good afternoon. we start with the football world cup in qatar, where the netherlands have just beaten the usa to book their spot in the quarter—finals. here's lucy hockings in doha. hello, everyone, and welcome to doha. we are finally out of the group stages into the knockout stage of the competition. it is all—or—nothing for the teams and it is the netherlands�*s night. in the last 16 was the netherlands versus the usa and the netherlands have won, 3—1. the usa missed a golden chance, but the dutch struck first with a beautiful goal from chance, but the dutch struck first

with a beautiful goalfrom memphis depay before the ten minute mark. on the stroke of half—time, daley blind put the netherlands two up, but so much drama in the second half. the usa's haji wright looked a bizarre shot —— shot over the dutch goalkeeper over the net, but denzel dumfries sealed the win for the netherlands in the 76th minute. so the dutch continue their record of avoiding defeat in their last 23 matches, when scoring an opening goal in the world cup, that dates back to 1978 and is my favourite fact of the night so far. there was a packed stadium for the match, but let's think about those fans watching all around the world. millions of them. and i think the netherlands probably came to a standstill. let's go to my colleague in the hague watching the game in a bar with some dutch fans. i can only imagine the reaction when the dutch got that third goal and they knew they had probably won the match, tell us what happened, the atmosphere, how happy is everyone in

the netherlands tonight? 50. atmosphere, how happy is everyone in the netherlands tonight?— the netherlands tonight? so, so, so much relief— the netherlands tonight? so, so, so much relief here. _ the netherlands tonight? so, so, so much relief here. and _ the netherlands tonight? so, so, so much relief here. and i _ the netherlands tonight? so, so, so much relief here. and i am - the netherlands tonight? so, so, so| much relief here. and i am shouting, i am sorry. but this place erupted. it was like time stood still. the only thing moving with beer but that final goal, the relief washed through this sea of orange. and louis van gaal has been playing what many here and around the world have said is a boring game. but as you saw memphis depay celebrate the goal, he put his fingers in his ears and he looked up thanking god and blocking out all the noise. that is what the dutch team have been trying to do. the most beautiful thing for the fans around here is not necessarily the footwork, the passing, but that result. 3—1, taking them into the next round. and the dutch have a record for being the dutch have a record for being the team that has made the finals of a world cup the most times without actually winning, so they are hoping

this win over the usa is putting them on track to change that course of history. anna, i hope you can still hear me. i wonder how important a win is in terms ofjust the morale of the nation at the moment, in the middle of winter or heading into christmas with the cost—of—living crisis, what does this mean to people? this with the cost-of-living crisis, what does this mean to people? this means so much. does this mean to people? this means so much- as — does this mean to people? this means so much- as i — does this mean to people? this means so much. as i cycle _ does this mean to people? this means so much. as i cycle home _ does this mean to people? this means so much. as i cycle home on _ does this mean to people? this means so much. as i cycle home on the - so much. as i cycle home on the school run past the windows, almost every home eyes psychopath during previous games has been advertising the football, it is like this country has stopped and they are pinning their hopes on this moment of optimism to take them away and export them from the cost—of—living crisis. inflation over the last few months has hit record highs here, people are struggling to heat their

homes and to buy groceries. and when they can watch this kind of action in qatar, it is almost like stepping into a very hot, veryjubilant oasis away from the reality that exists outside. and this is one bar in the heart of the hague. in fact, poignantly, there are scenes like this right around the country. this is a rare moment of optimism. there is a rare moment of optimism. there is so much patriotism and pride right here. in fact, they have kindly let me stand behind the bar because while the match was on, there was absolutely no is a inside. really, they are now all eyes are next friday. facing either australia or argentina in the next round. and actually, they have a record of this team, for keeping the goals out, 91%. so not quite keeping a clean

slate tonight, but 3—1 is a hugely convincing game. and the commentators often say in the netherlands this is a nation of 17 million referees. and i think all of them will be cheering across the country tonight. find them will be cheering across the country tonight-— them will be cheering across the country tonight. and i am sure they will be watching _ country tonight. and i am sure they will be watching the _ country tonight. and i am sure they will be watching the next _ country tonight. and i am sure they will be watching the next match - country tonight. and i am sure they will be watching the next match in l country tonight. and i am sure they| will be watching the next match in a few hours' time as well. waiting to see who they face next, argentina or australia. thank you so much. probably slightly different scenes across the usa at the moment. let's take you to nominate iqbal in a beer hall in washington. it was really sad watching the usa players, they looked absolutely devastated. and rightly so, because there was so much hope and expectation in this team going into this match. but i am sure people arejust team going into this match. but i am sure people are just incredibly proud of the team that they progressed this far. what are people saying to you? i progressed this far. what are people saying to you?— saying to you? i think you're right. remember. _ saying to you? i think you're right. remember, this _ saying to you? i think you're right. remember, this was _ saying to you? i think you're right.

aren't we? lots of people saying, could this be his last ever world cup game pushed back the 35—year—old has played every minute for his country so far in this world cup and will start again this evening. it is argentina against australia and messi will make his 1000th appearance of his career and if they lose, it could beat the final time he plays at a world cup. let's head over to brenna sarries and i can speed to marcella, a football writer —— buenos aires. before we talk about the match this evening, i am sure you watched netherlands beat the usa and if we assume argentina beat australia, who you will face, what did you make of the dutch? first, assume nothing. we are latching onto the sobering lesson we had in our opening game against

saudi arabia, so we are absolutely not assuming anything at all. holland and argentina is a super fixture, it always has been. argentina won the world cup in 1978 in a great game against the netherlands. and we got to a final. i say we, i am really swept up in this wave of we are all in it together. i wasn't playing, but in 2014, argentina got to the final again of the world cup after beating the netherlands in the semifinal, which was a superb, superb jewel of energy and youth and potency. it is really nice to see younger exponents of the old game coming through. and i think in a way, young footballing nations as well. a lot of criticism

was levelled at the world cup have opening in qatar because of a lack of footballing tradition. and i think australia is a stepping stone towards our classic rival and that is a sign of new countries a new cultures becoming embroiled in this football family. so that's quite a lot of excitement here. i have to say the journey to this point was by no means smooth and people were getting very, apprehensive and anxious, to the point that the manager of argentina had to make a statement saying, let's calm down a little because we are in tears and it is reallyjust a game of football, which i think we tend to forget at times.— football, which i think we tend to forget at times. you're right on so many levels- _ forget at times. you're right on so many levels. particularly - forget at times. you're right on so many levels. particularly the - forget at times. you're right on so many levels. particularly the fact. many levels. particularly the fact you cannot rule anything out. with australia playing tonight, and they have been in good form and we have seen other shocks in this tournament, but since the shock defeat to saudi arabia, the buzz in qatar is argentina are really on a

roll, they have hit their stride a lot more. but if we look at messi and his performance, how much does the team rely on him and is that a winning strategy necessarily at the moment? ~ ~ . '1' moment? well, i think it is $1 million question. _ moment? well, i think it is $1 million question. how - moment? well, i think it is $1 million question. how much l moment? well, i think it is $1 l million question. how much the moment? well, i think it is $1 - million question. how much the team relies on messy i would say is close to 100%. psychologically almost as much as anything else. so if touch wood anything were to happen and messi couldn't play, it would be kind of an —— a spiritual crumble very much like we saw in 1994 when maradona was suddenly unable to play. but the other thing i think it's worth pointing out and is interesting and was very clearly manifested in my opinion in the last match argentina played is how much of a team player messi is. so he is not like a solo hero that does it

all alone, not like a solo hero that does it allalone, he not like a solo hero that does it all alone, he needs a really cogent team working well around him. and i think slowly, argentina in this tournament have got to that point. i think they mastered it magnificently last summer in the copa america. and they have been to so many finals and that —— sony tournaments and that is part of the masterplan of lionel scaloni that no individual player is a risk —— is irreplaceable, but they understand each other and they are reading each other and moving over the pitch so they can take on different roles. and they have got their having struggled. so it is more of an interdependence that messi has on the team and the team on messy. slight worries di maria will not be able to start through injury. but we have seen there are some really younger names.

macallister. fernandez. alvarez. they have had their debut on the international stage just now. and they have done magnificently. no fear, no weight and burden and no pending assignments, it is orjust fresh. so that hopefully will last the duration of the game. i think messi is at his prime, i really do think his intelligence at least is the master of ceremonies and his captaincy is really in peak form, so there is no worries on that front, it is more to do with the length and the stamina that the older people can sustain, is included.— can sustain, is included. millions will be watching, _ can sustain, is included. millions will be watching, people - can sustain, is included. millions will be watching, people love - will be watching, people love watching messi the world over so it is going to be a great match, i am sure. good to get your thoughts, thank you forjoining us from buenos aires. here at the world cup, we saw around the world lots of people

thinking right now of the brazilian legend pele. we are hearing through a newspaper in brazil he's been given end—of—life care at a hospital in sao paulo. the hospital has declined to comment on the report and his daughter said it wasjust declined to comment on the report and his daughter said it was just a routine check he was in hospital for. but we do know pele is 82 and he has had surgery for bowel cancer in september. readmitted early in the week and brazilian fans at the world cup have displayed huge banners wishing him well. if you need reminding, pele the great won tree world cups with brazil and everyone i think still sees him as the greatest footballer of all time so lots of thoughts with pele at the moment. that is all from doha, back to you in london. lucy, thank you very much. parents are being urged to know the symptoms of scarlet fever, after six children in england and wales died recently from the bacteria that causes it. the strep a infection is normally

mild, but there have been more cases than usual, and a higher number of deaths compared to recent years. let's talk to dr chris smith. virologist at cambridge university and presenter of the naked scientists podcast. dr smith, it is good to see you again. an increase of infection rate, why is that, do we know? late rate, why is that, do we know? we don't rate, why is that, do we know? - don't know, but what we can speculate is it is some kind of consequence of the measures taken to stop the coronavirus pandemic over the last two or three years and there are other infections that have also shown a change in their seasonal patterns and this is just one of them. so we think it is probably part and parcel of the same thing. perhaps a group of children who would normally be exposed to this earlier in their lives haven't so they are all catching it all at the same time and when lots of people have got something, there are lots of people to give it to lots of other people so if you are one of the susceptible ones, you could become severely unwell and you are more likely to run into somebody who will give it to you, that may

explain it. the other possibility is as other in section —— infections are rising, perhaps we are seeing a punch phenomenon where people catch one infection and this makes them susceptible to another and this can happen if you have a viral infection first, then you run into this new group a infection and it penetrates your defences and causes severe disease when you have had that prior infection and those other infections are much more common at this time of year at the moment as well. at the moment, we don't think it is anything different about the bacteria, it is something different about us as a population making it happen. about us as a population making it ha en. . ~ . about us as a population making it ha en. ., ~' , ., about us as a population making it ha en. ., ~ , ., ., ., about us as a population making it ha en, ., " , ., ., ., ., happen. talk us through the data and the numbers — happen. talk us through the data and the numbers of— happen. talk us through the data and the numbers of cases _ happen. talk us through the data and the numbers of cases we _ happen. talk us through the data and the numbers of cases we are - happen. talk us through the data and the numbers of cases we are seeing. | the numbers of cases we are seeing. we have seen a fivefold increase in the number of cases of diagnoses with group a streptococcus infections. these are normally common infections at about 10% of the population carry this bacteria in their noes and throat and on their skin anyway. so for years, we

have documented people having things like sore throats, skin infections and joint infections with them, but what we have seen as a big optic compared with during the pandemic and prior to the pandemic of people with this infection —— a big increase. in a small minority of cases, it can progress beyond a trivial infection causing a sore throat for example into what we call an invasive infection whether bacteria game access to the bloodstream and beyond and they can cause more severe manifestations. and if that is not treated promptly, that can be fatal and that is what is being reported and unfortunately led to the loss of life of a small number of individuals.- led to the loss of life of a small number of individuals. very briefly, it is rare a child _ number of individuals. very briefly, it is rare a child will— number of individuals. very briefly, it is rare a child will die, _ number of individuals. very briefly, it is rare a child will die, cold - it is rare a child will die, cold comfort if you have a child in very poor shape and for those families as well who have lost a child. but set it into context for us, we don't want people to panic, just briefly. no, absolutely not. the vast

majority of sore throats will be caused by a viral infection, 80% or 90% of the time. a good giveaway that you have got a virus is if you have a runny noes to go with it because most viruses that cause the sort throats also caused by the infection will be caused by a virus that causes a runny noes. it is not exclusively the case, but you can be somewhat reassured it is probably a virus 90% of the time. if people do get a severe sore throat or other manifestations and flushed cheeks and a red rash that feels rushed —— rough, and the child is not getting better after the normal period of time, you should escalate this, you should get a professional opinion, get someone to look at the child to make sure they are ok.— make sure they are ok. thank you very much. _ make sure they are ok. thank you very much. dr _ make sure they are ok. thank you very much, dr smith, _ make sure they are ok. thank you very much, dr smith, a _ make sure they are ok. thank you very much, dr smith, a very - make sure they are ok. thank you very much, dr smith, a very sad i make sure they are ok. thank you l very much, dr smith, a very sad few cases we have heard of where children have died of a heart breaking for those families, but thank you for your words of reassurance. doctor chris smith from the university of cambridge.

yunus mulla, bbc news, liverpool. at the world cup in qatar, the england manager gareth southgate says his side is ready for extra time and penalties against the african champions, senegal, in tomorrow's match in the last 16. the world cup has now reached the knockout stage. here's our sports editor, dan roan. another young lion roars at the world cup. it's been a case of so far so good for england at this world cup. no team scored more goals or earned more points in the group stage, one of only a handful of sides to emerge unbeaten. but they know that defeat from here on in means going home. the manager aware his side has no room for error against senegal tomorrow. we know that they're african champions, very proud, great, competitive spirit, a lot of belief in the team. um, some excellent individual players who can cause problems. england have impressive strength and depth.

and there's foden! and one of those who vindicated his selection against wales says the manager now faces a dilemma. they scored and everyone's proved the point. so it's going to be a headache for gareth to pick the team for the next game. you can't afford to make mistakes or start again badly now because you're going to be sent home. meanwhile, england trained here today with all 25 players present. for years, england feared knockout matches like this. but having reached the semi—finals and final of their last two major tournaments, gareth southgate's side has proven it has what it takes to handle such pressure. however, this world cup has shown that no side is safe from a shock result. senegal stand in the way of england and a place in the quarter—finals, but their preparations have been disrupted. inspirational head coach aliou cisse missing today's news conference with sickness.

translation: he's been ill for the last two days. yesterday, he asked us to do the training for him. we are sure that tomorrow evening, when the match starts, he will be the one in charge of the team. senegal have already made their presence felt here in doha this week, and while their side may be regarded as underdogs, theirfans believe an upset is on the cards. senegal 3—0 england. wow. that's very confident. yes. it will be a big mistake if england can not take seriously— senegal team, it will be a big mistake for england. - 20 years ago, senegal celebrated their greatest world cup success, reaching the last eight. england's task here — to prevent a repeat. gareth southgate has just finished his press conference here at a media centre here in doha and all too aware that not only is it now win or bust but matches could go to the dreaded penalty shoot—out. england's record under him is mixed when it

comes to that. four years ago in the last world cup, they progressed in a shoot—out against colombia but on the other hand, last year in the final of the euros, there was the heartbreak at the hands of italy in a shoot—out as well. they will be desperate to avoid it going to that stage. they stage. they say they are prepared. there is no doubt this world cup is showing, clive, that international football is becoming a bit more competitive. for the first time ever, a team from every one of the competing confederations has reached the last 16. two from africa, one of which is cynical, of course. these surprises definitely serve as a warning to england to take nothing for granted —— one of which is senegal. take nothing for granted -- one of which is senegal.— take nothing for granted -- one of which is senegal. dan, thanks, live indo -- which is senegal. dan, thanks, live lndo -- live — which is senegal. dan, thanks, live lndo -- live in _ which is senegal. dan, thanks, live indo -- live in doha. _ the former government minister, conor burns, has been cleared of misconduct and will be readmitted to the conservative party. the mp for bournemouth west was sacked as trade minister following a complaint about his behaviour at this year's tory party conference.

mr burns consistently denied any wrongdoing, and said the experience was "a living nightmare". the government is to review why many small businesess across the uk are owed billions of pounds in unpaid invoices. some firms face bankruptcy, because they're not getting paid. with more, here's our business correspondent, marc ashdown. at the tom foolery cafe in shoreham by sea, they do make a mean cappuccino, but the past few years have been nojoking matter for husband and wife team bob and vanessa as they struggle with the difficulties facing many small businesses. numerous, numerous challenges! darling? i think one of the key challenges that we've been facing is recruitment along the south coast. we keep a weekly spreadsheet, don't we, of costs, so we are sort of up to date with it. and that is the challenge. we are all being squeezed, both the suppliers from their end, and us who sort of serve the public. yeah. to mark small business saturday, the government is launching a review into late payments. ministers estimate small firms are owed £23 billion in outstanding invoices.

they want to make sure bigger players aren't ripping them off. |the number one thing people talk| about is wanting more customers, needing more turnover, - more people buying their stuff. but also, of course, when you're selling stuff, you want to get - the money in for that stuff. and businesses that have to wait | for payment are really suffering | and that can really be life - threatening for many businesses. your own costs are going up? labour wants full transparency with a list published naming slow payers. a new survey found two thirds of the uk's five million small businesses think they'll struggle next year with rising costs, especially energy bills. the message we're getting back, loud and clear, is that small businesses are fed up with the government that's crashed the economy. and it's notjust the last 12 weeks that's caused huge problems, it's the last 12 years. and we need to listen to that. we need a positive plan to turn the economy around. during the pandemic, when we could go out, we tended to shop local.

so, high streets like this got a real boost. already, though, that's starting to change. as the cost of living is rising, it seems we're turning back to bigger names, bigger brands who, of course, are better placed to cut costs and offer us a bargain. can i get you anything at all? but it's the little touches, the personality, attention to detail, that really makes a difference. as another husband and wife team, simon and sophie, here in brighton know all too well. you can't have a more personal experience or a more intimate experience than you get when you buy locally and when you support a local business. the people who are running the business, making those decisions are the people that you meet every day. these businesses are described as the beating heart of our communities. they're hoping, by this time next year, they might have a bit more to celebrate. marc ashdown, bbc news. five winners of the environmental award, the earthshot prize, have been announced at a star—studded ceremony in boston. the annual awards were created by prince william to fund projects helping to save the planet.

the event marks the culmination of the prince and princess of wales' trip to america. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, has more on the winners and his report contains, some flash photography. cheering the prince and princess of wales were greeted with cheers in a chilly boston last night. they'd rolled out the green carpet and invited a host of celebrities — actors, singers, and david beckham. but this was really all about the environment. it's my hope the earthshot legacy will continue to grow, helping our communities and our planet to thrive. he says earthshot scours the world for the most innovative ideas to help repair and restore the natural world. and we had ourfirst uk—based winner, a company that turns seaweed into this... a biodegradable alternative

to plastic that has already lined a million fast food containers and can even be formed into edible liquid bubbles. cheers! we are really inspired - by the way nature makes these elegant shapes and uses i all these natural materials, and how we can translate that into packaging. - there was a low—cost and portable greenhouse, designed by an indian firm, that dramatically reduces water and pesticide use by the poorest farmers as well as boosting their harvests. and the kenyan company — led by women — that has designed a cheap, efficient, and cleaner alternative to traditional cooking stoves. each of the five winners gets £1 million and support to grow their businesses, helping them share the benefits their ideas can bring. this firm in oman has developed technology to store carbon dioxide in rocks. the award ceremony coincided

with the release of this trailer for harry and meghan's new documentary series. no—one sees what's happening behind closed doors. it made an uncomfortable backdrop for the awards. but the waleses kept their attention studiously on the future, and how these new earthshot prize—winners can improve it. justin rowlatt, bbc news. back to the world cup, and the first of the knockout matches has taken place, with the netherlands beating the usa 3—1 to reach the quarterfinals. nesta mcgregor has the full details. well, welcome to the knockouts... for the netherlands, advancing to the last 16 of the world cup is a familiarjourney. for the usa, less so. knockout football meant the end of the road for one. but any fears that would make this a cagey affair quickly disappeared. commentator: pulisic. .. good save by noppert! the dutch, meanwhile, didn't squander their first opportunity. memphis depay blocking out the noise

and dancing to his own tune. right on half—time, it was 2—0. different goal—scorer, almost identical finish. the team in orange were on course for the last eight, the team in orange well on course for the last eight, the usa needing a hero — and they got one. on as a second—half substitute, haji wright — right place, right foot, right lucky, some would say. miracle goal. searching for an equaliser, the usa's focus was on attack, but they failed to spot denzel dumfries at the back post. denzel dumfries, and that will surely when it! 3—1, the final score. the american dream is over. the dutch unbeaten run stretches to 19 games. can they go all the way? that's the big question. later we will find out the answer. it'll either be lionel messi's argentina

or maybe australia, who surprised many by making it to the knockout stages. clive, that match kicks off in just under hours here.— that's it. i'll be back with the late news at 10.15pm. till then, bye for now... january 6th. we watched that. i knew he'd be there. i wasn't sure how much of a role he would play in it. when i saw some footage of what's now known as the stack, i knew immediately before i zoomed in that that was stewart and that was oath keepers. oath keepers founder stewart rhodes will stand trial alongside four other members of his militia group.

they are the first january 6th rioters to face rare, seditious conspiracy charges. my name is tasha adams, formerly tasha rhodes. i am the estranged wife of elmer stewart rhodes, the leader of oath keepers. i'm dakota vaughn adams, born dakota stewart rhodes. i lived absolutely under the thumb of an emotional terrorist. and it was just so intolerable. it was just. just a dark and depressing existence. i feel every bit as completely ridiculous wearing this right now as i ever did. getting out was... was one of the hardest things. and really, up until we got out, we did not know if we were all going to get out alive.

i was the last of all the children to see stewart for what he was. i was the last child to maintain any kind of loyalty. among my earliest memories was i startled stewart while i was waking him up and he snapped upright and drew a folding knife on me when i was, i think, around four years old. i grew up absolutely believing in stewart's vision of the shadowy, malicious communist conspiracy, seeking to institute a new world order, and stewart's actions to selflessly save the country and stand up for america and the constitution made him a direct target of these people. stewart's obsession with preparing for the apocalypse was his only hobby, his main purpose in life,

and consumed our lives entirely. we ended up living off of these survival storage items. the family lived off of exclusively oatmeal and apple chips for months at a time because that was the largest amount of bulk stuff that we had. it's really hard to articulate the... the despair, what it feels like to feel helpless. i am coming to terms with the full reality that i did not have a father growing up. in practice i had one parent and a dangerous obstacle. stewart was a disabled veteran. he had broken his back in the military. he was talking about starting an organization for military, veterans, police, people who had

sworn the oath. he was in a manic mode, and he would do that sometimes. he would sleep for days and then he would just get crazy about something and type for days. you know, reasonable person would probably say, well, i'm going to take my baby and go sit in the living room somewhere. but he would get upset if i tried to do that. i would have to stay in the room with him. so i'm trying to get this poor baby to sleep with this blasting music. and he kept saying, "wait till you see what i wrote." that was the night he typed up the ten orders we will not obey." so he posted it and it may have gone viral by morning. stewart rhodes is the founder of the oath keepers. do you guys have the current firepower to stand up against the federal government, if you people are ordered to do those things? it's the obligation all of us have sworn an oath to support - and defend the constitution.

and so what we're calling on active duty military and police to do -
