it tells the story of a happy little girl whose world unexpectedly turns upside down. tilda sees a ladybird stuck on its back. then the ladybird tried again. and again... ..and again... ..until at last it flew free. tilda thought about this. the ladybird hadn't given up, so neither would she. in sunderland, lucy used her device to tell us what she thought. i feel happy rob used eye gaze while reading cbeebies' bedtime story. lucy's grown up watching the bedtime story and never until now has - she seen herself represented in that way _ she's been so excited thinkingi that this was going to happen. ijust think it's incredible. even though at times things felt a little topsy—turvy and she wanted to give up, she didn't. she just kept on trying.

amazing story. rob burrows ending graham satchell�*s report there. time for a look at the weather. darren bett is here. a mixture of weather across the country, some areas of southern england have been a struggle to lift the mist and low cloud and it's a bit colder. some cloudy skies as you head further north across the uk into scotland and also northern ireland. here it somewhat mild because we've got more of a southerly breeze but across england and wales there is no breeze to mix things up and it's quite grey, gloomy and cold where we keep the mist and fog and low cloud particularly in the midlands and because there is no breeze we will find that fog thickening up again particularly across east wales, west midlands and the west country. further north that low cloud across northern england and scotland producing a bit of light rain or

drizzle and sitting on the hills keeping temperatures up here but in england and wales with the cloud coming and going, fog coming and going, you will find temperatures close to freezing. tomorrow could see some brightness and sunshine for a while across northern ireland, still a lot of cloud for northern england but further south the dog will lift more regularly, brighter skies and sunshine pushing it southern england, the midlands and eastern england where we could see more showers towards east anglia and the south—east as the breeze begins to pick up, temperature 7—9. heading into the weekend there is a weather front on the scene, not really making much progress. everything is getting blocked off by the high pressure that extends across from scandinavia. we are going to find some areas of cloud on saturday with some areas of cloud on saturday with some sunshine around, may be set a few light showers coming into some eastern areas and up towards the north west of scotland and northern ireland thick cloud producing a little light rain or drizzle. temperatures 7—8 on saturday, starting to get a bit colder perhaps and it will get colder still in the

second half of the weekend. we've still got this run of easterly winds crosses and those easterly winds keepers in the colder air and they are starting to strengthen just a little bit and that will be more noticeable during sunday. again, some areas of cloud, some sunshine coming through, a few more showers mainly across eastern scotland and down eastern parts of england. you will have easterly wind, it's not a strong easterly wind but it will make the difference and it will make it feel a little bit colder. these are the temperatures we are looking at on sunday. only around 6—7, but when you factor in that easterly wind, some eastern parts of the uk will feel more like 2—3. it's a quiet few days, once again most places are still going to be dry. we'll find lest fog and that's because the easterly wind is going to be picking up and it will make it feel colder especially over the weekend. a reminder of our top story... more like 2 or three celsius in the

afternoon. new figures show ambulance waiting times in england are at their highest level, with 11,000 stuck for over an hour outside a&e last week. that's it. it's goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon. good afternoon. this is your update from the bbc sports centre. to be decided as belgium and morocco tried to get through and later tonight to world champions will try to progress. germany half to beat costa rica and hope thatjapan will lose. things could get nervy for the german camp and germany's match with

rica will also see 2 7-7-7. of ias will also see 2 7-7-7. of i as stephanie ee f 7-7-7. of i as stephanie forf 7-7”. of i as stephanie for becomes of i as stephanie for becomes the history as stephanie for becomes the first female referee to take charge of eight men's match. it will be an all—female team on the pitch, with brazil's neuza back and mexican karen diaz medina running the lines as her assistants. the world cup is the most important competition not only in football but in the world so we know there are a lot of expectations. there is always pressure in the matches and also pressure in the matches and also pressure because they are always new. i was always welcome in the stadium so i feel like another referee inside the pitch. the countdown is on for all england fans — as they prepare to face senegal in the last 16 on sunday. after an impressive 3—0 win in their final group match against wales on tuesday, manager gareth southgate may have some selection headaches for the match. all 25 players trained today — and midfielder declan rice other countries should be worried

about facing gareth southgate�*s side. other nations will always look at us and look at the quality we have got in the squad, why should we not be feared? if you look at our attacking players, we have world—class unbelievable talents across the board and across the whole team, players that have played in the biggest games and won the biggest trophies. we are one of the biggest teams here and it is down to us to bring it on the pitch. the french have proved that, they have won the world cup and they have done it consistently and now we want to change that. all them big nations, we want to show we are here and notjust here to get into the round of 16, we want to go the whole way. it's been a record breaking opening day for england's cricketers on their first test back in pakistan after 17 years. after batting first, england made batting look very, very easy. zak crawley reached his century in record time fellow opener ben duckett also got past 100 —

as did ollie pope as england piled on the runs. still time for one more before the close — harry brook finishing the day unbeaten on 101 — england 506—1; at stumps and becoming the first team to pass 500 runs on the opening day of a test. it was crazy. even just that last hour when the boys just seem to get a couple of falls every over and to start the day, a mad day but the big think we are talking about is the score, were not trying to score quickly from just looking and if the ball falls in the right area then we score quick and thankfully it was a quick outfield and we scored quickly today. and for the first time in a century there'll be a new finish line at the tour de france in 202a. the final stage of the famous race will be moved to the southern city of nice

as paris will be preparing to host the olympics, which starts just a few days later with the champs elysees set to be transformed into an olympic venue. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport gavin, thank you for that. now a bit of breaking news. borisjohnson has apparently told the local conservative party in his constituency that he intends to stand again as an mp at the next election. a representative of the former prime minister confirmed the report published in the daily telegraph saying he has indicated he will contest the oxbridge and south rise site. so far 11 conservative mps have announced they will not stand again but they do not include

the johnson, who has apparently confirmed to his local party in uxbridge and south roy slip that he will contest the next election. a black british charity campaigner who was repeatedly asked at a royal reception where she was from, has said it felt like she was being interrogated. ngozi fulani said the questions from the senior royal aide carried on in this way for about five minutes. lady susan hussey has resigned and apologised. well, ngozi fulani has been speaking to our royal correspondent sarah campbell. sarah began by asking her about the domestic violence charity sistah space, which she founded. sistah space is a charity that supports african and caribbean women and girls affected by domestic abuse. we are probably the only such charity of our kind in the whole of the uk. it's an important charity and an important cause and that is why you were there on tuesday, so tell me

about what happened when you arrived at buckingham palace. the reason we got the invitation to buckingham palace is because we raised a particular concern about discrimination in the violence against women sector about inequality, the issues black women face when they go for support and we also did a massive campaign around valerie�*s law and that was recognised and we got an invitation to the queen's garden party a few months ago, so when we got the invitation to the buckingham palace event, for 16 days of activism, of course we said yes. we knew there would be other organisations there that are also involved in the elimination of abuse against women and girls so we looked forward to moving this thing forward. when you arrived at buckingham palace you weren't on your own,

there were 300 people from various organisations. tell me about the incident involving lady susan hussey. how quickly did this happen? within five minutes of me arriving in the hall and trying to see if i could recognise any faces there, i was standing next to two women and a lady in a blue suit came over to us and she kind of made a beeline to me and the first thing she did is take my hair in her hand, my locks, and move it, saying she wants to see my name badge. you haven't introduced yourself, i don't know who you are but it is not ok to put your hand on my hair, but we're taught to respect elders and she was a senior to me

and i thought ok, let it pass. then she began to ask me who am i, where am ifrom? i said i'm from sistah space, an organisation that supports african and caribbean heritage women and girls and she said, "what part of africa are you from?" i said i don't know, they didn't leave any records and that is truth, i couldn't trace which part. she said, "where are you from?" i said sistah space are based in hackney. "no, but where are you from?" now, i'm thinking... this is feeling uncomfortable but ok, it's a question. "i'm from here, i was born here." "but where are you really from?" "i'm really from here." "ok, so i can see this is going to be a bit of a challenge." she said, "what's your nationality?" and i said, "lady, i was born here, i'm british." i thought that would be the end of it.

no. "no, where are you really from, where are your people from?" my people? what is this? i can't remember the conversation exactly but she did mention france or french, the inability to speak french any more, something like that. i remember previously her talking about service, how long she had been in service and stuff like that. it was uncomfortable because she's driving at something and that is clear to me now. it is not a question of her not being able to hear what i'm saying. i've answered it, what more do you want? "where are you really from?" i want this to go away now so i said, "lady, my parents came here in the 19505 from the caribbean" and i was about to say... "oh, i knew we would get there in the end!

that's where you are from!" and she went on in that vein and at that point... this was done in front of colleagues in the sector. this is what we say in our community. this is you trying to pull something from me. i have given you the answer but it's not satisfactory so you're going to keep going and then when you have the answer you require, you are satisfied and off you went, and as someone who before i did this work, i was a registrar and part of myjob as a registrar is to give people their british citizenship so i know what that means, i knew about what happened with the windrush generation, i know the conversations and i started to process whatjust happened but i didn't know what to do with it.

who do i tell, where do i go? i just didn't want to be in this space any more. i don't want to be somewhere i can be treated like that and i'm very clear, it's not a friendly "so where are you from" because i told you where i was from and that would have been the end of it. this is basically, "you can't be british, where are you really from?" and when she went, there is a bit in between, it's like... i don't know if anyone has ever experienced this but as it's happening you are thinking of a way to shut the thing down and escape so i'm listening her but trying to find a way to just leave this scenario. she eventually went. and the two women that were with me, both of african origin, we just looked at each other for a moment and we didn't need any words but eventually we said,

"whatjust happened here? this is outrageous, this is really rude. we need to tell somebody. who are we going to tell?" so i went to the person who i knew organised our invitation. i didn't want to spoil it for her. she was having fun, this was an event for those going through domestic abuse and i am a worker in the space. there were wives of prime ministers and former home secretaries, people in the room who have been really affected by domestic abuse. this could not be about me right now so i had to hold it and i had to hold it for two hours and many people came up to me and said where they were from and it was just a blur. you have talked about feeling interrogated and it was traumatising for you.

can you explain to people who perhaps have read the conversation and perhaps don't see why it was quite so hurtful to you, can you explain that? everything has to be taken in its context, so the context is domestic abuse, raising awareness. that you have asked me a question and i have answered it several times and you do not stop until you get the answer that satisfies you, that i cannot claim to be british, that is clear. i have clarity. i'm not under any illusion. this happened and one of my many thoughts was, this could happen to someone who is affected by domestic abuse. trauma is in the room and if i am affected like this and i consider that i am someone,

i can roll with the punches, i've been around this environment for a long time, i've seen things but this... i let my guard down in a space that i thought i was safe in because we deal with violence against women. now, violence isn't always physical. it can be verbal. and that felt like violence to me and when you put your hand in my hair like i'm not even a person, you can do what you want and say what you want, then i don't want to be in your presence but i have to consider people and so i stayed. how many times do we stay in situations we are uncomfortable so we don't make other people uncomfortable? that's a conversation that has to be held. ., ., , , ., ~ ., ., held. ngozi fulani speaking to sarah

despite its affluent areas and major employers, six out of ten of the most deprived communities in wales are in cardiff. the latest figures show only one is based in the south wales valleys which has long been where the greatest areas of deprivation are to be found. sarah dickins has the details: the shiny new buildings and sparkly lights of cardiff. in general terms, one of the more affluent parts of wales, but hidden away, not far from the city centre, is what's being referred to as a seven of deprivation. trowbridge in the east of the city is part of that. the pantry is just one of many groups supporting communities. local people pay £5 and get £20 of food and essentials. i have worked in community work all my life and i am still shocked by the fact

that we have people who are eating pet food, people trying to heat theirfood on a radiator or a candle. you know, these are shocking stories that are actually the truth. we know from trusted people that have ended up sharing those in tears with us. it should not happen. they supply more than 100 people a week. one member is elizabeth williams. has been part of this community for 28 years. her son is working but she and her partner are not. i normally go without, to try and make things better. people make conversation on the bus, i hear stories all the time. not stories, the reality of how people are coping. and notjust people who are on benefits, people who are working long hours as well. the pantry is also a place where people talk about their struggles. cardiff is a flourishing city,

we love living here, but there are pockets of deprivation which is simply not acceptable and we have to do what we can to address that poverty. his call comes amid predictions that real wages and prosperity are unlikely to pick up for many months to come. around 145,000 people live with parkinson's in the uk and according to one charity it's the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. for the past ten years a dedicated dance class for those with the condition has been running in dorset. it's part of a research project to see if the movement created by dancing can help manage the symptoms of the disease. edward sault reports. spread those fingers as far and as wide as you can. boom. this dance class in bournemouth is a class with a difference. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. it is for people with parkinson's and their carers or loved ones such as robin and meg.

it is therapeutic because there's not much available for parkinson's. and it is unique, this one. so, when you are with groups i of people that really have either the same or even may be more complicated problems, - it is comfortable, _ you don't feel embarrassed. give me a nice big boom on this one, boom. so what are the benefits for those who come here? quite a common thing that people face when they have parkinson's is freezing or festination of their feet where their feet feel glued to the floor. by doing the weight transfers we do during class, and the rhythms of the marching and all those exercises, they are to give people tools to carry on with the rest of their day. we want as many people living with parkinson's as possible to dance because we know that it benefits them from their soul, from their mind to their body, as it does for everybody but specifically for people living with parkinson's who are living with this condition day in, day out.

and that is something endorsed by those here today. i feel good. i always do, i always feel relaxed. yes, you get out what you put in. what you're trying to do - is get your posture and everything is good as you can get having got parkinson's which is a damn - nuisance, to be honest. similar classes have sashayed their way to the new forest and dorchester too, proving that dance can be for everyone. edward sault, bbc south today, in bournemouth. a couple from gloucestershire are hoping to give away 2000 football shirts to children who might not have much under the tree for them this christmas. paul and lizzie watson started the project in 2020 and hope it'll reduce the pressure on parents and give young people a sense of identity. andy howard has been to meet them. this living room is a football fan's dream. hundreds of football shirts

from across the world, the two big glasgow clubs, liverpool, everton, shirts from portugal, spain and even burnley where they are at the moment. they are ready to be sent around the country. why do you do it? growing up i always loved football shirts, that was my favourite present, so we wanted to bring that to some children around the country who otherwise might struggle at christmas. how do you get them? there are shirts from all corners of the globe here. there really are. we order in shirts with the donations we receive and people also send very good condition second hand shirts. it must be quite an operation, it must take up a fair bit of your time. it feels like a full—time job! it started very small. this idea started with ten football shirts and trying to find someone to give them to and now we are looking

at this quantity and we cannot really move for football shirts! and we both have full—time jobs and two young boys so we are not getting much sleep! it is great and we will bring you more detail on points west later but safe to say the target here is 2000 football shirts going out across the country for that magic of opening it up for someone on christmas day. andy howard, bbc points west. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett we have seen some sunshine in a few places today, london for example, in other southern parts it's been a struggle with that mist

in the morning that kept it cold, a range of temperatures as we crept into the evening. these are the numbers. for scotland and northern ireland. a lot of cloud here but in england and wales the winds are next to nothing which is what we will see mist and fog thickening again especially for east wales, the midlands and the west country. further north it could be misty and murky over the hills for scotland with dampness in the earth is that low cloud sits on high ground. there was temperatures will be across rural parts of wales where the cloud comes and goes. temperatures will not be far away from freezing for a time. tomorrow some brightness and sunshine across northern ireland, still a lot of cloud across scotland and northern england, mist and fog further south will lift to the midlands and southern and eastern parts of england, we may even see some sunshine with some showers coming in on that easterly breeze that starting to develop. temperatures typically 7—9 on friday afternoon. as we head into the weekend

a weather front approaches the far north—west but it's not getting anywhere, getting blocked off by that high pressure from scandinavia so more of an easterly breeze across england and wales, some areas of cloud and sunshine and one or two light showers. towards the north west of scotland and northern ireland thicker cloud, maybe some light rain and drizzle and temperatures may be a shade lower on saturday, 7—8, starting to feel colder as the weekend goes on and that is because as we head into sunday we have this run of easterly winds keeping us in the cold air and it will start to feel colder as the winds pick up, that will be more noticeable so again on sunday there will be some sunshine here and there, a few showers coming in in on that easterly breeze, mainly down the eastern side of england and scotland, a possibility of snow on the mountains. there was that easterly wind. a bit stronger on sunday, it will make it feel colder. those are the temperatures on the thermometer but if you were

out in that wind you can drop a few degrees and it will feel more like 2 or 3 celsius in the afternoon.

this is bbc news. the highest since records began. she deteriorated mentally really quickly. and that is a direct result of how poorly she was because of how long she had been left. a black british charity campaigner who was asked at a royal reception "where are you really from?" says her treatment amounted to abuse. no matter how uncomfortable it is for people to accept, i am very

clear that
