at six... heartbreak for wales after a last—minute defeat at the world cup. the wales goalkeeper was sent off in the final minutes of the game, leaving a golden opportunity for iran, who suddenly scored twice. wales are left devastated and in danger of crashing out of their first world cup since 1958. england kick off against the usa in an hour's time. will fans still be celebrating tonight? we'll be live in qatar. also in the programme... nurses in england, wales and northern ireland will walk out on 15th and 20th december in a dispute over pay, the first

time they've gone on strike. and a busy day bagging up bargains on black friday. on bbc london... and coming up on sportsday later in the hour on the bbc news channel, will the netherlands be the first side through to the last 16 at the world cup? they made a strong start against ecuador. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. wales�* first appearance at the world cup finals in 64 years looks like it may well be a short one, after they were dramatically beaten by iran in the last few minutes of the game. the wales goalkeeper was sent off and iran scored two goals in quick succession. the wales captain gareth bale said they were gutted. from qatar, here's hywel griffith on a disappointing day for wales. fans sing in harmony.

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. it's unbelievable. ijust can't believe that i'm here and ijust hope - wales win against iran. before play began, some politics. wales warmed up with rainbows on their sleeves, a gesture against discrimination. iran's players sang their anthem, unlike their silent protest against england. wales started well, kieffer moore testing... good save! ..hosseini staying strong. but soon, wales felt the heat, hesitating in defence, but soon, wales felt the heat, helped eventually by the video referee — off—side. iran kept coming, hitting one post... ..then another. where on earth did

wales find this luck? it soon ran out, as wayne hennessey sprinted from his line to clear the ball... he cleared out mehdi taremi instead. red card, and the red wall started to crumble, first with a wonder strike from cheshmi, and then another in the dying seconds, the death knell for wales. it's gutting. erm... yeah, we're gutted, there's no other way to say it. we fought until the last second, but, go, it's one of those things, it is difficult to take, but we have to recover and we have to try and go again. and for the fans who'd hoped to witness history, deflation and defiance. it feels like an end of an era to me, to be honest, and, yeah, gut—churning. well, we've got nothing to lose now, so, nothing to pay for, really. - we've got to beat england.

only a win against england offers wales any chance of staying in this tournament. their world cup hopes hang by a thread. by by the end of the game today, wales and seemed to be devoid of ideas, the players drained of self—belief, it is hard to see how they will pick themselves up for tuesday, they should have because remember the words of the song that wales have sung all the way to this world cup, wales are still here, but based on today's performance, probably not for much younger. this was, of course, meant to be a day of history, the reason thousands of schoolchildren back in wales were given the morning off to watch the match, plenty of parents will have worked from home, or maybe even the pub. tomos morgan was following that emotional rollercoaster.

football took precedent over lessons in wales today, as several schools showed the game instead of textbooks. as the anthem rang out across the country, in the fan hubs, beers flowed and emotions were high. but any optimism quickly changed to tension, as cymru failed to tension, as wales failed to convert possession. goalless at half—time. maybe not going the way that many fans had hoped and predicted. there is tension in the air, but they're all still making the most of the occasion. if we lose today, we are out, hey? got to win. must win. i'm still rooting for wales. i still think they can do it. i'm optimistic that they're going to get out of the groups. just turn it up. - just don't be scared. just go for it. - it's the world cup. just go for it. as the second half went on, disaster — a red card for wales... ..and two goals for iran in the dying minutes. we didn't show up, if i'm honest. we could have and should have got more out of it, but again that's up to the team and the way the staff work, and i don't think we tried enough today. i think that we should have got a goal because we deserved it,

but itjust is what it is. as the pupils return deflated to the classroom, despite the disappointing result, the red wall will at least try and enjoy what may on tuesday be their last game of a first world cup appearance since 1958. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. nurses in england, wales and northern ireland after such a big build—up, waiting for so long, such a disappointment for so long, such a disappointment for wales fans?— for so long, such a disappointment for wales fans? absolutely, the 64 ear for wales fans? absolutely, the 64 yearjourney _ for wales fans? absolutely, the 64 yearjourney we — for wales fans? absolutely, the 64 yearjourney we have _ for wales fans? absolutely, the 64 yearjourney we have all— for wales fans? absolutely, the 64 yearjourney we have all spoken i yearjourney we have all spoken about suddenly looks like it could come crashing to an end. hearing from supporters afterwards, yes, there was some recrimination, some questions about the tactics or lack of them, some questions about this man, wales' talisman, gareth bale, who seemed anonymous at times. he has given so much for wales, perhaps this was a step too far for him and that generation of players. but all of that said, people will maybe wake

up of that said, people will maybe wake up tomorrow and realise wales are still in the world cup, and they go into that game on tuesday with literally nothing to lose, so, prepare to have the welsh team throw everything at it, for maybe their last moment in the sun. meanwhile, this is the stadium, _ last moment in the sun. meanwhile, this is the stadium, live _ last moment in the sun. meanwhile, this is the stadium, live pictures - this is the stadium, live pictures coming up, where england will face the usa in less than an hour's time and we will be back there with a full report later in the programme. nurses in england, wales and northern ireland are to stage their biggest walk—out in the history of the royal college of nursing in a dispute over pay. the union has announced strikes in the run—up to christmas on the 15th and 20th december with its general secretary saying nurses "have had enough of being taken for granted". routine services will be hit but emergency care will go ahead. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. it's a month till christmas, but before then, not one but two strikes by nurses at a busy time for the health service. nurses martha and tom say it hasn't

been an easy decision. i think it's a difficult one because you have to be organised to strike, so there's a lot of preparation that goes into it, so i think it's a good thing. yeah, keen to do it. if we were given a decent pay rise, it would immediately go away. there just wouldn't be a strike. yeah _ i don't think it's anything necessarily anyone wants to do. but the prime minister today visiting a gp practice said in respect of england, money was a problem... ..with the royal college of nursing calling for 5% above inflation. what the unions are asking for, i think, is a 19% pay rise, and i think most people watching will recognise that that's obviously unaffordable. and 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 this. ballots at most but not all health organisations reached the required threshold to allow nurses to strike. the royal college of nursing

has yet to spell out where there will be walk—outs. the dates may have been set, with strikes beginning at 8am in the morning and lasting 12 hours, but what's not clear yet is the precise definition of emergency care which will continue on those days and planned treatments and appointments where there will be widespread postponements because of the walk—outs. we really are sorry that there will be any disruption to services, but the government needs to talk to us to avoid this disruption. but what we do say is that services are already disrupted. every single day, people are waiting too long for surgery, they're waiting too long for ambulances. employers are still uncertain about the implications of the strikes. we know that emergency services will be protected and we know that cancer services will be protected, but when we don't have nurses in their roles, it has a knock—on effect across the whole of a hospital or another service. they really are the lifeblood of hospital services, so when they're not there, it can get very difficult.

fair pay! when do we want it? now! nurses in scotland have suspended strike plans after the scottish government made a higher offer, an increase of around 8%. one health union, unison, says it will recommend that to members. elsewhere in the uk, the public will have to face strikes in the nhs and other public services as christmas gets nearer. hugh pym, bbc news. 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 dominic his at the department during his time at the department for exeter in the european union. dominic raab says he has behaved at all times. —— professionally at all times. —— exiting the european union. our top story this evening... world cup heartbreakfor

yes, and being more thoughtful about buying things that are really thoughtful gifts, that people want and need. perhaps rather than something more extravagant. black friday started even earlier this year. of course, some aren't all that they're cracked up to be. spending, because they have to turn all this stock into cash. down the road at this retail park, the shoppers were out in force. some, spending more than others. you've got a few bags there. yes. 20% off, 50% off. so, yeah... we have actually all agreed as a family that we are going to cut down this year. just buy what we need rather than buy to make ourselves feel better for giving. things are very tight, aren't they? i think with everybody. _ so, a bargain is always good. you want a deal? everyone wants a deal. and retailers know it.

it's their most crucial time of the year, but it's also christmas in a cost of living crisis. i think it's value, value, 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 is not going to break the bank are going to win. make or break time for some businesses. in northern ireland 34 years ago as he travelled to a football match. david holden, who's now 53, was convicted of manslaughter, for opening fire on aidan mcanespie with a machine gun at a border crossing point. he's the first veteran to be convicted of an historical offence in northern ireland

since the good friday agreement. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. former soldier david holden, seen here in the facemask, was 18 at the time of the shooting. he had been serving with the grenadier guards, while the british army was deployed in northern ireland during the troubles, manning an army checkpoint along the irish border. aidan mcanespie was believed by the army to be an ira suspect at the time, the paramilitary group that had been waging a campaign of violence. as he crossed the border on foot, he was killed by a gunshot wound to the back. david holden claimed his hands were wet and always said he fired his machine gun accidentally. but after a long campaign by aidan mcanespie's family, today a judge found the former soldier guilty of manslaughter. we had 34 years. i never thought we would have got it. as a family and local community from that area,

we did not believe the version of events that david holden or the british government put out at the time of aidan's shooting. yes, aidan mcanespie was shot 34 years ago, or more than 34 years ago. the argument is always that the passage of time will leave it almost impossible to get to the truth. this ruling today actually blows that out of the water and says it is possible for other families, and we would encourage, and everybody here, we would encourage all the other families, do not give up hope. they're still around 1000 unsolved killings from the troubles. but this could be the last time an army veteran faces charges. in future, there may be immunity from prosecution for former soldiers and paramilitaries for decades—old killings, as the government is bringing forward legislation which aims to draw a line under the conflict. instead, focusing on gathering information for victims' families. but an amnesty on troubles prosecutions is opposed by victims groups, and david holden's conviction will be seen as vindication by many other families who say they too deserve justice. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast.

scientists in the united states say they've made a breakthrough by designing a vaccine against all known strains of flu. it raises hopes for the development of a universal flu vaccine. our medical editor fergus walsh is here to explain what it could mean. we are locked in a perpetual war against the constantly changing flu virus. every year scientists have to made an educated guess as to which strains will be circulating. this winter's flu vaccine protects against four strains of flu, including h1n1, which triggered the swine flu pandemic and h3n2 — the most common strain globally. scientists in the united states developed a vaccine against all 20

known a and b strains. the vaccine gave broad protection in animal trials using mice and ferrets. the vaccine was created using the same mrna technology as deployed in the pfizer/biontech and moderna covid jabs. it contains instructions to our cells to produce the different spike proteins on the surface of the virus. so why does this matter? a universal flu vaccine would not give perfect protection, and we'd probably need a new flu jab each winter. but it could prime the immune system against every potential flu threat, so blunting the impact of any new pandemic. we've seen over the course of history that influenza viruses do cause pandemics every ten or 20 years. and when that next pandemic strain hits us, we hope that this kind of vaccine, if given before a pandemic, will again provide a level of immunity that will keep us out of the hospitals, keep us from dying of these new pandemic strains.

some flu pandemics are comparatively mild. swine flu in 2009 caused around 500,000 deaths worldwide. but previous flu epidemics have been far more serious, especially spanish flu, after the first world war, which may have killed between 50 and 100 million people. human trials of this universal flu vaccine are likely to begin next year and the same mrna technology holds promise in many otherfields, including developing treatment vaccines for cancer. a group of organisations working together to give victims of stalking more support have launched what's called a super complaint againt the police in england and wales accusing them of not doing enough to investigate offences and protect victims. the home office says it takes stalking extremely seriously, but ten years after stalking was made a specific criminal offence, people living in fear of their stalkers say far more needs to be done. anjana gadgil reports.

it's a constant dread that you're going to be attacked, or he's going to find you. and he's either going to rape you, or kill you, or both. i live my life on edge, worrying what's next. two women, living in fear of their stalkers. too afraid to show their faces or give their real names. it started off with threats. he was going to ruin me. he was going to destroy me. for kim, the stalking began when she ended an abusive relationship. i left myjob. i've got a lot of health problems now, because of the chronic stress i've lived under. i was basically scared to go outside. so i guess you could say it changed my whole life. his threats, when it started, came true. he has destroyed my life. claire has never met her stalker, but his persistent online presence left her too frightened to leave the house.

he threatened to shoot us. ambulances called to my house, police called to my house. my stalker turning up on the doorstep. it felt like daily there was something about us on social media. there were 1.8 million stalking incidents in england and wales last year. one in five women and one in ten men have experienced some form of stalking. butjust 5% of cases reported to the police result in a stalking charge, and only 2% of reported cases result in a stalking conviction. both women believe the police failed to act. it got the stage where, when i was reporting, i was scared i was going to be charged with wasting police time. kim carried out her own casework, leading to her stalker serving ten months injail. claire's stalker was charged with harassment, not stalking, but breached bail numerous times. she says the police

weren't interested. i reported it and reported it, and reported it. and theyjust didn't protect me. i would never go to them again. we played claire's comments to the police officer who leads the response to stalking in england and wales. she's very disappointed in the police. i can absolutely understand that. and it goes against everything that we are trying to do. - we put in place national training for first responders, _ the call handlers, - but also for investigators. which is really focused around . identifying where is the fixation, where is the obsession, _ the unwanted and repeated behaviour. both men still try to make contact. both women are trying to rebuild their lives. anjana gadgil, bbc news. the mousetrap celebrate in 70 years

a disconnect between what fifa are saying, that everybody is welcome and rainbow flags can be shown, to what is happening on the ground with security and police. time for a look at the weather. plenty of dry weather around through today. this is the new forest. still quite soggy underfoot. there is more rain in the forecast as we had to the weekend. rain and the forecast as we head through this evening as well. lots of showers developing and continuing across north—west scotland, and also through parts of wales and south—west england. elsewhere, mainly dry with clear spells. more cloud building from the west, the rain that we see tomorrow morning. a mild night. temperatures generally in the range from five to eight celsius. it could be lower for eastern areas of england. chilly first thing tomorrow. we have this deep area of low pressure approaching from the west and that will be increasing, the cloud pushing rain eastwards through the

day. it will be taking its time to push its way eastwards. that rain developing through northern ireland, south—west england, wales, north—west england and scotland through the morning. by the afternoon, it will still be dry across north—east england, east anglia and south—east england. here, we see sunshine through the morning. a windy day. we are likely to see gales along western coasts, irish sea coast, western isles, perhaps reaching 45 or 50 mph. the wind is coming from a southerly direction, so temperatures typically between 11 and 13 celsius, a few places where it could get up to 14 celsius. the frontal system still lingering as we head through sunday night. all of us will see heavy rain associated with that. gradually starting to clear away. it will start to linger in parts of east anglia in south—east england through sunday morning. cloudier and a little bit damp. behind it, some sunshine. further showers piling into the north and west as the day wears on. the wind is not quite as strong, still noticeable for western coasts, temperatures in the range of 11 or 13 celsius. after all the rain we have had recently, things will start

to calm down a little bit next week. for many it is looking drier, quieter, not lots
