in leicester with the same name, who supports. england. that evening to you both thanks for coming on. a lot to get there. we'll start the front page of the daily mail. why don't you talk us through this first. what is going on here? well, i think it's the point that it's beginning to look more like a general strike than it is christmas. we've talked many months now but the winter of discontent and it feels like it's well and truly under way. i think you would really struggle not to find a date in december when there isn't some industrial action taking place somewhere in the country. of course, we have gods rail workers striking, nurse says, paramedics, postal worker is, and now is the daily mail has flashed

the uk borderfor us workers, and we don't... they are quite a few number at the moment, we don't know the full extent of the disruption. we don't know that it will be happening at major airports, including heathrow and gatwick for four days in december and we can be reasonably confident that it is going to cause significant disruption for people travelling in and out of the uk and after two years of significant disruption to the aviation industry, not to mention all of our travel plans, this really will feel like the last thing we need. we've talked previously about this tipping point in public opinion towards strikes and i would say that the british public generally has been quite sympathetic toward striking workers. they are aware that we have had serious economic issues. the coronavirus pandemic, the were in ukraine, this has led to rising

prices, exacerbated the cost of living. the value of people's pay packets has gone down, and unions are now demanding higher pay, understandably so. they are trying to get the best deal for their workers. as some of these paid demands are rarely inflation busting into quite unrealistic, and as people stretch of it they feel the impact of the strike action, i wonder if the public will begin to turn against him.— wonder if the public will begin to turn against him. sony, what do you make of that. _ turn against him. sony, what do you make of that, claims _ turn against him. sony, what do you make of that, claims for _ turn against him. sony, what do you make of that, claims for the - turn against him. sony, what do you make of that, claims for the tipping | make of that, claims for the tipping complaints in annabelle's in public support here. i complaints in annabelle's in public support here-— support here. i think you've got to set two things _ support here. i think you've got to set two things against _ support here. i think you've got to set two things against each - support here. i think you've got to set two things against each other, for to file is the demands and the reasons why workers are striking, a lot of differences between the industry, so, for example, in rail it's partly about real terms pay cuts, but also it's about modernisation of the railway, and you can see why union members are striking because there's no offer

for their members in terms of retraining, what otherjobs they might be able to do, and you would be looking at people leaving the work for us potentially, and we know that that can have a really damaging long—term consequences. when you look at nursing, nurses have had really significant real terms pay cuts since 2010. they are now quite significantly below where they were in 2010. so the nursing profession is trying to make up some of that lost ground, notjust because it makes it harder for nurses who work so hard during the pandemic to make ends meet, but because low—paying means that there is a real recruitment crisis in nursing, which in turn leads existing nurses to be more burned out and need —— leave the profession. so their argument is this isn'tjust about us and our own individual pay, it's about ensuring that it's a safety net service. and that it's a safety net service. and thatis that it's a safety net service. and that is one of the reasons why the public has been so sympathetic. i think there is a big question about politically who is going to get the blame for the strikes? would be

striking workers for the government? and, you know, it is hard to predict, because this is going to cause much more disruption for people than we have seen today, but i think currently a lot of sympathy with workers and a lot of questions for the government about why they are into negotiating more.- for the government about why they are into negotiating more. moving to the front page _ are into negotiating more. moving to the front page of _ are into negotiating more. moving to the front page of the _ are into negotiating more. moving to the front page of the guardian. - are into negotiating more. moving to the front page of the guardian. this. the front page of the guardian. this broke this evening, their front page. michael goes there referred to it ignoring climate warnings to approves first call mine in 30 years. this has raised some eyebrows, to say the least. yes, it has, eyebrows, to say the least. yes, it has. particularly — eyebrows, to say the least. yes, it has, particularly among _ has, particularly among environmentalists. , environmentalists. there will be ob'ections environmentalists. there will be objections from _ environmentalists. there will be objections from conservative - objections from conservative backbenchers, there have property been _ backbenchers, there have property been objections from one tory x minister. — been objections from one tory x minister, but i think broadly speaking _ minister, but i think broadly speaking that this is something that we ought _ speaking that this is something that we ought to be welcoming, the mind will produce cooking call for blast furnaces — will produce cooking call for blast furnaces of the european steel

at insulating people's homes, it's been absolutely crazy, the government has pulled funding for that in recent years, even though it creates jobs commitments people have to spend less on the energy bills and that really can come back to bite us. that is the way we should be creating jobs, not to building a new call mine, which, to me, it sounds like it's government papering over by trying to claim that this is carbon neutral. it is a dirty source of energy. it's not clear what this call will be used for. it is feel makers don't use coal any more because it's too dirty. europeans have moved away from it. a physical move in the wrong direction given this huge climate crisis that we are all facing stop thank you for that. to the front page of the metro now, just briefly, they have gone with the story out of germany, just briefly on this, it is an extraordinary story. it is extraordinary. _ extraordinary story. it is extraordinary. 35 - extraordinary story. it isj extraordinary. 35 people extraordinary story. it is extraordinary. 35 people who have been _ extraordinary. 35 people who have

to ask them player forests, and their employer has to give it due consideration. it doesn't mean that it always has to be granted. so that is very important. and it's notjust about home working, although that could be part of flexible working. it's also, for example, if you have parents or people with caring responsibilities because it will their relatives in the family that they are looking after, it's arrangements like, for example, going part—time or working a five day week compressed into four days i think it's important. i also think james tyson is a total uncountable voice and what thank you improves productivity. exodus going to cost the economy billions of pounds. it's a huge impact on our gdp because its depressed britain's experts and it's one of the reasons why they've got such terrible growth forecast compared to the rest of the g7 in the coming years. if you look at countries that have recovered or have started to recover from the pandemic through export led growth, britain's experts are down because of brexit, that does much bigger

impact in this could boost britain because my productivity. i'm afraid dysonis because my productivity. i'm afraid dyson is just not a very credible voice on this topic 0k. and about to take us through the front page of the daily express, something that rare the daily express, something that we will be getting a lot of coverage on the weather people like it or not tomorrow. stop this betrayal of our beloved clean. can you explain the headline to us.— headline to us. sure, and you are absolutely _ headline to us. sure, and you are absolutely right _ headline to us. sure, and you are absolutely right to _ headline to us. sure, and you are absolutely right to say, _ headline to us. sure, and you are absolutely right to say, whether. headline to us. sure, and you are l absolutely right to say, whether we like it _ absolutely right to say, whether we like it or _ absolutely right to say, whether we like it or not, we are going to be exposed — like it or not, we are going to be exposed to— like it or not, we are going to be exposed to this, often carry and megan — exposed to this, often carry and megan talk about the ways in which they feel— megan talk about the ways in which they feel pestered, bombarded by the british— they feel pestered, bombarded by the british media, and the british public, — british media, and the british public, but in fact, i think it's the other— public, but in fact, i think it's the other way around with their eagerness to share their truth, but this is— eagerness to share their truth, but this is the — eagerness to share their truth, but this is the story that rail sources have _ this is the story that rail sources have said — this is the story that rail sources have said that the couple had failed to honour— have said that the couple had failed to honour an agreement that they need _ to honour an agreement that they need with— to honour an agreement that they need with the late monarch to ensure that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of her majesty _ continue to uphold the values of her majesty. you know, those values some of the _ majesty. you know, those values some of the dedication that she showed

there are a lot of people who have a growing sense of discomfort around all of this. there is clearly a massive drift in the royal family. harry and megan say they have been badly treated, you know, by the royal family. badly treated, you know, by the royalfamily. i'm sure badly treated, you know, by the royal family. i'm sure there are people in the royalfamily royal family. i'm sure there are people in the royal family who would say that they have not behaved or always behaved very well in the way that they should, they are always two sides to every story with a family rift, but normally it's not played out in public like this. and i think that's why a lot of people look at this and feel a sense of discomfort there are a lot of people who would wish them well and say you get on them, they decided it's not for them, get on them, they decided it's not forthem, going get on them, they decided it's not for them, going up to live their lives in the united states, but i think keeping on reheating this conflict in a public way, yeah, i think it is making a lot of people feel quite uncomfortable. moving on, we've not feel quite uncomfortable. moving on, we've got to — feel quite uncomfortable. moving on, we've got to our _ feel quite uncomfortable. moving on, we've got to our last _ feel quite uncomfortable. moving on, we've got to our last story, _ feel quite uncomfortable. moving on, we've got to our last story, to - feel quite uncomfortable. moving on, we've got to our last story, to the - we've got to our last story, to the front page of the sun, it's about football, if you are not really into

talismanic forward kylian mbappe. he's the tournament's leading scorer. and the man who's likely to have to keep him in check for england is manchester city's kyle walker. and he says he's ready for the challenge. 0ur sports editor dan roan reports from qatar. he receives that beautifully! is one of world's most fearsome forwards with five goals so far here in qatar, he's managed to elevate his sporting superstar status. the 23—year—old spearheading france's bed to be the first team to retain the world cup since brazil 60 years ago. kylian mbappe is basically one of the best players i play with. and he is amazing, and he's still young. which is scary because he can still improve his game. five years ago, a teenager, kylian mbappejoined paris st germain in a staggering

deal with £166 million. he's paid a reported £1.2 million each week and has scored 190 goals and 236 appearances for the french club. now kylian mbappe with a shooting chance! don't forget, he is already a world cup winner, four years ago, becoming the first teenager to score in the final since brazil legend, pele. england today stepped up their preparations ahead of this titanic clash against france at the weekend. if they are to prevail, they will have to somehow find a way to stop kylian mbappe, but they believe they have got just the man to do so. manchester city defender kyle walker is renowned for his speed, and today, he vowed not to be overruled by the challenge. the game is not england versus kylian mbappe, the game is england versus france, we take respect that he's a good player in good form at the minute, but i'm not going to roll out a red carpet for him in terms of him going to score. i'm representing my country at the quarterfinal in the world cup, it is do or die,

if we lose, we got home, and he's not going to stand in my way and hopefully winning a world cup for my country. england have looked like genuine contenders here, but for the first time this tournament, they go into a game as underdogs. your thoughts on this current england team, are you surprised by how they have played here? we don't want to lose against england, but especially for us, we are looking forward to this game. they have so many great players, a young generation. they have quality and quantity also in the squad. he isjust become france's leading men's goal—scorer, but it is his younger team—mate who is set to break all records. the threat they pose england is a daunting one. dan roan, bbc news. northern ireland has turned back to the only manager who has provided them with tournament football and a generation, my colonial targeting a place at euro 2024. it was 0'neill who took them to the tournament six years ago and he has agreed to a terms and manage his country for a second time. in his first stand, o'neill

and charge forjust over nine years before he left in 2018 to concentrate on managing stroke. he told the media that he believed he was now a better manager and could replicate his previous successes with the national side. i wouldn't be here if i didn't believe it was possible. like anything, it was exciting, of course, there is apprehension about it, that is a good thing, to have that nervousness about the situation as well. but, you know, when you go through campaigns, you know what what is required. players know what is required, but the ultimate thing is to give us a chance, the togetherness you need with a group of players community are top players available, and this is a ten game campaign that we will go into. we will have to hit the ground running straightaway, but i believe there is a real focus on the senior group of players. maia bouchier will fly out to the west indies to replace alice capsey in england women's t20 squad. it's after capsey broke her collarbone fielding

during the second one day international, which england won by 142 runs in antigua. chasing 261, the hosts were bowled out for 118 in a one sided encounter with england taking a 2—0 lead in the three match series. alice davidson—richards has also been added to the t20 squad. the final 0di takes place on friday. the lawn tennis association has been fined a million dollars by the atp for banning russian and belarusian male players from this summer's grass—court events. the ban was imposed in reaction to russia's invasion of ukraine. the governing body has also been warned it could lose its atp membership if a similar decision is made next year. the all england club — who organise wimbledon — were also given a six figure fine along with the lta by the women's tour. also for excluding female russian and belarusian players. the threat of their membership being terminated, they would not be members of the atp, and therefore would not be able to stage any events that are two events in the uk, which is why i think it is going to be an incredibly difficult

decision for the all england club initially to decide what they do for 2023, my feeling is that unless the government pressure is very, very strong, they will be looking at every possible way they can not to exclude russian and belarusian players from the championships next year. there is much more on our website for all of those stories, but that is all the sport for now. hello there. we are all talking about the cold at the moment, aren't we? and it's going to get closer still as we head into the weekend. now, today, it's been cold enough for some snow showers across higher grounds in the north of scotland. this was highland a little earlier on. but for many, particularly further inland, we have had blue sky and sunshine. yes, it's been a cold day, but it's also been a glorious one. and you can see from the satellite picture just how much sunshine we've got inland. and that's because that

northerly wind is driving in cloud on exposed coasts. here, we've seen showers, and some of these showers have been wintry, chiefly to the far north. so, that means that there is a very low chance of seeing some snow across central and southern parts of england, along those exposed coasts, we'll keep those showers, and maybe some ice risk as well with more significant snow showers potentially in the far north of scotland. and accumulations of snow will start to gather over the next couple of days. in actual fact, as we go through the evening and overnight, we will continue to see further snow showers in the north of scotland, and may be anywhere along those sticky outfits, the coastal areas, as well. further inland, we keep some clear skies, the temperatures are likely to fall away. in fact, in towns in city centres, it will be down to —4 or —5 celsius, so colder still in rural areas. could see a line of more organised showers drifting across aberdeenshire over into the north yorkshire moors by the middle part of thursday afternoon. anywhere where get some showers, the risk of icy stretches, more snow and ice continuing

into the far northwest. but look at the temperatures, only around 2—4 celsius, and where we have got that brisk wind coming to the north and east, here, it will feel colder still, so temperatures really, really struggling. so, as we move out of thursday into friday, is there going to be that much of a significant change? not really. we've got this little weather front just enhancing the risk of some showers as we go through overnight and into the start of friday. it might be lingering across the east anglia and south east england, behind it, quite a clearance with some sunshine coming through. again, still the risk of further showers on those exposed north coasts in scotland. again, those temperatures down on where they should be for the time of year. it's going to get colder still, and with lighter winds, freezing fog could be an issue as we head into the weekend. whatever you're doing, make sure you wrap up warm.

welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore — i'm mariko 0i — the headlines. german police carry out their largest—ever anti—terrorism operation — against an alleged right wing plot to overthrow the government. these people were well connected and are trying to recruit other security services, army, police personnel in order to stage a violent coup. peru's left—wing president pedro castillo is held by police — after trying — and failing — to suspend the country's congress. china abandons the toughest parts of its zero—covid rules — after waves of protests against lockdowns and isolation camps.
