and it was heartbreak for the other asian team left in the tournament as japan lost in a dramatic penalty shoot—out to croatia. let's get the latest from nesta mcgregor in doha. well, as you can see, following the full—time whistle, fans are streaming out of the stadium. naturally, the brazilian fans are a lot happier than their south korean fans after a convincing 4—1 victory. all goals from brazil coming in this first half, south korea bravely battled and if there is a consolation, they won the second half 1—0. it does mean there are no more countries from the asian continent left in the tournament. that is because earlier japan lost their last 16 match against croatia. it was 1—1 after extra time, the first penalty shoot—out of this tournament and japan lost it 3—1. it is worth saying, the japanese team and the fans have been a credit to the world cup, they will be missed. we can remember those images of the japanese fans cleaning the stadium after matches and the team left the dressing rooms spotless on several occasions.

some parts of last year and the year before arejust, like, whoo! i was just on a downward spiral impostor syndrome. 15 was when people decided that that was who i was, so it's really hard to change and grow and mature and, like, become a human, when people decided that you are one thing. it absolutely drives me insane that you can look up billie eilish and videos that come up i said when i was 15. almost nothing i said before two months ago i still believe! a young artist who's still finding her own identity with each new album and magazine profile. one thing you did say, though, was when you think about your identity you like sort of amalgamating masculine and feminine. do you think about yourself like that still, in terms of your identity? yeah, ifeel the most powerful when i feel masculine. what you mean by masculine? i don't know.

12:27 am
daytime temperatures for a few barely getting above freezing later this week and the frost by night will be fairly widespread and quite sharp, too. the frost to start tuesday a bit more hit and miss. there will be a few wintry flurries in northern scotland which will turn to sleet and snow throughout the day, a fair bit of cloud at times, cloud across southern areas should break up a bit more although we will see showers in the channel islands, temperatures around five to 8 degrees, starting to drop lower than expected at this time of year. tuesday night into wednesday, the showers come around the edges but northern scotland will start to see snowfall at lower levels, the breeze keeping temperatures up in stornoway but a more widespread frost to take us into wednesday morning, exception being some eastern counties of england. more cloud and a few showers, mainly rain, by the northerly wind around an area of high pressure in greenland means the showers in northern scotland will turn increasingly to snow. a few wintry flurries possible along the sea districts in eastern
12:28 am
in england and rain showers in the west, and northern ireland there will be sleet at times. the vast majority will have a dry day on wednesday, with crisp, winter sunshine. it will feel like this in the breeze, for many feeling sub zero. a search of colder and outcomes through the night wednesday into thursday, it will bring cloud southwards, not expecting too much but there is some around the edges once again and what does fall from the sky will be merely a mixture of sleet, hail, or rain. it is going to feel cold out there with that added wind chill. as we go through into friday, a change in wind direction means some eastern counties have less of a chance of showers, perhaps more showers into the west but many will be dry, sunny, and once again, pretty cold. take care.
