story of found most interesting, i don't know about you — explain to us what the background is to this? this is din tlnt what the background is to this? ti 3 is digging into a very interesting, quite sad feature of the care system in this country, that there is a model where you have care homes supported by charities in council funding, and you have these charities which come to a point saying they are being forced to evict people from their homes, because they don't feel enough council funding because they don't feel enough councilfunding is being put into provide an adequate quality care for those residents. so they say the councils should be putting more in— and you get these terrible situations for residents who have no certainty of what'll happen to them, it's very distressing, there is mental health problems and so on, and this storyjust points out how this is increasingly happening because councils aren't willing to

quote from them in this article, it may be further down, the charity hasn't got its right to reply with us — but men cap said it's a slightly different situation, they can't evict people and then chose not to do it. but they are subsidising one in five of the people they support, subsidising to the charity. from a charity point of view that's not sustainable, is it? no it's not. having read further into the article, leonard cheshire say they would only evict if there is alternative places for them to 90, is alternative places for them to go, but there's still of having to move. :, �* , go, but there's still of having to move. . �* . . go, but there's still of having to move. . �*, ., ., move. that's an important clarification, _ move. that's an important clarification, i'm _ move. that's an important clarification, i'm glad - move. that's an important clarification, i'm glad you | move. that's an important i clarification, i'm glad you put move. that's an important - clarification, i'm glad you put that in. but the general point is — it's interesting, i talk to someone who worked at the care centre, they said that the reality is at care homes, if you pay for yourself or your loved ones, you are subsidising other patients because the local authorities are not paying the cost,
11:44 pm
even though they are paying it, but they can't afford it because it would virtually wipe out many of their budgets, and there are limited amounts that how much they are allowed to raise, a 3% cap to 5% unless they hold a referendum first. it's a really difficult dilemma. as you were saying, it's almost as if the state provision has gone backwards. the state provision has gone backwards— the state provision has gone backwards. :, ., backwards. johnson came out and said he had a massive _ backwards. johnson came out and said he had a massive plan _ backwards. johnson came out and said he had a massive plan and _ backwards. johnson came out and said he had a massive plan and it _ backwards. johnson came out and said he had a massive plan and it was - he had a massive plan and it was putting _ he had a massive plan and it was putting an — he had a massive plan and it was putting an eye out. the money is never— putting an eye out. the money is never funnelled into the place you wanted _ never funnelled into the place you wanted to — never funnelled into the place you wanted to be funnelled to with your taxes _ wanted to be funnelled to with your taxes. public services are just an estate _ taxes. public services are just an estate. every single section of british— estate. every single section of british society at the moment has a crisis _ british society at the moment has a crisis in _ british society at the moment has a crisis in front of it. there's so much — crisis in front of it. there's so much leading up to this, and you can't _ much leading up to this, and you can'tjust— much leading up to this, and you can'tjust keep saying it's the pandemic in ukraine. it's a decade of underfunding public services,

have your company this evening. and thank you for yours at home. the papers will be back again tomorrow evening with benjamin butterworth from the i newspaper, and the author and journalist emma woolf. dojoin us then if you can but for now, goodnight. i'll be back at the midnight hour, stay with us on bbc news. hello there, this is your update from the bbc sports centre. england missed the chance to seal qualification to the knockouts of the world cup, after a goalless draw with the united states. gareth southgate's side created few chances, and the performance didn't go down well with the fans — with boos heard at the final whistle. natalie pirks reports. the bedouin tent—inspired al bayt stadium was the destination.
11:51 pm
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,
11:52 pm
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 team—mates 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 blue line, 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, lack of urgency, terrible. really upset. we came here hoping for so much, and at least we didn't lose. we still know that the group's in our hands. i we're still top of the group. the same thing happened _
11:53 pm
at the euros, where we won the first game, drew the second, i and then we won the third going into the knockout stages, | so hopefully that's what we canj 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. the result still leaves england top of the group — but wales have a realjob on their hands to stay in the tournament. they were beaten by iran, in a chaotic finish to a game which saw their goalkeeper sent off and two stoppage—time goals. hywel griffith has more. wales have been waiting since 1958 for their first world cup win. many came to the stadium thinking this could be the day. lots of hope, some expectation even after they watched iran crumble against england. but this was a very different story. wales had to ride their luck. in the first half, what looked like an iranian goal, ruled out for offside. then in the second half, iran hitting both posts, and wayne hennessey
11:54 pm
having to scramble. he seemed to be the man who'd keep wales in it — until about ten minutes from the end, he took out an iranian player and was sent from the pitch. that really was the turning point — two very well—taken iranian goals, the final in the 98th minute, and devastating for wales and their captain, gareth bale. i don't think we played the best of games as a team in the first half. we gave them a bit too much time on the ball. but it's difficult, obviously we'll go back and look at the game and reflect on it in a day or so. but yeah, like i said, it'sjust disappointing at the moment, and it's hard to really look back and see what's gone on. so what next for wales? 0nly beating england next week can give them any chance of staying in this competition. otherwise, that 64—year wait, yes, will come to an end, but wales will be on the plane home. hywel griffith there. after less than a week of action, the hosts qatar are out. they were beaten by senegal.
11:55 pm
and courtesy of the other game in their group not going their way, they become the first—ever host nation to be eliminated after just two games. andy swiss was watching. they hoped to make history — but not like this. just two games in and curtains for qatar — the earliest exit ever by a world cup host. ranked 50th in the world with a squad who play entirely in their local league, this tournament was always going to be a challenge — but once again, they fell short. stumble there could be costly! boulaye dia putting senegal ahead after the most glaring of defensive errors. it soon got even worse for qatar when diedhiou made it 2—0, and that seemed to be that. but then finally, something for the home fans to savour. mohammed muntari with qatar's first—ever world cup goal — but the celebrations didn't last long, as senegal sealed a 3—1win
11:56 pm
to revive their hopes, and ultimately end qatar's. after years of build—up and months of training, all over in just six days. andy swiss, bbc news. and in that other group a game, the netherlands drew 1—1 with ecuador to offically seal qatar's exit. cody gakpo with the opener for the dutch, enner valencia equalised early in the second half for his third goal of the tournament. the result means the top three in that group are separated byjust one point, going into the final group of games. and that's all the sport for now. hello. after a turbulent week of weather, many of us had a much drier friday. and there's some dry weather at the end of this forecast, too — but before we get there, more rain to come through the weekend, particularly on saturday, some of it'll be heavy, most of us having a drier day on sunday.
11:57 pm
and that rain is all tied in with this atlantic system, gradually pushing its way eastwards through saturday, some of that rain is going to be heavy. also, notice the isobars are close together, so we'll see some gusty winds, especially for western areas. so this is how saturday shapes up — this band of rain gradually pushing north and eastwards, through southwest england, wales, northwest england, western scotland, northern ireland — though drier here through the afternoon, although still likely to see a few heavy showers. further east, less sunshine through the morning — in fact, east anglia, southeast england could stay dry for much of the day. northeast england, perhaps, too, but some gusty winds, especially for irish sea coasts and the western isles, those gusts perhaps reaching 45—50mph. but they're south or south—westerly winds, so mild airflooding across the uk, with highs of 11—14 celsius. now through saturday night, we see that band of rain continuing to push its way eastwards — again, some of that will be heavy, the strongest winds extending to eastern coasts. behind it, something clearer across many western areas, though a few showers starting to push in from the west. it will be a very mild night, with temperatures for some holding
11:58 pm
up to 10—11 celsius, and not much lower than 6—7 at their lowest. so, as we head into sunday, here's our frontal system — but notice how it's lingering very close to the southeast of england. so we'll keep a hang—back of cloud, and also potentially some outbreaks of rain across parts of southeast england, maybe east anglia, too, through the morning. behind it, for many, some good spells of sunshine, but further showers will be pushing into western areas, and those are likely become quite blustery again with some strong winds for irish sea coast. the winds should start to ease through the day across eastern areas. not quite as mild as it would have been on saturday, but temperatures still quite widely in double figures for most. and actually, for many, sunday looks to be the drier day of the weekend. and as we head into next week, we actually see this area of high pressure starting to take charge, and just keeping these frontal systems at bay for most of us. so as we move into next week, things are looking mostly dry — although there will be a lot of cloud around, could
