thank you very much indeed, that first semifinal match very close to being confirmed. we know it will be croatia at the lusail stadium, and argentina are very close to joining them. they took the lead in the first half after a brilliant messi pass, with nahuel molina getting the goal. messi then got a penalty to make it to know, i said there were seconds remaining, in the final seconds, the netherlands have equalised! they have just equalised from a free kickjust out the penalty area, there were ten minutes of injury time as the clock tick to 100 minutes, it is the netherlands who have equalised, and truly with

those ten minutes now done, another penalty shoot out is to come. that was after earlier, when croatia, the 2018 finalists essentially knocked out brazil through the same method. it was 0—0 after 90 minutes, and brazil took the lead and looked to have the game won when neymar scored in the additional period. croatia equalised in the 117th minute, and for the second knockout round in a row, they did when penalty shoot—out. marquinhos hit the post with the crucial kit for the brazilians. that defeat for brazil marks the end of their coach, tite. our

extra time at the lusail stadium for a place in the world cup semifinals. one of russia's most prominent opposition politicians has been sentenced to eight and a half years imprisonment. ilya yashin was found guilty of spreading what the authorities claim is false information about the war in ukraine. he had used his youtube channel in april to discuss evidence of atrocities committed by russian troops in bucha, near the ukrainian capital, kyiv. he also cast doubt on moscow's official version of events there. here's our russia editor, steve rosenberg. i am outside the moscow courthouse where a short while ago ilya yashin was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. the prominent russian opposition politician was convicted under a draconian law adopted earlier this year of spreading false information about the russian armed forces. this relates to comments he made in a livestream about alleged russian war crimes in bucha. when the verdict was read out, there was applause and support

for him in the courtroom. now mr yashin and his supporters and human rights groups say this case, this trial, was politically motivated. if you want to tell something that contradicts the official view, especially about what's going on in ukraine, not only but especially about ukraine, you may face up to, as you've heard, eight years of prison. eight years of prison is a lot. some people that murder someone might get less. so it's understandable why not many voices you hear now like yashin's one. ilya yashin was locked in the dock, he was in handcuffs as if he was a dangerous criminal. in fact, he's one of the few high—profile opposition politicians here to have stayed in russia, not to have left the country despite the kremlin

crackdown on its critics. in a previous court session ahead of the verdict, ilya yashin had accused president putin of waging a war not only against ukrainians but against his own people. this case, the trial and the verdict reflect a growing wave of state repression in russia since president putin's invasion of ukraine. another prominent kremlin critic is under arrest and is facing more than 20 years in prison on a number of charges including high treason. i spoke earlier to the russian opposition activist and politician natalya pelevina. natalia worked closely with ilya yashin in the same political party of parnas. she said the arrest of her collegue is a kremlin's message to the whole opposition left in russia. it's still a shock but it did not come as a surprise. we expected something like this to happen even though eight years is very harsh. even for this regime.

but we do see that obviously the war is going not in the direction vladimir putin was hoping for. he is willing to go all out to silence his harshest critics which is what ilya has been consistently doing for a long time. even though he has been detained for other reasons over the years, many times, today he was sentenced to those extremely long years injail and this is meant not only to silence him but also act as a deterrent for those who are willing to still speak out. against putin and specifically the war in ukraine. ilya yashin has been critical for a long time and outspoken for a long time so why would this arrest happen now, and this sentencing?

he used his youtube platform to attack putin and his generals not just for the war but the specific atrocities in ukraine. he put out a video on his youtube channel which was the foundation for his charges for which he was sentenced today. as was mentioned in your report, he is one of the few russian opposition figures who stayed behind. many have left for that very reason that we all knew we would face very serious consequences for speaking out and not speaking out for many of us is not really an option so trying to protect our families, we have chosen to leave. however, ilya stayed behind. it's a very courageous act on his behalf but unfortunately today we are seeing the consequences. as you said, a message is being sent

here to the opposition with this very harsh punishment. what effect does this have on the opposition, will it make people more afraid to speak out? everyone is human and when you see somebody like ilya yashin who is well known, at least in our circles, go off potentially for eight years, people are afraid and are going to be more afraid to speak out. but in the oppressive state that russia is in, only to be expected. however, we do foresee that this war cannot wage on for too long, putin doesn't have enough resources for that to happen so hopefully the regime will fall and people like ilya will be released again. but in the meantime, we all have to be, the russian opposition figures who are still behind it, have to be careful.

comes just days after the democrats secured 51 seats in the 100 member chamber. let's speak to our north america reporter anthony zurcher. wa nt want more detail can you give us about this decision? she announced this morning _ about this decision? she announced this morning in _ about this decision? she announced this morning in an _ about this decision? she announced this morning in an op-ed _ about this decision? she announced this morning in an op-ed in - about this decision? she announced this morning in an op-ed in an - this morning in an op—ed in an arizona paper and in television interviews that she is becoming an independent because she sees partisanship is getting out of control in washington, dc and corrupting washington, dc. she will still work with democrats, and that is important, because that will maintain the democratic majority in the us and it will stop if she had sided with republicans, that would have complicated the democratic control of that chamber and made it much more likely that republicans could snarl things up legislatively. i think you have to look at this as kyrsten sinema having an eye for running towards the election when her seat is up in 2024. she does not have a lot of popularity among democrats right now, because she has broken ranks with democrats in the past on key issues like the minimum

wage and corporate tax. she may be eyeing some third—party independent bid to hold onto that seat. sage eyeing some third-party independent bid to hold onto that seat.— bid to hold onto that seat. saw some olitical bid to hold onto that seat. saw some political calculations _ bid to hold onto that seat. saw some political calculations are _ bid to hold onto that seat. saw some political calculations are probably - political calculations are probably been made, but has there been any reaction from the democrats? the white house _ reaction from the democrats? tie: white house released a reaction from the democrats? ti2 white house released a statement that said that president biden has worked with senator sinema successfully on key pieces of legislation, and they look forward to working with her going forward, and they don't see this change in the dynamic in the united states senate. the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, also came out with a statement saying that he would keep kyrsten sinema's seat on committees that are provided by the democrats. nothing will change there, she said she requested and he accepted. they see it is more important to keep her

on their side as much as possible, and the real action campaign on whether to challenge her in 2024 is a problem they will have to worry about down the road.— a problem they will have to worry about down the road. while this may not really affect _ about down the road. while this may not really affect the _ about down the road. while this may not really affect the democrats - not really affect the democrats controlling the senate, does it have any symbolic significance? is sending a message that the democrats may not be completely on board with cosmi- , , cosmic it is interesting to hear christensen talking _ cosmic it is interesting to hear christensen talking about -- l cosmic it is interesting to hear- christensen talking about -- kyrsten christensen talking about —— kyrsten sinema talking about how there is people yearning for some sort of alternate way beyond democrats and republicans. i think she thinks maybe she can tap into that. if you can to the number of registered independents in a state of arizona, it has been going up considerably, same as places like nevada and georgia. you see people yearning for something different. as much as she could become a voice for those pupils who are frustrated with partisanship in this country, that

might be an opportunity for her, and may not reflect well on the democratic party.— may not reflect well on the democratic party. she is not the only independent _ democratic party. she is not the only independent senator. - democratic party. she is not the | only independent senator. bernie sanders is also an independent, this is still unusual, isn't it? it is unusual. _ is still unusual, isn't it? it is unusual, bernie _ is still unusual, isn't it? it is unusual, bernie sanders - is still unusual, isn't it? it 3 unusual, bernie sanders and angus king both work and caucus with the democrats, and also, when they run for election to the senate, they run with the support. it is still unclear whether kyrsten sinema will get that when she runs. this is more like senatorjoe lieberman in connecticut, who was defeated and then ran as an independent and said, and had to beat a half as a democratic senator on the way to winning that. it is a lot harder to winning that. it is a lot harder to win a three person race, particularly if you are an independent, because you do not have that infrastructure behind you. it is right have you help us make sense of that news, thank you joining us.

police in bangladesh say two leaders of the main opposition party have been charged with inciting and planning attacks on the police, including the use of crude bombs. mirza fakhrul islam alamgir and mirza abbas, of the bangladesh nationalist party, appeared in court hours after they were detained. for more on this, i spoke earlier to the bbc�*s akbar hossein, who is in dhaka. the main opposition party, the bangladesh nationalist party, they have been demanding a non—party, neutral caretaker government to oversee the next general election, which is due to be held byjanuary 2024, because there was credible evidence of vote—rigging in the last general election, which was held in 2018. so the main opposition, the bnp, says that if the present government, led by sheikh hasina remains in power and they manage the election, next general election, there is a high possibility of vote rigging and election fraud. that's why they are demanding a non—party caretaker government. this is the first thing.

another thing is, in recent months, the price hike of essential goods is so high, the inflation has gone up like many other countries and the government is actually struggling to meet the import bills because of severe dollar crisis. so these are the things actually which escalated the protest in the people and the opposition. they are holding rallies in several parts of the country already. they've already held nine rallies across the country for their supporters. tomorrow they will be holding another rally in dhaka and ahead of the rally, the government, they do not like bnp to hold a rally inside dhaka because they think it will be have a political cost for them. that's why police reacted very harsh. there was a deadly clash between opposition supporters and police which left one person killed. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news...

the head of a ukrainian human rights organisation that was jointly awarded this year's nobel peace prize has called on nations to set up an international tribunal to try president putin for the war in ukraine. oleksandra matviichuk of the centre for civil liberties said she was confident that russia's leader would stand trial sooner or later. gunmen in northern nigeria have abducted the family of a local member of parliament in the state of zamfara. people in the town of jangebe say the kidnappers broke into the home of the politician, aminu yusuf ardo, during the night and seized his wife and four children. the iranian president has said his government will continue its operations against protesters, a day after the first execution over the nationwide anti—government unrest. ebrahim raisi said the identification, trial and punishment of the perpetrators would be pursued with determination.

chinese president xijinping is looking to cooperate with saudi arabia and other gulf countries in the field of energy. the comments were made on the president's final day in saudi arabia, wade attended the china — arab summit. the british government has announced a major overhaul of the financial services industry, relaxing some of the safeguards imposed after the 2008 financial crisis. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, says the reforms will cut red tape and boost growth, but critics say his plan risk forgetting the lessons of the past. our business editor, simonjack reports. october 1986, the so—called big bang, widespread financial deregulation in the uk, which ushered in an era of buccaneering, risk—taking freewheeling. but in 2008, the wheels spectacularly came off, banks around the world went bust, requiring tens of billions of taxpayer—funded rescues. tough rules to stop that happening again are now being reviewed or binned. the banks have become much healthier financially since 2008, we've put in place a process so that

financial issues can be resolved which we didn't have before, but on that basis, we also want to make sure that they can compete with other financial centres, whether it's the united states or asia. among 30 reforms announced today were plans to reconsider which banks really need to separate or ring—fence their retail operations from their riskier investment divisions, review rules on approving or punishing individual senior executives which have delayed or scared off hires from abroad, and these reforms come on top of measures already announced to scrap an eu—wide cap on bankers' bonuses and allow pension funds to invest more in long—term, harder to sell and therefore riskier assets to help fund the government's levelling—up projects. global banking chiefs said the uk needed to move with the times to compete with other financial centres. london should not in any way take for granted its kind of preeminence and its dominance, so, any reform that is pro—growth, which looks at a vision for financial services overall and which makes the uk competitive

is very timely and very important. financial services make up 10% of the entire uk economy, it generates enough tax to pay for two thirds of the nhs, it is an economic powerhouse. but as we found out 15 years ago, it can also be a financial wrecking ball. now, the banks here are much stronger than they were on the eve of that financial crisis, but there are many who think that rolling back regulation to boost growth is not without risk. in fact, some argue it's precisely because financial services are so important to the uk that it needs tough regulation. we cannot afford another gamble with financial deregulation because what will happen is that if it goes wrong, the city will still walk away with its profits and its bonuses, but yet again, it will be ordinary people and ordinary taxpayers who will have to pay the price. both the city and the government are convinced that not changing is the biggest risk to future growth of all. simon jack, bbc news.

thank you for watching, stay with us. good evening. friday brought us another bitterly cold day after a sharp frost to start. we had some snow showers around and that's going to be very much the story into the weekend. staying very cold. icy stretches for many of us. further snow showers in places and lingering freezing fog. we're seeing that freezing fog already forming. it's going to become more extensive tonight for the east midlands, particularly east anglia, up towards the vale of york. more heavy snow showers and icy conditions across the north and north—east of scotland. ice also likely around some of these irish sea coast with showers for northern ireland down towards the south west of england too. temperatures as low as about minus five or minus six even in some of our towns and cities, but even colder than that for a few rural spots. so a bitterly cold start to saturday morning for scotland. there's that lingering snow, perhaps just rain close to the coast

for aberdeenshire, for instance. some early sunshine for southern scotland, perhaps northern ireland, as well, but ice certainly a risk here. there are those showers pushing in towards manchester, the west pennines, for instance, and some showers for the higher ground of wales and south—west england. could be a couple of centimetres of snow accumulating for bodmin and exmoor, for instance. that lingering freezing fog will be really quite slow to clear in the east of england. could be the odd patch elsewhere too. so if you do see that fog sticking around all day, then temperatures will struggle to get above freezing. most of us typically about three or four degrees. i think the mildest weather down towards the far south—west. overnight saturday into sunday, another very cold night. again, freezing fog for much of england and wales. some snow showers, especially for parts of eastern scotland, perhaps into north—east england, as well. so subzero temperatures once again to start your sunday morning, a sharp frost and that lingering freezing fog could be very slow to clear. now, low pressure is with us at the moment, but it's a very slack area of low pressure, not many isobars on the map, not enough wind to drive it through.

we have got the breeze coming in from the north or north—east and that will bring that cold air mass. once again, snow showers for north—east scotland, some of them perhaps pushing into the far north—east of england. later in the day the potential for this area of rain in the english channel to increasingly turn to sleet and snow as it may move into south—east england, the london region and east anglia. but freezing fog once again, temperatures only a degree or two above freezing for many of us through the day on sunday. do watch out for that potential for some snowfall in the south—east. temperatures still well below freezing into next week. bye— bye.
