welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore. i'm monica miller. the headlines: england's footballers cruise past senegal and secure a place in the world cup quarter—finals after beating them 3—0. cheering millions of fans celebrated across the uk as the goals rolled in. england will face a mouthwatering tie against france in the quarter—finals, after the defending champions beat poland 3—1. in other headlines: belgium is set for the trial of 10 men accused of involvement in the deadliest attack on belgian soil in decades, which left 32 people dead.

the actress kate winsletjoins calls for the uk government to do more to stop images of self—harm spreading online. announcer: live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news — it's newsday. england and france will meet in the world cup quarter—finals next saturday after both sides won their last 16 games in doha on sunday. england beat the african champions senegal. and it was senegal who looked most likely to score in the first 30 minutes, until england finally seemed to up the tempo. jordan henderson opened the scoring, after this cross from jude bellingham,
1:02 am
who was england's star man of the game. and it was bukayo saka who added a third after the break. an impressive demolition of the african champions. ice looked, it is a brilliant game. the two quarter—finals of 80 decided, fantastic football nations. a record not good as some of the others. somebody told me it is the first time we have one knockout games in three consecutive finals though not particularly impressive but i am pleased to be able to do that and now we have got a few days to recover and we look forward to what is going to be a brilliant test. nesta mcgregor was following the game at the stadium. he gave us this reaction. i think what is interesting in that, in the years to come, you know, when we look back at the tournament and we see just the scoreline at 3—0, it would look like a
1:03 am
comfortable win for england but let's not forget that first 35 minutes was a cagey, nervous affair, and senegal could have taken the lead twice very, very early on and it would have been a much different game, but as you mentioned, jude bellingham pivotal and crucial to that first goal. you know, a free—flowing run and then a cross forjordan henderson — the easiest of tap—ins. phil foden then assisted harry kane, who scored his first goal of the tournament, and as you mentioned, bukayo saka, now his third goal in the world cup. that takes england's goal tally to 12. they have never scored more goals in a world cup either, albeit six of those did came against iran. it is worth mentioning, senegal, their fans were a credit to their team today. i was inside the stadium, ans 1—0, 2—0, 3—0, it did not matter, they sang, they were beating drums, they were blowing trumpets for the entire 90 minutes so i think, if the football team is going to be missed, the fans are going to be an even bigger miss. it was an amazing atmosphere.
1:04 am
what an exciting time and deed. —— indeed. france beat poland 3—1 earlier, as they look to win the torunament for a second successive time. star of the show was kylian m'bappe as 0lly foster now reports. 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. but it was very tight at half—time. 0livier 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 0livier giroud a happy man this evening, he is now france's record goal—scorer. but you know what? kylian mbappe is fast going to catch up and perhaps will one day hold that record himself.
1:05 am
it was a far quieter second half for the first sort of 20 minutes or so, but then mbappe, you cannot keep a good man down. we were there, weren't we, in russia four years ago 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 up. the poles kept at it and there was one of those handballs that 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
1:06 am
was way off his line, and robert lewandowski stepped up to make it, well, a bit of a consolation, 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 kylian mbappe, another wonderful evening for him here in qatar, he's up to five for the tournament. earlier i caught up with sports journalist callum bell to get his reaction to the england senegal game. senegal could have gone one if not 2—0 up with the two chances they had in the first 35 minutes. they created the opportunities theyjust couldn't take them, that is the difference between them and england. england took their chances. jordan henderson with the opening goal, it was a one touch finish past the goalkeeper. you don't think senegal would do that in the same situation and they
1:07 am
didn't, ultimately. they also just lost goals at really bad times. you could argue obviously there is no good time to lose a goal but there are worse times than others and just on the stroke of half—time to lose that goal to make it 2—0 completely changes the team talk, completely changes the dressing room at half—time. it's really hard to come back from. whereas 1—0, you still have a bit of gumption, you can really fight for something in the second half. but not being clinical, losing goals at bad times is really senegal�*s downfall. they are going to face france which is a hard team to beat, so what should we expect? i think you should expect goals. i think both teams have incredible front lines. kylian mbappe is just utterly sensational. what a footballer. today there were times when he got the ball and there was nothing on and he makes a situation out of nothing. he scores two great goals. but england are the same. jude bellingham from midfield would be great. but players like bukayo saka just keep scoring. marcus rashford came off the bench, he is another one who can get goals, harry kane likes to drop a bit deeper, is a playmaker, but as we saw today can still score.
1:08 am
i think you will see goals, and i'm going to put my scotland cap back on just for two seconds — i think france might just edge it. 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 1,000 survivors and relatives of victims of the brussels atrocity, will be represented in court, as our europe correspondent, nick beake reports. there has been an attack on the metro and just as soon i heard that, you know, you can feel the bottom fall out of your world. it is six years now since terror shattered charlotte's life. she and her partner david had made brussels home and it's where they were bringing up their son henry. three days after the suicide bombings on the city, a belgian police social
1:09 am
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, it will give me some peace because in this process he is basically a victim,
1:10 am
person, a list of injuries, fatal injuries, a place where he was found. she was like an angel, she was beautiful, and when we talk about love, loubna talk. loubna was mohamed'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 head, 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,
1:11 am
though, with a message. they destroyed some of us but we come together and we're stronger and that's why they won't win. nick beake, bbc news, brussels. south african president cyril ramaphosa says his fate is in his party's hands, it's his first comments since an official report on a scandal over money stolen from his farm. the president has now said the party top brass should decide his next move. i have just attended a meeting of the national working committee and i have been recused from the meeting because they are going to discuss the panel's report and as per our own experience and
1:12 am
history and tradition, it is always best, one a matter that affects a person personally should be discussed in their absence so that is precisely what has led to my recusal to allow members of the national working committee to have a thoroughgoing discussion on the report without my presence, without rather, me being there, so they are free to express themselves as openly and as thoroughly as possible, without any form of fear or favour. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: the giant tortoise who's about to celebrate his 190th birthday with a three—day party.
1:13 am
john lennon was shot at the entrance to the dakota building in the centre of new york. there's been a crowd here standing in more or less silent vigil and the flowers have been piling up. the 14th ceasefire of this war ended at the walls of the old city of dubrovnik. this morning witnesses said shells were landing every 20 seconds. people are celebrating the passing of a man they hold responsible for hundreds of deaths and oppression. elsewhere, people have been gathering to mourn his passing. imelda marcos, the widow of the former president of the philippines, has gone on trial in manila. she is facing seven charges of tax evasion, estimated at £120 million. she pleaded not guilty. the prince and princess are to separate. the statement from buckingham palace said the decision
1:14 am
had been reached amicably. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm monica miller in singapore. 0ur headlines: england's footballers have secured a place in the world cup quarter finals after beating senegal 3—0. england will face a mouthwatering tie against france in the quarter—finals after the defending champions beat poland. now, this is the first world cup where six teams from the asian federations have reached the finals. shaimaa khalil has been looking at the efforts of the three teams from the asia pacific region —japan, south korea and australia, who were knocked out on saturday by argentina. it has been a tournament of high emotion and high drama. so far, the asia—pacific teams have delivered some of the most
1:15 am
extraordinary moments. melbourne's federation square erupted in celebration last week with australian fans in raptures as their side beat denmark to secure a place in the knockout stages. for those who have travelled all the way from down under, it was all worth it. even though australia's dreams have been dashed by argentina, they go home a proud squad. probably better than we expected, domestically. but for those of us here, we always viewed the round of 16 as the goal, so, yeah, pretty happy. i feel incredibly proud. these boys have come from not a strong football nation and they have worked their guts out. we don't have the history that| some of these south american and european teams have but, you know, maybe . it is the start. of a new legacy. that is what the world cup is about, right? it is bringing teams that wouldn't ordinarily be on the big stage, it's bringing them
1:16 am
to the big stage. it was tears of delight and disbelief for the south korean fans and players as the team seized their place in the knockout stages, beating cristiano ronaldo's portugal 2—1. but before they could celebrate, the players then huddled around a phone to see uruguay fall short and exit the world cup. japan has been an astounding presence in this tournament, they beat the 2010 world cup winners spain, making it to the last 16, and kicking the four—time world champions germany out as they landed on top of their group. the samurai blue are taking nothing for granted as they get ready to face croatia. the performances of these teams may have taken their opponents by surprise by their success so far was not by chance. the reasons for they are doing well is the background of their own players, they have now the experience with the european football, and they are learning quite a lot of things, and not only
1:17 am
techniques and tactics but also the mental side as well. so that has added some kind of changes to their football and which has kind of put everything together. these asia—pacific teams have given their fans so much to cheer for and have left some of the biggest squads in the world scratching their heads at times. they have been fearless on the pitch and many are now asking whether this could be the start of a new era of football. with the socceroos out, japan and south korea both braced for their next fight as they face croatia and brazil, two games that could potentially deliver more jaw—dropping upsets. win or lose, those teams have proven themselves worthy opponents against the giants of the game. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, doha. earlier i spoke to paul letters, founder of a website called not your average england fan.
1:18 am
he hasjoined us in doha, where he's been at tonight's england—senegal game with his son. and we started with his emotions on the game. we only got back about 20 minutes ago, my flatmates and my sonjames here, yeah, great night, and a bit of a tense beginning to the game but once england got going, they really got going. now, you have been given companion tickets, tell us what that is and who you have been inviting to the matches. yes, so i am a wheelchair user and once i realised i would be fortunate enough to be here for the entirety of the world cup and get tickets for a lot of games, they were about £11 for group games for a ticket for me, and then i get a free ticket with that for a companion, and my sonjoined me a couple of days ago but before that i went to seven or eight games and i was thinking
1:19 am
about the ethical issues of the migrant workers, like you said, and how could i do something, however small, and, yeah, it then seemed obvious that i've got these spare tickets and i made contact with migrant workers, for example when i landed at doha airport, there was a young man from kenya who was the airport porter, we landed at four o'clock in the morning and it took two hours for them to retrieve my wheelchair and he was with me patiently and calmly all the way, and he is a passionate football fan, i asked him his favourite team, he said england, so i took him to the england iran game and, yeah, had a great time there. and what are some of the stories they have been telling you about their experience in qatar? yes, i have taken six or seven migrant workers to games and i have also talked
1:20 am
to others, so they have told me, and i won't use any of their real names of anyone but from countries such as uganda and kenya, they in effect are indentured workers, they are contracted out here, the world is told they get a minimum wage since the fifa and the world cup got involved and international labour 0rganisation stepped in, but that is a headline figure, they would only get that figure if they worked seven days a week, never had a day off, did two hours extra per day, so over time, every day which meant they wouldn't get paid for it, so in reality, none of them get this supposed minimum wage that we are told they get. and they live in six or eight in a room, they don't even have a fridge, normally, so very little
1:21 am
in the way of facilities. but the sad truth is that at least in some cases, when i asked if you knew the reality before you left uganda or kenya, would you still come? and many say yes because it is better than the alternative back at home. a leading british politician has said he'd like to see images of self harm made illegal on the internet. the comments from the conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi come as british lawmakers prepare to debate new legislation on monday. the bbc�*s angus crawford reports. perhaps more than any other, it's molly russell's story that has influenced the 0nline 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.
1:22 am
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, "0ops, it's not my fault?" there are people shirking responsibility all the time. 0nline safety bill does... the answer might be the 0nline safety bill. delayed... ..and amended. it's taken years but
1:23 am
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, its 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.
1:24 am
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. and, finally, jonathan the seychelles giant tortoise is about to celebrate his 190th birthday with a three—day party. now blind, and lacking a sense of smell, he still enjoys eating and sleeping, and spending time with his girlfriend, emma. what these little eyes could have — what these little eyes could have seen over the years. the rise and fall _ have seen over the years. the rise and fall of _ have seen over the years. tie: rise and fall of empires, kings and queens, world wars. at 190, hejust missed meeting napoleon by a few years. he

great granddaughter. island authorities have made plans for his eventual demise, his shell will be preserved for posterity. how lovely. that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello there. last week, the weather story was dominated with low cloud, mist and fog. this week, however, is quite a significant gear change to something a little bit more wintry. certainly turning colder. but yes, there's going to be a chance of snow. more on that in just a moment. widespread frost as well for all of us. so, last week we were under the influence of this area of high pressure. but, over the next few days we can track the isobars back to the north. the wind direction changing, and that will introduce this colder air. not quite there during monday. more of a northeasterly flow. monday will be a lot of low grey cloud. a cold day. some showers spilling off the east coast and filtering a little bit further west. not that much sunshine around. favoured spots, western
1:27 am
scotland and northern ireland with highs of five to eight celsius. so, the wind direction starting to drag down that cold arctic air. as we move through tuesday, particularly tuesday night to wednesday. so for tuesday, the emphasis to the showers changes a little. along those exposed north coasts, still running along the east coast. and some pushing down through the irish sea as well. in between, there will be some sunshine around on tuesday. still another cold day. now those clear skies by day will lead to a very cold night. widespread temperatures down to minus two degrees. so, a hard frost to greet pretty much all of us first thing on wednesday morning. and that's when we're going to start to see the risk of some snow showers. particularly into the far north of scotland. a veil of cloud sinking its way steadily south. central and southern areas the best of the sunshine. but the met office has issued an early warning for snow on wednesday. we could see as much as 2—10cm settling even at lower levels as we go through the day.
1:28 am
and it's turning noticeably colder on wednesday. temperatures struggling just a few degrees above freezing. factor in the wind, probably feeling more like —2 to —3 along those exposed northeastern areas. then as we move into wednesday we need to keep a close eye on the area of low pressure. the position of that low is going to influence where we are likely to see some wintry showers. but we could see some wintry showers through the southwest. and potentially along that east coast. if the low tracks a little bit further west, there would be more showers coming in further england. but again staying cold.
