this is bbc news — i'm annita mcveigh with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. moscow warns the eu and the g7 against adopting a price cap on russian oil, saying it would endanger their energy security. health officials in britain warn parents to look out for symptoms of a condition caused by strep a. five children in england and one in wales have died. the uk pledges £14 million in humanitarian aid for somalia, as the east african nation is in the grip of its worst drought for a0 years. prince william awards the earthshot prize — recognising those working to address climate change. at the world cup, the group stage comes to an end with south korea grabbing a late winner to reach the last 16, at the
10:01 am
expense of uruguay. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. western allies have agreed to put a cap on the price of russian oil. the g7 group of nations, as well as australia and the european union, have decided that no country should pay more than $60 a barrel — slightly below the current price of $64. the us says it will "immediately cut into putin's most important source of revenue". louisa pilbeam reports. the latest russian missile strike in kharkiv, more destruction and suffering in a war that is showing no sign of ending.
10:02 am
but a move by the g7 — the world's seven largest advanced economies, australia and the european union, to cap the price of russian oil is hoped to bring an end this war closer. they have agreed to restrict the price of russian oil at $60 a barrel — hoping to wound russia with another financial sanction. this price cap has three objectives. first, it strengthens the effect of our sanction. second, it will further diminish russia's revenues. and thirdly, at the same time, it will stabilise global energy markets. the limit will come in on monday, after the eu persuaded poland to back the plan after warsaw initially considered it too high. and some market experts believe it's more of a symbol of rebellion against the kremlin, than a realistic financial weapon.
10:03 am
they want one measure in place to suddenly contribute to that discount being bigger, but not as large as some wanted, and the fact it has taken the eu so long to agree on a cap is because some countries which tend to be hawkish on russian wanted that cap to be much lower. other experts say sanctions like this are hurting russia, but president vladimir putin is still making huge amounts of money through oil. the kremlin denounced the scheme, saying it would not supply those countries which enforced a price cap. before the war, more than half of russia's oil exports went to europe, but russia has found new markets in india and china — and new money to fund its war. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. let's go live to kyiv, our correspondent jessica parker is there. what is a reaction in ukraine to this cap, does it go far enough? i
10:04 am
think the sense we have had in a statement from the prison at�*s offices may not quite although the always welcome action from western allies the likes of the g7 or eu to try and sanction russia, but the suggestion this morning from grzegorz krychowiak is something like in terms of hurting the russian economy, but it is also about trying to eat into the revenues of the kremlin that they were used to finance the war that continues here in ukraine. as we have been hearing, quite a lot of questions about the potential efficacy of this cap, we will have to wait and see in terms of what impact actually has, but the ranking that has been going on again speak to the very difficult to shake up speak to the very difficult to shake up energy. we have heard it around gas prices caps and now this oil cap as well, there's always a fear amongst some countries of the
10:05 am
law—abiding intended consequence that the police are trying to intervene with the energy market, are you putting security of supply at risk? that was why some countries were keen to keep it around the $60 mark or higher but of the more hawkish nations, pulled and the baltic states wanted to go up harder in terms of trying to squeeze those revenues going into the kremlin from the very valuable fossil fuel. lets the very valuable fossil fuel. lets talk more broadly _ the very valuable fossil fuel. lets talk more broadly about how the country is coping in the aftermath of those recent russian attacks on critical infrastructure, as we have been reporting, having an impact on how much power people have. yes. as ou miaht how much power people have. yes. as you might get — how much power people have. yes. as you might get a _ how much power people have. yes. as you might get a sense _ how much power people have. yes. as you might get a sense it _ how much power people have. yes. as you might get a sense it is _ how much power people have. yes. as you might get a sense it is windy - you might get a sense it is windy and extremely cold here in kyiv today and emergency outages we are told to continue in the city. kyiv has been one of the worst hit areas after attempts by russia some extent
10:06 am
successful by causing power outages by heating the energy grid. in day—to—day lives i would say the government has been encouraging the establishment of what are called points of invincibility, shelter is that people can go to if they don't have power or access sometimes to fresh water but that is somewhere they can go for a bid to charge their phones, they company vendor, it isjust a their phones, they company vendor, it is just a temporary shelter if you need to get warm but then also talk to people about what they're doing on an individual basis, you hear quite a lot of people saying they are in contact with friends and family about they can go people can come to them if and when they both have power or they don't have power, stocking up on water, warm clothes, buying torches, lanterns, that kind of thing, and a lot of people seem quite resilient genuinely but the whole thing, saying they think of the soldiers on the front line at the soldiers on the front line at the moment living in incredibly difficult conditions while also fighting sober does genuinely seem to be quite a lot of determination to be quite a lot of determination to get through this winter, what
10:07 am
might and the chris were exactly what is going to happen and when the next widespread russian missile strike may come.— here in the uk, health officials are urging parents to look out for the symptoms of scarlet fever, after six children in england and wales have died from the strep—a bacteria that causes it. infections are usually mild with symptoms like a sore throat, headache, and a skin rash and can be treated with antibiotics. but, in a very small number of cases, the infection can get into the lungs or bloodstream and becomes much harder to treat. let's get more on this with professor beate kampmann — professor of paediatric infection and immunity from the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. thank you forjoining us. let's put this into context first of all. a lot of parents and carers will be very worried to listening to the news about strep a, it is still
10:08 am
pretty unusual, isn't it, for it to cause really serious illness. yes and that message _ cause really serious illness. yes and that message needs to be out there loud and clear. many of us carry group outstrip in our noses and it is often completely asymptomatic and some people get tonsillitis and some children progress as target scholar trigger which is more systemic infection that includes producing a toxin that gives this rash and fever. it is rare that this becomes what we call invasive, so when we are talking about invasive group a strep and what has happened and children who have died and that is of tragic but it is an extremely rare occurrence. some of the symptoms like fever are common to lots of childhood ailments, aren't they, so what should parents and carers occurred for that is unique to strep a4 any infections it can cause. this for that is unique to strep a4 any infections it can cause.— infections it can cause. this is critical because _ infections it can cause. this is critical because many - infections it can cause. this isj critical because many children infections it can cause. this is - critical because many children get a sore throat especially at the moment
10:09 am
where we have so many viruses circulating as well and the vast majority is due to viral illnesses. the rash is very typical, it feels a bit like sandpaper, a red, very finally raised rash which is sometimes hard to spot the spending on skin tone. that sometimes hard to spot the spending on skin tone-— on skin tone. that is important, the appearance — on skin tone. that is important, the appearance of— on skin tone. that is important, the appearance of this _ on skin tone. that is important, the appearance of this rash _ on skin tone. that is important, the appearance of this rash may - on skin tone. that is important, the appearance of this rash may be - appearance of this rash may be different depending on the colour of the skin so if anyone thinks might be a rash there should they be feeling the skin as well as just looking at it? can you hear me? unfortunately we have a technical problem. we do apologise for that. that was professor from the london school of hygiene talking about strep a. the prince of wales has awarded his earthshot prizes, for environmental innovation,
10:10 am
at a ceremony in boston. the event — which was also attended by celebrity supporters of the prince's foundation — marks the end of william and catherine's us visit. let's take a look at those five winners. london—based notpla won the build a waste—free world prize for its packaging products made of seaweed. the protect and restore nature award went to indian firm kheyti whose greenhouses help protect small—hold farmers' crops. the fix our climate award went to 0man—based 44.01, which removes cardon dioxide from the atmosphere by turning it into rock. mukuru clean stoves of kenya won the clean our air category for its stoves that burn 70% less pollution than traditional stoves. and the queensland indigenous women rangers network won the revive our 0ceans category for training women to preserve australia's great barrier reef. somalia is in the grip of its worst drought for 40 years. the uk's development minister,
10:11 am
andrew mitchell, has been on a visit to somalia and promised £14 million in humanitarian aid and new security. he says large numbers of people are in danger of dying from the drought in somalia if the international community does not respond soon. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, james landale, was travelling with andrew mitchell and sent this report from the town of dollow in western of somalia. this is what drought is bringing to somalia. growing camps of people forced to leave their homes in search of food after four rainy seasons failed. we have come to dolow in the west amid tight security, to protect us from islamist militants who control much of the country. here, on a rare visit, is a british minister, seeing for himself how uk money has helped girls from the camps get some education, and what more needs to be done. the challenges here are immense, quite apart from the disorder of conflict, it is the challenges
10:12 am
caused by the drought, the fact that these people have moved away from where they used to live into these temporary camps. hamdi mohammed is one of those girls. 18 years old and very determined. translation: sometimes i go to sleep hungry and sometimes i cannot buy - the books i need for school but i motivate myself. i tell myself that some day things will not be like this and in the future i will be an important person and help my people. there are already more than 130,000 internal refugees here, with hundreds more arriving every day, a scene replicated in towns across the country. this is not a normal. drought that we know. this is a real climate change crisis. - so what needs to be done? we have to make surel
10:13 am
that we are saving life. that we are averting the worst to come, in terms of famine. we have to make sure that - the children who are malnourished, who are 1.8 million, _ are rescued and they are not dying. andrew mitchell is promising more money for security and humanitarian needs, but it is less than britain has given in the past. we have got to do two things here. we have got to beat back the terrorists, and we are, and the government of somalia has shown considerable gains in recent weeks on that, and we have got to address the effects of this drought both in the long term through climate change work and in the short—term, now, going to the aid of desperate people and saving lives. can the british government really make an impact in places like this, when its budget forforeign aid remains cut? it is probably not money that is the key issue here, it is coordination and making sure that everyone else steps up to the plate alongside britain to deliver for people here who, as i say, are in danger of dying
10:14 am
in very large numbers if the international community does not react properly. a british minister coming here can make a difference. he can promise a bit more money. he can focus the attention of a world distracted by other crises. but can he stop the fighting? can he slow the climate change that many believe is at the root of this problem? james landale, bbc news, in western somalia. to the world cup now — and south korea have made it through to the knockout stages with a dramatic late win against portugal — a result that means uruguay are out. their winning goal hit the net in stoppage time after they initially went a goal down afterjust five minutes. they then faced a nervous wait before the result came through from the uruguay—ghana game. uruguay failed to score a third goal which would have sent them through instead. if you're wondering what it meant to the fans watching back in seoul — just take a look at these pictures. and here's what the south korean
10:15 am
fans in doha made of the result. awesome! i can't breathe! i almost fainted during the play, really literally. captain son was amazing. excitedly speaks korean. i think with this type - of performance, we can beat brazil and go all the way to one? semifinal, finals, i win the world cup. south korea will take on brazil on monday, but other teams will begin their games in the round of 16 later. first up is the netherlands and the usa. then it's two—time winners argentina versus australia who've reached the knockout stages for the first time since 2006. let's go live now to sydney, where we can speak to craig foster, who is a former captain of australia's national football team. great to happy with us. what a big moment for the socceroo is and for australia, how do you think the team
10:16 am
will be preparing for what is a massive game?— will be preparing for what is a massive game? will be preparing for what is a massive came? , . , massive game? they have played them uuite a few massive game? they have played them quite a few times _ massive game? they have played them quite a few times in _ massive game? they have played them quite a few times in history _ massive game? they have played them quite a few times in history and - quite a few times in history and know what to expect, we know argentina are fabulous team and australia has really in and taken this socceroos 2022 generation to heart. we had in previous games the life side down in melbourne, you might have seen some of the video from korean fans and japanese fans and so many of the teams who have wonderful upset wins in recent matches, and now in about nine hours times australia will be taking on lionel messi and cow, some of those sites in australia including in sydney, it is 9pm now and people are already there, staying open all night and we expect them to be there for the game at 60. the? night and we expect them to be there for the game at 60.— for the game at 60. they will be auoin for the game at 60. they will be going strong _ for the game at 60. they will be going strong i— for the game at 60. they will be going strong i am _ for the game at 60. they will be going strong i am sure - for the game at 60. they will be going strong i am sure that - for the game at 60. they will be l going strong i am sure that point. let's talk about some of the surprises this tournament has drawn up, because i have been a number of games now where the underdogs on paper have actually won, obviously
10:17 am
australia against argentina, australia against argentina, australia are the underdogs in this game, but will they be taking heart from all of those surprise wins? ida from all of those surprise wins? iir: question they will. australia has beaten argentina in the past, they didn't have lionel messi but in 93 they had diego maradona, so the so—called smaller nations who aren't fancied in the world cup have taken big steps in this tournament, although it is backwards in terms of the former football, japan used to want to take on spain and germany and the biggest nations and now they are buying counterattack football, as has australia and korea, the first time three asian nations have made a round of 16 so it is a significant step forward for the afc and the globalisation of football but we are doing it on the counterattack, conceding the ball to teams that i guess in the last 10
10:18 am
years have copied guardiola football and want to have the ball a little less and focus on defending, as you heard from the germans, and able to profit on the counterattack, usually in the second half and radiate in the games with a lot of highly skilled and very quick players so australia will be hoping to profit i think from the same strategy against argentina, some outstanding coaching decisions and good strategic management by a range of coaches across asia including graham arnold with australia and he will have to be at his best tomorrow morning. wright lets see what the game brings. great to talk to you. so — here's the last 16 line—up in full. the first games start later — when the netherlands take on the usa, and argentina take on australia. there's much more on our website. just log on to bbc.com/news and click through to the world cup section — or go via the bbc app.
10:19 am
let's return to the story about the drought in somalia, the east african nation is in the grip of its worst drought in 40 years. the uk development minister andrew mitchell has been visiting the country and the uk has pledged £14 million in humanitarian aid and he has warned many people will die if the international community does not give more help. for an update from the ground, we are joined now by petroc wilton, head of communications for somalia for the united nations world food programme. thank you forjoining us. the world food programme has been warning for some time now aboutjust how dry the conditions are in the horn of africa. give us a sense of what it is like on the ground for all the members of the world food programme we are making their best efforts to help the people. we we are making their best efforts to help the people-— help the people. we welcome the visit of the _ help the people. we welcome the visit of the minister _ help the people. we welcome the visit of the minister and _ help the people. we welcome the visit of the minister and he -
10:20 am
visit of the minister and he captured how critical the situation is underground, and andrew harding. we are in a race against time on the ground, the conditions there are incredibly severe, it is the longest drought in 40 years, the current rents have been slightly improved but still scattered, if they fail it is a five consecutive failed winning seasons, the longest drought in this history is why, on the brink of that and it is a country on the edge of famine and what that looks like on the ground, so if you're going to solve the camps where people have been internally displaced, cleaned it out, conflict, is considering either date, there are sometimes hundreds of new tents going up overnight, if you go to the nutrition centre is especially the stabilisation areas where the worst affected malnourished children with competitions are kept there is so much pressure on the doctors and nurses in those areas, so really underground we are right up against it. you know that famine is being
10:21 am
projected by the end of the year, we have been scaling up to our largest operation ever in somalia to try to make sure that doesn't happen but it is right on the brink. what make sure that doesn't happen but it is right on the brink.— is right on the brink. what more can be done to — is right on the brink. what more can be done to try _ is right on the brink. what more can be done to try to — is right on the brink. what more can be done to try to stop _ is right on the brink. what more can be done to try to stop it _ is right on the brink. what more can be done to try to stop it crossing - be done to try to stop it crossing that line? ., ., , that line? there are two things, it is critically — that line? there are two things, it is critically important _ that line? there are two things, it is critically important that - that line? there are two things, it is critically important that the - is critically important that the funding keeps coming in to sustain this humanitarian scale up to increase it and push it further into areas that are sometimes more difficult to access, that is critical, saving lives here is the priority. last famine in somalia killed more than a quarter of a million people, we cannot let that happen again, whether or not there is an official declaration, that impetus to save lives, we cannot relax about that, the second thing and i think the minister touched on this is this is a climate shock, the longest drought in 40 years but somalia has frequently been prone to droughts, floods, other climate shocks, so what is also needed is investment in longer term
10:22 am
resilience, food security because of course this scale of humanitarian aid cannot be sustained indefinitely and i think the minister said so it is really important that the uk and international community supporting the increase in the ongoing scallop and long—term science. it is the increase in the ongoing scallop and long-term science.— and long-term science. it is of a su er and long-term science. it is of a super important, _ and long-term science. it is of a super important, the _ and long-term science. it is of a super important, the level- and long-term science. it is of a super important, the level of. super important, the level of international aid can't be sustained indefinitely, to what extent is a world in ukraine diverting resources from situations like what we're seeing in ukraine diverting resources from situations like precincts via? it resources from situations like precincts via?— resources from situations like recincts via? ., , , , precincts via? it has been extremely difficult, to word _ precincts via? it has been extremely difficult, to word ukraine, _ precincts via? it has been extremely difficult, to word ukraine, also - difficult, to word ukraine, also flooding in bangladesh, we are living in a time when the world is to set the multiple crises and of course funding is limited, the attention of international community is focused in particular areas, but turning away from smelly now would have catastrophic consequences and it is so critical that right now we don't turn away.—
10:23 am
let's also return to the story about the situation in uk with health officials urging to look for symptoms of scarlet fever after six children in england and wales have died since september from the strip a bacteria that causes it. we can return now to the professor of paediatric infection and immunity at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. thank you very much for waiting to us to come back. we were getting onto a pretty important point, the appearance of the rash associated with this and how that can vary dispelling on the colour of your skin and i was asking you should parents be feeling the skin as well as looking at any changes in the appearance of the skin? ~ , ,., , , , skin? absolutely. the rest will be accompanied _ skin? absolutely. the rest will be accompanied by _ skin? absolutely. the rest will be accompanied by fever, _ skin? absolutely. the rest will be accompanied by fever, sore - skin? absolutely. the rest will be i accompanied by fever, sore throat, child having a red tongue appearance
10:24 am
and it is not easy to distinguish rashes in children but it has a fine sandpaper feel to it which rashes in children but it has a fine sandpaperfeel to it which is quite typical but i hardly ever encourage people to look at pictures of rashes on the internet but the rash of scarlet fever is very typical so i wouldn't, i would take the opportunity to familiarise myself with a picture because it is hard to describe and if in doubt check it out. �* . , describe and if in doubt check it out. �* ., , ., ., , out. are there any other group susceptible — out. are there any other group susceptible to _ out. are there any other group susceptible to this _ out. are there any other group susceptible to this apart - out. are there any other group susceptible to this apart from | out. are there any other group - susceptible to this apart from young children? . . . . , susceptible to this apart from young children? , , . ., , , ., children? especially people over 75 a- eared children? especially people over 75 appeared to _ children? especially people over 75 appeared to be _ children? especially people over 75 appeared to be having _ children? especially people over 75 appeared to be having higher- children? especially people over 75 appeared to be having higher rate. children? especially people over 75 i appeared to be having higher rate as god infections at the moment and when we look at the reporting data from the uk hsi we can see especially in a group of people over 75 and in children between one and four and five and nine, the numbers of infections have gone up so the bacterium has been isolated from
10:25 am
throat swabs, that doesn't mean people are at higher risk of getting invasive infection but if there is more infection we have to keep an eye on people not deteriorating prescribed favour. that eye on people not deteriorating prescribed favour.— eye on people not deteriorating prescribed favour. at what point is additional medical _ prescribed favour. at what point is additional medical help _ prescribed favour. at what point is additional medical help or- prescribed favour. at what point is additional medical help or should l additional medical help or should additional medical help or should additional medical help or should additional medical advice resort? if someone has a child or is an adult who is concerned about a very sore throat that is not settling down with a high fever, the child being lethargic and especially if not getting better after penicillin antibiotics have been started, they should seek medical attention. parents usually have a good gut feeling for the worry about their children and we would encourage them to seek help. children and we would encourage them to seek help-— to seek help. tragically six children have _ to seek help. tragically six children have died - to seek help. tragically six children have died in - to seek help. tragically six i children have died in england to seek help. tragically six - children have died in england and wales since september but you are making the point that it is very unusualfor making the point that it is very unusual for this to be so serious. yes and if we compare the numbers of deaths which are all tragic to what
10:26 am
happened in 2017 in a similar period there were poor children who died from the condition. it can turn into a nasty bug but at the moment we have apart from that more infection there there is no indication the bug itself has changed although that is subject to further detailed genomic investigation set up being carried out by clive. investigation set up being carried out by clive-— the british conservative mp conor burns has been cleared of misconduct and is to be readmitted to the party. mr burns was sacked from his position as a trade minister and had the party whip removed in october when liz truss was prime minister — after a complaint of serious misconduct. he has denied any wrongdoing. you are watching bbc news. trainers from some of the world's greatest athletes are currently up for auction in new york. but they're not your average sneakers, as emer mccarthy reports.
10:27 am
the old saying goes, don'tjudge someone before you walk a mile in their shoes. well, if you've got a spare bit of cash lying about, what about walking a mile in michaeljordan's sneakers. we have two pairs of 1985jordan 1s. nothing more iconic thatjordan's style is still celebrated and worn. both pairs game worn, one pair signed. the estimates are 200 to 300,000 on our top lot and then 100 to 200,000 on our next top lot. bothjordan1s. the jordans form part of the first sale of christie's new york's new department, sneakers, streetwear and collectibles, with bids closing next week. the online auction, aptly named the greats, includes collectibles from other sporting icons, designers and streetwear brands. and demand is high across the globe. we have amazing collectors who are in asia, amazing collectors in the middle east, across europe, in the us, you know, across all age ranges. and that for me is one
10:28 am
of the most exciting parts, is watching an auction registrant be anywhere from 17 years old to 75. if tennis is more your game, a pair of trainers worn and signed by serena williams, designed by the late virgil abloh, has an estimated sale price between 17 and $20,000. another pair also comes with a signed tennis ball. the only thing not included, serena's 23 grand slam titles. unfortunately, there's something money can't buy. emer mccarthy, bbc news. comedian peter kay was moved to tears last night, as he was given a standing ovation at the start of his first tour in 12 years. he's been largely absent from the spotlight since he cancelled his last series of dates, five years ago. as our entertainment correspondent colin paterson reports, the crowd was in high spirits. # is this the way to amarillo?
10:29 am
# every night i've been hugging my pillow. the wait was over — 12 years after his last tour, peter kay back on stage. the crowd arriving at the manchester arena were certainly in the mood. # sha la la la la la la la! we're all from bolton. we've lived nearby him since we were kids. you know, it's very, very, very exciting. the country needs people i like peter kay because he's going to make all of us laugh. and that's what we all need. and we're from bolton, aren't we? yeah, we are. we feel very lucky that we can go to the first night. and we're from bolton, like peter kay. the amount of people i've met from bolton tonight! i know! is there anyone in bolton? no, it's empty! and there was one catchphrase in particular that fans were hoping to hear. ooh, garlic bread! garlic bread! there needs to be a bit of garlic bread tonight, i think. it's almost time to go in and see the show. peter kay wants as much of it as possible to remain a secret for those seeing it later in the tour, so he's not releasing
10:30 am
any footage of tonight. but afterwards, i'll come out and tell you the kind of things he was talking about, and which old classics he's brought back. hey, look, it's peter kay. hey, garlic bread? hey, it's the future, lads! the tour was announced less than a month ago, with this surprise advert shown during the launch night of i'm a celebrity. demand for tickets has been so high, there are now 110 dates. did you get your mum that bungalow? yeah, she wants a new carpet now. so there we have it. when peter kay came on stage, the cheering and the standing ovation he got reduced him to tears. the first half of the show, many old topics revisited — funny things his nan said, chocolate bars of the 1980s, garlic bread. in the second half, more modern topics were explored — the likes of how difficult it is to choose a film on netflix, and the dangers of when photos meant for your doctor end up on shared family albums. now, he asked the crowd not to share parts of the show to keep it secret,
10:31 am
but i'm going to try and ask people what they made of it.
