and around the globe. to the world cup now — and the final round of group games are under way. with the results confirming which teams will play in the first knockout matches. so far we know the four teams who have progressed from groups a and b. they are the netherlands, senegal, england and the usa. here's how it happened. starting with group a. the netherlands secured top spot with a 2—0 win over qatar who finished hosting the world cup with no points and just one goal. senegal�*s win over ecuador gave them second place in the group. and in group b, england beat wales 3—0 securing first place in the group. usa held on for the win they needed over iran to get into the knock out stage. that means the first two games
2:03 am
in the last 16 look like this. and on saturday, the netherlands play the usa, and on sunday, it's england versus senegal. let's start our coverage— with details of the battle of britain. it's the first time two teams from the uk have ever met at the world cup final. nesta magregor sent us this update from the england wales game. we can see some of the 16,000 people who are leaving. england had much of the possession and i do not think will touch the ball in at the opposition penalty area and at the first half. so many times gareth bale has been the spark that wales needed and it definitely did not help he did not return for the second half. we think an injury of some sort possibly. if the second half was poor, the second half was the polar opposite. how exciting was that? straight after it, marcus rashford, a powerful, curling free kick into the top corner. a really amazing goal a minute orso
2:04 am
a really amazing goal a minute or so later captain harry kane down the right—hand side and phil foden tapped home. again a swirling dribble and then a low shot through the keeperhis third goal of the world cup and meaning he is one of thejoint top scorers as well. england much better in the first and second half and it has the english fans we can hear singing right now. let's get up to date with the other match on tuesday — the us taking on iran. here's lucy hockings in doha. there's been a lot of attention on the iranian team because of those protests against even their participation at this world cup. lots of people around the world and back in iran wanted them to boycott or to show acts that meant that they were standing shoulder to shoulder with the demonstrators back in iran. and tonight, we actually did see the team singing the national anthem. they didn't do that in their first match when they played england. there was also anger back in iran when the us soccer federation changed the iranian flag on their social media post. and the other discussion
2:05 am
here today has been about that last match between the two sides in 1998. that's the last time they met during a world cup final. that match was described at the time as the most politically—charged match in the history the americans lost that one 2-1, but it's the usa who are the victors this time. let's bring you more now with pooriahjafereh from bbc persian, whojoins us from our london newsroom. huge disappointment for iran and the fans. what went wrong for the team tonight? i think they were like too caught up with all the politics involved before the game. and it's quite interesting
2:06 am
that we have pictures coming from iran in some parts of tabriz and other cities. there are football fans who have celebrated the usa win and it seemed like the iranian team only needed a draw considering that england is beaten, well, 3—0 to get to the next round and that never happened. and you look at you look at what's happened on the pitch. perhaps iran didn't create too many chances and that was a deserved win for the us. and now they're going to go back and look at look at how how it's happened during this world cup. they've lost it on the pitch. they couldn't qualify, although they had a good chance after beating wales. they haven't qualified from from this group and also, they've lost so many of their fans who were die—hard fans before these games. and because the players didn't sympathise enough with the protesters in iran, the protests that happened for the last two months, i think they've lost the fans and also they've lost others outside the pitch and also on the pitch. pooriah jafereh from bbc persian talking to lucy hockings. now, there's been a mixed response to iran's defeat
2:07 am
from some parts of the country, with reports that some anti—government protestors let off fireworks to celebrate the american victory. and at least one protestor was arrested by stadium police in doha. witnesses said he was wearing a t—shirt with the words "women, life, freedom" written on it. but members of the russian activist group pussy riot did manage to get some of those t—shirts into the ground. they had names of people killed in iran written on the back. a member of the group said they were politely escorted out of the stadium after the match. well, back to team usa now, and their good news came while president biden was at an event in michigan. this is his response. usa! that is a big game, man! i spoke to the coach and the players and said and the players and said "you can do this" and they were, they did it. god love them! i just thought you
2:08 am
might want to hear. let's catch up with how some of the fans reacted now. starting in west africa. there were scenes of celebration in the senegalese capital da ka. it's only the second time the country has made it to the knockout stages of the world cup. but for every winner there is a loser — and in ecuador the fans were a bit more long faced. there wasn't much to cheer about in quito. moving on — the netherlands were always favourites to make it these fans near eindhoven still thought it was worth making a song about. and in the battle of britain now you can see how disappointing it was for wales. they needed to beat england— by at least four goals to have any chance of getting to the next stage, so that was always going to be tricky.
2:09 am
while for england's fans here in london, quite the opposite — with plenty to cheer about. it's not clear if they had their waterproof layers on to protect them from the rain or a shower of beer. and while soccer may not be the biggest sport in america, the result did seem to matter to these fans in new york. let's cross live now to new york and speak to sports journalist dexter henry. thank you very much forjoining me. as we saw there, happy fans. what is your reaction to the usa when? n0 sound the usa when? no sound apologies, dexter, we are having some technical issues heeding you at the moment. perhaps you could try admitting your mic and see if that works?
2:10 am
—— unmuting your mic. apologies, we will come back to dexter later, unable to have that interview right now. and sticking with football. one historic moment to share with you — on thursday, for the first time, a woman will referee a match in the men's world cup finals. stephanie frappart will lead an all—female team of officials for the game between germany and costa rica. she's already refereed matches in france's ligue 1, and the champions league. and she took charge of the women's world cup final in 2019. coming up in qatar on wednesday, groups c and d take centre stage. any of the four teams could still go through in group c — although mexico will need other results to go in their favour. and in group d, only france have guaranteed their place in the knockout stages with australia best placed tojoin them. don't forget there is much more on our website

2:12 am
time in inn eight years, they time in in 2018, tyears, they time in in 2018, so ears, they time in in 2018, so this they time in in 2018, so this was] time in in 2018, so this was a huge win, a lot of excitement hug-s win. a last. sf ettrtement 777, the huge win. a list. at atrtemenf �*the draw when huge win. a list. at atrtemenf �* the draw when they huge win. a list. at atrtemenf �*the draw when they played over the draw when they played england on saturday from a lot of us fans, it felt like a win. for them to get to the knockout round here, it is huge for a country that fancies itself as a developing football nation and one that should be taken seriously. so in orderfor them to be taken seriously, i think they had to make it to the knockout round. i think there was a lot of pressure on them to do so. the fans here are very excited.— very excited. this is not a football, _ very excited. this is not a football, soccer _ very excited. this is not a football, soccer loving . football, soccer loving country. but those who do support the us international team, were very excited with what they thought the world cup. you mention team usa did not qualify for last world cup backin not qualify for last world cup back in 2018. did you expect them to get this far? i back in 2018. did you expect them to get this far?- them to get this far? i did, but i knew _ them to get this far? i did, but i knew it _ them to get this far? i did, but i knew it was _ them to get this far? i did, but i knew it was going - them to get this far? i did, but i knew it was going to l them to get this far? i did, i but i knew it was going to be tough. i thought when you looked at the group they were in, grip b with england, wales,
2:13 am
we knew it was going to be tough. the first match against wales, shaky, it was a draw. i think a lot of us fans were concerned after they had two drawers, but with england being that second match, i think there was a concern. i think there was a concern. i think there was a good chance they can make it out, but i knew it would not be easy. i'm not surprised it came down to the game we saw today against iran. i knew that would be very tough and it was a tough game, fortunately kristian poulsen gets a goal to put them ahead and they were able to hold on for the win. i think we had a shot to make it to the knockout round, but what happens from here is very interesting. but i think they're pulling with house money going forward. of course. dexter henry, thank you so much for your time. we appreciated. thank you. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: as the world's biggest active volcano, the mauna loa in hawaii,starts erupting — we'll be speaking to the governor of hawaii. it's quite clear that the worst victims of this disaster are the poor people living

2:15 am
welcome back to bbc news. nato says it will help ukraine repair damage to its energy network caused by russian missile strikes. at a meeting in romania, the alliance also promised to provide more weapons. secetary general of nato, jens stoltenberg, had a united message for russia — that it won't back down in its support for ukraine. and he accused moscow of trying to "weaponise winter" by targeting ukraine's power supplies. 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. russia has also commented on the possibility that nato could supply ukraine with patriot missile defence systems. the former president,
2:16 am
dmitry medvedev, said nato had become a criminal entity for delivering weapons to what he said were "ukrainian fanatics". turning to the us now — and stewart rhodes, the leader of the group of militia members called the oath keepers, has been convicted of seditious conspiracy. it's in connection with the january the 6th storming of the us capitol in washington. rhodes, who is 57 years old and a graduate of yale university, was accused of master minding the oath keepers participation on that day. ahead of today's verdict, the bbc spoke to rhodes' estranged family at their home in montana about what it was like for them and how hard it was for them to escape. from early childhood on, there was adoration towards my father that slowly eroded away. i lived absolutely under the thumb of an emotional terrorist. stewart's obsession with preparing for the apocalypse
2:17 am
was his only hobby, his main purpose in life, and consumed our lives entirely. i had a childhood set of body armour. we sporadically attended tactical training, especially when stewart got fully sucked into oath keepers. he made his family the centrepoint of this cult of personality that he wanted to build for himself. we were completely isolated. the kids couldn't have friends. they weren't even allowed to play outside half the time. and it wasjust so intolerable. it was just a dark and depressing existence and very hard to remember that there was life outside of that house. getting out was terrifying. heart pounding, adrenaline racing. getting out was... ..was one of the hardest things, and really up until we got out, we did not know if we were all going to get out alive. it's a difficult situation all the way around, but it's
2:18 am
a much, much better situation with him in prison. i'm safer, the kids are safer, and the rest of country is safer with him in prison. five palestinian men have been killed by israeli forces in four separate incidents in the occupied west bank. the un has warned that the israeli palestinian conflict is "again reaching a boiling point" after an escalation in violence in the west bank and israel. our middle east correspondent tom bateman has the latest from jerusalem. the two palestinian brothers shot dead were in a palestinian village in the occupied west bank close to the city and palestinian sources tell us that there was the throwing of stones and some petrol bombs towards the israeli soldiers and the soldiers responded by opening fire at the palestinians.
2:19 am
the two men were killed and they were brothers, both students at a nearby university. that happened during monday to tuesday and then, within a few hours of that, further south of the city, and incident in similar circumstances and another palestinian man shot dead by the israeli troops and then in the day on tuesday and another village, video shows what appeared to be young men, possibly teenagers again, throwing stones towards the israeli soldiers who again, open fire. the use of live ammunition and another palestinian was killed. the israeli army describes all of these offences as "violent riots" but they virtually never explained why he resorted to lethal force rather than other means. so, we have those four palestinians killed, palestinian officials described in their words as an execution.
2:20 am
then on tuesday, a palestinian man drove his car towards an israeli soldier, ran her over. she was left seriously wounded in that car ramming attack. an israeli police officer then pursued him and the palestinian man was shot dead. so five palestinians killed in the space of 2a hours and all of it coming in a year of escalating violence. more than 140 palestinians killed in the occupied west bank this year and that includes civilians and militant gunmen. and more than 30 israelis killed this year, most of them in a spate of gun and knife attacks. it's reminding people and reviving fears and memories of some of the worst years in the occupied palestinian territories in israel and all in a year of very volatile politics. the palestinian authorities have been losing control of some palestinian cities and west
2:21 am
bank to young militant gunmen who are starting to fire at the israeli forces when they carry out arrest raids and likely the inauguration of the most nationalistic government in israel's history. it will contain a very powerfulfor right element. and they are calling for much tougher security operations. and so, you have a year when things have already been the worst in terms of the death toll in many years for greater fear now of escalating violence. some spectacular scenes at the world's biggest active volcano — mauna loa in hawaii — which started erupting on saturday. this time lapse footage gives you an idea of the scale of what is going on. experts from the us geological survey are confident that the lava flows do not pose a risk to property, but hawaiians have been advised to wear facemasks to protect against ash and harmful volcanic toxins. well, let's get the very latest on this story from the governor of hawaii, david ige, whojoins me now from
2:22 am
the hawaii state capitol in honolulu. thank you so much forjoining me, david. first of all, let's get the latest.— get the latest. what is the situation _ get the latest. what is the situation at _ get the latest. what is the situation at the _ get the latest. what is the situation at the moment? | get the latest. what is the - situation at the moment? thank you so much for inviting me. right now, there is no imminent threat or harm. the lava flow is high on the mountain top and is high on the mountain top and is away and isolated from any public roads or communities or any buildings at all. we are thankful that the flow is away from residential areas and is not impacting any businesses. all businesses and schools are open at this point in time. and all flights have resumed service into the airports, so at this point in time, i know that there are spectacular photos. if you get up to the
2:23 am
summit, but the eruption is occurring and there is no imminent threat to any individual or community. you mention it — individual or community. you mention it is _ individual or community. you mention it is not _ individual or community. you mention it is not dangerous. what advice are you giving to locals out there to help them stay safe?— stay safe? we certainly are reminding _ stay safe? we certainly are reminding them _ stay safe? we certainly are reminding them that - stay safe? we certainly are reminding them that the i reminding them that the eruption does let off toxic fumes. we have a series of air quality monitors all around the island. and so certainly we are encouraging those who have respiratory challenges to be mindful and stay away from the government and the fissures where the eruption is a cutting. we encourage them to wear masks as at that would help with the particulates and what we call khali's hair,
2:24 am
glass from the volcanic eruption which can impact those with respiratory challenges. but a mauna loa eruption is very different from other volcanic eruptions because it can be very unpredictable and can be very unpredictable and can change very quickly so we encourage all residents to stay up encourage all residents to stay up to date from the hawaii county civil defence who are monitoring the lava flows and posting very regular updates on the status of the eruption. and are responding to volcanoes erupting is nothing new for you, i'm sure.— erupting is nothing new for you, i'm sure. because there are actually— you, i'm sure. because there are actually two _ you, i'm sure. because there are actually two active - are actually two active volcanoes on the island right now, isn't there?— now, isn't there? yes, it is very rare — now, isn't there? yes, it is very rare we _ now, isn't there? yes, it is very rare we have - now, isn't there? yes, it is very rare we have both - now, isn't there? yes, it is- very rare we have both erupting at the same time. the last time it occurred was more than a0
2:25 am
years ago. but mauna loa's eruptions, because it is such a large mountain and the summit is very isolated and away from communities and infrastructure, those tend to be less impactful than other volcanic eruptions. what would you say to tourists coming to see the volcano? yes. coming to see the volcano? yes, certainly. — coming to see the volcano? yes, certainly. as— coming to see the volcano? yes, certainly. as you _ coming to see the volcano? yes, certainly, as you can _ coming to see the volcano? yes, certainly, as you can see, - coming to see the volcano? yes, certainly, as you can see, the . certainly, as you can see, the photos are very spectacular. we want to encourage those who are planning to travel to hawaii island to continue to come. it is safe, there is no impact and no imminent harm to anyone so certainly we would encourage those with plans to continue to come. ., ., ., come. david ige, governor of hawaii, thank—
2:26 am
come. david ige, governor of hawaii, thank you _ come. david ige, governor of hawaii, thank you so - come. david ige, governor of hawaii, thank you so much . come. david ige, governor of| hawaii, thank you so much for joining me on bbc news. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @monikaplaha. thank you very much forjoining me. hello again. yesterday we had some pretty big temperature contrasts across the uk. western areas had the mildest weather, with temperatures reaching around 12 or 13 degrees celsius with celsius with some bright skies. meanwhile, across parts of england, we had low cloud and mist linger all day and that's kept the temperatures pegged back at three. however, i think we've got a much bigger change in our weather patterns taking place over the next seven to ten days. we're going to lose the influence of the atlantic southwesterly winds. and instead we've got a big area of high pressure that's going to build across greenland into next week. and what that will do is it will drive these bitterly cold polar winds across the uk towards the end of next week. and with that comes the threat for some snow, particularly across the hills of northern scotland, so we'll be watching out
2:27 am
for signs of a change. it is seven to ten days off, but it looks like it could get quite cold next week. before we get there, the immediate concern that we have right now is mist and fog. it's certainly quite murky through the welsh marches. across north—east england, visibility has dropped to 100 metres and it's very murky too for parts of scotland, notably around the central belt. for many of you, starting off the day on a frost—free note, but cold for northern scotland where we start off with temperatures around five or six celsius below freezing. now, bear in mind, with that mist and fog around, you might need to leave a little bit of extra time for your early morning journey. and just like yesterday, some of this low cloud and fog willjust lift into mist and loiter across eastern areas. where that happens, temperatures probably staying at around four or five degrees. still for many of you, the weather will brighten up as we head through the day. the mildest weather again across western areas. temperatures again reaching double figures here. now we'll take a look at the weather picture into thursday. we've still got high pressure dominating the scene across england and wales,
2:28 am
but these weak weather fronts just bringing the threat of some rain into the far north—west. some damp weather for mainland scotland. the heaviest rain will be across orkney and shetland during thursday. otherwise it's a largely dry picture again with some mist and fog patches to start the day with poor visibility and things generally turning a bit brighter as we head into the afternoons. temperatures — england and wales about seven to ten celsius, but the mildest weather for west scotland and for northern ireland, 11 or 12 degrees here. however, through friday and the weekend it starts to get cooler, but the really cold air starts to arrive towards the end of next week. we'll be keeping a close eye on developments here.
2:29 am
2:30 am
this is bbc news, the headlines... jubilation from england fans as they beat wales 3—0 at the world cup — going through to the knockout stages. joy too for usa fans with a 1—0 victory over iran — christian pulisic scoring the winner to set up a last—16 tie with the netherlands. the founder of the us right—wing oath keepers militia group has been convicted of seditious conspiracy, over last year's attack on the capitol building in washington. stewart rhodes was accused of masterminding the oath keepers participation on january the 6th. five palestinian men have been killed by israeli forces in four separate incidents in the occupied west bank. the un has warned that the israeli—palestinian conflict is "again reaching a boiling point" after
