly move through, but then, as the sun comes out, anticipate some lively showers, as well. here's the rain first thing out towards the southwest, and then, through the morning, it quickly sweeps across england and wales, pulls out of northern ireland, comes to settle across central scotland by lunchtime, and then, will slowly work its way northwards here through the afternoon. brighter skies following on — yes, it will stay windy throughout the day, gales possible around our irish sea coasts, and those winds will carry in some pretty punchy showers and carry them a fair way east. so, we could see some showers just about anywhere — they're likely to be frequent, though, in the west. temperature—wise, a shade up

on the figures we saw at the start of the week, around average values. that front�*s out of the way later on on wednesday, but here we go thursday, doing it all again, and low pressure sweeping in another band of rain across the uk. now, the positioning of this front might be slightly different to wednesday's, might align itself more uprightly, if you like, across the uk, which could mean we get higher totals towards the west, as the rain may stall here for a time — it could the relatively drier in the east, but that could be subject to change as we get closer to the time, so do bear that in mind. but at the moment, our predicted rainfall totals for some western parts of the uk through the course of wednesday and thursday are around 50mm of rain — that's around two inches — particularly across many western counties. that whole system, though, does move away for friday. we get a brief little ridge of high pressure here, but you can see the next low is not far away in the atlantic. i can't, unfortunately, promise an entirely dry day for friday either — it looks like there could be some pretty frequent showers across western scotland, and a few drifting in

from the west elsewhere. but the winds will be lighter, there should be a lot of sunshine, and our temperatures around average for the time of year. that next low waiting in the winds to come in for the weekend will tap us into some air, and quite a way south into the atlantic. so, actually, saturday and sunday, we'll see our temperatures getting bolstered, i think they'll sit a couple of degrees above average quite widely across the uk. but we are looking at a couple of very windy days, and some further heavy rain to follow during the week ahead.
