and take them, get them checked out rapid. we start at the world cup, where the first two quarter finalists are now known. the netherlands and argentina will play each other next friday after winning their last 16 matches on saturday. for argentina, it was their talisman, lionel messi, who gave them the lead against australia in the 1000th professional game of his long career. into the second half, julian alvarez took advantage of a mistake by mat ryan and it looked like argentina would coast to victory. but the socceroos have shown great resilience already in this world cup, and made the last few minutes tense when craig goodwin's shot

took a huge deflection to give them hope, but they failed to equalise. in the first knockout game of the tournament, the netherlands were comfortable winners over the usa. the dutch team scored twice in the first half. 10 minutes into the game, memphis depay crowned a magnificent 21—pass move to score his first goal at the tournament. daley blind made it 2—0 to the dutch before half time. haji wright managed to reduce the deficit, and give the american fans a little hope with just 15 minutes left. but five minutes later, denzel dumfries sealed their fate, putting the netherlands back into a comfortable lead. final score, 3—1. let's get some reaction to the games now. argentinian football journalist, sebastien ongarelli, told us how he is feeling about his side facing the dutch

in the quarterfinals. it is going to be tough. we seek but a lot of surprises and it is welcome and we are looking forward to it. we are all argentinian here. a lot of others are supporting argentina. we are quite a big family here in glasgow. more now on the netherlands victory our europe correspondent anna holligan was watching the game with fans in a bar in the hague. this means so much. almost every home during previous games has been broadcast. it is like life has stopped and they are pinning their hopes on this moment of optimism to take them away from the cost of living

russia's brief and failed advance left scenes of devastation. now clues from that time lie hidden. inna's makeshift home is built where her old one used to be. but the kitchen is freezing and damp. icy water drips from the roof. her swollen hands hurt from the cold, but she looks far beyond her own worries. translation: | want us| to win as soon as possible so that there is peace and tranquillity, so that all soldiers return home alive and well. for inna, help is on the way this winter. she's the first in her village to get a prefab home. but others will have to wait. including nadiya. in this one room, she cooks and sleeps in a bed she is sharing with her son

and his girlfriend, sofia. a plastic sheet stops the floor getting wet when they wash. they even go to the toilet in here if it's too cold outside. for 19—year—old sofia, it's suffocating. translation: i'm very anxious. i can't wash or go to the bathroom alone. i have to do that in front of everyone. i just want some personal space. as the cold bites, russian strikes mean power cuts, too. it's an exhausting existence for nadiya as she sits on the steps of her former, now wrecked, home. translation: it's hard for everyone. i want my house. i want to live in peace, and for my son and his girlfriend to have a place to live. because now, they have no life.

it's not life. oh, god. 63 years old, she walks through the rooms and ruins. the shadows of the past all around. so many have been left haunted, now hunted by the winter, too. jessica parker, bbc news. let's turn to uruguay, where discussions are taking place about the creation of a un treaty on plastic pollution. delegates from 160 countries are attending, with eu members and switzerland arguing that efforts to tackle the problem should include mandatory cuts to global plastic production. meanwhile, the us and saudi arabia, home to the top petrochemical and plastics companies, say the targets should be voluntary. this comes as the environmental group, greenpeace, is warning that plastic production could triple by 2050, without a strong treaty in place. we can speak to graham forbes, plastics global project leader for greenpeace.

he's attending the uruguay talks, and joins us now from punta del este. thank you very much forjoining us. these targets targeting plastic production, do you think they are ambitious? how do you think countries will basically agree on a target? i think what we are seeing on the ground here and this isjust the first of several negotiations taking place over a two—year period is the vast majority of countries are showing a willingness to take strong action to address the entire life—cycle of plastic pollution, which is encouraging that we have a small number of countries including the us, taking steps to lower ambition and progress. it taking steps to lower ambition and progress-_ and progress. it is quite hard to indicate — and progress. it is quite hard to indicate perhaps, - and progress. it is quite hard to indicate perhaps, when i and progress. it is quite hard to indicate perhaps, when it| to indicate perhaps, when it comes to these conferences stop how does it look towards results, what are you looking

eu diplomats have expressed concern over the spiralling death toll and the un has warned of another "boiling point". a warning, you may find this report by our middle east correspondent tom bateman distressing. wailing. in this village, they grieve another lost son, and these days of mourning are arriving more and more often. raed al—naasan was shot by israeli soldiers on tuesday, one of four palestinians killed in confrontations with troops in different villages that day. the un says it's been the deadliest year for palestinians in the occupied west bank for nearly two decades. this is a small village and yet, thousands have turned out. and every time these funerals happen, for palestinians, it is spreading the sense of anger. gunshots.

his family says the village feels powerless against the soldiers and settlers nearby. his mother, fatima, reels from the shock. translation: | saw him i a minute before he was hit. i was behind him. i went out running after him. he didn't answer me. their case is throwing a fresh spotlight on israel's use of lethal force. troops had gone in over plans to bulldoze a home with no building permit. relatives documented what then unfolded. the army said soldiers used live fire, responding to a suspect who threw petrol bombs. gunfire. but video given to the bbc contradicts that. yelling. it is a scene typical of many israeli raids. a group, including raed, who's in the beigejumper, appears to be picking up stones and they throw them towards the army jeeps. then, the israeli army fires

live ammunition at them. gunfire. the second shot hits raed. he is seen running, now fatally wounded as paramedics rush to help. yelling. he was next to the door? mujahid was the first to get him. he shows me where he was hit. "no—one threw a molotov cocktail. "i was here. "some young men were throwing stones," he says. he was a 21—year—old, in training with the official palestinian authority security forces. its control has been slipping in parts of the west bank and the israeli army has been carrying out nightly raids, often met by militant gunfire, after israel's streets have been targeted in a deadly spate of attacks. in a statement, the israeli military said only a portion of the event is depicted in the video, reiterating that

a molotov cocktail was thrown. as we left, more troops arrived, and so did more teenagers. another generation sees the same story and more hopes fade in the west bank. tom bateman, bbc news. parents in the uk are being urged to learn the symptoms of scarlet fever after six children in england and wales died from the bacteria that causes it. the strep a infection is normally mild, but there have been more cases than usual recently, and a higher number of deaths compared to past years. here's yunus mulla. camila from bolton is described by her father as his as a special little girl. but the four—year—old is in intensive care and on a ventilator at liverpool's alder hey children's hospital. it was thought at first that she had a sickness bug. then, her chest started hurting

and a day later, she was rushed to hospital and has needed lisfesaving intervention. her family have been told she had a serious strep a infection. we have been here since monday, just trying and willing and praying, just to make a full recovery... ..to stay with us. and how is strep a — how has it affected her? ..devastated her, hasn't it? it's just... she's just such a beautiful little girl. just... yeah, just our special little girl. infections caused by group a strep bacteria are usually mild, with symptoms like sore throat and skin infections. it can also cause scarlet fever. health officials say they're seeing more scarlet fever. in the week to the 20th of november, there were 851 cases recorded in england. the average for the same week in preceding years is 186. very rarely, strep a can also cause something called invasive group a strep, or igas, which can be deadly.

five children under ten have died in england of the invasive group a strep since september, and another, seven—year—old hanna roap, in wales. the uk health security agency has said there is no evidence a new strain is circulating and the rises are because of high amounts of circulating bacteria and social mixing. any doubt, if they don't look right or anything, just scoop them up and take them. get them checked out rapid. these infections are rare but if parents have concerns, they're being urged to contact nhs 111 or their gp. yunus mulla, bbc news, liverpool. a greek newspaper has reported that the chairman of the british museum, george osborne, has been holding talks with the greek prime minister about the possibility of returning the parthenon sculptures. the classical artworks, known in the uk as the elgin marbles, once adorned the front of the parthenon in athens but have been held for centuries by the british museum.

greece has been calling for them to be returned for decades. our culture editor katie razzall has more. so more than 13 months they say these talks have been going on notjust these talks have been going on not just with the these talks have been going on notjust with the greek prime minister but also with other greek politicians. clearly this have been briefed by the greek side and i think what is interesting is the british museum, though they certainly are not confirming the status of the talks because, let's remember, what is being said in this newspaper is that the greek sidy saying an agreement is 90% complete but a critical remains unresolved, the british museum is certainly not confirming that but they are not denying that these talks have happened and they have said to me today that they have publicly called for a new parthenon partnership with greece and will talk to anyone, including the greek government, about how to take that forward. i'm sure everybody remembers what these beautiful sculptures are, classical greek sculptures. we have quite a few of them in the british museum here in london and the uk because back in the early 19th

century, lord elgin who was a scottish diplomat and was the ambassador for the ottoman empire, he brought them, took them, got them taken off, we understand at some cost to himself, £70,000 i think it cost him, to remove some of these items from the parthenon temple and bring them back to the uk, the british government then bought them and they ended up in the british museum but they are hotly contested and of course greece has been asking for them back for a very, very long time so it's very interesting to hear that this, we might perhaps, be close to an agreement. 0ur our culture editor katie razzall there. the text message — or sms, as some call it — is celebrating its 30th birthday. the first one was sent in 1992 to test the technology. 0ur reporter and text message enthusiast stephanie prentice joins me now. tell us a bit about this milestone. it's quite something. it milestone. it's quite something. milestone. it's quite somethina. something. it actually really has been — something. it actually really has been a _ something. it actually really has been a milestone. - something. it actually really has been a milestone. it's i something. it actually really . has been a milestone. it's been a big topic online, some people saying we have had 30 years of

the text message? 0thers saying we have had 30 years of the text message? others are saying i cannot remember a time before them, how will be staying in touch. so let's take a walk down memory lane. it was sentin a walk down memory lane. it was sent in 1992 by a sound engineer actually here in the uk in berkshire and he sent a message as a test to his boss who apparently was at a christmas party and the message read merry christmas. perhaps unsurprisingly he did not get a response. he had centred actually on this frankly huge device called the orbital 901 and if you can imagine it weighed two kilograms, about 1k weighed two kilograms, about 1a of our smartphones today stacked together and back then it could only be characters and it could only be characters and it was 160 characters was the limit was obviously no images, no gifts, no funny pictures of yourself as a draft, sadly, and that's all we could really build and didn't have a keyboard that people had to cycle through the buttons to get their letters ——no gifs. by being quite limited the text message really took off, beloved it, we had an engineer who spoke to the bbc earlier

who spoke to the bbc earlier who said he was doing corporate training and businesses, teaching people how to send a text and reply to text etiquette and that kind of thing, and it was so popular. but it was only around 2010 but the word texting actually entered the dictionary. interesting. it seems like we have not had a time without it now during these huge phones, walkie—talkie types, when they. now it has evolved and we have these web—based messages and what's up, facebook messenger, it has taken off. the what's up, facebook messenger, it has taken off.— it has taken off. the sms basically _ it has taken off. the sms basically system, - it has taken off. the sms basically system, it - it has taken off. the sms| basically system, it walks it has taken off. the sms i basically system, it walks so that whatsapp and i message could run and drive innovation because people wanted instant messaging and while text i used quite commonly, undeniably new attack has taken over —— imessage. about a0 billion sms messages sent in 2021 in the uk but down from 150,000,000,020 12. things like the national health service, we have all the messages confirming

appointments and things like that here in the uk but actually if we look at this globally, on whatsapp for example last year 100 billion messages were sent worldwide. well, it's quite a lot, isn't it? some people prefer to sort of communicate via text rather than... what about you? figs of communicate via text rather than... what about you? as you sa i am than... what about you? as you say i am a _ than... what about you? as you say i am a text _ than... what about you? as you say i am a text enthusiast i say i am a text enthusiast although i like to move people onto whatsapp because you can check out the icon and see what they look like, easierto check out the icon and see what they look like, easier to send pictures. they look like, easier to send ictures. �* , �* w they look like, easier to send ictures. �* a ., pictures. inaudible taking one step further— pictures. inaudible taking one step further now, _ pictures. inaudible taking one step further now, isn't - pictures. inaudible taking one step further now, isn't it? i i step further now, isn't it? i do still use the humble text message, i do so.— message, i do so. brilliant, thank you. _ message, i do so. brilliant, thank you, good _ message, i do so. brilliant, thank you, good luck i message, i do so. brilliant, thank you, good luck with l thank you, good luck with texting, see you soon. a reminder of our top story. argentina beat australia 2—1 to progress to the quarterfinals of the world in qatar. argentina captain lionel messi opened the scoring on what was his 1000th professional match. they will take on the netherlands who beat the usa 3-1 netherlands who beat the usa 3—1 earlier in the day. more of that on our website.

and you can reach me on twitter. thank you for watching. hello, there. we had a lot of cloud streaming our way for the first half of the weekend on that easterly breeze. that breeze probably going to be stronger on sunday, and it may well feel a bit colder as well. we'll continue to find some more showers heading our way. we had some rain earlier in the north—west of scotland that's getting pushed away, that easterly breeze setting up, and although we've got more breeze at the moment and, on the whole, a lot of cloud, temperatures are going to be close to freezing because it's still cold air, so we may well find the risk of a touch of frost, maybe one or two icy patches as well, and it's going to be a colder start to the day on sunday for western scotland but this could be the place to be. with more shelter, it should be dry with some sunshine. eastern scotland, the breeze off the north sea means more cloud and showers. and the wind off the irish sea

will bring in cloud and showers to eastern parts of northern ireland. more showers for england and wales, mainly for northern england and north wales. further south, the showers will be fewer but there will be a lot of cloud. we've all got that brisker easterly wind and temperatures may be a bit lower on sunday — typically five or six degrees. factor in that wind and it will feel a bit colder than that if you're going to be out and about. heading into monday, for most places, temperatures should be above freezing first thing in the morning. we're likely to have clearer skies across mainland scotland. that will lead to an early frost and maybe some sunshine on monday. for many places, though, still cloudy skies and some more showers as well, although not as many showers on monday, and the wind probably isn't going to be quite as strong, either. temperatures may actually be a shade higher on monday, peaking at around 9 degrees in the south—east of england. after that, though, it does get colder — much colder. we're going to change the wind direction from that easterly to a strengthening northerly wind that will push down across the whole of the country on tuesday onwards, and that will bring some

widespread frost as well. and you can see how temperatures are going to be dropping through the week ahead. now, for many inland areas, it may well be dry northerly wind with some sunshine around. showers will be running onto exposed coasts, exposed to that northerly wind, and we'll see most of the showers coming into some northern parts of scotland. and there is an early warning from the met office — a yellow warning at this stage — for northern areas of scotland on wednesday. a couple of centimetres of snow to lower levels and over the higher ground, we could see as much as ten centimetres — the first significant snow of the season.

this is bbc news. the headlines: argentina have beaten australia 2—1 to progress to the quarter finals of the world cup in qatar. the argentine captain, lionel messi, opened the scoring on what was his 1000th professional match. in the next round, they will face the netherlands, who beat the united states 3—1, earlier in the day. the level of the price cap on russian maritime oil exports will not stop the attacks on ukraine, according to president zelensky. he has called the $60—a—barrel cap "weak", and says it will also not stop moscow's attempts to destabilise the countries imposing the limit. the father of a four—year—old girl who's critically ill in hospital with strep a has urged parents to be on the lookout for symptons
