i'm martine croxall with the latest on bbc news. england have beaten senegal 3—0 to qualify for the quarter finals of the world cup in qatar. in the next round england will face the defending champions france, who beat poland 3—1 earlier in the day. jordan henderson put the three lions ahead after some great link up play between harry kane and jude bellingham. kane then took england one step closer to the quarter finals on the stroke of half time — scoring after a brilliant move. before bukayo saka sealed the deal in the second half. england continue their run, which dates back to 1986, of never losing a game of football to african opposition. nesta mcgregor was following the game at the al bayt stadium this evening. he gave us his impressions. i think what is interesting

is in the years to come, and months when we look back at the tournament and see just the 3—0 scoreline it would look comfortable for england, but don't forget the first 35 minutes was cagey and nervous and senegal could have taken the lead twice very early on and it would have been much different. but as you mentioned, jude bellingham pivotal and crucial to that first goal, a free—flowing run and then across forjordan henderson for the easiest tap—in. phil foden assisted harry kane, who scored his first of the tournament and bukayo saka got his third goal in the world cup, taking england's goal tally to 12, they have never scored more goals in a world cup either, albeit six coming against iran. senegal�*s fans were a credit to the team today. i was inside the stadium and 1—0, 2—0, 3—0, it didn't matter, they sang, were beating drums, they blew trumpets for the entire 90 minutes.

so i think if the football team is going to be a miss, the fans are going to be an even bigger miss. it was an amazing atmosphere. england will now face france in the quarter finals on saturday. after france beat poland 3—1 earlier. my colleague olly foster was outside the al thumana stadium to tell us how the game played out. poland not half as bad as we thought they were going to be. they limped through the group stages to set up this last 16 tie against the french, the strong favourites, of course. and it is the scoreline, the result that we expected. that it was very tight at half—time, olivier giroud had given the french the lead just before the break, his 52nd goal for his country. and that sees him overtake the great thierry henry, so olivier giroud a happy man this evening, he is now france's record goal—scorer. but you know what?

mbappe is fast going to catch up and perhaps will one day hold that record himself. it was a far quieter second half for the first sort of 20 minutes also, but then mbappe, you cannot keep a good man down. we were there, weren't we, in russia four years ago in moscow when mbappe really came to the fore, he was a teenager at that world cup in 2018, scoring four goals including in the final as well. well, he has now scored five in qatar, the first man to score that many goals before the age of 2a since the great pele. and, of course, everybody in the world of football, their thoughts are with pele who is very ill at the moment back home in brazil. but it was mbappe�*s night, two wonderful strikes to put the french 3—0. the poles kept at it and it was one of those handballs which glanced off a shoulder, an arm from upamecano, the french defender. they looked at var, they gave it to poland.

hugo lloris, the french captain, actually saved the first effort but he was way off his line and robert lewandowski stepped up to make it, well, a bit of a consolation, that's all it was for poland. they never deserved to go through. so it's the french who go through 3—1. incidentally, hugo lloris, his 142nd appearance for france, that's a joint record with lilian thuram. so a night of records, but you just know the headlines on monday will be killian mbappe, another wonderful evening for him here in qatar, he's up to five for the tournament. so here's a reminder of the rest of those last 16 matches. we already know our two quarterfinals — netherlands v argentina, and france v england. plenty more to come over the coming days too before we reach that stage though. the iranian attorney general has said the authorities are moving to dismantle the country's so called morality police which enforce a strict islamic dress—code. it follows months of protest over the death of mahsa amini,

a young woman who died in police custody, after being detained for allegedly wearing her headscarf improperly. there's been no confirmation yet from the interior ministry, which is in charge of the morality police. here in the uk, passengers are bracing for christmas rail disruptions. the leading transport sector union, rmt, has rejected an offer from the rail delivery group — which represents train companies — aimed at preventing strikes in the run up to christmas. our transport correspondent katy austin explained what the company had offered the union. there have been a lot of negotiations happening over the last few days, over this weekend, to try and see if anything can be agreed to prevent these latest strikes going ahead. the next national strikes involving the rmt union, about 40,000 rail workers across the country, are due to begin on the 13th of december, in just nine days. now, today for the first time the group representing the train companies�* side of the dispute have made an offer to unions, to the rmt. now, they describe that as a framework where essentially

there would be a 4% pay rise for this year, backdated, and a 4% pay rise for next year. however, that would depend on changes to working practices being agreed, they say, to be able to fund that pay rise. now, that includes things like changes to the way staff work at stations, who are currently on ticket offices, they would move to what the rdg described as multi—skilled roles and those ticket offices, some of them would close eventually. it also includes changes to the role of some staff on board the train and a move to more driver only operated trains, whether drivers operate the doors in more areas, because that is already in place in some areas. and also changes to the way rostering is done so that sunday working would be part of the contract and

not just voluntary. so there is quite a few conditions involved in this offer, it not just about the pay. they are saying the pay offer comes with these conditions. it's not just transport workers in the uk planning strikes for the festive season. health unions are also considering similar action. the conservative party chairman, nadhim zahawi, has said the strikes were unfair at christmas. the general secretary of the royal college of nursing, pat cullen, gave us her reaction. the chairman is playing what he considers a clever game. our nurses know exactly what has caused the cost of living crisis and it's a decade of underpayment to our nurses, their pay falling by 20%, that has placed them in this position. it's not the issues with putin at this point in time that has caused the crisis in the nhs.

so for the tory chairman to come out and say that is certainly not lost on my nursing colleagues, but i don't think it will be lost on the people of this country either. sot) patch: the royal college of nursing. jewellers have begun resizing the crown which will be used for the coronation of king charles next may. the st edwards crown weighs nearly four and a half pounds and is normally on display with the rest of the crown jewels at the tower of london. here's our royal correspondent, daniela relph. the st edward's crown marks the actual moment of coronation, used here by queen elizabeth in 1953. the crown dates back to 1661, made for king charles ii. now, it is being altered to fit king charles iii, ready for his coronation next year. the operation to move the crown from the tower of london happened at night and under tight security.

it is now being altered at a secret location by the crown jeweller. the st edward's crown has a solid gold frame and is set with rubies, amethysts and sapphires. it is the centrepiece of the crown jewels. plans for the king's coronation on the 6th of may next year at westminster abbey, are well underway. buckingham palace says the ceremony will reflect the monarch's role today, and look to the future. but some things will remain unchanged and rooted in long standing traditions and pageantry. the st edward's crown is one of them. daniela ralph, bbc news. stay with us on the bbc news channel. coming up next, the main evening news with clive myrie.

england are through to the quarter finals of the world cup after a convincing victory over senegal in qatar. it was a one... two... three for england, who now face the defending champions france on saturday. millions up and down the country went berserk as the goals rolled in. you know, once we managed to get the goal, that settled us down a bit. and the quality of the moves for our goals and the clinical nature of the finishing was outstanding. i will be live here nearjohar where england _ i will be live here nearjohar where england have just ensured their world _ england have just ensured their world cup adventure has been extended by another week at least.

also tonight... the main rail union rejects a new pay offer. upcoming strikes over christmas are set to go ahead. and england's cricketers fight their way to a winning position in the first test against pakistan. good evening. england are through to the quarter finals of the world cup in qatar, following a convincing 3—0 victory over the african champions, senegal. captain harry kane was among the scorers with his first goal of the tournament. england now play the defending world champions france on saturday, after they beat poland, 3—1. well, our sports editor, dan roan is live at the al bayt stadium, in qatar and watched the england win. dan. for years, england used to view such high—pressure knockout matches as

this with a degree of trepidation, but no longer. not under gareth southgate who has helped turn his side into a force at major tournaments. no team had scored more goals or earned more points in the group stage of this qatar world cup but tonight they faced a step up in class against a dangerous looking senegal side, class against a dangerous looking senegalside, but class against a dangerous looking senegal side, but his team delivered another convincing performance. hours before kick—off, senegal made their presence felt here. their team underdogs but their fans displaying the support for which they have become known. england arrived without raheem sterling, unavailable due to him dealing with a family matter. and a surprise in selection, in—form marcus rashford, the team's leading scorer here, dropping to the bench. such a decision now involved heightened pressure, as this was knockout football. and while england were high on confidence, having topped their group, there was an early scare, a golden chance wasted by ismaila sarr. england were on the ropes. dia denied byjordan pickford.

the goalkeeper blocking brilliantly to keep it level. only one set of fans was enjoying this. the relentless drumming of the senegal supporters providing a formidable backdrop to their team's domination. but england had survived and then, finally, they responded. and henderson puts it in! in a flowing move, jude bellingham eventually found jordan henderson, who timed his run and finish to perfection. england's midfield of youth and experience combining to give them the lead. and then, just before half—time, it got even better. the irresistible bellingham powering through before the ball made its way via phil foden to harry kane. hammered home! what a time for the captain to score his first goal of the tournament. gareth southgate�*s bold selection had paid off and england's pedigree was increasingly evident. foden, marauding down the left before crossing for bukayo saka. and it is the young lions at it again!

this, the recalled forward's third goal of the tournament. shock results have come to define this world cup but not here, and not tonight. england's place in the quarterfinals now secure. with so much at stake, knockout matches like this are often cagey affairs. but not here. england's performance, a real statement of intent. their strength in depth continuing to impress. once we managed to get the goal, that settled us down a bit. the quality of the moves for our goals, and the clinical nature of the finishing was outstanding. i am a striker so scoring goals is what i love to do. not many better feelings in the world. yeah, to see that one go into the back of the net was a great feeling. the fans who made their way here, enjoying this first winter world cup. confidence building. i think they can do it. this might be their year. the chips are falling into place. we will have to wait and see. if they beat france, they could win it but i think that's the big hurdle they have got. france are playing well.

and so england's adventure continues here. and while the world cup champions themselves lie in wait, england will now believe that they too can be overcome. well, millions up and down the country tuned in to watch the game, and joining some of them in penistone, near barnsley, was our dan johnson. the local lad still has pride of place here at penistone church fc, where england'sjohn stones started out as a schoolboy. tom knew him and now coaches here. he came to watch a steady start to the game. it's a world cup game. it's tight. um, i'm nervous, i'm excited but i think we will do all right. but after a0 minutes of relative frustration... cheering. things opened up. cheering. great goal, to be fair. we've lost the beers! hopefully we can carry on and keep scoring a couple more now. come on!

finish the game off. i don't know, i'm always nervous when i'm watching england, always nervous. like i said, we have not been brilliant. they will need a fresh round. but ryan needn't have worried. cheering. 2-0. all aboutjude bellingham, that goal, all aboutjude bellingham. # we've got harry kane, harry kane, we've got harry kane! cheering. this was the celebration at a bar near wembley. and at a nightclub in bournemouth. cheering. back in barnsley, the second half started like the first half finished. cheering and applause. what do you reckon to that? brilliant, brilliant. it's coming home! a comfortable win, then. what do you reckon? great result in the end. i was a bit nervous to start with. we have taken them to the cleaners tonight. . onwards and upwards for the england boys. | they reckon the next generation of england stars will come from here, maybe even two—month—old archie,

but he will need to keep his eye on the ball. danjohnson, bbc news, penistone. england's opponents in the quarter finals will be the current world champions, france. they beat poland 3—1 with two spectacular goals from their star striker kylian mbappe. olly foster has that story. allez les bleus! after navigating the craziness of the group stage, the world champions could turn up the volume, and they had every reason to be confident. they made nine changes in their last match — happily for them, an irrelevant defeat to tunisia. those were the french impressionists. this was a more accurate likeness of les bleus. although they did need a first—half scare before they saw the big picture. the poles had been shot—shy in qatar but in a few seconds looked more attacking than they had done at any point in the last few weeks. hugo lloris needn't have worried.

kylian mbappe threading the through ball for olivier giroud to score his 52nd france goal, overtaking thierry henry. it's a record mbappe might one day hold himself. he has time on his side. as he always seems to. he was just a teenager when he scored in the last world cup final, and his five goals so far in qatar have taken the french a step closer to another one. the french did concede a late penalty and they showed enough defensive lapses that would give a better side than poland some encouragement, but at the same time, they will be favourites, and they should be feared in next saturday's quarterfinal. olly foster, bbc news, at the al thumama stadium. well, let's take a look at how the tournament is shaping up, and the route that england or france faces if they want to reach the final. they play each other, this coming saturday at seven o'clock, with the winner going through to the semis, to face one of four teams in their half of the draw — morocco, spain, portugal or switzerland.

they all play on tuesday, to decide their quarter final line up, with that match this coming saturday and the semifinal, the following wednesday. the winner then progresses to the final on sunday, december the 18th, to face one of the teams from the other half of the draw, with pre—tournament favourites brazil and argentina, still in the hunt. let's rejoin our sports editor, dan roan, live in qatar. the french, the defending champions will undoubtedly be a tougher proposition for england than senegal. proposition for england than sene . al. , ., , senegal. they will and they will start as favourites, _ senegal. they will and they will start as favourites, and - senegal. they will and they will start as favourites, and it's - senegal. they will and they will start as favourites, and it's fair| start as favourites, and it's fair to say that france will be a step up in class compared to anything gareth southgate's england side has faced during his tenure at a major tournament. they are, as you say, the world champions and have strength through the side and they have mbappe as well, one of the most scintillating and special talents in world football. there is no doubt that england will be punished if they play like they did in the first

half an hour this evening when senegal could have taken the lead. having said all of that, france not invincible. tunisia beat them here invincible. tunisia beat them here in the group stages, and i think they will be concerned about england based on the performance this evening. they will be worried about the pace of saka, the creativity of foden, the goal threat of harry kane and perhaps in particular they will be concerned aboutjude bellingham who once again reinforced his reputation and looks increasingly like he could just be the missing piece in the jigsaw for gareth southgate's i compared to other recent performances at major tournaments. what is uncertain is whether england will have a raheem sterling at their disposal because it's emerged in the last hour that the family matter he was dealing with the reason he unavailable was because, sadly, his family home, they were victims of an armed robbery back in the uk and he's having to return to support them. i think whether or not he is available to england back here on saturday

night at the al bayt, it will be fascinating to see whether or not this side has developed enough now to take on and beat a true heavyweight footballing nation. four years ago they failed to and last years ago they failed to and last yearin years ago they failed to and last year in the final against italy, again, they failed to but there is a sense that england have developed and this is perhaps developing into something special.— and this is perhaps developing into something special. damn, thank you very much- — the rmt union has rejected a new pay offer from the rail delivery group, which represents train companies, aimed at averting a series of strikes in the run up to christmas. the offer included a pay rise of up to 8% over two years, but the union says it isn't enough. tonight, the transport secretary described the situation as incredibly disappointing. our political correspondent ben wright is here. so, those christmas strikes, they are still on the table. the? so, those christmas strikes, they are still on the table.— are still on the table. they look almost certain _ are still on the table. they look almost certain to _ are still on the table. they look almost certain to go _ are still on the table. they look almost certain to go ahead, - are still on the table. they look- almost certain to go ahead, frankly, after the rmt rejected today's offer saying it met none of its demands on

pay, saying it met none of its demands on payliob saying it met none of its demands on pay, job security and working conditions and as you said, the transport secretary mark harper said the situation was incredibly disappointing and unfair to the public. in other disputes, and there are many of them, ministers are largely staying out of the wrangling between unions and employers beyond saying that it in their view inflation level pay rises in the public sector are unaffordable. but today the cabinet minister nadhim zahawi really hard and the government rhetoric and told the bbc it was unfair for government rhetoric and told the bbc it was unfairfor unions government rhetoric and told the bbc it was unfair for unions to cause disruption over christmas, and even claimed that industrial action was playing into the hands of vladimir putin by dividing the country. that suggestion infuriated the royal couege suggestion infuriated the royal college of nursing which said that using russia's war in ukraine as justification for a real terms pay cut for nurses was a new low for the government. there is plenty of blame flying around at the moment as the government beefs up its contingency plans for dealing with strikes as we head into the winter.—

let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories. after weeks of protests, iran's attorney general says the country's religious police, who are responsible for enforcing strict islamic dress codes, has been disbanded. but this hasn't been confirmed by others in the ruling regime. there've been numerous demonstrations against the so—called �*morality police,�* after the death in custody of a young woman, arrested for allegedly wearing her hijab incorrectly. the world health organization says china could be "hit hard" by covid, as its relaxes strict lockdown measures. the country has been pursuing a "zero—covid" policy since the beginning of the pandemic, but in the wake of a wave of protests, many cities have begun lifting some restrictions. and the bbc understands that talks are taking place between buckingham palace and a british charity boss, who accused a former lady—in—waiting of racism. lady susan hussey, stepped down from her honorary role, after questioning ngozi fulani about her background. the palace described the remarks as "unacceptable and deeply regrettable".

the chairman of the conservative party, nadhim zahawi, says he�*d like to see images of self harm made illegal on the internet. his comments come as the government�*s online safety bill returns to parliament tomorrow. the actress kate winslet has now entered the debate about online harms, ahead of a hard hitting drama, and has been speaking to the bbc as angus crawford reports. perhaps more than any other, it�*s molly russell�*s story that has influenced the online safety bill and alerted parents to the potential power of social media to do harm. molly took her own life after being exposed to a stream of negative content. what�*s the matter? nothing. now a powerful new drama about the damage of online addiction, destroying family relationships. stop. you are driving me to do this! starring kate winslet

and her daughter, mia. i really do struggle with social media, i struggle with the impact it is clearly having on teenage mental health, i do wish that our government would crack down on it. i do wish there would be certain platforms which were banned before a certain age. and she wants accountability. parents are left flailing. "well, thank you so much, government, look whatjust happened to my child." and how can you possibly tell me that, "oops, it�*s not my fault?" there are people shirking responsibility all the time. online safety bill does... the answer might be the online safety bill. delayed... ..and amended. it�*s taken years but will be back before the commons tomorrow. it contains new clauses, criminal offences around pornography and self—harm content, but dropped are plans for ministers to decide what legal material should be classified as harmful for adults

and be taken down by the platforms. although today the conservative party chairman seemed to want a further tightening of the rules. what we have to do for both children and adults, i think, is make sure things like self—harm images should be illegal, and that is how you deal with them. but the right balance to strike is between free speech and freedom of expression as well as dealing with this. labour, though, wants to bring back the legal but harmful clause. if you look at what that is around, it�*s russian disinformation, misogynistic organising online, the sort of so—called incel culture. there is a lot out there in the online space that i think goes beyond the impact on children and young people. who is messaging you at that time of night anyway? drama which reflects real—world concerns about social media. and in front of mps, a complex bill years in the making, dividing opinion, trying to right that balance between family and big tech. angus crawford, bbc news.

ten men are due to go on trial in brussels this week, in connection with the suicide bombings on the city in 2016, that killed 32 people. the attacks at the main airport and on the metro, were the deadliest on belgian soil since the second world war. nearly a thousand survivors and relatives of victims will be represented in court, as our europe correspondent, nick beake reports. "there�*s been an attack on the metro", and just as soon as i heard that, you know, you can feel, like, the bottom fall out of your world. it�*s six years now since terror shattered charlotte�*s life. she and her partner david had made brussels home, and it was where they were bringing up their son, henry. three days after the suicide bombings on the city, a belgian police social worker rang her. it was dark. i was walking the dog

around the streets. and she told me that david wasn�*t one of the living and i had to prepare for the worst. it was a phone call. it was a phone call, yeah. to say, basically, your partner is dead. david was the only british victim. one of 16 people murdered on the metro. an hour earlier, 16 others had been killed at the main airport. charlotte channelled her grief into campaigning for victims of terror, and wants to travel from the uk to the brussels trial to make a statement. i think having david appear in that court and being able to draw a picture of david, by someone who really loved him, will give me some peace. because in this process he is basically a victim, a person, a list of injuries, fatal injuries, the place where he was found.

she was like an angel, she was beautiful, and when we talk about love...look, not talk. lubna was muhammad�*s wife. he said he wanted to create a jihad of love after she was murdered in the attacks. his home is still in the molenbeek area where some of the accused lived and were sheltered. translation: i sincerely hope the terrorists will take the path of redemption because, for me, to condemn them as they are with the same ideas in their heads, that would be a failure for all of us. i am terrified about what the trial will bring. it could do us so much damage, because it would throw us back into the biggest crisis of our lives. so, i will stay away. charlotte will be there, though, with a message. they destroyed some of us but we come together and we are stronger, and that is why they won�*t win.

nick beake, bbc news, brussels. england�*s cricketers have fought their way into a potentially winning position, in the first test in pakistan. they lead by 262 runs going into the final day after some thrilling play in rawalpindi. the day started with pakistan�*s first innings drawing to a close. joel wilson was watching. day four in rawalpindi began with pakistan batting and time disappearing. finally all out for 579 thanks to the bowling of willjacks, a last—minute selection, really a batter. he took six wickets on his debut. keep watching... carefully, because now it was england�*s second innings, trying to extend their lead in the middle rapidly. joe root�*s trick shot, still a thrill to see that in a test match, unless you are bowling. almost amusing. here is the same root playing left—handed.
