2:02 pm
welcome to dowe hart. the hosts qatar are up against senegal. senegal currently 1—0 up at half—time. the big story of the day so far as the dramatic match we saw between wales and iran, huge disappointment for wales. they've lost 2—0 to iran, after goals from ramin rezaeian and then rouzbeh cheshmi deep into stoppage time. the goals followed a red card for wales goalkeeper wayne hennessy, he was sent off for a rash challenge outside the area. our correspondent hwyel griffith reports from qatar.
2:03 pm
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 walesj win against iran. time to make a statement — wales with their 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! hosseini staying strong. then time for wales to feel the heat. hesitating in defence... azmoun with a little lay—off...
2:04 pm
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 cheshmi and then, in the dying seconds, the death knell for wales. now, only beating england would give them any hope of staying in this world cup.
2:05 pm
real heartbreak on the faces of all those welsh players, they really looked stunned at the end the match. 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 and we have to try and go again. you've just had a little huddle on the pitch. what was said? no, just a little something. just to keep going. we're going to recover. we're all gutted. we have to pick ourselves up straightaway. it's going to be difficult, but we have one game left. we have to try and look at every positive and still try and enjoy the occasion, as well. realistically, does it feel like that's it for wales now in this world cup? it is going to be difficult, for sure. depends on the other game, and we'll see. and as for that red card, no arguments from wales? i haven't seen it
2:06 pm
so i don't really know, but, yeah, obviously, the red card changes the game completely. um, yeah, obviously we let the first one in, and, you know, the second doesn't matter, so... what can i say? we recover and we have to go again. so heartbreak for wales but totaljubilation for the iranian fans here in qatar. can you imagine being at the stadium and then going into stoppage time and then going into stoppage time and seeing your team score two goals? just incredible. these were the celebrations outside the stadium — iran now have a fair chance of reaching the knockout stages if they get a result against the usa on tuesday night. 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
2:07 pm
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. coming into the tournament it was a bit doom and gloom, their performances failed to deliver, really, but it was free—flowing, it was expansive, it was open, there was goals, it was everything we know that these players can do on a weekly basis, because they show us themselves doing it at club level, so it was great to see them put it all together. i don't see anything but an england win against usa. i think they're going to be maybe 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 lot of work to do themselves, so i really fancy england to go and get a positive result again. how will it be for the players over the past few days? there's a lot of noise in this competition, a lot of controversies being played out off the pitch. yeah. as a player, how do they block that out? we've always got noise! as a player, when you're in that environment, you're at a world cup, you're trying as much as you can
2:08 pm
to focus on the job at hand, which is to try and go and win a world cup and try and perform to the best of your abilities. when you play for england the noise is just part and parcel of wearing the shirt, whether it is about your performances or the pressure of what comes with the team. when it comes the controversies of what is going on in qatar, and 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 in stepping forward and i think gareth southgate deserves a lot of credit for that. so, i think the noises come prior to the world cup and probablyjust going into that first game i feel like now 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 win it, but like i said, i still think it is very important that the conversation's had just 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 everybody loves
2:09 pm
this team, in particular. the connections between the players and the media, the players and fans, we feel it as ex—players, which i think is great as well. they are honest, they're an open group, they are very supportive of all the causes they believe in as a group, as well. it's difficult not to like them. we just want them to go one step further this time and go and lift the trophy. some high hopes there. 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. good to see. i've heard lots of about metatarsal bones, the foot, the ankle, what could possibly go wrong with it, harry kane and the scan he had, is he fit to take the field tonight?— scan he had, is he fit to take the field toniaht? ., �* , ., ., , field tonight? that's the good news for the england _ field tonight? that's the good news for the england team _ field tonight? that's the good news for the england team and _ field tonight? that's the good news for the england team and gareth i for the england team and gareth southgate. he is fit to play he had
2:10 pm
an injury he picked up in the first game against their own, he has trained since come through that well, they said it would take a brave person to leave the england captain out of the team now he is declared fit. he is so important to the team, he is the biggest goal threat the team has, all—time goal—scoring record, so it's great news for gareth southgate that harry kane is available. what news for gareth southgate that harry kane is available.— kane is available. what is the other news in terms _ kane is available. what is the other news in terms of _ kane is available. what is the other news in terms of the _ kane is available. what is the other news in terms of the teams - kane is available. what is the other news in terms of the teams today? | news in terms of the teams today? there has been a couple of selection issues gareth southgate has had to work to do with harry kane, he plays club football, he came off at the first match with an illness, but has since recovered and he was at the press conference yesterday and was
2:11 pm
speaking how he has been through the various tests, he is ready and raring to go. making his 50th appearance for his country, the other dilemma is also in defence, manchester city's kyle walker has recovered, he came out here and travelled as part of the 26 man party, he hasn't played for a while for his club, gareth southgate says he joined for his club, gareth southgate says hejoined in training and has been available for the match, so it's another option manager has to in defence. ~ . . another option manager has to in defence. ~ ., , , ., another option manager has to in defence. ~ ., , , , ., defence. what is your sense of the ener: defence. what is your sense of the energy and — defence. what is your sense of the energy and the _ defence. what is your sense of the energy and the attitude _ defence. what is your sense of the energy and the attitude in - defence. what is your sense of the energy and the attitude in the - defence. what is your sense of the l energy and the attitude in the camp at the moment, particularly after the decisive win against iran? the mood is very _ the decisive win against iran? tue mood is very good, the decisive win against iran? tte mood is very good, as the decisive win against iran?

2:13 pm
teams from group a and b are playing their second round of matches. the hosts qatar are currently playing senegal, the score is 0—0. netherlands ecuador follows that game and then it's england usa at 7pm. 2-0, 2—0, senegal— 2—0, senegal- qatar. that's the latest. 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 correspondent jim reed. in its 106—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 two days in december routine services,
2:14 pm
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 19%. in england and wales, staff have already been given a rise worth around 4% on average. in northern ireland, nurses have not yet received a pay award because there's no working government. in scotland, strike action is suspended whilst a new pay offer is reviewed, worth around 8%.
2:15 pm
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 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 and think they would understand that, you know, if they have been waiting for that operation, they've probably been waiting for it because there wasn't enough staff, and if we don't pay nurses fairly, we're not going to attract people and we're not going to keep people. at the christmas market in birmingham, there was some concern about the impact on patients. i've got a child that's disabled, so, you know, if we did need to go then it obviously is a concern. the queues will be even worse than they already are, - but they do definitely- deserve more of a pay rise. nurses say they're determined to push on with their campaign
2:16 pm
into the new year. if the strikes go ahead, it's inevitable some patients will lose out. exactly how, we should find out in the coming weeks. jim reed, bbc news. prime minister, rishi sunak praised nhs nurses on a visit to a gp practice in darlington but added that the demands for a pay rise for nurses was "unaffordable". i have enormous respect and gratitude to our nurses, as everyone does for the incredible job they do, and i know things are difficult right now for everyone because of what's happening with inflation, that's why our plans that we outlined last week will get a grip of inflation bring it down, that is really important, and in the meantime what the unions are asking for, i think, meantime what the unions are asking for, ithink, is meantime what the unions are asking for, i think, is a 19% pay rise, and i think most people watching will recognise that obviously unaffordable, that's why i'm pleased that the health secretary is sitting down, talking to the union and hopefully we can find a way through
2:17 pm
it. labour leader, sir keir starmer responded by saying that the conservatives are refusing to address the issues that led to the nurses strike. well, the nurses have been driven to this by the government, and that's a badge of shame for the government. they never take strike action before. for patients this is going to be devastating news. nurses don't want to go on strike, now it seems health secretary is not even prepared to get around the table to continue negotiations to avoid the strike, and frankly, if the government is that tired of governing they should get out the way and allow different governments are come in a deal with the underlying question is like the lack of staffing. we want to train up 15,000 new staff to come in. the cavalry is coming under a new labour government. let's get more now from our health reporterjim reed.
2:18 pm
no pay rise, certainly not 19%, says the prime minister, but they want to keep on talking. what about? itirui’eiiii. keep on talking. what about? well, es, i keep on talking. what about? well, yes. i think — keep on talking. what about? well, yes. i think we _ keep on talking. what about? well, yes, i think we are _ keep on talking. what about? well, yes, i think we are at _ keep on talking. what about? well, yes, i think we are at a _ keep on talking. what about? well, yes, i think we are at a bit - keep on talking. what about? well, yes, i think we are at a bit of- keep on talking. what about? well, yes, i think we are at a bit of an - yes, i think we are at a bit of an impasse in england and wales at the moment, nurses on one side looking for rpi inflation plus 5%, which is a 19% pay rise, on the other hand, the government, the westminster government, has been saying something around 4%. that has already been awarded, put into nurses�* pay packets, they say that all they can afford. interestingly, in scotland, the scottish government have increased their pay offer, which is why at the moment the nurses�* strike is suspended at the moment there, so 8%, there is a big wide gap there, england and wales are at 4% when they want 19%, which seems like a difficult thing to do
2:19 pm
before the strikes begin, but if you look at what goes on in scotland, there could be a bit of movement. what will the impact beyond patients? what will the impact beyond atients? . . what will the impact beyond atients? , , ., , patients? this is where it really, really complicated, _ patients? this is where it really, really complicated, because - patients? this is where it really, really complicated, because it i really complicated, because it depends on the uk where you live. that�*s because the balloting for the strike action starts a trust board level, so the union needed to get more than 15% turnout for any strike to be valid, in northern ireland every single health board hit the threshold and therefore could go on strike. in wales, every health board -1 strike. in wales, every health board —1 hit the threshold. in england it�*s a bit messy, so about half the trusts in england hit the threshold and half didn�*t, so the moment only around half of the areas are going to go on strike. it could very much depend on where you live. you might
2:20 pm
have a situation where you have one part of england going on strike and literally the hospital in the neighbouring part not, which could make life quite confusing for patients. make life quite confusing for atients. . make life quite confusing for atients. , , , . ., patients. given there is such a recruitment _ patients. given there is such a recruitment problem - patients. given there is such a recruitment problem in - patients. given there is such a recruitment problem in the . patients. given there is such a i recruitment problem in the nhs, patients. given there is such a - recruitment problem in the nhs, to what extent is pay a factor in people not wanting to take those jobs? people not wanting to take those “obs? . . people not wanting to take those “obs? , , ., ., ., jobs? this is the royal college of nursin: , jobs? this is the royal college of nursing. this— jobs? this is the royal college of nursing, this is _ jobs? this is the royal college of nursing, this is part _ jobs? this is the royal college of nursing, this is part of _ jobs? this is the royal college of nursing, this is part of their - nursing, this is part of their argument. it�*s about pay, but not just about paid this year, it�*s about pay going back to 2010. the calculations show the pay has been below inflation since 2010. some analysis puts it down at five, six, 7% below inflation. they say if you want to fill the gaps in staffing at the moment you need to lift paid to what they think is a realistic, sensible level to attract people into the profession. 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.
2:21 pm
let�*s cross to belfast and to our ireland correspondent chris page. just remind us of the background to this. ., , , this. david holden is the first soldier to _ this. david holden is the first soldier to be _ this. david holden is the first soldier to be convicted - this. david holden is the first soldier to be convicted in - soldier to be convicted in connection with a killing from the conflict in northern ireland since the conflict itself was going on. this case goes back to 1988. aidan mcanespie was 23, he was walking through a border checkpoint on his way to a game like football match in county tyrone when he was fatally wounded. bullet struck in the back, and that bullet was fired by david holden. the fact that holden had been the soldier that fired the bullet was never in dispute, but what holden had claimed was that he fired the shot accidentally. he was in an army watchtower, he was in charge of a machine gun, and he
2:22 pm
sense of the machine gun was pointing the wrong direction, he tried to put it back in the right position, his hands were wet from cleaning duties, he had just carried out, and he said his fingers slipped onto the trigger. the judge he dismissed those claims. he said in fact holden had given a deliberately false account. he said holden had pointed the gun at aidan mcanespie, aidan mcanespie heard, the court heard, been a person of interest to the military northern ireland at the time, and thejudge said that holden deliberately pulled the trigger. however, holden thought that the gun was not cocked, in other words, he didn�*t expect it would actually fire live rounds. thejudge said that didn�*t expect it would actually fire live rounds. the judge said that he found holden guilty of gross negligence, manslaughter, because he said it should have been apparent that holden was handling a lethal weapon, and therefore that a death
2:23 pm
could occur if the weapon was fired. so, for the family of aidan mcanespie, who have campaigned for this moment for 3h years, well, they say they have mixed emotions about it, but overall they are relieved. the army veterans campaign group who have supported david holden through this say they are disappointed, they said that holden will appeal against thejudgment and take it said that holden will appeal against the judgment and take it to the supreme court if necessary, but this case will be seen as something of a touchstone, particularly since the government to bring legislation through parliament in westminster at the moment, which will aim to draw the moment, which will aim to draw the line and provide support to bereaved relatives. a woman with 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.
2:24 pm
butjudges disagreed and have ruled that the act does not interfere with the rights of the "living disabled." our correspondent robin brant has been following the case and is at the court of appeal in central london for us. what has been happening today? this has been what has been happening today? “tjt 3 has been the culmination of a now three—year legal process, at the heart of that is heidi crowter, she has down syndrome, her husband james has down syndrome, her husband james has down syndrome as well, and she launched a claim against the government back in 2019 saying that the abortion law in great britain, based fundamentally around the act that was passed in 1967 is discriminatory. that is because there is a specific provision within that law that allows a pregnant woman with the consent of two doctors to terminate a pregnancy up to the full term if there have been
2:25 pm
test completed has down syndrome. she says that is discriminatory, and she wanted the judges today to overturn a ruling of last year, which was in support of the government. the three judges did which was in support of the government. the threejudges did not do that. they dismissed her claim. at the heart of this human rights provisions, human rights and entitlements for both people like heidi, but also for women living in great britain, and in the end the judges said they did not believe that the human rights of heidi and others like her living with down syndrome had been contravened. this is not a case about the right to abortion in great britain, it�*s not abortion in great britain, it�*s not a case about the conditions under which a termination could go ahead, what is about is discrimination.
2:26 pm
heidi, when she left the court here, we her to come out, she embraced her mum, she said, we�*ve lost and she cried, but then she gave a statement which she said she was determined to go on, supporters around her said the fight goes on, and heidi said she felt like the anti—slavery campaigner william wilberforce. it is clear she is determined to continue with this battle, and her solicitor told us the next for there may be in a year�*s time at that and if it doesn�*t go her way then perhaps the european court. 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.
2:27 pm
heidi said a law that was passed in 1967, amended in 1990, so, before she was born, is inherently discriminatory against people like her. she believes people like her living in this country now with down syndrome, but also future people possibly to live with that condition in this country. three appeals court judges disagreed, but she and others who support her are determined to try and take this fight further. the investigation into alleged bullying by the deputy prime minister, dominic raab is now looking into three formal complaints against him after one further complaint was made this week. downing street has said the complaint was about mr raab�*s behaviour during his time at the department for exiting the european union. i�*m joined by our political correspondent, jonathan blake. what more do we know about these
2:28 pm
complaints? the what more do we know about these complaints?— complaints? the detail of the complaint is not _ complaint is not known at this point other than to say that two have the formal complaints against dominic raab relates to his time at the department ofjustice, we also said his deputy prime minister and the most recently one added to the ongoing investigation by the lawyer relates to his time as brexit secretary, and that was back in 2018, so the widening of this inquiry really reflects the mounting accusations which seem to be being made against dominic brap. there are further officials, we are told, according to our colleagues at bbc�*s newsnight, who are trying to get their complaints added to this investigation at the department of justice, but at the moment there are those three complaints against dominic raab regarding his
2:29 pm
behaviour. downing street says it wants to get it done as soon as possible in a timely manner, and he denies any accusations against him, and he wants then dealt with transparently. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with darren bett hello, there. for many parts of the country it�*s been a dry day today, quite a bit of sunshine, most of the rain has been affecting northern scotland, a few showers here this evening, but overnight will see the cloud increasing from the west and that will bring some rain in north—western parts of scotland, but later in northern ireland keeping temperatures up here. somewhat clearer skies, light winds for eastern england, chilly, temperatures not far away from a touch of frost. it may well be drier crosses in england tomorrow, bit of sunshine at least in the morning. more cloud elsewhere, rain coming

2:32 pm

in the tournament back in 1950, and then held them to a 1—1 draw at the 2010 world cup. friday�*s match represents another opportunity for american soccer to change how it is perceived around the world. the second game of the day is underway and hosts qatar could be on the brink of going out the tournament. they�*re losing 2—0 to senegal in their group a match. senegal went ahead at the end of the first half thanks to boulaye dia�*s goal. and it got worse for qatar when famara diedhiou scored the second three minutes after the break. a draw between netherlands and ecuador later would send the hosts out if they lose this. that game is live on bbc one. netherlands against

not obliged to inform us as to whether or not they�*re going to take strike action on any specific day. so although we can plan and we can assess what the risk might be, until the actual day we would be in a position to know whether or not or how much activity we might have to cancel. a waiting list are very long and we need to make sure we keep them as low as possible, recognising that we will probably be in a position of having to cancel some of our more routine appointments on the day. our more routine appointments on the da . . 4, our more routine appointments on the da . . ~j , ., , our more routine appointments on the da . ., ,, , ., , . our more routine appointments on the da. .mg , . ., our more routine appointments on the da. .mg, , . day. thank you very much for your time. a child, thought to be six years old, has died and another is in hospital after a bacterial outbreak at a primary school in surrey. the uk health security agency said the children caught the invasive group a streptococcal infection. all children and teaching staff at the ashford church of england school have since been given antibiotics.

scientists say they have made a breakthrough designing a vaccine against all 20 known types of flu. the jab, so far only tested on animals, uses the same technology as covid vaccines, and should teach the immune system how to fight existing and new flu strains. human trials will now be required to test the efficacy of the jab. to ukraine, where russian forces have been regrouping after being forced to withdraw from the city of kherson, but now appear to be concentrating their efforts towards the east of the country. in particular, they are trying to capture more territory near the city of donetsk, which pro—russian forces have controlled since 2014, and which russia now claims has joined its federation. it�*s meant heavy damage to the ukrainian—held town of avdiyivka, now effectively on the front line of the military battle. 0ur correspondent, abdujalil abdurasulov, has been there and sent this report. this is what the front
2:42 pm
line looks like. months of intensive fighting turned avdiyivka into a ghost town. those people who are still staying in the town are too afraid to go out because of constant shelling. and it�*s really quiet here. the only sound we can hear is the sound of artillery fire — both outgoing and incoming. people come out from their shelters when humanitarian aid is delivered. translation: to go to a shop or to take garbage out is an act - of bravery now. you never know whether you would come back. there are about 2,000 people remaining in avdiyivka. they try to survive without gas, electricity, heating and running water. 14 people stay in this basement.
2:43 pm
they�*ve got christmas decorations to light the shelter and use an old stove for heating. translation: our main invention is the bucket, which we use - as a toilet. local authorities, however, call people to leave the town. they warn that many will not survive the coming winter. we will not be able to provide food, we will not be able to evacuate people — even if someone decides to leave, because the roads will be blocked with snow. this winter, we won't be able to do that at all. we tell people, do you understand that even if you don't starve to death, you may simply freeze to death? elena may follow his advice and get evacuated. she�*s making pea soup outside of her apartment block. the building is severely damaged and cannot be used as a shelter in freezing weather.
2:44 pm
translation: maybe i will leave. if they shell this place again, they can blow up the whole building. all those flats below mine are destroyed. the floor in my apartment still holds up, though. explosion as she waits for her soup to be cooked, an artillery shell flies over and lands a few hundred metres from us. we have to go inside to take cover. the sounds of explosion and gunfire remind everyone that the winter here is going to be deadly. abdujalil abdurasulov, bbc news, avdiyivka. as we heard in that report, russia�*s war in ukraine is heading into a harsh winter. president zelensky has repeatedly called for the world�*s help in his nightly address. now, the first lady, 0lena zelenska, is taking on a more public role.
2:45 pm
0ur 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, 0lena 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. recently, an opinion poll was published. ukrainians were asked, how much longer can they endure
2:46 pm
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. 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. the high school sweethearts filmed this on valentine�*s day, just ten days before russia invaded
2:47 pm
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�*s, drjill biden, came to see her, both focused on education, children, families torn apart.
2:48 pm
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 0lena zelenska and bbc chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, is available on iplayer in the uk and bbc 100 women — our annual season of influential and inspiring women — launches on tuesday 6th december.

black friday sales are "off to a steady start". barclaycard payments says card spending is similar to last year. experts had predicted overall sales and profits would be lower than last year, because of the rising cost of living. the electronics retailer, currys said customers buying energy—efficient products were leading its sales. our business correspondent emma simpson reports 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. so i�*m... i�*m not going to hold back. 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. so how�*s it looking this christmas? i think it�*s looking pretty good. you know, the most important thing
2:53 pm
at christmas is to have great choice and great value — particularly this year. but are people going to be spending? yeah, i think they are. got to have fun things. i mean, here we�*ve got some brussels sprout ketchup, which... urgh! no, no, it�*s not bad, actually. the secret sauce this year, he says, is simple. 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 those that don�*t won�*t. this will be the first christmas in three years where there hopefully won�*t be any disruption. and, unlike last year, there�*s plenty of stock. the question is, will retailers be able to shift it? what we've seen is a greater breadth of black friday discounts across many more retailers than we've seen in previous years. again, i think this is symptomatic of higher levels of stock, and thenm looking to try to convert that stock into cash so they can go into next year in a lot
2:54 pm
firmer financial footing. 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 — the re—use, the refurbishment quality being good enough to actually show that there is a good, rational decision to buy refurb. we want to celebrate christmas, but for many it will be in 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. emma corrin — who played princess diana in the tv drama the crown —
2:55 pm
wants award ceremonies to replace male and female categories with non—gendered honours. corrin won a golden globe for best actress last year but soon afterwards, came out as non—binary. the star, who uses they/them pronouns, said they didn�*t think the categories are inclusive enough at the moment.the organisations behind the baftas and oscars have indicated they are in discussions about the subject. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. we have seen much more sunshine around today and it�*s still quite mild for the time of year. further afield in doha in qatar it�*s been hotting up with temperatures getting close to 30 degrees. by the time we get a kick off in the england game that temperatures will be a pleasant 26 celsius. more cloud across northern parts of the middle east with one or two showers. back in the uk and looming large on the satellite picture is this cloud moving in from the atlantic over the next couple of days. ahead of that we have some showers in the early
2:56 pm
evening across northern scotland although it won�*t be as windy by this stage and it will quickly turn chilly. more cloud coming in from the atlantic and we will find some rain developing in the north—west of scotland later on in the night. across northern ireland as well. it could be quite chilly and eastern england with temperatures in rural areas not far away from a touch of frost. heading into the weekend and we have a lower pressure out of the west and this tangle of weather fronts moving slowly away. more isobars on the charts in the wins will strengthen as well. for eastern parts of england it is likely to be dry and they could be a bit of sunshine in the morning. cloudy skies are moving in and we have rain developing across western parts of finland and wales in developing wildly in scotland. some rain from time to time in northern ireland. all the while that southerly winds will be strengthening and touching gale force around some southern and western coasts. but because it�*s a heavily wind it�*s bringing mildly and milder pushing northwards into scotland where temperatures could reach 13 or 14 degrees. but it will
2:57 pm
be getting windy through the day. it stays when the into the night as well with that weather front pushing rain eastwards across all areas. it will hang around for a while perhaps in the south—east of england. it looks like it should clear away but it�*s not far away from the far south—east throughout the day. away from here, the way of sunshine across western fringes and we will see some showers and they could be heavy and thundery. the winds easing through the day and we still have those temperatures in double figures. that is fairly mild for this time of year. heading into next week, things become quieter. they could be a few showers around but generally it�*s going to be drier, maybe a bit colder and they might be some mist and fog as well.

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 cheshmi and then, in the dying seconds, the death knell for wales. now, only beating england would give them any hope of staying in this world cup.
3:05 pm
real heartbreak on the faces of all those welsh players, they really looked stunned at the end the match. 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 and we have to try and go again. you�*ve just had a little huddle on the pitch. what was said? no, just a little something. just to keep going. we�*re going to recover. we�*re all gutted. we have to pick ourselves up straight away. it�*s going to be difficult, but we have one game left. we have to try and look at every positive and still try and enjoy the occasion, as well. realistically, does it feel like that�*s it for wales now in this world cup? it is going to be difficult, for sure. depends on the other game, and we�*ll see. and as for that red card, no arguments from wales? i haven�*t seen it so i don�*t really know, but, yeah, obviously, the red card
3:06 pm
changes the game completely. um, yeah, obviously we let the first one in, and, you know, the second doesn�*t matter, so... what can i say? we recover and we have to go again. so heartbreak for wales but totaljubilation for the iranian fans here in qatar. can you imagine being at the stadium and then going into stoppage time and seeing your team score two goals? just incredible. these were the celebrations outside the stadium — iran now have a fair chance of reaching the knockout stages if they get a result against the usa on tuesday night. 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.
3:07 pm
i think england, given how well they perform in that first game it is hard for the expectations not to be high. coming into the tournament it was a bit doom and gloom, their performances failed to deliver, really, but it was free—flowing, it was expansive, it was open, there was goals, it was everything we know that these players can do on a weekly basis, because they show us themselves doing it at club level, so it was great to see them put it all together. i don�*t see anything but an england win against usa. i think they�*re going to be maybe 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 lot of work to do themselves, so i really fancy england to go and get a positive result again. how will it be for the players over the past few days? there�*s a lot of noise in this competition, a lot of controversies being played out off the pitch. yeah. as a player, how do they block that out? we�*ve always got noise! as a player, when you�*re in that environment, you�*re at a world cup, you�*re trying as much as you can
3:08 pm
to focus on the job at hand, which is to try and go and win a world cup and try and perform to the best of your abilities. when you play for england the noise is just part and parcel of wearing the shirt, whether it is about your performances or the pressure of what comes with the team. when it comes the controversies of what is going on in qatar, and 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 in stepping forward and i think gareth southgate deserves a lot of credit for that. so, i think the noises come prior to the world cup and probablyjust going into that first game i feel like now 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 win it, but like i said, i still think it is very important that the conversation�*s had just 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 everybody loves this team, in particular. the connections between the players and the media, the players and fans,
3:09 pm
we feel it as ex—players, which i think is great as well. they are honest, they�*re an open group, they are very supportive of all the causes they believe in as a group, as well. it�*s difficult not to like them. we just want them to go one step further this time and go and lift the trophy. some high hopes there. 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. good to see you. i�*ve heard lots about metatarsal bones, the foot, the ankle, what could possibly go wrong with it, harry kane and the scan he had, is he fit to take the field tonight? that�*s the good news for the england team and gareth southgate. harry kane is fit to play he had an injury he picked up in the first game against their own, he has trained since come through that well, they said it would take
3:10 pm
a brave person to leave the england captain out of the team now he is declared fit. he is so important to the team, he is the biggest goal threat the team has, all—time goal—scoring record, so it�*s great news for gareth southgate that harry kane is available. what is the other news in terms of the teams today? there has been a couple of selection issues gareth southgate has had to work to do with harry kane, he plays club football, he came off at the first match with an illness, but has since recovered and he was at the press conference yesterday and was speaking how he has been through the various tests, he is ready and raring to go. making his 50th appearance for his country, the
3:11 pm
other dilemma is also in defence, manchester city�*s kyle walker has recovered, he came out here and travelled as part of the 26 man party, he hasn�*t played for a while for his club, gareth southgate says he joined in training and has been available for the match, so it�*s another option manager has to in defence. what is your sense of the energy and the attitude in the camp at the moment, particularly after the decisive win against iran? the mood is very good, as you can imagine, starting a major tournament in that way. the team came into this competition under a bit of pressure, they had a run for six games and there�*s a lot of expectation on this group of players that gareth southgate has developed, they did so well in the euros in the world cup before that making the semifinal, but speaking to declan rice a mason mount after the first game,
3:12 pm
and other players and staff members since, their main message has been they want to cut out the errors. the result was very good but they did concede to what they would call sloppy goals, so it�*s all about stepping up and making sure they are ready for the test of the usa. this us team is there golden generation, relative then plays their football in europe, and gareth southgate knows how that can be, and drive the message home to his players. more from them 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.
3:13 pm
here�*s our health correspondent jim reed. in its 106—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 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 19%. in england and wales, staff have already been given
3:14 pm
a rise worth around 4% on average. in northern ireland, nurses have not yet received a pay award because there�*s no working 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 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 and think they would understand that, you know, if they have been waiting for that operation, they�*ve probably been waiting for it because there wasn�*t enough staff, and if we don�*t pay nurses fairly, we�*re not going to attract people and we�*re not going to keep people. at the christmas market in birmingham, there was some concern about the impact on patients.
3:15 pm
i've got a child that's disabled, so, you know, if we did need to go then it obviously is a concern. the queues will be even worse than they already are, - but they do definitely- deserve more of a pay rise. nurses say they�*re determined to push on with their campaign into the new year. if the strikes go ahead, it�*s inevitable some patients will lose out. exactly how, we should find out in the coming weeks. jim reed, bbc news. well we heard the government�*s stance in that report — let�*s hear now from labour leader sir keir starmer. well, the nurses have been driven to this by the government, and that�*s a badge of shame for the government. they�*ve never taken strike action before. for patients this is going to be devastating news. nurses don�*t want to go on strike, and now it seems the health secretary is not even prepared to get around the table to continue negotiations to avoid the strike, and frankly, if the government is that tired of governing then they should get out the way and allow a different government to come in and deal with the underlying questions
3:16 pm
like the lack of staffing. we want to train up 15,000 new staff to come in. the cavalry is coming under a labour government. we wouldn�*t sit on our hands as this government is doing. joining me now is steve ford, editor of the nursing magazine and website nursing times. thank you forjoining us. our heavily does it weigh on nurses, this idea of taking strike action, when after all they are attracted to this profession because they want to care for people?— care for people? precisely. it is a ve , care for people? precisely. it is a very. very _ care for people? precisely. it is a very, very difficult _ care for people? precisely. it is a very, very difficult decision - care for people? precisely. it is a very, very difficult decision for. very, very difficult decision for nurses, as a group, to decide to do this, which i guess suggests or indicates the desperate situation we are in with staffing and everything else. as you mention, it�*s the first
3:17 pm
time in the rcn�*s history that they have gone on a national strike, they went on a strike in northern ireland in 2019, and other unions to go. on strike in 2014 over pay, so the profession has done before, but it is very rare. as you say, clinicians, nurses, doctors and other health care professionals, they go into these roles because they go into these roles because they want to help people. pay is not usually the underlying reason, so therefore to come to this point means that we are in a bad place. obviously it�*s around pay rises, but it�*s also linked to staffing and the fact that you need to have to pay to retain staff, and we have a national nursing staffing crisis at the moment which has been brewing for a number of years, so it�*s been
3:18 pm
coming, essentially, with these below inflation pay rises over the last decade or so manzinga contributing to what, as i�*ve said, is a nursing crisis at the moment. so it�*s demand for a 19% pay rise, which the government says is unaffordable. ijust, isuppose, shows the extent to which wages or salaries have fallen behind where the profession would hope they would be. ~ . �* . the profession would hope they would be. . ., �*, j , the profession would hope they would be. a be. well, that's it. as i said, because _ be. well, that's it. as i said, because of— be. well, that's it. as i said, because of the _ be. well, that's it. as i said, because of the accumulation j be. well, that's it. as i said, i because of the accumulation of a decade of below inflation pay rises, now the unions have opposite calculated what they think to catch up calculated what they think to catch up is a very high level, which are busy when you look at that number, and obviously government departments look at that number, it is very high, and you�*ve got unions from other organisations asking for things too, so it�*s not an easy
3:19 pm
negotiation, but it is a culmination of many years, essentially, trying to pay as little as possible and then stirring up trouble for later on, but as you point out, we got a cost of living crisis at the moment, nurses generally, the whole point of this is they are not massively well—paid, so it�*s going to bite a lot of them quite hard. we�*ve got district nurses in the community will busily have to drive to patients as well, so they do get allowances and things for fuel, but have you seen are costs like parking and all sorts of other things, so all builds up, essentially. one of the charities that looks after nurses in terms of financial struggling, i was speaking to them the other day, we know they have had a record number of nurses contacting
3:20 pm
them who are struggling financially this year, so i think itjust paints a very desperate picture. haifa a very desperate picture. how atch , a very desperate picture. how patchy. though. _ a very desperate picture. how patchy, though, make - a very desperate picture. how patchy, though, make the strikes be? although the pay is set nationally, the balance of downed within particular areas within trusts, so it is quite hard to get a grip on why patients will be affected more than others. tt why patients will be affected more than others-— than others. it is, i think we have a list of 130 _ than others. it is, i think we have a list of 130 trusts _ than others. it is, i think we have a list of 130 trusts in _ than others. it is, i think we have a list of 130 trusts in england i than others. it is, i think we have| a list of 130 trusts in england that will be, could be aware they have a mandate to take action, which is around 60%, i think, as those that were balloted. i think there was more of a push in the south—west, i think, so there�*s more trusts are expected there, and wales, the whole country except for one health board, scotland was different, as we know, it is up. they�*re due to the payoff offer that�*s been put on the table.
3:21 pm
northern ireland, it could be the whole country. so i think the couege whole country. so i think the college said that there will be really were more action will be taken, so whether that would be that everyone has a mandate as they will do it in a piecemealfashion, i guess we will see, again, what sort of action that will take, whether it�*s going to be for walk out for the whole day or what happened in 2014, when other unions like unison and unite went on strike, and the royal college of midwives as well, they basically took action several hours, so we walked out for a couple of hours and were on a picket line, devon back in again. but, again, the rcn in 2019 did something different, so we need to see the details of what unions intend to do.
3:22 pm
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. david holden is the first soldier to be convicted in connection with a killing from the conflict in northern ireland since the conflict itself was going on. this case goes back to 1988. aidan mcanespie was 23, he was walking through a border checkpoint on his way to a game like football match in county tyrone when he was fatally wounded. a bullet struck him in the back, and that bullet was fired by david holden. the fact that holden had been the soldier that fired the bullet was never in dispute, but what holden had claimed was that he fired the shot accidentally. he was in an army watchtower, he was in charge of a machine gun,
3:23 pm
and he said the machine gun was pointing the wrong direction, he tried to put it back in the right position, his hands were wet from cleaning duties he had just carried out, and he said his finger slipped onto the trigger. the judge he dismissed those claims. he said in fact holden had given a deliberately false account. he said holden had pointed the gun at aidan mcanespie, aidan mcanespie had, the court heard, been a person of interest to the military northern ireland at the time, and the judge said that holden deliberately pulled the trigger. however, holden thought that the gun was not cocked, in other words, he didn�*t expect it would actually fire live rounds. the judge said that he found holden guilty of gross negligence, manslaughter, because he said it should have been apparent that holden was handling a lethal weapon, and therefore that a death could occur if the weapon was fired.
3:24 pm
so, for the family of aidan mcanespie, who have campaigned for this moment for 34 years, well, they say they have mixed emotions about it, but overall they are relieved. the army veterans campaign group who have supported david holden through this say they are disappointed, they said that holden will appeal against the judgment and take it to the supreme court if necessary, but this case will be seen as something of a touchstone, particularly since the government to bring legislation through parliament in westminster at the moment, which will aim to draw the line and provide support to bereaved relatives. scientists say they have made a breakthrough designing a vaccine against all 20 known types of flu. the jab, so far only tested on animals, uses the same technology as covid vaccines, and should teach the immune system how to fight existing
3:25 pm
and new flu strains. human trials will now be required to test the efficacy of the jab. let�*s speak now to paul hunter, professor in medicine at the university of east anglia. thank you forjoining us. is this the holy grail, something that can tackle all 23 strengths?— tackle all 23 strengths? well, i think we will _ tackle all 23 strengths? well, i think we will have _ tackle all 23 strengths? well, i think we will have to _ tackle all 23 strengths? well, i think we will have to wait - tackle all 23 strengths? well, i think we will have to wait and i tackle all 23 strengths? well, i i think we will have to wait and see whether it actually does do what they are hoping it will do, when we go through human clinical trials, and also that it is not associated with any significant adverse reactions, but certainly the data at the moment does look promising, and hopefully, if it is proven to actually work and not be associated with adverse effects, then it will be a big step forward and it will make life a lot easier, because at the moment we can only get about
3:26 pm
four different variants of flu into each annual vaccine, and sometimes we miss the important one, and so with this technology, hopefully it will get a lot easier to have really good, effective flu jabs for the autumn. good, effective flu 'abs for the autumn. �* . . good, effective flu 'abs for the autumn. �* .,, ,., good, effective flu 'abs for the autumn. �* ., autumn. but, as you say, the moment hasn't been _ autumn. but, as you say, the moment hasn't been tested _ autumn. but, as you say, the moment hasn't been tested on _ autumn. but, as you say, the moment hasn't been tested on humans, - autumn. but, as you say, the moment hasn't been tested on humans, but i autumn. but, as you say, the momentj hasn't been tested on humans, but we hasn�*t been tested on humans, but we are some way away, are we, from actually getting something out to market, if you like?— actually getting something out to market, if you like? absolutely, and a lot of medicines _ market, if you like? absolutely, and a lot of medicines never _ market, if you like? absolutely, and a lot of medicines never actually i a lot of medicines never actually make it to market, hopefully this will well and hopefully won�*t be too long, but unlike covid, with covid there was a huge a amount of pressure, so i think something in the next year or two seems unlikely, but certainly if it does work, ultimately offering a very useful market. to ultimately offering a very useful market. ., ., .,

3:28 pm
at the weather with darren. hello, there. for many parts of the country it�*s been a dry day today, quite a bit of sunshine, most of the rain has been affecting northern scotland, a few showers here this evening, but overnight will see the cloud increasing from the west and that will bring some rain notjust in north—western parts of scotland, but later in northern ireland keeping temperatures up here. somewhat clearer skies and lighter winds for eastern england, could turn quite chilly, temperatures not far away from a touch of frost. it may well be dry across eastern england tomorrow, a bit of sunshine, at least in the morning. more cloud elsewhere, rain coming into many western parts of england, into wales, more widely in scotland, and some rain at times in northern ireland, coupled with a strong, perhaps even gale force southerly wind, that�*s blowing in milder air, and that milder air is pushing northwards into scotland, as well. that rain then moves its way eastwards overnight, together with the strong winds, lingering not far away from the south—east of england where we are going to hang on to cloud, at least during sunday, but rain�*s not far away. elsewhere there�*ll be some sunshine, some sharp showers out towards these western coasts, maybe some thunderstorms in there as well, but again temperatures in double figures.
3:29 pm
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 gutted. there is no other way to say it.
3:30 pm
we fought until the last second but it's one of those things. it's difficult to take but we have to recover and go again. meanwhile england are preparing for their match against the usa later where they hoping to secure their place in the final 16. in other news — nurses set to strike for two days before christmas — the biggest walkout in the history of the health service. the court of appeal has rejected a claim by campaigner heidi crowter 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. a former soldier�*s been found guilty of unlawfully killing a 23 year old man in northern ireland 34 years ago. a third formal complaint has been lodged against deputy prime minister dominic raab as he faces mounting bullying allegations
3:31 pm

3:32 pm
wayne hennessey was sent off by the video assistant referee for this challenge as he came out to try to clear the ball. and while it looked like they were hanging on for a vital point, in the eighth minute of stoppage time rouzbeh cheshmi�*s long range effort beat stand in goalkeeper danny ward. and as the welsh chased an equaliser iran broke away and added a second through ramin rezaeian to make it two nil. it means wales will need a win against england in theirfinal group game to stand any chance of going through. that was a tough watch. when you have _ that was a tough watch. when you have so _ that was a tough watch. when you have so many— that was a tough watch. when you have so many players _ that was a tough watch. when you have so many players having i that was a tough watch. when you have so many players having a i that was a tough watch. when youj have so many players having a bad day there — have so many players having a bad day there is — have so many players having a bad day there is only— have so many players having a bad day there is only going _ have so many players having a bad day there is only going to - have so many players having a bad day there is only going to be i have so many players having a bad day there is only going to be one i day there is only going to be one outcome — day there is only going to be one outcome we _ day there is only going to be one outcome. we knew— day there is only going to be one outcome. we knew they- day there is only going to be one outcome. we knew they were i day there is only going to be one i outcome. we knew they were going to be a threat _ outcome. we knew they were going to be a threat we — outcome. we knew they were going to be a threat. we saw— outcome. we knew they were going to be a threat. we saw the _ outcome. we knew they were going to be a threat. we saw the front - outcome. we knew they were going to be a threat. we saw the front three i be a threat. we saw the front three against _ be a threat. we saw the front three against england _ be a threat. we saw the front three against england and _ be a threat. we saw the front three against england and they— be a threat. we saw the front three against england and they scored i be a threat. we saw the front three against england and they scored a i against england and they scored a couple _ against england and they scored a couple of— against england and they scored a couple of goals _ against england and they scored a couple of goals. we _ against england and they scored a couple of goals. we didn't- couple of goals. we didn't

he and danilo are out of the tournament until at least the end of the group game with ligament injuries and they will be evaluated day by day. that�*s all the sport for now. sticking with the world cup, let�*s get more reaction to wales�* defeat by iran. joining me now is ryan march, he�*s out in qatar at the moment and was at the match earlier today. he�*s a wales fan and the creator of alternative wales, a welsh football culture magazine and podcast. how are you feeling? a bit flat at the moment. i can�*t lie, it was a disappointing afternoon. it was hot as well. it�*s nice to be inside the air conditioning. but a as well. it�*s nice to be inside the

3:46 pm
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.
3:47 pm
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 0nline 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 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. police are failing to investigate complaints and support victims of stalking,
3:48 pm
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. abi smitton reports. 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 _
3:49 pm
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. abi smitton, bbc news. the latest data suggests black friday sales are "off to a steady start".

barclaycard payments says card spending is similar to last year. experts had predicted overall sales and profits would be lower than last year, because of the rising cost of living. the electronics retailer, currys said customers buying energy—efficient products were leading its sales. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. 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. so i'm... i'm not going to hold back. 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. so how's it looking this christmas? i think it's looking pretty good. you know, the most important thing at christmas is to have great
3:52 pm
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 those that don't won't. this will be the first christmas in three years where there hopefully 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 — the re—use, the refurbishment quality being good enough to actually show that there is a good, rational decision to buy refurb. we want to celebrate christmas, but for many it will be in 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. residents living near a dangerous zebra crossing in bradford say they fear someone will "die on their doorstep" as they witness near misses on the crossing "every day". they've set up cctv cameras to film the accidents and appealed to the council for help. a warning, tom airey�*s report does contain footage of people being hit by cars from the start,
3:53 pm
but no—one was seriously injured. this is the moment a woman starts to walk across a zebra crossing on horton grange road, and this happens. a driver fails to stop and she narrowly avoids serious injury by a matter of inches. here's another clip. a child runs across after one car stops — the other ploughs into him. miraculously, he walks away. this footage is just the tip of the iceberg, says to tahir zeb, who is recording accidents and near—misses at the crossing on cctv to send to bradford council. he and others say they have spent years campaigning for a pelican crossing, so traffic lights can control vehicles. i don't want see someone dying on my doorstep. it's not... you know, if... i've seen so many accidents happen. i showed you the videos. if someone dies, how are you going to feel? it's not... the council need to find that money.
3:54 pm
they could find money for other things. the crossing on the busy 30mph—limit street is at the bottom of a hill, with two primary schools just a couple of hundred yards away. parents and children use the crossing in a constant stream at peak times. local shopkeeper mohammad haleem was nearly hit on the crossing earlier this week. as i was crossing, he just seemed to just drive off. and i was shocked. if you have a look at the footage, my arms are up in the air like, "0h, is this for real?" you know? those who live and work near this crossing here in horton grange assured me that if i hung around for long enough, i'd witness a near—miss for myself. and sure enough, while i was doing some research here yesterday, this is what i caught on my phone. a woman hidden by stationary traffic was nearly hit by a car coming down the hill in the opposite direction. mr zeb�*s cctv has recorded other accidents and near—misses on the crossing. if you've had so many
3:55 pm
accidents in one spot, then the question has to be asked, of why hasn't this been picked up over the number of years that the resident has had to install cctv cameras? that's the first question. the second question is, what have we done to respond to that? because clearly residents have been raising this issue to have to take the steps that they've taken. in a statement, bradford council said... "we understand the local concerns about this crossing, and we will carry out an immediate inspection. improvement works were carried out in 2018 to replace the existing beacons with high—visibility led units and enhanced white lining, and the location is awaiting funding to be converted to a signalled crossing. this work will take place as soon as we can." but for those who live on horton grange road, they say if these safety measures aren't brought in immediately, lives will remain at risk. tom airey, bbc news. emma corrin, who played princess diana in the tv drama
3:56 pm
the crown, wants award ceremonies to replace male and female categories with non—gendered honours. corrin won a golden globe for best actress last year but soon afterwards came out as non—binary. the star, who uses they/them pronouns, said they didn't think the categories are inclusive enough at the moment. the organisations behind the baftas and oscars have indicated they are in discussions about the subject. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. we have seen much more sunshine around today and it still quite mild for the time of year. 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 temperatures will be a pleasant 26 celsius. more cloud across northern parts of the middle east and one or two showers as well. that towards the uk and looming large on the satellite picture this cloud that is going to be moving on from the atlantic over the next couple of days. ahead of that we have some showers left into the
3:57 pm
early evening across northern scotland although it won't be quite as windy by this stage it will quickly turn chilly in eastern england with clear skies. more cloud coming in from the atlantic. we will find some rain developing in the north—west of scotland later on in the night and across northern ireland as well. it could be quite chilly in eastern england with temperatures in rural areas not far away from a touch of frost. heading into the weekend, we have lower pressure out of the west and this tangle of weather fronts moving slowly away. more isobars on the chart and the wins will be strengthening as well. for many eastern parts of england it's likely to be dry under could be some sunshine at least in the morning. cloudy skies moving in and we have rain developing across western parts of finland and wales and developing more elderly —— widely in scotland. all the while that southerly winds will be strengthening and touching gale force around some southern and western coast. but because it's a southerly wind it's bringing in mile day and at milder areas pushing northwards into scotland with temperatures could reach 30 oh i4
3:58 pm
temperatures could reach 30 oh 14 degrees. but it will be getting windy through the day. it stays when the into the night and that weather front will push rain eastwards across all areas. it will hang around for awhile perhaps in the south—east of england. it looks like it should tend to clear away but it's not far from that south—east throughout the day. we might hang on to a lot of the cloud and away from here more in the way of sunshine across these western fringes. some showers in the could be heavy and thundery. the winds will ease down through the day and we still have those temperatures in double figures. that is fairly mild for this time of year. heading into next week things do become quieter. they could be a few showers around but generally it's going to be drier and maybe a bit colder and they may be some mist and fog as well.

4:02 pm
welcome to joe welcome tojoe hart and our world cup coverage. right now we are watching the netherlands versus ecuador. i will take you back a few hours now when the fan parks around me had some people watching everyone pretty much accepted we were looking at a goalless draw between wales and iran, it was that kind of vibe, and then i was all sorts of drama. we had wayne hennessey sent off, and then to go deep in stoppage time. heartbreakfor wales. then to go deep in stoppage time. heartbreak for wales. they come here, the fans, in full voice, with
4:03 pm
enthusiasm, passion and a real belief the team can win. they are devastated, but iranians fans, also here protesting before the match, and the anger, it continued in the stadium inside, but they were ecstatic to see their team do so well, 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 walesj win against iran. time to make a statement — wales with their rainbow—striped warm up shirts...
4:04 pm
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! hosseini staying strong. then time for wales to feel the heat. hesitating in defence... azmoun with a little lay—off... 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
4:05 pm
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 cheshmi and then, in the dying seconds, the death knell for wales. now, only beating england would give them any hope of staying in this world cup. huge disappointment being expressed by the welsh team captain gareth bale in particular, he is straight after the match said they were devastated but had to pick themselves up and look ahead to the next 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 and we have to try and go again. you've just had a little huddle on the pitch. what was said?
4:06 pm
no, just a little something. just to keep going. we're going to recover. we're all gutted. we have to pick ourselves up straight away. it's going to be difficult, but we have one game left. we have to try and look at every positive and still try and enjoy the occasion, as well. realistically, does it feel like that's it for wales now in this world cup? it is going to be difficult, for sure. depends on the other game, and we'll see. and as for that red card, no arguments from wales? i haven't seen it so i don't really know, but, yeah, obviously, the red card changes the game completely. um, yeah, obviously we let the first one in, and, you know, the second doesn't matter, so... what can i say? we recover and we have to go again. so heartbreak for wales but totaljubilation for the iranian fans here in qatar. you can see it on their faces, just

how much it meant to so many of these were the celebrations outside the stadium — quick update on netherlands versus ecuador, the netherlands had just scored, so they are i—o up in that match at the moment. that is an update from what is happening right now, but let's talk about england and their prospects tonight when they play the usa. a win for gareth southgate cosmic side would see them go through to knockout stages. with the england camp as our correspondent. what is the latest on team selection? we have talked a lot about harry kane's foot. how is it? a lot of the talk is venip round harry kane, he had a scan on the

4:09 pm
approaching this match tonight? spirits are very good, they came into this competition with some pressure on them. it was six games without a win, and after that match you could see the release of that pressure. i spoke to declan rice and mason mount after the game and they were very happy to start the tournament in such a positive way. they did speak about eradicating those errors, they're netting two goals against iran, but the message from the camp, from gareth southgate has been a positive one. this us team will present a tougher challenge, it is their golden generation, many of them play in europe and they are up and coming, but england is building up to the match very positively. aha, but england is building up to the match very positively.— match very positively. a positive environment _ match very positively. a positive environment in _ match very positively. a positive environment in the _ match very positively. a positive environment in the camp, i match very positively. a positive environment in the camp, but i match very positively. a positive i environment in the camp, but what do the team do in their downtime? gareth southgate is always

qatar have also been action today, but once again the game ended in defeat for the host nation, this time to senegal. before i go a quick reminder of today's fixtures. round of matches. the hosts qatar are currently playing senegal, the score
4:12 pm
is currently 2—0 to senegal. later england faces the usa. plenty more to come from here, but for now it's back to the studio. 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. here's our health correspondent jim 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 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,
4:13 pm
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 19%. in england and wales, staff have already been given a rise worth around 4% on average. in northern ireland, nurses have not yet received a pay award because there's no working 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 we also respect the independent pay review body's findings, and i have agreed to
4:14 pm
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 and think they would understand that, you know, if they have been waiting for that operation, they've probably been waiting for it because there wasn't enough staff, and if we don't pay nurses fairly, we're not going to attract people and we're not going to keep people. at the christmas market in birmingham, there was some concern about the impact on patients. i've got a child that's disabled, so, you know, if we did need to go then it obviously is a concern. the queues will be even worse than they already are, - but they do definitely- deserve more of a pay rise. nurses say they're determined to push on with their campaign into the new year. if the strikes go ahead, it's inevitable some patients will lose out. exactly how, we should find out in the coming weeks. jim reed, bbc news.

4:16 pm
glasgow and east lothian will go out on strike. we don't know what the precise impact on schools of this action will be as yet, but it is reasonable to propose that it is likely we will see widespread closures in each area on the day of action in each area. you remember that yesterday was the first national school strike in scotland since the better teachers strike backin since the better teachers strike back in the 1980s, a dispute which lasted for nearly two years. yesterday the impact was probably unprecedented, with virtually every state school in scotland closed, only a tiny number of primary schools in orkney and shetland open. i think you can read into the fact that the eis is giving so much warning here, the fact they are planning for the worst but hoping for the best. they realise the threat of a teachers strike like

4:18 pm
earlier i spoke to our ireland correspondent, chris page, who was at laganside courts in belfast. david holden is the first soldier to be convicted in connection with a killing from the conflict in northern ireland since the conflict itself was going on. this case goes back to 1988. aidan mcanespie was 23, he was walking through a border checkpoint on his way to a gaelic football match in county tyrone when he was fatally wounded. a bullet struck him in the back, and that bullet was fired by david holden. the fact that holden had been the soldier that fired the bullet was never in dispute, but what holden had claimed was that he'd fired the shot accidentally. he was in an army watchtower, he was in charge of a machine gun, and he said the machine gun was pointing the wrong direction, he tried to put it back in the right position,
4:19 pm
his hands were wet from cleaning duties he had just carried out, and he said his finger slipped onto the trigger. thejudge here dismissed those claims. he said in fact holden had given a deliberately false account. he said holden had pointed the gun at aidan mcanespie, aidan mcanespie had, the court heard, been a person of interest to the military northern ireland at the time, and the judge said that holden deliberately pulled the trigger. however, holden thought that the gun was not cocked, in other words, he didn't expect it would actually fire live rounds. the judge said that he found holden guilty of gross negligence, manslaughter, because he said it should have been apparent that holden was handling a lethal weapon, and therefore that a death could occur if the weapon was fired. so, for the family of
4:20 pm
aidan mcanespie, who have campaigned for this moment for 34 years, well, they say they have mixed emotions about it, but overall they are relieved. the army veterans campaign group who have supported david holden through this say they are disappointed, they said that holden will appeal against the judgment and take it to the supreme court if necessary, but this case will be seen as something of a touchstone, particularly since the government is bringing legislation through parliament in westminster at the moment, which will aim to draw the line and provide support to bereaved relatives. a woman with down syndrome has lost a case. heidi crowter wanted to
4:21 pm
remove a section of the abortion act. butjudges disagreed and have ruled that the act does not interfere with the rights of the �*living disabled'. our correspondent robin brant was at the court of appeal earlier. she launched a claim against the governments and the department of health back in 2019 saying the abortion law in great britain, based fundamentally around the act was passed in 1967, discriminatory. that is because there is a specific provision within that law that allows a pregnant woman with the consent of two doctors to terminate a pregnancy up to the full term if they have been test completed that show the baby has down syndrome. she says that is discriminatory and she
4:22 pm
wanted the judges today to overturn a ruling of last year which was in support of the government. the three judges did not do that, they dismissed her claim. at the heart of this are human rights provisions, human rights and entitlements for people like heidi, but also for women living in great britain, and in the end the judges said they did not believe that the human rights of heidi and others like her are living with down syndrome had been contravened. this is not a case about the right to abortion in great britain, it's not a case about the conditions under which a termination could go ahead. what it is about is about discrimination. heidi, when she left the court here, we heard how come out, she embraced her mum, she said we lost and she cried, but
4:23 pm
she said we lost and she cried, but she gave a statement in which she said she was determined to go on, supporters around her said the fight goes on, and heidi said she felt like the anti—slavery campaigner william wilberforce. so, it is clear she is determined to continue with this battle and her solicitor told us in except that there may be in a year's time the supreme court, and if it doesn't go their way after that then possibly the european court. j that then possibly the european court. ., , , , ., that then possibly the european court. ., , ,, ., ., court. i am very upset not to win arain, court. i am very upset not to win again. but — court. i am very upset not to win again. but i — court. i am very upset not to win again, but i will— court. i am very upset not to win again, but i will keep _ court. i am very upset not to win again, but i will keep on - court. i am very upset not to win again, but i will keep on fighting| again, but i will keep on fighting because we have already informed and changed hearts and minds and change people's opinions about the law. i am very upset the babies with down syndrome can be aborted up to bursts. this tells me that i am not valued and have less value than person with down syndrome. heidi
4:24 pm
said the law _ person with down syndrome. heidi said the law that _ person with down syndrome. heidi said the law that was _ person with down syndrome. heidi said the law that was passed in 1967, amended in 1990, so before she was born, 1967, amended in 1990, so before she was horn, is inherently discriminatory against people like her. she says people like living in this country now with down syndrome are also future people, possibly to live with that condition in this country, appeal court dishes tell you myjudges disagreed, but they are determined to try and take the fight further. the investigation into claims about the conduct of the deputy prime minister dominic raab is now looking into three formal complaints against him after a further complaint was made this week. downing street said the complaint was about mr raab's behaviour during his time at the department for exiting the european union. mr raab says he has "behaved professionally at all times". a man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a mother and her two young children, who died in a fire at a house in nottingham. jamie barrow spoke only to confirm his name before being remanded in custody until monday.

the two girls, naeemah and fatimah drammeh — aged just one and three — died from smoke inhalation on sunday. their mother, fatoumatta hydara, died a few days later. scientists say they have made a breakthrough designing a vaccine against all 20 known types of flu. the jab, so far only tested on animals, uses the same technology as covid vaccines, and should teach the immune system how to fight existing and new flu strains. human trials will now be required to test the efficacy of the jab. earlier i spoke to paul hunter, professor in medicine at the university of east anglia. he was cautiously optimistic about the development. i think we'll have to wait and see whether it actually does do what they are hoping it will do when we go through human clinical trials, and also that it is not associated with any significant adverse reactions, but certainly the data at
4:26 pm
the moment does look promising, and hopefully if it is proven to actually work and not be associated with adverse effects then it will be a big step forward, or make life a lot easier, because at the moment we can only get about four different variants of flu into each annual vaccine, and sometimes we miss the important one, and so with this technology, hopefully it will get a lot easier to have really good, effective flu jabs for the autumn. but, as you say, the moment it hasn't been tested on humans, so we are far away from actually getting something out of the market, if you like. ~ , y something out of the market, if you like. ~ , , ., , something out of the market, if you like. u, , ., , , like. absolutely, and it must be said a lot of _ like. absolutely, and it must be said a lot of developments i like. absolutely, and it must be said a lot of developments in i said a lot of developments in medicine don't ultimately make it to market, this will have free will, hopefully it will be that long, but unlike covid, with covid there was a huge amount of time pressure and

money going into the covid vaccines, and that pressure won't be there for flu, so i think something in the next year or two seems unlikely, but hopefully if it does work, ultimately it will find very market. to what extent have we been sort of spoilt or had our expectations raised a bit too high because we saw the covid jab developed at great pace, didn't we?— the covid jab developed at great pace, didn't we? yes, and that's because there _ pace, didn't we? yes, and that's because there was _ pace, didn't we? yes, and that's because there was a _ pace, didn't we? yes, and that's because there was a huge i pace, didn't we? yes, and that's. because there was a huge amount pace, didn't we? yes, and that's i because there was a huge amount of money upfront so people could plan subsequent developments, and for most vaccine development you get a grant or you get the funding to develop the first stage, if that works and you have to apply more money to develop a second stage, so that's a big delay in the system which we didn't go through the covid, so don't expect it to be pushed through as quickly for this flu jab as for covid, and ultimately it may well turn out not to be as
4:28 pm
effective as we'd hoped, but fingers crossed that it will actually be as good as dam. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren. a nice day for very many parts of the country today, we ended on a high note really, colouring heading in from the atlantic and coming through overnight tonight, bringing rain into the north—west of scotland and later into northern ireland. the wind is always the strengthening, three—storey lighting drier, temperatures may not be far away from freezing in some rural areas. we can. chilly start here, eastern doing and they start drawing, as you can see there is much more cloud than today, rain moving into wales, into western parts of england, further north into scotland, for
4:29 pm
northern ireland, as well, went strengthening through the day, could touch gale force, drawing in milder air to scotland, temperatures here reaching 30 degrees. but i this sunday the rain will stripped down to the south—east or hang around during the day, but away from here, away from the cloud we have sunshine, cloud coming into the western areas, may be heavy and thundery, miles of the time of year with temperatures 11 — 13.

man in northern ireland 34 years ago. the court of appeal has rejected a claim by campaigner heidi crowder that the abortion rolls around down syndrome in great britain are discreet italy. her family vows to take the case to the supreme court. sport and for a full round up, let's go to the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. less than three hours until england kick off against the usa, but wales are in danger of exiting their first world cup in 64 years after that heartbreaking loss to iran earlier today. the game was drifting towards a goal—less draw when wales lost their goalkeeper. wayne hennessey was sent off by the video assistant referee for this challenge as he came rushing out to try to clear the ball. and while it looked like they were hanging on for a vital point, in the eighth minute of stoppage time rouzbeh cheshmi's long range effort, beat replacement keeper danny ward.
4:33 pm
and as the welsh chased an equaliser, iran broke away and added a second through ramin rezaeian to make it two nil. it means wales have to win against england, in theirfinal group game on tuesday to stand any chance of going through. it hurts now but it's football. it happens in football. well, before the match, the iranian players sang the national anthem while fans in the stadium booed and some cried. the players didn't sing the anthem in their opener against england in an apparent expression of support for anti—government protests. the victory on the pitch gives the country a real chance of going beyond the group stages for the first time in their history. it'sjust the beginning now. we need to finish the job but i i
4:34 pm
think it was a wonderful day for us. i don't have words to say, _ how to say thank you to our players. they were brilliant. they deserve it, they deserve all the attention and respect. | today, people understand they love to play football. j so not long to go now, until england take on the usa this evening. gareth southgate's side know a win will they them through to the knockouts — the fourth time in a row they'll have reached that phase of major tournaments. let's join alex howell, get the latest from outside the al—bayt stadium. great to see you. will england be feeling pressure ahead of this match, knowing what happened in that wales iran game today? j match, knowing what happened in that wales iran game today?— wales iran game today? i think this team is used _ wales iran game today? i think this team is used to _ wales iran game today? i think this team is used to the _ wales iran game today? i think this team is used to the pressure i wales iran game today? i think this team is used to the pressure now. wales iran game today? i think this l team is used to the pressure now and the pressure at a world cup. they

4:36 pm
spoke about that yesterday. they are a very physical side. they know the english players, a lot of them play in the premier league. so england have to be right at it. gareth southgate has been putting that message across this week as he knows just how ruthless world cup football really is. the netherlands are playing ecuador right now as they look to all but seal their spot in the last 16 and they're winning 1—0, cody gakpo with the goal. if the dutch avoid defeat the hosts, qatar, will be going out of the tournament after they lost 3—1 to senegal this afternoon. senegal went ahead in their group a match, at the end of the first half thanks to boulaye dia's goal. and it got worse for qatar when famara diedhiou scored the second, just after half time. qatar did manage to score their first goal of the tournament when mohammad muntari headed in, but their urgency came too late and a goalfrom bamba dieng in the closing stages made sure of senegal�*s first win of the world cup.
4:37 pm
and some bad news for one of the tournament favourites brazil. neymar suffered an ankle injury in their win over serbia last night and was in tears in the dugout. the team doctors says both he and danilo are out of the tournament until at least the end of the group stage with ligament injuries and they will be evaluated day by day. that's all the sport for now. 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 0nline 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.
4:38 pm
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
4:39 pm
consent issue that is central. the 0nline 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 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. joining us now isjess davies, tv presenter and campaigner

4:47 pm
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.
4:48 pm
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
4:49 pm
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. abi smitton, bbc news. a man from worcestershire who says he can't afford to pay his heating bills, has started sticking cardboard to his walls and ceilings, to try to improve the insulation in his maisonette. nigel cleall says his rented home is poorly insulated. the fire service has strongly advised against using such measures, because of the potential fire hazard. kevin reide reports. lorry driver nigel cleall lives in a ground floor maisonette in the village of markley near worcester with his is—year—old son. and, in an effort to stop his heating bills going through the roof, he is applying cardboard to the ceiling. you have heard of cardboard cities where homeless people live within cardboard boxes underneath subways and all that lot, it's a good, natural heat—retaining stuff so i thought, if it does that,
4:50 pm
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.
4:51 pm
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. 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.
4:52 pm
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
4:53 pm
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. the latest data suggests black friday sales are "off to a steady start". barclaycard payments says card spending is similar to last year. experts had predicted overall sales and profits would be lower than last year, because of the rising cost of living. the electronics retailer, currys said customers buying energy—efficient products were leading its sales. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. the signs are everywhere, and this year the black friday deals have been earlier, too, to tempt us to part with our cash.
4:54 pm
