this is bbc news. i'm ben boulos. the headlines. anti—government protests in china against strict covid restrictions are spreading, with some demonstrators calling for the country's leader, president xi, to go. with rail workers and nurses among the public sector workers voting to take strike action in the run—up to christmas, politicians are coming under pressure to promise pay deals which match the cost of living. energy suppliers are being asked by the business secretary to make sure direct debit payments reflect customers�* actual energy use and don't become inflated when people are cutting back on gas or electricity. too many people in the uk are being let down at the end of their lives by inadequate out—of—hours palliative care support, according to the charity marie curie.

and in football, morocco stun belgium, beating the second—ranked team in the world 2—0 at the world cup in qatar. good evening. including calls for president xijinping to resign, amid public anger over continuing and stringent covid restrictions. after china's �*zero—covid' policy was blamed for people not being able to get out of a burning building, there were protests on the streets in western china, on student campuses, and in major cities like nanjing, shanghai, and beijing. our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell, reports from there. it's not unusual to see acts of defiance in china,

but this was something different. a crowd of protesters in shanghai chanted, calling for the country's leader xijinping to stand down and for the communist party to give up power. a fire which killed ten residents in changsha last week has prompted widespread anger in china. officially, china's goal is to return each outbreak to zero new infections using strict stay at home orders, travel restrictions and mass testing. entire cities are still being locked down. the government says easing the policy would lead to this is a significant death toll, but it has been criticised for not groups, and not increasing hospital capacity. there's also still no stated plan to open up, even at some time in the future. a fire which killed ten residents in xinjiang last week has prompted widespread anger in china. zero—covid restrictions have been blamed for hampering people's escape

and slowing the access for fire crews. whether this is true or not, it sparked waves of protests in the regional capital, urumqi. this has now spread to other cities and university campuses, as spontaneous memorial services for those who died in the fire have transformed into demonstrations calling for an end to lockdowns. people are also blaming xi jinping personally for not changing the zero—covid approach, which is forcing business after business to shut down. protests have been building in china all year, with people here increasingly sick of zero—covid restrictions. the government seems to have drastically underestimated popular discontent, yet, for the moment, has no easy way out of the zero—covid out of the zero—covid corner it's painted itself into. stephen mcdonnell,

bbc news, beijing. andrew chubb specialises in chinese politics and international relations at lancaster university. i think the most dramatic protests, of course, for a political point of view are the ones in shanghai, that your reporter has outlined there. there are calls for xi jinping to stand down, and other anti—government slogans being chanted. but i think a lot of the protests in other places around china have have basically involved other issues as well. as mentioned, the horrific fire in urumqi which triggered the protests there, and even further back, stephen's report mentioned it was building up for a while.

ten days ago, we had large movements in guangzhou, where people are pushing down in where people are pushing down the lockdown barriers, and i think it would be a long bow to draw to say that it was a nationwide anti—government protest. it seems mainly to be in the shanghai case, which is a very particular corner of china. what makes these different than protests we've seen before against zero—covid restrictions? i think it's very much the scale and the nationwide coverage of the protests this time. the discontent has certainly been building up, particularly since, not coincidentally, the very long lockdown in shanghai from april this year. so, i think it's very much about the scale and the relatively simultaneous, if notjoined—up nature of some of these protests across very different geographies in china, including the xinjiang region.

how do you expect the chinese communist party to respond to this? that's an interesting question. we've seen the authorities in urumqi, where the mourning and anti—lockdown protests broke out last week. and anti—lockdown protests broke out last week, issue an apology, some kind of self—criticism perhaps some kind of self—criticism perhaps could be coming in those particular places, where officials could be held responsible, but it's always very difficult to predict chinese politics, but my money would be on a clampdown rather than further concessions. the situation is probably going to get uglier before it gets better. just want to take you to this scene

why don't mike live in beijing, where some of the anti—lockdown protests are taking place —— a scene in beijing. can't quite make out what written on those placards, those signs, but it's notjust in beijing. they have also been demonstrating in universities in nanjing and where the incident sparked these protects in urumqi. there was a feeling of anger that these rules confining people to their homes had perhaps hampered firefighters�* efforts and stops people from escaping the fire in that block of flats. shanghai, thousands of protesters turned up.

some people are seen being bundled into police cars. the thing that makes these so significant and so different is that part of the demonstrations, there have been people chanting," xi jinping, demonstrations, there have been people chanting," xijinping, step down." some also think communist party, sat down. that sign i mentioned a moment ago, some people have been holding blank signs. —— a step down. presumably as a way of getting around the limits on what they can call for, what they can say, holding up blank white banners, blank placards. some have been lighting candles, and laying flowers in memory of the victims in urumqi where that block of flats caught fire and ten people died. but these demands for a chinese leader to step down, very, very unusual. any direct

criticism of the government can result in harsh penalties, so these people are taking enormous risks. there is greater satisfaction with the zero covid strategy that beijing has been pursuing, and they seem to be persisting without a record —— despite a record number of infections of covid in china. this is despite the government pursuing and adhering to its strategy of zero covid, and that entails harsh restrictions, even secondary contacts of someone in a factory can result in the whole building being locked down. clearly now, we are seeing people angry about that and protesting against it, calling for an end to that, and these pictures we�*re seeing, i must say these seem

largely peaceful. there�*s a line of police there, and there doesn�*t seem to be any unrest or disturbance. but the protests do seem to be widespread. it is notjust in beijing, but also in shanghai. some of them are holding blank white sheets of paper, a symbolic protest against what they see as censorship and their freedom to call for the president and the communist party to 90, president and the communist party to go, which some of them are doing. of course, at great risk to themselves and their families. course, at great risk to themselves and theirfamilies. we course, at great risk to themselves and their families. we will keep across any developments on those protests in china and keep you updated right here on bbc news. the time now is ten past five, and... here, the transport secretary has been talking about the industrial dispute on the railways, which has led to more strikes scheduled for next month.

mark harper said there had to be reforms to the rail system to free up money for a pay offer for workers, and warned there wasn�*t a "bottomless pit" of taxpayers money to throw at the problem. here�*s our political correspondent, helen catt. there have been repeated walk—outs on the railways for months. just yesterday, it was the drivers out on a day—long strike. guards and signallers are among the staff who will hold another series of walk—outs, this time for 48 hours each time, in december and january. this morning, the transport secretary, mark harper, said he wanted to see the dispute resolved, but he insisted a deal on pay must be funded by reaching agreement on changes to working practices. train operating companies and network rail will have the ability to reach a deal, but we have to be able to have that reform package negotiated, because it�*s only that that throws up the savings. i do not have a bottomless pit of taxpayers�* money to throw at this problem. the rmt union�*s general secretary, mick lynch, met with mr harper earlier this week in what�*s being seen as a more conciliatory

approach from the government, in tone at least. but unions still want assurances that ministers aren�*t pulling the strings. they don't know whether the companies have authority, have been empowered to genuinely, in good faith negotiate a deal, so what we are hoping for from mark harper is a letter so what we're hoping for from mark harper is a letter to the unions setting that out and being clear — not just about facilitating the deal, but what the government's role in settling it is. labour has said it wants to see people paid fairly, but it has not said it would commit to inflation—matching pay increases if it was in government. you're asking me to commit to a specific number- without having been invited into the negotiations - and seeing the books. what i can tell you is that we think it's unconscionable that nurses - and rail workers who went out and kept this country moving i during a pandemic are not being paid enough to put food on the table. - next month will also see nurses go on strike in england,

wales and northern ireland, as a winter of more industrial action looms. helen catt, bbc news. energy suppliers are being asked by the business secretary to make sure direct debit payments reflect customers�* actual energy use and don�*t become inflated when people are cutting back on gas or electricity. earlier, i spoke to our business correspondent noor nanji and asked her what the background was to this letter. lots of us have been making efforts to cut back our energy use, but despite this there have been reports of people finding that their direct debits are still soaring. now, grant shapps said that those reports were disturbing, he said people�*s bills should accurately reflect their use. ofgem did already conduct a review into all of this earlier this year, and we have reached out to suppliers to ask what action has been taken since then. there are a couple of things worth noting. firstly, energy bills have gone up, so even if you have been making efforts to reduce your use, the fact remains that energy bills on average this year are a lot higher than they were this time last year.

secondly, it has been quite a mild winterfar, so it�*s possible, because of the way in which direct debits are calculated, they were factoring in colder weather into those calculations, so that could be another factor here. it is worth saying that you do have a right to challenge your direct debit, so if you do find you�*re paying too much, or you think you are, you should speak to your supplier. has been any reaction to all of this? yeah, just now, we�*ve had a response from one of the suppliers, from one of the suppliers. we�*ve been following up with them to see what action has been taken. so, octopus energy, their ceo, their chief executive, has written a letter back to grant shapps, and he said he was pleased to see mr shapps�* interest in this matter given it�*s such matter of high importance for customers. he said the setting of direct debit is complex, particularly given the government help that�*s been rolled out for customers, so, taking that into

consideration as well. and he says that he thinks there�*s room for the whole energy industry to improve on this, and he has outlined various ways in his letter that he thinks they can do that. an ofgem spokesperson, meanwhile, has also been in touch to say they think suppliers should do everything they can to support customers at this time, and they recognise the significant worry and concern that increased direct debits can cause. the spokesperson added that they had carried out this review that i mentioned earlier this year and they will continue to work with the government and suppliers on this, and will not hesitate to take further action if they see fit. police in london have said the fatal stabbings of two 16—year—old boys — just a mile apart — are linked. kearne solanke and charlie bartolo were found yesterday afternoon with stab wounds and murder investigations are under way. simonjones reports. flowers to mark a life loss. just after five o�*clock yesterday evening, evening, he wasjusti6,

but croatia hit back with two before halftime — marko livaja with the second on the edge of the penalty area before the break. this is still under way. we�*rejust into the second half. you can watch this live on bbc one right now as canada fight back. well, as things stand, it�*s morocco who top that group after they beat belgium 2—0. their first victory since 1998. they took the lead in the second half through abdelhamid sabiri�*s free kick which somehow managed to squeeze past thibaut courtois in the belgian goal. zakaria aboukhlal then made it two in stoppage time. the result means morocco move above belgium to the top of group f on four points, a difficult result because

obviously, the first goal affected a lot of the outcome. difficult situation at that point. we couldn�*t get our game going, and that�*s what happens in the world cup. and costa rica have beatenjapan 1—0 to keep their hopes of qualification in the next round alive. after beating germany in their opener, many expected japan to easily claim another three points. but keysher fuller�*s late goal earned costa rica a smash—and—grab victory — which makes this group even more interesting, as germany play spain in the late kick—off. now, away from today�*s games, england and wales have both trained today ahead of their final group matches on tuesday. england are virtually guaranteed a place in the last 16, but wales�*s hopes are hanging by a thread after their defeat to iran last week.

to qualify, wales must beat england and hope for a draw between the united states and iran. if the usa—iran match doesn�*t end in a draw, wales must beat england by four goals to reach the knockout stage. ben davies and joe allen are both confident in their sides chance of qualifying. we're a team that's kept high standards for ourselves, and that's the reason — standards for ourselves, and that's the reason why we've got to where we are now _ the reason why we've got to where we are now. that's the reason why we're critical _ are now. that's the reason why we're critical of _ are now. that's the reason why we're critical of the — are now. that's the reason why we're critical of the last results. it's only— critical of the last results. it's only because of the bar that we set ourselves, — only because of the bar that we set ourselves, so we know we can play a lot better _ ourselves, so we know we can play a lot better and we hope to do that in the next _ lot better and we hope to do that in the next game. in the england camp, striker marcus rashford has said that while the team are still disappointed with their goalless draw with the usa, they are determined not to let that result define their tournament. we're obviously not happy with the results _ we're obviously not happy with the results i_ we're obviously not happy with the results. ithink—

we�*ve still got some rain in the forecast. this is where it�*s been falling in the past few hours, this band of rain has been very slow to clear from east anglia and south—east england. we�*ve still got more showers piling into many western areas, still a thundery element, perhaps, across parts of north—west scotland, and we will keep those showers in the west as we go through tonight. that rain eventually clearing away from east anglia and south—east england. in between, some clearer skies, but with lighter winds, that can mean some fog, particularly across north—east england. a cooler night than recently, could see the odd pocket of frost across parts of north—east scotland, maybe north—east england, too, where the skies stay clear. now, that fog could linger across north—east england for a good part of the day tomorrow. for many places, a lot of sunshine around, although there will be showers developing, particularly wales, south—west england, southern coastal counties and the channel islands, and temperatures down a little compared to the weekend. 8—12 celsius typically, by the week ahead is looking much drier. lighter winds, though, will mean some lingering fog through a good part of the day in places, turning colder, too. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines:
