anything for granted, doesn't respect the opposition in whatever form, and i think that we've always done that, always shown teams respect no matter what form they're in, what players they have got, and will continue doing that. senegal have waited 20 years to play in the knockout phase of the world cup and the african champions are not lacking in motivation. we don't play only for senegal. we play for the continent and we know the reaction from outside. they will try to push us so as players we have to push and give our best. at this stage of the last world cup, england needed penalties to overcome colombia. four years on, they and their fans will be desperately hoping

for a less dramatic passage to the quarter—finals. dan roan, bbc news, doha. sir eltonjohn has been announced as the headline act at glastonbury next summer. it's being billed as the last uk date of his farewell yellow brick road tour, with sir elton saying there's no more fitting way to say goodbye. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. hello, and good evening to you. it is getting colder. it is december, after all and by the time we get to the middle of the week ahead it is going to feel colder still. this is what the weather map looks like. a large area of high pressure here has developed across russia and it is pushing the atmosphere, the air, the wind towards the uk, so coming out of an easterly direction. if i show you the temperature of the atmosphere, the blue, the air is

coming from scandinavia, not quite siberia, which is way to the so our air is coming from the baltic and it's cold enough. this is what it is like early saturday morning. not too much of a frost because the breeze will prevent the temperatures falling to low and we will not see much mist or fog falling to low and we will not see much mist orfog apart falling to low and we will not see much mist or fog apart from local mist orfog. a much mist or fog apart from local mist or fog. a few showers around eastern coasts tomorrow may be drifting further inland on the easterly breeze, damp weather in the north west of scotland here with closer to mild weather, so a balmy 10 degrees in stornoway but for most of us it is around six or seven celsius. on sunday i think really quite cloudy conditions across the south of the country, there is a raw field to things. further showers around the north sea coast drifting across the pennines towards north—western england, and five or 6 degrees on the thermometer but the wind will make it feel like it is maybe two or three celsius. so a really chilly day but nothing spectacularly cold. and then into next week, rather than an easterly,

we will start to see cold northerly winds developing and may be some wintry showers across scotland and hilly areas. this is the outlook into next week, temperatures dipping down to 4 degrees. the average this time of year in london is closer to around eight so we are a few degrees below average but as i say it is december. back to you, clive. thank you, tomasz schafernaker. that's it. theres more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight, which isjust getting under way on bbc two. and, of course the news continues here on bbc on, as we join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are ali miraj, a columnist at the article,

and kevin schofield, the political editor of huffpost uk. tomorrow's front pages starting with... many of tomorrow's papers lead on the deaths of at least six children in england and wales since september from the strep a bacterial infection. numbers of cases are now five times higher than before the covid pandemic, according to the telegraph. it's also interviewed the foreign secretary james cleverley about ukraine. he cautions that any peace talks with the russian president could be used to rearm troops. the daily mail reports on what it describes as a "surge" in strep a cases. it suggests that could be linked with lockdowns and lower childhood immunity. the mirror also splashes on the strep a story. it reports that doctors are urging parents to check primary school age children for symptoms. according to a poll about brexit

published by the i, one in seven leave voters say they would now vote remain. but the survey found no majority for the uk to rejoin the eu. the royal college of nursing has said that a&e, cancer and maternity departments will not be excluded from its strikes later this month. analysis by the newspaper suggests up to iao—thousand patients could have operations and consultations cancelled. and finally the daily star's front page focuses on the cost of living crisis and the traditional christmas dinner being under threat, costing 22 percent more this year due to inflation. so, let's begin. so there is little flavour of the papers you will be waking up to sunday morning. very good evening to

you both. kevin you will cook us off please. it is a story that for many parents rather a rather stressful time looking up at symptoms and really worrying. so the front page of the male isjust really worrying. so the front page of the male is just one of the papers that is covering the story, lockdown linked to two new search as it describes the strap a outbreak. —— strep a. it is a very worrying time for parents and it is really shocking six young children have already died of this strep a infection. already died of this strep a infection-— already died of this strep a infection. �* , ., ., infection. and there is warning for arents to infection. and there is warning for parents to look _ infection. and there is warning for parents to look for _ infection. and there is warning for parents to look for symptoms - infection. and there is warning for parents to look for symptoms like j parents to look for symptoms like sore throats, skin rash and to seek medical help if you do you find the symptoms. the speculation, the belief is it is a knock on effect

from lockdown when schools were close for quite some time for stopped children were not mingling with each other building up immunity from affections that they might otherwise have done. it has left them more susceptible now that these infections are on the rise. so it is very important for parents, especially of young children to keep an eye out for the symptoms. it is the fact that _ an eye out for the symptoms. it is the fact that it — an eye out for the symptoms. it is the fact that it can, _ an eye out for the symptoms. it is the fact that it can, this is something many children will have and will have fairly mild symptoms that it and will have fairly mild symptoms thatitis and will have fairly mild symptoms that it is this description of the invasive group a strap that is raising concerns. it invasive group a strap that is raising concerns.— invasive group a strap that is raising concerns. it is absolutely and kevin has _ raising concerns. it is absolutely and kevin has outlined - raising concerns. it is absolutely and kevin has outlined the - raising concerns. it is absolutely and kevin has outlined the issue very welt — and kevin has outlined the issue very well. the real concern here is that lockdown has potentially reduced immunity particularly amongst kids. you have an issue right— amongst kids. you have an issue right now— amongst kids. you have an issue right now where the rate of scarlet

fever _ right now where the rate of scarlet fever is _ right now where the rate of scarlet fever i512 — right now where the rate of scarlet fever is 12 times the rate of you usually— fever is 12 times the rate of you usually see. and there is also some confusion _ usually see. and there is also some confusion around the use of antibodies it seems that some medical— antibodies it seems that some medical authorities are advising against — medical authorities are advising against the use of antibiotics because _ against the use of antibiotics because they are need to be sparingly. but in the at least one of these cases the parents of one of the children have argued that had antibodies had been prescribed earlier, — antibodies had been prescribed earlier, it — antibodies had been prescribed earlier, it may have actually averted _ earlier, it may have actually averted a _ earlier, it may have actually averted a death. obviously tragic and extremely sad for the parents invoived~ — and extremely sad for the parents involved. so all parents tonight will be — involved. so all parents tonight will be concerned about this. i think— will be concerned about this. i think everyone will be looking and keeping _ think everyone will be looking and keeping an eye out for the kids and ithink— keeping an eye out for the kids and i think the signs basically are, red rash and — i think the signs basically are, red rash and sore throat. sol i think the signs basically are, red rash and sore throat. so i think everyone — rash and sore throat. so i think everyone will be very mindful and obviously — everyone will be very mindful and obviously our thoughts go out to all the parents who have lost loved kids _ the parents who have lost loved kids. , , .., , the parents who have lost loved kids. , , , ., , kids. interesting because a number of --aers kids. interesting because a number of papers are _ kids. interesting because a number of papers are covering _ kids. interesting because a number of papers are covering the -

kids. interesting because a number of papers are covering the story, i of papers are covering the story, the telegraph being one of them. they go on to detail some of the advice that has been given. it is going back to the advice we first had when covid broke out and it is washing her hands for at least 20 seconds, blocking your mouth and nose when you are snoozing. difficult though to instill that sort of advice and having in primary school children.— sort of advice and having in primary school children. absolutely, we have a six-vear-old _ school children. absolutely, we have a six-year-old ourselves _ school children. absolutely, we have a six-year-old ourselves and - school children. absolutely, we have a six-year-old ourselves and those l a six—year—old ourselves and those habits, it is good to have those habits, it is good to have those habits that were picked up during lockdown, the washing hands and that and that has stuck thankfully but you are very right especially in kids when they are at school together they are mingling, coughing and sneezing and wiping their nose and sneezing and wiping their nose and what have you. it is impossible, basically to keep them safe. and there is a lot of pressure now on schools as well. as for teachers to

keep an eye out for the symptoms as well and to take appropriate action if you see any children potentially with these infections. it is a very worrying time, again with the reinforcement of the good habits that have been picked up over the last for use in make them realise that they have to keep doing it because clearly we don't want them to pick up these infections right now. , , , ., to pick up these infections right now, , , ., , y now. just before he finished off, we must make — now. just before he finished off, we must make the _ now. just before he finished off, we must make the point _ now. just before he finished off, we must make the point that _ now. just before he finished off, we must make the point that obviously| must make the point that obviously the rates are not any higher really than previous years. do you get the sense that the papers might be over doing this somewhat? i sense that the papers might be over doing this somewhat?— doing this somewhat? i think after covid everyone _ doing this somewhat? i think after covid everyone is _ doing this somewhat? i think after covid everyone is on _ doing this somewhat? i think after covid everyone is on high - doing this somewhat? i think after covid everyone is on high alert - doing this somewhat? i think afterj covid everyone is on high alert will stop what— covid everyone is on high alert will stop what this does show is the danger of— stop what this does show is the danger of lockdown and i am not against — danger of lockdown and i am not against lockdown, i think we needed to take _ against lockdown, i think we needed to take those actions when we did. a lot of— to take those actions when we did. a lot of people take a different view, but wouldn't the negative effects of this is— but wouldn't the negative effects of

lot of people thought, it is the absolute last result the first time in over 100 years that the members of the rcn have actually walked out but i guess it was an expectation that that would be a bare minimum of service level given a duty of care effect for the parents. but with the times is saying is that emergency departments maternity care and cancer words will not be excluded from this action. so if you require nifty services on these particular strictest the chances are you will not get treated or not to the level of treatment that you would otherwise expect. as we have said, this particular time of year when there is so much extra pressure on hospitals and the nhs at the best of times, this willjust add even more pressure to an already creaking service and add further to the backlogs which have already built up

during the covid lockdown. the paper does say that — during the covid lockdown. the paper does say that they _ during the covid lockdown. the paper does say that they have _ during the covid lockdown. the paper does say that they have run _ during the covid lockdown. the paper does say that they have run some - does say that they have run some you go pulling and 65%, they have a 65% level of support from the public. for this trick action. round one is what we will come up to come around two of the strikes could be january. interesting to see if that support is still there. i interesting to see if that support is still there.— is still there. i think that the ublic is is still there. i think that the public is broadly _ is still there. i think that the public is broadly supportive l is still there. i think that the i public is broadly supportive and is still there. i think that the - public is broadly supportive and i think— public is broadly supportive and i think that — public is broadly supportive and i think that was also the case with the real— think that was also the case with the real strikers. the reason for this is— the real strikers. the reason for this is that _ the real strikers. the reason for this is that this has been building up this is that this has been building up for— this is that this has been building up for over— this is that this has been building up for over a decade, real wages in many— up for over a decade, real wages in many parts — up for over a decade, real wages in many parts of the public sector have been following for a decade and this is all manifesting itself now. the unfortunate thing for the government is, it spent— unfortunate thing for the government is, it spent 400 billion on covid. huge _ is, it spent 400 billion on covid. huge amount of public spending and that public spending has to be paid for, that public spending has to be paid for. taxes — that public spending has to be paid for, taxes are already going up to the highest rate in decades. and i understand that the current members of the _ understand that the current members of the public sector went pay raises a course _ of the public sector went pay raises
