as we go through tonight, we will see some splashes of rain through northern ireland and the western side of scotland. eastern and southern scotland, england and wales predominantly dry. but once again there'll be some big areas of mist and murk, some low cloud and fog. and you could see a touch of frost — if it stays cloudy, your temperatures will stick above freezing. into tomorrow, then, some patchy rain across the northern half of the uk, much of that tending to ease away. some big areas of cloud, some mist and murk, but some sunshine too, through southern and western parts of england, wales, northern ireland lifting temperatures to 12 celsius. it will be colder than that if it stays grey and gloomy where you are all day long. into friday and the weekend, we stick with a rather chilly feel. lots of dry weather, butjust a bit of rain here and there. hello, i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up

on sportsday this evening. the socceroos they make the news. they make the news. it's they make the news. it's a they make the news. it's a knockout they make the news. it's a knockout blow for denmark. tunisia are out, but they leave on a high — beating a much changed france team. england hope they are there for the long stretch, we'll get a progress report on their three games so far also coming up in the programme... there are three tests coming up for england in pakistan, but will sickness stop play in the first of them tomorrow. we don't think it's because of it, we don't think it is food related. we are hoping that it is just a 2k hour bug and that everybody feels fit and ready to go tomorrow.

evening. the last 16 at the world cup is slowly taking shape. england have had a day off ahead of their knockout match against senegal on sunday, wales have been packing their bags before they head home tomorrow, we'll check in on both camps shortly. let's get right up to speed with the football so far today, d is for drama in group d. france were already through and they made a raft of changes and were beaten by tunisia. for a few minutes of that match, the north africans were going to join them in the last 16, until news came through of a winner in the other game for australia, beating denmark 1—nil and it's the socceroos celebrating. jane dougall reports. with france already qualified, making nine changes for this group game was perhaps understandable. but

opponents to nancy i spied an opportunity. early on, they thought they'd done the impossible. it’s opportunity. early on, they thought they'd done the impossible.- they'd done the impossible. it's in! but the flag _ they'd done the impossible. it's in! but the flag said _ they'd done the impossible. it's in! but the flag said otherwise. - but the flag said otherwise. offside. a lack of game time for this unrecognisable france side was showing. arguably their best player watched from the bench. it didn't improve in the second half. france lost the ball in midfield and why be kept his composure.— kept his composure. opens up for him! could _ kept his composure. opens up for him! could tune _ kept his composure. opens up for him! could tune as _ kept his composure. opens up for him! could tune as he _ kept his composure. opens up for him! could tune as he had - kept his composure. opens up for him! could tune as he had been i him! could tune as he had been throu~h him! could tune as he had been through to _ him! could tune as he had been through to the _ him! could tune as he had been through to the knockout - him! could tune as he had been through to the knockout stages | him! could tune as he had been l through to the knockout stages of the world cup? and the dying minutes, france had a goal of their own disallowed, but to nancy a's celebrations were muted as news from in the group filtered through. kicking off at the same time, france's team selection hadn't gone down well with australia and denmark. both of them could still qualify and would have preferred to an easier to lose. denmark had their chances, but it was australia who grabbed hold of the game. along ball

we always knew we could do it, we believed as a group. we had our doubters, but with our belief, our work ethic and how close we are as a group commit show is on the pitch. that last 15—20 minutes, we battled until the end, and it didn't matter what they throw at us. we weren't conceding. so proud, but, again, we will make the most of it tonight, but then it's all about recovery because obviously we've got another game coming up. aha, because obviously we've got another game coming up. 3 lat because obviously we've got another game coming um— because obviously we've got another game coming via-— game coming up. a lot of belief, a lot of hard — game coming up. a lot of belief, a lot of hard work. _ game coming up. a lot of belief, a lot of hard work. these _ game coming up. a lot of belief, a lot of hard work. these boys, - game coming up. a lot of belief, a lot of hard work. these boys, and | lot of hard work. these boys, and with a _ lot of hard work. these boys, and with a great — lot of hard work. these boys, and with a great mindset. we have been working _ with a great mindset. we have been working on— with a great mindset. we have been working on the server and half years about— working on the server and half years about the _ working on the server and half years about the belief and the energy and the focus _ about the belief and the energy and the focus. you know, i can see it in their— the focus. you know, i can see it in their eyes— the focus. you know, i can see it in their eyes tonight. as i said to the boys, _ their eyes tonight. as i said to the boys, that's— their eyes tonight. as i said to the boys, that's why we won after a great _ boys, that's why we won after a great win— boys, that's why we won after a great win against an easy app. no celebrations, no emotion, sleep, no sociai— celebrations, no emotion, sleep, no social media — celebrations, no emotion, sleep, no social media-— social media. look at that, though. federation square _ social media. look at that, though. federation square in _ social media. look at that, though. federation square in melbourne. i social media. look at that, though. i federation square in melbourne. that has been the place to go to watch

the soccer routers. thousands packed into watch that win over denmark. that was the full—time with soap. all the players going on. about four o'clock in the morning there at full—time. they will be back at the weekends, no doubt. that is a later game on the saturday so they will be there at 6am sunday morning. by the end of this evening france and australia will find out who they face in the last 16. group c is wide open, all four sides can go through. kick off at seven between saudi arabia and mexico and the two times champions argentina take on the group leaders poland. argentina had that shock defeat to the saudis in their group opener before beating the mexicans, win and they will be sure of progressing. the former spurs and paris st germain manager, and argentina defender mauricio pochettino is in qatar working with bbc sport and he is sure that lionel messi's side will go a long way.

anything is possible. i wish because i am argentinian, i think they can win the world cup because i think a player like lionel messi lifting the trophy would be and he is saying. yes, that is my wish. that is my wish. and i think that can happen always, you need some luck in different games to win, but then we are going to be with a very good team like england, like france, brazil, you know, our team that have that similar quality to argentina, spain or money to wayne, but i think argentina have different mentality

argentina have different mentality argentina is able to do anything. just watching my manager _ able to do anything. just watching my manager here _ able to do anything. just watching my manager here right _ able to do anything. just watching my manager here right now- able to do anything. just watching my manager here right now and i able to do anything. just watching - my manager here right now and lionel messi is warming up with the rest of the argentina squad. against poland at stadium 974. that's the one that's made out of all of those shipping containersjust that's made out of all of those shipping containers just on the shore they are of the... that is to the south of delhi just near the airport. victory over wales that is last night ensured that they reached the last 16 as group winners. it will interesting to see how gareth southgate approaches sundays knockout match in the last 16 against senegal. he made 4 changes agains the welsh, marcus rashford scored his second and third goals of the tournament, and phil foden, his first world cup goal in his first appearance. they came in for bukayo saka and raheem sterling.

a fascinating team selection, a good headache though, as they say. today's edition of the footbal news show on the bbc iplayer looks at england and wales differing fortunes in qatar. the former england defender stephen warnock gave us his views on england. we are out of the group which is a great think i may think obviously the start, there was a lot made of that big score line, when we put things into context, where we are at in the heads. there is a lot of problems politically in their country you just wonder whether it was taken of the game a little bit because it is a huge improvement against wales, and also against the usa.

we struggled a little bit against usa. they probably had more energy than us. i don't think gareth southgate made too many changes or changes that could affect the game and the second half and the the third game of personnel and the performance was just magnificent. it was so better. don't get me wrong, wales range great, but encouraging things are is that we manage to be able to rotate the squad a little bit. , ., ~ able to rotate the squad a little bit. i. ~ �* able to rotate the squad a little bit. ~ �* ., , able to rotate the squad a little bit. ~ �* ., bit. do you think we're any closer to knowing _ bit. do you think we're any closer to knowing where _ bit. do you think we're any closer to knowing where did _ bit. do you think we're any closer to knowing where did this - bit. do you think we're any closer| to knowing where did this england team is at the moment, because three games, we've actually on the plate three different halfs of football in that. . , , . three different halfs of football in that. ., , , . ., three different halfs of football in that. . , , . ., three different halfs of football in that. . ., that. that is such a good point. i think what _ that. that is such a good point. i think what we _ that. that is such a good point. i think what we know _ that. that is such a good point. i think what we know and - that. that is such a good point. i think what we know and what. think what we know and what we've always known is the capability is there and that is all right with —— always a danger, it is sort of the unknown when you pay them at the minute which england is going to

come out it's a little bit tame in such aggressive or as it's going to be the aggressive style that we saw last night against wales, and i think that's what we all want to see. i know we have the capabilities to her teens. we've also got the players and that is what we saw the best of last night. that players and that is what we saw the best of last night.— players and that is what we saw the best of last night. that was stephen warnock speaking _ best of last night. that was stephen warnock speaking to _ best of last night. that was stephen warnock speaking to my _ best of last night. that was stephen warnock speaking to my colleague l best of last night. that was stephen i warnock speaking to my colleague ben crouch. in the latest edition of the flip news show. much more of that into and a lot more world cup 2022 england progress, whales knocked out. that's what they are looking at to wales then, a desperately disappointing stay in qatar, 8 days between their opening draw against the usa and last night's

game against against england. it was that defeat to iran in between that really did for them. from qatar, here's hywel griffith. it has been an emotionaljourney for whales, _ it has been an emotionaljourney for whales, when we always keep in the context of— whales, when we always keep in the context of it was their first world cup and — context of it was their first world cup and 64 years, sojust getting here _ cup and 64 years, sojust getting here it _ cup and 64 years, sojust getting here it would be wrong however to hide away— here it would be wrong however to hide away from the deficiencies 300 minutes— hide away from the deficiencies 300 minutes wanting physically over whales — minutes wanting physically over whales star performers. gareth hailed — whales star performers. gareth bailed probably past is past, it is hard _ bailed probably past is past, it is hard to— bailed probably past is past, it is hard to deny that, but also rat adam ramsey— hard to deny that, but also rat adam ramsey injured before this world cup. they— ramsey injured before this world cup. they simply didn't have the influence — cup. they simply didn't have the influence they haven't done for most of this— influence they haven't done for most of this year— influence they haven't done for most of this year even into the build—up of this year even into the build—up of the _ of this year even into the build—up of the tournament. there were flashes— of the tournament. there were flashes from people like harry

just had some breaking news out of the england... this coming from our sports editor, dan roan in qatar. then wait the arsenal and england defender has left the england camp for personal reasons and he is not expected to rejoin them. he want to be able to be replaced, but a french player anyway, certainly not part of the starting 11 for england, but stale to me you know, a key member of that squad. he's had to leave the england squad for personal reasons, and it is not expected that he will return to qatar, so he's gone home, a huge blow for a ban weight, but let's hope all is well leaving for personal reasons. more world cup news later in the programme, let's have a quick look at the other headlines for you now. wales captain siwan lillicrap has retired from international rugby union she's been skipper for the last three years and has won 51 caps. the forward was among

the first players to receive england and bristol prop kyle sinckler will be out for up to a month after suffering a leg injury in saturday's defeat by south africa. sinckler was replaced at half—time in the game at twickenham. county champions surrey will start the 2023 season in early april with a repeat of last season's final game, an away trip to face lancashire. surrey, who won their 20th title this year, were beaten inside three days as lancashire sealed the runners—up spot. england's cricketers are in pakistan, the three test series is due to start tomorrow morning in rawalpindi, but sickness has hit the touring party. if their starting eleven is massively depleted then the match could be put back by 24 hours. that decision wll be made just a few

hours before the scheduled start. even a handful of guys turned up to practice today, but it is optional, so not everyone who is not here is not l. sometimes i need go to different countries for me to pick up different countries for me to pick up different viruses, you know, you obviously stay tight together as a group and as a team and these things can pass around. we don't think it does cultivate, we don't think it is food related, we are hoping that it is just a 24 hour bug and everyone feels fit and ready to go tomorrow. whatever happens tomorrow, happens, but i don't think that's necessarily going to be the case. i think as a team when you are thrown the is curve balls, i think it'sjust important to stay calm, stay relaxed, stay focused on what is the most important which is preparing individually and being really clear about what the team focus is going into the first day. that's what i

will do tonight and make sure that time not mentally drained going into the game. he says he's not contemplating skipping the side, he fully expects ben stokes to be fit and well in the morning. earlier i spoke to the test match special team. the latest is that we should _ match special team. the latest is that we should get _ match special team. the latest is that we should get an _ match special team. the latest is that we should get an update - match special team. the latest is. that we should get an update later this evening, but it sounds like they've got this 24 hours of virus commit is 24 hour bug. a couple of them support staff, players had it yesterday and seemed all right today. joe ruta being one of them said he was a little bit under the weather yesterday, and today he was at training, he seemed fine. it seems i kept the squad and half the team have gone down. you wait 17 years for a test match and then you get taken out by a virus. the pakistan captain _ get taken out by a virus. the pakistan captain says he wants a full strength england testing to go out against. how is that team shaping up because the ii has been named if they are all fit and well.

the team looks really good, we got liam livingston on the team was in place in september 2021. that's red ball crickets, but the way that we talk about brandon and ben stokes, the style of cricket that they both like to play, liam livingston definitely suits that, so it adds an extra strength. he will play the leg spinner and off spinner role, backed on it and break and just be a aggressive at the bat. it seemed the top of the order of what they can do, obviously withoutjohnny there still, it's a huge loss for england, but they've got some decent players. ben duck it's really good, and he's going to open the batting for england. they are looking really good with the likes ofjimmy anderson, he's played a lot of cricket. he is not played here for a while, such as one of those things, but it's going to be a good series, and good looking good. interesting to think that _ and good looking good. interesting to think that jimmy _ and good looking good. interesting to think that jimmy was _ and good looking good. interesting to think that jimmy was the - and good looking good. interesting to think that jimmy was the only i to think thatjimmy was the only surviving member of that 2005 touring party. it says so much about the evergreen anderson. he was interesting speaking in the last 24 hours about the conditions there,

did they get what they wanted because he and i think everyone will because he and i think everyone will be reasonably happy. there is no group of death, as such, but to give you an idea of how this drug works, next summer in south africa, 16 teams will be competing, so four pools of four pools. because of the way the dry works we already knew how half those pools looked because as of august this year, the top eight ranked teams in the world qualified automatically and where already placed into the groups, so the likes of england, third in the world had already qualified and already knew they were in group b. wales and scotland had to go to the european qualifying tournament. they qualified but didn't know who they would be facing, so to run through the groups england have been drawn against scotland alongside the likes of mellow barbados.— against scotland alongside the likes of mellow barbados. wales will be in u-rou of mellow barbados. wales will be in a-rou c of mellow barbados. wales will be in group c alongside — of mellow barbados. wales will be in group c alongside the _ of mellow barbados. wales will be in group c alongside the host, - of mellow barbados. wales will be in group c alongside the host, south i group c alongside the host, south africa, jamaica and sri lanka. group africa, jamaica and sri lanka. group a will be australia, the current world number one income and wealth champions with tonga, zimbabwe and fiji, group c, new zealand, the

protesters. then again, that victory which was the first ever victory against european a position at the world cup for iran, it was a state, and the police and guards and those that people have been fighting for the last two months and something check the credit for that when. find check the credit for that when. and the coach for _ check the credit for that when. and the coach for the _ check the credit for that when. and the coach for the short time that i ran ran qatar, tried to shield the players, try to keep them away from those political questions. the players, again, put in a very difficult position no matter what side of the fence they might be on. are there concerns about some of those players? it are there concerns about some of those players?— are there concerns about some of those players? it doesn't seem like that because _ those players? it doesn't seem like that because they've _ those players? it doesn't seem like that because they've lost _ those players? it doesn't seem like that because they've lost the - those players? it doesn't seem like that because they've lost the fans | that because they've lost the fans anyway. i think you look at the history of the world cup, even we have had dictatorships in the past sending teams to the world cup, we

have never seen anything like this that the fans of a particular team supporting the opposition and be happy when the team is eliminated and when they had a chance to go through. and when they had a chance to go throu~h. ,, ., the world cup, just a few minutes away from those matches in group c, both are on the bbc, unless you've got two tallies, you will be flicking between them. i'm bbc one right now, robert levin dusky, and there is argentina's talisman and captain, lionel messi. argentina against poland, the pauls meeting just a drop to reach the last 16 for the first time since 1986. made one change to the side, coming in for malic up near the top forward there, but for argentina, their progress has been injeopardy after that opening defeat to saudi arabia. they have to win argentina to be sure of reaching the last 16. whoever finishes second in this group will face france in the last 16. what a match that would be. the

winners of group c will play australia. lionel messi's 168th argentina game, 93 goes so far for his country, scored twice so far in qatar on that losing corsican societies before they be to mexico. four changes for argentina and fernandez gets his first start after coming off the bench to score in that last game against the mexicans. manchester city comes in for that. let's watch match is over and bbc to, it is saudi arabia against mexico. saudi arabia will be there if they win. tougher for mexico. they have to win and hope that other game between top: dan argentina goes there as well —— goes their way as well. it's complicated but all will become clear in the coming hours. those matches across the bbc. go to the bbc sport website for updates as well. that's all from sportsday.

enjoy the football. good evening. the last day of november brought sunshine for some of us, but for others, stuck under low cloud, mist and fog. it stayed decidedly chilly — and chilly is certainly the name of the game for the start of december, things turning colder this big area of high pressure really dominates the scene at the moment, centred across eastern europe, extending its influence all the way west towards our shores, and tending to fend off these atlantic weather systems. we will see one weak weather fronts bringing cloud and some splashes of rain through the night across northern ireland and the western side of scotland. eastern and southern scotland, and down across england and wales largely dry, but in quite a few places, there'll be some low cloud, some mist, some fog.

and if there are any lengthy breaks in the cloud, well, there could also be a touch of frost. tomorrow, then, a grey, gloomy and murky start for many with some fog patches, some of which will lift and clear. but some of that mist and murk will linger to keep things chilly once again, particularly in parts of northern england, southern and southeastern scotland. rain tending to pull away from the northern half of the uk, so most places dry. in the best of the sunshine out west, 11—12 celsius — get stuck under mist and murk, you'll only get to 4—5. into friday, again, some big areas of low cloud, mist and fog, some of which will stick around for a good part of the day. some showers moving into east anglia and the southeast. best of the sunshine likely to be across the southwest of england, the midlands, wales, also northern ireland, maybe western scotland with highs of around 11 celsius. as we get into saturday, another weather system tries to push its way in from the northwest — again, that will be weakening as it goes, but some rain into parts of scotland and northern ireland, maybe something wintry starting to develop over the highest ground in scotland.

much of england and wales dry, some spells of sunshine, but for all of us by this stage, we will be in single digits. moving out of saturday into sunday, this area of high pressure starts to build to the northwest of us — that'll be quite a big player in our weather actually as we get into next week. but in the shorter term for sunday, an easterly winds with a chilly feel, and then the potential for an even colder north—or—northeasterly wind as we go through next week. now there's quite a high level of confidence in that forecast for something colder, but there's more uncertainty as to exactly what that will bring us in the way of any rain, sleet, or snow.

lots of dry weather, butjust a bit of rain here and there. hello, i'm maryam moshiri, this is outside source. a major breakthrough in the treatment of alzheimer's —, a new drug is found which slows the disease this is so exciting because now we are getting results. the first results that indicate that the drug is successfully treating the underlying causes. the discovery could herald a new era of drugs to treat alzheimer's — the most common form of dementia. in other news: the islamic state group's latest leader has died in combat — we'll speak to a jihadi specialist. a royal aide — who is prince william's godmother — apologises and resigns over comments made to a black british guest at a reception at buckingham palace. and another upset at the world cup —
