hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. our top story this morning — england remain top of their group at the world cup in qatar, despite a disappointing goalless draw against the usa. the result means an england victory — or draw — in their next match against wales will see them go through to the last 16. i'm joined by our sports correspondent, john watson, who is in doha. and a pretty dreary, drab performance by england, which didn't thrill theirfans, to say performance by england, which didn't thrill their fans, to say the least? know, that's right, ben. hello from doha. i think they will be pretty disappointed fault with the performance, but the result certainly isn't terminal for england, they still stand a chance

of progressing from the group. yes, they will be disappointed that they have not managed to do so with a game to spare, they could have been the first nation to qualify for the knockout stages with a game to spare at this world cup, but unable to do so with that draw against the united states, the only real chance falling to mason mount and harry kane late on in that match. disappointment as well for wales with that disappointing loss to iran yesterday. it looked as though it was heading for a draw, which would have been a very valuable point for them in their bid to progress to the knockout stages, but that defeat means they will now have to beat england by at least four goals in theirfinal england by at least four goals in their final group match to come next tuesday. a lot of pressure, but a huge amount riding on it, for both england and wales, riding into that final group game. we can get the perspective from the fans out here in doha at the moment, we can speak to billy grant, who runs the beesotted brentford pod cast. hello to you. disappointing, i guess, as

beesotted brentford pod cast, great to speak to our bbc news, thanks for that. worth pointing out, as far as england are concerned, we know that france when they won the trophy back four years ago in russia, they actually drew one of their group games, the same happened to germany as well for years before that and england when they won the world cup backin england when they won the world cup back in 1966 they drew what is their group games as well, so itjust offers up a bit of perspective as far as where england are placed, despite that disappointing performance yesterday. john, many thanks indeed. _ performance yesterday. john, many thanks indeed. john _ performance yesterday. john, many thanks indeed. john watson - performance yesterday. john, many thanks indeed. john watson with i performance yesterday. john, many | thanks indeed. john watson with the very latest on the world cup from doha. social media footage from china appears to show residents of the western city of urumqi protesting against covid restrictions, after a fire in a block of flats killed ten people. demonstrators are seen arguing with officials, chanting "lift the covid lockdown", and breaking through barriers. there was an eruption of anger online in china following the deadly blaze, with some questioning whether pandemic restrictions prevented residents

from escaping or hampered fire—fighting efforts. urumqi, in xinjiang province, is home to many uighur muslims. it's been under stringent coronavirus measures for three months as beijing continues its zero covid policy, despite record daily infections. our correspondent, katie silver, is following this story from singapore. the fire broke out on the 15th floor of this apartment building on thursday night. we understand to authorities about three hours to put it out and according to state media, ten people died from it and nine were injured. this deadly blaze has then attracted attention on social media, making many complain and question his ongoing commitment to zero covid. some residents telling the bbc that they question whether or not these people were able to leave the building and many for example relying on chats from the government to give themselves

security that they were able to leave. now we have seen videos of murdoch tick—tock, as well as weibo, which is china's equivalent of twitter, showing people coming up against officials and hazmat suits, screaming out, lift the lockdown, as well as hitting drums. all of this comes about is the fact that china was the first into this pandemic and it seems like it is going to be the last out. it has now been almost three years that people are faced lockdown pressures, quarantines, as three years that people are faced lock as in pressures, quarantines, as three years that people are faced lock as in pres to es, quarantines, as three years that people are faced lock as in pres to dealjuarantines, as three years that people are faced lock downs, as to dealjuara snap ;, as three years that people are faced lock downs, so o dealjuara snap;, as three years that people are faced lock downs, so what ljuara snap ;, as three years that people are faced loc instance so what ljuara snap sfas three years that people are faced loc instance on what ljuara snapsfas three years that people are faced loc instance on that: ljuara snapsfas three years that people are faced loc instance on that front, snap sfas for instance on that front, particularly when to the particularly when it has come to the world cup, people have seen that is triggering, they have world cup. people have seen that is triggering. they have seen world cup, people have seen that is triggering, they have seen videos of people online out and about in crowds with no masks on. on friday we saw the third day in a row of consecutive daily cases hitting about 35000 and that is small in a population of 1.4 billion, but the restrictions are immense. katie reporting there. to ukraine silver reporting there. to ukraine now. ukraine's president,

volodymyr zelensky, says 6 million ukrainian households are still without power, after more missile strikes hit the country this week. but many have been left without light, water or heat as winter sets in. our correspondent in kyiv — jessica parker — told us what it is like for people living in ukraine without power and water at the moment. well, if you think about it, if you lost power on wednesday night after those missile attacks, it is now saturday morning and i don't know what you can see at the moment, but there is snow now falling here, it is about1 degree, but of course temperatures will keep getting colder as we head to december and as you were saying there, for millions of people they might still be waking up with no electricity, so they can't turn the lights on, no heat, so their homes will be very cold and maybe even no running water as well. it is extremely difficult conditions and if you think as well about young families, maybe elderly people living on their own... but they are trying

to set up these so—called points of invincibility, the government and local authorities, a place to sit, maybe you will be able to charge your is russia could keep striking infrastructure through winter, so you could keep seeing more of these blackouts and therefore these kinds of shelters will be increasingly important for millions of ukrainians. jessica parker in kyiv. here in uk... train passengers face more disruption to journeys this morning, as thousands of staff in the aslef union go on strike in a dispute over pay. the government says it's

disappointing and will ruin millions of people's weekend plans. 11 train companies are affected. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. another strike and more disruption for passengers. with the train strike and there's no trains from hungerford to reading. so it is a 2.5 hour bus ride. it is understandable, but inconvenient, i would rather have it resolved quickly. this time it is train drivers walking out. their union says members still haven't been offered a pay rise and the government needs to help resolve the dispute. we don't want other workers suffering, we don't want the general public suffering going forward, but the only way we have got at this moment in time to reinforce our needs, other people's needs is to take the action we are taking. i would like to say we are closer to resolving

the dispute, but the original reason for the dispute still exists. some of the operators affected will run no trains at all, while others will only have limited services. it means thousands of people are going to have to rethink their travel plans, but aslef believes it has strong support from the public. the rail industry says passenger numbers and revenue have not recovered after covid, so changes to working practices must be agreed to fund higher pay. we are in negotiations and making reasonably good process, still a long way to go, but the fact that we are in negotiations and are discussing things, that is why we have asked aslef not to be calling strike action during this period. we are trying to work with them to get towards a pay offer. this is the latest in a long string of rail strikes that looks set to continue into the winter. earlier this week the rmt union announced a fresh wave of strikes by its members in december and january. aslef is ballotting its members for further action, but its leader is due to meet the transport secretary, mark harper, next week, who has already met the rmt�*s mick lynch. the government said the dispute was harming the economy

and the future of the railway depended on unions working with employers to agree a new way forward. katy austin, bbc news. our business reporter, noor nanji, joins us from london's euston rail station. what is the picture there at the moment? ., ., ., , ., moment? here at london euston, the station is open — moment? here at london euston, the station is open and _ moment? here at london euston, the station is open and that _ moment? here at london euston, the station is open and that is _ moment? here at london euston, the station is open and that is because - station is open and that is because the tube is still running and there are still services as well on the london overground. strike action had been expected there as well, but that was suspended as union members are considering a new pay offer. but all other rail services here have been heavily disrupted here. as you can see behind me, there are representatives from aslef, the train drivers union who are behind the strikes, and as a result of all this, it is very quiet in the station today, compared to what you would normally expect at this time on a saturday morning and don't forget, this is a very big retail weekend as well, a big weekend for

shopping because it is the black friday sales, normally you would expect people to be heading into london for those sales and does of course the world cup as well, so people might be trying to get together with friends and family to watch those games. around the country as well, people have been told to expect disruption if they are travelling to major sporting events and also to the opening of christmas markets in different parts of the country, including in bath, where there are a restricted railway services there as well, fans heading to twickenham to see england take on south africa have also been told to avoid taking trains or to expect some disruption. this is a 24—hour strike, but we have been told there could be some knock—on disruption into sunday, so as ever, the advice remains to check before you travel. noor nanji, thank you very much indeed, noor nanji therefore set london euston station. a damning report into the london fire brigade has found it to be "institutionally misogynist and racist", with multiple cases of bullying targeting ethnic

minorities and women. the independent review was ordered after a trainee firefighter took his own life two years ago — his family raised concerns that he'd been bullied because of his race. helena wilkinson reports. misogyny, racism, bullying. a shocking culture which has been uncovered at the london fire brigade. example after example of abuse and poor behaviour at almost all levels of the organisation. i sat with a very senior female officer who said to me in tears, that whenever she goes into a dangerous incident, she is always thinking, "will the men around me protect me, given how much they have treated me as dirt back at the station?" that was not one person, that was many people. other incidents at the london fire brigade include...

and women being sexually taunted. the report said the behaviour of some brigade staff left a clear trial of psychological harm. trail of psychological harm. this report has to be a watershed moment when we get rid of the institutional racism, homophobia and discrimination that exists in our fire services. it's possible to say, we have some wonderful firefighters, we saw that during the summer when they dealt with wildfires in our city because of the heat waves. but serious problems in the fire brigade. the brigade's commissioner, andy roe, said he was deeply sorry for the harm that had been caused. going forward, he said, it would be completely clear to staff what behaviour was not acceptable, and what the consequences would be. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

now, andy roe, the london fire brigade's commisioner — who had asked for the review after a trainee firefighter took his own life in august 2020 — spoke to the bbc earlier this morning — he said he hoped it would enable change. the thing that strikes home to me with this report is that 2000, 2000 of our staff effectively wrote this report. it's not nazia's report, it is not my report, it is the report of 2000 people in the london fire brigade who have told their story and therefore it cannot be ignored, it cannotjust be put down to a few bad apples. we have got to look at the systems and the leadership that have enabled those most terrible examples to happen and not be dealt with, i don't think, in the way they should have been. i have seen the courage of firefighters again and again on the incident ground. i now expect this as an organisation to face up to it with that same courage. you know, to look in the mirror, to reflect on all of our own actions that make the changes necessary — and there will be changes, the change starts now. i asked for this report.

i knew it would be a hard moment. it is the first time we have done something like this at the london fire brigade, where we have opened ourselves up to really look at ourselves. i know it is a difficult moment. i know that many of my colleagues will be extremely disappointed reading this. but i think it is the right thing to do and i intend to lead the organisation through it. in terms of our response, when a member of the public calls 999, are they going to get a response that turns out in a way that is entirely equal and fair, regardless of who they are? yes, i am confident that we do that and that is the primary thing for me. but as i have said, it is small comfort when then my colleagues are returning to their workplace and they face such terrible behaviour and have such a poor experience of working in the london fire brigade. thousands of people are expected to gather today in pakistan's garrison city of rawalpindi, near islamabad, for a rally called by the former prime minister, imran khan. it's the first protest march he'll

attend since being shot three weeks ago in what his allies have called an assassination attempt. mr khan, who was ousted in a confidence vote in april, is demanding the government calls early elections. our reporter samira hussian has more from faizabad. just to give you a sort of sense of where i am, rawalpindi and islamabad are what they call twin cities. rawalpindi is in the province of punjab, where imran khan enjoys quite a lot of support. in islamabad, the capital, of course, that is governed by the federal government, who is very much at odds with mr khan and his entire political party and the movement. so what is happening right now is that you can see there is already some road blocks happening and all along this road, people are being forced to walk towards where mr khan is going to be addressing the supporters. now, as you rightly pointed out, we have not heard from him in person, in the flesh, at one of these rallies since he was shot earlier this month, and so they are expecting quite

a lot of people to gather. exactly when that will happen, however, is a bit of a question. samira hussain reporting there. the left—wing president of peru, pedro castillo, has appointed his fifth prime minister since taking office injuly last year, as a bitter dispute with the opposition—controlled congress continues. betssy chavez, a young lawyer and former culture minister, replaces anibal torres. president castillo, a former primary school teacher and union leader, has accused congress of blocking proposals aimed at tackling poverty and social inequality. an agreement has been reached at a global conservation summit in panama to reduce the trade in shark fins. environmental groups say tens of millions of sharks are killed every yearfor theirfins — a market estimated to be worth half a billion dollars annually. so how big a deal is this regarding the conservation of sharks? here's the shark expert and wildlife

presenter, austin gallagher. this is huge. this is a really big win for sharks on the international level. the international community has spoken and this is, you know, going to ensure a much better future for dozens of shark species. it is a multilateral treaty of around 180 member nations around the world coming together to say, "we're going to put this species that we think are threatened with extinction on this list and essentially we will better regulate their trade," so it sort of holds countries accountable and basically helps us understand whether or not things are sustainable or not, so we can either relax or tighten restrictions, so it should in theory help many species recover down the line. when there is trade in valuable species — sharks are very valuable, you know, their fins are highly prized. like you said earlier, $500 million a year industry and there is no regulation that itjust really incentivises bad behaviour in black markets and things like that and that's why so many shark species are a plummeting population around the world.

so a step in the right direction and, you know, i really applaud all the countries that supported these proposals. in australia, two and a half thousand naked volunteers have posed on sydney's bondi beach for an artwork designed to raise awareness of skin cancer. it's the latest project of the american photographer, spencer tunick. from sydney, phil mercer reports. bondi beach has never looked like this. 2,500 volunteers braved the early morning chill and intermittent rain in sydney for spencer tunick�*s latest art project. clothes and inhibitions were discarded. at dawn, the participants collectively embraced the sunrise, raising their arms towards the light. the photoshoot lasted about one hour. it is very cold in the morning as we were waiting on the beach from 3:30am. and it lightly rained, but then the skies cleared up and it was beautiful, so... the moment we stripped off,

i think the excitement and invigoration of being alive was there and didn't notice the cold too much. spencer tunick orchestrated his latest massive nude photo shoot from the top of a small crane with a megaphone. he was raising awareness about skin cancer. australia has some of the highest rates of the disease anywhere in the world. the american photographer brought together a legion of naked strangers in the name of art and health. we have an opportunity to raise awareness about skin checks and i am honoured to be invited by skin checks champions to come here, make my art and just celebrate the body and protection. legislation had to be changed to allow public nudity for the first time in sydney's famous arc of sand. soon the birthday suits were replaced by the usual tracksuits and wet suits

at bondi beach, but for the nude participants it was a day to savour. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. you're watching bbc news. the cost of living crisis has forced many people to make difficult decisions and parents of children who excel at sport are no different. it can be hugely expensive helping children to achieve their dreams, and with little or no financial help from sporting bodies, many are considering if they can continue to afford it at all. james burridge has been to meet the family of 16—year—old gymnast naana oppon, in milton keynes, to see what they're facing. she tumbles down a 25 metre track in less than four seconds. training five times a week with one goal. world championship gold. it would mean the absolute world to me. all
