old foes iran and the usa are playing against each other in their first world cup clash since the 1998. at the same time — england takes on wales in what many are calling the �*battle of britain'. lets go straight to lucy hockings in doha. we are keeping across the big matches that have just kicked off. all the fans around here, some of them are showing the wales england match, some are showing the usa iran match. before we get to that, i have got to tell you the names of two more of the final 16 and that is senegal and the netherlands. they joined brazil, portugaland senegal and the netherlands. they joined brazil, portugal and france after winning against ecuador and qatar respectively. whilst it has been an absolutely brilliant run for

the african team, they have reached the african team, they have reached the world cup knockout stages for only the second time in history, theirfans went only the second time in history, their fans went berserk and the dutch go into the next round with an unbeaten record after failing to qualify four years ago. but sadly today for the hosts saw an end to qatar's dismal involvement. they will be the first host nation to exit the tournament with three group stage losses. they finished bottom of the group with no points. let's turn to these two matches, england versus wales and iran versus the usa. that is happening in group b, and must win game for wales for them to stand any chance of progressing and england need a draw. how about this for a pep talk for wales from one young fan in swansea. look, it doesn't matter if we win or lose, we've made history. we've overcome 64 years, the last time we were back in the world cup was back in 1958 and its glad to have it back in.

but if we do win, we might be on to the knockout rounds and that will make history for all of wales. so come on! come on! cheering. everyone in wales holding their breath. let's go to live. tomos morgan is in swansea. describe the atmosphere where you are? it describe the atmosphere where you are? , , . , . describe the atmosphere where you are? , , . are? it is 'ust as exciting as it was with — are? it isjust as exciting as it was with the _ are? it isjust as exciting as it was with the games - are? it isjust as exciting as it was with the games against l are? it isjust as exciting as it l was with the games against the are? it isjust as exciting as it - was with the games against the usa and iran. but there is a sense of anxiety and nervousness in the air. i have yet to speak to a wales fan who has predicted we would be in the situation and i need today that was looking forward to this game. nobody wanted to be in a position where it was going to be a must win game against the auld enemy, england across the border. alas, that is the

case but the fans just as usual bringing all the passion. the anthem sung just now with the same amount of passion, energy as the two games before it. as that boy was saying in the clip, it has been 64 years since we were last in a world cup so the fans here, whatever the outcome, they are making the most of the occasion. you can bet your last dollar or any money you have got left, if any goals go in later i am sure there will be some tables breaking later, everyone will be on them, singing and hoping and praying for one last roll of the dice. the fans here _ for one last roll of the dice. the fans here in _ for one last roll of the dice. the fans here in doha, _ for one last roll of the dice. the fans here in doha, the welsh fans have been incredible, people love them here and they have been singing and in great voice, so passionate and in great voice, so passionate and proud of the team. but there has been a sense of disappointment about the teen's performance, we haven't

seen the best of them. why do you think it is, what is the theory in wales as to why the team hasn't performed so far?— wales as to why the team hasn't performed so far? several theories, i will cive performed so far? several theories, i will give you _ performed so far? several theories, i will give you my — performed so far? several theories, i will give you my opinion _ performed so far? several theories, i will give you my opinion from - performed so far? several theories, i will give you my opinion from the i i will give you my opinion from the people i have spoken to and the pundits i have spoken to, i think there is an acceptance we have had an unbelievable decade, a golden generation of welsh sport between the welsh rugby team and the welsh football team. the football team specifically doing well. qualifying for the euro 2016 and reaching the semifinals. those three or four years between when the height of the years between when the height of the years when gareth bale at that point, the real madrid superstar, aaron ramsey, another key player in central midfield were at their best. this is the tail end of their careers now, gareth bale hasn't played consistent football for three years and not the player he once was and nor is aaron ramsey. without

those two players playing at their potential and at the level they were, this team is not exactly as they were in 2016. some have also mentioned tactics. i think it is the fact we are coming to an end of what has been a decade of a golden generation of welsh football, but also welsh sport in general as well. thanks so much. we will leave you to enjoy the game with the fans and talk to you later. it seems only fair to head to england. let's go to john donaldson are they quietly confident of an england victory? they are quietly confident. it is unlikely that england will lose 4—0 to wales, or by four goals. people have been asking what they think the

score will be and people are saying 3-0, 3-1 score will be and people are saying 3—0, 3—1 so they are confident. they hoping they are going to see the england that we saw against iran in the opening game rather than the england we saw against the united states where the performance was a bit more subdued. iam sure i am sure you are surrounded by fans who like to have their say about team selection, every england fan i have spoken to over the past few days has said they have got to play phil foden tonight, gareth southgate has got to put him on. it phil foden tonight, gareth southgate has got to put him on.— has got to put him on. it seems they have not has got to put him on. it seems they have got their _ has got to put him on. it seems they have got their way. _ has got to put him on. it seems they have got their way. what _ has got to put him on. it seems they have got their way. what else - has got to put him on. it seems they have got their way. what else have l have got their way. what else have people been telling you about the team taking to the field this evening? team taking to the field this evenin: ? ~ ., team taking to the field this evenin: ? ~ . , .,, team taking to the field this eveninu? ~ . , .,, ., team taking to the field this evenin ? . . , .,, . ., , evening? what people want to see encland do evening? what people want to see england do in _ evening? what people want to see england do in this _ evening? what people want to see england do in this game _ evening? what people want to see england do in this game is - evening? what people want to see england do in this game is play - england do in this game is play attacking football and go for the win. this is a bit of a derby match and beating wales is something all england fans would like to see. they are glad ben foden is playing. ——

phil foden. and glad they are not just going for the draw. the draw would be enough, but as they get into the next stage, it is important for england to qualify as top of the group, not in terms of who you end “p group, not in terms of who you end up playing in later rounds, but in terms of confidence. if we saw a flat performance or if they lost by one or two goals, they might still go through but it wouldn't be good for momentum. people here have been welcoming the fact that they think gareth southgate has gone for an attacking and a creative formation. thank you so much. there is another big match kicking off right now. iran versus the usa and the iranians have had a roller—coaster of a tournament so far, both on the pitch losing to england in the opening game, but then they came back to beat wales 2—0. it is what is

happening off the pitch a lot of the focus has been on. the protest we have seen on the street in major iranians cities, no doubt never far from the thoughts of the team. the players, the fans as well. the usa come into this match with two draws, so let's hear from an come into this match with two draws, so let's hearfrom an iranian fan he was looking forward to this game. i think they played probably the best they've ever played. obviously all the games i've watched in the past and what i do remember, iran at the moment have been absolutely amazing. i guess at the end of the day iranians, iran wants what everyone else wants. they want to be able to live in peace and harmony, you know, just have what we have, for example, in london, the freedom to be able to express ourselves how we want, and that includes not hurting other people, not being controversial about it. of course, with iran representing the world cup at the moment of course they want them to be their voices as well

and of course they want to have the iranian team represent what most of the people in the world are talking about. there is a long history between these two teams and the last time they met was in the world cup finals in 1998. this was described as the most politically charged in the history of the tournament. steve samson was the us manager at the time. , ., ., ., .,. time. there is no avoiding the fact that the united _ time. there is no avoiding the fact that the united states _ time. there is no avoiding the fact that the united states was - that the united states was considered by iran, when i say iran, i mean the regime as opposed to the rainy people. there are lots of iranian americans in the united states who love living in the united states who love living in the united states but it was the iran regime who considered us satan and fifa and the united states soccer federation came to me and the rest of the team and wanted to make it about football. it was difficult for us because quite frankly as a coach you

have to use every motivational tool that you have to motivate your team. and i opted to make it more about football and i ignored the political bits. ifi football and i ignored the political bits. if i was to do it all over again behind closed doors, not publicly, i would have maybe use the political bit more as a motivational tool. there is so much security in and around that match, plainclothes security guards and for us and all other families there was an enormous amount of security in the stadium itself. ,, ,,., , ,., amount of security in the stadium itself. ,, , ,., ., itself. steve sampson, former mana . er itself. steve sampson, former manager of — itself. steve sampson, former manager of the _ itself. steve sampson, former manager of the us _ itself. steve sampson, former manager of the us team - itself. steve sampson, former manager of the us team in - itself. steve sampson, former| manager of the us team in the itself. steve sampson, former- manager of the us team in the 1998 world cup looking forward to the match ahead now come in a goal so far in either match. ijust have to tell you, it is incredibly noisy here tonight because we are right by the saudi fan park. they play mexico

tomorrow in a match they have to win. the party has already started, there are so many saudis gathered, there are so many saudis gathered, there has been music, singing and celebrations. so many saudis have driven over the border and they had the most tickets bought. lots of saudis in town, very raucous. they can't wait for that match but it is a must win match against mexico. lucy, thank you very much indeed. build up already in full swing for tomorrow's games, but we are keeping a close eye on the playing right now. at the moment it is goalless between wales and england and england and goalless between the usa and iran. ifanything england and goalless between the usa and iran. if anything changes, england and goalless between the usa and iran. ifanything changes, i will tell you. the head of nato has accused russia of using winter as a weapon of war. it came as nato foreign ministers, meeting in romania, promised more weapons for ukraine and help to fix energy infrastructure damaged by russia.

russia is using brutal missile and drone attacks to leave ukraine cold and dark this winter. president putin is trying to weaponise winter. to force ukrainians to freeze or flee. he is trying to break the will of the brave ukrainian people and to divide all of us who support them. but our meeting here in bucharest is sending a strong message of nato unity and of sustained support for ukraine. also at the meeting, the uk foreign secretary james cleverly, who reiterated nato's unwavering support for ukrainians during the winter months: we have seen vladimir putin attempting to weaponise energy supplies right from the very start of this conflict and this targeting

of civilian infrastructure, energy infrastructure is obviously designed to try and freeze the ukrainians into submission. i don't think it'll be successful, in fact i know it won't be successful because they've shown a huge amount of resilience and we'll continue to support them through these difficult months. ukrainian engineers have been working around the clock to try to restore electricity in the wake of the last wave of russian attacks on the country's power infrastructure a week ago, which have left millions around the country with intermittent power in freezing conditions. ukraine's national grid operator today said the system is still producing a shortfall of around 30% of the power the country needs. here's nato secretary—general on what the allilance is doing to help ukraine with its power crisis. nato allies are providing unprecedented support. and today allies made additional pledges to nato's comprehensive assistance package for ukraine. this will fund urgent non—lethal support including

fuel and generators, helping ukraine to address the consequences of russia's strikes against their power grid. of course there could be fresh russian attacks on ukraine's power system. our defence correspondent jonathan beale is at the nato conference and outlined what the ukrainians are asking for, in order to defend themselves. when we have air defence systems we will be able to protect this infrastructure from the next russian missile strikes and they are definitely to come. unfortunately, this is the reality we have to prepare for. in a nutshell, patriots and transformers is what ukraine needs the most.—

needs the most. since ukraine recaptured _ needs the most. since ukraine recaptured cares _ needs the most. since ukraine recaptured cares on, _ needs the most. since ukraine. recaptured cares on, meanwhile needs the most. since ukraine - recaptured cares on, meanwhile the satellite image shows most of ukraine is pitch black and night. disruption to water supplies leading to long queues in the streets of kyiv and other cities. these people are queueing for water and provisions. it is around 2 degrees in kyiv right now but the coldest is still to come. that will be in january where temperatures may go as minus 6 degrees. january where temperatures may go as minus 6 degrees-— minus 6 degrees. weaponising winter and targeting — minus 6 degrees. weaponising winter and targeting civilian _ and targeting civilian infrastructure at a time of war is a war crime. it seems president putin's failures on the battlefield have now led him or his top commanders to take even more extreme measures to make life as difficult and as cold as possible for

ukrainians. i remember last year in the winter when the war started it can go down to —10 degrees. at the same time and in the same breath that president zelensky in his night—time addresses is asking for air defence equipment, he has asked for that for every day of this war and now he is asking for energy support, spare parts for diesel generators, gas supplies, help to get the power back online. we can cross live to ukraine and the dnipro area, where andriy negrych is distributing aid. thank you forjoining us, tell us about the work you are doing. thank ou for about the work you are doing. thank you for updating _ about the work you are doing. thank you for updating the _ about the work you are doing. thank you for updating the world _ about the work you are doing. thank you for updating the world on - about the work you are doing. trisha; you for updating the world on what is happening right now in my country. i am is happening right now in my country. iam in is happening right now in my

years in prison in 2021 in a politically motivated trial. it is unclear why she has been hospitalised. let speak to a journalist from belarus who speaks to us from poland. thank you for joining us, what do we know about her condition in hospital at the moment? we her condition in hospital at the moment? ~ ~ ., ., her condition in hospital at the moment?— her condition in hospital at the moment? ~ ., ., ., moment? we know that maria was delivered to _ moment? we know that maria was delivered to hospital— moment? we know that maria was delivered to hospital and _ moment? we know that maria was. delivered to hospital and apparently she had surgery. she is in intensive care but apparently tomorrow she will be transferred to a sort of ordinary department at this hospital. we don't know the exact reason. we know that before the hospitalisation she was taken to a punishment cell four again, unknown reasons. and her health really deteriorated. what is worrying is that she did not receive any medical assistance, any help while she was in jail so assistance, any help while she was injail so she ended up in hospital.

during the period of time she has beenin during the period of time she has been injail, how, if at all has maria been able to communicate with people in belarus? it maria been able to communicate with people in belarus?— people in belarus? it gets worse and worse with time. _ people in belarus? it gets worse and worse with time. she _ people in belarus? it gets worse and worse with time. she was _ people in belarus? it gets worse and worse with time. she was jailed - people in belarus? it gets worse and worse with time. she was jailed in i worse with time. she was jailed in 2020 but many people were unable to send letters and she was unable to reply. this year the regime is trying to isolate political prisoners even more. the only person she communicates with its her lawyer. she was able to see her father after a long time. but that is very limited, they did not deliver letters, they did not communicate with other people who tried to send some words of appreciation and solidarity to her because the regime wants them to be isolated. we know that when she was sent to this punishment cell her

lawyer couldn't even see her. this hospitalisation we got to know because the lawyer went to see her and the lawyer was denied a meeting. it's how we found out about the situation with the hospital. it only shows that political prisoners are being held in inhumane conditions and they cannot even see doctors but they will not communicate with the world to let them know what's happening inside prison. thank you for sharin: happening inside prison. thank you for sharing what _ happening inside prison. thank you for sharing what you _ happening inside prison. thank you for sharing what you know. - happening inside prison. thank you for sharing what you know. there l happening inside prison. thank you l for sharing what you know. there are some gaps in this story at the moment, but she is in intensive care in belarus. in the last few seconds of the programme a reminder, we are keeping a close eye on the welcome. we have two games in parallel, ran against the us and wales against

england. it is goalless in both. they are all looking to get the two spots in the last 16. if anything changes, you will be the first to hear. we saw mixed fortunes of weather today, some areas of cold, sunny and other areas were chilly, grey and misty with low cloud and fog lingering in one or two spots. the next few days, it is looking similar, some areas seeing sunshine and other stain grey with mist and fog. the fog develops widely again tonight in parts of northern and central england and central and southern and eastern scotland. it could be quite dense in places and where the skies are clear a touch of frost but we held onto thick cloud and mist and the fog and no lower than one to 4 degrees. chilly start tomorrow morning and the dense fog tomorrow morning and the dense fog to watch out for imports of central and southern and eastern scotland and 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 cloud. some areas staying grey and chilly and the best of the sunshine to the south—west and 12 degrees. this weather front will bring thicker cloud to western scotland and northern ireland and a breeze. 0n scotland and northern ireland and a breeze. on wednesday night it stays busy with further outbreaks of rain in the north—west. lighter winds and fog and mist developing and where skies are clear, a touch of frost. milder in the north—west under the weather front, milder in the north—west under the weatherfront, chillierfurther south. the weather front will be hanging around on thursday across the north of scotland but for much of the country we are under the influence of high pressure and the winds will be like. a breezy day for scotland on thursday. the rain becomes confined to the far north of scotland and the northern isles. for the south of scotland, northern ireland and england and wales, mostly dry. quite a bit of cloud around with mist and back and fog patches around. also a little bit of sunshine here and there. fairly mild

towards the west. double figures here but a chilly day further east where we have the low cloud and mist and fog. towards the end of the week it is turning colder for all areas because we are picking up a chillier, stronger easterly breeze. you can see the yellow and orange colours ebbing away as the blue, colder colours take over and the breeze could be a feature towards the end of the week, through the weekend and into the following week across the south. quite a bit of cloud around, limited spells of sunshine and we could see a few showers around and these may have a wintry flavour to them, certainly over the hills in the north.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. welcome back to the bbc news room. welcome back to the bbc news room. we are keeping a close eye on two games of the world cup in qatar. wills have to beat england to have any chance of going through. while they are playing iran and the us are also plain. those four teams are vying for two places in the last 16. it is currently 0—0 in both matches. if it changes we would tell you. we will be live in washington as it finds there. also process in china against the zero—covid policy there are the focus. the governments

agency is calling for a crackdown against it will cause hostile forces to stop thus we will talk about the situation in hawaii. the worlds largest volcano is erupting for the first time in 40 years. let's return to the football world cup in doha. iran and the usa are right now playing each other in one of the most politically charged matches in football history. it's fair to say geopolitical tensions are spilling onto the pitch. have a look at this. this was posted on twitter by the us soccer federation showing iran's national flag without the emblem of the islamic republic. instead showing just the green,white and red colours. they posted the image twice — before removing it. in a statement the ussfjustified the move by saying it did this to "support for the women in iran fighting for basic human rights."

this didn't go down well in iran. its football federation said it will lodge a complaint to fifa. state media went further — tweeting that the us should be kicked out of the world cup. this is the just the second time they've faced each other in a world cup. the first was in 1998 — in france. afshin ghotbi is iraninian—american and was as an assistant coach with the united states at that cup. he went on to coach iran's national football team. these are his reflections of that 1998 match. in 98, i was a young coach. with a small role with the national team of the united states. myjob was scouting and bringing technology to the game. and analysing opponents. and analysing our own teams performance. but i never expected to feel

the emotions that i felt that day. partly because of my heritage and being born in tehran. being raised in america. that was a very unique moment in my life. the emotions were mixed because, of course, you love your birth country. but also you are professional, and you want to win the game for your team. and for your players. 0ur north america correspondent is with fans in washington. i know mia. hi, yes these are hard—core american friends it's fair to say. this is bobby and his mates were watching the game in this pact dc bar. many americans here, i think. what you think of the game so far? ,, , ., , , ,, far? the us is really pressing? we're looking _ far? the us is really pressing? we're looking good. _ far? the us is really pressing? we're looking good. we - far? the us is really pressing? we're looking good. we just i far? the us is really pressing? i we're looking good. we just need a

think of the moments of the fence would take any goal it is 0—0 in the iran versus usa and england against well. i enjoyed the fan that said it so when scenario that's the case for all four teams. he was tackled by security guards and taken away. now qatar is saying all fans are welcome without his commission at this woke up. but homosexuality is illegal there.

let's hear an account of phil who is agape football fan from england. he is travelled to doha this is his sixth world cup. and he has been dubbed the secret friend. he is been sending comments on football. it does seem weird and there is a bit of unease. the strengths he was just like to live more in qatar as a 93v just like to live more in qatar as a gay man. he's been documenting his experience. in one episode he interviews a gay qatari. i should say the interview is voiced by it is

a very reductionist implication that queer people didn't apply onto these pressures were in us.— pressures were in us. people were alwa s pressures were in us. people were always here- _ pressures were in us. people were always here. there _ pressures were in us. people were always here. there have _ pressures were in us. people were always here. there have always i pressures were in us. people were i always here. there have always been always here. there have always been a local queer culture or subculture but it is not similar to what you will see in western countries to start. we don't identify with the rainbow flag. what does being essentially signified is the signal for gay rights with some and your thank you forjoining us. i for gay rights with some and your thank you forjoining us. thank you for “oining us. i wonder, as ou thank you for “oining us. i wonder, as you made — thank you forjoining us. i wonder, as you made that _ thank you forjoining us. i wonder, as you made that podcast - thank you forjoining us. i wonder, as you made that podcast what i as you made that podcast what was revealed to you about the ongoing experience about being gay in qatar? i should say there is a variety of views in cancers queer community about the usefulness and advocacy that has been happening in the context of the world cup. in general it's wonderful that so many people, especially in the media and activity circles and european countries and

america have taken him because. at that time in 2022 where gay rights are seen as human rights. and it is an issue at the forefront of every conversation. so that's wonderful. however, i think as i heard during this podcast. people in the local queer community who want the attention. i want to share in the government into doing something because they think it will work as a in other places. and then another perspective from other people in cutter�*s queer community who want their privacy respected. and have an allergy to any sort of neocolonial attitudes. anyone in the west, where there is michael share yours. basically shoving these values down the throats of very conservative population. in the podcast you will hear perspectives from two clear—cut saris. 0ne hear perspectives from two clear—cut saris. one who lives in the united

states and the other whose identity i have concealed with a height software, actually, for something you would hear things even i was very surprised to hear. i didn't expect to hear some of these opinions about sexuality and privacy. just a number of issues, i would encourage everyone to listen and their thoughts. in would encourage everyone to listen and their thoughts.— and their thoughts. in those conversations _ and their thoughts. in those conversations did _ and their thoughts. in those conversations did people i and their thoughts. in those i conversations did people describe and evolving situation? is the experience of being gay in cuts are no different from how it was ten years ago? tags no different from how it was ten years ago?— no different from how it was ten earsauo? a ., ., years ago? as someone who lived there for a — years ago? as someone who lived there for a decade _ years ago? as someone who lived there for a decade leading - years ago? as someone who lived there for a decade leading up i years ago? as someone who lived there for a decade leading up to i years ago? as someone who lived i there for a decade leading up to the workup. i can tell you that the image that is painted about the country in the media is not really something that i experience. part of the reason i didn't experience that is because of western privilege. there is a privilege bubble there, where if you had any american or british passport you can live a carefree and wonderful life. in one of the morse conservative corners of the middle east. he a seam in uae

for example where there are similar laws that are prohibitive towards homosexuality. so i think the situation now with no much attention on the local community is feeling that there is extra heat on them. i've heard it described as a witchhunt. part of recognising or privilege is recognised that once we go run out with the rainbow flag on a field. we have the privilege to go back to our hotels and apartments and leave the country. whereas members of cuts ours queer community who feel suffocated by cultural norms of the country are the ones that suffer the consequence so i think we need to centre local local queer voices are not centre ourselves in these narratives to protect the populations that need protecting. protect the populations that need rotectinu. ., ., ., ~ protect the populations that need rotectinu. ., ., ., ,, ., protect the populations that need ”rotectin. ., ., ., ~' ., , protecting. thanks for talking to us and ou protecting. thanks for talking to us and you we — protecting. thanks for talking to us and you we appreciate _ protecting. thanks for talking to us and you we appreciate it. _ protecting. thanks for talking to us and you we appreciate it. you i protecting. thanks for talking to us and you we appreciate it. you can l and you we appreciate it. you can find and use podcast by cbs.

the americans are scored 1—0 against iran. still— 0—0 with england against well. we will get to all the magicians about what all this means a decision. 0nce magicians about what all this means a decision. once we are in the other side at half—time we can do that. to china now. the country's government says it's speeding up its covid vaccination programme for people aged 60 and over. that's after widespread protests aginst china's tough lockdown measures — some of the most restrictive in the world. it's believed these pictures are from the city ofjinan. some demonstrators have even been calling for president xi jinping

today, we've heard from the chinese health ministry. translation: some citizens - and the general public say the major problems are the oversimplification of the prevention and control measures and arbitrary imposition of restrictions, and the one size fits all approach. some localities have arbitrarily expanded the areas and people to be put on lockdown, and some regions, without approval, randomly put 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. the unrest was triggered by the deaths of ten people who died in this apartment fire last week, in the western city of urumqi. some people blame strict covid restrictions, for hampering rescue teams. this was hong kong a few hours ago. students from the territory's top

university, held a vigil for the victims of the fire.the us secretary of state, antony blinken, was asked about the protests earlier — have a listen. when it comes to protest. the protests we are seen in china. the protest we are seeing for different reasons in iran to stop and in other places. or position is the same everywhere. which is that we support the people rights of people everywhere to peacefully protest. to make known their views, their concerns and their frustrations. remember, protests of this scale in china are very rare. they've drawn comparisons to the 1989 tiananmen square pro—democracy protests — which led to a brutal crackdown by security forces. have a look at the times front page from over the weekend — they call it �*the biggest protest since tiananmen'. this is what one author who took part in those demonstrations told the bbc

i think if the government had learned the lesson they've drawn comparisons to the 1989 tiananmen square pro—democracy protests — which led to a brutal that they need to crack down on any dissent or process quickly and forcefully. i expect there will be further complications, accidents and further anger. as even more cities go into lockdown. let's put this into context. this is about china's controversial zero covid strategy — which aims to eradicate outbreaks. local authorities are under orders to impose a strict lockdown as soon as a covid outbreak is detected. even if it's only a handful of cases. these local lockdowns last until no new infections are reported. those who are infected — either have to isolate at home — or have to quarantine at a government facility. like this one in shanghai. some have described conditions there, as poor.

given the mounting pressure — how likely is it that china this is the chinese ambassador was summoned after the british journalist was some beaten and kicked by police and held for several hours. chinese officials are saying he was detained as a precaution to stop him from being infected with covert. in response is that the bbc said we do not consider this a credible explanation. and this a credible explanation. and this is the chinese foreign ministry. translation: this bbc journalist translation: this bbc “ournalist refused to cooperate i translation: this bbc journalist refused to cooperate with - translation: this bbc journalist refused to cooperate with chinese| refused to cooperate with chinese authority efforts. then he acted as if he was a victim. the bbc immediately twisted the story. and the massive leap propagated the narrative that it's journalist had

been arrested and beaten by police while he was working. simply to try to beat china as the guilty party. this is all too familiar as part of the bbc�*s distasteful playbook. there are some echoes with the last big moments of process in china which was 1989 when people were frustrated over inflation, pressures of corruption, frustrated over hull series of daily life. issues. and that spilt over into frustration with the system. we've seen some calls in the same way that people are absolutely fed up after three years, in some cases, highly abusive

covert measures. don't see he covert measures. don't see be getting anywhere. that has spilt over criticism of the party and of the leader. what's very different is that these process are in major cities are not focused as kinnaman was in major square in beijing. and that occupation went on for weeks with the beat. with argument, with all kinds of attractive and interesting moments. this is much more scattered and it is being closed down much more quickly. we are in an age of digital surveillance. and this is going to be a test of how effective china's digital surveillance is. eyre be a test of how effective china's digital surveillance is.— digital surveillance is. are you sur - rised digital surveillance is. are you surprised that _ digital surveillance is. are you surprised that the _ digital surveillance is. are you surprised that the chinese i digital surveillance is. are you i surprised that the chinese president has not offered a more clear roots out of covert? i has not offered a more clear roots out of covert?— out of covert? i think there's been a lot of very _

out of covert? i think there's been a lot of very bad _ out of covert? i think there's been a lot of very bad planning - out of covert? i think there's been a lot of very bad planning in i out of covert? i think there's been | a lot of very bad planning in china. they've spent an awful lot of money on mass testing and facilities which please nobody. and in some cases aren't used. so these big emergency hospitals and quarantine centres which are primitive in a lot of ways. they really should have been put in more focus into vaccination. even with china's rather less effective vaccines. you get enough of them into the arms of the elderly and then you're safer to try to open up. but that hasn't happened. so instead of that we had this kind of chasing rabbits across the landscape. trying to eliminate covert altogether. it's just not going to happen. and there doesn't seem to have been a plan b at all. so now we have a crisis. this policy isn't working. and the exit is unattractive however you look at it.

if after all this we do have a lot of gas in china that would be very difficult for the government. on the other hand, keeping things lock down doesn't seem to be a good option. i'm expecting some calibration of the policy. an accelerated vaccination programme and a crackdown on people were complaining. an outside source will talk about the largest booking in hawaii and the largest booking in hawaii and the first time in years it is erupting. kemper say that online see if which is about regulating what you can see and see online has been watered down. angus crawford reports. it was molly russert —

verses was at but the us are 1—0 up against iran. half—time at both games. let's turn to hawaii. the worst largest booking has erupted for the first time in almost 40 years. this volcano has been erupting since monday. lava is at the moment contained within the summit. as you can imagine scientists are warning the situation could change rapidly. these are some of the aerial pictures we have. the volcano is above 4000 metres above sea level. and spends an area of 5000 square miles. in total, it is erupted more than 33 times. that speak to doctorjessica johnson's agf is is who has worked in the half in booking or observatory. and she's live with us. thank you for your time. how do we explain this eruption why is it happening now do you think?

observatory is monitoring. there will be creating models to train forecast where the flows might go. and people are ready to evacuate if it comes to that. i’m and people are ready to evacuate if it comes to that.— it comes to that. i'm went up to leave it there _ it comes to that. i'm went up to leave it there because - it comes to that. i'm went up to leave it there because of - it comes to that. i'm went up to leave it there because of the i it comes to that. i'm went up to i leave it there because of the rights of against the end of the programme. so this is that is going with perhaps we can come back and talk to us that is longer. thank you for joining us on outside source. a reminder of where we got to with the football. at the moment it is the us leading around 1—0 in england wills are drawing. if it stays that way england and the us will go through to the last 16 of the work up. but there is some distance to go. remember you can watch both games through the bbc live page. bbc one splash sport is where you can go to for that. and thank you for watching this addition of outside source. we will be back at the usual time

tomorrow. goodbye. hello there we saw hello there. we saw mixed fortunes of weather today. some areas were sunny other areas were rather gray. but all places were pretty chilly even where you had the sunshine. next days are pretty similar. some areas staying gray with some patchy mist and fog. other areas seeing the sunshine. and only a little bit of rain in the forecast as this weather front starts to move in. overnight, tonight we will start to see fog developing quite widely. central and southern and eastern scotland and central and east in england. some of it could be quite dense in places. where skies are clear, it will be chilly with some frost around. it is a chilly start to wednesday morning. watch out for some dense fog, first thing.

a good lingering places all but mostly would lift into low cloud some areas then grow and surely. some gentle words of southwest will be fairly mild with this weather front moving to clothes there would be more of a breeze sub as we had through wednesday night it stays quite breezy for the outbreaks of rain in the northwest. the south lighter winds and a bit of fog and mist developing. and where skies clear a touch of frost. but mother in the northwest under that weather front chillier further south. across the north of scotland much of the country it would be under influence of high—pressure the wings would be that. i breezy or deep for scotland on thursday. the rain becomes confined to the far north of scotland and the northern as. for the south of scotland and northern ireland and for england wills mostly dry. quite a bit of cloud around some mist on murk and foggy patches as well. also a bit of sunshine here and there. fear is out towards the

west and we are in double figures here with the chillier sort of day further east where we have the low cloud and fog. toward the end of the week it is turning colder for all areas because were kicking up a chillier, stronger easterly breeze. you can see the colours coming across the uk slowly ebbing away as across the uk slowly ebbing away as a blue colder colours coming. it would be a future towards the end of the week and the weekend. actually end to the week quite a bit of clutter on limited spells of sponsoring a few showers started our own as well. let me have a wintery flavour to them. certain certainly for the hills in the north.

hello, i'm ros atkins. this is outside source. two crucial world cup matches are under way in qatar: wales must beat england to stand any chance of going through. it is 0-0 it is 0—0 in that game. while the us and iran are fighting for a place in the last 16 — it's currently 0—0 in both matches. we'll be live in washington for fan reaction there. also on the programme: the nato chief accuses russia of using winter as a weapon of war in ukraine, after repeatedly targeting its power grid:

president putin is trying to weaponize winter, to force ukrainians to freeze or flee. and the bela rusian and the belarusian leader is in intensive care. we will talk to her sister. we're going to start in qatar — where two major world cup matches are under way. four teams are right now competing for a place in the final 16. old foes iran and the usa are playing against each other in their first world cup clash since the �*90s. at since the �*90s. the moment it is 1—0 the americans. at the same time — england takes on wales in what many are calling the �*battle of britain'. at the moment no goals in that game. and we can hearfrom our correspondent, tomos morgan in swansea. well, it's just as excited as it was game against the usa and iran.

but to be honest, there is a sense of anxiety and nervousness in the air because i am yet to speak to a wales fan that predicted that we would be in the situation and any today there was looking forward to this game, because nobody wanted to be in a position where it was going to he must win game against the auld enemy, england across the border. alas, that is the case. however fans just as usual bringing all of the passion. so, just now with the same amount of passion, energy as the two games before it. they're saying it has been decades, 64 years since the last world cup so whatever the outcome tonight they are making the most of the occasion and you can bet your last dollar if there are any goals in, any goals go in later i am sure there will be some tables breaking later.

everyone will be on them, standing, singing, hoping, praying for one last roll of the dice on gareth bale's men. there was thomas with welsh fans. and jon donnison, gauging england fans's mood on london's oxford street. they are quietly confident i have to say, certainly of england qualifying, because never say never but it's pretty unlikely i think that england lose 4—0 to wales or by four goals. so i've been asking people what they think the score will be i think a lot of people are saying 3—0, 3—1. so they are confident. people are hoping they're going to see the england we saw against iran in a fantastic game when england won 6—2 rather than the england we saw against the united states, where the performance was a bit more subdued. turning to the other match, the iranians have had rather the roller—coaster of a tournament so far both on the pitch —

losing 6—2 to england and beating wales 2—0 — got goals right at the end of the match if you saw that. the protests on the streets of major iranian cities no doubt never far from their thoughts. meanwhile, the usa come into this match with two draws. we can hearfrom one iranian fan who was looking forward to this game. i think they have played probably the best they have ever played. obviously, all of the games i have watched in the past and what i do remember, iran at the moment has been absolutely amazing. i guess, at the end of the day, iranians in iran they want what everyone else wants, they want to be able to live in peace and harmony and just have what we have for example, in london, the freedom to be able to express ourselves how we won. that includes not hurting other people, not being controversial about it and of course, with iran representing the world cup the world cup at the moment, of course they want have them

to be their voices as well. and of course they want to have the iranian team represent what most of the people in the world are talking about. there's a long history between these two teams — the last time they met during the world cup finals was in 1998 in a match described at the time as "the most politically charged in the history of the tournament". steve sampson was the us manager at that time. there was no avoiding the fact that there... well, the united states was considered by iran and when i say by iran i mean the iran regime as opposed to the iranian people. there's a lot of iranian americans in united states that love living in the united states but it was the iran regime that considered us a great satan and fifa and the united states soccer federation came to me and the rest of the team and wanted to make it about football. and it was very difficult for us because quite frankly, as a coach, you have to use every motivational tool that you have to motivate your team.

and i opted to make it more about football and i ignored the political piece, but if i was to do all over again i would have, behind closed doors, obviously not publicly, i would have may be, use the political piece more as motivation to move forward. there was so much security in around that match they were plain—clothes security guards. for us and all of our families, there was enormous amounts of security in the stadium itself. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal is with fans in washington. i'm guessing the mood is pretty good. it i'm guessing the mood is pretty aood. , , , ,., good. it is very good but it is also very nervy- _ good. it is very good but it is also very nervy- jake. _ good. it is very good but it is also very nervy- jake. l— good. it is very good but it is also very nervy. jake, i can _ good. it is very good but it is also very nervy. jake, i can feel- good. it is very good but it is also very nervy. jake, i can feel the i very nervy. jake, i can feel the tension. you are quite exhausted, aren't you? already, at half—time. there is nothing like an emotional roller—coaster in a world cup. we

games, iran versus us and england versus wales continue. the head of nato has accused russia of using winter as a weapon of war. foreign ministers of the nato defence alliance are meeting in romania — where they've promised more weapons for ukraine and help to fix energy infrastructure damaged by russia. this is the nato secretary general, jens stoltenberg. russia is using brutal missile and drone attacks to leave ukraine cold and dark this winter. president putin is trying to weapon eyes winter, to force ukrainians to freeze or flee. he is trying to break the will of the brave ukrainian people and to divide all of us who support him. but our meeting here is sending a strong message of nato unity.—

meeting here is sending a strong message of nato unity. there was the secretary general _ message of nato unity. there was the secretary general of _ message of nato unity. there was the secretary general of nato. _ message of nato unity. there was the secretary general of nato. just - secretary general of nato. just before we continue i should mention that england have just taken the lead against wales. that is how that went down with some england fans in one fun park. we have got england 1-0 one fun park. we have got england 1—0 up. they were already looking reasonably secure to go through they will definitely be secure now that will give them seven points and put them top of the group. marcus rash that was the scorer. 1—0 up that was the scorer. england 1—0 up 115.5 mean the income that was the scorer. england 1—0 up 11135 mean the income and that would mean the income and qualified top of the group and the would qualify second in the us would qualify second in the group. bear in mind wales have to win to have any hope of going through so they need to score at least two goals if not more. we will keep you posted but usa and england leading in those games at the moment. wejust heard leading in those games at the moment. we just heard from the nato

secretary. also at the meeting is the uk foreign secretary james cleverly. this was his message. we have seen vladimir putin attempting to weaponise energy supplies right from the very start of this conflict and this targeting of civilian infrastructure, energy infrastructure is obviously designed to try and freeze the ukrainians into submission. i don't think it'll be successful, in fact i know it won't be successful because they've shown a huge amount of resilience and we'll continue to support them through these difficult months. while nato ministers meet here in bucharest. in ukraine, engineers are trying to restore electricity damaged in the wave of russian attacks last week. millions around the country have intermittent power — and conditions are freezing. today ukraine's national grid operator said the system is producing at 70% capacity. here's nato's secretary—general on the power crisis.

nato are provided support and they unprecedented support and today they have made additional pledges make unprecedented support and today they have me foradditional pledges make unprecedented support and today they have me for ukraine. pledges make unprecedented support and today they have me for ukraine. this iges make unprecedented support and today they have me for ukraine. this will make unprecedented support and today they have me for ukraine. this will fund ake urgent non—lethal support including helping ukraine full and generators, helping ukraine to address the consequences of russia's strikes against their power grid. of course the concern here is another wave on russian attacks. also at the nato meeting was ukraine's foreign minister — he described what ukraine needs to defend itself: when we have air defence systems we will be able to protect this infrastructure from the next russian missile strikes and they are definitely to come. unfortunately, this is the reality we have to prepare for. so, in a nutshell, patriots and transformers is what ukraine needs the most.

while that meeting is happening in romania — in london — ukraine's first lady olena zelenska has been addressing parliament. she told mps ukrainians are going through a terror similar to what the uk experienced during world war two: translation: ukrainians are now going through a terror which will resonate with you. surviving air raids which were identical to those that russia uses now to put us on our needs. we are hearing silent every day. identical to those which were hurt by the british generations who did not surrender and we will not surrender. but victory is not the only thing we need. we need justice. the only thing we need. we need 'ustice. �* , ., justice. and in the standing ovation she called for— justice. and in the standing ovation she called for the _ justice. and in the standing ovation she called for the world _ justice. and in the standing ovation she called for the world communityj she called for the world community to unite a special tribunal against russia's aggression towards ukraine. well, let's update you on the state

of the conflict. since ukraine recaptured kherson in mid—november, fierce fighting continues on both the southern and eastern fronts, but offensives have been slowed by freezing weather conditions. so russia has been attacking ukraine's energy infrastructure. this is the impact. you can see from this satellite image that most of ukraine is in pitch black at night. power cuts and disruption to water supplies have led to long queues in the streets of kyiv and other cities for provisions and water. there is accused in kyiv we have seen cues in other cities are well. it's about 2 degrees in kyiv right now. january is the coldest month — when temperatures get to as low as —6. let's turn to the dnipro region he is currently on a mission to distribute aid including clothes and blankets and he's been telling us about the work he has been doing.

thank you for updating the world on what is happening right now here in my country. now i am into dnipro region and we are on our way to our mission to zaporizhzhia region. as you can see i there is no light and i'm using my flashlightjust to not be in the darkness. it's tough conditions and as all the speakers called before, putin is trying to weapon eyes winter and we are all now keeping this battle against cold and darkness. this battle against cold and darkness-— this battle against cold and darkness. ., ~ ., ., ., this battle against cold and darkness. ~ ., ~ ., ., ., darkness. what kind of a do you need at the moment? _ darkness. what kind of a do you need at the moment? now, _ darkness. what kind of a do you need at the moment? now, most - darkness. what kind of a do you need | at the moment? now, most important su lies at the moment? now, most important supplies are — at the moment? now, most important supplies are of — at the moment? now, most important supplies are of course _ at the moment? now, most important supplies are of course generators i supplies are of course generators and all possible things which could

which is erupting for the first time in 40 years. at 11 o'clock this morning just half a metre of rock separated britain from continental europe. it took the drills a few moments to cut through the final obstacle. then they were

shaking hands and exchanging flags. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story comes from the world cup. two important matches playing out at the moment. england lead wales 2—0. the us are 1—0 up against iran. let's turn to some news out of belarus in eastern europe. it's a country of 9 million and shares a border with russia — the two are close allies. in 2020, we saw scenes like this — street protests against the country's leader, alexander lukashenko. today, we're hearing that opposition leader maria koles—nikova is in intensive care unit in hospital.

she was the only leading opposition figure to stay in belarus during those protests. you may remember — she was taken by force to the ukrainian border — because officials wanted her to leave the country, but she tore up her passport to avoid leaving belarus. she was then sentenced to 11 years injail in 2021 in a politically—motivated trial. it's unclear why she's been hospitalised. let's been hospitalised. speak to her sister who is live let's speak to her sister who is live with me now from paris. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. what can you tell us about your sister's health, please?- sister's health, please? hello. yesterday _ sister's health, please? hello. yesterday we _ sister's health, please? hello. yesterday we got _ sister's health, please? hello. yesterday we got to _ sister's health, please? hello. yesterday we got to know i sister's health, please? hello. | yesterday we got to know from resources that my sister, maria koles—nikova is in a clinical hospital and the cause is unknown actually until now. the lawyer was able to visit the hospital to check the information and he had just got approval that she is there. that she was brought yesterday there, with surgery apology and there was a

surgery apology and there was a surgery yesterday also. and now, she is in stable condition. so, we don't know the reason still. i would like to admit before that maria koles—nikova she was put on a punishment cell, we got to know about it about ten days ago. when the lawyer visited her she said to him that probably she will be punished. it is solitary confinement for political prisoners, usually ten daysin for political prisoners, usually ten days in very poor conditions. it can be very cold there, elliptical prisoners are missing simple stuff, toothpaste, they sleep on bed learning. —— matt glennon. so we don't know whether her surgery and her condition now has some relation to being in a punishment cell. so, i hope that we will have some

information tomorrow and that the lawyer will be allowed to have some information and some details from her. . , ., information and some details from her. ., , ., ., information and some details from her. ., ., ., , information and some details from her. . ., ., i, her. have you or your family been able to have _ her. have you or your family been able to have any _ her. have you or your family been able to have any communication l her. have you or your family been i able to have any communication with the doctors who are treating her? it was possible to get some... very restrictive information that she is there and she had the surgery. they didn't provide such information by telephone. i hope that he will be able to know more tomorrow. unfortunately, he will not be able to visit or see her because even though she is in the hospital, she is under the same restrictions and rules as she that visits from relatives are very restricted. thank ou ve relatives are very restricted. thank you very much _ relatives are very restricted. thank you very much indeed _ relatives are very restricted. thank you very much indeed for - relatives are very restricted. thank you very much indeed for talking i relatives are very restricted. thank you very much indeed for talking to

us. hersister, maria koles—nikova is being treated in hospital in belarus. now, next to hawaii, the world's largest active volcano has erupted for the first time in almost 40 years. the volcano is located inside of hawaii's national park. it began erupting on monday, at the moment it is contained within the summit but scientists are saying that the situation is volatile and could change quickly. as you can imagine people living there have been put on high alert. these pictures give you a scale of what is happening, this volcano is huge, over 4000 metres above sea level. spans an area of over 5000 miles. in total it is erupted over 33 times.

early i spoke to a geophysicist who has worked at the hawaii volcano observatory and she talked me through what is going on right now. when a volcano is active and is classified as active even when it is not erupting. that means it does have magma supplied to it. at all times. so, it wasjust have magma supplied to it. at all times. so, it was just a have magma supplied to it. at all times. so, it wasjust a matter of times. so, it wasjust a matter of time really before it erupted again. in terms of how the area around the volcano may be impacted in the coming days and weeks, how would the authority is an eruption like this? well, the hawaiian observatory is monitoring it very closely as they always do. and the great thing about the way that this is being managed is that the people of hawaii have lived with volcanic hazards and eruptions forever. and there is a very good relation between the

hawaiian volcano observatory, the civil defence and the communities. so, they speak the same language, they know how to deal with these things. so, the observatory is monitoring, they will be creating models to try and work out where all forecast weather flows might go. and people are ready to evacuate if it comes to that. {131 people are ready to evacuate if it comes to that.— comes to that. of course we are auoin to comes to that. of course we are going to clip _ comes to that. of course we are going to clip a — comes to that. of course we are going to clip a close _ comes to that. of course we are going to clip a close eye - comes to that. of course we are going to clip a close eye on i comes to that. of course we are | going to clip a close eye on what happens over the next few days without volcano. let's wrap up by going back to the latest scores in the men's world cup. we have the us versus iran, the americans are 1—0 up. and as we can see, england, after scoring two goals in quick succession, marcus rasch that getting one and foden getting the other. they needed to win —— might wales needed to win to have a chance of getting through. that is not

going to happen. we are looking at one wales fans gathering. those fans would have known it was a tall order before this game and i think it is reasonable to say that while it is a fantastic achievement reaching this world cup, the first one in a very well here a long time, these three matches have not met the hopes of welsh fans, they drew the first game, lost the second against iran and it looks like they're going to lose to england unless something dramatic happens. those england fans are going through, they will be top of the group with seven points if the scores stay like this. the americans, if the scores stay like this, will also go through with five points. but, we have seen plenty of late drama in this world cup so it is not over until it is over. remember you can follow all of the bbc sport analysis of this game through the live page. or you can get our latest explainer is from

twitter. that is it for this edition. thanks as ever for watching. see you at the usual time tomorrow. goodbye. hello there. we saw mixed fortune of weather. some areas were cold, others were chilly grey and misty with some low cloud, a bit of fog lingering on in one or two spots. next few days looking similar. some areas grey with mist and fog. that fog develops pretty widely again through tonight, parts of central and northern england into central and northern england into central and northern england into central and eastern scotland. could be quite dense in places as well. where the skies are clear, a touch of frost. there will be thicker cloud and lows of one to four celsius. a chilly start tomorrow morning, dense fog to watch out for the parts of central and eastern

scotland and northern and eastern parts of england. it could linger in places all day but most lifting cloud. best of sunshine towards the south—west well be fairly mild. it's where the front will being thick clouds and more of a breeze as well. as we had through wednesday night it stays quite breezy, further outbreaks of rain in the north—west. the south, lighter winds again a bit of mist and fog developing. and why sky is clear a touch of frost. chilly further south. that weather front will be hanging around on sunday across the north of scotland but i think for much of the country again the winds will be light. a bit of a breezy day i think for scotland on thursday. the rain becomes confined to the far north of scotland in the northern isles. so i think for the south of scotland, northern ireland and england and wales, mostly dry. quite a bit of cloud around, mist and marks in foggy patches around. a little bit of sunshine here and there. fairly

mild towards the west. actually a sort of day further east where we have the low cloud and the mist and fog. towards the end of the week it is turning colder for all areas. that is because we are picking up a chillier eastern breeze. you can see the yellow and orange colours slowly moving away as the blue colder colours take over. the blue could be quite a feature towards the end of the week in the following week into the week in the following week into the cell. a chilly and that we, quite a bit of cloud around, limited spells of sunshine. we could see a few showers around and they will have a winter wintry feel.

this is bbc news. the headlines. cheering against wales in qatar, whales need to win the match to stand any chance of going through to the last 16. chinese ambassador the uk has been summoned to the foreign office following the arrest of a bbc journalist in shanghai. plans forcing tech companies to take on legal material of been dropped. critics say children could still be in danger. mistakes at a private laboratory were more than 39,000

tests were wrongly reported as negative could have led to 23 deaths. you're watching bbc news. england and wales have gone up to half time in theirfirst ever and wales have gone up to half time in their first ever football world cup meeting tied at 0—0. since have time, it's all changed. let's hear more from lucy hawking 's in qatar. whales really trailing now. —— wales. it was a rather dull first half. but it was a different england that came out on the second half, and we saw all of the free kick from marcus rashford. phil soden scored one minute later. —— foden. he has absolutely delivered, and we saw another great strike from marcus

rashford. england are currently 3—0 up rashford. england are currently 3—0 up against wales. heartbreak for them. welsh fans had really high hopes. it doesn't appear to be happening. at the same time, it is iran versus the usa, they are old enemies. that match was called one of the most prolifically charged matches and all of world cup history. there's lots of politics around those two teams with the protest taking place back and iran. the players did indeed sing the national anthem this time. but it seems the usa r 1—0 up. he is actually injured and did not come on

in their second half of the he had a collision from the goalkeeper. he has not appeared back out there, but the usa are now only about 20 minutes away from the knockout stages. anything can happen and iranjust need one goal. but we saw earlier in the day, we have two more of the names of the teams that will make the last 16. senegal and the netherlands join after winning their games today. there's real happiness for the african team. their fans were absolutely jubilant. african team. their fans were absolutelyjubilant. the dutch go through to the next round with an unbeaten record, and they failed to qualify four years ago. qatar are the host nation, but they finished

bottom of the group, losing again today, so that was three losses to the host nations. all eyes still on what is happening at the stadium. i think it is still 3—0 to england and wales. the usa are 1—0 up. i haven't heard any cheering, so yes, that's my assumption. thank you very much. it may be a cold tuesday night in november, but that hasn't stopped fans gathering to watch the match in bars and pubs. the tournament is proving to be a welcome boost at a difficult economic time for the industry. normally it would be in the summer. you can't have that, so you are alluding limiting the number of people in a venue. also, it's coinciding with what is already a

busy period. there was a slight concern that people might not be able to come out in the cost of living to do both of the match day and to do normal christmas activities. it's really good that we have the home nations performing so well in the early stages, because that gives us the biggest boost for the pub sector. it remains to be seen what happens after tonight's match. i seen what happens after tonight's match. . , seen what happens after tonight's match. ., , ., ., “ seen what happens after tonight's match. .,, ., ., ~ ., match. i was looking at the staggering _ match. i was looking at the staggering number - match. i was looking at the staggering number of i match. i was looking at the staggering number of pintsj match. i was looking at the i staggering number of pints sold during the match against the usa! em during the match against the usa! sift extra 13 million were sold during that match period. around about 100 extra pints of beer and cider. it's a significant boost for our supply chains and for the local economy. it is the best place to celebrate. there's an awful lot of room to

celebrate. there's an awful lot of room to celebrate-— a man's been arrested in connection with the deaths of at least 27 people who drowned trying to cross the channel in a dinghy last year. harem ahmed awbaker, who's 32, was arrested in cheltenham this morning. he's accused of being a member of a crime gang which organised the crossing last november. he's due to appear at westminster magistrates�* court tomorrow, facing extradition to france. our correspondent simonjones gave me this update from dover. vigils were held to mark the fact it was a year since the tragedy. today, a significant development into what happened. the national crime agency says working with its french counterpart, it's identified a key suspect. he was the lesson this morning at 6:45am, and he is called

mr awbaker. morning at 6:45am, and he is called mrawbaker. he morning at 6:45am, and he is called mr awbaker. he played a key part in organising that crossing that went so wrong a year ago. he is due to a fear in front of westminster magistrates�* court facing extradition —— due to a fear. the national crime agency does arrived —— described assessing if get —— due to up appear. we heard a statement for the home secretary �*s praising the national crime agency. she said she want all responsible to face the full force of the law. despite what happened in so many deaths last year, the crossings have continued. even today, even though we�*re in november, it has been cold and foggy. november, it has been cold and foggy, but the sea has been calm. we�*ve seen hundreds of people being brought to shore by the border force. 420 people yesterday made the

crossing, an average of more than 60 people per boat. so far, more than to 42,000 people this year have made this journey. to 42,000 people this year have made thisjourney. the the desire to get to the uk remains very real. the desire to get to the uk remains ve real. , ., ,., very real. tell us about the extradition _ very real. tell us about the extradition arrangements. | extradition arrangements. ultimately, what we�*re expecting is that this man is believed to be that this man is believed to he wanted by the french authorities. what will happen tomorrow is beginning proceedings. they often are fairly long and drawn out, but ultimately, the aim from the french authorities is to see this man be taken over to france where he could face legal proceedings over there. but this is notjust a criminal investigation. there have also been investigations taking place both

here in the uk and also over in france about the response of the authorities to the tragedy a year ago. there have been claims that when some of the migrants phoned the french coastguard initially as their boat was sinking, they were told, "you�*re in uk waters, you need to call the uk coastguard.. "and were told the same thing by the uk authorities. the families of those who died accused both britain and france of passing the buck and they believe that contributed to so many deaths in the channel. ultimately, those investigations are ongoing along with a criminal investigation, and it�*s thought there were many people who were behind that crossing. today, a significant arrest, but the investigation to find others are ongoing.

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. i�*m joined now by associate professor of chinese politics at the university of toronto, diana fu. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. one in particular strikes you about these protests?— news. one in particular strikes you about these protests? thanks so much for havin: about these protests? thanks so much for having me- — about these protests? thanks so much for having me. there _ about these protests? thanks so much for having me. there are _ about these protests? thanks so much for having me. there are two - for having me. there are two features of these protests that are quite remarkable. the first one is a scale. the fact that these protests are breaking out in multiple cities across china and outside is fairly unusual. one of the last times that protests of this scale have broken out was all the way back in 2012, when there were anti—japanese protests. this time, the people are

angry at their own government and not at the japanese government, so this scale is quite unusual and it has escalated across the world, including in toronto, where i�*m based. a separate feature i find quite remarkable is the rhetoric and messaging. chinese protesters are shouting, "we don�*t want masks, we want freedom, we went human rights." these might seem quite commonplace in liberal democracies. people often... this kind of language is unusual in china because freedom, citizenship, rights, all of these things are extremely politically sensitive. ordinary protesters, i normally stay away from this kind of language because they understand that it�*s like playing with fire, but not this time. we�*re seeing this time protesters are demanding not just livelihood rights, but they are

holding out blank pieces of paper to symbolise that they also want political rights. i see this is kind of a political awakening, especially among youth, that they want to be able to speak their minds and voice their grievances and they don�*t want just survival. their grievances and they don't want just survival-— just survival. how much of a threat are these demonstrations - just survival. how much of a threat are these demonstrations to i just survival. how much of a threat are these demonstrations to the i are these demonstrations to the government and that they challenge the social contract between state and the public? i the social contract between state and the public?— and the public? i think these rotests and the public? i think these protests are _ and the public? i think these protests are a threat - and the public? i think these protests are a threat to i and the public? i think these protests are a threat to the . and the public? i think these i protests are a threat to the ccp, and so far, as they do challenge a social contract between the state and citizens, that social contract that has been in place for a while is one in which the government promises to provide basic livelihood rights like housing, food, security to people in exchange for the consent to be ruled. in the

beginning of the pandemic, as chinese people were watching the death tolls mount in europe and north america and other western liberal democracies, i think they thought that this social contract was quite reasonable and i'm sure they have limitations to political rights, but they were used to that and they thought that at least their life —— they're alive. we're seeing at least some protesters have reached a breaking point where they feel like the government is no longer holding up its end of the bargain with estimates of 20% youth unemployment, businesses closing, migrant workers becoming homeless and deaths mounting. we are seeing some chinese citizens beginning to withdraw their consent to be ruled in this way and to the extent that this has a rippling effects. this is quite threatening to the party's legitimacy. i

quite threatening to the party's legitimacy-— quite threatening to the party's lecitima . , , ., legitimacy. i suppose the question that everybody _ legitimacy. i suppose the question that everybody would _ legitimacy. i suppose the question that everybody would love - legitimacy. i suppose the question that everybody would love to - legitimacy. i suppose the question i that everybody would love to know the answer to is are these protests likely to grow or dissipate, and if they dissipate, do will it be because the government has offered some concessions?— some concessions? yes, that is indeed the _ some concessions? yes, that is indeed the question _ some concessions? yes, that is indeed the question that - some concessions? yes, that is i indeed the question that everyone some concessions? yes, that is - indeed the question that everyone is asking, but it's one that is very hard to answer. i would not like to make any productions about that. however, the protests on the one hand, they rippled into other regions in china, but they may also dissipate if the government makes some concessions such as easing covid restrictions and quickly, because i think like any other government, the chinese government is very aware that concessions are sometimes necessary to quell mass on risks —— unrest. when people are most angry and passionate, it can be very costly to mount repression because both can backfire. we really should be watching for any signs of

concessions made by local governments in the coming weeks. professor fu, thank you very much. england are currently 3—0 up. we're going to go to swansea and talk to her correspondent thomas morgan. it's kind of mean, but we should ask you what the atmosphere is? everyone is standing on the tables and making the most of what has been a wonderful occasion. no doubt, compared to the first 50 odd minutes, it is far more subdued. i think everyone was hoping a little bit more from today's game. nobody

wanted... alas, that is what is turned out to be. the spirit they had back in 2016 when they made it to the semi finals, unfortunately, it looks like it's coming to an end. but throughout the next week, the atmosphere has been second to none. the scene has been unrivaled. going down 3—0, it will still be... just to support what an achievement it is for wales to make it back to the world cup. thank you very much.

could still be in danger. mistakes at a private laboratory were more than 39,000 tests were wrongly reported as negative could have led to 23 a bill tabled... we will be proceeding with the online safety bill... ..delayed. .. well, can i thank my honourable friend... | ..and amended. it's taken years, but will be back before parliament next week. legislative gridlock broken by a series of amendments. getting rid of the government's ability to decide what counts 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're 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. l 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 — l a law that won't satisfy everyone, 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. let's get more from our political correspondent, been right —— ben wright. correspondent, been right -- ben wriaht. , , ., correspondent, been right -- ben wriaht. , ,., , correspondent, been right -- ben wriaht. , .. , , correspondent, been right -- ben wriaht. , ,. wright. this is a very complex piece of less the first _ wright. this is a very complex piece of less the first consultation - wright. this is a very complex piece of less the first consultation was - of less the first consultation was started by david cameron. the scope expanded dramatically in the premier 's of borisjohnson, theresa may before that. there is a big question

mps are wrestling with — what constitutes harmful content, what role should the government have in regulating the internet companies, how much should companies be responsible, what sort of finds should they be respected to? this has been very controversial, particularly the issue around illegal but harmful confident, which pitted libertarian free—speech conservatives against others within the tory party. i think the government feels now that it has a compromising place to get this under the statute. this legislation that are even handed overfrom one sector to the next. if it doesn't get to the house of commons and lords by next may, you will be back to the drawing board completely. ministers hope this latest iteration will command enough support to make it

through. it could be another two years for ofcom to come up with new codes of practice to put this new measure into play. ben codes of practice to put this new measure into play.— codes of practice to put this new measure into play. ben wright, thank ou ve measure into play. ben wright, thank you very much- _ around 39,000 test should have been positive. correspondent mathew hill has been following the story. it’s has been following the story. it's been a has been following the story. it�*s been a long time running. this was a report ready a year ago. it's taken a long time to suddenly release this report on this particular day. but the full scale of what went wrong is laid bare for us. in early october, we received e—mails from viewers, including the marshall, whose grandmother pam was in the nursing home. she died of covid. these

e—mails said they had been given the all clear, but they had covid. what happened was a carer had been given the all clear to work in the home, and this was a time before vaccinations were fully in place. so, a very vulnerable group of people. he went into work and her grandmother died. today, it appears they've done this modelling on how many deaths they feel this could have caused, and they're talking about a total of 23. this is not exact science, and it's obviously not linkable to any individuals, although i think in that case, one in question. and it was only a week or so... in question. and it was only a week orso... it in question. and it was only a week or so... it was an early october we 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. it dealt mainly with people from our region,

the west in the southwest, and that led to this detailed investigation into the areas that took place between september the 7th and october the 12th last year. they concluded that threshold levels were set incorrectly, so too many came back negative. 39,000 pcr tests, he said in a dead, that led to 50,000 -- 55,000 said in a dead, that led to 50,000 —— 55,000 and said in a dead, that led to 50,000 -- 55,000 and 684 said in a dead, that led to 50,000 —— 55,000 and 684 people sent to hospital. it's thought these 23 deaths from covid. at a time when the nhs was incredibly underground, i'm sure there would have been a knock—on effect —— in demand. i'm sure there would have been a knock-on effect -- in demand. those families who — knock-on effect -- in demand. those families who did _ knock-on effect -- in demand. those families who did lose _ knock-on effect -- in demand. those families who did lose relatives - families who did lose relatives won't know for sure whether they're tied up in this. won't know for sure whether they're tied up in thie— tied up in this. that's a big unknown _

years ago, he had questions about whether it was viable to carry on. when i first came here, i was walking down the street outside, and a man passing by said to me, "you're flogging a dead horse around here, mate." but i think we keep going, we have hope, hope in god, and if god wants us here, then we will continue. but the decline is borne out in the data. when the question was first asked in the census of 2001, around 72% of people defined themselves as christian, but that is now down to around 46%. there has been a modest rise in the number of people who say they belong to all major non—christian faiths, but the biggest increase by far is in the number of people who say they have no religion. now a figure of more than 37% of people in england and wales. if you dig down into the category of no religion, it's actually an umbrella term for a huge variety of positions. so, some of those will be atheist, a lot will be agnostic, theyjust say, "i don't really know," and some will be spiritual and be

doing spiritual things but they don't want to identify with a particular religion, and certainly not with institutional religion. muslims are now up to around 6.5% of the population. the girls at this football club in birmingham embracing that part of their identity. our parents' generation kind of accepted a lot of things, i kind of like surviving. the next generation are starting . to kind of show you can be british, you can be muslim, you can have it all~ _ what is certain is the way that people define themselves what's certain is the way that people define themselves and theirfaith, or lack of it, continues to evolve rapidly. aleem maqbool, bbc news, birmingham. just a very quickly take you to croydon, where there is a fan zone, and they're celebrating the win over wales. marcus rashford scored twice,

phil foden scored twice with assistance from cain and phillips. it means wales finish bottom of the group and england go through to the last 16. time to look at the weather. hello there. we saw mixed fortunes of weather today. next days are pretty similar. some areas staying gray with some patchy mist and fog, other areas seeing the sunshine. only a little bit of rain in the forecast as this weather overnight tonight, we'll start to see fog developing quite widely. central and southern and eastern scotland and central and east in england. some of it could be quite dense in places. where skies are clear, it'll be chilly with some frost around. so, it's a chilly start to wednesday morning. watch out for some dense fog, first thing. it will tend to lift into low cloud. it could stay quite gloomy, though, in some areas. best of the sunshine towards the south and the west. it could be up to ii or 12 degrees.

a little bit of rain getting into western scotland and northern ireland as that weather front approaches. but as we move towards the latter part of the week, we start to pick up a cold easterly wind, so it will be turning chilly for all areas. hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. it's the machester one two; rashford and foden are poised to put england through to the final 16 of the world cup. it's heartbreak for wales. but pride in tact, for a welsh side competing at the the world cup, for the first time since 1958. the iranian team, this time, sing the national anthem. but they are on the brink, that second game is in added time the united states lead i—0. we'll have all the latest from qatar, were people celebrating, and commiserating. also in the programme... the uk's new online safety bill, will impose multi million pound fines on the social media giants

if they they fail to protect children from harmful content.
