for wales at they world cup — they've just lost 2—0 to iran. wales had their goalkeeper wayne hennessy sent off for a rash challenge outside the area, and iran then scored both their goals deep into added time. our correspondent hwyel griffith reports from qatar. the fan zone is an absolutely crazy when that went in because everyone thought they were looking at a 0—0 draw and we have those two late goals. thought they were looking at a 0—0 draw and we have those two late goals. the thought they were looking at a 0—0 draw and we have those two late goals. the welsh thought they were looking at a 0—0 draw and we have those two late goals. the welsh goalkeeper thought they were looking at a 0—0 draw and we have those two late goals. the welsh goalkeeper was thought they were looking at a 0—0 draw and we have those two late goals. the welsh goalkeeper was sent off for a rash challenge outside the area, first red card of the world cup and real disappointment for welsh fans who have travelled there, absolute heartbreak for them. our correspondent hwyel griffith reports from qatar. if it was simply down to the singing, wales would be in the semifinals already. four—part harmonies hang in the air when there's the chance of a first world cup win in 64 years. i get nervous every time

and he makes me more nervous. i've come all the way from auckland, new zealand for this and, you know, as soon as we qualified i had to book my flights here. it's unbelievable. ijust can't believe that i'm here and ijust hope walesi win against iran. time to make a statement — wales with rainbow—striped warm up shirts... iran's players, this time, singing their national anthem. the red wall pitted against a wall of noise. wales started well, kieffer moore testing... roberts with the cross — moore, good save! then time for wales to feel the heat. hesitating in defence... but helped eventually by the video assistant — no goal. but everything felt a bit chaotic — time for someone to take control. it was almost iran,

hitting one post... ..and then another. where on earth did wales find this luck? but no—one could find a final, decisive touch, except wayne hennessey. ben davies could have become the hero... but it was wales' goalkeeper who became the villain. red card and wales were down to ten. then the red wall started to crumble, first with a wonder strike from cheshni and then, in the dying seconds, the death knell for wales. now, only beating england will give them any hope of staying in this world cup. let's hear from the wales captain now — gareth bale had this reaction after the match. it's gutting.

yeah, we're gutted. there's no other way to say it. we fought until the last second but, um, yeah. it's one of those things that's difficult to take, but we have to. we have to recover, we have to try and go again. you've just had a little huddle on the pitch? what was said? just you've just had a little huddle on the pitch? what was said?- the pitch? what was said? just a little something. _ the pitch? what was said? just a little something. just _ the pitch? what was said? just a little something. just to - the pitch? what was said? just a little something. just to keep . little something. just to keep going. we are all gutted. we have to pick ourselves up straightaway. it is going to be difficult but we have to try and look at every positive and still try and enjoy the occasion as well. and still try and en'oy the occasion as well. ., , u, , and still try and en'oy the occasion aswell. . , , ., , as well. realistically, does it feel like that as _ as well. realistically, does it feel like that as it _ as well. realistically, does it feel like that as it now _ as well. realistically, does it feel like that as it now in _ as well. realistically, does it feel like that as it now in this - as well. realistically, does it feel like that as it now in this world . like that as it now in this world cup? it like that as it now in this world cu - ? , like that as it now in this world cu . ? , ., like that as it now in this world cu - ? , ., ., , like that as it now in this world cu-? , ., ., , , . like that as it now in this world cu . ? , ., ., , ' . ., cup? it is going to be difficult to share. depends _ cup? it is going to be difficult to share. depends on _ cup? it is going to be difficult to share. depends on the - cup? it is going to be difficult to share. depends on the other - cup? it is going to be difficult to i share. depends on the other game cup? it is going to be difficult to - share. depends on the other game and we'll see. is share. depends on the other game and we'll see. , ., ., u, ., we'll see. is for that red card, no arguments _ we'll see. is for that red card, no arguments from _ we'll see. is for that red card, no arguments from wales? - we'll see. is for that red card, no arguments from wales? i - we'll see. is for that red card, no | arguments from wales? i haven't we'll see. is for that red card, no - arguments from wales? i haven't seen it so i don't really _ arguments from wales? i haven't seen it so i don't really know. _ arguments from wales? i haven't seen it so i don't really know. yes, - it so i don't really know. yes, obviously, the redcar changes the game completely. yeah, obviously we let the first women and the second doesn't matter, so... —— red card. i'm not into safely recover we have to go again.

quite a task for wales to pick themselves up again after that defeat. england face usa later on today, also in group b. a win for gareth southgate's side would see them through to the knockout stages. i've been speaking to former england internationaljermainejenas who gave me his thoughts on how far they might go in the tournament. i think england, given how well they perform in that first game it is hard for the expectations not to be high. going into the tournament it was a bit doom and gloom in their performances failed to deliver really but it was slow, expansive, open goals and everything the defenders can do on a weekly basis because they show themselves doing a on at club level so it was great seeing them putting it together. i think they may be going to be tough to break down.

they're very fit team with a bit of quality here and there, but having watched them against wales, they've got a lots of work to do themselves, so i really fancy england to get a positive result again. how will it be for the players in the next few days because there's a lot of noise in this competition and a lot of controversy being played out off the pitch? as a player, how do they block that out? we've always got noise. as a player when you're in that environment in the world cup you're trying as much as you can to focus on the job at hand which is to try and go and win the world cup and perform to the best of your abilities. when you play for england the noise is a part and parcel of wearing the shirt, whether it is about performances or the pressure of what comes of the team. when it comes the controversies of what is going on in qatar i suppose the issues that are at hand in this country and dealing with that, i think this particular team have always shown a lot of responsibility and stepping forward and i think gareth southgate deserves a lot of credit for that. i think the noises come prior to the world cup and i think

going into the first game the players are just very focused on what's at hand and given the start they have had they have allowed a good chance to go and when it's like i said i still think it is very important that the conversation is had at the right time and i think these players will continue do that. there seems to be a huge amount of unity and support in this team. we can all see it. i think that's why everyone loves this team. the connection between players and media, players and fans, we feel it is ex—players so i think it is great as well. they are honest, an open group, very supportive of all the causes they believe it is a group, as well. it's difficult not to like them. we just want to go one step further this time and let them lift the trophy. our reporter alex howell has been with the england camp throughout the tournament. he's outside the stadium where they'll face usa a bit later on. any kind of atmosphere there yet? no any kind of atmosphere there yet? iir: kind of atmosphere there yet. still

just around six hours to go until the game kicks off. claims of this one, gareth southgate had a couple of selection dilemmas. he had the injury to harry kane, a scan on his right ankle but are still tonic since recovered and trained and come through that session without any reaction. gareth southgate has said it will take a brave person to not kick england's talent now. the second was with harry maguire, the central defender coming up in the first game feeling unwell but since one of, the recovered and set to make his 50th appearance for his country. they a headline coming in as if england when they qualify for the knockout stages for the tournament and gareth southgate will be hoping that is the case so he can potentially rest some of these key players before that part of the competition gets going.- players before that part of the competition gets going. alex, it has been really interesting. _ competition gets going. alex, it has been really interesting. we - competition gets going. alex, it has been really interesting. we have - competition gets going. alex, it has| been really interesting. we have had the conversation here before about the conversation here before about the kind of noises here in qatar and all the controversies of the pitch.

i know you have managed to speak to some of the players into all the press conferences, of course. how are they looking after the mental health of the team? how are they trying to keep that noise they? gareth southgate was speaking yesterday in the press conference about that, actually, hisjob yesterday in the press conference about that, actually, his job to try and protect the players from those of the field issues and his message is very much now is the time to focus on the football. of course, there's open dialogue between the media, the team, and the management team at the england camp but you do get the feeling with everything going on out and away from the pitch, now is the time to focus on the football.— the football. how important you think it is for _ the football. how important you think it is for the _ the football. how important you think it is for the players, - the football. how important you think it is for the players, alex, | think it is for the players, alex, to have so much of their family there, theirfriends to have so much of their family there, their friends there? to have so much of their family there, theirfriends there? we to have so much of their family there, their friends there? we saw them spending their time in the match ended the other night with their support groups.—

long he has played for. let's to show you what else is happening today. we've got teens from group a and b playing in their second round of matches on right now the hosts qatar are playing senegal. nothing to report so far from that match. the scot is currently 0—0. netherlands and ecuador follow that game and then of course we have england versus the usa at 7pm —— the score is currently 0—0. we can venue all the action from qatar it is quite at the moment the same share of qatar scores will be a huge role because there were quite a few people mingling here bringing children down as well to watch matches on big screens down here so will keep the puzzle the development is quite at the moment the same share of qatar scores will be a huge role because there were quite a few people mingling here bringing children down as well to watch matches on big screens down here so will keep the puzzle the development throughout the day. studio: thank you very much, lucy. see later. nurses in england, wales and northern ireland will strike for two days in the run up to christmas, in what's set to be the biggest walk—out in nhs history.

staff will take action on december 15th and 20th in a dispute over pay. the royal college of nursing says emergency care will still be provided, but some non—urgent appointments and operations will be postponed. here's our health correspondentjim reed. in its io6—year history, this is the first time the nurses' union has voted to strike on this scale. staff will still provide emergency and urgent care, but for the two days in december routine services from operations to some scans are likely to be disrupted across parts of the country. i have tried now for two weeks, multiple occasions, to get the government at westminster to listen to the voice of our members, but that has fallen on deaf ears, and, as a result, they have chosen, they have chosen strike over listening to nursing staff. the starting salary for a nurse in england is £27,000, with the average around 37,000, including the latest pay award. the royal college of nursing has called for a higher pay rise

this year of 5% above inflation. that would currently be around i9%. in england and wales, staff have already been given a rise worth around it% on average. in northern ireland, nurses have not yet received a pay award because there's no work in government. in scotland, strike action is suspended whilst a new pay offer is reviewed, worth around 8%. my door is open. i'm very keen to continue to engage with the rcn leadership to look at the other issues impacting, but it is important that we also respect the independent pay review body's findings and i have agreed to implement those, in full. nurses say their pay has not kept up with the cost of living for many years. they accept some treatments might be affected, but say they were left with little

choice, but to strike. i hope people would understand that if they have been waiting for that operation, they have probably been waiting because there are not enough staff and if we don't pay nurses fairly, we're not going to attract people or key people. at the christmas market in birmingham there was some impact about the impact on patients. i have a disabled child so if we definitely need to go it would be a concern. the queues will be even worse than they already are, but they definitely deserve more of a pay rise. nurses say they're determined to press on with their campaign into the new year. if the strikes go ahead, it is inevitable that some patients will lose out. we shall find out exactly how in the coming weeks. a man has appeared in court charged with the murders of a mother and two children in a house fire in nottingham. our correspondent phil mackie is outside nottingham magistrates' court just a reminder of what happened after the fire that happened in the clifton area of nottingham. it was an upstairs flat on two little children didn't survive the fire. their mother did and she died in

hospital two days later. the little girl is fat aged three, her younger sister, who was one, and mother and other sister all died and today we sawjamie barro appear that saw jamie barro appear that nottingham sawjamie barro appear that nottingham in that test strips caught in a very brief hearing —— appear at nottingham magistrates' court and he lived at her flat next door to them. over the last few days there's been an outpouring of grief, really, in that past nottingham. yesterday, i attended a vigil from the gandhian community. around 50 or 60 people came down, said prayers and issued a statement adult of the family issued their own statement in which they thanked notjust family issued their own statement in which they thanked not just the gambling community but the wider community here in nottingham over the last few days. — gambian community —— gambian community the headlines on bbc news... world cup heartbreak for wales

deep into injury time, as they lose 2—0 to iran. nurses set to strike for two days before christmas — the biggest walk—out in the history of the health service. the court of appeal has rejected a claim by campaigner heidi crowther that the abortion rules around down's syndrome in great britain are discriminatory, though her family vows to take the case to the supreme court. we will stay with that that. heidi, who has down's syndrome, has lost a legal challenge over legislation which allows the abortion of babies with the condition up until birth. 27—year—old heidi crowter wanted to remove a section of the abortion act for not being equal. butjudges disagreed and have ruled that the act does not interfere with the rights of the "living disabled." our correspondent robin brant is at the court of appeal and has the latest. well, this is a legal challenge that began back in 2019, and at the heart of it is heidi crowter. she's 27, she's married, she has down's syndrome and so does her husband and she challenged the government,

the department of health, on the basis that the 1967 abortion law which legislates for abortion in england and scotland and wales, she says it is discriminatory. she says it stigmatises people like her and their place in society. now, she has brought this appeal. initially, it was overturned by the high court but she found herself here today at the court of appeal asking three appealjudges to make a further ruling on that, and at the heart of it is the european convention on human rights and the subsequent human rights act, and section 8 of that, which is the right to a private life — both that of heidi and that of women who become pregnant and heidi and her lawyers said that of unborn children, as well. well, it hasn't gone her way. the appeal courtjudges have dismissed her claim. when she came out of the court behind mejust after 10.30, we saw and heard her hug her mother initially and say, "we lost," and she was tearful and clearly upset. the fight goes on, she says, but this was her reaction in a brief well, it hasn't gone her way. the appeal courtjudges have

dismissed her claim. when she came out of the court behind mejust after 10.30, we saw and heard her hug her mother initially and say, "we lost," and she was tearful and clearly upset. the fight goes on, she says, but this was her reaction in a brief statement some moments later. i am very upset not to win again but i will keep on fighting because we have already informed and changed hearts and minds and changed people's opinions about the law. i am very upset that babies with down's syndrome can be aborted up to birth. this tells me that i am not valued and of much less value than a person with down's syndrome. we also heard from

her solicitor afterwards, who said that the judgment today gave provision for future diminished protection for people who could go on to live in our society, like heidi. so it's complex, it's contentious, it's hugely emotive, but essentially in theirjudgment today the three appeal courtjudges have come down on the side of women and the interests of women who find themselves in the latter stages of pregnancy that their child may have down's syndrome and their ability to choose whether they want to continue with that pregnancy or not. they say at the end of theirjudgment, "this is not about the right to have an abortion — "this is about weighing up the interests of women "who become pregnant against the rights of an unborn child." so heidi says this is not the end of it. she intends to go to the supreme court, and, if needs be, further to the ultimate authority at the moment, the court in strasbourg.

robin brant reporting. an army veteran in northern ireland has been found guilty of a fatal shooting during the troubles. former soldier david holden shot aidan mcanespie in the back at an army checkpoint in 1988. our ireland correspondent, chris page, has been following developments in belfast... the first soldier to be convicted in connection with the killing from the northern ireland conflict since the peace deal at the end of that conflict in the 1990s. david holden found guilty of manslaughter in connection with the fatal shooting of aidan mcanespie in 1998. the background to this is that david holden was 18 at the time of the killing. he was in the grenadier guards and he was in charge of a machine gun at an army checkpoint on the border with the irish republic near the village of complying county to phone. aidan mcanespie was, it has to be said, a person of interest

to the military. he was walking across the border to go to a gay football match. mr holden fired three bullets from the machine gun, one of which ricochets across the road and struck aidan mcanespie in the back, killing him —— he was walking across the border to go to gaelic football match. he said he had been doing cleaning duties at the army base just before that, his hands were wet and he had been pointing the weapon in the wrong direction his hand slipped onto the trigger and he fired the bullets by accident. howeverthejudge trigger and he fired the bullets by accident. however thejudge here is tojustjust so have accident. however thejudge here is to justjust so have at accident. however thejudge here is to just just so have at the accident. however thejudge here is to justjust so have at the end of this nonjury trial says he believed holden was not was liberally false. he said holden was criminally culpable, that he was in and that means he is guilty of mostly

negligence manslaughter —— he believed holden's account was deliberately false, he is guilty of gross negligence manslaughter. aidan mcanespie's relatives were sitting behind in the courtroom when this verdict being read out by thejudge afterwards. afterward some of them hugged each other, were in tears, saying they had been campaigning for justice in this case the 3a years. and army veterans organisation which had been supporting david holden had said just outside the court that david holden plans to appeal against this conviction and this will be seen as something of a touchstone case in the debate which has become an intensely political debate over how you investigate on is salt killing from the conflict in northern ireland. just this week the government's new legislation has been debated in the catalogued —— unsolved killings. the government is planning to initiate a process which will focus on gathering information for the families bereaved relatives

and anyone who cooperates with that process, a former paramilitary are members of the british army who cooperate, give evidence to the british army who have that task will be granted immunity from prosecution. that aspect of the legislation is highly controversial. i do think we can expect to hear from the likes of aidan mcanespie family when they come out to give their election here is that their experience of taking this case to court proves that, actually, the other way is the better way of dealing with the past, to continue with prosecutions, although they are becoming more and more rare. i expect the family will say they can be justice in the end however david holden opinion on this case and full former veterans of the killings and the troubles will remain an ongoing very controversial debate in the months ahead in northern ireland. chris page reporting.

people who share explicit images or videos, which have been manipulated to look like someone. without their consent, could be jailed under proposed changes to the law in england and wales. the government has announced a series of amendments to the online safety bill — which is currently going through parliament — giving police and prosecutors more power to bring abusers to justice. monika plaha has been speaking to campaigners. there is no way of stopping more people seeing them. in this moment right now, people might be looking at them. people might be copying them, downloading them, sharing them. explicit images of georgie were shared online. in a text, her ex—partner admitted it was him, and said he didn't want to hurt her. we spoke to georgie earlier this yearfor bbc panorama. despite having a written admission of guilt in a text message, because he doesn't claim to have wanted to hurt me, i was told by the police that there was nothing they could do. georgie had no legal protection

then, but today the government has announced plans to criminalise sharing intimate images without consent. this is a very welcome recognition of, i think, the life—shattering harms of intimate—image abuse. if the perpetrator intentionally shares an intimate image without the consent of the person in that image, that is a criminal offence. in other words, we don't need to prove any more that they did it to cause distress to the victim, or they did it for sexual gratification — it'sjust that consent issue that is central. the online safety bill will also be amended to make sharing explicit deep fakes — which involves editing a face onto another body without consent — a crime in england and wales. it will also tackle downblousing, where photos are taken down a woman's top without permission. i think, for a long time, people thought many of these practices were already criminal offences. obviously, we're facing a different type of threat to people with digital means used, so the law's got to adapt and we've

and we've taken evidence on it, we've looked very carefully at it, we accept that there is a gap that can be filled, and now we're taking action. the law commission — an independent body that advises the government — recommended these changes, and say criminal offences had not kept pace with technology. monika plaha, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom. martine croxall will be here in a few minutes. many parts of the country a dry day today, quite a bit of sunshine, most rain affecting northern scotland, fisher was here this evening. overnight cloud increasing from the west and that will bring some rain notjust in north—western parts of scotland but later northern ireland, keeping temperatures appear. some clearer skies and light winds face in england, could turn quite chilly, temperature is not far away from the touch of frost. it may well be dry positioning and to mark a bit of sunshine at least in the morning.

more cloud elsewhere, then coming into many parts of western england, wales, more widely in scotland in western england and northern ireland. a couple of strong and even gale force southerly winds blowing in milder air pushing northwards into scotland, as well. that rain moves its way eastwards over night together with stronger winds lingering not far away from the south—east of england where we're going to hang on to cloud lease during sunday with rains not far away. elsewhere, since sunshine, sharp showers towards western coasts, and again temperatures in double figures.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines: world cup heartbreak for wales deep into injury time as they lose 2—0 to iran. wales were down to ten men after goalkeeper wayne hennessy was sent off for a reckless challenge outside the penalty box. we are challenge outside the penalty box. gutted, there is to we are gutted, there is no other way to say it. we thought until the last second, but it is one of —— it is one of those things, it is difficult to take we have to recover and go again. the court of appeal has rejected a claim by campaigner heidi crowther that the abortion rules around down syndrome in great britain are discriminatory, though her family vows to take the case to the supreme court. it's black friday, with retailers hoping for a boost and shoppers hoping for a bargain.

now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. good afternoon. wales are up against it if they're to progress in the world cup. it follows a devastating defeat to iran earlier today. the game was drfiting towards a goalless draw when wales lost their goalkeeper. wayne hennessey was sent off by the video assistant referee for this challenge as he came out to try to clear the ball. while it looked like they were hanging on for a vital point, in the eighth minute of stoppage time rouzbeh cheshmi's long range efffort beat stand—in goalkeeper danny ward. as the welsh chased an equaliser, iran broke away and added a second through ramin rezaeian to make it 2—0. it means wales will need a win against england in theirfinal group game to stand any chance

350,000 health workers have been asked to walk out in a dispute over pgy- asked to walk out in a dispute over pay. in one hospital in birmingham they are helping workers struggling with the cost of living. in the staff canteen at birmingham women and children's hospital, there's free porridge, fruit and croissants every morning. the hospital decided to do this because so many staff are struggling to pay for food. fiona's packing up some of the free breakfasts for her team. she's a secretary in the genetics department. it's just something to start the day — to just give that little bit of energy for starting work. and it's nice that the trust has subsidised it. because with the cost of living, it costs a lot just to have a sandwich and to get breakfast in the morning and just... it's like a benefit to say thank you for all the work you've done as well. staff here told me that many of their colleagues are feeling tired. there are staffing shortages, the effects of working

through the pandemic. and then there's the overtime they're taking on to cope with rising prices. check are you worried about people? yes. why do you say that? just because it's only going to get worse. we know that bills are going to go up in the new year. salaries aren't going up. bank payments, additional payments aren't going up. but actually, you know, so i am worried. and if they're saying that the petrol is also going to go up, i know it's all hearsay, but actually that makes people really worried. how are they going to afford to come to work? yeah. and i definitely think that with staff burnout, you know, with given everything that you've got on a day—to—day basis, it is hard work and people need their time off. each a member of staff donating food for her colleagues. this is the first time the hospital has set up a food donation scheme. but they're not alone.

according to a recent survey by nhs providers, a quarter of nhs trusts are offering food banks for their employees. so this is our wellbeing hub. clare atkinson is what's called a staff ambassador. we're in the wellbeing hub they've set up to give staff some respite during the day. she hears first hand the pressures people are under. nobody should be hungry coming to work, especially if they're doing 12—hour shifts, and i'm the freedom to speak up guardian, so staff are raising concerns, saying that very thing that they were struggling to eat when they were on shift. and it's affecting all our professions as well. so it's not... it's notjust some of our vital staff, which are our cleaners and our porters. it's radiographers, nurses, midwives. they've all been to see us, myself and the chaplaincy team. we've taken a lot of concerns relating to this and had to provide emergency food parcels.

shssh staff at the hospital, who are members of the royal college of nursing, have voted for strike action. members of unison, who work here, have also been voting over whether to walk out. martina has worked at the hospital for 17 years. she's voted to strike. the government needs to realise, you know, that they have to pay some more money. everybody — staff, everyone. to survive. we're doing a greatjob here. we're looking after poorly kids and their family. so it's not an easy ride. and that's why i'm voting for strike. it's not clear yet how the hospital will be affected by any walkout, but the management is putting contingency plans in place. everyone who works at birmingham women's and children's always put the safety of the patient at the very heart of every decision, every thought. when they come to work in the morning, the patients being safe is what they really care about. we'll work really closely

with our trade unions, with all of the partners within our system to make sure that that remains everyone's number one priority. spend some time here at birmingham women and children's hospital, and it's hard not to conclude that staff here are really trying to support each other. the hospital might not be able to do anything about people's pay, but they hope to show that they care. zoe conway, bbc news, birmingham. as russia's war in ukraine heads into a harsh winter, president zelensky has repeatedly called for the world's help in his nightly address. now, the first lady, olena zelenska, is taking on a more public role. our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet has been speaking to mrs zelenska and began by asking how ukrainians will cope with the added pressure of power blackouts.

president and first lady. war ripped their lives apart but brought their work closer together. as this war grinds on, lives lost, cold winter closing in, with blackouts provoked by aggression strikes, olena zelenska is speaking out for ukraine. translation: we've had so many challenges during these months, l such trying challenges, so many victims, so much destruction that, if i'm honest with you, blackout is not the worst thing that can happen to us. check recently, an opinion poll was published. ukrainians were asked, how much longer can they endure in these conditions? the majority of ukrainians, over 90%, said that they are prepared to endure this for two to three more years if they can see the prospect of our membership in the eu. two to three more years? translation: at times, it is extremely hard, - but then we find new emotions

which help us to keep going. check so you work here and he works there? they both work in this heavily guarded compound in kyiv. but he now has to live where he works — separate from her and their two children. when he first ran for president in 2019, she told him it was a life she didn't want. he won by a landslide with her support. check the high school sweethearts filmed this on valentine's day, just ten days before russia invaded and everything changed. he can't travel, so she does. brussels, the eu parliament — a standing ovation for a woman who once said public speaking scared her. washington, the us congress — the first foreign first lady to address this house,

even more to ask for weapons. you crossed the line into politics. translation: that was not politics. that was something i had to say. i was asking for weapons, not for an attack. i was asking for weapons to rescue us, so that our children would not be killed in their homes. now she calls other first ladies her colleagues. the us', drjill biden, came to see her, both focused on education, children, families torn apart. ukraine's mourners in chief, public faces of its pain and prayer. translation: for all ukrainians, peace equates to victory, -

because we all understand that without victory, there will not be peace in our country. for now, they know peace isn't in sight, just a long cold winter of little light. lyse doucet, bbc news, kyiv. the full interview with ukraine's first lady, olena zelenska, and bbc chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, is available on iplayer in the uk. bbc 100 women, our annual season of influential and inspiring women, launches on tuesday, 6th december. police are failing to investigate complaints and support victims of stalking, a decade after it was made a specific offence, according to charities. a bbc freedom of information request has found at least four forces

in england have failed to employ a single point of contact for stalking, despite a government requirement to do so. two families united in loss, together in memory of their daughters. gracie spinks and alice ruggles were both tragically murdered. in the months and weeks before their deaths, they'd reported suspected stalkers to the police. it's so unfair that they should die when they didn't do anything wrong. i mean, she's 23 years old. she could have had another 70 years of life. somebody has taken that away unfairly. it's absolutely disgraceful. i keep saying to myself, you can't think in those terms, but i do every single day. we all do. it's never out your head, is it? no. this is one branch of harassment... today marks ten years since stalking was made a crime in england and wales. we need to take this whole issue i of stalking far more seriously, i and that's why we're _ going to create a separate criminal offence of stalking. there were high hopes it could be a landmark moment, but stalking charities say victims are still being let down. they've launched a super—complaint against the police. the measure can only be brought

forward by specific organisations to raise awareness of wider problems in policing. we want this super—complaint to prompt a thorough investigation into widespread issues in relation to supporting stalking victims, such as the misidentification of stalking, the implementation of adequate protections, and monitoring breaches of protective orders to ensure that victims aren't being put at risk. there were more than 700,000 reports of stalking and harassment in the year tojune, while only 5% of reports of stalking led to a charge. a bbc breakfast freedom of information request found that, out of the 28 forces in england that responded, four still had not appointed a point of contact to deal with stalking complaints, despite a government recommendation to do so. the national police chiefs' council says it recognises more needs to be done to improve the outcomes for victims of stalking. and the home office says it takes

stalking extremely seriously and has doubled sentences as a result. alice and gracie's parents have dedicated themselves to fighting for change since losing their daughters. they're determined to see it come sooner rather than later. there's only one person to blame — the person who killed alice, the person who killed gracie. they are the people to blame. and, yes, police do things wrong, and all we ask is that we learn lessons. campaigners believe this super—complaint could be the change they've waited for. it's now up to the police watchdog to decide if it will be investigated. the headlines on bbc news: world cup heartbreak for wales deep into injury time as they lose 2—0 to iran. meanwhile, england are preparing for their match against the usa later where they hoping to secure their place in the final 16.

nurses set to strike for two days before christmas — the biggest walk—out in the history of the health service. now on bbc news it's time to look at some of the stories making the headlines this lunchtime in our newsrooms �*across the uk'. thousands of drivers in london will have to pay to use the roads after the mayor, sadiq khan, announced that the ultra low emission zone will be expanded. the existing zone between the north and south circulars will be extended from next summer to help improve air quality. here's bbc london's transport correspondent tom edwards. from next august, the ultra low emission zone will get much bigger. it will cover the whole of london. what that broadly means is if you have a petrol car and it was built

before 2006, or a diesel and it was built before 2016, you are going to have to pay £12 50 a day to drive in the zone. it's going to affect 200,000 vehicles or so that currently are non compliant. now, there has been more mitigation introduced this time. the scrappage scheme for lower income londoners, that is doubled to £110 million. it will also include things like travel cards, and disabled drivers will also have a grace period until 2027. and they say they're going to improve the bus network in outer london. now, in the consultation, 60% of people say they oppose this expansion and there will be opposition. the conservatives on the assembly and the federation of small businesses, they say that they should have been delayed. and they say they're going to improve the bus however, at the moment it looks like it is going ahead next august.

it's a good, natural heat—retaining stuff so i thought, if it does that, i'll try it out on my ceiling. the maisonette is rented from platform housing group, and you may recognise nigel from february when he was on midlands today telling us about his heating system. it extracts heat from outside air but is most suited to well insulated homes and nigel�*s is not. all i want is affordable heating. at the time, platform said they were going to start work replacing mr cleall�*s roof and windows the following month and that would improve insulation. but, infact, nothing happened. they have now written to mr cleall with a new date of early next year with a new air source heat pump will also be installed. they have also offered welfare advice and support. for now, nigel is keeping the system switched off saying it costs over £30 per day to run, and he's heating just one room with this gas fire. i earn enough for us to get by,

but i don't earn enough where i can afford to pay £200 a week on electric so i can have the heating system. no. meanwhile, the fire service is strongly advising against the use of cardboard to insulate, as it poses a fire hazard, advice we've passed on to mr cleall. kevin reide, bbc midlands today, martley in worcsetershire. it's a year this weekend since storm arwen wreaked havoc across large parts of the uk. winds close to 100 miles per hour left thousands of homes without electricity, damaging buildings and cutting off communities. arwen hit the north pennines hard with some people in town of alston forced to cook outside on open fires when their power failed — and was not reconnected for days. mark mcalindon reports: mark mcalindon reports. a year ago, lorraine costello was cooking on an open fire in the snow outside her home. it was horrendous. the snow was up to your knees. there was no electricity, there was no heating.

for now, she's enjoying some simple home comforts, but worried about the winter ahead. nothing's going to change. nothing... they've not done anything in preparation. there's nothing more that i can do if the electricity or the heating goes off. so back to square one again. back to the clay cooker and the thai cooker. be resourceful. this area is remote and vulnerable, prone to bad weather. but people pull together. we all look out for each other. you won't find a better community than what we have in samoa. everybody looks out for everybody. everybody knows everybody, and it's one of the best places in the world to live. but some frustration remains. you could try and find out and you were put back, your pole will be back on in 4 hours. it never was. it was never updated. you know, a little bit more communication from somebody that could have just come and said, look, we're trying our best. we'll get it back on as soon as we can. we never got nothing. in total, more than 70,000 homes in cumbria were left without electricity during storm arwen.

the power company, electricity north west, faced criticism for the way it communicated with its customers at that time. since then, the firm says, though, it's taken action to improve its restoration times and added a feature to its website so that problems can be reported to the network via mobile phones. we're making a bid with them for generators, for the village halls and here in austin itself, as well as communications. and we're hoping to work with penrith mountain rescue on the communications side of things to be able to contact the emergency services and get the help required. mark mcalinden, bbc look north alston. it's black friday today and retailers are hoping for some festive cheer on what is one of the most important shopping days of the year. here's emma simpson. the signs are everywhere, and this year the black friday deals

have been earlier too, to tempt us to part with our cash. some are spending more than others. i'm going to spend as much as i can possibly spend to make whomever happy. everything will be cut back this year — the food, absolutely everything will be cut back this year. cut back the rest of the year but enjoy christmas. - this is the last hurrah, then, is it? could be! christmas in a cost—of—living crisis. households are under pressure at the most crucial time of the year for retailers. i think it's going to be all about value. i think those who really think about how do we make presents that people want to give but do that at a price that's not going to break the bank are going to win. i think that those that don't, won't. it's full steam ahead for this business in colchester. it specialises in refurbished goods. sales of second—hand posh coffee machines are booming. shoppers are becoming more thrifty. we see ourselves growing by about 10% this year on black friday, and i think it's a reaction to the influence of people, one, being

concerned about value, but also about the environmental aspects. we want to celebrate christmas but, for many, it will be on a far tighter budget than ever before. retailers are hoping black friday will be a window of opportunity to get the tills ringing. emma simpson, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello, there. we've seen much more sunshine around today and it's still quite mild for the time of year as well. much further afield in doha, in qatar, it's been hotting up. temperatures today getting close to 30 degrees. by the time we get to kick off in the england game, 26. there is more cloud across northern parts of the middle east. one or two showers here as well. back towards the uk and looming

large on the satellite picture, this cloud that's going to be moving in from the atlantic over the next couple of days. ahead of that, we still got some showers left into the early evening across northern scotland, although it won't be quite as windy by this stage and it will quickly turn chilly in eastern england with some clearer skies. there is more cloud, though, coming in from the atlantic. we saw it earlier on. we're going to find some rain developing in the north west of scotland later on in the night across northern ireland as well, keeping temperatures up here. but it could be quite chilly in eastern england. temperatures in rural areas maybe not far away from a touch of frost heading into the weekend, though. and we've got lower pressure out to the west and this tangle of weather fronts moving slowly our way, more isomers on the chart. the winds will be strengthening as well. for many eastern parts of england, it's likely to be dry and there could be a little bit of sunshine, at least in the morning. cloudy skies are moving in. we've got rain developing across western parts of england and wales, developing more widely in scotland. we're going to find some rain from time to time in northern ireland and all the while that southerly wind will be strengthening, maybe touching gale force around some southern and western coasts as well. but because it's a southerly wind,

it's bringing mild air and that milder air is pushing northwards into scotland where temperatures could reach 13, perhaps even 11t degrees. it doesn't look too bad in the murray firth, missing most of the rain here, but it will be getting windy through the day. it stays windy well into the night as well. that weather front will push rain eastwards across all areas. it's going to hang around for a while, perhaps in the south east of england. it looks like it should tend to clear away, but it's not far away from the far south—east. we may hang on to a lot of cloud away from here, though, more in the way of sunshine across these western fringes. we are likely to find some showers. those could be heavy and thundery. the winds tending to ease down through the day. and we've still got those temperatures in double figures, 11 to 13 degrees. so that's fairly mild for this time of the year. heading into next week, things do become quieter. yes, there could be a few showers around, but generally it's going to be drier, maybe a bit chillier. there may be some mist and fog as well.
