we know previously and it is reiterated in a story that suella braverman was to crack down on the number of dependents foreign students can bring over. currently, they can bring over a few people with them from some nationalities they tend not to countries they do tend to bring lots of members of theirfamily, their parents, their spouse, their kids, and suella braverman has been working applies whittle that whittle that down. that number today was very big, immigrants this year, and it is going to cause a, and notjust among the the conservative party is always talk about bringing down immigration. i think that rishi sunak is going to want to get the number down heading into the next election. a ., number down heading into the next election. ., , ., ., ~ number down heading into the next election. ., .,~ ., election. matthew, what you make of the front page _ election. matthew, what you make of the front page of _ election. matthew, what you make of the front page of the _ election. matthew, what you make of the front page of the times? - election. matthew, what you make of the front page of the times? you - election. matthew, what you make of the front page of the times? you can i the front page of the times? you can smell the panic. _ the front page of the times? you can smell the panic, you _ the front page of the times? you can smell the panic, you can _ the front page of the times? you can smell the panic, you can almost - smell the panic, you can almost smell_ smell the panic, you can almost

nhs and nobody will argue against recruiting nurses and doctors from abroad so that is why you are lighting on this foreign student number, it is the least contentious of that figure number to try and get smaller. �* , ., ., ., smaller. ok, let's move onto the front of the _ smaller. ok, let's move onto the front of the guardian, _ smaller. ok, let's move onto the front of the guardian, and - smaller. ok, let's move onto the front of the guardian, and we - smaller. ok, let's move onto thej front of the guardian, and we are going to look at strikes, something that most people won't have been able to avoid, and it certainly looks that way as we head towards christmas. a colourful picture there, matthew, talk us through what there, matthew, talk us through what the guardian are going with. the icture is the guardian are going with. the picture is actually from north of the anglo — picture is actually from north of the anglo scottish border, that is in glasgow, teachers have been going on strike _ in glasgow, teachers have been going on strike and those are children seemingly in support of their teachers _ seemingly in support of their teachers are striking, but the wider question— teachers are striking, but the wider question for the country is just teachers are striking, but the wider question for the country isjust how many— question for the country isjust how many different sectors of our society— many different sectors of our society will go on strike in the coming — society will go on strike in the coming weeks and it looks as though nurses— coming weeks and it looks as though nurses weii, — coming weeks and it looks as though nurses well, i think that will be their— nurses well, i think that will be their first — nurses well, i think that will be their first nationwide strike,

slightly more tacky, economic argument, which is if you give these big inflation busting pay rises, it is not good for the economy because you feel that inflationary spiral. sadly, i think this will be a huge row this winter and i think we are onlyjust approaching it. we have got quite used to have any railway strikes, they are a total pain in awfulfor strikes, they are a total pain in awful for business and i know the hospitality businesses are very worried about them over the festive season but going into winter proper, you are looking at this along vast swathes of society, hospital, schools, travel network, we haven't seen strikes like this in a generation, really, ithink seen strikes like this in a generation, really, i think we all need to brace for that because that will be really, really difficult for everybody. brute will be really, really difficult for everybody-— will be really, really difficult for eve bod. ~ . ., everybody. we have heard positive soundin: everybody. we have heard positive sounding -ish _ everybody. we have heard positive sounding -ish noises, _ everybody. we have heard positive sounding -ish noises, in _ everybody. we have heard positive sounding -ish noises, in terms - everybody. we have heard positive sounding -ish noises, in terms of i sounding —ish noises, in terms of some other disputes but it doesn't seem like we are close to resolution on all them. i

fully staffed on a saturday, on a sunday, like it would be on a tuesday or wednesday. before i was a political reporter, i was a court reporter and we did lots of inquests and one thing that came up time and time again was the higher death rate at weekends, so they are passing this notion —— motion right when the political conversation is about getting them to work longer hours, more flexible hours so people can access it all through the week. there is a difference between longer hours and flexible hours because i think anyone who speaks to gps, they don't put their feet up and have an easy time, they are working pretty hard and they are pretty stretched, but the issue, matthew, is that with that flexibility?— that flexibility? look, nine until five, to a that flexibility? look, nine until five. to a lot — that flexibility? look, nine until five, to a lot of _ that flexibility? look, nine until five, to a lot of people, - that flexibility? look, nine until five, to a lot of people, will- that flexibility? look, nine until. five, to a lot of people, will sound quite _ five, to a lot of people, will sound quite a _ five, to a lot of people, will sound quite a cushy deal, given that gps

and their coffers. and also for the country. we have had an incredibly tumultuous time, three prime ministers, the longest recession in 100, cost of living crisis, i think we all deserve to have a few beers down the pub and hopefully see a victory tomorrow.— down the pub and hopefully see a victory tomorrow. beers down the tub, let's victory tomorrow. beers down the pub. let's go _ victory tomorrow. beers down the pub. let's go to — victory tomorrow. beers down the pub, let's go to the _ victory tomorrow. beers down the pub, let's go to the front - victory tomorrow. beers down the pub, let's go to the front page - victory tomorrow. beers down the pub, let's go to the front page of| pub, let's go to the front page of the daily star, matthew, but of friday is what they are going with, people will be doing their bit watching the game, but that is not necessary doing a bit in the office. no, i suspect most people will leave early so _ no, i suspect most people will leave early so you might say the benefits for the _ early so you might say the benefits for the economy by all these millions. _ for the economy by all these millions, tens of minis of pines being _ millions, tens of minis of pines being drunk might be offset by people — being drunk might be offset by people leaving early. —— points. i want _ people leaving early. —— points. i want england to win the world cup itself, _ want england to win the world cup itself, i_ want england to win the world cup itself, i want them to bring it back finally— itself, i want them to bring it back finally before christmas but is a massive — finally before christmas but is a massive sports fan, a massive england — massive sports fan, a massive england fan, stilljuggling to get into the — england fan, stilljuggling to get into the spirit of it because of the

i should declare an interest, i am welsh. bale's big day won't be the same without a wales win, so he is prioritising the team. thank you both are taking pity on me and mentioning wales along with england. it is funny, actually, both comparing that with the difficulty to get excited about it, i remember doing the papers for the lionesses and the front pages there, it was all unbridled glee and really feel good kind of stories coming out each evening sitting here, and it really hasn't been the same out of qatar for obvious reasons, but that said, the big story tomorrow will be the football so we will be watching it professionally or personally. we have to leave it there, matthew and kate, thank you very much for talking us through those stories and the sport as well, thank you. right,

thatisit the sport as well, thank you. right, that is it for this evening, dojoin us tomorrow, the papers will be back. the papers will be back again tomorrow evening with writer and broadcaster jemma forte and bloomberg's uk politics reporter, joe mayes. dojoin us then if you can but for now, goodnight. hello, i'm hugh ferris with your latest sports news. we start at the world cup, which has now seen all 32 teams play their first match. the last of them, brazil, have provided the goal of the tournament so far, while cristiano ronaldo made another piece of history in portugal's win. joe wilson reports. footballer of no fixed abode available for say, £500,000 a week? no longer of manchester united, cristiano ronaldo was

still portugal's captain. second half against ghana, forward he went, down he went. "penalty," said the referee. replays altered nothing. controversial? him? well, here was the composure of the master goal—scorer. yeah, but this match was just beginning. andre ayew, 15 years a ghanaian international, equalised. that prompted portugal to excel. commentator: oh, what a turnabout! quickly scored twice themselves, portugal were clear. they even took ronaldo off. and then? then ghana scored again. that's 3—2, and look at portugal's goalkeeper in the final seconds. that's how close he came to giving it all away. cleared, finally. well, what are you trying to do to me? wherever the world cup has travelled, brazil have followed. the ever presence, the favourites? well, richarlison scored one goal he will remember against serbia and then another tournament will the treasure. brazil started slow but it's how you finish. switzerland won with a goal

from breel embolo, who acknowledged he was playing against cameroon, the country of his birth. success can always be greeted respectfully. joe wilson, bbc news. well, the fourth game of the day saw uruguay and south korea play out a goalless draw. neither side really threatened too much. uruguay did hit the post in the latter stages — with federico valverde's long range effort. son heung min went close for south korea late on too but nothing to separate the sides who share group h with portugal and ghana. wales play the next game, it is the first of tomorrow's four against iran, a win would put them at the top of the group for the time being and after missing their draw on monday, jo allen is fit again. captain gareth bale has been reflecting on not being allowed to wear the one love anti—discrimination armband. and he

was to focus on the football. we weren't to happy about not being able to wear it, obviously with the sanctions in place, i know that people say that the people he should have worn it but i would have been sent off after 25 minutes. of course we support it but we are here to play football at the same time. for us, now i think the tournament has started, we really need to concentrate on the football but outside of the game, if there is anything that we can do to raise awareness or support, then we will definitely do that. the england squad also trained earlier and harry kane was among them, with manager gareth southgate confirming his captain is fit to face the usa tomorrow night. kane went off injured in monday's 6—2 victory against iran but a scan on his ankle showed no significant issues. southgate admits he would have to be a brave man to leave kane out. james maddison is the only player still struggling for fitness ahead of a match against a team that england have never beaten before at a world cup. tomorrow we have to try and make history, number one. we are good at that, we are good at talking highly

of ourselves as a nation, on the basis of very little evidence. what we have to do is perform on the field and we know that we will play a highly motivated team but we have huge respect for our opponent, we know a lot of the players from our league and we know the quality and athleticism they have. so, we have to be at our best. now, away from the world cup, the women's champions league continues, and arsenal have dropped their first points of the group stage. but they did come from behind to get a point atjuventus. lineth beerensteyn gave the italian side the lead in second half before vivianne miedema equalised nine minutes later — her first goal in seven matches. arsenal are two points clear at the top of their group. england head coach eddiejones has made four changes to his side for their final autumn international against world champions south africa. northampton wing tommy freeman will start replacing jack nowell he's

only recently made his club comeback from a foot injury. mako vunipola, jamie george and alex coles also come into the 15 at twickenham on saturday. jones said he is exploring different options with his side. i think teams at the moment are experimenting a fair bit. we certainly are, in terms of the way we're playing, we are trying to develop a couple of different ways of playing. we saw new zealand use their attacking kicks relentlessly to try and spread the defence line and we saw south africa against italy and france play much more off ten, a lot of two pass play, where they predominantly were on pass plays. i think again it is teams looking for different ways of playing. and wales have made six changes to their team head of their final autumn international match against australia. 20—year—old 0spreys centre

joe hawkins will make his debut. much more build—up to all of the matches that will happen tomorrow in the world cup on the bbc sport website. head to bbcport. co. uk/sport. and if you have the app, it is all there too. but that is all the sports for now. hello. it's already been an exceptionally wet month, some places breaking record. but again, nearly an inch of rain fell in some parts on thursday along with some really gusty winds. aberdaron on the llyn peninsula, nearly 80 mile an hour, those gusts of wind. even in bridlington, 67 miles an hour. the gusts on this particular weather front, which we call a squally weather front, those winds very squally with the rain pushing through. lots of showers, though, have been following on behind to northern and western areas through the night. still gale force winds here, butjust a little chilly where the winds have eased a little and the shower activity has as we head towards dawn.

for the day ahead, it looks drier, brighter, plenty more sunshine than we saw on thursday, but still lots of showers, particularly in the north and west and particularly of scotland, with gales across the northern and western isles, across the highlands as well. still with hail and thunder here and some snow over the hills and mountains, but fewer showers, less heavy elsewhere. 12 to 14, slightly less windy, so feeling more pleasant out and about. but then through saturday night, it turns quite chilly. we could see a touch of frost, a little bit of patchy mist and fog as well. and further north and west, yes, more rain to come as we head into the weekend. now, it looks as if it'll be initially for western and northern areas, with the ridge of high pressure holding on in eastern areas for the start of saturday. so the rain may not arrive here until after dark for east anglia and the south—east. but for most, it'll be cloudier with some hill fog, strong winds again returning, potentially gales in southern and western areas. heavy rain here as well. these are the gusts of wind, as you can see, through the day on saturday.

so another blustery all day, but mild. temperatures about 12 to 14 celsius. rven in the north, 11 and 12, so well above where they should be for this time of year. and a mild night will follow because that rain will push steadily eastwards but become slow—moving, potentially, we think, across southern and eastern areas. and that's the question mark, really, for the weekend, how quickly that rain clears away. it could stagnate in the south and east for a time and then showers follow on behind. once again, it will be another relatively mild day. not quite as for saturday, but still 11 to 13 celsius. and we keep a showery picture as we move into the beginning of the new week. but midweek onwards, potentially something a little drier but colder. stay tuned.
