report from our correspondent natalie pirks. happy and focused. england's final training session before their first all british world cup match was a relaxed affair. they know a win, draw or narrow defeat would still see them through to the last 16, and wales are a familiar foe. vardy is in the area. dele alli! daniel sturridge! sturridge scores! the last time england and wales met in a major tournament was the 2016 euros. england won 2—1. wales went on to reach the semis. this time, it's very different. of course they are going to be fighting for their world cup lives. but i feel like there is added spice around the game. i feel like if we are fully focused on ourjob and what we need to do, then that shouldn't be an issue. we know it is going to be difficult, but they are going to be expecting a difficult game as well. we have shown we are a really good team in this tournament already, and for us now it is just about trying to take another step forward and trying to finish top of the group. team changes are expected by gareth southgate tonight,

with fans hoping to see a more positive approach than the goalless draw against america. we've got to beat them, haven't we? it's got to be two or three, hasn't it, at least? we've got foden, we've got the grealish... england! and i think, at the end of the day, what is going to make that difference is that bit of quality. i reckon it's got to be 3—1 england. it's got to be. on the beaches... # it's comiong home! # ..in the bars... ..and even the cruise ships, where some fans are staying... a lot of the england fans are starting to arrive on the deck. ..it is not only at home where things will come to a standstill. today, theirflags may fly happily side by side. tonight, though... come on, england! ..all bets are off. it's coming home! natalie pirks, bbc news, doha. you hear that a lot in doha, "it's coming home." what about the england team? my colleague has been with the

england team throughout and he joins me from outside the stadium. i know you have watched the team in training. any idea of team selection?— training. any idea of team selection? , . . ., , selection? we expect some changes this evening — selection? we expect some changes this evening for _ selection? we expect some changes this evening for england. _ selection? we expect some changes this evening for england. it's - selection? we expect some changes this evening for england. it's the - this evening for england. it's the third group game but gareth southgate, the manager, has given some indications that he will make a few changes and freshen the side up. there was criticism after that game against the usa because of the way the team played. there has been questions around england captain harry kane, whether he needs a rest and whether he will play but gareth southgate also said it would take a brave person to leave the england captain out, now he has said he is fit. in the match day —1 press conference when the manager and a player preview the match, liverpool captainjordan henderson was next to him, which indicates he will be starting. in training as well, it looks as though kieran trippier may move out to the left side and kyle walker could come in. he hasn't played for a few weeks at his club

side. there is a lot of build—up into this match, and expectation, and some fans have been giving it their thoughts ahead of what is going to be a massive, massive game. i think we need a reaction after the usa game, — i think we need a reaction after the usa game, southgate will get the team up— usa game, southgate will get the team up for it, it is a local derby and we — team up for it, it is a local derby and we need a win, pride is at stake. — and we need a win, pride is at stake. but _ and we need a win, pride is at stake, but it will be a tough game, wales_ stake, but it will be a tough game, wales will— stake, but it will be a tough game, wales will be up for it to wanting to send _ wales will be up for it to wanting to send england hope, so we will keep— to send england hope, so we will keep our— to send england hope, so we will keep our fingers crossed but hopefully we will get a win. i think the welsh can _ hopefully we will get a win. i think the welsh can always _ hopefully we will get a win. i think the welsh can always spring - hopefully we will get a win. i think the welsh can always spring a - the welsh can always spring a surprise — the welsh can always spring a surprise and _ the welsh can always spring a surprise and the _ the welsh can always spring a surprise and the fans - the welsh can always spring a surprise and the fans will- the welsh can always spring a surprise and the fans will be i the welsh can always spring ai surprise and the fans will be a really— surprise and the fans will be a really up _ surprise and the fans will be a really up for _ surprise and the fans will be a really up for it _ surprise and the fans will be a really up for it as _ surprise and the fans will be a really up for it as well. - surprise and the fans will be a really up for it as well. i- surprise and the fans will be a really up for it as well. i think| surprise and the fans will be a i really up for it as well. i think we have _ really up for it as well. i think we have to _ really up for it as well. i think we have to score _ really up for it as well. i think we have to score first, _ really up for it as well. i think we have to score first, i _ really up for it as well. i think we have to score first, i think- really up for it as well. i think we have to score first, i think we - have to score first, i think we really— have to score first, i think we really have _ have to score first, i think we really have to _ have to score first, i think we really have to score - have to score first, i think we really have to score first. - have to score first, i think we really have to score first. let's ho -e it really have to score first. let's hepe it will— really have to score first. let's hope it will be _ really have to score first. let's hope it will be better - really have to score first. let's hope it will be better than - really have to score first. let's hope it will be better than the | really have to score first— hope it will be better than the usa game, _ hope it will be better than the usa game, a _ hope it will be better than the usa game, a bit of a hope it will be better than the usa game, a bit ofa bore hope it will be better than the usa game, a bit of a bore draw that one. gareth— game, a bit of a bore draw that one. gareth southgate has to fire them up, gareth southgate has to fire them up. get _ gareth southgate has to fire them up, get some attacking play going and hopefully we get a couple of goals _ and hopefully we get a couple of goals irr— and hopefully we get a couple of goals in front by half—time and then put it— goals in front by half—time and then put it to _ goals in front by half—time and then put it to bed, and let the welsh get packing _ put it to bed, and let the welsh get packing on — put it to bed, and let the welsh get packing on the on their way back home, _ packing on the on their way back home, yes _ packing on the on their way back home, yes. | packing on the on their way back home. yes— packing on the on their way back home, es. .,, , , ., home, yes. i hope it is better than the last two _ home, yes. i hope it is better than the last two games. _ home, yes. i hope it is better than the last two games. i _ home, yes. i hope it is better than the last two games. i feel -

to claim their place, wales aren't ready to depart doha just yet. the dream ofjust coming to a world cup has been handed down through generations. for cathy and her grandchildren, it's still alive. we've pulled off a mission impossible before. i think we can certainly do it again. whether we can do it against england is another matter. we can hope for usa and iran to draw and for us to beat england 1—0, i would happy with that. we keep playing it back. we need to play it forward more. we do have a chance. we have a good chance if we try our best. it's a daunting task, wales simply have to win. but, seen, another way they have nothing to lose. a bit of perspective reminds us that this is a generation of welsh players which has achieved what no other is managed for over 64 years. since qualifying, wales's stars have shown only glimpses of what they can do at this world cup. now would be a very good time to force themselves to the foreground. we are under no illusions it is can be hard. but we are going be ready and give everything that we always do and there have few shocks already in the world cup and there is no reason why we can't do the same.

the last time the two teams met at a tournament, wales lost but were the side which went the furthest at the euros. their captain of 2016 says that spirit can be revived. i think the guys know they haven't performed as well as they would have liked to, so it's a massive stage and maybe one last crack at it to perform better than they have. someone in wales could write their name into welsh folklore history forever tonight. that would give these supporters something to dine out for decades to come. hywel griffith, bbc news, doha. i'm joined now by thomas wynne lewis, a sports reporter for north wales live and a wales supporter. he joins us now from st assaff in north wales. how would you describe the mood in wales ahead of the match? i’oe how would you describe the mood in wales ahead of the match?— wales ahead of the match? i've got to be completely _

also ijust think individuals just haven't performed to the best of their ability at the moment as well. but as i say, there is a lot of people are writing off the likes of gareth bale and aaron ramsey. that's not a very wise thing to do in my opinion. i think these guys have still got the quality, and they have shown that in the match is to get us qualified for this world cup. i certainly think we have enough quality on that field to get a result, and fingers crossed, the arrogance of the english might be their undoing. let's hope so! potentially do you think, thomas, they buckled under the pressure a bit? that's one of the theories that you hear hear. there is so much expectation on this team, all the travelling fans and the expectation expectation on this team, all the travelling far home, 1e expectation expectation on this team, all the travelling far home, and xpectation expectation on this team, all the travelling far much and xpectation expectation on this team, all the tra\ not ig far much afiaisggtation ' ' expectation on this team, all the tra\ not sure much afiaisggtation ' ' expectation on this team, all the tra\ not sure about afiaisggtation ' ' expectation on this team, all the tra\ not sure about afié“ i satatio'n ' ' expectation on this team, all the tra\ not sure about afié“ i certainly ' '

you forjoining us. one of the other big matches is iran versus usa today, the old foes meet in and all the political ramifications around that with the political protests in iran and calls for the iranian players to once again not perhaps sing the national anthem, so lots of expectation on that game as well, and we are also watching ecuador again cynical and also the netherlands playing the hosts qatar. there is a sense of disappointment in qatar that the hosts are not progressing, that their team could have done better but they have their last match coming up in a few hours' time so we will keep across that one for you. we will be talking to you through the afternoon. lucy hockings, thank you very much indeed, live from doha. we are going to bring you some breaking news coming to us here via the newsagency, a report that a blunder at a lab which led to thousands of positive covid—19 cases reported as negative could actually have led to

the deaths of 20 people, new estimates from the uk health security agency have alerted us to that. so a blunder at a lab which led to thousands of positive covid—19 cases which initially were reported as negative, actually led to the deaths of 20 different people, this coming to us via the newsagency. more on this as we get it. we don't know which laboratory that is. more as we get it. controversial measures which would have forced big tech companies to take down legal content, deemed as harmful by the government, have been scrapped from the online safety bill. some conservative mps argued the proposals jeopardised free speech, but critics, including the labour party and the samaritans, say dropping the plans, is a backward step. here's angus crawford. the online safety bill does complete... a bill tabled. we will be proceeding with the online safety... delayed.

well, can i thank my honourable... and amended. it's taken years, but will be back before parliament next week. legislative gridlock broken by a series of amendments. so what's in, and what's out? powers for ministers to define "legal but harmful" content dropped — satisfying free—speech advocates, infuriating labour. but now included — new criminal offences of encouraging self—harm, and sharing deep—fake pornography. better age verification for children. adult users given more power to block unwanted content. the whole point around this bill, fundamentally, is about protecting children. that's why that is why the first thing i did when i became secretary of state is defy what everybody said was impossible and actually strengthen this bill for children. we are going further when it comes to children. instead of going after the business models, the engagement algorithms and the way these companies work,

which means that people can be overexposed to abuse or suicide material, self—harm or disinformation and so on, they try to go down the take down content route. it was the case of molly russell, perhaps more than any other, that influenced the bill. she took her own life after being exposed to a stream of content about suicide, depression and self—harm. the coroner at her inquest singled out algorithms which relentlessly pushed harmful material. pleased by the bill's progress, ian russell, though, fears it's been weakened. don't see how you can see the removal of a whole clause as anything other than a watering down. the evidence that was presented to molly's inquest by the platforms that showed what molly had engaged with when she was online, that contributed to her death, as the coroner concluded at the end of the inquest, the content that she saw and engaged with, i think the most harmful content to her was content that could be

described as legal but harmful. ground—breaking but complex — a law that won't satisfy everyone, but may finally bring to an end the era of big tech regulating itself. angus crawford, bbc news. new figures show christians now account for less than half of the population of england and wales, for the first time in census history. the office for national statistics says 46.2%, described themselves as christian in 2021, a fall from 58% a decade ago. those who said they had no religion increased to 37.2%. while the number of people identifying as muslim, increased by 1.2 million. our midlands correspondent, navteonhal, reports now from leicester, which has also become one of the uk's first majority non—white cities.

is that your boyfriend? no! meet verna and her son, not boyfriend, bernard. she's 100 and he is 78. they arrived in leicester from antigua in 1960, part of the windrush generation. back then, racism was visible and constant presence in the city. if i seen a few white guys, i had to turn in the other direction because they will attack you. it was a common thing. and they are more social with black people now and so on and we all, i think we all get on ok. the latest census data shows that leicester is one of the first british cities where no ethnic group is in the majority. a1% of people here identify themselves as white, the lowest of any city in the uk. but bernard believes not enough

progress has been made to ensure all groups are treated equally. i'm happy to see leicester achieve but i'm not happy to see what we have achieved. you see, it is subtle now, the racism is more subtle now. in those days we could see it, we knew it was there. maz mashru is a world—renowned photographer. so what was tony blair like? but in 1972 he was forced to flee uganda when dictator idi amin ordered the country's asians to leave. many of them settled in leicester, helping to revive the city's fortunes. most of my good friends are muslims, sikhs, indians and we maintain that type of a tradition here. leicester is the most harmonious city in the whole of europe. demi is a dance teacher, born and raised in leicester by black caribbean and white british parents. she says her mixed heritage makes her extra proud of the city's new status.

there is just so many different cultures, it allows you to not only be educated in that culture but also, like, experience and understand how they live, how they eat. a few months ago, groups of young hindu and muslim men clashed in leicester, leading to dozens of arrests and plenty of questions about harmony among different groups. and yet, for these proud leicester folk, that disorder is something they believe doesn't reflect the city as a whole or its future. ifeel privileged being in a city that holds so much diversity and inclusivity as well. navteonhal, bbc news, leicester. the chinese ambassador to the uk has been summoned to the foreign office, following the arrest of a bbc journalist in shanghai. ed lawrence, was beaten and kicked by police, before being held for several hours. chinese officials claim he was detained, as a precaution against being infected with covid by demonstrators, protesting lockdown laws.

our diplomatic correspondent, caroline hawley has more the bbc has said it is not a credible explanation to suggest he was arrested for his own good and then, as you said, beaten and kicked. downing street said what happened to him was shocking and unacceptable, the foreign secretary james cleverly said it was deeply disturbing and a government minister said there would be a robust conversation with the chinese ambassador when he goes in this afternoon. now, it is the third time since august that there has been a summons to chinese diplomats. in august it happened over taiwan, then in october you may remember that a hong kong protester was assaulted on the grounds of the chinese consulate in manchester with chinese diplomats involved. so there have been diplomatic tensions between the uk and china and the uk is thinking again about its relationship with

china. rishi sunak said last night that china posed a systemic challenge that was growing more acute because of growing authoritarianism in china. he also criticised china for cracking down on the recent protests rather than listening to the chinese people. and as you can imagine there has come a fairly predictable response from the chinese embassy in london, which has told the uk to stop interfering in china's internal affairs. that told the uk to stop interfering in china's internal affairs.— china's internal affairs. that was caroline hawley _ china's internal affairs. that was caroline hawley there. - we can speak now to andrew chubb, senior lecturer in chinese politics and international relations at lancaster university. good afternoon to you and thank you forjoining us on bbc news. rishi sunak talked about a golden era being over. what was so golden about it? ., �* , ., , being over. what was so golden about it? ., a ., , being over. what was so golden about it? , , ., it? that's a very good question. the achievements _ it? that's a very good question. the achievements of _ it? that's a very good question. the achievements of the _ it? that's a very good question. the achievements of the golden - it? that's a very good question. the achievements of the golden era - it? that's a very good question. the achievements of the golden era i i achievements of the golden era i think are quite unclear, and i think it is actually referred to by many people that i know as the golden error. it is pretty clear that that

whole approach associated with george osborne and david cameron was pretty much in remission by about 2018 and theresa may's premiership, so i think it has been recognised from a fairly early time that that approach of all—out engagement, trying to get out ahead of europe in terms of cooperation with china across all areas, was a mistake. just how close are china and the uk intertwined? is it a simple to say we are going to be tougher and a bit more pragmatic about it? is it really as simple as that? it is definitely _ really as simple as that? it is definitely not _ really as simple as that? it is definitely not simple. - really as simple as that? it is definitely not simple. i i really as simple as that? it 3 definitely not simple. i think as the preceding segment was referring to, there is a litany of very serious tensions in the relationship. we saw this particularly from 2019 onwards, as the hong kong protests broke out and

the hong kong protests broke out and the uk has obligations to hongkongers. we have seen it obviously in the arrests of ed lawrence just over the weekend. there is the ongoing issue of the manchester consul—general�*s conduct in october in trying to shut down protests outside the consulate. it is anything but simple. that's even before you even start talking about the geopolitics where the uk is trying to align as closely as it can with the us in that emerging geopolitical rivalry. fik. with the us in that emerging geopolitical rivalry. 0k. let's briefly touch _ geopolitical rivalry. 0k. let's briefly touch on _ geopolitical rivalry. 0k. let's briefly touch on the - geopolitical rivalry. 0k. let's. briefly touch on the geopolitics. geopolitical rivalry. 0k. let's- briefly touch on the geopolitics. a united front with the united states. where does china's sphere of influence lie? where does their alliances lying globally? the evidence so _ alliances lying globally? the evidence so far _ alliances lying globally? tue: evidence so far suggests alliances lying globally? t'te: evidence so far suggests that alliances lying globally? tt2 evidence so far suggests that china has been much more successful in wielding influence economically than it has either militarily or

politically. so i think that's why we see now the uk's response to this era of increased tensions very much being focused on a kind of rethinking of which areas of the economy do you want at what level and what type of cooperation with the prc, or prc entities. that's beenin the prc, or prc entities. that's been in the lead as far as this rethinking and new approach that is emerging for the uk. find rethinking and new approach that is emerging for the uk.— rethinking and new approach that is emerging for the uk. and you touched briefl on emerging for the uk. and you touched briefly on china's _ emerging for the uk. and you touched briefly on china's handling _ emerging for the uk. and you touched briefly on china's handling of - emerging for the uk. and you touched briefly on china's handling of the i briefly on china's handling of the latest protests. do you think the crackdown could get much harsher? that depends on how determined the protesters are to continue taking to the streets. we have seen the ccp wheel out a fairly standard rate of its tools for keeping people off the streets in terms of blocking up the

streets, the gathering points were they became focal points over the weekend, making exemplary arrests of people who were involved, sending students home. these types of measures. but i think actually what will be determined, or what we will find out a lot from, is this weekend, because i think protests in china tend to have a weekly cycle where they are most intense on a weekend, so we will find out this weekend, so we will find out this weekend how determined the protesters are to continue raising their objections to this zero—covid policy because there is no end in sight for that. dr policy because there is no end in sight for that.— sight for that. dr andrew chubb, thank ou sight for that. dr andrew chubb, thank you for— sight for that. dr andrew chubb, thank you for that. _ the government has signed a deal committing nearly £700 million, to a new nuclear power plant, at sizewell c in suffolk. ministers argue the project will help secure the uk's energy independence. the french firm, edf, which will take on the construction, says a final decision

western areas will have a weather front in the north—west of the uk bringing outbreaks of rain in northern ireland and western scotland and temperatures across the west double figures, and others ranging from around 7—9 c. as we head into the end of the week and into the weekend things will turn colder for all areas, into the weekend things will turn colderfor all areas, and we into the weekend things will turn colder for all areas, and we could even see a bit of winteriness over the hills. hello this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak — the headlines: it's crunch time at the world cup for england and wales, as they go head to head in qatar. the chinese ambassador to the uk has been summoned to the foreign office over the arrest of a bbcjournalist, ed lawrence, who was covering covid protests in shanghai. plans forcing tech companies to take down legal material deemed harmful by the government have been dropped. critics say children, could still be in danger. and in hawaii, the world's largest

active volcano erupts for the first time in almost a0 years. sport now, and for a full round up, let's head to the bbc sport centre. you are going to be busy today. it is a busy afternoon. it's a day at the end of which both wales and england will know their immediate world cup future and it'll be decided on the same pitch tonight in qatar. the neighbours will meet at the ahmed bin ali stadium with the odds of qualifying for the lsat 16 in england's favour. but not impossible for wales. they are currently bottom of the group. rob page's side must win tonight and also hope the usa draw with iran to progress to the last 16. the last time wales beat england was in 1984. you have to be confident. you are going into a game against a good team. we've seen some upsets already

in this world cup. it is a massive stage. maybe one last crack at it to try to perform better than they have. someone in wales could write their name into welsh folklore history for ever tonight. england's position is a lot more secure. they're top of group b and will guarantee to finish there with a win. gareth southgate's side are aiming to bounce back from an underwhelming goalless draw against the usa on friday. but only a four—goal defeat would prevent them from going through. all of which has put these fans in a positive mood. the atmosphere has been great so far. the local derby element will get both sides up for it. english fans will be making themselves heard, i'm sure.— fans will be making themselves heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun. heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun- there — heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun. there will— heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun. there will be _ heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun. there will be a _ heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun. there will be a bit _ heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun. there will be a bit of— heard, i'm sure. yeah, it'll be good fun. there will be a bit of banter i fun. there will be a bit of banter between — fun. there will be a bit of banter between both sets of fans, i'm sure. i'm between both sets of fans, i'm sure. im sure— between both sets of fans, i'm sure. im sure we— between both sets of fans, i'm sure. i'm sure we will sing louder than the welsh — i'm sure we will sing louder than the welsh anyway. i i'm sure we will sing louder than the welsh anyway.— i'm sure we will sing louder than the welsh anyway. i think we will smash them- _ the welsh anyway. i think we will smash them. 4-0, _ the welsh anyway. i think we will smash them. 4-0, harry - the welsh anyway. i think we will smash them. 4-0, harry kane i

last 16 opponents. the netherlands are expected to win group a given their final match is against the hosts qatar who are already out. the other match is winner goes through with ecuador playing senegal. those two games kick off in the next half an hour. james anderson says the change in environment for england's next test series won't bring about a change in approach. they're playing in pakistan for the first time in 17 years with anderson the only one of that 2005 squad still playing for his country. the fast bowler has been central to the new aggressive style under coach brendon mccullum and captain ben stokes whose desire to go for a win whatever the circumstances may well be challenged by slower pitches in pakistan but ahead of thursday's first test as they try to avoid draws. it has been great for me. it has given myself a different mindset with the bulls, it's always about taking wickets. —— mindset with the

disorders is they don't stop as soon as you turn 18, they are mental health conditions that we have to live with. when we access social media, unfortunately the thinspiration movement, which i hate, and the pro—bellini influences are platforms where people can come together and create content which is pro—anorexia and pro bulimia. —— and the pro—bulimia influences. you feel like you belong and you feel like you understand. and you feel understood. they are more destructive than some of the pro—recovery content you can find out there. tt pro-recovery content you can find out there-— pro-recovery content you can find outthere. , ,, ., , , out there. if somebody knows they have a condition. _ out there. if somebody knows they have a condition. they _ out there. if somebody knows they have a condition. they have - out there. if somebody knows they have a condition. they have a i out there. if somebody knows they i have a condition. they have a mental illness. like you said, it is something that needs to be treated, it is hidden, isn't it? it isn't obvious to everyone. how should they go about protecting themselves. or as a parent, because duty of care

in the far western city of urumqi. the deaths have been blamed by many on restrictive coronavirus curbs and sparked off the protests. a senior chinese health official has acknowledged that some people have been unhappy with the lockdowns and blamed local officals. translation: some residents. and general public say the major problem is the oversimplification of the prevention control measures and arbitrary imposition of restrictions and the one size fits all approach. some localities have arbitrarily expended the areas and the people to be put on lockdown and in some regions without approval randomly putting the entire locality on stack. at present, localities have established an ad hoc working committee to deal with the wrongful practice of arbitrary imposition of restrictions.

let's discuss some of the strands of this story with diane wei liang, a chinese author. thank you and welcome to bbc news. i wonder if we could start off first with covid—i9 and the vaccination programme. has there been any resistance to that at all in china? this is the mystery. we are talking about china where a lot of programmes are mandated. if china wants to have 100% vaccination rate, china can get it. it is rather a mystery that there is a very low take—up on vaccinations. perhaps because of this zero covid policy which has been so effective and the government hasn't seen the need to roll out further vaccinations.

nonetheless, this is rather surprising that china has such a low take—up rate. questions around the chinese made vaccine, how effective it is, because china has focused on that vaccine for the population. when we have images coming from around the world showing open societies, people mixing, normal life continuing, how aware are the chinese in china of those images of that narrative, and how much of a threat is this debating?— that narrative, and how much of a threat is this debating? everyone is aware. threat is this debating? everyone is aware- peeple _ threat is this debating? everyone is aware. people are _ threat is this debating? everyone is aware. people are watching - threat is this debating? everyone is aware. people are watching the - threat is this debating? everyone is i aware. people are watching the world cup because football is very popular in china. they can see how it is like outside of china. that has been trending on chinese messaging for many months as to how the outside of china seems to be very different.

the chinese citizens are asking, are we on a different planet? it is very damaging. it is creating a lot of angen damaging. it is creating a lot of anger. and frustration. it was billed as the most successful covid control programme since wuhan and down the line it seems to be the only one in the world, certainly in the major economies, that is still following lockdown is and zero covid. ~ . . following lockdown is and zero covid. . ., ., ., ~ covid. what have you made of the a4 rotest as covid. what have you made of the a4 protest as it — covid. what have you made of the a4 protest as it has _ covid. what have you made of the a4 protest as it has become _ covid. what have you made of the a4 protest as it has become to _ covid. what have you made of the a4 protest as it has become to be - covid. what have you made of the a4 protest as it has become to be known as? how unprecedented... because this is what we've been reading, this is what we've been reading, this is what we've been reading, this is unprecedented in terms of protests against the president. what is your assessment of it? it protests against the president. what is your assessment of it?— is your assessment of it? it seems for china, protests _ is your assessment of it? it seems for china, protests at _ is your assessment of it? it seems for china, protests at this - is your assessment of it? it seems for china, protests at this scale . is your assessment of it? it seems for china, protests at this scale in | for china, protests at this scale in multiple cities, it has still happen since 1989, since the tiananmen

well dons — at the salad bar, the head teacher is coaxing pupils, trying to get them to try healthy options, too. i had a bit of, like, potato salad. but i didn't have, like, the actual green thing salad. did you have any salad today? er... no. why not? because i like having the pizza without the salad. what would you say to the other people who haven't tried anything from the salad? i would say, like, try the salad because it has good, erm... ..it�*s healthy for your body. to put a meal on a plate is costing the school more than last year. the cost to schools of providing lunches is going up because of food prices. but, at the moment, they simply can't pass that on to parents because it would lead to too many opting out of a hot, nutritious meal of the day. cake or fruit? already, some families can afford

fewer school meals each week. if children go onto packed lunches because parents are struggling to afford school dinners, the packed lunches aren't always of the quality and standard that we would want them to be. what we often see is leftover burgers or cold food coming from restaurants that are in the lunch boxes the next day, which is not always balanced with the things that we would like to see, such as yogurts and cheese and fruit. the quality of school food has never been more important. now there's a new scheme trying out checks on standards. in 18 areas, councils are working with the food standards agency. speaking exclusively to the bbc, a warning of why this matters. i am worried that the cost—of—living crisis risks turning into a public health crisis, as well. and there's an opportunity, i think, for — in schools — for us to at least try to protect children from the worst of that

by ensuring that the food they have in schools is healthy and nutritious. morning. at the school, food just past sell—by dates arrives. yeah, there's cucumber, courgettes, ginger. at pick—up, parents can help themselves — donating whatever they can manage in return. there are families still who can't even maybe even afford those couple of pounds. and then if they have a word with me or let someone in the school know, i do have separate packs for them which they can just pick up, you know, discreetly, and no—one will know about it. i've had more families this year than ever where i've had to let them know where the local food bank is. is it nice? mm—hm!| eight—year—old alishah's dad is self—employed. they try to eat well at home, but the family tell me they can only afford a couple of school dinners a week. they're not heating upstairs, to help with rising bills.

everything is up. every single item — even cooking oils, vegetables, fruit, anything you can buy. not having the same prices. every single day, prices changing. so that's why it's very hard to survive in a home. working hard to feed bradford's children — this school knows many parents are struggling, with those in work — but not earning much — facing a hard winter. branwenjeffreys, bbc news, bradford. he is famously one of the hardest philosophers to understand, but plenty of experts will tell you that the german writer, georg hegel has had a huge impact on modern thinking — hegel invented ideas like the "zeitgeist", and he was also a major influence on karl marx. and now, in what's been described as a philosophical treasure trove, a vast quantity of notes from hegel's lectures have been

found, more than two hundred years after they were written. well our europe regional editor paul moss studied philosophy at university and is here now. you are excited by this, aren't you? very, yes. you are excited by this, aren't you? very. yes-— very, yes. georg hegel, what is he all about? — very, yes. georg hegel, what is he all about? and _ very, yes. georg hegel, what is he all about? and i'll— very, yes. georg hegel, what is he all about? and i'll be _ very, yes. georg hegel, what is he all about? and i'll be i— very, yes. georg hegel, what is he all about? and i'll be i can't- all about? and i'll be i can't explain, i don't know, i study philosophy for three years and i cannot understand georg hegel. in my defence, there were plenty of professors at my university who would have said the same. reading georg hegel, it is a bit like climbing a mountain and not getting the other top but every now and again you get a glimpse of the truth of the summit and it is quite interesting. georg hegel is revolutionary because he introduced the idea of time and history into philosophy. untilthen

the idea of time and history into philosophy. until then philosophers sat around asking themselves questions like, what is a thought, how do we decide what is right and what is wrong? georg hegel said what you feel about these things changes, it evolves through history. it depends when you were born, the circumstances you were born into, hence, as you say, the idea of zeitgeist. which is? the way people see things at the time. if you've ever used the word zeitgeist you are channelling your inner georg hegel. 0k. hopefully that has explained that. i like how you are breaking this down for us. tell us more about the discovery itself.— the discovery itself. georg hegel is reall , the discovery itself. georg hegel is really. really _ the discovery itself. georg hegel is really, really hard _ the discovery itself. georg hegel is really, really hard to _ the discovery itself. georg hegel is really, really hard to read. - the discovery itself. georg hegel is really, really hard to read. there . really, really hard to read. there are huge amounts of gaps. he was around between 1770, ithink are huge amounts of gaps. he was around between 1770, i think that is when he was born, and the early 19th century. he was giving lectures all around germany. people were coming from all over to see him, wowed by what he said, but nobody knows for certain patches what it was what he was saying, which has been very

frustrating. in 1816 he was lecturing at heidelberg university, and it turns out there was a man watching him, young student, and he was what we would have to call a swot. he wrote 4000 pages of notes on georg hegel's lectures. he wrote down everything the man said. fast forward to today and georg hegel's biographer, we've got this story and it is exclusive in the guardian newspaper today, it is exclusive in the guardian newspapertoday, he it is exclusive in the guardian newspaper today, he found a letter in which these 4000 pages of notes were referred to and they were given to a friend of georg hegel's. lo and behold he finds all of these notes which tell us exactly what georg hegel was saying at this key period of his development of thought.

mine! we know he was interested in the arts. this was a big subject for philosophers, notjustan the arts. this was a big subject for philosophers, notjust an extra frilly bit. they thought that music, plays, the visual arts could tell us a lot about reality and a lot about the way we see reality. he wrote a lot about that.— the way we see reality. he wrote a lot about that. why does philosophy matter? why _ lot about that. why does philosophy matter? why did — lot about that. why does philosophy matter? why did you _ lot about that. why does philosophy matter? why did you study - lot about that. why does philosophy matter? why did you study it? - lot about that. why does philosophy matter? why did you study it? why| matter? why did you study it? why did i stud matter? why did you study it? “11: did i study philosophy? that is a long question for a news programme. laughter we all now and again ask ourselves questions like what is right and wrong, what is the point, why am i doing all of this, why do i get out of bed in the morning? rather than sitting and scratching my head under a tree it was a way of studying that for three years and hopefully at the end i am older and wiser. i will leave that to others to judge. laughter acts very much! —— thank you very much! there is an article available to be read on that discovery, as i said. the world's largest active volcano, hawaii's mauna loa, has erupted for the first time

in almost 40 years. mauna loa isjust over 190 miles from the hawaiian state capital honolulu. the lava flow is mostly contained within the summit, but nearby residents have been placed on alert. scientists are warning the situation is volatile and could change rapidly. here's howard johnson. red — warning. as mauna loa began spewing lava, the united states geological survey, or usgs, raised its alert level to the highest tier, indicating a major volcanic eruption is under way. it's the first time the world's largest active volcano has erupted since 1984. at the time, the lava came within eight kilometres of the city of hilo. but this time, it's not thought that the flow is life—threatening. it's high on the flank

of the volcano, so it's got a long way to travel before it reaches any population centres. and it's on one of the most gradual slopes. so, unlike the case if it had erupted in the south—west rift zone, it would have been just a few hours transit time to the ocean, because it's so steep over there. in the latest update, the usgs have reported a visible gas plume, prompting an alert about a potential noxious emissions. i know that some airlines have delayed or cancelled flights out of hilo for ash hazard, because you don't want ash to get into jet engines, that's a bad mix. and there's the hazard of volcanic gases to make what they call vog, this volcanic fog, that can be bad for your respiratory tract, because it has got droplets of acid in it. the volcano is located on hawaii's big island, and within the united states volcanoes national park. most of the island's 200,000 strong population live safely away from the volcano. and although the usgs say no property is currently under threat, residents having placed on alert about the risk of falling ash. howard johnson, bbc news.

now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. we have had a big contrast in weather conditions this morning. some areas frosty and sunny, other areas chilly and grey, misty and foggy. the file becomes more extensive over the midlands, north—eastern england, and into central, southern and eastern scotland. under clear skies we will see a frost again. temperatures generally holding above freezing in foggy areas. italy start to wednesday with areas of mist and fog which could linger all day in places. there will be some sunshine around some southern and western areas but we will have a weather front in the north—west of the uk bringing outbreaks of rain to

northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures across the west in double figures. foremost, ranging around seven to nine celsius. as we head into the end of the week, turning into the weekend, things will be turning colder for all areas and we could even see some winter arenas over the hills in the north.

this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at three... it's crunch time at the world cup for england and wales as they go head to head in qatar. i'm alex howell at the ahmed bin ali stadium, where england meet wales in their crucial world cup game later this evening. the chinese ambassador to the uk has been summoned —— nature's foreign ministers meet in bucharest to discuss ramping up supplies to ukraine. —— set foreign minister is. expect to hearfrom jens stoltenberg later. the first lady of ukraine is also due to address soon and we will bring you

more on that live. plans forcing tech companies to take down legal material deemed harmful by the government have been dropped. critics say children, could still be in danger. and in hawaii, the world's largest active volcano erupts for the first time in almost 40 years. good afternoon. welcome to bbc news. millions of fans are expected to tune in this evening when england and wales play each other at the world cup in qatar. the result could decide the fate of both nations in the tournament. thousands of supporters have made the trip to the gulf for the match, which wales must win, to stand any chance of progressing to the last 16. this report from our

sports correspondent, natalie pirks. happy and focused. england's final training session before their first all british world cup match was a relaxed affair. they know a win, draw or narrow defeat would still see them through to the last 16, and wales are a familiar foe. vardy is in the area. dele alli! daniel sturridge! sturridge scores! the last time england and wales met in a major tournament was the 2016 euros. england won 2—1. wales went on to reach the semis. this time, it's very different. of course they are going to be fighting for their world cup lives. but i feel like there is added spice around the game. i feel like if we are fully focused on ourjob and what we need to do, then that shouldn't be an issue. we know it is going to be difficult, but they are going to be expecting a difficult game as well. we have shown we are a really good team in this tournament already, and for us now it is just about trying to take another step forward and trying

to finish top of the group. team changes are expected by gareth southgate tonight, with fans hoping to see a more positive approach than the goalless draw against america. we've got to beat them, haven't we? it's got to be two three, hasn't it, at least? we've got foden, we've got the grealish... england! and i think, at the end of the day, what is going to make that difference is that bit of quality. i reckon it's got to be 3—1 england. it's got to be. 0n the beaches... # it's coming home! in the bars... and even the cruise ships, where some fans are staying... a lot of the england fans are starting to arrive on the deck. it is not only at home where things will come to a standstill. today, theirflags may fly happily side by side. tonight, though... come on, england! all bets are off. it's coming home! natalie pirks, bbc news, doha. let's speak a bit more about the england team to alex howell from bbc sport.

alex, everybody will be talking about the final line—up, what do you think it will look like? about the final line-up, what do you think it will look like?— think it will look like? there has been a lot— think it will look like? there has been a lot of— think it will look like? there has been a lot of debate _ think it will look like? there has been a lot of debate about - think it will look like? there has i been a lot of debate about whether gareth southgate will make changes this evening, it looks like that will be the case. just yesterday evening at the press conference he had liverpool captainjordan had liverpool captain jordan henderson alongside had liverpool captainjordan henderson alongside him, indicating he will stop the match. there has been a lot of talk about whether england captain harry kane will start the match or if you need to rest, there has been a lot made about his fitness and how fatigued he might be feeling, he had a scan on the right foot injury he picked up on the right foot injury he picked up in the first game. he has since played and gareth southgate said it would take a brave person to leave the england captain out. there is a lot of expectation coming into this match, talk of phil foden of man city coming into the side after the goalless draw against the usa and

france have been giving their thoughts ahead of this match which is sure to be a memorable occasion. i think we need a reaction after the usa game, — i think we need a reaction after the usa game, southgate will get the team up— usa game, southgate will get the team up to it, it is a local derby, we need — team up to it, it is a local derby, we need to— team up to it, it is a local derby, we need to win, pride is at stake but wales— we need to win, pride is at stake but wales will want to send england hopes— but wales will want to send england hopes that we will keep our fingers crossed _ hopes that we will keep our fingers crossed but hopefully win. wales can alwa s crossed but hopefully win. wales can always bring — crossed but hopefully win. wales can always bring a _ crossed but hopefully win. wales can always bring a surprise, _ crossed but hopefully win. wales can always bring a surprise, the - crossed but hopefully win. wales can always bring a surprise, the fans - always bring a surprise, the fans will be _ always bring a surprise, the fans will be really _ always bring a surprise, the fans will be really up _ always bring a surprise, the fans will be really up for _ always bring a surprise, the fans will be really up for it. _ always bring a surprise, the fans will be really up for it. i - always bring a surprise, the fans will be really up for it. ithink- always bring a surprise, the fans will be really up for it. i think we have _ will be really up for it. i think we have to — will be really up for it. i think we have to score _ will be really up for it. i think we have to score first. _ will be really up for it. i think we have to score first.— have to score first. hopefully better than _ have to score first. hopefully better than the _ have to score first. hopefully better than the usa - have to score first. hopefully better than the usa game, l have to score first. hopefully better than the usa game, aj have to score first. hopefully i better than the usa game, a bit of have to score first. hopefully - better than the usa game, a bit of a bore draw— better than the usa game, a bit of a bore draw passata, gareth southgate had to _ bore draw passata, gareth southgate had to fire _ bore draw passata, gareth southgate had to fire them up, get some attacking _ had to fire them up, get some attacking play going, a couple of goals _ attacking play going, a couple of goals before half—time and like the welsh _ goals before half—time and like the welsh get packing and on their back home _ welsh get packing and on their back home i _ welsh get packing and on their back home. ., , , , ., home. i hope it is better than the last two games. _ home. i hope it is better than the last two games, i _ home. i hope it is better than the last two games, i feel— home. i hope it is better than the last two games, i feel this - home. i hope it is better than the last two games, i feel this world | last two games, i feel this world cup has — last two games, i feel this world top has been _ last two games, i feel this world cup has been very— last two games, i feel this world cup has been very subdued i last two games, i feel this world i cup has been very subdued compared to previous _ cup has been very subdued compared to previous ones _ cup has been very subdued compared to previous ones i _ cup has been very subdued compared to previous ones i have _ cup has been very subdued compared to previous ones i have bed _ cup has been very subdued compared to previous ones i have bed too, i-

bottom of group b. this report from how well with a in katty. —— from high griffith in qatar. after waiting so long to claim their place, wales aren't ready to depart doha just yet. the dream ofjust coming to a world cup has been handed down through generations. for cathy and her grandchildren, it's still alive. we've pulled off a mission impossible before. i think we can certainly do it again. whether we can do it against england is another matter. we can hope for usa and iran to draw and for us to beat england 1—0, i would happy with that. we keep playing it back. we need to play it forward more. we do have a chance. we have a good chance if we try our best. it's a daunting task, wales simply have to win. but, seen, another way they have nothing to lose. a bit of perspective reminds us that this is a generation of welsh players which has achieved what no other is managed for over 64 years. since qualifying, wales's stars have shown only glimpses of what they can do at this world cup. now would be a very good time to force themselves to the foreground. we are under no illusions

it is can be hard. -- it is —— it is going to be hard. but we are going be ready and give everything that we always do and there have few shocks already in the world cup and there is no reason why we can't do the same. the last time the two teams met at a tournament, wales lost but were the side which went the furthest at the euros. their captain of 2016 says that spirit can be revived. i think the guys know they haven't performed as well as they would have liked to, so it's a massive stage and maybe one last crack at it to perform better than they have. someone in wales could write their name into welsh folklore history forever tonight. that would give these supporters something to dine out for decades to come. hywel griffith, bbc news, doha. with me is england fan ryan tobin —— and hywel joins —— and hyweljoins us now from joe hart. how will the players feel

getting ready for the match? they are rehearsing for the opening ceremony, setting the stage for an enormous gain in welsh football. there will be nervous when the anthem kicks in, pride and passion. we heard from the manager rob page about dealing with the emotion of the occasion, remembering to play their own game. what we have heard from him, the players and the fans as they want to give their best. realistically, whether that is when, lose or draw, showing the world what they can do, having faulted on the last two occasions. wales have had guiding lights which have shown so much at the last decade but been largely absent in the last two games. perhaps expect changes, gareth bale is probably untroubled, maybe someone likejohnson who qualify to play for england but chose wales, he has shown bursts of

pace and aggression which could damage england. lots of welsh supporters and certainly the players will be hugely up for this —— somebody like gareth bale is probably undroppable. with me is england fan ryan tobin and wales fan 0wain lacey. lovely to have you both with us. a very good afternoon. i will start with you, ryan, what do you hope to see today? not what you saw with the usa game? see today? not what you saw with the usa came? ., , , ., ., , usa game? honestly looking for a big improvement — usa game? honestly looking for a big improvement on _ usa game? honestly looking for a big improvement on the _ usa game? honestly looking for a big improvement on the usa _ usa game? honestly looking for a big l improvement on the usa performance. i think we were way too conservative going into that game, it felt like we were playing for a draw, a bit like russia 2018, gambling we might finish second and get an easier run through the knockouts. i think we need to be on the front foot tonight, we know we are the better

side than wales but it is the closest to a derby that the world cup could come, so the biggest thing is to make sure they are on the front foot and started positively and get an early goal.— front foot and started positively and get an early goal. 0wain, ryan thinks he is — and get an early goal. 0wain, ryan thinks he is backing _ and get an early goal. 0wain, ryan thinks he is backing the _ and get an early goal. 0wain, ryan thinks he is backing the better- thinks he is backing the better club. ~ ., ., ,, thinks he is backing the better club. . ., ., y., , ~' club. what do you say? i think everyone _ club. what do you say? i think everyone knows _ club. what do you say? i think everyone knows england i club. what do you say? i think everyone knows england are l club. what do you say? i think- everyone knows england are better on paper— everyone knows england are better on paper but— everyone knows england are better on paper but wales, we just have to do ourselves— paper but wales, we just have to do ourselves proud tonight. the last two games, especially against iran, we have _ two games, especially against iran, we have not done that, theyjust have _ we have not done that, theyjust have not— we have not done that, theyjust have not turned up, we had to hope the big _ have not turned up, we had to hope the big players like gareth bale, brennan— the big players like gareth bale, brennanjohnson and eireann runcie turn up _ brennanjohnson and eireann runcie turn up and — brennanjohnson and eireann runcie turn up and give it a really good no. turn up and give it a really good do -- — turn up and give it a really good do -- and _ turn up and give it a really good go. —— and aaron ramsey. the}r turn up and give it a really good go. -- and aaron ramsey. they are also the older— go. -- and aaron ramsey. they are also the older players, _ go. -- and aaron ramsey. they are also the older players, this - go. -- and aaron ramsey. they are also the older players, this could i also the older players, this could potentially be a big sendoff for them? .,. , potentially be a big sendoff for them? .. , , potentially be a big sendoff for them? , , them? exactly, it might be gareth bale's last ever _

on bbc news, we expect to hear what she is going to say about support, well, definitely, from the uk and maybe wider eu. when she arrives and starts speaking we will bring it to you. controversial measures which would have forced big tech companies to take down legal content deemed as harmful by the government have been scrapped from the online safety bill. some conservative mps argued the proposals jeopardised free speech, but critics, including the labour party and the samaritans, say dropping the plans, is a backward step. here's angus crawford. the online safety bill does complete... a bill tabled. we will be proceeding with the online safety... delayed. well, can i thank my honourable... and amended. it's taken years, but will be back before parliament next week. legislative gridlock broken by a series of amendments. so what's in, and what's out? powers for ministers to define "legal but harmful" content dropped — satisfying free—speech advocates, infuriating labour.

but now included — new criminal offences of encouraging self—harm, and sharing deep—fake pornography. better age verification for children. adult users given more power to block unwanted content. the whole point around this bill, fundamentally, is about protecting children. that's why that is why the first thing i did when i became secretary of state is defy what everybody said was impossible and actually strengthen this bill for children. we are going further when it comes to children. instead of going after the business models, the engagement algorithms and the way these companies work, which means that people can be overexposed to abuse or suicide material, self—harm or disinformation and so on, they try to go down the take down content route. it was the case of molly russell, perhaps more than any other, that influenced the bill.

she took her own life after being exposed to a stream of content about suicide, depression and self—harm. the coroner at her inquest singled out algorithms which relentlessly pushed harmful material. pleased by the bill's progress, ian russell, though, fears it's been weakened. i don't see how you can see the removal of a whole clause as anything other than a watering down. the evidence that was presented to molly's inquest by the platforms that showed what molly had engaged with when she was online, that contributed to her death, as the coroner concluded at the end of the inquest, the content that she saw and engaged with, i think the most harmful content to her was content that could be described as legal but harmful. ground—breaking but complex — a law that won't satisfy everyone, but may finally bring to an end the era of big tech regulating itself. angus crawford, bbc news.

new figures show christians, now account for less than half of the population of england and wales, for the first time in census history. the office for national statistics, says 46.2%, described themselves as christian in 2021, a fall from 58% a decade ago. those who said they had no religion increased to 37.2%, while the number of people identifying as muslim, increased by 1.2 million. we will get a percentage for you on that. 0ur midlands correspondent, navteonhal, reports now from leicester, which has also become one of the uk's first majority non—white cities. is that your boyfriend? no! meet verna and her son, not boyfriend, bernard. she's100 and he is 78. they arrived in leicester from antigua in 1960,

part of the windrush generation. back then, racism was visible and constant presence in the city. if i seen a few white guys, i had to turn in the other direction because they will attack you. it was a common thing. and they are more social with black people now and so on and we all, i think we all get on ok. the latest census data shows that leicester is one of the first british cities where no ethnic group is in the majority. 41% of people here identify themselves as white, the lowest of any city in the uk. but bernard believes not enough progress has been made to ensure all groups are treated equally. i'm happy to see leicester achieve, but i'm not happy to see what we have achieved. you see, it is subtle now, the racism is more subtle now. in those days we could see it, we knew it was there. maz mashru is a world—renowned

photographer. so what was tony blair like? but in 1972 he was forced to flee uganda when dictator idi amin ordered the country's asians to leave. many of them settled in leicester, helping to revive the city's fortunes. most of my good friends are muslims, sikhs, indians and we maintain that type of a tradition here. leicester is the most harmonious city in the whole of europe. demi is a dance teacher, born and raised in leicester by black caribbean and white british parents. she says her mixed heritage makes her extra proud of the city's new status. there is just so many different cultures, it allows you to not only be educated in that culture but also, like, experience and understand how they live, how they eat. a few months ago, groups of young hindu and muslim men clashed in leicester, leading to dozens of arrests

and plenty of questions about harmony among different groups. and yet, for these proud leicester folk, that disorder is something they believe doesn't reflect the city as a whole or its future. ifeel privileged being in a city that holds so much diversity and inclusivity as well. navteonhal, bbc news, leicester. the chinese ambassador to the uk has been summoned to the foreign office following the arrest of a bbc journalist in shanghai. ed lawrence was beaten and kicked by police before being held for several hours. chinese officials claim he was detained as a precaution against being infected with covid by demonstrators who were protesting against lockdown laws. 0ur diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley has more. the bbc has said it's not a credible explanation to suggest that he was arrested

for his own good and then, as you said, beaten and kicked. downing street has said that what happened to him was shocking and unacceptable. the foreign secretary, james cleverly said it was deeply disturbing, and a government minister said there would be a robust conversation with the chinese ambassador when he goes in this afternoon. now, it's the third time since august that there has been a summons to chinese diplomats. in august, it happened over taiwan. then in october, you may remember that a hong kong protester was assaulted on the grounds of the chinese consulate in manchester, with chinese diplomats involved. so there have been deepening diplomatic tensions between the uk and china, and the uk is thinking again about its relationship with china. rishi sunak said last night that china posed a systemic challenge that was growing more acute because of growing authoritarianism in china. he also criticised china for cracking down on the recent protests rather than listening to the chinese people. and, as you can imagine, there's come a fairly predictable response from the chinese embassy in london, which has told the uk to stop interfering

in china's internal affairs. that was caroline hawley. the government has signed a deal committing nearly £700 million to a new nuclear power plant at sizewell c in suffolk. ministers argue the project will help secure the uk's energy independence. the french firm edf, which will take on the construction, says a final decision on whether the project goes ahead is at least a year away. here's our environment reporter, richard daniel. the new business secretary on a whistle—stop tour of the sizewell c site. so what i'm looking out on the right is all c? all c, that's right. and the two units are identical. right. by his side, the chief executive of the french power giant edf, with whom he hasjust signed a deal committing nearly £700 million to the project. it's a sign of, if you like, the confidence that the british government has in nuclear as part of our energy mix, and very, very important point which has been

driven home so clearly by putin's illegal invasion of ukraine and all that has done to energy prices, that we must have a mix of energy in this country. the investment ends chinese involvement in sizewell c, but it has nothing to do with who will pay the huge cost of building it. sizewell c would be a cut and paste of hinkley c, currently being built in somerset, estimated cost £26 billion. and many commentators think once inflation is taken into account, sizewell c could cost at least that. the government has said it will take a 20% equity stake in building sizewell c, so will edf. that leaves 60% of the cost to be found from institutional investors, and edf is confident they will come forward. this is a great uk inflation—linked long—term asset, it will have a stable income stream and it's going to do a lot of good. so we expect to make the final

investment decision in 12 to 18 months and we're very confident that we are going to raise the money and go ahead. well, 700 million doesn't get us very far, does it? all it does, it gets rid of china and it pays back edf for some of the money it has spent on this project already. they've still got a huge amount of capital and financing to secure. so the prospect of sizewell c has edged a step closer, but will it definitely be built? only if investors can be found, and we won't know that for at least another year. richard daniel, bbc look east, sizewell. we will just take you we willjust take you to the house of commons. you can see members of parliament, lawmakers applauding, the lady they are reporting is at the lady they are reporting is at the top of the screen in grey with a black collar, she is the ukrainian

first lady, olena zelenska. she arrived a short time ago and will be addressing those members of parliament in that committee room in the house of commons. we expect her to talk about the fact that ukraine will endure, she has been speaking over the last few days and pointed to the fact that winter is coming, it is cold, there are blackouts, but we will continue, she says. also saying people should not forget the war in ukraine this christmas. olena zelenska will be addressing mps and peers in central london. i believe lindsay hoyle is just standing up and introducing her. let's quickly hear what he is saying.— and introducing her. let's quickly hear what he is saying. which is a violence — hear what he is saying. which is a violence against _ hear what he is saying. which is a violence against women - hear what he is saying. which is a violence against women during i a violence against women during conflict. i would like to say a few words. it is only nine months since

the second invasion of your homeland by russia, and act of aggression that shocked and appalled us all. at nine months is a long time. while the uk continues to offer help, supplying military hardware and training to thousands, offering homes to your displaced people and even an unprecedented platform video link for your husband, president zelensky, to talk to our members in the house of commons in the chamber. it is easy for those others who live in peace to not want to think about what you are going through. when there is no end in sight, people suffer. butjust as we must not forget the holocaust, we cannot deny that it forget the holocaust, we cannot deny thatitis forget the holocaust, we cannot deny that it is happening again. we must not sleepwalk into thinking that this situation is going on in a

far—away land. that it does not affect us. so you're brave this it with us today must shock us awake again —— you're brave visit. you must make us listen when you say ukraine women are being raped by russian soldiers and people's lives are being destroyed, children are being murdered, homes are being destroyed. you must make us listen. actual, we are you and you are us. we cannot imagine what is happening to you but how we would feel if this happened to us. you need to keep going and we need to keep supporting you because if putin wins, other nations will. .. you because if putin wins, other nations will... my friends and colleagues, many of whom are sanctioned by russia, raise your plight at every opportunity and

discussions about food, energy security and the rights of women's and girls at the recent un speakers conference in jakarta and girls at the recent un speakers conference injakarta i was a payment on my attack about russia, your rights and sovereign rights. i refuse to sign any communique that did not acknowledge russia as the aggressor. i made no friends and i am proud of that. so let us in the uk peel continued voice that your story, you're lived reality of being invaded does not disappear. it is our duty to keep the spotlight on you, to keep shaking the world awake to the horrors russia is committing. i know it has not been easy for you or your family being separated during this awful war. we know the sacrifices you have made to spread the message of peace and keep your family safe. so for you to join us

today takes a level of bravery which is a homework of your president, your parliament and the ukraine people. —— which is a hallmark of i thank you for being here today, and please, first lady, the floor is yours.

leader, to lead the way. there's a lot going on against a backdrop, much of it around ukraine. there is a mini summit of sorts taking place in bucharest, nato reading that, and as part of this, statement from nato has said that russia's aggression and persistent attacks on ukrainian civilian and infrastructure are stuck driving millions of ukrainians of basic human services, something we have described there by the training first lady. nato has gone on to say we will continue and further set up support to ukraine and will maintain our support for as long as necessary. it will be interesting to see in what form that support will be coming, because the training for the has said we need

defence and transformed. the first day of those talks taking place in romania, more as and when it comes to us here at bbc news. more now on our top story — the government has axed part of its internet safety legislation, which would have forced big technology firms to remove legal but harmful material from their platforms. some conservative mps claimed the measure was a risk to free speech. instead, tech giants will be told to introduce a system allowing users more control to filter out harmful content. let's talk to richard collard, child safety online policy manager at the nspcc. welcome to bbc news this afternoon, richard. what do you think of that suggestion that tech companies lead on this? . ,

suggestion that tech companies lead on this? ., , ., ,., on this? ultimately the reason we have an online _ on this? ultimately the reason we have an online safety _ on this? ultimately the reason we have an online safety bills - on this? ultimately the reason we | have an online safety bills because nspcc four years ago were pushing government to address a number of harms are still present society today. we are looking at a backdrop of grooming at an all—time high. we estimate there is 100 online child sexual crimes committed every day in the uk, we have all seen the last few months a coroner concluded that social media platforms directly contributed to the death of a child. 50 we need to make sure we have this so we need to make sure we have this bill, and we need to make sure it is strong and can tackle abuse that is caused to children. the culture secretary has come out and said that although they are removing the harmful duties for the adults, children, the child safety duties and duties that protect children, thatis and duties that protect children, that is good news and welcome to her. she also says... but we are

concerned that given how interconnected this bill was, that any effort to remove the harmful areas of the bill could have knock—on indications for children. we will be scrutinising the details of that bill to make sure children get the protection they need. i just get the protection they need. i 'ust want to no get the protection they need. i 'ust want to go back �* get the protection they need. i 'ust want to go back a i get the protection they need. i 'ust want to go back a little i get the protection they need. ijust want to go back a little bit, you said some of the numbers and statistics around what is happening to children when it comes to online safety, and the risks they are facing and at an all—time high. what has triggered that? is itjust that people are reporting it more, are other more incidents taking place? what we are seeing is abusers, particularly on grooming, abuse is taking advantage of the design features of technology companies, and using it as an easy way to commit abuse. we see adults who reach out to a number of children

through technology companies, so to direct private messaging, and then try to move those conversations to unencrypted environment or to darker areas of the internet, where they commit abuse to children. it is fundamentally because these technology platforms have not been taking responsible is it the harm that occurs on their platform. we have left them to self regulate, that has just caused significant numbers of harm, and this is why we need a bill that can force technology companies to risk assess, to find these harms on their platforms, and then to mitigate against it. and the regulator ofcom will have power to define them, but we do not think this goes far enough. ultimately we need to make sure there is a person with another technology company who is responsible for child safety, and has obligations to protect children and they can be criminally liable if they fail to protect children. richard, very quickly, why is that those technologies are not doing something? does this come down to

money? something? does this come down to mone ? . , something? does this come down to mone? ., , . , money? ultimately technology companies _ money? ultimately technology companies have _ money? ultimately technology companies have a _ money? ultimately technology companies have a culture i money? ultimately technology companies have a culture that| companies have a culture that prioritises profit over safety. they have easily been able to sit back and not invest in safety measures over the next two years, and it is only with the threat of regulation do these companies start to set up and listen, but it only once the regulation is in effect that they actually change their culture, that is why we need to make sure these bills are passed within this element passage, not only passed but strengthened.— passage, not only passed but strengthened. passage, not only passed but strenathened. . . . ~' , ., strengthened. richard, thank you ve much strengthened. richard, thank you very much indeed. _ let's return now to the news that fewer than half of the population of england and wales have described themselves as christians for the first time, according to new data. people who said they had no religion increased by 12 percentage points, while the number of people identifying as muslim increased by 1.2 million. let's speak now to zara mohammed

who is secretary—general of the muslim council of britain. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. first off, i am sure you have gone through the census figures, and in particular, here at the bbc we pointed out that increase to 1.2 million, what does that say to you? i think there's two kind of critical reasons for that increase. number one is naturally we have more settled communities, i myself am third generation, so 50% of muslims in this country are under the age of 25, so we have a younger demographic of muslims as part of more settled communities. and what the statistics also show us that muslim communities are more dispersed around the uk. the second factorfor are more dispersed around the uk. the second factor for that increase is really down to newly arrived communities often those feeling conflict and crisis from climate change, conflict the world. so i think those numbers were definitely expected and are part and parcel of i guess a changing britain. beefing

expected and are part and parcel of i guess a changing britain.- i guess a changing britain. why do firures i guess a changing britain. why do figures like _ i guess a changing britain. why do figures like that _ i guess a changing britain. why do figures like that matter? - i guess a changing britain. why do figures like that matter? a - i guess a changing britain. why do figures like that matter? a lot i i guess a changing britain. why do figures like that matter? a lot of l figures like that matter? a lot of statisticians and geographers like myself get very excited by the census, but when it comes to an increase in a particular ethnic group, particular religious group, why does it matter when it comes to leading the direction of policy for a government? {line leading the direction of policy for a government?— leading the direction of policy for a government? one of the critical insirhts a government? one of the critical insights we _ a government? one of the critical insights we have _ a government? one of the critical insights we have a _ a government? one of the critical insights we have a plan _ a government? one of the critical insights we have a plan from i a government? one of the critical insights we have a plan from the l insights we have a plan from the census data is the level of social and economic deprivation. so our researchers, after looking at the data, found that over 40% of muslims in this country are in some of the most socioeconomically deprived areas, and that is nearly 500,000 more than those cited in the 2011. so whilst the numbers of muslims have increased in this country, their lack of representation and also that socioeconomic conditions hasn't necessarily, and so what we are really... what is great about the census is that we can look at

religion and see what that means, but what is really tricky now is, what are policymakers doing and what have they been doing to address some of these really critical issues, especially with such a young population? how are we shouldn't we have the most opportunity and inclusion into wider society? 50 i think this census has really shown as a lot of insights, notjust in terms of demographics and geography, but also the conditions and what people have to look forward to it in their social mobility. so people have to look forward to it in their social mobility.— their social mobility. so in terms of percentages. _ their social mobility. so in terms of percentages, we _ their social mobility. so in terms of percentages, we have - their social mobility. so in terms of percentages, we have been i their social mobility. so in terms i of percentages, we have been saying 1.2 million, increased by1.2 million, so those identifying as muslim, i'm going give you the percentages, so 4.9% in 2011 to 6.5% last year. so just to put that into context for you. what do you make of this idea that there has also been an increase in that some people as identifying as not having a religion? is that a general trend you would expect to see, do you

think? , , ~ ., think? yes, definitely, i think that is art of think? yes, definitely, i think that is part of what _ think? yes, definitely, i think that is part of what we _ think? yes, definitely, i think that is part of what we are _ think? yes, definitely, i think that is part of what we are seeing i think? yes, definitely, i think that is part of what we are seeing in i is part of what we are seeing in wider society, is part of what we are seeing in widersociety, in is part of what we are seeing in wider society, in people's religious affinities. i think it is a natural consequence of the society we do live in is welcome and quite an interesting trend in relation to how people do identify themselves, but obviously for muslim communities, that kind of generational shift, that kind of generational shift, that has changed and people to identify themselves as muslim. blew; identify themselves as muslim. very cuickl , identify themselves as muslim. very quickly. zara. _ identify themselves as muslim. very quickly, zara, taking these figures from the census, how would the muslim council of britain use those figures? what would you be using them for? .., , figures? what would you be using them for? , ., ., , them for? critically want to be lookin: them for? critically want to be looking at _ them for? critically want to be looking at the _ them for? critically want to be looking at the level _ them for? critically want to be looking at the level and - them for? critically want to be | looking at the level and impact them for? critically want to be i looking at the level and impact of social deprivation, raising this with policymakers and the time to understand. we saw these same trends during covid as well with latent health inequalities, so i think what is most important is the opportunity and access that we are for young people and the economic opportunity at that. so i think this is going to be able important piece of evidence

for us and helping to improve the conditions for communities across the country, and for a zara, thank you very much indeed. just before we 90, you very much indeed. just before we go, some breaking news, man has been arrested in gloucestershire in connection with the death of at least 27 people who drowned while trying to cross the english channel in a dinghy last year. that comes from the national crime agency, a man has been arrested in gloucestershire in connection with the deaths of at least 27 people who drowned whilst they were trying to cross the english channel in a dinghy last year. you probably did member that story. more when we get it, in the meantime, let's find out how the weather is looking. hello there. we've had a big contrast in weather conditions this morning. some areas have started frosty and sunny. other areas have started chilly,

but really grey, misty and foggy. and it does look like through the afternoon, some places will hold on to the low cloud and fog, so rather grey and gloomy for some. other areas seeing some lovely crisp sunshine, particularly across scotland, northern ireland, parts of wales, in towards the south west of england. but for much of the midlands and towards the east of england, it could stay rather grey and gloomy and misty and murky and quite a chilly day to come for all areas. [i to 9 celsius i think will be the typical high. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, it does look like the mist and fog will return to some areas, particularly for central, southern, and eastern scotland. where we have clear skies, there's likely to see a frost again, particularly out of town where we hold on to the cloud, the mist, and the fog. then temperatures generally between i and 5 celsius, so another chilly start to the day tomorrow with that low cloud, mist, and fog for eastern scotland and towards the midlands, northern and eastern england. like today, it could linger on through the afternoon in some areas. equally, we'll see a bit of sunshine around, particularly towards the south and the west. now, this weather front will bring more cloud to northern ireland and western scotland, with some patchy rain.

temperatures here, double figures. but elsewhere, it's going to be another chilly one. now, this weather front loiters around the north of the uk as we head through thursday. so the rain becomes confined to scotland. elsewhere, we're under the influence of that big area of high pressure over scandinavia. so it looks like the cloud and the breeze will be more abundant across scotland. outbreaks of rain here, but elsewhere, for northern ireland, most of england and wales, variable cloud, a bit of mist and fog around, but also some sunshine in temperatures ranging from around 7 to 12 celsius. we could just make 13 celsius there in stornoway, some slightly milder air moving in off the atlantic, but it does change. towards the end of the week we start to pick up a chilly easterly wind, so it'll be turning colder for all areas with temperatures actually below par for early december. and you can see why here — that big area of high pressure starts to exert its force a little bit

more across the country. we start to pick up a chillier easterly breeze, which will be a bit fresher across the south of the country. so you can see certainly as we head into the weekend, all areas will be in single digits and we could see outbreaks of rain, particularly in the north and the east, with a little bit of wintriness over the high ground too.

of both nations in the tournament. thousands of supporters have made the trip to the gulf for the match, which wales must win, to stand any chance of progressing to the last 16. this report from our sports correspondent, natalie pirks. happy and focused. england's final training session before their first all british world cup match was a relaxed affair. they know a win, draw or narrow defeat would still see them through to the last 16, and wales are a familiar foe. vardy is in the area. dele alli! daniel sturridge! sturridge scores! the last time england and wales met in a major tournament was the 2016 euros. england won 2—1. wales went on to reach the semis. this time, it's very different. of course they are going to be fighting for their world cup lives. but i feel like there is added spice around the game. i feel like if we are fully focused on ourjob and what we need to do, then that shouldn't be an issue. we know it is going to be difficult,

but they are going to be expecting a difficult game as well. we have shown we are a really good team in this tournament already, and for us now it is just about trying to take another step forward and trying to finish top of the group. team changes are expected by gareth southgate tonight, with fans hoping to see a more positive approach than the goalless draw against america. we've got to beat them, haven't we? it's got to be two three, hasn't it, at least? we've got foden, we've got the grealish... england! and i think, at the end of the day, what is going to make that difference is that bit of quality. i reckon it's got to be 3—1 england. it's got to be. on the beaches... # it's coming home! in the bars... and even the cruise ships, where some fans are staying... a lot of the england fans are starting to arrive on the deck. it is not only at home where things will come to a standstill. today, theirflags may fly happily side by side. tonight, though... come on, england! all bets are off. it's coming home! natalie pirks, bbc news, doha.

the sports minister stuart andrew has travelled to qatar for tonight's match. andrew is gay and has confirmed that he will be wearing his one love armband. he had spoken to a number of fans including laura mcallister, the former wales captain who was prevented from entering the stadium wearing a rainbow coloured bucket had during wales' first match against the usa. my bucket had during wales' first match against the usa.— against the usa. my whole point about being _ against the usa. my whole point about being here _ against the usa. my whole point about being here was _ against the usa. my whole point about being here was prior - against the usa. my whole point about being here was prior to . against the usa. my whole point - about being here was prior to coming here i met with a range of fans, particularly lg bt here i met with a range of fans, particularly lgbt fans, who felt they could not come here, they did not feel they would be able to enjoy the experience in the way they normally word, so i wanted to speak to fans on the grounds, including laura, to hear about their experiences and, yes, there were

issues and i think fifa need to look at this after the tournament. in fairness some of it has been dealt with very quickly but i think it is important for lessons to always be learnt when major tournaments like this are being held. my passion is inclusivity in sport for everyone and when you have a major tournament like this i want everybody to be able to enjoy it and where that is not happening we need to learn lessons. . . , not happening we need to learn lessons. . ., , ,, , ., , lessons. that was the uk sports minister stuart _ lessons. that was the uk sports minister stuart andrew. - lessons. that was the uk sports minister stuart andrew. let's i lessons. that was the uk sports | minister stuart andrew. let's find out more about what is coming up for england. we will cross to alex howell from bbc sport in the stadium. ., , ., stadium. how is it all feeling? the atmosphere _ stadium. how is it all feeling? the atmosphere is _ stadium. how is it all feeling? the atmosphere is starting _ stadium. how is it all feeling? the atmosphere is starting to - stadium. how is it all feeling? the atmosphere is starting to build, i stadium. how is it all feeling? the atmosphere is starting to build, it| atmosphere is starting to build, it is still quite early for fans to arrive that the fanzone are starting to build and the music is getting louder. there is some debate about the team england will play, there are calls to play more attacking

players following the goalless draw against the usa, there are questions over whether england captain harry kane will be playing following the first two matches and the scan he had on his right foot injury he picked up in the first match. the noises building up advance had spoken earlier, it is fighting say they are expected. yeah. well, i think we need a reaction after the usa game. i think southgate will eot the team up for it. it's a local derby, you know, we need to get a win, pride's at stake, but it's going to be a tough game. wales will be up for it as well, they'll be wanting to send england home. so we'll... we'll keep our fingers crossed, but hopefully we'll get a win. i think wales can always... they can always bring a surprise. the fans are going to be really up for it as well. i so, yeah, i think we've got to score first. i i think we've really got to score first. i hopefully better than the usa game, a bit of a bore draw with that one. so, yeah, gareth southgate's got to fire them up, got to get some attacking play going and hopefully we get a couple

of goals in front by halftime and then put it to bed and let the welsh get packing and on their way back home, yes, so... i hope it's better- than the last two games. l i feel like this world cup's been i very subdued compared to previous world cups i've been to. i don't know why that is, i but i'm hoping, you know, the england team will get behind... actually, no, come to think of it, i because it's wales england it should be a great atmosphere. two home nations. yeah, exactly. yeah, it's a local derby, so i'd be surprised i if the atmosphere isn't great. as you are hearing, fans are expectant and it will be a memorable atmosphere inside the stadium. both sets of players had spoken of the importance of this match and say that neither set of players needs any extra motivation going into the game. for england, gareth southgate knows england are in control of the group and a positive result will have them in the last 16, the knockout stages of the world cup. thank you, alex.

in their only other world cup appearance, in 1958, wales reached the quarterfinals — that feels a long way off as they're currently bottom of group b. this report from our wales correspondent, hywel griffith, who's in qatar. after waiting so long to claim their place, wales aren't ready to depart doha just yet. the dream ofjust coming to a world cup has been handed down through generations. for cathy and her grandchildren, it's still alive. we've pulled off a mission impossible before. i think we can certainly do it again. whether we can do it against england is another matter. we can hope for usa and iran to draw and for us to beat england i—o, i would happy with that. we keep playing it back. we need to play it forward more. we do have a chance. we have a good chance if we try our best. it's a daunting task, wales simply have to win. but, seen another way, they have nothing to lose. a bit of perspective reminds us that this is a generation of welsh players which has achieved what no other has managed for over 64 years.

since qualifying, wales's stars have shown only glimpses of what they can do at this world cup. now would be a very good time to force themselves to the foreground. but we are going be ready and give everything that we always do and there have few shocks already in the world cup and there is no reason why we can't do the same. the last time the two teams met at a tournament, wales lost but were the side which went the furthest at the euros. their captain of 2016 says that spirit can be revived. i think the guys know they haven't performed as well as they would have liked to, so it's a massive stage and maybe one last crack at it to perform better than they have. someone in wales could write their name into welsh folklore history forever tonight. that would give these supporters something to dine out for decades to come. hywel griffith, bbc news, doha. let's speak to hywel griffith.

he is live from doha. you had spoken to some of those fans in the build—up, has the atmosphere started to change? we are not far off, three hours if that?— hours if that? yes, everyone getting read , hours if that? yes, everyone getting ready. including _ hours if that? yes, everyone getting ready, including the _ hours if that? yes, everyone getting ready, including the lawnmowers i hours if that? yes, everyone getting ready, including the lawnmowers on j ready, including the lawnmowers on the pitch to make sure everything is pristine, to set the stage for a huge game. some of the wales fans i have been spoken to, it is fair to say expectation was dampened by the performance against iran, the 2—0 defeat that really made life very difficult for wales. wales are just enjoying this moment while they can. it is a must win but also nothing to lose, they can really go out and attack and maybe make england nervous. hearing from gareth bale in

the press conference, i think there is the not the press conference, i think there is the in not �*did of andiid of to maybe name for generation to maybe make a name for of from nottingham who yet on who yet o n stage yet on stage who yet on stage who has (et seen on the stage but who has huge potential. maybe, just seen on the stage but who has huge potential. opportunity. do will be the opportunity. they do say to lose will be the opportunity. they do say _ dangerous- e - will be the opportunity. they do say i _ dangerous. e i have makes you more dangerous. why have the experienced �* players not the experienced older players not been on the pitch?— been on the pitch? older is the ke ord, been on the pitch? older is the keyword, maybe. _ been on the pitch? older is the keyword, maybe. gareth i been on the pitch? older is the keyword, maybe. gareth bale i been on the pitch? older is the i keyword, maybe. gareth bale and aaron ramsay really shone in 2016, guiding lights for the campaign which took wales to the semifinals but at the last euros they maybe had magic moments but not a full 90 minutes. they have both struggled for pitch time over the last few

months and maybe two games within four days, particularly in the desert heat against iran, was a step too far. when you ask them individually they say they are fit and raring to go but it is maybe other younger players who might be the game changers for wales, if not tonight than over the next few years. in tonight than over the next few ears. , ., ., years. in terms of the heat, the practising _ years. in terms of the heat, the practising at — years. in terms of the heat, the practising at the _ years. in terms of the heat, the practising at the fitness, - years. in terms of the heat, the practising at the fitness, has i years. in terms of the heat, the l practising at the fitness, has that had some sort of impact on the team, do you think? what have you heard and seen? irate do you think? what have you heard and seen? ~ ., ,~ do you think? what have you heard and seen? ~ . ., , and seen? we ask that these questions — and seen? we ask that these questions very _ and seen? we ask that these questions very often, - and seen? we ask that these questions very often, wales | and seen? we ask that these i questions very often, wales had three games, the first was a late kick—off similar to this evening, the afternoon heat has gone, but against iran, although they tried to train for the conditions at around lunchtime joe hart train for the conditions at around lunchtimejoe hart time, it was lunchtime joe hart time, it was telling how the senior players were not quite on the pace. against iran, there was maybe a disadvantage —— at about lunchtime doha time. there

were no excuses, wales were disappointed with themselves, they feel they had been capable of giving disappointed with themselves, they feel t! this |d been capable of giving disappointed with themselves, they feel t! this |d bee be ipable of giving disappointed with themselves, they feel t! this |d bee be the rle of giving disappointed with themselves, they feel t! this |d bee be the last: giving disappointed with themselves, they feel t! this |d bee be the last chance more. this might be the last chance saloon, a final opportunity to show what they are made of. haifa saloon, a final opportunity to show what they are made of.— saloon, a final opportunity to show what they are made of. how have the fans found the _ what they are made of. how have the fans found the experience _ what they are made of. how have the fans found the experience and - what they are made of. how have the fans found the experience and pace? | fans found the experience and pace? we have heard a lot about the controversy in the build—up to this, but are they happy, has it positive, been will they hand around to see how england joseph wales lose? anyone who has made the journey to qatar i suppose has made the decision over the ethics and the expense of coming to doha. it is only those who make that decision and are here we speak to but they are largely loving it. a bit of winter sun, a different culture, i would not say the alcohol ban has made a huge deal of difference. when you hear the anthem they full of pride and passion. outside of the

stadium people have found ways in hotels. some people will say it would consider coming back for a holiday but most will be looking for the flight timetable, very few had arranged to stay beyond the first three games, they would maybe change their flights if they made it through, but if wales are going home at the end of this week, most of the red wall will follow them.— red wall will follow them. thank ou, red wall will follow them. thank you. hywel _ red wall will follow them. thank you, hywel griffith _ red wall will follow them. thank you, hywel griffith in _ red wall will follow them. thank you, hywel griffith in pace. i the headlines on bbc news... it's crunch time at the world cup for england and wales as they go head to head in qatar. the first lady of ukraine — olena zelenska — tells mps in parliament that her people are seeking justice for russia's invasion, accusing moscow of committing "thousands of crimes". staff mistakes in a private laboratory, where more than 39,000 covid tests were wrongly reported as negative, could have led to 23 deaths, says a report from the uk health security agency.

and we are crossing straight to doha, we arejust and we are crossing straight to doha, we are just hours away now from the big match. hello and welcome to doha, before we talk about the match is let's update you on what is happening in the current match is happening in the current matches being played in group a, synaeghel are beating ecuador i—0 and the netherlands had scored twice against the hosts, qatar. the talk of the day is group b, it is really crunch day for group b, every team a contender to progress to the last 16 but it is the battle of the british home nations, england taking on wales, it will be a local derby like no other, a must win game for wales

if they are to stand any chance of progressing. england need a draw to guarantee going through. kicking off at the same time are the old foes, iran and the usa, for the final match of the group stages. let's take a closer look at that game, there has been so much attention here on the iranians team because of protests around the world over by participation about them even being here, some people saying. they wanted the team to express solidarity with demonstrators in iran. anger at around when the arabian flag was changed on social media posts. talk of 1998, the last time these two teams met during a world cup finals. it was described at the time is the most politically charged match in the history of the tournament. america lost that match tournament. america lost that match to — one. we arejoined with somebody with a unique perspective,

and iranian—american, he was the assistant coach with the usa at the 1998 world cup and few years later he was the coach of iran, so he has a fantastic perspective on this match and the history of the teams. can i take you back to 1998 first when you were working with team usa, it has been called the most politically charged match of all time, how was it for you being in the dressing room with the players, what did they expect and how did you coach them?— coach them? firstly hello to all football fans _ coach them? firstly hello to all football fans around _ coach them? firstly hello to all football fans around the - coach them? firstly hello to all football fans around the world, coach them? firstly hello to all. football fans around the world, i think the world cup is a fantastic event bringing the whole world together and showing the power of the game. for me, in 1998! was a young coach at a very small local national team of the united states and myjob was scouting, bringing technology to the game and analysing

opponents and analysing opposing teams' performance, but! opponents and analysing opposing teams' performance, but i never expected to feel the emotions i felt that day, maybe because of my heritage, being born in tehran and being raised in america, that is a very unique moment in my life. the emotions were next because of course you love your birth country but also you love your birth country but also you are professional and you want to win the game field team and feel players —— the emotions were mixed. of course, and later you coach the iranians team, between 2009 and 2011. i wanted to ask about the political environment, there were controversial iranian presidential elections in 2009 and the team wasn't a huge amount of pressure. how to achieve and the players deal with it? —— and the team was under a huge amount of pressure. it

with it? -- and the team was under a huge amount of pressure. it happened durin: a huge amount of pressure. it happened during a very — huge amount of pressure. it happened during a very critical _ huge amount of pressure. it happened during a very critical moment, - huge amount of pressure. it happened during a very critical moment, three . during a very critical moment, three world cup qualifying matches in 11 days and the election happened right in the middle of those 11 days and i think were travelling to south korea after beating emirates and we had to win to qualify for the world cup. the images were on bbc, cnn and various tv channels of some violence in the streets and it was very difficult for players to focus and concentrate, the country was polarised with two different groups running for the election. for me, the game has always been my life, i think i have tried to always not be thinking so much about politics or being involved in politics, myjob as a coach and a football man try to help my players focus and play the

game. it was very difficult because suddenly some things came out before the national anthem, i don't believe my players really had the concentration to play the game at their best. we concentration to play the game at their best. ~ ., ., ., ., ., their best. we had to look ahead to toniuht, their best. we had to look ahead to tonight. what _ their best. we had to look ahead to tonight, what are _ their best. we had to look ahead to tonight, what are your— their best. we had to look ahead to l tonight, what are your expectations, which team do you think will triumph? i which team do you think will triumh? ~ , which team do you think will triumph?— which team do you think will triumh? ~ , which team do you think will triumh? ~' , , triumph? i think this will give us another opportunity _ triumph? i think this will give us another opportunity to _ triumph? i think this will give us another opportunity to see i triumph? i think this will give us another opportunity to see two i another opportunity to see two cultures and countries so far apart for the last a0 plus years, to use the power of the game to get to know each other better and i think education and exposure allows people to tolerate one another and learn from each other. this gain is important on so many levels, partly i think because the iranians players and coaching staff have been put in

and coaching staff have been put in an almost impossible position because of one—sided fate play to win they are playing for the regime, if they don't play then maybe they are playing for the people, but i think these players deserve to be left alone out of the political landscape and allow them to perform at their best and try to live their dream, which was to play football. of course all of the players and i think all humankind is for equality, forfreedom, freedom of speech think all humankind is for equality, for freedom, freedom of speech and thought, and they all feel for the youngsters that are being arrested or being put in these situations that nobody would like to see, and i think in the modern era all mankind is looking forfreedom. think in the modern era all mankind is looking for freedom. i think that is looking for freedom. i think that is one of the biggest needs of humankind. this game is very difficult for the iranians players

on an emotional and psychological side. of course the americans, it is easierfor them, they side. of course the americans, it is easier for them, theyjust need to get a result and win the game but i do believe because the american team is very young, they have very few experienced players, but a very talented group, they will play hard, they will pressure, they will try to get goals, they had struggled getting goals and i think carlos queiroz and his staff will sit back, wait and absorb the pressure and wait and absorb the pressure and wait for opportunities and counterattacks to score the goal. whoever scores first will win, i believe, i think the longer that the game stays 0—0 that there is a bigger chance of the iranians getting a draw victory. you never know what _ getting a draw victory. you never know what will _ getting a draw victory. you never know what will happen _ getting a draw victory. you never know what will happen in - getting a draw victory. you never know what will happen in this i getting a draw victory. you never i know what will happen in this world cup. your perspective has been so unique, thank you forjoining us.

millions of football fans will watch that match and there will be millions of others watching england versus wales at the same time, a crunch time as they go head—to—head in qatar. captains harry kane and gareth bale will hope to lead their sides to the last 16. let's speak to a husband and wife on opposing sides. laura is supporting wales and george is supporting england. how is the atmosphere in your household? probably going to be tense when i get home this evening, i think. hagar get home this evening, i think. how are ou get home this evening, i think. how are you planning — get home this evening, i think. how are you planning to watch the match? we will be watching it at home, we have a _ we will be watching it at home, we have a couple of friends over for the evening, i will cook some dinner and we _ the evening, i will cook some dinner and we will— the evening, i will cook some dinner and we will have a couple of years and we will have a couple of years and i _ and we will have a couple of years and i will — and we will have a couple of years and i will be singing for wales at the top — and i will be singing for wales at the top of— and i will be singing for wales at the top of my voice, probably. george. — the top of my voice, probably. george, have you got friends over to act as peacemakers? it is george, have you got friends over to act as peacemakers?— act as peacemakers? it is very difficult to _ act as peacemakers? it is very difficult to act _ act as peacemakers? it is very difficult to act as _ act as peacemakers? it is very difficult to act as a _ act as peacemakers? it is very|

parliament, government, my lords and the great nation of great britain, ukrainians are now going through a turmoil which will resonate with you. your island survive to aerate identical to those that russia uses now to purchase on our knees. we are hearing sirens every day identical to those which were heard by the british generations who did not surrender. and we will not surrender. and we will not surrender. and we will not surrender. and victory is not the only thing we need. we need justice. i came to you forjustice, because justice will lead to the end of this war, just as it led to the end of the previous war. it was impossible to imagine that the nazis which

remain unpunished, it was impossible to imagine that the londoners and the inhabitants of coventry, liverpool, birmingham, manchester, sheffield would indeed accept that those aggressors would avoid the courts and not be accountable for the terror. we imagine that we have to deliver the same and we need justice for our people who suffer from the missiles. i'm joined now by shashank joshi, defence editor at the economist. he is also a senior associate fellow. thank you forjoining us. the first lady speaking about looking to getjustice, asking the uk to leeds when it comes to justice. what can people like the uk do, what can nato do? the

justice. what can people like the uk do, what can nato do?— do, what can nato do? the most important _ do, what can nato do? the most important thing _ do, what can nato do? the most important thing is _ do, what can nato do? the most important thing is provide i do, what can nato do? the most. important thing is provide weapons. western weapons are fundamental to ukraine's military progress because ukraine's military progress because ukraine has mounted a formidable defence with its prewar stock of soviet and russian designed weapon systems that they are running shorter and more importantly the ammunition for those is running short. as you can imagine, nato has scoured the arsenals of its former soviet members, warsaw pact states like the baltic states, slovakia, romania, poland and it has found all of the old soviet culture ammunition, tank shells, surface to air missiles it can, but they are running outside ukraine has to shift wholesale to western weapons, particularly air defence systems without which the russian air force effectively has free run of ukrainian skies, and i think that question is becoming an absolutely critical one because we are now eating very deeply into our own

stocks of munitions in nato and we have not got very big stocks to begin with. this war is now a defence industrial challenge for ukraine's european and us partners. the ukrainian foreign minister has specified or given an idea of exactly what he means and want when it comes to air defences. he talks about iris, hawks, patriots and transformers, who has those? does the uk? no, not be specific systems you mention. the uk has other capabilities it has provided, including lots of anti—tank weapons, light guns it has purchased from other countries such as belgium, ammunition it has given a lot of intelligence assistance and support, but different countries have different strengths, for dubbing mixerfor example different strengths, for dubbing mixer for example germany, has condition to uk has been much maligned, is actually provided some vital air defence systems, both

short range air defence guns, absolutely paramount in ukraine's offensive back in september, and it is also provided one of those systems you mentioned, the iris tslm which can defend entire cities from nl attack. in other things are coming from america, france, ultimately the americans are the most important country here, because only they have the resources and the skill to provide everything that ukraine needs, but european countries absolutely have to step up, and ukraine are now beginning to ask allies who have systems but have not provided, for example the france air defence system, surface to air missiles, which says, we desperately need these, we know that you need them as well, but ultimately you will not need them for a while, whereas we are facing imminent continuous air defence attacks, so accept the risk and then over even if you then have to spend a few years replenishing your own arsenals. years replenishing your own arsenals-— years replenishing your own arsenals. ~ . , . ., ., arsenals. we are expecting to hear from antony _ arsenals. we are expecting to hear

in khakis and then the ukrainian offensive in which the russians vacated the right bank of the deeney drilled over a few months ago, were both enabled by attrition, that is ukraine inflicted such attrition on the russian faucet was then not in a position to hold that ground, and i think that is also going to be the ukrainian aim overthe think that is also going to be the ukrainian aim over the coming months, to inflict attrition among the russians. i was sailed and whether attendance of the upper hand, they have better supplies of winter weather gear, they have higher morale, absolutely vital in winter fighting higher morale, absolutely vital in winterfighting when higher morale, absolutely vital in winter fighting when conditions are austere and hardship result is absolutely acute, and i think the russians are now throwing empty untrained forces into the fight, particularly in the east of ukraine, where people with minimal training are being thrown into trenches when it can be sub zero at night time, so in that sense, i think ukraine has the advantage. however, there is one caveat to my remarks, which is that

we don't know how much of a success russia can make of mobilisation, and if it can use some of these enormous reservoir of manpower it has to generate offensive units in the spring, then i think that could produce some serious challenges for ukraine, right now that looks as though it will be a very tall order for the russians to do. ok. though it will be a very tall order for the russians to do. ok, shashank joshi from the _ for the russians to do. ok, shashank joshi from the economist _ for the russians to do. ok, shashank joshi from the economist and - for the russians to do. ok, shashank joshi from the economist and senior| joshi from the economist and senior associate fellow, thank you very much indeed. now a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. it's their first meeting at a world cup, and there is potentially, for both wales and england, a place in the last 16 at stake. tonight's match will help to determine who qualifies from group b in qatar, with the odds very much in england's favour. let's talk to alex howell who's outsdie the stadium. alex, last time out, it wasn't great,

so how might that affect what gareth southgate does with his team ? ——outside. that's right, the team were criticised for the way they played in that match, supporters have asked for a more attacking england in the scheme, which is called into question what gareth southgate may do with his team selection. manchester city's phil foden is one player who could come in, as well as kyle walker in defence. we may see jordan henderson play. the liverpool captain was alongside the england manager yesterday in a press conference. there is a call for more goals, and that leans toward england captain harry kane. his selection has been talked about leading into this match. he had a scan on that right foot following the first game against iran. he has not scored yet in this world cup. he won the golden

boot in 2018. but he has been speaking to the bbc about his own personal targets in the tournament ahead. wales on tuesday, get off the mark and hopefully get off and running in this tournament, but as always if it does _ this tournament, but as always if it does not _ this tournament, but as always if it does not happen, i am not going to be one _ does not happen, i am not going to be one who — does not happen, i am not going to be one who panics. i feel like my game _ be one who panics. i feel like my game is — be one who panics. i feel like my game is a — be one who panics. i feel like my game is a lot more thanjust scoring goals, _ game is a lot more thanjust scoring goals, whether it is a cyst or hold up goals, whether it is a cyst or hold up play— goals, whether it is a cyst or hold up play or— goals, whether it is a cyst or hold up play or defending, i feel i can bring _ up play or defending, ! feel i can bring a— up play or defending, i feel i can bring a lot— up play or defending, i feel i can bring a lot to the steam, and that is what _ bring a lot to the steam, and that is what i — bring a lot to the steam, and that is what i try— bring a lot to the steam, and that is what i try to do every game. —— assists~ _ is what i try to do every game. -- assists. . .. , ., assists. the england captain s-ueakin assists. the england captain speaking about _ assists. the england captain speaking about his - assists. the england captain speaking about his own i assists. the england captain | speaking about his own form assists. the england captain i speaking about his own form and goals in this tournament. the team will be arriving shortly, and it won't be long until the team news is out. the atmosphere is building here, and the england fans are starting to stream into the stadium behind me. both sets of players know exactly what they have to do, and what results they need if they want to reach the knockout stages of the world cup. to reach the knockout stages of the world cu. �* to reach the knockout stages of the world cu -. . ., ,,

other�*s managed for over 6a years. since qualifying, wales' stars have shown only glimpses of what they can do at this world cup. now would be a very good time to force themselves to the foreground. we are under no illusions it is going to be hard. but we are going be ready and give everything liket we always do, and there have few shocks already in the world cup and there is no reason why we can't do the same. the last time the two teams met at a tournament, wales lost, but were the side which went the furthest at the euros. their captain of 2016 says that spirit can be revived. i think the guys know they haven't performed as well as they would have liked to, so it's a massive stage and maybe one last crack at it to perform better than they have. someone in wales could write their name into welsh folklore history forever tonight. that would give these supporters something to dine out for decades to come. hywel griffith, bbc news, doha. the results in group a will

determine who's next for england, wales, maybe both in the last 16. those matches are coming towards their end as well, there's about ten minutes to go in each of them. the netherlands look like they will qualify top of the group, they are beating hosts qatar 2—0. two goals in three minutes on the other game, which is crucial should england for example come top of their group, they will play the runners—up in group a, that could well be a cynical, who havejust retaken group a, that could well be a cynical, who have just retaken the lead that was taken from them just before by ecuador. as things stand, the netherlands going through top, senegal going to second from group a. senegal going to second from group a_ __ senegal going to second from group a. —— going through second. james anderson says the change in environment for england's next test series won't bring about a change in approach. they're playing in pakistan for the first time in 17 years, with anderson the only one of that 2005 squad still playing for his country. the fast bowler has been central to the new aggressive style

under coach brendon mccullum and captain ben stokes, whose desire to go for a win whatever the circumstances may well be challenged by slower pitches in pakistan, starting with the first test in rawalpindi on thursday. we don't know how it is going to play. traditionally it is flat here, we have seen the test matches in recent times, i think the australia game, you know, it was very flat, that ended in a draw. we have a captain and a coach who do not want drawers. we are not playing for draws. so we are going to come out here and try to win the game, we might have to be creative how we do that, but let'sjust might have to be creative how we do that, but let's just wait and see how the conditions play. more build to wales versus _ the conditions play. more build to wales versus england _ the conditions play. more build to wales versus england on - the conditions play. more build to wales versus england on the i wales versus england on the bbc sport website. that's all the sport for now.

let's return now to the news that fewer than half of the population of england and wales have described themselves as christians for the first time, according to new data. people who said they had no religion increased by 12 percentage points, while the number of people identifying as muslim increased by 1.2 million. those who said they had no religion increased to 37.2%. more from leicester, one of the uk's first majority non—white cities. meet werner and her son, not by friend, bernard. she is 100 and he is 78. back then, racism was a constant presence in the city. if i seen a few white guys, i had to turn in the other direction

because they will attack you. it was a common thing. and they are more social with black people now and so on and we all, i think we all get on ok. the latest census data shows that leicester is one of the first british cities where no ethnic group is in the majority. a1% of people here identify themselves as white, the lowest of any city in the uk. but bernard believes not enough progress has been made to ensure all groups are treated equally. i'm happy to see leicester achieve, but i'm not happy to see what we have achieved. you see, it is subtle now, the racism is more subtle now. in those days we could see it, we knew it was there. maz mashru is a world—renowned photographer. so what was tony blair like? but in 1972 he was forced to flee uganda when dictator idi amin ordered the country's asians to leave. many of them settled in leicester, helping to revive

the city's fortunes. most of my good friends are muslims, sikhs, indians and we maintain that type of a tradition here. leicester is the most harmonious city in the whole of europe. demi is a dance teacher, born and raised in leicester by black caribbean and white british parents. she says her mixed heritage makes her extra proud of the city's new status. there is just so many different cultures, it allows you to not only be educated in that culture but also, like, experience and understand how they live, how they eat. a few months ago, groups of young hindu and muslim men and plenty of questions about harmony among different groups. and yet, for these proud leicester folk, that disorder is something they believe doesn't reflect the city as a whole or its future. ifeel privileged being in a city that holds so much diversity

and inclusivity as well. navteonhal, bbc news, leicester. personally i do feel sad that the numbers have dropped, but it is not really surprising, partly because it reflects a society within as the stories we have just been hearing, also i think it would be fair to say that over the last few decades, not so many people being taken to church as a child, or talked about christian faith as much in school, is perhaps we were certain when i was a child, and we ended each day with a player. so it is not so much in our culture as perhaps it was, and i also think that perhaps in the

past it was a sense that this was our default place, we take that we are christian, and that is certainly no longer the case. so i think the survey results are very interesting, and i think they do give us a snapshot of where we are right now in our society. snapshot of where we are right now in our society-— in our society. what do you think that sa s in our society. what do you think that says about _ in our society. what do you think that says about people's - in our society. what do you think that says about people's belief. that says about people's belief system, then? just because you're not religious, does not mean that you do not have a personal belief system. you do not have a personal belief s stem. ., . . you do not have a personal belief s stem. ., ., ., ., ,, system. not at all, and i think --eole system. not at all, and i think people might _ system. not at all, and i think people might take _ system. not at all, and i think people might take no - system. not at all, and i think people might take no religion| system. not at all, and i think i people might take no religion for many different reasons. some might hold an atheistic view, but many it is just simply that they do not want to associate with a particular religion, and that does not mean to say they do not have a spiritual life or spiritual seeking or that they are seeking wisdom for how to live life, and seeking kind of values in life, which for me is what my faith gives me very strongly, is that basis of values, of respect for all people, of wanting to live life

well, with honesty, with integrity, seeking justice, caring for others. those of the absolute bedrock of my faith, which for me is summed up in ajesus saying, faith, which for me is summed up in a jesus saying, love your neighbour as yourself. but many others also are living or wanting to live by values that hold us both publicly and privately to quite a high standard in our society. find and privately to quite a high standard in our society. and i su - ose standard in our society. and i suppose you _ standard in our society. and i suppose you could _ standard in our society. and i suppose you could say i standard in our society. and i suppose you could say that l standard in our society. and i- suppose you could say that exactly four some of the stories we have seen and sadly scandals, that have been associated with a number of churches, christian churches, the fact the public can now question and there is not now the silence, that you have to be deferential to religion, do you think there is a lot to do with that as well? i am not sure that _ lot to do with that as well? i am not sure that is _ lot to do with that as well? i am not sure that is what _ lot to do with that as well? i am not sure that is what the - lot to do with that as well? i —n not sure that is what the survey tells us, but in terms of the

transparency, i suppose one of the things i would add to that is to come and see what church is like for yourself. i think perhaps people have an image but do not necessarily know what a church community is like and what it is doing, and i could give you many examples from here in devon of how the church at the moment is really serving its community through setting up warm banks, food banks, are really trying to help those who are most in need. i also think there is an opportunity at the moment with christmas approaching, i was in exeter, we have a christmas market going on at just outside the cathedral with a nativity scene, people want to come and find out more, and i would encourage people to take up that invitation, if you like, that the church will continue to make, which is an invitation of faith and of a spiritual life.— is an invitation of faith and of a

spiritual life. and very quickly, it does seem _ spiritual life. and very quickly, it does seem that _ spiritual life. and very quickly, it does seem that religion - spiritual life. and very quickly, it does seem that religion for i spiritual life. and very quickly, it - does seem that religion for example such as islam seem a little bit more cohesive, whereas the christian religion seems somewhat more fractured. what is going on? i am not sure that _ fractured. what is going on? i am not sure that picture _ fractured. what is going on? i am not sure that picture is... - fractured. what is going on? i am not sure that picture is. .. i - fractured. what is going on? i —n not sure that picture is... i think of the religion has its different factions, if you like, or different parts to it, perhaps a more positive way of looking at it, certainly within the church of england, that we describe ourselves as a broad church, which means that there are people who will hold a range within that overall faith of our belief, will hold a range of views and so on. but yes, there's no denying there are different denominations, around the world, and the church of england, as i am part of, isjust one of those. england, as i am part of, is 'ust one of those.�* england, as i am part of, is 'ust one of those. 0k, thank you very much. it one of those. 0k, thank you very much- it is _ one of those. 0k, thank you very much. it is who _ one of those. 0k, thank you very much. it is who represents - one of those. 0k, thank you very much. it is who represents the i much. it is who represents the religion as well, i say, speaking to

a lady. thank you very much. the head of the food standards agency says school meals are a more important safety net now than ever, because so many families are struggling with the rising cost of living. professor susanjebb was speaking exclusively to the bbc, as the first checks are rolled out, on the quality of school lunches in england. here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. a hot meal on a winter's day. just once a week, pizza and chips are on the menu, so almost everyone has school lunch. there's a variety of different items which we can choose from. it's very tasty and delicious. don't forget to take some salad! well done~ — at the salad bar, the head teacher is coaxing pupils, trying to get them to try healthy options, too. i had a bit of, like, potato salad. but i didn't have, like, the actual green thing salad. did you have any salad today? er... ..no.

why not? because i like having the pizza without the salad. what would you say to the other people who haven't tried anything from the salad? i would say, like, try the salad because it has good, erm... ..it�*s healthy for your body. to put a meal on a plate is costing the school more than last year. the cost to schools of providing lunches is going up because of food prices. but, at the moment, they simply can't pass that on to parents because it would lead to too many opting out of a hot, nutritious meal of the day. cake or fruit? already, some families can afford fewer school meals each week. if children go onto packed lunches because parents are struggling to afford school dinners, the packed lunches aren't always of the quality and standard that we would want them to be. what we often see is leftover burgers or cold food coming from restaurants that are in the lunch boxes the next day,

which is not always balanced with the things that we would like to see, such as yogurts and cheese and fruit. the quality of school food has never been more important. now there's a new scheme trying out checks on standards. in 18 areas, councils are working with the food standards agency. speaking exclusively to the bbc, a warning of why this matters. i am worried that the cost—of—living crisis risks turning into a public health crisis, as well. and there's an opportunity, i think, for — in schools — for us to at least try to protect children from the worst of that by ensuring that the food they have in schools is healthy and nutritious. morning. at the school, food just past sell—by dates arrives. yeah, there's cucumber, courgettes, ginger. at pick—up, parents can help themselves — donating whatever they can

manage in return. there are families still who can't even maybe even afford those couple of pounds. and then if they have a word with me or let someone in the school know, i do have separate packs for them which they can just pick up, you know, discreetly, and no—one will know about it. i've had more families this year than ever where i've had to let them know where the local food bank is. is it nice? mm—hm!| eight—year—old alishah's dad is self—employed. they try to eat well at home, but the family tell me they can only afford a couple of school dinners a week. they're not heating upstairs, to help with rising bills. everything is up. every single item — even cooking oils, vegetables, fruit, anything you can buy. not having the same prices. every single day, prices changing. so that's why it's very hard to survive in a home. working hard to feed

bradford's children — this school knows many parents are struggling, with those in work — but not earning much — facing a hard winter. branwenjeffreys, bbc news, bradford. the queen consort has described violence against women and girls as a pandemic. part of16 violence against women and girls as a pandemic. part of 16 days being held by the united nations to address gender—based violence. here are some of what she has to say. welcome to buckingham palace. as we gather on the fifth of the 16 days of activism against gender—based violence. these are 16 days at the un's annual campaign that runs from the 25th of november, the

international day of the elimination of violence against women, to the 10th of december and the human rights day. throughout the world, individuals and organisations are coming together to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. why? because over a period of 16 days worldwide, more than 2000 women will be killed by a partner or a member of their own family. because in england and wales alone during that same period, police will record that same period, police will record that more than 3000 women have been raped. and because up to one in three women, one in three, across the globe, will endure domestic violence in the course of their

lifetime. behind every one of these statistics lie individual stories of human suffering and heartbreak. we are uniting to confront, rightly, what is rightly being called a global pandemic of violence against women. . . , global pandemic of violence against women, ., ., , ., global pandemic of violence against women. ., ., ., women. that was the queen consort s-ueakin women. that was the queen consort speaking earlier. _ now it's time for a look at the weather. we are in a cold phase of weather now, and over the next few days, we will hold onto some problematic mist and fog at times, submitted literary mornings. most of that lifting into low cloud, so some areas could be quite gloomy over the next few days without low cloud and fog windows. but some temperatures like today will be lucky and have some crisp winter sunshine around, but that fog becomes quite extensive again this evening and overnight across parts

of central and eastern england, and on towards the eastern side of scotland. elsewhere, we have clear the skies, and there will be fat chance of patchy frost, further west more of a breeze, a bit less cold for belfast, [i more of a breeze, a bit less cold for belfast, 11 degrees colder the further east you are. some dense patches of fog around, watch out for that. should tend to live through the unable to talk with them to lower class for some, so some areas like today is then quite grey and gloomy. best of the sample across the south—west quadrant, where we could be up to around 11 or 12 celsius here. bring in thick clouds to be west of scotland and northern ireland, patchy rain, but for most chilly and dry. so wednesday night, the chance of some fog developing towards the south of the country, where winds will be lighter. please picks up a bit more across the north—east of the country, some more power come out bits of them, so actually a fairly mild night. stornoway 10 celsius, further south and east chilly out. this fusion of high pressure oxygen towards the
