quite england and parts of scotland, quite a chilly day. mostly on account of this area of low cloud and mist and fog that loitered, suppressing the temperatures but big changes on the way. we are, over the next few days, going to lose this influence of the atlantic, the south—westerly winds and instead, as we look at the weather picture into next week, we get a big area of high pressure building over greenland and what that will do is cold, polar air south across the uk and that's in about seven or ten days�* time but it means some of you could be looking at the first taste of snowfall this winter, particular for the northern hills of scotland and we will have to see about that elsewhere. overnight, mistand and we will have to see about that elsewhere. overnight, mist and fog patches reforming and thickening and visibility down to 100 metres in places, particularly across central scotland where it looks murky and into parts of eastern england. patches of rust, may be —5 in northern scotland where we will see the clear skies and tomorrow, some
5:31 pm
of the low cloud and mist and fog will loiter like it has done today across central and eastern england and perhaps the central belt of scotland most at risk. where that happens, temperatures suppressed at four or five celsius, happens, temperatures suppressed at four orfive celsius, but happens, temperatures suppressed at four or five celsius, but otherwise western areas will see the mildest of the weather with temperatures around 11 or 12 in the mildest spots. a bit more of a breeze around, so perhaps a better chance of seeing a few more cloud breaks across parts of england and wales but for cloud on the way to scotland and thick enough to bring outbreaks of light rain or drizzle and we still see double—figure temperatures. it's towards the end of next week where we get the really cold air arriving. thanks. and that's all from us for now, you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. time for some sport here on the bbc news channel. hello i'm hugh ferris. we're 90 minutes away
5:32 pm
from a pivotal 90 minutes for both wales and england. their world cup group will be decided tonight with their first meeting at the tournament... with england in a strong position to make the last 16. the task is not impossible for wales... but they are currently bottom of the group... so rob page's side must win tonight and also hope the usa draw with iran in the other match to go through to the knockout stage. the last time wales beat england was in 1984. we don't look back at stax and one was the last time with meat england. we don't need that to need motivation to win this game. we are hurting as a group because we know we are better than what we are showing. that's a motivation we need at the minute. it happens to be england is a team we are playing against. i would england is a team we are playing against. iwould pick england is a team we are playing against. i would pick a team that is ready and will have a go. england's task is simple... if they avoid a heavy defeat they're through. a point may well be enough to qualify top of the group. alex howell has been with the squad and is now outside the stadium.
5:33 pm
alex where who you may already have a wink about the team news to stop what who do you think is going to be on the field for england? the official team _ on the field for england? the official team sheet _ on the field for england? tue: official team sheet hasn't on the field for england? tte: official team sheet hasn't come through yet but there has been speculation and gareth southgate hinted he would make changes to the starting line—up. to the one that displayed the first two games at this work up. the first indication was yesterday in the press conference. liverpool captain, jordan henderson was alongside the manager. he has spoken about kyle walker and attis back to full fitness and available in defence. there has been lots of calls for manchester cities for look forward into coming to the attack after england were criticised for the way they attacked in the game against they attacked in the game against the usa. there has been a debate around harry kane. he had that knock on his right foot in the first game. he has been speaking aboutjust how

5:35 pm
result to get to the knockout stages of the workup. those teams to qualify from group b, whether it's england, wales or both, now know who they'd play. the netherlands finished top of group a and will therefore take on the team that comes second in wales and england's group. cody gakpo got the first in their 2—0 win over the hosts qatar. he's the tournament's joint top scoerer with three. frenkie dejong made it two in the second half, as qatar end up being the worst performing hosts in world cup history. 20 years on from being quarterfinalists, senegal are back in the world cup knockout stages. they were level at 1—1 against ecuador in a straight shoot—out for that second qualification spot in group a. they've gone through as group a runners—up when chelsea's kalidou koulibaly popped up with a winner. 2—1 to senegal who will face the winners of group b in the last 16 — that's england and wales' group. james anderson says the change in environment for england's next test series won't bring
5:36 pm
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 thusday we don't know how it's going to play. traditionally it is flat here. in test matches in recent times i think the australia game it was very flat. it ended in a drawer. we've got a captain a drawer that don't want draws. we don't pay for drugs. we up here and try to win the game. we up here and try to win the game. we might have to be creative how we do that but let's hope we can see how the conditions play out. you can full fund how the conditions play out. you can fully fund bbc _ how the conditions play out. you can fully fund bbc one _ how the conditions play out. you can fully fund bbc one at _ how the conditions play out. you can fully fund bbc one at six _ how the conditions play out. you can fully fund bbc one at six o'clock. - fully fund bbc one at six o'clock. but there is a live page on the bbc

and half of the start of global war. it's a cultural front for each person who work in the opera theatre, for artists, for administrative, for musicians, for chorus, for everyone. the war in ukraine is entering a difficult new phase, with millions facing power cuts as a freezing winter looms. in spite of the many challenges, ukrainian culture continues to find its voice. tom brada, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with with that. hello there we saw mixed fortunes of weather today. some areas were cold but sunny stop other areas were chilly and grey and misty with some low cloud and a bit of fog lingering on and one or two spots. the next few days is looking pretty similar. it is staying chilly. some areas seen some sunshine and other areas stained grey with some mist and fog.
5:56 pm
but that fog develops pretty widely again through to tonight. parts of central, northern and eastern england into central, southern and eastern scotland. it could be quite dense in places as well. where the skies are clear a patch of frost. we will hold onto thicker cloud with the mist and fog no lower than one to 4 degrees. so there is a chilly start again to till tomorrow morning. there would be that dense fog to watch out for. parts of central, southern and eastern scotland. and northern and eastern parts of england. it could linger in places. all day. but most of it will lift into low clouds. some areas stay grey and chilly. but the sunshine towards the southwest where it would be fairly mild. 12 degrees. this weather front will bring thicker clouds to western scotland and northern ireland. where there will be more of a breeze as well. as we had through wednesday night will stop it stays quite breezy. further outbreaks of rain in the northwest. further south lighter winds. again a bit of fog and mist developing. where skies clear a touch of frost. but milder in the north west under that weather front and chillier further south. that weather front will be hanging around on thursday across the north of scotland.
5:57 pm
but much of the country will be under the influence of high—pressure. again the winds will be light. so a bit of a breezier day for scotland on thursday. the rain becomes confined to the far north of scotland and the northern aisles. for the south of scotland and northern ireland and for england and wales mostly dry. quite a bit of cloud around. some mist and murk and some foggy patches around. a little bit of sunshine here and there. again fairly mild towards the west. we are in double figures here. with chillier sort of day further east where we have a low cloud and some fog. towards the end of the week it is turning colder for all areas. because we are picking up a chillier easterly breeze. you can see the yellow and orange colours across the north uk. ebbing away as the blue colder colours take over. the breeze could be quite a feature towards the end of the week. through the weekend and into the following week across the south. so a chilly end to the week will stop quite a bit of cloud why limited spells of sunshine. we could see a few showers around as well. these may have a wintery flavour to them. certainly over the

hills in the north.

tthis is bbc news the headlines at six. fans are arriving at the stadium in qatar for tonight's battle of britain world cup tie — wales must beat england to stand any chance of going through to the last 16. health security watchdogs say mistakes at a private laboratory where more than 39,000 covid tests were wrongly reported as negative, could have led to 23 deaths. 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 he was for several before he was held for several

6:02 pm
let's speak to our reporter who is outside the stadium. explain where they sit in the table at the moment? absolutely, it is worth saying this match is being played in qatar, but it is a bit of a local derby. england and wales always had some extra spice added to it. this will be what people are talking about at work, school or the breakfast table tomorrow, but before all of that there is a football match to be played. we have just there is a football match to be played. we havejust summarised there is a football match to be played. we have just summarised that yourself. england, when this match and they are through to the knockout stages and will top the group. for wales to go through they will have to beat england and hope usa and iran ends in a draw. if it doesn't end in a draw, wales still can go through but they must beat england by a four goal margin. which, as the bookies would have it, is almost an impossibility but there have been several shocks in this tournament and that could be another one. this

6:09 pm
to appear at magistrates' courts tomorrow. simonjones, what is the backdrop to this. last thursday vigils were held here in kent and on the other side of the channel to mark the fact it was a year since the tragedy. but the significant development into the investigation. the national crime agency says working with its french counterparts has identified a key suspect. he was arrested this morning at 6.45 in cheltenham. according to the national crime agency he played a key part in organising that crossing that went so wrong a year ago. he is due to appear in front of westminster magistrates' court facing extradition to france tomorrow. the national crime agency have described the rest are significant. it says it is
6:10 pm
determined to do all it can to provide justice determined to do all it can to providejustice and determined to do all it can to provide justice and answers for the families of those who lost their lives. we have also had a statement from the home secretary praising the work of the national crime agency. she says she wants to see all those believed to be responsible face the full force of the law. but despite what happened, and so many deaths last year, the crossings have continued. even today, even though we are in november, it has been cold and foggy but the sea has been calm. we have seen hundreds of people being brought to shore by the border force. yesterday, 420 people made the crossing, an average of more than 60 people per boat. so far this year, 42,000 people have made the journey. despite the tragedy last year, despite the dangers out in the channel, the desire to get to the uk remains very real. tell us about the
6:11 pm
extradition arrangements, if that is how this case ends, simon? ultimately what we are expecting is this man is believed to be wanted by the french authorities. what will happen tomorrow at westminster is beginning proceedings. they often are fairly long and drawn but ultimately the aim from the french authorities is to see this man being taken over to france where he could face legal proceedings over there. but this is notjust a criminal investigation. they have also been investigations taking place, both here and in the uk and also in france, about the response of the authorities to the tragedy a year ago. because there have been claims that when some of the migrants phoned the french coastguard initially, as their boat was sinking, they were told you are in uk waters, you need to call the uk coast card. when it is claimed they
6:12 pm
called the uk coast card, they were told you are in french waters so it is up to the french so told you are in french waters so it is ufamilies french so told you are in french waters so it is u families of nch so told you are in french waters so it is u fam the of nch have told you are in french waters so it is u fam the of nch of have accused the authorities of passing the beeckarid believe that the buck and they believe that contributed to many of the deaths in the channel. those investigations are ongoing, along with the criminal investigations. it is thought many people are behind that crossing, so today significant arrests but the investigation is to try to find others, they are ongoing. simon, thank ou others, they are ongoing. simon, thank you very — others, they are ongoing. simon, thank you very much _ others, they are ongoing. simon, thank you very much for - others, they are ongoing. simon, thank you very much for the i others, they are ongoing. simon, i thank you very much for the moment. by the government have been scrapped from the online safety bill. including the labour party and the samaritans, say dropping the plans, is a backward step.

6:16 pm
this legal but harmful close has been removed because the government thinks it will reduce the amount of friction this bill will get as it goes through parliament. there is a feeling across westminster that this has to get on the statute book finally. because this is a policy area that goes right back to the end of david cameron's government when there was a green paper on trying to bring in new laws that will govern online safety and make tech companies accountable for their content. ideas were kicking around then. the scope of the bill massively increase the borisjohnson and then theresa may were discussing it. there is a feeling this has to be known now to protect the users of the internet to make tech companies more accountable for their content and this is the chance to do it. the government feels this is setting a world beating standard it is proud of and will put a lot more onus on the company is to be responsible for the company is to be responsible for the content and significantly increase the powers of ofcom to

police it. so by removing this clause they think it will give this bill a fair clause they think it will give this billa fairwind and clause they think it will give this bill a fair wind and has a chance of passing through parliament pretty soon. �* ~ ., ~' passing through parliament pretty soon. �* ~ ., ~ , soon. ben wright, thank you very much. speaking earlier, the chief executive of the essay, jenny harris, explained how they identified the errors in the immensa covid—19 test results. i'v e i've looked at the incident and try to imagine if i was a member of this community i would want to know what my true test result was. what we have been trying to do for several months now is get a reanalysis of tests. but having failed to achieve that, we are still trying. we have tried to do is take the right

precautionary access from when we immediately discovered the incident and we have tried to get a best estimate of what we think might happen. it is important that where we have these models data that does not translate definitively to an individual, family, infection or a death. what it says, this is broadly what might have happened and as you noted, we think it is possible that around 20 deaths may have resulted from addition infections and hospitalisation.— from addition infections and hospitalisation. from addition infections and hositalisation. , ., , hospitalisation. doctorjenny harris from the hsa- _ hospitalisation. doctorjenny harris from the hsa. matthew, _ hospitalisation. doctorjenny harris from the hsa. matthew, how- hospitalisation. doctorjenny harris from the hsa. matthew, how has i hospitalisation. doctorjenny harris i from the hsa. matthew, how has this come to light now?— come to light now? yes, it has been a lona come to light now? yes, it has been a long time — come to light now? yes, it has been a longtime in _ come to light now? yes, it has been a long time in the _ come to light now? yes, it has been a long time in the running. - come to light now? yes, it has been a long time in the running. my i a long time in the running. my understanding is this report was ready a year ago, but it has taken a long time to suddenly release this report on this particular day. the full scale of what went wrong is
6:19 pm
laid bare for us. in early october last year, we began receiving e—mails from viewers, including amber marshall whose grandmother was in a nursing home and she died of covid. they said they had been given the 0k covid. they said they had been given the ok but they had covid. in her case a carer had been given the all clear to work in that home. because this is the time before vaccinations were fully in place, so very vulnerable group of people. sadly, he went into work after being given the all clear and her grandmother died. today it appears they have done this computer modelling on how many deaths they feel it could have caused and they are talking about a total of 23 deaths. although this is not an exact science and not linkable to any particular individuals. other that case would be one in question. it was only a week or so, it was early october we
6:20 pm
got these e—mails. it was another week before the uk health security agency announced that tens of thousands may have received these false negative results from the lab in wolverhampton. it dealt mainly with people from the west and the south—west. and that led to this detailed investigation into the errors that took place between the 7th of september and the 12th of october last year. it concluded that immensa had set the threshold levels for tests incorrectly. so too many came back negative. in total, 39,000 pcr tests got the wrong result and it is estimated that led to 55,000 additional infections, 684 people needing to be sent to hospital and it is thought these 23 deaths from covid. at the time when the nhs was incredibly in demand, another 624 patients using those services, i am sure that would have had a knock—on

6:25 pm
should celebrate the courage and creativity the protesters have demonstrated, their desire to shape chinese society and determine the course of their own lies. what we have seen in terms of the reaction from chinese authorities so far is that there have been a number of arrests and widespread harassment from police in an attempt to tack down the protests. it is possible there will be an escalation in the crackdown, but that remains to be seen. ., ~' crackdown, but that remains to be seen. . ~ i. crackdown, but that remains to be seen. ., ~ ,, y crackdown, but that remains to be seen. . ~ i. , . crackdown, but that remains to be seen. ., ~' y . ., seen. thank you very much for your time. the world's largest active volcano, mauna loa in hawaii, has begun erupting for the first time in nearly 40 years. the lava flow is mostly contained within the summit, but nearby residents have been
