england's showdown with the us tonight has led to goalless draw. england remain top of their group despite the disappointing draw. the result means an england victory or draw in their next match against wales will see them go through to the last 16. the welsh have a real battle on their hands to qualify for the knockout stages after being beaten 2—0 in their match against iran. in a moment we'll hearfrom danjohnson, who watched the england game with fans in stourbridge, but first, he is out with sports correspondent natalie pirks in qatar. the bedouin tent—inspired al bayt stadium was the destination. and on the party bus, english confidence was flowing. fans sing. # we will score more goals than you # england! didn't you see the first game? it's a no—brainer. we're the best in the world, it's going to be no problem. i think we'll beat them comfortably. six points tonight, let's have it.

but there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and how the us team would love to make fans eat their words. an unchanged england team began brightly enough, jude bellingham and bukayo saka combining beautifully to play harry kane almost in. but as the usa got a foothold, england looked laboured. mckennie found the space but couldn't make it count. american pressure kept coming. chelsea's christian pulisic with a belter. and with the crossbar still reverberating, england finally found some space, but mason mount found only the hands of matt turner. if you were hoping for a second—half improvement, look away now. pickford implored his teammates to switch on, but england's most creative players were anonymous, and they were loving it. three substitutions were made, but against a well drilled defensive blueline, england's probing was ponderous. in injury time, england fans

looked to a higher power. there was nothing heavenly about harry kane's effort. england will still qualify if they avoid a four goal defeat to wales. that was little consolation, though, to fans. as the boos rang out. same old, the lack of urgency, terrible. really upset. we came here hoping for so much, and at least we didn't lose. we know the group is in our hands. we know the group is in our hands. we are _ we know the group is in our hands. we are top— we know the group is in our hands. we are top of— we know the group is in our hands. we are mi) of the _ we know the group is in our hands. we are top of the group. _ we know the group is in our hands. we are top of the group. the - we are top of the group. the same thing _ we are top of the group. the same thing happened _ we are top of the group. the same thing happened at— we are top of the group. the same thing happened at the _ we are top of the group. the same thing happened at the euros- we are top of the group. the same thing happened at the euros wherei we are top of the group. the same i thing happened at the euros where we win the _ thing happened at the euros where we win the first _ thing happened at the euros where we win the first game, _ thing happened at the euros where we win the first game, drew— thing happened at the euros where we win the first game, drew the - thing happened at the euros where we win the first game, drew the second, i win the first game, drew the second, and then— win the first game, drew the second, and then we — win the first game, drew the second, and then we won _ win the first game, drew the second, and then we won the _ win the first game, drew the second, and then we won the third _ win the first game, drew the second, and then we won the third going - win the first game, drew the second, and then we won the third going into| and then we won the third going into the knockout — and then we won the third going into the knockout stages _ and then we won the third going into the knockout stages so _ and then we won the third going into the knockout stages so hopefully- the knockout stages so hopefully that's _ the knockout stages so hopefully that's what — the knockout stages so hopefully that's what they _ the knockout stages so hopefully that's what they can _ the knockout stages so hopefully that's what they can do - the knockout stages so hopefully that's what they can do this - the knockout stages so hopefullyl that's what they can do this time. this result means england still haven't beaten the us at a world cup. tonight, they red, white and blew the chance to wrap things up early. natalie pirks, bbc news, qatar.

with one point from two games. they lost 2—0 in the dying minutes of the match after the welsh keeper was sent off. the captained gareth bale says the team is gutted. in a moment we'll hearfrom tomos says the team is gutted. in a moment we'll hear from tomos morgan who was watching with fans in cardiff but first from tata, here is hywel griffith. 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, 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 it's one of those things, it's 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, l so, everything to play for, really. l we've got to be at that game. we've got to beat england. so wales wilted under the desert sun. only now beating england next week gives them any hope of staying in this competition. ry�*n ni yma o hyd, as the fans sing. wales are still in this — but only just. hywel griffith, bbc news at the ahmed bin ali stadium. football took precedent over lessons in wales today, as several schools showed the game instead of text books. as the anthem rang out across the country, in the fan hubs the beers flowed and emotions were high. but any optimism quickly changed

to tension, as wales failed to convert possession. goalless at half—time, maybe not going the way that many fans hoped and predicted. there is tension in the air but they are all still making the most of the occasion. if we lose today, we are out. got to win, must win. i'm still rooting for wales, i still think they can do it, and i am optimistic they will get out of the groups. just turn it up, 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. and enjoy what may on tuesday be their last game of a first world cup appearance since 1958.

tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. the hosts qatar were eliminated from the competition today. they were beaten 3—1 by senegal this afternoon, having also lost their opening game. it's the earliest a host nation has ever been knocked out of the world cup. with more on that, and the england and wales games, our sports editor dan roan joins us live from qatar. put today's results in context for us for the home nations.- us for the home nations. clive, encland us for the home nations. clive, england came _ us for the home nations. clive, england came into _ us for the home nations. clive, england came into tonight's . us for the home nations. clive, . england came into tonight's match full of confidence after one of the biggest ever world cup wins but this felt like a reality check for gareth southgate's side. if you thought england against wales tuesday southgate's side. if you thought england against we no tuesday knockout of

nurses in england, wales and northern ireland are to stage their biggest walk—out in the history of the nhs. the dispute is over pay, and the strikes will be for 12 hours on 15th and 20th december. the royal college of nursing says its members "have had enough of being taken for granted". routine services will be hit, but emergency care will continue. our health editor, hugh pym, has the latest. 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. london fire brigade is "institutionally misogynist and racist", according to a damning

review into its culture. the report warned that the organisation "needs to do more to protect its own people", after uncovering a string of incidents in the workplace. our news correspondent sanchia berg is here. what more does the report say snp i have spokathon evening to the author of the report, who was you might remember the chief crown prosecute propertyer, the report was commissioned after a young black firefighter took hiss life and i was told he and the team had been shocked by the extent of what they found, and the nature of it, just a couple of examples, for example, a noose was left above the locker of a black firefighter, a female firefighter had important, explicit material directed to her phone so there were many examples of misogyny, of bullying, of racism, and they said if nothing was done to

tackle this toxic culture, then other firefighters could take their own lives, so, the commissioner of the london fire brigade had apologised, in response to this report, and he said that he will accept all its 23 recommendations in full. thank you. the investigation into allegations of bullying against the deputy prime minister, dominic raab, has been asked to include a third formal complaint. it relates to mr raab's time at the department for exiting the european union. he denies the allegations, saying he's behaved professionally at all times. an ex—british soldier has been found guilty of shooting dead a man in northern ireland 3a years ago, as he travelled to a football match. the former grenadier guardsman, david holden, who's now 53, was convicted of manslaughter, for opening fire on aidan mcanespie at a border crossing. he's the first veteran to be convicted of an historical offence in northern ireland since the good friday agreement and

will be sentenced in the new year. our ireland correspondent, emma vardy, has more. former soldier david holden, seen here in the facemask, was 18 at the time of the shooting. he'd 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, aidan mcanespie 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 3a 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 everyone here would encourage, all the families, do not give up hope. there's still around 1,000 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 america say they've made a major breakthrough in designing a vaccine against all known strains of flu. 0ur medical editor, fergus walsh, is here. we are locked in a perpetual war against the constantly changing flu virus. every year scientists have to make 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. now, scientists in the united states have 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 half a million deaths worldwide —

previous flu pandemics 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. the same mrna technology — holds promise in many otherfields, including developing treatment vaccines for cancer. fergus walsh there. let's take a look at some of the other top stories. a woman with down's syndrome has lost her challenge to the law, that allows the abortion of foetuses with the condition up until birth. heidi crowter had argued it was discriminatory, and stigmatised disabled people. however, judges at the court of appeal said the abortion act didn't interfere with the rights of those they called "the living disabled." the mayor of london, sadiq khan,

says he's expanding the capital's low emissions vehicles zone, the ulez, to cover the whole of the capital from next summer. it's estimated 200,000 cars and vans currently on the road will be liable for the £12.50 daily charge. after public consultation, it was found a majority of people, opposed the expansion. teachers in scotland will strike for another 16 days, in their dispute over pay. the largest teaching union, the eis says the consecutive days of action across country, will take place injanuary and february next year. strike action yesterday, closed nearly every primary and secondary school in scotland, and many council nurseries. 0rganisations working to help victims of stalking have begun what's called a "super complaint" againt the police in england and wales, accusing them of not doing enough to investigate potential crimes. the home office says it takes stalking extremely seriously, but a decade after it was made a specific criminal offence, people

living in fear of their stalkers, say more needs to be done. anjana gadgil has that story. 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.

agatha christie's murder—mystery play, the mousetrap, celebrated an incredible 70 years in london's west end tonight. it's the world's longest—running theatre production, first breaking records in 1957, when it was just five years old. a year later brought similar headlines, and still audiences kept coming. and the show is now off to broadway — for the first time. 0ur entertainment correspondent, david sillito, reports. good afternoon. welcome to today's performance of the mousetrap. agatha christie's the mousetrap. and today's performance, number 28,915 — a special anniversary reunion for former cast members. this is more than a play, it's a must—see on the

london tourist trail. they got out their map and everything, and they were saying, "what shall we do? we must see buckingham palace, we must see the tower of london, we must see the mousetrap." and you just thought, "there you are." backstage, little has changed. this, the wind machine. this is the original from 1952? the originalfrom 1952, the original production. and to make it really wintry, actors step into the snow room. but what makes it remarkable is the history. it was setting records even in the �*50s. do you think it's the best play you've written? i don't know. other people seem to, anyway! and since then, it's been a fixture on the west end, with one veteran involved from day one — agatha christie's grandson. it's a very important moment, but one thing i will tell you about this anniversary, it will not be the last. and to mark this moment, it's finally going to have an appearance on broadway. each summer, we have thousands

of american tourists coming to the show during the summer season, and i think it's time we got on the front foot and took it there. and part of the mystique is this is there's never been a film of it. there are film rights, but they came with a clause — they had to wait until the london production closed. 70 years on, they're still waiting. david sillito, bbc news, in london's west end. time for a look at the weather, here's alina jenkins. . hello. after a tush 11 week of weather many have had a quieter day and a moment of calm across north east scotland this evening, with a glimpse of the aurora in the background, for many it is quiet and calm, we keep showers going across the north and west of scotland, blustery too but for many a mixture of varable cloud but the cloud will be building from the west ahead of this band of rain which most will see through tomorrow. temperatures

typically in a range from four to eight celsius but across parts of east
