in the kitchen, the cost of putting school dinners on plates is rising. we're trying to make the platesl as full as we can so that at least we know that these kids have got one decent meal. _ dinner lady, lorna, is already thinking about the school christmas lunch. are they going to have - a christmas dinner this year? because we don't know what they're facing when they go home. - luckily, we can do it| here and we can give them that experience. we've got crackers coming in, we decorate the tables - and make it reallyjoyful. for pupils too, the cost of living crisis weighs heavy on their minds. when you're cold, you need to get like a jumper on or something instead of turning on the heat and because it'sjust got too expensive. my mum said, like this year, father christmas can't get as much as things like you did last year. we see children coming in and they are worriedl about the cost of living. they are worried about - everything going up in price.

they see the stress that their parents are under. i you see it very much i in outbursts of emotion that theyjust can't put words to. the government says it will invest an additional £2.3 billion per year in schools in england. but many headteachers fear that with prices continuing to rise, it might not be enough. it feels relentless. there will come a point where we think, actually, there's no more we can do, though, until we start to get more support and more funding. croatia had beatenjapan on penalties and they now go to the quarterfinals while they will meet either south korea or brazil. that is the latest from qatar. croatia have beaten japan is the latest from qatar. croatia have beatenjapan to win themselves a place in the quarterfinals.

the latest trailer for prince harry and meghan markle�*s netflix documentary has been released. the company has confirmed harry & meghan, the sussexes�* behind—the—scenes docuseries, will debut this week. here is an excerpt from the new trailer: cheering and applause. and then... everything changed. there is a hierarchy in the family. you know, there is leaking, but there is also planting of stories. there was a war against meghan to suit other. people's agendas. it is about hatred. it's about race. it is a dirty game. our royal correspondent charlotte gallagher is here. it looks like a movie trailer, the music, the dramatic cliffs, the black and white photography, i think it is going to be very bitter, very angry. prince harry seems like he is not going to hold back on what he

thinks about the royal family, the media and possibly britain as a whole. he says that when women marry into the institution of the royal family they are subjected to pain and suffering. he accuses his family or people close to the family planting or leaking stories about him and his wife and he said he feared meghan would suffer a similar fate to his mother. the issue of race was raised as well. we note that only a week ago a race row happened at the palace, were a black british charity boss was asked by somebody where she was from by someone close to the family. it seems like it is going to be one of those programmes that people will watch and. talking about at work. i imagine the royal family is very nervous at this point. will meghan and harry name names? they have always been quite vague. if they do

say that, it could have real implications for the royal family, how they are viewed in the uk, but importantly, around the world. this is a commercial— importantly, around the world. this is a commercial venture for harry and meghan, this deal with netflix. what is it worth to them? reportedly, $100 million is what they got from netflix to do the series, and possibly other projects. they are worth an incredible amount of money. with netflix giving them this amount of money, they wanted headlines, they didn't want a boring behind—the—scenes story of their lot, they wanted things to be out in the open for gossip and things like that. so, what does the royalfamily do at this point? we won't see them doing a behind—the—scenes series like this, but will they say something? possibly. lots of people

are asking if they should keep their titles. will they be at the coronation? after the queen died, prince harry was with his brother and his father and there seem to be and his father and there seem to be a reconciliation. that seems to be gone, it seems to have been pretty brief and the gloves are off. the? brief and the gloves are off. they are indeed- _ brief and the gloves are off. they are indeed. charlotte, _ brief and the gloves are off. they are indeed. charlotte, thank you. surrey police has confirmed it is investigating a report of a burglary at the home of england forward raheem sterling. 0ur reporter tom symonds has been in surrey today. police say that they were called here at 9pm on saturday night. this is their account, that occupants of the property had come home and discovered that jewellery, watches and other items had been stolen. they discovered that after the attempted burglary, or the burglary, there was no threat of violence, the police say and inquiries are ongoing. i have to say, we had early reports from the raheem sterling camp,

from people close to him, that there were people at home and that the people who got into the house were armed. terry roffey is the managing director of brook security, installer and maintainer of security systems, whose clients include celebrities, athletes, politicians, it is obvious why people like raheem sterling, people in the public eye are targeted. how, though, to people who are intent on committing a crime like this, how do they go about working out when to target or how to go about their business? i working out when to target or how to go about their business?— go about their business? i think when peeple — go about their business? i think when people are _ go about their business? i think when people are at _ go about their business? i think when people are at the - go about their business? i think when people are at the top - go about their business? i think when people are at the top of i go about their business? i think. when people are at the top of their game, football is particularly, we know their destination for a fixed period of time, or may be pop stars that are on tour, that information is widely available to the public.

if you and i go on holiday, may be your best friends with nobody would publicise it. these people have no choice, there in the public eye and people know there will be at a certain place at a certain time. it means the properties are empty and vulnerable. ., ., ~ ., vulnerable. from what we know in this particular _ vulnerable. from what we know in this particular case, _ vulnerable. from what we know in this particular case, raheem - this particular case, raheem sterling was in qatar, we don't think his family when the house at the time. ,, . , , ., ., the time. security is one of those thin . s the time. security is one of those things that _ the time. security is one of those things that not _ the time. security is one of those things that not many _ the time. security is one of those things that not many people - the time. security is one of those | things that not many people really consider. maybe at a basic level. people think it won't happen to them, it will be targeted. they are into glossy magazines and you can see their beautiful homes and their possessions and their motor cars. it is almost like an advert for their lifestyle and some would aspire to

be like them and others want to take the things they have got. you be like them and others want to take the things they have got.— the things they have got. you help --eole the things they have got. you help peeple who _ the things they have got. you help peeple who are — the things they have got. you help people who are in _ the things they have got. you help people who are in the _ the things they have got. you help people who are in the public- the things they have got. you help people who are in the public eye, l the things they have got. you help. people who are in the public eye, or people who are in the public eye, or people who are not, people who have valuable properties, to maintain their security systems. what sort of advice to you given what sort of equipment to you gave? the advice beains equipment to you gave? the advice be . ins with equipment to you gave? the advice begins with the _ equipment to you gave? the advice begins with the risk _ equipment to you gave? the advice begins with the risk assessment. i begins with the risk assessment. those kind of people have valuable items, they are at higher risk than the norm. having the right level of security, we talk about layers of security, we talk about layers of security, if the weather turns colder we add more layers of clothing to keep warm, and pc security in the same way. the people are at home we are looking at trying to get an early warning system, so as soon as somebody is entering the grounds of their property we like to give them an alert to say something

is wrong, what is it? whether that is wrong, what is it? whether that is remote monitoring, a surveillance system where people moving around can be seen and the response can be escalated to a company, a man in a van with the dog and the police being notified. trying to extend that away from the house as much as possible, so intruders haven't got as far as the house yet because there are time factors involved with the families at home. if i was at home and have that kind of lifestyle, i would want to have as much advance warning as possible, and may be like a fire drill. so if this happens, this is what we do. if we know there are people moving around the property, i would want to notify the police, have an attack button, knowing that the guardian company is on its way, then retreat to a safe room, a panic room as you may note, and just stay there until the police arrive. so the right level of security, make sure that

items ofjewellery level of security, make sure that items of jewellery and level of security, make sure that items ofjewellery and so on are in the say. it is laying the securities so when they go to bed at night or are not in residence, it is to give them an early warning system. maybe they are at home watching a movie, they are at home watching a movie, they need to know that there was somebody moving around the grounds. thank you very much. thanks so much. russia has reacted defiantly to efforts by western countries to cut its income from oil exports. the kremlin insists it won't make any difference to its ability to wage war in ukraine. the sanctions mean european union countries will no longer import russian oil by sea. cargo and insurance companies from the eu, as well as japan, australia, the uk and us, will not be allowed to handle russian oil, unless its price

is less than 60 dollars a barrel. 0ur correspondentjessica parker spoke to us from kyiv about the oil measures, not long after air raid sirens rang out over the capital. obviously, as you can see, we are in a bunker. we've just had the all clear but there have been sirens going off across the ukraine and reports of missile strikes. to your question, ukrainian officials, the government here, not particularly impressed by this $60 price cap on russian oil. they wanted it to be half that, they said, $30 per barrel. the aim, it seems, by the likes of the g7, is not to stop russia exporting, that could, it's feared, cause an oil price shock if they imposed too low a price cap but the intention is certainly to try and limit the kremlin�*s revenues that they then might use to carry out the war in ukraine. of course, russia can keep exporting to other

countries as well, they won't necessarily sign up to this cap, the likes of china or india. it does potentially give those countries more bargaining power if they can say, europe is trying to wean itself largely off fossilfuels, an eu embargo partially on russian oil is coming into force today, meanwhile, there is this price cap as well. the hope is to squeeze the kremlin�*s revenues to try and hinder its ability to carry out missile strikes and operations on ukrainian territory. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. coder night on the cards. as the night wears on, we will see the northerly wind starting to dominate, breaking the cloud further south. still some showers in southern and eastern areas, still one or two for

northern ireland, but a more widespread frost as we head towards tuesday morning. some ice on the cards and possibly the odd icy patch where there had been recent showers. the day ahead should bring more sunshine for many. fewer showers in southern counties of england. they are drifting into the north of scotland. 0ne are drifting into the north of scotland. one or two for the north of northern ireland, as well. inland, dry weather. more widespread frost as we head into wednesday morning. concerns for wednesday already, a met office yellow warning about for potentially disruptive snow and blizzards in scotland.

today at six — bring on the world champions — gareth southgate says england are ready to take on france after last night's triumph. the decisive victory against senegal has left england fans beginning to dare to dream. can you imagine if england beat france? that message that that's going to send, not only to everybody else at this tournament, but to themselves as individuals, to beat the former world champions, their confidence will go through the roof. we're live in doha as the three lions prepare for their next big challenge. also on the programme:

there's a hierarchy of the family. you know, there's leaking but there's also planting of stories. harry and meghan, the latest trailer for their six part series starting this week. labour's blueprint for government — to transfer power from westminster to the rest of the uk — and abolish the house of lords. gunfire one of the most dangerous places on earth — plagued by gun violence and corruption — a special report from haiti. commentator: close, very close. given! and england's cricketers pull off a stunning victory in the first test against pakistan. on bbc london: as the death of another london school child from invasive strep a is confirmed — parents are urged to be on the "lookout" for symptoms.

good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. england fans are beginning to dare to dream ahead of the world cup quarter—final match against france. the england manager gareth southgate says he's relishing the prospect and it will be the �*acid test�* for the team. following an impressive 3—0 win against senegal last night, england take on the current world champions on saturday night. it was watched by a tv audience of 18 million here. but england may have to do it without raheem sterling who's had to fly home after a burglary at his house in surrey — more on that in a moment — but first let'sjoin natalie pirks who's in doha for us this evening. natalie. it is all looking rather positive right now, isn't it? england are unbeaten in qatar, they have kept clean sheets in the last three games and no team has scored more goals than them so far. england have

played france 31 times but remarkably despite that sporting rivalry they have never faced each other in a knockout match for men's major tournaments, that is until now. commentator: foden takes it up and takes it on and gets it in. - and so does saka! when a canter became a stroll. and it's the young lions at it again! england's third goal brought a collective sigh of relief in the stands at the al bayt stadium, in the pubs back home. it feels good to be an england fan right now. this team is playing with a lot of love, a lot of togetherness, they've got a proper manager who cares. so we can be proud of us. that team can make this country proud, that's what we need. if we could just bring it home. for christmas, like, that would be perfect. when the victorious team arrived back at their hotel last night, they received a rapturous welcome. but that's where the party ended. england know too well

the challenge that lies ahead. well, england may have overcome the african champions with relative ease, but the world champions will be a much sterner test. they may be missing some key players through injury. but already at this tournament they are looking ominously good. one player in particular. commentator: mbappe receives it beautifully. i and curls in a second. france overcame poland 3—1 to set up this epic tie, and kylian mbappe scored his fifth goal in qatar, proving yet again what a frightening talent he is. but england's young stars believe they can more than hold their own. there's only one kylian mbappe, and at the same time there's only one me. you know, ijust want to be myself and help my team in the best way i can. you know, there's a lot of young players in this tournament. i can name so many. i'm just happy that we're all here, we're all doing well and the priority is to try and win the tournament. the strength in depth in this england side is remarkable. last night, harry kane got off

the mark and became england's eighth different goal—scorer at this world cup. commentator: now it's harry kane. hammered home! can you imagine if england beat france? that message that that's going to send, not only to everybody else at this tournament, but to themselves as individuals, they've just beat the former world champions, their confidence is going to go through the roof. in france, they're already confident. ready to eat the lions? it's a match that's certainly mouthwatering. well, knockout football of course brings the threat of penalties and we have already had our first shoot out tonight between japan we have already had our first shoot out tonight betweenjapan and croatia. japan missed three of their penalties which means all marry a pasalic had to do was stay composed and that sent 2018's finalists to the quarterfinals, tears forjapan who are going out at the stage for

the fourth time, and croatia will now face either the five—time winners brazil or south korea who play a little later. natalie in doha, thank you. as we've said raheem sterling wasn't part of yesterday's celebrations instead having to deal with a burglary at his home in surrey. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. raheem sterling doing what he does best before leaving behind england's world cup campaign to put his family first. he signed for chelsea in the summer. it's training ground is in cobham in surrey. stirling has recently moved to a large house on this private estate, a short drive away. this morning there was a visible security presence. surrey police said the family realised there had been a break and after returning from qatar on saturday. in a statement the force of the content police just before 9pm to report a number of items of

jewellery, including watches, had been stolen. initially, sources close to the england forward said that the intruders had been armed and that the family had been at home. but the police said that there was no reported threat of violence and no witnesses had come forward. but understandably, raheem sterling was concerned about the safety of his partner and children who were said to be shaken by what happened. footballers can be particularly vulnerable to burglars who target wealthy people. manchester city'sjoao cancelo had to fight off intruders at his cheshire home. police insist in this case they have found, so far, no evidence of an armed intrusion into the sterlings' home. tom symonds, bbc news, surrey. "no one knows the full truth — we know the full truth." the words of prince harry in a new trailer for his and meghan markle's six—part series which starts on thursday on netflix.

there's a hierarchy of the family. you know, there's leaking but there's also planting of stories. there was a war against meghan to suit other people's agendas. it's about hatred, it's about race. it's a dirty game. the pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy. i realised, they're never going to protect you. i was terrified. i didn't want history to repeat itself. no—one knows the full truth. we know the full truth. let's speak to our correspondent nada tawfik in new york where harry and meghan are due to make a public appearance tomorrow. netflix are taking great care to stoke up interest before this series drops this week, and the trailer doesn't make it look as if it will be particularly flattering to the royal family. yeah, fiona. and i think it is

evident by now that this will continue to be an issue hanging over the royalfamily continue to be an issue hanging over the royal family who continue to be an issue hanging over the royalfamily who must continue to be an issue hanging over the royal family who must now be bracing themselves for the potential fallout. as we saw there, the trailer is set to dramatic music, images and words such as war, hatred, dirty games and suffering. it's clearly a wide commentary, not just on an internal family dispute, but allegedly on deep structural problems within the monarchy. now, we already saw last week in boston that the drop of the first trailer and a race row which echoed the duke of sussex�*s previous comments stole the attention away from the prince and princess of wales's first trip to the united states in eight years. and i think there is really no doubt that as harry and meghan continued to share their feelings, that will continue to make headlines, as the first few episodes loads of the documentary are released, as they accept an award at the robert f kennedy human rights foundation

tomorrow night, and of course, when prince harry's memoir is released in january. prince harry's memoir is released in janua . . . prince harry's memoir is released in janua . ., ., ., ' ~' prince harry's memoir is released in janua . . . ., , ~ ., ~ january. nada tawfik in new york, thank yon — january. nada tawfik in new york, thank yon the — january. nada tawfik in new york, thank you. the government - january. nada tawfik in new york, thank you. the government has i january. nada tawfik in new york, - thank you. the government has backed down on plans to introduce mandatory new housing targets in the face of a rebellion by backbench conservative mps. it had been part of a government bill which would have introduced significant changes to the current planning system. our political correspondentjonathan blake is at westminster for us. jonathan, this is a u—turn forced on the government by its own mps. what more can you tell us? it by its own mps. what more can you tell us? . , ., tell us? it has turned into something _ tell us? it has turned into something of _ tell us? it has turned into something of an - tell us? it has turned into something of an open - tell us? it has turned into - something of an open debate, tell us? it has turned into _ something of an open debate, fiona, within the conservative party about how demic exactly how many new homes need to be built and exactly where those homes should be built. and as you say, good number of conservative mps, around 60, were trying to force a change to the government's legislation on home—building, the levelling up and regeneration bill, which would scrap the centrally set targets for local authorities for the number of new homes that they need to build. the government argues

those were necessary in order to build enough houses, but plenty of conservative mps were not happy, arguing that it weakened the control of local authorities and would lead to too many of the wrong homes being built in the wrong places. in the face of that rebellion, the conservative government has backed down and they have compromised, but in doing so they will make the overall aim of building more houses harder. jonathan blake at westminster, thank you. the labour leader sir keir starmer has promised a huge transfer of power from westminster to the rest of uk if his party wins the next election. he's published a report outlining reforms to the political system, which he claims would help to improve the economy. the house of lords would be abolished and replaced with a smaller, democratically elected second chamber including representatives from the nations and regions. powell would be decentralised away from westminster with new economic powers for english mayors, local authorities and devolved governments. and scotland in particular would be given greater powers —

including the abililty to sign international agreements within devolved areas of policy. sir keir starmer says the proposals could be implemented within five years of a labour government. our political editor, chris mason reports from leeds, where labour unveiled its plans. train message: welcome aboard this azuma to leeds. _ how are we governed, and from where? labour want to convince you that too much power is hoarded in london. sir keir starmer headed to leeds. britain is one of the most centralised systems in europe, and the centre has not delivered. i don't want it to fall apart, i want us to build something new. we are on our fifth prime minister, since this man was in downing street. the ideas labour are exploring have come from a report by gordon brown. we are calling a halt to the over centralisation of power at the i centre that has brought us— conservative sleaze and conservative

| scandal, and we are ending the long| era of the man in whitehall somehow knowing best. what do you say to those who are struggling to pay bills at the moment and who are worried about the strikes coming up, who hear this this morning and just think it's a bit high—minded and academic? whenever any politician sets out an answer to the underlying issue in the medium and long term, every journalist says but _ i want an answer to what's going to happen in the next few weeks, and we _ go on and on. we will go on with this sticking plaster approach forever. we've been doing it for 12 years, it's one of the reasons we haven't got anywhere. at this toddler group, parents appeared open—minded, if a little sceptical about the ideas. i mean, it would be really good. i'm not sure how realistic it is. it would be great to have a bit more representation up north because it is very different to when you go to london. you know, you see the services they have there and you come up here and you try and get the train to sheffield and it take absolutely ages. i see the value of a second chamber, even an unelected second chamber.

yeah, i think there is a place for having experts scrutinising policy. yeah, i'd like to believe it. i think it would be great to bring a bit more - life to these places, notjust london. - ministers claim labour is late to the party. this government has devolved more power out of london than any government before it, we have created regional mayors across england and we are continuing to do that. we have also extended the powers of the welsh government and the scottish government. devolution is something this government is absolutely committed to. let's be honest, when politicians talk about structures of government, how politics works or doesn't, it doesn't exactly set that many hearts racing because what really matters are outcomes rather than processes. labour's bet is you have to change who takes decisions and where they are taken for things to get better, but how much of this with they actually deliver if they won? because they are not committing to

it just yet. because they are not committing to itjust yet. the next up for the labour leaders present and past, edinburgh, to set out their plan to give scotland more powers as an alternative to independence. chris mason, bbc news. leeds. let's stop might talk to our scotland correspondent james shaw who is at holyrood in edinburgh. there is a lot in this document, including more powers for scotland, which labour is obviously hoping will encourage people away from the idea of independence. there are a number of proposals that relate specifically to scotland. the idea they would try to entrench the powers of the scottish parliament to prevent a future uk government from chipping away at the devolution settlement. then the idea that the scottish government would be able to enter into international agreements tojoin international enter into international agreements to join international bodies, although that would not include the eu. the idea of directly elected

mayors and greater borrowing powers. if dimarco and gordon brown this afternoon looked to depict this as a radical and exciting plan —— keir starmer. some people in scotland will think it is quite modest, but what they are trying to do is carve out a path between the snp in favour of independence on one side, the conservatives in favour of things as they are on the other and all that in the run—up to a general election in the run—up to a general election in the run—up to a general election in the next couple of years. in the run-up to a general election in the next couple of years.- in the next couple of years. james shaw in edinburgh, _ in the next couple of years. james shaw in edinburgh, thank- in the next couple of years. james shaw in edinburgh, thank you. - the time is 6:16pm. our top story this evening: bring on the french — england's next world cup opponents provide an "acid test", says gareth southgate. and coming up: it can be coal —— so cruel and then, at the same time, it can be so rewarding. mature beyond his years — we chart the astonishing coming up in sportsday on the bbc news channel:

brazil are back in action, will neymar be fit to start their last 16 tie against south korea? we'll have the very latest from the world cup in qatar. the museum of london is moving home after 45 years. it's one of the most dangerous places on earth — so dangerous that its own government has asked for international help to try to restore order. in haiti, years of dealing with natural disasters and man—made corruption have made the country a by—word for catastrophe. criminal gangs rules the streets and the united nations is warning that haiti is "on the verge of an abyss". human rights groups say armed groups control at least 60% of the capital port—au—prince, and surrounding areas, increasingly using rape as a weapon. in the first six months of the year, the un documented 934 killings in the capital and 680 kidnappings.

most of the victims were not directly involved in gangs. violence has escalated since the assassination of the country's sitting presidentjovenel moise last year — no—one has been put on trial. our senior international correspondent orla guerin sent this report from the haitian capital. i should warn you that it contains some distressing details. this is gang territory in port—au—prince, almost as far as the eye can see. but it seems the world isn't looking. and the haitian capital has become a gangster�*s paradise. it's morning, in a middle—class suburb. minutes after a shoot—out, a show of force by the police. but usually, it's the gangs who call the shots. there are over 100 armed groups in the city, instilling fear and silence. well, police are still

searching the scene here. there's an ak—47 on the ground and some ammunition. there are also drops of blood. now, this is an armoured car. police say they were tracking it for about two weeks. they say it was being used by a kidnap gang. it's about eight in the morning here, and morning and evening rush hours are peak time for the kidnappers. there was a battle with the police officers and the bad guys. one of them died. and we got the vehicle, and this is one of the weapons the bad guys had in their hands. do they have many armoured vehicles, the kidnappers? i don't know, that happens. i'm sure that happens. nearby, the body of an alleged gang member. the police told us, "we stopped them today." across town, francois saint clair has just been patched up

at a trauma hospital run by doctors without borders. he saw gunmen holding up two cars in front of his. when he tried to get away, he got a bullet in the arm. have you ever thought that the violence is so bad here that you would like to leave haiti? "10,000 times," he tells me. "i can't even call my mum to tell her what happened to me, because she's getting older. in the end, the way things are, it's better to leave if you can." claudette is another recent victim of the gangs. she was hit by a stray bullet and lost her leg. "i don't know how i'll manage," she says. "i can't run and walk

the way i used to." she worries she will never marry now. rapid gunfire gang warfare often erupts here in broad daylight. why not? gunshots gunmen are in league with corrupt politicians and have some police on the payroll. that's according to human rights campaigners, who say the gangs of port—au—prince have no limits. there are many here with stories that are harrowing to tell and to hear. like this man. his neighbourhood is controlled by a gang whose rivals came on a killing spree. for his safety, we are not naming the area, or the armed group involved. translation: i was in the house |

and i was so scared, i was shaking. i didn't know what to do. they mostly kill young men. my wife took me and hid me under the bed and covered me with piles of clothes. and my nephew was hiding in the wardrobe. soon, the gunmen were in his house. when his nephew ran from his hiding place, they chased him and killed him. what hurts me the most is that when i was under the bed, i couldn't see, but i could hear the men raping my wife. they were raping her, and i was under the bed and i could say nothing. he sobs "there are things you would never wish on anyone," he says.

his wife is now pregnant and they don't know if he is the father. he tells us haiti has been erased from their hearts. some police here are risking their lives trying to make the streets safe, but others have actually formed their own gang. and haiti's weak and tainted government is accused of looking the other way, as the crisis deepens. to give you a sense of how bad things are, how pervasive the gangs are, in three directions from here, there are gang controlled neighbourhoods. they are some distance away. ten minutes drive in the downtown area,

james anderson, still going at a0. pakistan were nine down. but now, the tension for both sides was time. that sun was setting. only minutes remaining. and jack leach was bowling. commentator: very close. very close, given! 268 all out. in a match, on a pitch of record run scoring, england conjured the wickets to win. finally back in a great cricket country, they produced a spectacle. and so, the sport triumphs, too. joe wilson, bbc news. let's return to the world cup, and one of the outstanding players for england in the tournament so far has beenjude bellingham. just 19, his performances in midfield have been a cornerstone of the three lions�* impressive results. not bad for a lad who, just three years ago, had signed a two—year scholarship with birmingham city. laura scott looks at his remarkable rise to the world stage. a teenage talent tipped to be the best midfielder in the world. jude bellingham put

on another dazzling display at the world cup last night. this move to set up jordan henderson, for england's opening goal, earned him yet more plaudits. really smart ball. shut your... erm, i've said it many a time, you know, he's a one—off, and we need to let him enjoy playing football. he's only 19. 3,000 miles away from qatar, fans in stourbridge, in the west midlands, are basking in the reflected glory of their local lad. he's a great player. i can't wait to see - him in future rounds. we're over the moon. we love him. we love him to bits. i think he's been incredible. especially yesterday, he was instrumental in the game, and just phenomenal. really proud to say that he's from stourbridge as well, it's really nice. it was at nearby birmingham city that bellingham really broke through, coming up through the club's academy, before joining their senior ranks at 16 — becoming their youngest player and youngest goal—scorer.

and for one coach who played a key role in his development, the youngster�*s attitude set him apart. so what he did do consistently for probably three or four years was really challenge me to make sure every conversation i had with him, every training session i had with him, every interaction i had with him was planned, it was thought out. because that's what top players do, they demand from themselves, but they also demand from people around you. it was a sign ofjust how highly birmingham city rated jude bellingham that on his departure from the club at the age ofjust 17, they retired his number 22 shirt — an honour typically reserved for players at the end of their careers, not those at the very start. injuly 2020, bellingham made the move to germany to sign for borussia dortmund, gaining his first england cap a few months later. he became the youngest player to play at the euros in 2021, before scoring his first goal for england in their opening world cup game against iran. it's been a meteoric rise,

but what attributes make him so unique? his all—round ability, his speed, his dynamism, the way that he anticipates situations, his intelligence, it's very hard to find any flaws. a young leader within the three lions, bellingham has been breathtaking and record—breaking. .. what a moment... ..proving he's a star notjust of the future, but the now. laura scott, bbc news, birmingham. time for a look at the weather. looking chilly. it is, and it will get colder. it is going to be much colder later this week. let's talk snow because it features in the forecast. will you see any where you live? in the northern half of scotland, more likely than not, you will. that will mount up during the second of the week. sleet and snow showers around the fringes of the east and west of the country. for the majority of the population, the chance of any snow through the rest
