�* cold overnight, not be desperately cold overnight, temperatures just a few degrees above freezing. through tomorrow, anywhere from the coast of aberdeenshire all the way down to lincolnshire will have showers and one or two will be brisk pushing inland as well so the best of the weather will be out towards the west. on the thermometer, around 6—7 on saturday. then through the course of sunday, notice however thing gets pushed out into the atlantic. it is because that high pressure that i showed you early on across russia is strong, so the winds are blowing in off the north sea, really feeling quite raw on sunday around some eastern areas. not spectacularly cold on the thermometer, seven may be in newcastle, round about that in 08, but if we add the wind it will feel like it is barely above freezing. in fact, feel like it is barely above freezing. infact, if feel like it is barely above freezing. in fact, if we look at the outlook, we are expecting a northerly to develop as well. nothing out of the ordinary, this is

ourfirst colder nothing out of the ordinary, this is our first colder spell of the early winter, but certainly the chance of some flurries coming to scotland at some flurries coming to scotland at some point. back to you. thank you. and that is it from the bbc news at. the news continues on bbc one and it is time tojoin the news continues on bbc one and it is time to join our colleagues in the regions. thanks, sophie. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. our headlines this evening. another twist in the group stage tale. this world cup delivers more drama with south korea going through to the last 16. the other side of the coin features the face of luis suarez — forced to watch on as uruguay go out after playing his part in the emotionally—charged rematch with ghana. so often a model of world cup consistency — we ask why germany have failed for a second tournament in a row. also coming up in the programme: we'll be with the england squad in qatar.

it's pakistan's turn to pile on the runs in rawalpindi as england's bowlers don't enjoy themselves as much as their batters. and tyson fury�*s back in the ring promising a "christmas cracker" against derek chisora when they fight for his wbc world heavyweight title. hello again. thanks forjoining us. i'm not sure if there's a way of measuring this, but it certainly feels like this world cup group stage has delivered more extraordinary stories than any other. early shocks have made way for big surprises in the final round of games in qatar, and you can add this afternoon's matches to that growing list. group h appeared to be heading for a predictable ending before more chaos came our way.

andy swiss reports. another day of quite remarkable world cup drama. luis suarez�*s uruguay knew they had to beat gone on, and when they took a lead, it was all going swimmingly —— ghana. uruguay was going through unless south korea could find a winner against the already qualified portugal and an injury time, guess what. portugal and an in'ury time, guess what. �* ., ., . ., , what. and south korea cleared up the coal! that what. and south korea cleared up the goal! that sends _ what. and south korea cleared up the goal! that sends them _ what. and south korea cleared up the goal! that sends them into _ what. and south korea cleared up the goal! that sends them into the - what. and south korea cleared up the goal! that sends them into the last i goal! that sends them into the last 16! ., ., ., ., 16! now, south korea were heading throu~h. 16! now, south korea were heading through- they— 16! now, south korea were heading through. they had _ 16! now, south korea were heading through. they had the _ 16! now, south korea were heading through. they had the same - 16! now, south korea were heading| through. they had the same number 16! now, south korea were heading . through. they had the same number of points as uruguay, but crucially scored more goals. as word reached uruguay and the now substituted suarez, theirjoy suddenly uruguay and the now substituted suarez, their joy suddenly turned uruguay and the now substituted suarez, theirjoy suddenly turned to panic. they simply had to score, and how close they came. but the chances

went begging and after ten agonising minutes of stoppage time, it was all over. �* , ., , , over. and the referee blows his whistle, over. and the referee blows his whistle. and — over. and the referee blows his whistle, and they're _ over. and the referee blows his whistle, and they're out. - over. and the referee blows his whistle, and they're out. the i over. and the referee blows his l whistle, and they're out. the pair of them _ whistle, and they're out. the pair of them out. whistle, and they're out. the pair of them out-— whistle, and they're out. the pair of them out. despair for suarez, so often football's _ of them out. despair for suarez, so often football's pantomime - of them out. despair for suarez, so often football's pantomime villain, | often football's pantomime villain, and fury and frustration among some of his team—mates. for south korea, who had been watching nervously, erupted in pure euphoria. they're through to the last 16 by the slanderous the margins on another day of extraordinary emotion. andy swiss, bbc news. portable still go through as group winners, and that is the difference there between second and third. south korea moving above uruguay. yet another group but is finished on a knife edge. and i wonder how ghana are feeling. hell on revenge, they said. —— hell—bent.

they didn't win, but luis suarez ended up on the losing side. how group g finishes will determine who portugal and south korea play in the last 16, and much like group h, one of the teams is already through ahead of tonight's final games. brazil have won two out of two, most recently against switzerland thanks to casemiro's late goal. they'll be without neymar again for their match against cameroon as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. no team has yet won three out of three in the group stage. they could be the first and only. just like the uruguay/ghana game had echoes of a past world cup, tonight's other match in group g conjures up memories from the last tournament in 2018. unless cameroon spring a surprise, serbia and switzerland will be playing for the runners up spot behind brazil, and it's a rematch of a politically—charged game four years ago. shaimaa khalil is at stadium 974.

shaimaa, take us through the historical context to this one. politically charged game also being called the political grudge game, and this all goes back to 2018. two names are in the middle of this controversy. they are two ethnic albanian players who have families of corrosive and they celebrated with the double eagle gesture. this is something that serbia found provocative and they were fined for it. it inflamed already very volatile tensions between ethnic albanians and serbian nationalists. the country's majority

albanian and declared independence from serbia after a very violent history in the 1990s with the violent crackdown on ethnic albanians that ended in 1999. fast forward four years later in qatar, fifa is investigating the serbian football association because allegedly, a hatefulflag was hung in the serbian dressing room when they faced brazil. essentially showing as part of serbia. it had the serbian map and it had xhosa vo in the serbian colours. we know the minister for culture and youth described this as hateful. fifa said it is investigating. the serbian football association has not commented yet, but even before

kick—off, there is so much tension. eyes are going to be on the players who said that their minds will be on the football. but also on the stands, to see how the serbian crowd reacts. �* , ., �* stands, to see how the serbian crowd reacts. �* �* , , reacts. and you're right, because swirlin: reacts. and you're right, because swirling around _ reacts. and you're right, because swirling around all _ reacts. and you're right, because swirling around all of _ reacts. and you're right, because swirling around all of this - reacts. and you're right, because swirling around all of this is - reacts. and you're right, because swirling around all of this is a - swirling around all of this is a game of football, which has quite a lot at stake. ._ lot at stake. . exactly. we haven't even talked _ lot at stake. . exactly. we haven't even talked about _ lot at stake. . exactly. we haven't even talked about football. - lot at stake. . exactly. we haven't even talked about football. so - lot at stake. . exactly. we haven't i even talked about football. so much is riding on this because in this group, brazil is pretty much through. unless we get more drama. you are mentioning the drama that south korea delivered. if cameroon, and it's going to take a lot to turn this around, but brazil is through, so so much tension in an already tense game. so so much tension in an already tense game-— so so much tension in an already tense game. thank you very much indeed, shaimaa _ tense game. thank you very much indeed, shaimaa khalil. _ one of serbia or switzerland will be heading home, following in the footsteps of other european countries who would have expected to still be in qatar. first, it was denmark,

then yesterday, belgium and germany, who for the second tournament in a row have gone out at the group stage. despite winning their game against costa rica, it was a controversial goal that gave japan their victory over spain that ultimately sent them home. debate has raged over whether the ball was out of play. but not as much as you might have expected in germany, where they've focused on bigger problems. sportsjournalist marie schulte—bockum is in munich. marie, thank you very much for joining us. with the bollinger out? i think it was in. i say that with a heavy... i think it was in. i say that with a hea ., ., i think it was in. i say that with a hea w, , , heavy... fifa agree with you because the have heavy... fifa agree with you because they have today _ heavy... fifa agree with you because they have today tweeted _ heavy... fifa agree with you because they have today tweeted a _ heavy... fifa agree with you because they have today tweeted a video - they have today tweeted a video which essentially shows a mock—up where the ball was, saying other cameras may offer misleading images. not everyone is moving on, but is it fair to say that the german fans are

into qatar and showed the human rights situations on the ground. —— hitzleberger. so, germany and german society is very critical and many people including football fans have actually boycotted the world cup. they're choosing not to watch it. that's a mixed mood. before the japan game, there was the controversy around the one love armband, where england and germany and five other nations wanted to campaign for human rights and gay rights at the world cup, and that was pulled before the england game and germany followed suit. that was very heavily criticised here at home, so that was... i don't want to call it a distraction, but that overshadowed the element of the tournament. overshadowed the element of the tournament-—

you forjoining us- _ with the group stage about to end, focus will soon shift to the last 16 which starts tomorrow, with england's match against senegal on sunday night. alex howell is with the squad. although they've been training behind closed doors today, senegal desperate to remind england they shouldn't be underestimated. that's right. you do get the feeling that there is a big game around the corner. this is one of the sessions that fifa left nations behind closed doors, that today is one of the most tactical sessions that england do, so gareth �*s out base to be starting off on sunday —— southgate. there's been some big upsets in this tournament so far and he'll be wanting to avoid those. manchester city playerjohn stones was the

player speaking to the media, and i asked the centre back whether those upsets a focus to the team's mind. it's the best competition in the world, — it's the best competition in the world, that's why we've already seen bil world, that's why we've already seen big upsets _ world, that's why we've already seen big upsets and we definitely don't want to— big upsets and we definitely don't want to be one of those teams that takes _ want to be one of those teams that takes anything for granted, doesn't respect _ takes anything for granted, doesn't respect the opposition in whatever form _ respect the opposition in whatever form i_ respect the opposition in whatever form. i think we have always done that, _ form. i think we have always done that, always shown teams respect, no matter— that, always shown teams respect, no matter what _ that, always shown teams respect, no matter what form they're in and what players _ matter what form they're in and what players they've got. we'll continue doing _ players they've got. we'll continue doing that. is interesting because you have one team saying they don't want to underestimate saying, and the opponent saying they don't want to be underestimated.— opponent saying they don't want to be underestimated. that's right. the reason they — be underestimated. that's right. the reason they don't _ be underestimated. that's right. the reason they don't want _ be underestimated. that's right. the reason they don't want to _ be underestimated. that's right. the reason they don't want to be - reason they don't want to be underestimated is because a few of

their key players are injured. but any team would miss a player of this quality when you can see the effect on not liverpool side. this is the first time they've been in the knockout stages of the world cup for 20 years, so they would be highly motivated. it's a match that the england team will have to be very focused on if they don't want to be flying home on monday. mex... to be flying home on monday. alex, thank ou to be flying home on monday. alex, thank you very _ to be flying home on monday. alex, thank you very much _ to be flying home on monday. alex, thank you very much indeed. - so, senegal are something of an unknown, especially bearing in mind england have never faced them. they are 13 places below gareth southgate's side in the world rankings, but they're the african champions — qualified via a tough process in the continent — and made it out of their group with a win over ecuador. but former england midfielder danny murphy has told our sports editor dan roan that england should be confident. if we apply ourselves in the right way, in terms of off the ball

tenacity, courageous in terms of pressing hi, risking getting done on the odd break away on the counterattack, because that's the key. when you play good intensity, when you play in a team is really good, you have to accept it. you have to believe what you're doing is the right thing. you can't do it in fear. i think when you look at our team today, if we do that, i think we'll cause them more problems. it's nothing to fear. we'll cause them more problems. it's nothing to fear-— nothing to fear. would you stick with the team _ nothing to fear. would you stick with the team against _ nothing to fear. would you stick with the team against wales? i nothing to fear. would you stick. with the team against wales? the first 11 isn't _ with the team against wales? tue: first 11 isn't important. it's with the team against wales? tt9 first 11 isn't important. it's the mentality of the attackers. i said this from day one. i would play rashford. but if you play rashford or sterling, for me, it's about the mentality of going on the pitch. i

still want to see high energy, go after them, still want to see high energy, go afterthem, make still want to see high energy, go after them, make them uncomfortable, make them intimidated. but who actually plays? does henderson play? distributor play? we got five roots in very difficult conditions —— does tripper play. we got real quality on the bench. it's a mentality and the tactics. , ~ , , you're watching sportsday. here are some of our other headlines. as was widely expected, the chinese grand prix has been cancelled. it's the fourth successive year it won't go ahead. the event in shanghai was due to return to the sport's racing calendar in 2023, but has been called off because of china's covid policies. the new essex chairman, azeem akhtar, has "voluntarily stepped aside" whilst the club conducts an independent review into historic social media posts.

akhtar was only appointed on monday, with the club currently under a "noncompliance process" after significantly missing ecb diversity targets. and eddiejones will find out by the middle of next week whether he'll be sacked as england head coach. the rfu are holding a review after england's disappointing performances in the autumn internationals culminating in a 27—13 loss to south africa last saturday. there's been a big upset at the scottish open in edinburgh where former world champion judd trump lost to world number 57 thepchaiya un—nooh of thailand. the match went down to an extra black, with the englishman's miss proving costly. un—nooh, who almost lost his professional tour card last season, will play kyren wilson in the semi—final. orgary or gary wilson. england's cricketers have continued their record—breaking start in their opening test in pakistan, but day two's play has suggested it might not necessarily

lead them to victory. the home side are a76 behind still with ten first innings wickets in hand as batters continued to make hay on a pitch so flat even the pakistan cricket board chief has called it "embarrasssing". joe wilson reports. records day two. harry brooks hit 27 from one over. beating his england record from day one. this from olie robinson was the sixth which took the total. ended with 657. england's highest ever score against pakistan. of highest ever score against pakistan. of course, you back your team through everything. now pakistan have the chance. their opportunity to use the favourable conditions. everything suiting to bat, still having to score the runs. if england wanted to actually win this match, they had to take wickets. a challenge for bowlers and captain

which quickly seemed insurmountable. pope, in for the ill folks, and this catch was actually not one... replay showed the ball bounced into glove not out. the camera was trying to keep up. where's the ball? fortunately, the umpire saw enough, just to manoeuvre. it is seriously a perilous position. the feeling grew that england had bulled until midnight without taking a wicket. they ceased at sunset, pakistan would redo on day three. —— resume. joe wilson, bbc news. with pakistan piling on the runs, we've talked to statistician who has been seriously rewriting records.—

they pose for the traditional face—to—face showdown. neither man wanted to blink first. it was a very long stare. there's been a distinct lack of animosity and the build—up. two combustible personalities but none of the usual shenanigans. derek chisora said that's because he has a lot of respect for tyson fury, but the fact he's been given this opportunity after his last attempt, this opportunity has come about because the proposed vowel against anthonyjoshua fell through. they anthony joshua fell through. they know anthonyjoshua fell through. they know each other well. they faced each other twice before. it was a pretty impressive victory for tyson fury. the general consensus is that tyson fury is a heavy favourite. if he does secure the victory, possibly

will have a unification bout. he will have a unification bout. he will be an interesting spectator on saturday night, and his promoter told me that he's here in london to show tyson fury that he is serious about a showdown. first time in full era, in heavy weight— first time in full era, in heavy weight decision, there is a fight that can — weight decision, there is a fight that can unify. it's a special moment— that can unify. it's a special moment because he has a chance to unify the _ moment because he has a chance to unify the belt in two divisions. so, it's a _ unify the belt in two divisions. so, it's a specific— unify the belt in two divisions. so, it's a specific moment. he can't miss this — it's a specific moment. he can't miss this opportunity. of course, he will want _ miss this opportunity. of course, he will want to— miss this opportunity. of course, he will want to look into the eyes of his next— will want to look into the eyes of his next opponent, see how things are going — his next opponent, see how things are going. at the end of the day, we have everything on board. that's alex krassyuk. as you can

hear, they're serious. tyson fury needs to handle this business on saturday night against derek chisora. one, they're fighting outdoors. it's going to be very cold. no rain, but has been very chilly. both men will need to warm up chilly. both men will need to warm up and stay warm. the other danger for tyson fury is complacency. i haven't spoken to anybody here, including former fighters, who believe that derek chisora has a serious chance of winning this. fury says he will stand toe—to—toe, and you can never write anybody off. you've heard the old cliche, when you have two been men, anything can happen. it derek chisora will have to have the best night of his career and tyson fury will have an awesome —— an off night.

very much indeed. anything can happen. so once again this astonishing world cup group stage has kept us guessing right until the end. today, we have ourfinal group today, we have our final group to today, we have ourfinal group to be decided. portugal taking an early lead against south korea. that focus everyone towards the uruguay game against ghana. kim young—gwon... equalised with just over half then in added time, hee—chan swang scored the winner. cue wild celebrations for south korea, who go through instead of uruguay. they would have gone throughout korea's expense. what will the other teams dish up later? we can only

guess. that's all from work today. goodbye for now. hello again. we should see a bit more sunshine around this weekend. the fog is getting blown away. we still left with some cloud in the northwest of scotland and for a while across northern ireland, so a bit milder here, but more broken cloud otherwise and easterly breeze bringing in a few showers towards those north sea coast. it can be quite chilly and southeast scotland. temperatures will be far away from freezing. but cloud should move away through much of northern ireland. more sunshine this time and the rest of scotland, and a few more showers, mainly coming in on the easterly breeze, across eastern parts of england. temperature similar to where they have been. around 7 or 8

degrees. still a bit of sunshine around, probably more showers, more likely across the northern half. further south, fewer showers and probably a good covering of cloud. the winds will be stronger as, temperatures lower, and it will feel colder. around seven or 8 degrees. we stayed in colder air over the weekend and it actually will get
