ceremonies to mark the start of construction of the world's biggest telescope, spread across two continents. hello and welcome to bbc news. england are through to the quarter—finals of the football world cup in qatar, after a convincing 3—0 win over the african champions senegal. 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 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, i was inside the stadium, and 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. france beat poland, 3—1, earlier, as they hope to win the tournament again. they won the last world cup four years ago.

the star of the show was kylian m'bappe, as olly 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. 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? kylian 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 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 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 kylian mbappe, another wonderful evening for him here in qatar, he's up to five for the tournament. well, expat, paul reaney who's president of green couch tv in los angeles, told me he's confident that the world cup is coming home to england. it was an exciting day today — yesterday for you guys — but it was today, and we woke up to a great game against senegal and england keeps marching on. cheering from hollywood here. the first half was a bit rocky. then came henderson, then came kane, and i thought, ok, england will be safe. is that what you thought as well? you know what, we went into this and i thought we started off really well in the tournament against iran.

the welsh game, we really looked professional. i think america, it tempered our excitement a little bit but today, senegal, we were hungry and we really sort of like brought it. hungry and brought it, indeed. i have to ask, how did you watch the match? where were you? i was with my son, who is half american, half english, so he is obviously cheering on england now that america sadly went out of the top 16. so, we've still got a team in and he's excited as i am right now and we are watching england go all the way. the excitement is brilliant but we can't get to complacent, the excitement is brilliant but we can't get too complacent, can we, because you've got uruguay, you've got germany, former champions, they are out. so, moving forward, what tactics should england use, do you think? i think we are in such a good position. we've had 12 goals now, which is great for a tournament thus far and from eight different players, so,

i think southgate has got a plethora of great players to choose from and it isn't going to get better because i think we're going to make it all the way to the final. i am loving the positivity. now, england will be playing france on saturday and after the match against poland today, france, they are on good form. so, are you a bit nervous for saturday's match against france? i am and i am worried that it may go to penalties, and if it goes to penalties, every englishman and woman will be sat on the edge of their seats because we know out track records when it comes to penalties in the world cup. and ijust have end this on a very simple question, it's the million dollar question, do you think it will be coming home for england? the three lions are going to roar and it is going to be england versus brazil and the underdogs england are going to roar it all the way to world cup glory.

paul reaney. telling us it will be coming home for england. iran's attorney general has said that the morality police, which enforces the strict islamic dress code, is being disbanded, after a wave of anti—government protests. but the decision has not been confirmed by other government departments in iran, including the interior ministry. our news reporter azadeh moshiri joins us now. thank you so much forjoining me. if you could just talk us through these developments, how significant is it really? i5 significant is it really? is that that has been no official government response and that is extremely important because what we are actually talking about here are some throwaway, the attorney general made during a press conference when a reporter asked him a specific question and live and he said thejudiciary has no purview over the morality police. this is not actually his department.

there is a new cycle within iran and the state media about his comments. again, no official announcement of the relative police is being abolished. what could be happening is the government was actually feeling out what the public responsibly for a change. the attorney general said thejudiciary would continue to said the judiciary would continue to supervise and monitor irani and society and the behaviour show no leniency towards protesters and in fact he did not call the protesters but rioters. —— iranian. the government is not acknowledging its citizens is protesting the government. they are calling them dangerous rioters threatening the islamic republic. in threatening the islamic republic— threatening the islamic reublic. , ., ., threatening the islamic reublic. ., republic. in terms of what you 'ust republic. in terms of what you just said. _ republic. in terms of what you just said, what _ republic. in terms of what you just said, what is _ republic. in terms of what you just said, what is the - republic. in terms of what you just said, what is the status i just said, what is the status of the morality police in iran right now? will hear more about

satisfy protesters? are they going to forget what is happening in the past few months? and after chanting, death to the dictator, saying that what the islamic republic gone, they going to be satisfied with a policy change or reform? three more days of protests and strikes and been called for. if this was some sort of intestacy whether this would quash dissent, it is not clear. . ~' , ., , would quash dissent, it is not clear. . ~ , ., , . ., clear. thank you very much for our clear. thank you very much for your time- _ ten men are due to go on trial in brussels this week, in connection with the suicide bombings that killed 32 people. the attacks happened in 2016, at the city's main airport and on the metro. it was the deadliest attack on belgian soil since the second world war. nearly 1,000 survivors and relatives of the victims will be represented in court. 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 just fall out of your world. it is six years now since terror shattered cha rlotte'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 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, 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, 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 has made his first comments since the release of an official report on a scandal over money stolen from his farm. he's accused of failing to report the theft of millions of dollars. a panel of legal experts concluded he may have broken the law. the president has said he will leave his fate to the governing anc. i've 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 history and tradition, it's always best when a matter that affects a person personally should be discussed in their absence, so that is precisely what has led to my recusal, to enable members of the national working committee to have a thoroughgoing discussion on the report without my presence — without, rather, me being there — so that they are free to express themselves as openly and as thoroughly as possible, without any form

a mouthwatering tie against france in the quarterfinals after the defending champions beat poland. a leading british politician has said he would like to see images of self—harm made illegal on the internet. the comments from the conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi come as british law makers prepare to debate new legislation on monday. the actress kate winslet has also entered the debate ahead of a tv drama inspired by the death of molly russell, a teenagerfrom britain. angus crawford reports. perhaps more than any other, it's molly russell's story that 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... i'm not perfect! please 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's clearly having on teenage mental health. i do wish that our government would crack down on it, i do wish that there would be certain platforms that were banned before a certain age. ..and she wants accountability. parents are left flailing, going, "well, thank you so much, government. "look what just happened to my child." and how can you possibly tell me that, "oops, "it's not my fault?" there's people shirking responsibility all the time. ..online safety bill does complete... the answer might be the online safety bill. ..with the online safety bill... delayed... well, can i thank my honourable friend? ..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've got to do, for both children and adults, i think, is make sure things like self—harm images should be illegal — and that's how you deal with them. but the right balance to strike is between that, you know, 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, it's misogynistic organising online — the kind of sort of so—called incel culture. there's a lot out there in that online space that i think goes beyond the impact on children and young people. who on earth is possibly 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. ceremonies are getting underway in australia and south africa to mark the start of construction on the world's biggest telescope. the square kilometre array is a network of radio antennae spread across two continents. it will aim to address some of the major outstanding questions in astrophysics. this is an artist's impression of what the telescope will look like, once it's completed in six years. professor cathryn trott is the chief operations scientist on this project in australia. she says the telescope will allow astronomers to study the very earliest moments of our universe. in australia, we're building a low—frequency telescope that

will operate from 50 to 350 megahertz and in south africa, a telescope operating from 350 megahertz to 15 gigahertz. and across those two telescopes, we're able to look at the full evolution of the universe from its infancy until the present day. so, in australia here, we're building a telescope that will span nearly 75 kilometres across the western australian outback. it will be nearly ten times as sensitive as any radio telescope that we have now. and what it delivers for us is very sensitive observations to look deep into the universe, to look at a wide frame of the universe at any one time, but also to have very fine details in order for us to be able to undertake our science. now, that's a telescope on a really big scale and you mentioned some of those points there, but what are you hoping to see from this and what are you hoping to learn exactly from this telescope? the science undertaken by the observatory is very, very broad.

here in australia, the low telescope will have a couple of very large science goals. the first is to look for the cosmic dawn. this is a period 200 million years after the big bang, so that's 13.6 billion years in our past, when the universe was dark and filled with neutral hydrogen gas from the big bang. the very first stars and galaxies turn on in this period, illuminating the cosmos for the first time and completely transforming the whole universe to look like the one we have today. so, this is a key period audio i cuts out universe that we know had to happen but we've never yet observed it. the other very big science programme that we are hoping to do is to look at pulsars. so pulsars are very precise clocks in the universe. audio cuts out the stars that rotate very

rapidly at a very constant rate and we can look at the changes in the ticking of these clocks to be able to look for gravitational waves as they travel through the universe and distort space time, and this is something that ska—mid and ska—low high will be able to do very precisely. now, jonathan the giant tortoise from the seychelles is about to celebrate a big birthday — he is turning 190. he is now blind and lacks a sense of smell but the oldest known living land mammal still enjoys eating and sleeping. gail maclellan reports. what these little eyes could have seen over the years — the rise and fall of empires, kings and queens, world wars. jonathan lives on saint helena. and at approximately 190, hejust missed meeting napoleon by a few years. he was here when there were boer prisoners of war here and he actually five when queen victoria ascended to the throne, so... chuckles. he's believed to be the oldest living land mammal and the oldest tortoise ever.

he's a seychelles giant tortoise and is enjoying a comfortable retirement in the official residence of the governor of the island. his birthday�*s being marked with parties and the issue of a special stamp. he might be slowing down a little — though, how can you tell? — and a lot of the food he eats seems somehow to miss his mouth. i think his favourite is probably banana and gouyave — that's guava, but we call them gouyave here — so, but he tends to makes a big mess when he eats those, but he really likes them. chuckles. and, like most 190—year—olds, he has a girlfriend. her name is emma, and she's and she's young enough to be his great—great—great—great— granddaughter. island authorities have already made plans for his eventual demise — his shell will be preserved for posterity. gail maclellan, bbc news. there you go. what a milestone.

hgppy there you go. what a milestone. happy birthday to jonathan, who turns 190 years old. we hope he enjoys his three days of celebrating with his girlfriend. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @monikaplaha. you're watching bbc news. hello there. last week, the weather story was dominated with low cloud, mist and fog. this week, however, there's quite a significant gear change to something a little bit more wintry. certainly turning colder. yes, there's going to be a chance of snow — more on that in just a moment. widespread frosts 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 north—easterly 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 scotland and northern ireland,

with highs of five to eight celsius. so, the wind direction starting to drag down that colder 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. and it's turning noticeably colder on wednesday, temperatures struggling just a few degrees above freezing. factor in the wind, probably feeling more like minus 2 to minus 3 along those exposed north—eastern 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're likely to see some wintry showers, but we could have some wintry showers through the south—west and potentially along that east coast. if the low tracks a little bit further west, there'll be more showers coming in further inland but, again, staying cold.

this is bbc news — the headlines: england will face the reigning champions, france, in the last eight of the football world cup in qatar. the three lions captain, harry kane, scored his first goal of the tournament as the team beat senegal 3—0 their quarter—final kicks off next saturday. ten men are due to go on trial in brussels this week in connection with attacks that killed 32 people in 2016. the bombings at the airport and on the metro were the deadliest attack on belgian soil — since the second world war. ceremonies will be held in australia and south africa later to mark the start of construction on the world's biggest telescope. the square kilometre array

is a network of radio antennas, spread across two continents— which will aim to address some
