have not kicked off. the portugal captain, cristiano ronaldo, has been dropped. thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. it has been cold enough already but it will be colder for the rest of the week and with the colder we have widespread frost on the way the risk of some ice, particularly where we have these wintry showers. we are getting a northerly wind our way and that will bring all that colder air across the uk and because it is a northerly wind it will be northern scotland in the firing line in terms of snowfall, could be ten centimetres over higher parts. but there is a risk of some ice and snow in other areas, mainly inland england likely to be dry but still cold point the temperatures are dropping, snowballing in northern scotland, a few wintry showers running through the irish sea and clipping at the north sea coasts and heading towards east anglia pandit widespread frost tonight, temperatures as low as —3 or “4. maybe not as cold in east anglia and

the south—east of england, a bit more cloud which will take a while to break up tomorrow. otherwise, a good deal of sunshine come a lot of places dry and showers in northern ireland. most rundown the north sea and into norfolk and suffolk and more snow in northern scotland. not a particularly windy, the strongest winds in those wintry showers in northern scotland and down the north sea coast which is where it will feel particularly cold. temperatures lower than today around 3—5. feel particularly cold. temperatures lower than today around 3—5 . and heading into wednesday night, thursday morning, a widespread frost again, colderacross again, colder across the south—eastern areas with the clear skies put it more snow continuing to fall in northern scotland, icy conditions here and it could be icy for a while in northern ireland and western england and wales where there is the possibility of a mixture of rain, sleet and snow but otherwise more wintry showers brushing the north sea coasts and look at that, temperatures even lower on thursday, only around two or three degrees.

thanks, darren. and that's bbc news at six on tuesday 6th december. it's time tojoin it's time to join our news team is where you are, goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. our headlines this evening. a madrid—born moroccan sends his country through to their first world cup quafter final... world cup quafter final by beating spain... available, fit, but not picked. an extreme rarity for portugal, who drop ronaldo for their last 16 match against switzerland. and it's notjust kylian mbappe's france that have a record scorer in their ranks. we hear from the other forward england have to try and stop in their quarterfinal.

in watch they have quality and quantity and it will be amazing to watch. sacked with nine months to go until the rugby world cup. eddiejones is out as england head coach. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. hello again. later we'll be speaking to a world cup winner about why eddiejones might have standing in the way of england doing that again next year but talking of winning world cups there are now nine teams who can still do that in qatar. and one of them extraordinarily is morocco. they've reached the quarter finals with a penalty shoot out win over spain. and the last 16 stage which had very much been sticking to the form book has sprung its surprise.

after a goalless. .. and cagey... 120 minutes... spain crumbled in the penalty shoot—out. they missed all three of the spot kicks they took... pablo sarabia hit the post... then carlos soler. .. and sergio busquets... the only survivor from their 2010 winning squad... had their efforts saved by the moroccan keeper bono. then it fell to achraf hakimi... a defender born in madrid... to score his side's fourth penalty... and send them through to the last 8 for the first time 3—0 in the shoot—out. in a tournament that represented a landmark for the arab world morocco�*s win is extremely significant... but they're also an african nation with a chance to go further than any other. bbc africa's celestine karoney is in qatar. celestine this will be considered a victory for more than just morocco. this is a victory for morocco that will be celebrated on a much wider scale. �* , ,., , will be celebrated on a much wider scale. �* , , , will be celebrated on a much wider scale. absolutely this is a victory that will be _ scale. absolutely this is a victory that will be celebrated _ scale. absolutely this is a victory that will be celebrated in - scale. absolutely this is a victory that will be celebrated in africa | scale. absolutely this is a victory. that will be celebrated in africa as well as a whole, as a continent. in

a continent where so many breathes and lived in the beautiful game, where the beautiful game often offers an escape for many people from their day—to—day problems. historical moments like this, they live for. tonight in africa i have a lot of messages on my whatsapp. yes, yes, yes africa have done it. and they have become the fourth african country to reach their quarterfinal at a few for a cup that means the stand is a chance to try and break the glass ceiling for the continent by becoming the first team to reach the semifinals. from what we have seen from this steam so far and i have the belief that africa may be able to get 18 into the semifinals. we should also ask you about the atmosphere generated by the morocco fans because it meant for spain, it was an incredibly difficult evening even before the game had started.

absolutely. moroccan fans have made every moroccan game feel like a home match for their team. from the first game against and i was in the stadium sitting among a group of fans who told me they had just arrived at the airport about an hour or two before and had come directly to the match. we had met so many others that are painting the city read. they have turned up for their team and have said football is their blood. that is what one of them told us yesterday and that they are here for the team. you have to remember that because morocco is the only team left from the arab world saw a lot of qatar is, saudi arabia fans, tunisian fans havejoined in lot of qatar is, saudi arabia fans, tunisian fans have joined in and lot of qatar is, saudi arabia fans, tunisian fans havejoined in and out are moroccan fans. so marking games are moroccan fans. so marking games are like a home match for the d atlas lions. are like a home match for the d atlas lione— are like a home match for the d atlas mona-— are like a home match for the d atlas lions-— are like a home match for the d atlas lions. ., ~ i. . ., atlas lions. thank you so much for “oininu us atlas lions. thank you so much for joining usjust _ atlas lions. thank you so much for

portuguese. it is as you would expect at the back. 193 caps, 118 games for 118 goals for cristiano ronaldo but at the age of 37, he could be watching his last world cup match in portuguese colours from the bench. tinto said it was strategic the habit of looking at doing this for a couple of days and had made his mind up as soon as ronaldo had stormed off after he was substituted in the match against south korea. but he said ronaldo could have a part to play from the bench against the swiss. suddenly i think, the pendulum swings towards the swiss because clearly, that will upset the portuguese to see their talisman on the bench. many of those players will want him on the bench and many not getting —— pitch trying to get the portuguese through since the first time since 2006. fix,

get past the swiss, it is the moroccans. but the moroccans, they should be feared as well. just before let _ should be feared as well. just before let you _ should be feared as well. just before let you go _ should be feared as well. just before let you go i _ should be feared as well. just before let you go i will let you in to a behind—the—scenes conversation that we have been having in the newsroom about whether we should talk about the whole of the half of the draw opening up as there's a certain team called a limit that to and one must speculate that, should i ask you about it or is that also a cardinal sin i ask you about it or is that also a cardinalsin and i ask you about it or is that also a cardinal sin and perhaps we should let you go and not think about that going england's way. we let you go and not think about that going england's way.— going england's way. we have netherlands and _ going england's way. we have netherlands and argentina - going england's way. we have netherlands and argentina up| going england's way. we have i netherlands and argentina up at going england's way. we have - netherlands and argentina up at the top, croatia and brazil, that is heading for eight brazil argentina semifinal, you might have thought, remember this is a world cup of sharks, rememberwhat remember this is a world cup of sharks, remember what morocco had done, morocco bleeding for the winter of this one between portugal and switzerland but, come on we cannot look past the french on saturday for england. should england

to get past france and then it will be morocco or portugal or the swiss. have i got that right, i think we just buy got the right. but if qatar has taught us anything, you should not have asked that question because we are always getting upset, let's rewind for hours when i told you there's no way cristiano ronaldo will be on the bench. that there's no way cristiano ronaldo will be on the bench.— there's no way cristiano ronaldo will be on the bench. that was her punishment _ will be on the bench. that was her punishment for _ will be on the bench. that was her punishment for saying _ will be on the bench. that was her punishment for saying that - will be on the bench. that was her punishment for saying that having | will be on the bench. that was her i punishment for saying that having to answer the question. thank you very much indeed. that quarterfinal... even though it's the last to be decided won't be the last one to take place. that's england's match against france on saturday night. time enough for gareth southgate's side to prepare for the defending champions' fearsome attack. and it's notjust kylian mbappe who didn't train with the french squad today by the way. instead doing some recovery work on his own, but also their new record scorer, olivier giroud. the former arsenal and chelsea striker has been speaking to the media today in qatar partly about his admiration for his star team—mate.

kylian is basically one of the best players i have played with. and he is amazing and still young which means he can still improve his game. he is very efficient. from the beginning of the competition he has been crucial for us, beginning of the competition he has been crucialfor us, very beginning of the competition he has been crucial for us, very decisive, competitive. we have not seen, we have still not seen the best of him i hope we will soon. and i know that, you know also. so you, yeah, that's it he's unbelievable for england so far they are the good tournament, i hope they

will have a tough game on saturday and i know very well the steam and we say to each other, we were talking —— team regarding this game and said, do not want to lose against england. we are looking forward for this game, so many great players, younger generation. i can say, i think, players, younger generation. i can say, ithink, they players, younger generation. i can say, i think, they have quality but quantity also on the squad so they had different options. it will be a nice game to watch, i think interesting, i hope it will go well for us.

it happened after yesterday's's game between brazil and south korea. alisa between brazil and south korea. also somebody he — between brazil and south korea. also somebody he said i would like to apologise... while football's world cup now has nine matches left. the rugby version is nowjust nine month away and england don't have a head coach. eddiejones has been sacked after seven years in charge after their worst 12 months since 2008. patrick gearey has more. the end of the autumn, the end of the road, england's defeat to south africa, the last match of eddiejones's difficult career. a repeat of the last world cup final but for the head coach it really was final.

england first turned to eddiejones, an aussie that reinvigorated a rugby nation. you'll make this opportunity was a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity i take it. immediately could see the energy, in his first six nations england won every match. grand slam, great start! their winning streak lasted 18 games. that momentum couldn't be maintained but england still managed to beat the all blacks semifinals of last world cup. but they lost that final against south africa are neverfound the same momentum. he has tried different players and different approaches but in each of the last 2 six nations, england have only won two matches. i think the

moment you start losing the faith in the fans, it becomes very difficult and i think that eddie said it we are in right now. i think he said that this would be a watershed subseries. now they have removed jones, those running the sport must make decisions quickly. the six nations starts and in six months england will begin another world cup. the favourite to succeed eddiejones is someone who had been his long—serving deputy at both england and japan. steve borthwick is a former england captain and led leicester to the premiership title last season. he had a club media session planned for today that was notably postponed until friday after the news came through aboutjones. will greenwood won the world cup with england in 2003. he tell me why you can understand the arc you made the decision to sackjones. the arc you made the decision to sackjones— sack jones. the reality is for six nations. a _

29th he broke up with a reach the final. so i guess that there is still in argument to say potentially, this might not have gone that it did today. but potentially, this might not have gone that it did today.— potentially, this might not have gone that it did today. but he was ri . ht we gone that it did today. but he was right we never— gone that it did today. but he was right we never know _ gone that it did today. but he was right we never know it _ gone that it did today. but he was right we never know it does not i right we never know it does not assign you can always feel coming following him in thejob assign you can always feel coming following him in the job and assign you can always feel coming following him in thejob and out it is very frustrating, it is what his supporters frustration will be in thatis supporters frustration will be in that is he is a world cup specialist and a year out, we have removed his ability to show what he was planning for and how he was going to deliver on that success. you are absolutely right. to bring up the success rate of any england coach, times have changed a gap has closed which other coaches have struggled with, and isolation 71% success rate, 18 wins. five aggregate score in australia against australia. there are so many things that eddiejones supporters

can say. what have you done this for, and justice he is getting into his peak performance mode which is world cup, i think at the end rfu lost patience in the set of performances that they could not feel could be turned into eventual glory in france next year. the? glory in france next year. they must've felt — glory in france next year. they must've felt that _ glory in france next year. they must've felt that strongly - glory in france next year. they must've felt that strongly because there are nine months to go into the world cup, when you are a governing body you spend all of your time planning. years in advance for these big events, now they have a new coach coming in with nine months ago thatis coach coming in with nine months ago that is not optimum position to be in. if that is not optimum position to be in. , ., that is not optimum position to be in. i. that is not optimum position to be in. if you look at the world cup draw, it in. if you look at the world cup draw. it is _ in. if you look at the world cup draw. it is a — in. if you look at the world cup draw, it is a really _ in. if you look at the world cup draw, it is a really tasty - in. if you look at the world cup j draw, it is a really tasty draw. i would with argentina and japan, i know argentina has beaten us but with a top ranking on that side of the draw, the top four teams you think about djokovic, murray, and

the doll they are all over on the other side so my optimism and for 22 and three no matter what has been taken place which is why i think everyone can consider and on the back of eddiejones's performances that he would get them to a semifinal. it isjust that he would get them to a semifinal. it is just these recent results that put an end to that. i it was very confident that england can make a semifinal and as you say 2019, since 1987 and you think about games like new zealand against france i took and i'm at 1999 which was all over and then strange things happen in semifinals. so i'm still full of confidence, i have never practised to win in 2023 but i back us to be there. he practised to win in 2023 but i back us to be there.— us to be there. he said earlier on do not look _ us to be there. he said earlier on do not look too far _ us to be there. he said earlier on do not look too far ahead - us to be there. he said earlier on do not look too far ahead in - do not look too far ahead in the world cup draw earlier on. let's have a look at some of the other

headlines this evening. wasps and worcester warriors have both had their appeals against relegation from the premiership dismissed by the rfu. who say that they whole book clubs responsible for the recent financial collapses citing the pandemic as the primary reason of the club's cash crisis. former formula 1 driver romain grosjean will return to racing in europe next year with lamborghini in sports car racing. the frenchman has competed in america's indycar series since escaping from a huge fire following a crash at the 2020 bahrain grand prix. germany technical director oliver bierhoff has had his contract terminated after his country's early exit at the 2022 world cup. he has been with the german fa since 200a but has left after they failed to make it out of the group.

my translation: my name is eigon oliver. - i'm 30 years old. i live in the sao paulo, brazil. and i am a neymar. everywhere i go, "neymar, neymar, neymar, picture!" everyone asks for photos all the time. as soon as i leave the hotel, "photo, photo, photo!" at the stadium, "photo, photo!" how long have you been, i want to say pretending to be neymar, but looked like neymar? translation: nine years ago, - santos sao paulo was neymar's team. and at the beginning i was already considered his lookalike. i worked as a waiter and the supporters would say, "you look like neymar. "you look like neymar. "take a photo with me." and i became a professional. my tattoos are the same as neymar's. mine is a tiger. neymar's a lion. love, the same. legs and neck are like neymar's too. this one is the same. this one too, and all the accessories similar to neymar's.

has there ever been a footballer that has been fooled by you? i have lots of football players that follow me on social media. recently, at the lusail stadium i was recording content and people thought i was neymar. what happened was players like anthony, gabrieljesus and others were looking up and maybe thinking, "is that neymar there?" if you watch the game last night you would _ if you watch the game last night you would know that neymar has now typed his hair— would know that neymar has now typed his hair blonde and that's probably why hes— his hair blonde and that's probably why he's wearing a hat for that interview _ and just a reminder that portugal and switzerland are about to kick off in qatar to decide the last place in the quarterfinals. such a rare thing for the portugal towels meant to not be chosen when the fit and santos insisting that his decision was strategic but

coming after the back of ronaldo showing displeasure against that south korea game. so the winner of this game will play morocco after they shock spain on penalties you could find much more about that on the bbc sport website. you can also follow portugal against switzerland by the website and indeed by bbc sounds or the radio. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. think you ever so much for your company that is sports day on another shocking day in qatar. thank you for your company bye for now. hello. temperatures have been falling quite quickly once the sun set earlier on today and the next few days, in fact, are going to be turning significantly colder.

we've got some snow showers, some icy stretches for some of us and everywhere is going to be seeing some pretty sharp frosts over the next couple of nights. so why is that? it's because our air mass is coming from the arctic, streaming down these northerly winds right across the uk. you can see the blue colours firmly right across the map. across northern scotland there could be two to ten centimetres of snow. the rest of this week, a chance of a few snow flurries for parts of eastern england, southern scotland, northern ireland, perhaps into wales and the south—west. a lower chance of seeing anything wintry elsewhere, but still some detail to be pinned down through the week ahead. we've got more snow showers across northern and eastern scotland overnight, even down to low levels. a few rain showers around the east coast of england too, but it is going to be a cold night. lowest temperatures for central and southern scotland, northern ireland into wales and northwest england, as well. should be just about above freezing in the south—east, but a cold start to wednesday wherever you are. through the day, plenty of blue sky and sunshine. still those rain showers for east anglia and around the east coast of england, as well. could be a little bit wintry for the north york moors, for instance.

more snow showers for the north and east of scotland, so snow amounts starting to total up. three to six degrees, our top temperatures, but feeling colder than that when you add on the wind chill. particularly for the likes of aberdeen and newcastle, it'll feel around minus two degrees. overnight on wednesday, some more persistent snow for a time across scotland, some sleetiness moving in across northern ireland overnight too. it's going to be a cold, wintry start to thursday morning right across the board, a sub—zero morning, so a really sharp frost. do watch out for icy stretches around as well, particularly where you've got any of the rain or snow showers falling onto freezing ground. thursday, then, more snow showers for northern and eastern scotland and icy stretches. we could see some ice and some snow flurries around the east coast of england, perhaps around some of these irish sea coasts, as well. elsewhere, you're more likely to be staying dry and clear, certainly cold — around two to six degrees for most of us, but cooler where you're exposed to that northerly breeze, especially in the east. a very similar day on friday. northerly wind bringing us that cold, crisp winter air, a sharp frost.

wintry flurries for northern and eastern scotland, eastern england and around some of these irish coasts once again. top temperatures only around about two to six degrees. bye— bye.
