qatar. let's discuss the chances tomorrow night with nicholas ryan, an england football fan. at this stage, are you feeling excited or are you feeling stressed? i feel a ifeel a bit sick, to be honest. i can't wait, but i do want a journey to end here. so many good stories around that england team, jude bellingham, his arrival on the international scene, bit like wayne rooney in 200a. a tournament ended with us, then the quarterfinals, littleborough doesn't have the same way tomorrow. that littleborough doesn't have the same way tomorrow— littleborough doesn't have the same wa tomorrow. ., . ., ., way tomorrow. that comment from the ress off way tomorrow. that comment from the press off comp — way tomorrow. that comment from the press off comp -- _ way tomorrow. that comment from the press off comp -- press _ way tomorrow. that comment from the press off comp -- press conference - press off comp —— press conference that it could come down to the smallest of details, what do you think those details are? the smallest of details, what do you think those details are?- think those details are? the big detail is kylian _ think those details are? the big detail is kylian mbappe! - think those details are? the big detail is kylian mbappe! if- think those details are? the big detail is kylian mbappe! if we . think those details are? the big i detail is kylian mbappe! if we can't contain him, he is probably the best player in the world at the minute,

if we can limit his chances. if kyle walker can look after him, and there behind him the goalkeeper. i wouldn't change the starting line—up. what we need to remember is they are so good going forward, france, that they don't really depend that much. if our attacking midfielder game is up to scratch, we have a chance. the midfielder game is up to scratch, we have a chance-— have a chance. the france manager toda said have a chance. the france manager today said he _ have a chance. the france manager today said he thought _ have a chance. the france manager today said he thought that - have a chance. the france manager today said he thought that england | today said he thought that england didn't have any particular weaknesses. is there a batch of mind games with 2a hours to go? j weaknesses. is there a batch of mind games with 24 hours to go?— games with 24 hours to go? i think if ou ut games with 24 hours to go? i think if you out yourself _ games with 24 hours to go? i think if you put yourself at _ games with 24 hours to go? i think if you put yourself at a _ if you put yourself at a disadvantage if you slack off your opponents just before a game. disadvantage if you slack off your opponentsjust before a game. i agree with him, i don't think we have one specific weakness. our

defence hasn't been tested in front of a lethal position, but france plasma because my cousin died there. it is a really big in for both sides and i would say it is a toss of a coin. it will come down to the finest of margins, that could be a penalty shoot—out. fih. finest of margins, that could be a penalty shoot-out.— finest of margins, that could be a penalty shoot-out. oh, god! iwasn't feelin: penalty shoot-out. oh, god! iwasn't feeling nervous. _ penalty shoot-out. oh, god! iwasn't feeling nervous, but _ penalty shoot-out. oh, god! iwasn't feeling nervous, but my _ penalty shoot-out. oh, god! iwasn't feeling nervous, but my arm! - penalty shoot-out. oh, god! iwasn't feeling nervous, but my arm! how. feeling nervous, but my arm! how would you be watching it tomorrow night? would you be watching it tomorrow niuht? , , ., ., would you be watching it tomorrow ni. ht? , , ., ., ., , night? yes, 'ust gone round to my cousin night? yes, just gone round to my cousin james's _ night? yes, just gone round to my cousin james's house. _ night? yes, just gone round to my cousin james's house. i _ night? yes, just gone round to my cousin james's house. i don't - night? yes, just gone round to my| cousin james's house. i don't think cousinjames's house. i don't think i have the nerve to watch it out in public. i was out in qatar for the group games and i'm back nine in london. i need medical attention close by! mil london. i need medical attention close b ! �* , , ., london. i need medical attention closeb! ,, close by! all the best to you. i want to stay — close by! all the best to you. i want to stay enjoy, _ close by! all the best to you. i want to stay enjoy, but - close by! all the best to you. i want to stay enjoy, but i - close by! all the best to you. i| want to stay enjoy, but i guess close by! all the best to you. i. want to stay enjoy, but i guess it is all about how it goes. thank you very much, nicholas.

let's turn to the bbc sport centre and we will get the very latest on a busy time. i wasn't feeling remotely nervous, i am busy time. i wasn't feeling remotely nervous, iam in busy time. i wasn't feeling remotely nervous, i am in the newsroom tomorrow, i thought i would kick back at everyone and watch it, no i don't know what to think! good evening. there has been another goal in the match, it is now 1—1 between brazil and croatia. it took until the one —— 106 minutes to get the first of them. neymar beginning and ending a move. he is now level with pele with the record for brazilian international goals. he spent his ankle earlier in the

journal but he is back in scoring. and the 117th minute, a reflection of a brazilian defender allowed croatia to equalise. they are in the second minute of injury time at the end of extra time. unless we get anything in the next 90 seconds it would appear that brazil and croatia will go to penalties. let's not talk to 0llie foster. you and i will keep one eye on what is going on at the education city stadium. let's reflect on who might play the team he will eventually win this first quarterfinal, the netherlands or argentina. it is a fascinating matchup that has been prevalent in many generations over the years. he: would have thought that the netherlands and argentina players would have liked to watch the end of this game before leaving their hotels but they will be arriving round about now at the stadium.

another chapter in a history between these two at world cups. 1970 at the world cup final, argentina winning that one. in 2014, argentina beating the dutch on penalties in that world cup in brazil. it is difficult to know which way this will go. we noted toward brazil against croatia, but that will be the lottery of spot kicks by the looks of it. argentina, they have been playing within themselves, doing just enough. lionel messi has been carrying them so far and what will be his final world cup. 0ne so far and what will be his final world cup. one of these players that we have looked up to over the last decade or so in our generation. cristiano ronaldo, luka modric is on the pitch right now. i think the full—time whistle has just gone on that match so it will go to

penalties. then we have the netherlands, with this new generation coming through on dirty hire and tulip, louis van gaal, he has loved every second here in qatar with this group of players. they dispatched the usa fairly easily in the last 16, finishing top of that fairly weak group, that also had senegal, ecuadorand fairly weak group, that also had senegal, ecuador and qatar. they haven't really been tested, but they will be tested by argentina. jahe will be tested by argentina. jane was mentioning _ will be tested by argentina. jane was mentioning having a conversation a few minutes ago, having the day waits for the other quarterfinal. there will be a lot of emotions that the fans will experience in that time. as far as england are concerned, they have practical elements of their squad because of the departures of raheem sterling and ben white and not the return of raheem sterling.—

raheem sterling. yes, raheem sterlina raheem sterling. yes, raheem sterling has _ raheem sterling. yes, raheem sterling has had _ raheem sterling. yes, raheem sterling has had five _ raheem sterling. yes, raheem sterling has had five days - raheem sterling. yes, raheem sterling has had five days in - raheem sterling. yes, raheem| sterling has had five days in the uk. there was a burglary in the family home in surrey. he was allowed to return to be with his family. we came back into full training. very difficult to see how raheem sterling can force his way back into the starting 11, which we think will be unchanged, the same 11. it was eight days ago that ben white left the england camp indefinitely. he won't be coming back. some reports have come out that he had a bust up with some of ankle's backroom staff. he was a french player in the squad, having a fantastic season for arsenal. gareth southgate was asked if there had been some sort of falling outs. figs been some sort of falling outs. as far as i'm been some sort of falling outs. as faras i'm aware

—— penalty shoot—out to get to the final 2018, they are going to need another one now. the croatian goalkeeper saved three penalties in the last round of games. croatia equalised in the 117th minute. it will get even hotter over the course of the next few minutes. thank you very much indeed. we are keeping an eye on all of that. the time right now is 17:40pm. we will return to the other main stories. sexual harassment on the streets is to be made an offence in england and could carry a prison sentence of up to two years. under this new legislation, catcalling, following someone or blocking their path will be criminalised. the bill has been

a quick update from qatar. croatia are through to the semifinals of the world cup. they havejust are through to the semifinals of the world cup. they have just beaten brazil on penalties. so croatia oratory. the build—up in this country of courses tomorrow night as england take on france. we believe this is the grab. very happy indeed.

o'clock. and against france tomorrow. so, croatia in the semifinals of the world cup. they will play the winner of that match, netherlands against argentina. arlene foster is back with us. he is watching all of this in doha for us. can you see these pictures from croatia? you can probably guess what is going on. croatia? you can probably guess what is auoin on. ~ ., ., ., , croatia? you can probably guess what is aoian on. ~ ., ., ., , is going on. well, extraordinary. it takes ou is going on. well, extraordinary. it takes you right _ is going on. well, extraordinary. it takes you right back _ is going on. well, extraordinary. it takes you right back to _ is going on. well, extraordinary. it takes you right back to 2018 - is going on. well, extraordinary. it takes you right back to 2018 when | takes you right back to 2018 when croatia marched all the way to the final in russia, eventually beaten ljy final in russia, eventually beaten by an exceptional french team, but they did it injust by an exceptional french team, but they did it in just the same way, a penalty shoot—out in the last 16. a penalty shoot—out in the last 16. a penalty shoot—out in the last 16. a penalty shoot—out in the quarter final, beating england in extra

time. that is the croatian way. they really push their luck. brazil squandered so many chances in normal time and extra time. it was that man, the goalkeeper that saved three penalties againstjapan in the man, the goalkeeper that saved three penalties against japan in the last 16. he pulled off some fantastic saves to keep brazil at bay. it was 1-1 saves to keep brazil at bay. it was 1—1 going into the penalty shoot—out after neymar had given brazil the lead in extra time. it was croatia who got that equaliser to force it to penalties. again, the croatian goalkeeper stepped up and saved the first penalty from brazil. that was roderigo. the croatians were simply perfect, scoring their first four, and that is all they needed to do, as marquinhoson stepped up to keep

brazil in the world cup, but he struck the spot kick against the base of the post. he sunk to the turf in tears. we are seeing pictures of neymar, who has a world cup curse, really. he broke his back at his own world cup in brazil when he was supposed to be the man to deliver the greatest prize. he wasn't fit at the last world cup in russia. he was injured —— injured in the group stage here and came back and scored in the last two games, but to no reward. brazil ouch. they have won as many world cups as the rest of the quarterfinalist put together, but they have not managed together, but they have not managed to win one for 20 years, back in 2002. so, a south american giant has fallen, and this will hurt even more because brazil could have faced argentina in the semifinals, but

thatisif argentina in the semifinals, but that is if argentina beat the netherlands and the second of the quarterfinals that kicks off in an hour and ten minutes, at the same stadium where the final will be held to a week on sunday. but she ever reaches that final, it will not be brazil. there will be tears and despair among the millions of their supporters worldwide. i come, those pictures we are seeing, in croatia right now, with the jubilant croatian fans, and nation who have always punched above their weight, a nation of 4 million. the croatian manager before this tie said croatia to brazil, we are like a small suburb of a brazilian city, we should not be able to compete against the brazilians, but they competed, they push their luck at times, but they forced penalties and thatis times, but they forced penalties and that is when croatia came into their own. it is not a huge upset because

they were runners up. brazil will have felt they were upset by a letter nation, but croatia, my word, just when they needed to, they have done it again. this world cup never ceases to surprise us. ts done it again. this world cup never ceases to surprise us.— ceases to surprise us. is that this sort of surprise _ ceases to surprise us. is that this sort of surprise we _ ceases to surprise us. is that this sort of surprise we want - ceases to surprise us. is that thisl sort of surprise we want tomorrow night with england? i'm not so sure. are you feeling with the data go? let's not even go there! two more quarterfinals before then. i will be a cagey affair, as well. we quarterfinals before then. i will be a cagey affair, as well.— a cagey affair, as well. we will let ou ao a cagey affair, as well. we will let you go for — a cagey affair, as well. we will let you go for now- — a cagey affair, as well. we will let you go for now. thank— a cagey affair, as well. we will let you go for now. thank you - a cagey affair, as well. we will let you go for now. thank you very i a cagey affair, as well. we will let. you go for now. thank you very much indeed. arlene fosterfollowing all of this for us in doha, as we leave the scenes of absolute jubilation in sad grab in croatia.

right now, we will return to pressing matters regarding the nhs and some of the day's other menus. the question of how to improve home care and support in order to free up hospital beds is one of the biggest challenges facing health care. in manchester, one organisation is saying it has pioneered a new way of working that it believes can help ease the pressure on nhs services. it's the first call—out of the day for manju and kara. so, we're going on to see stephen now. stephen's had a fall yesterday. manju will do a medical and physical assessment. i had a look at his medical records and it looks like he has parkinson's. kara, a pharmacist, will check out what medication stephen is taking. hello, sir. how are you? stephen lives alone, so as well as confirming there are no medical issues,

they are making sure he can carry on living independently. that's an antihistamine. how about going up and down the stairs? i'm 0k, just about, yeah. we'll have another rail put up here over here, 0k? yeah, because i need it. yes _ stephen's fall might have led to a visit to a&e. drinka bit more, ok? i know, yeah. but in manchester, what's known as the local care 0rganisation is now picking up cases that may not need that level of intervention. we've got helen, - a lady in a care home. back at base in north manchester, the local team — nurses, social workers, pharmacists all working alongside each other — are running through their cases. if they decide she is going home, then, we're ready. so this team are having their morning meeting. it's still early in the day but they've already got a lot of cases on the go, and they are set for a very busy day. we would consider ourselves to be an admission avoidance service, so we're trying to prevent ambulances being called in the first instance.

when an ambulance has been called, we're taking referrals directly from the ambulance service, and we respond within one or two hours, depending on need. that's an alternative to a&e. you like being photographed, don't you? no, don't go underneath. last year, eric slipped in the shower. he was stuck there for five days until he was rescued. the local care 0rganisation found him this new flat with on—site care, should he need it. it keeps eric independent. i'd sooner live in a tent than go in a care home. instead of the traditional nursing home, which is like god's waiting room, you get shoved in, nobody visits you, nothing happens and you just wait for death. and i don't believe in waiting for death. doorbell rings. afternoon, mohamed. how's things? part of the development is dedicated to helping get people discharged from hospital.

got the football on? mohamed broke his leg and his existing flat wasn't safe. so he's staying here for a few weeks while more suitable accommodation is found. i'll do an 0t referral. this whole scheme has needed the council and the local nhs to integrate completely, a significant financial and political commitment. what it provides is a real community offer that is able to pull and support people to come out of hospital as soon as they're ready, and the offers that we have now across manchester for people mean that we can make real inroads into some of the pressures the nhs is experiencing. working together to deliver care at home and avoid visits to hospital. this all sounds simple, but it could be the key to keeping the nhs going through some tough months ahead. dominic hughes, bbc news, manchester.
