parents, but say that serious complications from the bug remain rare. simonjones reports. a school in mourning. the local council says everyone at hove park school will be deeply affected by the very tragic loss of a young life. it's stressing that deaths from strep a remain extremely rare. since september, 16 children have died — 1a in england, one in wales and one in northern ireland. most infections are relatively mild. the symptoms to look out for are, in the early stages, a sore throat, causing a lot of pain or discomfort when eating ordrinking, a high fever, muscle aches and swollen glands. those affected can develop a rash like sandpaper. if a child turns floppy, turns blue or has difficulty breathing, the advice is to call 999 immediately. david whiteway�*s18—month—old son is recovering in hospital. he has been quite ill. he was diagnosed with strep throat and he's now got

early—onset pneumonia. after three visits to the gp, the advice was to go to a&e because he wasn't get any better, with the drugs we did manage to get hold of, they saw him and he has been through x—rays and has got the drugs now he needs and he responded really well overnight. early treatment with antibiotics will, in most cases, help reduce the risk of complications and the spread of the bug. it is only on rare occasions that the bacteria can get deeper into the body, requiring urgent treatment. the uk health security agency says there is no evidence that a new strain of circulating, and the rising cases is due to the high amounts of bacteria around, as well as increased social mixing. simon jones, bbc news. the "reichsburger" movement in germany was catapulted into the headlines this week, after 25 members and their aristocrat leader were arrested in coordinated raids by anti—terror police. accused of plotting to overthrow the government with violence, they're part of a growing number of people in germany who refuse to accept the country's post—war

government as legitimate. jenny hill went to visit one such group, whose self—declared independent kingdom in the east of germany even has its own currency. deep in the german countryside, an invisible border. we're stepping into the self—proclaimed kingdom of germany, and i've come to meet the king. a sign on the door tells us we're now temporarily his subjects. peter i, as he likes to be known, has minted his own currency, made his own laws and recruited around 5,000 citizens. why? translation: the german system is fascism and satanism. _ people who are corrupt, criminal or willing to be used, thrive in it, and those with an honest heart who want to change the world for the better, for the common good, don't have a chance.

the kingdom is expanding, buying up land, building outposts. we visited one of its newest colonies. we're told about 30 people live here. they don't pay german taxes, won't send their children to school, plan their own healthcare system, and they don't observe german law. benjamin, who speaks for the community, lives here with his young family. translation: if someone lives on german territory, _ of course he is subject to its laws. that's fine. but if someone has practically no connection to germany, and spends his life in the kingdom, then our laws apply. the people we have been speaking to are known as reichsburger, "citizens of the reich". the name may sound familiar. just a few days ago, several reichsburger were arrested for allegedly planning the violent overthrow of the german government. the people we have met

in the kingdom of germany say they have no violent intentions. nevertheless, the country's intelligence agencies say they do represent a threat, because they peddle conspiracy theory and extremist ideology. not true, says the king. but he's found a new audience — those who deny covid, reject the vaccine, and he's planning a tv channel. many dismissed reichsburger. the kingdom of germany as a bit of a joke. germany is learning to take them seriously. jenny hill, bbc news, eibenstock. saturday morning. the time isjust coming up to 6:12am. lgrgfe saturday morning. the time is 'ust coming up to 6:12ami saturday morning. the time is 'ust coming up to 6:12am. we are going to net lots coming up to 6:12am. we are going to get lots more — coming up to 6:12am. we are going to get lots more from _ coming up to 6:12am. we are going to get lots more from john _ coming up to 6:12am. we are going to get lots more from john in _ coming up to 6:12am. we are going to get lots more from john in doha. - coming up to 6:12am. we are going to get lots more from john in doha. we i get lots more from john in doha. we have mike who is at, it is rather interesting, because honestly england is playing france this evening, right? so he has found a

home. we obviously have all the weather warnings for snow and ice, but the added complication of some freezing fog as well this morning, andindeed freezing fog as well this morning, and indeed that will be a problem in the next couple of nights and indeed days. at this time of year there is little strength in the sunshine to clear that fog away. some really quite poor visibility in places and as you mentioned, yes, bitterly cold, —8 in bournemouth right now, -7 cold, —8 in bournemouth right now, —7 in glasgow, —6 at gatwick. it is cold out there. but we will see some wintry sunshine in the areas where we haven't got those showers and that freezing fog. those showers quite prevalent as you can see across the north and east of scotland, hence there is no warning. one or two wintry flurries in northern ireland coming to the north west of england, north west midlands, north and western parts of wales. that is where the biggest ice risk is this morning. the fog is quite persistent across the vale of york, down through east midlands, east anglia. it will slowly lift and break out but in

some areas it all day. watch that area of snow slid its way south towards the central belt as we go into the afternoon as well. temperatures where we have the snow obviously not getting above freezing but really struggling because of the fog in eastern areas, we might get six or seven potentially across the isles of scilly but it is cold for most. one or two showers near the south coast. through the evening and overnight that little band of snow creeps further south into the southern uplands, north—eastern parts again of england. it is cold. that is again the main story overnight tonight. perhaps not as sharp the frost in the south because we are likely to see more fog forming overnight tonight as well with the really slack wins at the moment. light winds generally but with low pressure close by there is a couple of areas that concern us. that one slipping northwards but the area of low pressure in the south particularly later in the day tomorrow mayjust enhance the risk of a little bit of wintry weather pushing into the far south and east of england. certainly some moisture around so again the ice risk continues here, but again for most

of us tomorrow, some fog around, perhaps a bit more extensively towards the east of wales, the south—west of england and southern areas as well. but even cold i think tomorrow, just because some of that fog is going to stay with us about low cloud, all day. pretty grim, really. cloudy and cold and grey. through tomorrow night, just that concern as well we will see a bit of wintry weather pushing into kent past essex as well. some uncertainty over that so please do stay tuned to the forecast. but again with the widespread frost overnight tonight, once again the ice becomes a risk, and where we have the freezing fog of course, that will of course cause some problems with freezing fog as well. the conditions, pretty treacherous. you can keep up—to—date on the website with all of the warnings and indeed on our app if you want some more detail on your area what the temperatures will be like and what it feels like, that is where you go. actually don't want to use the app and find out how cold it will be anymore. i am sick of it. were you

saying something in the last three minutes? you cannot keep me off! you cannot keep me off the bbc weather app. i am on it constantly, all the time. i could go on it right now actually. i don't we do this first? then you can have a look. in the run—up to christmas, many of us will be worrying about the cost of living, especially the two million people in england living in so—called "left behind" neighbourhoods. these are areas that have been identified by the social mobility charity, localtrust, as being deprived. they lack social infrastructure, such as transport, and spaces to meet, and people living there not only die younger than residents of wealthier areas, but they also spend more years in ill—health. there are 225 of these areas, mainly in post—industrial areas of the midlands and the north of england, as well as coastal towns. it's hoped identifying these areas can feed into the government's levelling—up strategy, to reduce inequalities across the country. ben schofield has been to kettering

for doing this. thank you for having me. how are you doing? i'm doing very well. so, i'm going to read you a couple of descriptions of you in the press. 0k! go for it. "an icon." "the hope for pop music's future." "a weird but important feminist." laughter. oh, what...does that even mean?! 0k. how would you describe yourself? oh, my god. i have no idea. i don't know. ifeel like i might have known how to answer that question, like, a couple of years ago. i don't know anymore, because i don't look at myself in that way. i don't look at myself like i'm something to explain. you know what i mean? yeah. ijust...| just exist. you know what i'm saying? a person. i'm just a person. i'm just existing and doing my part in life. i was going through your book and you had signed your first record deal at the age of 1a. yeah. and you say this was a year of having lots of meetings with people who didn't know how to talk to teenagers. mm—hm. what was that like?

oh, my god. i mean, i look back fondly for the most part, but, you know, it was so funny to be a 14—year—old girl with my 17—year—old brother and, you know, just doing hundreds of meetings constantly, you know, like, travelling to do them, and it was... i mean, it was incredible. it was so insane, because i didn't think i was anybody, or was going to be anybody, ever, and every day it's a shock to think that i get to do what i do. but it was wild to be in those meetings and, like, just... ..talking about what could be, and, like, any potential at all, was just so shocking and jarring, and i really couldn't even process any of it. but it was, yeah, it was a lot of meetings with people that didn't know how to talk to 14—year—old girls. i don't blame them. how is it different now to what it was like then? uh...

there's not one thing that's the same at all. i mean, i can't even tell you what's different, cos it's every single part, every single piece of the puzzle. completely different puzzle. it's interesting. it's like completely different terrain? just everything. everything's different. i don't know. it's. . . it's. .. but not in a bad way. i mean, honestly, things have only gotten better, which is really nice and kind of rare. you said a couple of years ago that you don't think there are many headlining opportunities for women. and then, look at you, the youngest person... i know! ..to headline glastonbury. i know. what do you think has changed for women in that time, or has anything changed? i think a lot has changed. ithink, like, we're in such a... i mean, i'm just in awe of the time we're in right now because of... women arejust, like, at the top right now. i mean, top of all the charts, it's women, women, women. i mean, it's, like, the most incredible thing for me to see

because it's just not been that way, you know? and to see festival ad mats come out and it's, like, so many women on them now. there was a specific period of time where i was just, like, in this, like, this, like, pit ofjust, like, hopelessness about myself, because i didn't have much to look up to, in terms of girls like me... ..being in that, you know, looked at, taken seriously in that regard, you know? it wasjust, like, complete... ..everything completely male—dominated. i mean, not even...not even a question, you know, and, i mean, everything is still that way, but it's better. and it's just... like, i rememberjust, like, crying in my bed... ..because i was...| was thinking about the kind of show that i would want to put on and i would just feel so, like, hopeless because i was like, "i'm a girl, and so i'm not...|�*m "never going to be able to have a show like that, "i'm never going to be able to just be, you know, "free up there

and wild and, like, not, you know, not have this and this going on and, like, you know, perform in this way and be more physical and be more...be more about "the performance and less about the...the little things." and i just felt like that would never happen because it hadn't really happened. yeah. but do you think women have as much power as men now, women artists have as much power as men now? uh... laughter. i wish. ijust don't... i mean, you know, that's... ..that�*s. .. ..deep, a deeper—rooted issue. um. but i think that it's very clear that women are more powerful than men. just behind those windows, we've got people camped out. they were here last night when we popped in. i know! and they were having so much fun, like, listening to your music, getting to know each other and stuff. do you feel the kind

of pressure of being that role model for so many young women... no. ..with this huge platform that you have? no, i don't feel pressure. i feel. . .i feel so stoked about it. i feel so excited about it. and i don't even feel like, "i'm a role model! "let me do this and this!" ijust feel like... i just feel like i'm truly in love with them. in love with them. and it's like you don't even... when you're in love with someone, you don't think about how you might be affecting them because they're affecting you so much. and that's kind of how i feel about them. i'm, like... i just... i don't know. i'vejust, like, overtime and, like, with different experiences and relationships, i'vejust been, like, felt more and more, like, committed to them, you know what i mean? it's like... it's like i feel like i'm, like, in a relationship with them, so any friendship or relationship, romantic or whatever, they're like... one of the first things i say, i'm like, "just so you know, you're getting me, but you're also getting them." that's, like, what i...

do you say that to boyfriends as well? oh, yeah. "just fyi, they come first. "so, you know, if you want to get with me, you got to get "with my fans." laughter. four days. we've been here since tuesday night. sleeping on the floor every night. sleeping on this ground for four days. and for this tour, _ we've camped over 300 hours. close to 400 hours. this is for— you should see me in a crown. and then i've got her- playing cards on my forearms, which are the joker and the king. - and then i've got. a devil and an angel for all the good girls go to hell. i can't even explain it. she'sjust meant so much to me since the beginning, since she was so young. the way that she is so open about her emotions and lets everybody else feel like it's ok to feel that way. like, its unique and it's very different. like, she doesn't speak about love songs as much. she speaks more about personal issues that i find really interesting. body image. environment. environment, yeah.

things like that. yeah. yeah, just, like, everything. pretty much everything that matters. - yeah. growing up in the public eye is a very bruising experience, and it's really hard to develop and change, for a lot of reasons. and so it was...it was hard for me and i was... ijust didn't really know what to...to do. and so i was just grasping at straws and, like, yeah, just, like, things...things were... ijust didn't know what i was doing. i mean, ijust had such severe impostor syndrome. i've had that so many times in my life, and reallyjust, like, some parts of last year and the year before, just, like... whew! ..wasjust in a downward spiral of impostor syndrome and just grasping at whatever i could to make me feel like myself again, but i didn't know what. and when you say impostor syndrome, you mean feeling that you don't deserve the success? more just like... well, you know, when you see

yourself in the public eye, especially after... me, i'm an internet kid, like, i see...| saw everybody else in the public eye when they were, and then suddenly it's me and i'm like... i'm on the internetjust as much as anybody else is. but then it's like, "oh, i'm part of the discussion now, "instead ofjust in the comments," which is, like, a very strange little thing. and when you see yourself and your name everywhere, it's really hard to know who the hell you are. and alsojust, like, what you like and don't like. because you kind of... especially because i got... ..i got known as a thing when i was... ..15, mainly that was when it kind of started, really. even though i started at 13, like, 15 was when people decided that that was who i was. so it's really hard to change and grow and grow up and mature and, like, become a human

when people decided that you were one thing, because then they think about you, they think that that's you forever. i mean, it absolutely drives me insane that you can look up billie eilish and videos that come up are things i said when i was 15. i'm like... almost, almost nothing i said before... ..two months ago, i still believe. laughter so it's like...it�*s a trip. what were the things that you feel changed from then to now, in terms of that moment, that feels like...? well, as soon as people started to trust me, you know, i mean, cos as, like, being a female at all, and especially being a very young female, especially in this industry, it's, like, really hard to make people believe in you. and, i mean, i get it to a certain extent because why would you just trust some random kid, you know, who's never... ..who doesn't know anything about anything? but i think when i earned people's, like...

i don't know, like, it was just. . . it was a very satisfying moment when i realised that people actually either wanted to hear what i had to say or, like, believed in what i had to say, and when i finally had control was a really...good moment. so i think that's a big change. is that in the sense of the control you feel, or...? that, 100%, and just all the surroundings, ifeel like, and just me and my brain and my growth and, like, just as a person, everything...everything has just kind of... i mean, it went like this, but right now, i feel...| feel really, really good. i feel in a really good...a good spot. it's been really nice. i don't know. it's really fun. like, ijust enjoy it so much, and i used to really not. and that's why i feel like.. you know, cos sometimes hearing people talk about how much they enjoy what they do or what they get to do is like, "ok, like, we get it, move on."

but the reason that i feel like it's important for me to say and it's not super annoying for me to say is that i really didn't enjoy a lot of it for a really long time and really wished i was doing something else. and over time and kind of achieving the kind of things that i wanted to achieve for myself, like, within myself and, you know, do the work that i did, like, was... i...i turned a corner and really started to enjoy the bleep out of my life. was there a moment you realised you had control? i think a lot of them have been onstage. stage is reallyjust, like, where i... ugh! i love being onstage. i'm so... ..i'm so bummed that, um, this tour is ending right now. but i think, like, honestly, though, i think that a moment might have been when i started to... cos i really wanted to direct my own videos for a really long time, and visuals has always

been something that's really meant the world to me and just been something i've been so interested in my whole life, and always wanted to direct videos and always had very clear ideas of what i wanted. and it took years of proving myself, and as...after so long of that and kind of gaining everybody�*s trust and just truly proving myself to people, it was like this... yeah, like, again, i turned a corner of, like, people actually being like, "ok, got it, you know what you're talking about." one thing you did say, though, was like, 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, i mean, ifeel the most powerful when i feel masculine, um, in my life. and i...i...i also can find power in femininity. it's kind of a balance of both. but i... what do you mean by masculine?

i don't know, i've...like... depending on how i walk and stand and my clothes and my face and myjewellery and my fingers and my, like... ..every. . .just everything that i... everything that i am, day—to—day, like, ifeel... ..i like to feel more...more masculine than feminine. itjust makes me feel better. which i struggled with for a long time because i wanted to feel feminine and like it, but ijust didn't really, and so...um... but then it's like finding moments where you can have that and it feels good, still, you know? like, right now, i'm wearing a tighter shirt and i'm wearing a more low—cut shirt and, like, you know, the older me would have been like, "eww, please don't!" but i like it. it makes me feel good now. and it'sjust the balance of...the two, you know? hi, my name is billie.

billy grew up in la, where she was home—schooled with her brother finneas in a tight—knit family. today, finneas is still her closest collaborator, and their parents are also employed in the global tour operation, with mum maggie leading a sustainable approach. it'sjust always been a kind of part of our family to be together as much as possible. i mean, you know, they're older, they won't need us or want us around, probably, forever, but it's been really, i think, an important part of being able to deal with the challenges of touring, which is quite exhausting and stressful. so i think having family around really, really helps that. it's certainly nice for me. climate change is, you know, the existential crisis that we are all dealing with, we've known about it for decades and yet we've been very, very slow to act. and since i started working with billie, when she started touring, ijust became very, very aware of

the music industry at the time was not really addressing it at all, and i did find people who really were, and so then we just set upon a mission to try to make her tours as sustainable as possible. 0k. um... i definitely suffer from climate anxiety, and i know that so many people my age do too. and it's. . . it's overwhelming sometimes, but i reallyjust wonder if, you know, we're doing enough. as far as our progress is concerned, compared to when billie started touring, you know, six years ago, definitely come a long way. people talk about it, people are interested in it, people realise the impact of plant—based food in addition to all of the other costs that people are more familiar with. so i think we've really made progress. we have a long way to go, let's be honest. # instead of stopping

they still were flashing # i started walking, gave no reaction...# ok, i'm going to read you one of your lyrics. i'm going to do "your power", which... so i love these lines. "try not to abuse your power. "i know we didn't choose to change. "does it keep you in control for you to keep her in a cage?" who's this for? ooh! chuckling um... well, both of those lines are, like, two different parts of the song. um, the song is about a lot of different things, a lot of different people in my life, in people that i know�*s lives. "i know we didn't choose to change" is an interesting line to me. and i don't...| wasn't sure if anyone would really understand it cos it doesn't really make that much sense, but it's really hard to have this much power. just in general, it's hard to have power. and it's really hard when you really don't have any power and suddenly you have a lot of power. it's hard not to take advantage of it and abuse it. and that goes for,

besides what the song is about, that goes for everything in life. the kind of hook and the idea of the song was inspired by all these different things, but the kind of idea is, like, seeing how someone could...be... ..taken, like, control of by their own power... ..where suddenly they're finding themselves in a place where they're just abusing their power constantly. in tv, "the internet�*s gone wild "watching movie stars on trial "while they're overturning roe v wade." you talk about roe v wade a couple of times in... what does that mean to you? it was just a period of time when it felt like there was such really, really... ..important things that were needed to talk about, that were being talked about, for sure, but... ..there was such a giant stirabout... ..something that so didn't

need to be talked about. and it was just kind of infuriating to me when, like, women's rights are being taken away... ..you know? like, i don't know. ijust didn't... it was just one of those things where i'm like, "where is the evenness here?" because there's a time for that, and there's... it's just not right now. # when i'm away from you # i'm happier than ever. # wish i could explain it better # i wish it wasn't true...# in your documentary, your apple documentary... yeah. ..there was a lovely moment in there where katy perry pulls you to the side, and she says, "you know, if you ever need someone "to have a chat with, just give me a call. "it's about to get crazy..." yeah. . in the next few years." have you taken her up on that yet? no, i never called her. i should call her up. i mean...but it's so funny thinking about that now,

because at the time, ijust didn't believe her. like, ijust didn't...|just didn't think it would keep going, you know? i mean, i think that it's really hard to see your future like that, you know, when your future is so kind of in the hands of not just you. because i would hear that a lot. i would hear... and not only is it hard to believe, but it's hard to process, you know, and, like, know what the hell to do at all. and when somebody says, like, you know, "it's about to get crazy, it's about to. crazier. yeah, it's... yeah, it was already so crazy, i couldn't imagine it being crazier. and also, i wasjust, like... you just can't possibly imagine... it's, like, you know, trying to explain a colour that doesn't exist. right. you just, you don't know. you don't know. and my final question is, you know, this theme for this year's 100 women is progress. as a woman in music, has there been progress? i think so. i think there's been a lot of progress. i feel. . .i feel. ..

you know, i was excited with the idea of this being about progress because i feel that there has been a lot, and there's been a lot of backpedalling also, you know, with more, like, the world and the laws and all of that, but i think... the laws like roe v wade? yeah. you know, we're going back in time in certain areas, which makes me want to throw up, but i do think there has been a lot of progress. and, again, the way that women have beenjust, like, absolutely towering over everyone in this industry right now is so exciting to me, and itjust makes me feel really, really hopeful and inspired. and it's not only women doing one thing, it's women doing all kinds of different things and looking different and acting different and having different styles and different... just, like, ijust love it so much. there's such a range right now and it's so nice to see and it'sjust so... it's just refreshing. i don't know. it's new. it's never been like that

and it's just really... ..it�*s exciting and it's really cool to be a part of it, so... so you're hopeful? i'm hopeful. very hopeful. thank you so much for giving us so much of your time. yeah. of course. thanks for having me. i really appreciate it. # i don't relate to you, no # cos i'd never treat me this # you made me hate this city # and i don't talk about you on the internet # never told anyone anything bad # cos that's embarrassing # you were my everything # and all that you did was make me sad.# good morning.

really excited, it is my first world cup game. it's going to be awesome. a world away from the winter weather back home, england has 's players have been keeping cool at their team hotel ahead of their toughest test yet. it has been a long time since england faced france at a world cup. england, having qualified through the back door, might yet climb up the front steps. it was spain, 1982. yeah, i remember coming home from school. i was a big fan of bryan robson, and he scored after 27 seconds. there is a header in there and a chance! bryan robson! that game, the two goals he scored in particular sort of caused me to fall in love with england football, and england in world cups, for definite. as the holders, the french fans have been in full voice here in doha.

should it go to penalties, the mind games have already started. french goalkeeper hugo lloris taking on tottenham team—mate harry kane. harry has the ability to shoot anywhere, so it can be on my right, on my left, in the middle. he is one of the best, probably, in this aspect of the game. it is here at england's training base they have been continuing their preparations ahead of this must—win game. the players are looking relaxed, but the stakes have been raised, with just three matches now standing between them and what would be a historic world cup win. and they are not the only ones to take centre stage. the squad received a visit from robbie williams, who was performing in doha this week. he did a few songs for us and had a sit down and a chat and a bit of dinner, and he made a fewjokes

about the young players may not know his stuff, because he is getting on a bit. i am robbie williams, i am at the england camp with the lads. how lucky am i? it was brilliant, a really good vibe around the place, just what we needed, everyone had smiles on their faces. now, can england deliver their own show stopping performance to keep this world cup dream alive? yes, and it was amazing being down at training _ yes, and it was amazing being down at training yesterday, just to get a sense _ at training yesterday, just to get a sense of— at training yesterday, just to get a sense of how relaxed those england ptayers _ sense of how relaxed those england players were feeling, how relaxed gareth _ players were feeling, how relaxed gareth southgate seems to be. it is not att— gareth southgate seems to be. it is not all about england, we have some morocco _ not all about england, we have some morocco fans down here this morning as they— morocco fans down here this morning as they prepare to face portugal tater~ _ as they prepare to face portugal later we — as they prepare to face portugal later. we have some french fans over here just _ later. we have some french fans over here just being interviewed on french— here just being interviewed on french tv. we have been saying how nerve—racking it is for the fans will stop— nerve—racking it is for the fans will stop how confident are you guys feeting? _ will stop how confident are you guys feeling? we will stop how confident are you guys feelin: ? ~ . ., ., will stop how confident are you guys feelina? . . ., ., , feeling? we are going to destroy them. feeling? we are going to destroy them- look _ feeling? we are going to destroy them. look at _ feeling? we are going to destroy them. look at that, _ feeling? we are going to destroy them. look at that, the - feeling? we are going to destroy i them. look at that, the confidence! we destroy — them. look at that, the confidence! we destroy spain, _ them. look at that, the confidence! we destroy spain, belgium, - them. look at that, the confidence! | we destroy spain, belgium, croatia,

a 16th child has died with a suspected infection of the invasive strain of strep a. the child was a secondary school pupil in east sussex. specialists from the uk health security agency are working with brighton and hove council and the child's school to keep parents informed, but say that serious complications from the bug remain rare. simonjones reports. a school in mourning. the local council says everyone at hove park school will be deeply affected by the very tragic loss of a young life. it's stressing that deaths from strep a remain extremely rare. since september, 16 children have died — 1a in england, one in wales and one in northern ireland. most infections are relatively mild. the symptoms to look out for are, in the early stages, a sore throat, causing a lot of pain or discomfort when eating or drinking, a highfever, muscle aches and swollen glands. those affected can develop a rash like sandpaper. if a child turns floppy, turns blue or has difficulty breathing, the advice is to call 999 immediately. david whiteway�*s is—month—old son

is recovering in hospital. he's been quite ill. he was diagnosed with strep throat and he's now got early—onset pneumonia. after three visits to the gp, the advice was to go to a&e, because he wasn't get any better, with the drugs we did manage to get hold of, and they saw him and he has been through x—rays and has got the drugs now he needs and he's responded really well overnight. early treatment with antibiotics will, in most cases, help reduce the risk of complications and the spread of the bug. it is only on rare occasions that the bacteria can get deeper into the body, requiring urgent treatment. the uk health security agency says there is no evidence that a new strain of circulating, and the rising cases is due to the high amounts of bacteria around, as well as increased social mixing. simon jones, bbc news. it emerged this week that conservative peer baroness michelle mone is taking a leave of absence from the house

into the headlines this week, after 25 members and their leader were arrested in coordinated raids by anti—terror police. accused of plotting to overthrow the government with violence, they're part of a growing number of people in germany who refuse to accept the country's post—war government as legitimate. jenny hill went to visit one such group, whose self—declared independent kingdom in the east of germany even has its own currency. deep in the german countryside, an invisible border. we're stepping into the self—proclaimed kingdom of germany, and i've come to meet the king. a sign on the door tells us we're now, temporarily, his subjects. peter i, as he likes to be known, has minted his own currency, made his own laws and recruited around 5,000 citizens. why? translation: the german system is fascism and satanism. _

people who are corrupt, criminal or willing to be used, thrive in it, and those with an honest heart who want to change the world for the better, for the common good, don't have a chance. the kingdom is expanding, buying up land, building outposts. we visited one of its newest colonies. we're told about 30 people live here. they don't pay german taxes, won't send their children to school, plan their own healthcare system, and they don't observe german law. benjamin, who speaks for the community, lives here with his young family. translation: if someone lives on german territory, _ of course he is subject to its laws. that's fine. but if someone has practically no connection to germany, and spends his life in the kingdom, then our laws apply. the people we have been speaking

to are known as reichsburger, "citizens of the reich". the name may sound familiar. just a few days ago, several reichsburger were arrested for allegedly planning the violent overthrow of the german government. the people we have met in the kingdom of germany say they have no violent intentions. nevertheless, the country's intelligence agencies say they do represent a threat, because they peddle conspiracy theory and extremist ideology. not true, says the king. but he's found a new audience — those who deny covid, reject the vaccine, and he's planning a tv channel. many dismissed reichsburger. the kingdom of germany was a bit of a joke. germany is learning to take them seriously. jenny hill, bbc news, eibenstock. here's helen with a look

snow down to now. many roads across the southwest western country go to that level. quite icy up there. there is freezing fog across parts of the south—east into the vale of york in the midlands and it will be really slow to clear, there is very little wind at the moment and we had that quite significant windchill value. in the north it will push a band of snow into the central belt into the afternoon, one or two where we have snow down to freezing at the freezing fog, four or five is the best for most of us. some weeks sunshine soon is appearing, temperatures soon dropping below freezing. more snow potentially coming down from the central failed into the north—east of england. temperatures perhaps not quite as bitterly cold or sharp frost tonight in the south because we may have more low cloud with some fog. to

sunday low pressure stays with us, very few isobars across our charts, so the fog is going nowhere. could be more expensive tomorrow and looking towards the south where potentially an area of low pressure to bring in some whether into the south and east later in the day. almost a repeat performance, quite dull and gloomy and cold, really cold where we have the fog lingering. some weeks sunshine coming through elsewhere, very icy as well, temperatures barely above freezing, and in the south we will see potentially overnight a little bit of rain, sleet. rain on the coast was sleet and snow inland. another icy night and we could wake up another icy night and we could wake up to a light covering on monday morning. as well as the freezing fog. so it is another cold one. the cold weather is set to stay into next week as well.— cold weather is set to stay into next week as well. why do i want to hear that? i — next week as well. why do i want to hear that? i will— next week as well. why do i want to

and compares with just 31 patients per day in the same week last year. across the uk, its children under the age of five, and adults, aged between 75 to 84 years old, that are being admitted to hospital with flu. we're joined now by one of our regular gps, dr helen wall. good morning to you. break down this week in terms of phone calls about... are you all right, charlie? do we have a doctor in the house? that was more of a tickle. apologies for that. , ., .. , i. . for that. the phone calls you have had this week, _ for that. the phone calls you have had this week, where _ for that. the phone calls you have had this week, where are - for that. the phone calls you have had this week, where are they - had this week, where are they landing in terms of subject area? trite landing in terms of sub'ect area? we have landing in terms of subject area? we have had a lot of calls this week from _ have had a lot of calls this week from worried periods, and that is understandable with the latest concern —— worried parents. all viruses. — concern —— worried parents. all viruses, bacteria, everything seems to have _ viruses, bacteria, everything seems to have come back with a complete vengeance — to have come back with a complete vengeance is year. we have had restrictions, even last christmas we were _ restrictions, even last christmas we were wearing masks because the

with samira ahmed. we will be back with you later with the headlines. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. should the bbc have broadcast distressing details about violence in haiti before the watershed? and does the release of a programme about the duke and duchess of sussex, made by a commercial broadcaster, count as news? on monday, bbc news at six broadcast a report about gang violence in haiti. it's one of the most dangerous places on earth, and senior international correspondent orla guerin met some of the victims of gang attacks. her report included some very distressing accounts of shootings and sexual assault, which we're not going to replay. and it was preceded by a warning from the presenter, fiona bruce. our senior international correspondent orla guerin sent this report from the haitian capital, and i should warn you, it contains some

distressing details. there are many here with stories that are harrowing to tell and to hear. like this man. his neighborhood is controlled by a gang whose rivals came on a killing spree. several viewers contacted newswatch to express their concern that such details had been broadcast before the 9pm watershed, when children could have been watching. veronica ball from chester and colin spikeslee from brightlingsea in essex recorded these comments for us on video. i was very concerned because it was completely unsuitable for young children who might well be watching at that time. the introduction mentioned mass killings, kidnaps and rapes, and it was only after this that we were warned that the images might be seen to be distressing. as a retired police detective who's dealt with victims of rape,

i was outraged to see this reported on live national news. the timing of the broadcast occurred _ when many children were likely to be viewing. we asked bbc news for a senior editor to discuss whether it had been appropriate to broadcast the haiti report before the watershed. we received this statement: another story which prompted a lot of comments from viewers this week was the mention in bbc news bulletins of a programme the duke and duchess of sussex have made for netflix. the series covers their lives and their relationship and makes a number of controversial allegations about other members of the royal family and the media. a trailer for it was issued early in the week as part of a build—up to the first episodes of the programme being released on thursday. here's clive myrie introducing part of the trailer on the news at ten.

no—one knows the full truth. we know the full truth. the words of prince harry in a new trailer for his and meghan markle's six—part series, which starts on thursday on netflix. there's a hierarchy of the family. you know, there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories. there was a war against meghan to suit other people's agendas. i it's about hatred. it's about race. it's a dirty game. the pain and suffering of women i marrying into this institution. i this feeding frenzy. i realised they're never going to protect you. i was terrified. i didn't want history to repeat itself. no—one knows the full truth. we know the full truth. jeanne hudson from wiltshire was watching bbc news in barbados and was not happy. i'm deeply shocked

and disgusted to see an advertisement for a netflix programme made by the duke and duchess of sussex on the bbc news. this is not news. it is promoting a moneymaking venture by people who've chosen to leave the united kingdom, apparently in search of privacy and safety. the bbc should not be promoting a commercial enterprise or this or any kind. it is not news. many other viewers who contacted us agreed. neil marshall in sellafield emailed. lorraine ryan told us: yvonne duffy said:

we received many similar messages, so we asked the bbc for a comment. they gave us this statement: do let us know your thoughts on that or on any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. now for some of your other concerns this week. one of the big political stories of the past two weeks has been allegations about baroness michelle mone. we've received a number of emails from viewers asking why bbc news did not cover the story for several days after it first appeared in the guardian. baroness mone, who was made a conservative member of the house of lords in 2015, has been accused of benefiting from a company after recommending it for a contract

to supply ppe during the covid pandemic. lady mone denies any wrongdoing and has taken a leave of absence from the house of lords, saying she will clear her name. the conservative party has withdrawn the whip, meaning she is no longer a member while the claim is investigated. david fuller sent us an email: ..he wanted to know. ..wrote philip. pete thomas said: well, bbc news delayed covering the story for legal reasons. we asked them for a statement explaining their approach.

the deaths of a number of children from strep a infections in recent weeks has received a lot of coverage on bbc news outlets this week. parents who are concerned about their children having symptoms such as a high temperature, sore throat, a rash and muscle aches can consult their gp to see if antibiotics are required. that's because the disease is caused by bacteria. this was clive myrie reading part of a bbc story about strep a on the news at ten. downing street is urging parents to be on the lookout for symptoms but says the nhs is well prepared. john burton, who is a retired doctor, wrote in from thornhill in dumfries and galloway. he'd been watching that coverage and thought we were showing

the wrong pictures. he informed us that not all bacteria look the same under the microscope. thank you, dr burton, for letting us know. and we've passed that information on. now to the perennial complaint about football taking over news. the end is in sight. the men's world cup final takes place on december 18. many of you will be cheering, others groaning. last week, richard burgess, the director of news content here at the bbc, came onto the programme to answer your questions about the extent and the tone of coverage on bbc news bulletins. but that, of course, was before england made the quarterfinals. their victory over senegal on sunday, and anticipation of this saturday's forthcoming match with france brought more viewer complaints about world cup reporting. here was rita chakrabarti presenting the news at one on monday. england's men's footballers are

gearing up for their world cup quarterfinal after an impressive victory last night over senegal. they won 3—0 in doha to set up a last eight match against france, who are the defending champions, on saturday. a spinning ball of emails carved into the top left corner of the newswatch inbox. cathy corbett was mystified on monday: chris mitchell was counting the minutes: linda white said the match was fantastic: peter pollard

had thought it was all over but realises it isn't now. well, we've given all your comments a thorough airing before bbc news editors. the rest is up to them. just a week or so left anyway. finally, praise for bbc news regarding a long—running issue about london versus the regions when it comes to news deployments. david spencer phoned in from the east midlands and left us this kind message. i phoned up some weeks ago about the extra cost by using outside people on reports. this morning, you were at derby on breakfast television and this time, lo and behold, it was an east midlands reporterfrom nottingham. thank you for listening and for helping to reduce

the cost of news. it was brilliant to see our local man on national television. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media email newswatch at bbc.co.uk or you can find us on twitter at newswatch bbc. you can call us on 037016676 and do have a look at our web. bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye.

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. england's footballers prepare for their toughest test — they'll play defending champions france for a place in the world cup semi—finals later this evening. a very good morning from dell hell where the atmosphere is building ahead of england's match with translator. it is the quarterfinal many had predicted when the world cup draw was made. the toughest test yet for england and they hope that their world cup journey will continue. another child dies from invasive strep a, bringing the total to 16 since september. the blind farmer breaking down barriers for more disabled people to work in the agricultural industry.

and we'll catch up with the presenters stepping into graham norton's shoes for thejunior eurovision contest which takes place this weekend. good morning. a bitterly cold weekend for the majority with warnings again this morning of ice and snow. it is foggy out there as well, that freezing fog is likely to linger. i'll have more detail in around 15 minutes. it's saturday 10th december. england's footballers face their toughest test of the world cup so far when they play the defending champions, france, in qatar this evening. manager, gareth southgate, says his players are ready to "fight" for a place in the semi—finals. harry kane has insisted there is more belief among the squad at this tournament than during the last world cup four years ago, when england made it to the final four. john is in doha for us this morning.

then are a lot of excited fans. good morning, john. yes, good morning. the atmosphere here building in doha. of england fans starting to gather here this morning ahead of that match with france. a lot of moroccan fans we have seen in full voice ahead of their match against portugal. we saw huge drama last night with argentina coming through their match, brazil have gone out. both of those settled with penalties. in a tournament of so many twists and turns last night, penalties could come into play for england later against france as we have been saying. the toughest match of their world cup so far. how will they fare? we know it is always stressful, the nerves will be jangling as they prepare to face france later. you just wonder, in a

world cup of so many twists and turns, how the but this one will play out? fans touching down in doha with england in touching distance of the semi—finals. let's just get in there and let's get singing and get it going before they even come out. and then hopefully we have that 12th man. really excited. it's my first world cup game. it's going to be awesome. a world away from the winter weather back home, england's players have been keeping cool at their team hotel ahead of their toughest test yet in the. it's been a long time since england faced france at a world cup. england, having qualified - through the back door, might yet climb up the front steps. it was spain, 1982. yeah, i remember coming home from school. i was a big fan of bryan robson and he scored after 27 seconds. well, there's a header in there and a great. chance for the first goal is there. bryan robson. that game, the two goals

he scored in particular sort of caused me to fall in love with england football and england in world cups for definite. as the holders, the french fans have been in full voice here in doha. and should it go to penalties, the mind games have already started. french goalkeeper hugo lloris taking on tottenham team mate harry kane. harry has the ability to shoot anywhere so he can be on my right, on my left, in the middle. he is one of the best probably on this aspect of the game. it's here at england's training base, they've been continuing their preparations ahead of this must win game. the players are looking relaxed, but the stakes have been raised with just three matches now standing between them and what would be an historic world cup win.

and they're not the only ones to take centre stage. the squad received a visit from robbie williams, who was performing in doha this week. he did a few songs for us and had a sit down and a chat and a bit of dinner and stuff, and he made a fewjokes about obviously the younger players may not know his songs and stuff like that because he's getting on a bit! i'm robbie williams. i'm at the england i camp with the lads. how lucky am i? he was brilliant. it was a really good vibe around the place last night and just what we needed. everyone had smiles on their faces. now, can england deliver their own show stopping performance to keep this world cup dream alive? being at training yesterday, was stood out most is just how relaxed these england players looked. they were laughing, joking. he would not have thought that they are standing on the cusp of reaching a semi final of a world cup and the pressure and distress that comes with it. you can see this morning, some of the

england fans are gathering down here. lots of them posing for photographs. we've seen some flags up photographs. we've seen some flags up as we gear up for the huge match to come later. all the nerves that are going to come with it, we've heard of moroccan vice in full voice. this is where the atmosphere is building, one of the main places where the fans get together. we saw the drama didn't we, brazil going out, argentina marching on, england against holders france, morocco against holders france, morocco against portugal. this is where the stakes are raised. how will england fail later? tough one to call. full atmosphere there. thank you very much. a sixteenth child has died with a suspected infection of the invasive strain of strep a. the child was a secondary school pupil in east sussex. specialists from the uk health security agency are working with brighton and hove council and the child's school to keep parents informed,

but say that serious complications from the bug remain rare. simonjones reports. a school in morning, the local council says everyone at this school will be deeply affected by the tragic loss of a young life. it is stressing debt from strep a remain extremely rare. since september, 16 children have died, iii extremely rare. since september, 16 children have died, 1a in england, one in wales and one in northern ireland. most infections are relatively mild, the symptoms to look around for and in the early stages, a sore throat causing a lot of pain and discomfort, high fever, swollen glands. those affected can develop a rash like sandpaper. if a child turns floppy, turns blue or has difficulty breathing, the advice is to call 999 immediately. this man's 18 medals and is recovering in hospital. he man's 18 medals and is recovering in hosital. ., , man's 18 medals and is recovering in hosital. . , ., .,, hospital. he was diagnosed with strep throat _

jenny hill went to visit one such group, whose self—declared independent kingdom in the east of germany even has its own currency. deep in the german countryside, an invisible border. we're stepping into the self—proclaimed kingdom of germany, and i've come to meet the king. a sign on the door tells us we're now temporarily his subjects. peter i, as he likes to be known, has minted his own currency, made his own laws and recruited around 5,000 citizens. why? translation: the german system is fascism and satanism. people who are corrupt, criminal or willing to be used thrive in it, and those with an honest heart who want to change the world for the better, for the common good, don't have a chance.

the kingdom is expanding, buying up land, building outposts. we visited one of its newest colonies. we're told about 30 people live here. they don't pay german taxes, won't send their children to school, plan their own healthcare system. and they don't observe german law. benjamin, who speaks for the community, lives here with his young family. translation: if someone lives on german territory, of course he is subject to its laws. that's fine. but if someone has practically no connection to germany and spends his life in the kingdom, then our laws apply. the people we have been speaking to are known as reichsburger, "citizens of the reich". the name may sound familiar. just a few days ago, several reichsburger were arrested for allegedly planning the violent overthrow of the german government. the people we have met

in the kingdom of germany say they have no violent intentions. nevertheless, the country's intelligence agencies say they do represent a threat, because they peddle conspiracy theory and extremist ideology. not true, says the king. but he's found a new audience — those who deny covid, reject the vaccine. and he's planning a tv channel. many dismissed reichsburger — the kingdom of germany was a bit of a joke. germany is learning to take them seriously. jenny hill, bbc news, eibenstock. if you pop outside here in salford, you will see a wintry scene. there is some snow, sleet, snow, i'm not sure. it is wet snow. but it is very

cold outside. it looks beautiful when you look up into the lights and see the snow coming down. i don't think it is a dissimilar picture. this is cheshire. we are not too far away from where you are at the moment. we've got some snow coming down. then are warnings out for snow and for ice. we've got some freezing fog. if you think it has been cold already, it'll be even colder this weekend. the snow is falling quite steadily as you can see here across scotland, across northern, central and eastern areas. into parts of northern ireland. there is your area wintry weather. it is sleety but it is over the north wales mountains and into snowdonia. we have a bit of snow falling across the meuse in the south and west. there are the main arteries that we have a hard frost elsewhere. that freezing fog which will be so reluctant to clear in

some areas, the wind is light, there is nothing to move it on. the december sunshine is weak as we will see some. where we keep that mist and fog, prevalence in the east of england at the moment, a few degrees at best. some of this i was right on the coast will be mostly rain. then we've got the wintry weather in the north overnight putting into northern england. we will have the wintry showers continuing the step further snow showers in the north and under the clearing skies, as we have seen overnight, the coldest night of the year so far since march. minus seven again tonight but is more widespread mist and freezing fog which causes an ice risk in itself. it will be very reluctant to clear tomorrow. after that cold start, minus four, tomorrow, temperatures will barely arise. it will be dull as well where we have that low cloud just lifting from that low cloud just lifting from that fog into low cloud. look at the

temperatures tomorrow. for most of us, they will be temperatures of just a few degrees celsius. it will be quite grim because it is cloudy as well. the complication tomorrow and overnight, potentialfor low and overnight, potential for low pressure and overnight, potentialfor low pressure in the south so that could bring in some wintry weather, sleet and snow into south—eastern parts. later tomorrow and into tomorrow night but nevertheless that could give us a light smattering of snow as what we're seeing in the west. wherever you see showers this weekend, they will fall as sleet and snow. another bitterly night tomorrow night. perhaps not the minus six because we got there freezing fog but it will feel very cold indeed. many of us will be spending time with family and friends this christmas, but despite the festivities, there are people for whom this time of year is one of the loneliest. two californian filmmakers have made a movie,

focusing on what they see as the growing pandemic of loneliness. it features people from across the world, including the united states, canada and here in the uk, asjoanne writtle reports. and i have been lonely. ijust managed to pull myself up and start again. but, oh, yes, i know what it's like to be lonely. 11 years ago, lynne west's husband, john, died suddenly of a heart attack aged 7a. neighbours in the shropshire village of marton rallied round, but four years later she moved to shrewsbury for a fresh start, joining an exercise class. i think when you went out somewhere and you were with lots of people, and you can be with lots of people, but you can still be lonely, it was when i went home. i went into an empty house. the isolated and lonely are the invisible in this world. a film about loneliness featuring people from america and shropshire, features a usually outgoing lynne volunteering as a telephone buddy

for age uk, calling lonely people for a chat. it was good because it brought to light the problems of being lonely, and that's why i'd like to encourage other people that i've been like that. i have come on. and i've tried very hard. and loneliness isn'tjust some mildly unpleasant... the film premiered at the old market hall in shrewsbury. it was masterminded by filmmakers stu maddocks and joe appelbaum from san francisco. as we were looking at different stories, we found some - in very remote areas. we found some in very urban areas like new york or london. _ and then we found stories happening i here in shropshire that really kind i of are very relatable to other. communities around the world. it's the largest inland rural county, i believe, just the distance between people. they found contributors through age uk.

what i really like is it gives some solutions as well. so it gives examples of things that people do to bring themselves out of that loneliness. what we want to do is make this the launch point for community screenings around the country. so if anybody knows of a community that would like to bring this film to them, that's what we do. we're social impact filmmakers where we hope to spark a conversation. and lynn, who has a loving family and friends, has come a long way, and she's movingly honest. i talked to his photographs. you know, that that keeps him alive. i, i know he's not here, but he is still here. i can still feel him here. we're joined now by alex hoskyn, founder of the chatty cafe scheme and also by jacinta ashdown from age concern. good morning to you. i am fascinated by this cafe. what made you think at

into agriculture for people with disabilities. it was set up by mike duxbury, who lost his sight when he was six and believes he's the only blind farmer in britain. nicola hasler has been to meet him. this is how mike duxbury sees his farm. through a series of carefully designed memory aides that tell him where he is. the only blind farmer in britain, mike has a point to prove — that disability is not a hindrance to working in agriculture. blindness and everything else aside, ijust wanted to be a farmer. i put all the fences up. i built the barn behind me. you know, i do and do and keep doing. and to me, it'sjust the best life ever. you know, i'm doing what i always dreamt. not many people get to where they dreamed to be. and finally, i'm there. mike wanted to share his

dream with young people who have their own additional needs. and since the farm opened a year ago, students from milton keynes college have been coming here to get valuable hands—on experience. so every pig that comes on the farm has to be identified. inside his ear has got some raised veins. i always go for the second, the middle two veins. and place the gun. he's helping us to learn for the future and to be confident. he's a nice man to work with. the first time i came here, i was nervous, shy. then me and mike, like a bond together. proud as punch. makes everything we've planned, all worthwhile.

you know, to somebody like leona, adam, they've all come along and they're all learning something. well, agriculture is one of the industries least likely to employ people with any kind of disability. but this working farm wants to try and change that by offering students the skills to start their careers. somebody else can have a go. the first year was really strange. i never worked with any of the animals before, and when i got used to it, i had more confidence in myself doing it. really what we've got to do is show the world what disabled people can do. so if they can get students in and they came out with certificates, then we can demonstrate to the world around us, don'tjust shut the door on people, give them a chance. mike wants to take on students with disabilities from more schools and colleges, but he needs funding to expand his farm and his vision

of a more equal world. it isa it is a very inspiring story. and you can manifestly see the impact he is having. we're talking nativities today and lots of you have been sending in photos... thanks to leah for sending this photo in of her ten—year—old daughter, dressed as the grinch for her school's christmas production. mel has sent this in of her seven—year—old triplets, lily, ella and isla playing the parts of the shepherd, the angel and mary.

if you're only going to get there in time for the match, it is the same length, seven till around a quarter to 11. i length, seven till around a quarter to ii. i was really turning it into an evening of football, so ijust wanted to put something on for those who didn't want football, because thatis who didn't want football, because that is not people probably watching this now, who are not a bit sick of football, people who are just not into the game, or who are just not into the game, or who are just not into the game, a royal baby had too much of it, or people who don't want to watch england, for example. it is to watch england, for example. it is a aood to watch england, for example. it is a good point- _ to watch england, for example. it is a good point- -- _ to watch england, for example. it is a good point- -- or— to watch england, for example. it is a good point. —— or people who have had too much of it, or people who don't want to watch england. i will not tell you who i want to win otherwise people won't bite my records any more. i will be sat with the band, enjoying the match, it is impossible for me to get involved in

football, because with jackie not being on the tour, i have got to look after my throat. throwing compliments or insults at the football screen an hour or so before i go on stage is not a good idea. i will be keeping quiet. you have done lots of gigs over the years. the idea of coming on and doing a performance if england have just, should i say it, it could happen, england could lose, in terms of atmosphere, that is not great, is it? not exactly what you want. no, but in fairness to the age of my audience, they have seen england lose before. that's what i would see. most of them in their 40s and 505, perhaps a little bit younger sos, perhaps a little bit younger than me. it is not going to be the first time they have lost. plus, there is genuinely an optimism in this camp, and goodwill towards the players. i cannot imagine an

evening where southgate and his players would have let england down. i think that would lead to a slightly, sour atmosphere, a bit of despondency. going by the performances so far, i think most people, even if it was a narrow loss, they would be in an ok mood. how is jackie? she loss, they would be in an ok mood. how is jackie?— how is jackie? she has voice problems? _ how is jackie? she has voice problems? she _ how is jackie? she has voice problems? she has. - how is jackie? she has voice problems? she has. she - how is jackie? she has voice problems? she has. she did| how is jackie? she has voice - problems? she has. she did the first three concerts with ours, and then noticed her voice wasn't right and had a bit of a sore throat. she has now seen a dr, she has been seeing a dr throughout, saw a specialist yesterday morning, who has advised her to rest for six weeks. he has had a proper look, a prognosis, she has to rest and get herself better.

we offices send her our best. it wasn't so long ago that you too are joining us on the sofa, having a chat, how is the show going to be different in terms of that? people love jackie's voice. yes, she has a great voice, a great stage presence, and it has been difficult to replace. we have got a couple of lads in the band who are very happy to dry and replace parts here and there. we have just played the songs. i have sung rotterdam, and a couple of others, and pete the drummer, chris the basis, have covered different parts. it is less of a thing, the songs do miss her, but the audience are happy to see people dry and replace her and have a little girl. it has been great, but that's not to underplay jackie's involvement normally.

paul, you have a long day ahead of you, have we woke a new unusually early? i have got up early for you. i am the sort of person who puts the tv on and watches you through one eye, if there is something i fancy watching i watch it. i normally get up watching i watch it. i normally get up early because i have three young daughters, but on tour i tend to have a later at night and a later morning, i would have a later at night and a later morning, iwould probably have a later at night and a later morning, i would probably be getting up morning, i would probably be getting up round about now, going down to breakfast, heading over to manchester and a couple of hours. i take that as a beautiful south 100% endorsement of bbc breakfast. ioo% endorsement of bbc breakfast. yes. i always have you on. i miss you when i am not in the studio. i put you on in the hotel room instead. we have got more time for this interview all of a sedan. paul can have as much time as he wants. good

luck. thank you so much. lots of people are grateful that you have taken the time to rearrange stuff to dry to think of everyone. thank you. 0k. thank you. ok. also, it is true what paul is saying, we are mindful in our coverage. there are people for whom england against france in the world cup is not the biggest thing in the world. today it is leading our abilities because the game is tonight. but for some people, the day is not set around that. we try and take that into account as well. the operations centre at the east of england ambulance service deals with more than 3,000 calls a day. it takes an average of more than an hour for an ambulance to get to urgent cases like heart attack and stroke patients. it is the worst performing trust in england. staff say they've received death threats following ambulance delays and have been telling us what it's like to work at hospital a&e departments in norwich. ambulance emergency.

is the patient breathing? any closer resources able to clear and assist, please contact control. ok, tell me exactly what's happened. this 78—year—old lady, is covid positive. has he ever had a severe allergic reaction to the same or similar thing before? yeah, roger that. no worries. leave it with me. i'll try and get something to you as soon as i can. obviously, if anything changes, give me a shout back. i'm right here if you need me, just stay on the line. i'm melissa. i'm a senior call handlerfor the east of england ambulance service. i started in the middle of the pandemic, so end of march 2020. previously, i was cabin crew foran airline, so i knew that the job was actually going to come to an end. personally, i've always wanted to help people. it will be the next available resource as soon as we can. the demand hasjust gone up and up and up. it isn't out of the ordinary to give three hour delays for someone who's

got chest pain. but higher delays even than that. the boards changed, it's surge white. we are at the moment on surge level white which is the highest escalation of care. we are telling people we can't respond to you because we have got such a high demand on the service. we have to just be very careful not to overcommit and under—deliver because there couldn't be anything more heartbreaking than going, "oh "yeah, yeah, we'rejust around the corner, we're two minutes away," and then there's a massive diversion or they break down and then it's an extra 20 minutes. ok, no worries. are you guys happy to approach with caution? my name is chantelle. i'm a dispatcher for east of england ambulance service. i've been doing this almost ten years. this is a category one call for a young female that's pregnant and currently unconscious. so that's approximately 30 minutes, maybe 40 minutes, depending on traffic. the delays are massive a lot of the time. and with the demand after covid picking up, that's when the delays

at the hospital started. so that's become quite a big part of our crews being stuck at the hospitals for significant periods of time. so this is all the ambulance crews and the ongoing calls in our control room area at the moment. and i currently have 46 ambulances on duty that i'm looking after. i've been called some horrible things. i want to stab you. i know where you live. i know who you are. i know where to find you. i know it sounds really... it goes straight over my head. sometimes when people don't want to listen, they don't know who they're speaking to and they don't really care who they're speaking to, so it's not personal. and you have to let some things go because sometimes if you don't, you wouldn't, you wouldn't do it. they're there, are they? i'll leave you with the crew. well done and take care. i had someone actually write in and thank me

for everything i did. his father actually passed away. he took that time to do that. even though they were going through grief, they took that time to write and say thank you. and that means so much. we don't always get the outcome that we want to, but knowing that we've done the best that we can, it feels really good. thank you to melissa and chantelle for letting us into that world and seeing the work that they do. and the story of the ambulance waiting times and the real problems they face, those are the numbers, these are facts of the real problems. when we keep it directly

from them, they are individuals doing the best they can against all sorts of difficult circumstances. are you or a family member finding it hard to get the nhs care you need? we'd like to hear your stories as part of our nhs under pressure series. it's just five months until the eurovision song contest is held in liverpool, but if you have eurovision fever get ready for the junior version, that's taking place in armenia tomorrow. for the first time the show is being broadcast on the bbc. we'll talk to presenters lauren layfield and harvey in a moment, but first let's hear the uk's entry.

in the semi—finals. harry kane has insisted there is more belief among the squad at this tournament than during the last world cup four years ago, when england made it john is in doha for us this morning. you have been catching up with fans, there are four teams playing today, let's not forget that, you have been catching up with fans who have been excited and positive and optimistic. they have been making their voices heard, those moroccan fans, hoping to be the first african nation to reach the semifinals. and then we having those taking on the holders france for a place in the semifinals. it won't be lost on some of the players nor gareth southgate the two—time previously england have played france at the world cup, they won on both occasions, one was back in 1966 and we all remember what

happened then. being here this morning gives you a sense of how the atmosphere is building and the nerves is building as we edge ever closer to kick—off later. fans touching down in doha with england in touching distance of the semi—finals. let's just get in there and let's get singing and get it going before they even come out. and then hopefully we have that 12th man. really excited. it's my first world cup game. it's going to be awesome. a world away from the winter weather back home, england's players have been keeping cool at their team hotel ahead of their toughest test yet in the. it's been a long time since england faced france at a world cup. england, having qualified - through the back door, might yet climb up the front steps. it was spain, 1982. yeah, i remember coming home from school. i was a big fan of bryan robson and he scored after 27 seconds. well, there's a header

in there and a great. chance for the first goal is there. bryan robson. that game, the two goals he scored in particular sort of caused me to fall in love with england football and england in world cups for definite. as the holders, the french fans have been in full voice here in doha. and should it go to penalties, the mind games have already started. french goalkeeper hugo lloris taking on tottenham team mate harry kane. harry has the ability to shoot anywhere so he can be on my right, on my left, in the middle. he is one of the best probably on this aspect of the game. it's here at england's training base, they've been continuing their preparations ahead of this must win game. the players are looking relaxed,

but the stakes have been raised with just three matches now standing between them and what would be an historic world cup win. and they're not the only ones to take centre stage. the squad received a visit from robbie williams, who was performing in doha this week. he did a few songs for us and had a sit down and a chat and a bit of dinner and stuff, and he made a fewjokes about obviously the younger players may not know his songs and stuff like that because he's getting on a bit! i'm robbie williams. i'm at the england i camp with the lads. how lucky am i? he was brilliant. it was a really good vibe around the place last night and just what we needed. everyone had smiles on their faces. now, can england deliver their own show stopping performance to keep this world cup dream alive? robbie williams bringing a bit of excitement to the england camp this week. lovely pictures there of the last time england played france at a world cup back in 1982. for so long, england fans have watched their

nation playing in a world cup and the reminders of all those near misses that have gone before. what was so striking about being at england's training yesterday was just how relaxed this england team seem to be. they were laughing, joking, they were smiling, they didn't look as if they were a team battling it out for a place in the semifinals of the world cup. we talk about some of those near misses. it is interesting how that team is using it as fuel. you think about losing the semifinals four years ago and defeat at the european championship final last summer when they went out on penalties. that is what is gareth southgate is using to motivate the players and this belief those are the steps of the road and potentially going one step further and reaching the world cup final and even winning it after such a long time. it is that belief, isn't it, as fans you have this feeling is thatis as fans you have this feeling is that is never going to happen. the players have this belief, there is a changing mood within the england

camp and i think that was seen and played out of some of those smiles and relaxed nature of those players at training yesterday. we know it is nerve—racking, a lot of these fans gathering here ahead of their matters later, their respective nations playing in the quarterfinal matches to come, we know how nerve—racking it is, watching england as fans we are put through the wringer. perhaps some of that coolness, calmness that is coming from gareth southgate and his team, perhaps a little bit of that will rub off on us throughout the day to day. back with you later on. the time now is 907. a sixteenth child has died with a suspected infection of the invasive strain of strep a. the child was a secondary school pupil in east sussex. specialists from the uk health security agency are working with brighton and hove council and the child's school to keep parents better informed, but say that serious complications from the bug remain rare. simonjones reports.

a school in mourning, the local council says everyone at hove park school will be deeply affected by the tragic loss of a young life. it is stressing that deaths from strep a remain extremely rare. since september, 16 children have died, 11; in england, one in wales and one in northern ireland. most infections are relatively mild, the symptoms to look around for are, in the early stages, a sore throat causing a lot of pain and discomfort when eating or drinking, a high fever, muscle aches and swollen glands. those affected can develop a rash like sandpaper. if a child turns floppy, turns blue or has difficulty breathing, the advice is to call 999 immediately. david whiteway�*s18—month—old son is recovering in hospital. he's been quite ill. he was diagnosed with strep throat and he's got early onset pneumonia. after three visits to the gp, they advised we went to a&e because it wasn't getting any better. they saw him, he has been

through x—rays and he's got the drugs he needs and he's responded really well over night. early treatment with antibiotics will in most cases reduce the risk of complications and the spread of the bug. it is only on rare occasions that the bacteria can get deeper into the body requiring urgent treatment. the uk health security agency says that there is no evidence of a new strain is circulating and the rise in cases is due to the high amounts of bacteria around as well as increased social mixing. the "reichsburger" movement in germany was catapulted into the headlines this week, after 25 members and their leader were arrested in co—ordinated raids by anti—terror police. accused of plotting to overthrow the government with violence, they're part of a growing number of people in germany who refuse to accept the country's post—war government as legitimate. jenny hill went to visit one such group, whose self—declared independent kingdom in the east of germany even has its own currency.

deep in the german countryside, an invisible border. we're stepping into the self—proclaimed kingdom of germany, and i've come to meet the king. a sign on the door tells us we're now temporarily his subjects. peter i, as he likes to be known, has minted his own currency, made his own laws and recruited around 5,000 citizens. why? translation: the german system is fascism and satanism. people who are corrupt, criminal or willing to be used thrive in it, and those with an honest heart who want to change the world for the better, for the common good, don't have a chance. the kingdom is expanding, buying up land, building outposts.

we visited one of its newest colonies. we're told about 30 people live here. they don't pay german taxes, won't send their children to school, plan their own healthcare system. and they don't observe german law. benjamin, who speaks for the community, lives here with his young family. translation: if someone lives on german territory, of course he is subject to its laws. that's fine. but if someone has practically no connection to germany and spends his life in the kingdom, then our laws apply. the people we have been speaking to are known as reichsburger, "citizens of the reich". the name may sound familiar. just a few days ago, several reichsburger were arrested for allegedly planning the violent overthrow of the german government. the people we have met in the kingdom of germany say they have no violent intentions. nevertheless, the country's intelligence agencies say

they do represent a threat, because they peddle conspiracy theory and extremist ideology. not true, says the king. but he's found a new audience — those who deny covid, reject the vaccine. and he's planning a tv channel. many dismissed reichsburger — the kingdom of germany was a bit of a joke. germany is learning to take them seriously. jenny hill, bbc news, eibenstock. the time is 0912. this morning, menu view have been waking up to snow. eileen woke up to snow in billinge, on merseyside. the north of england, are having snow. this is maureen's view outside of her window in chorley, lancashire.

i want more joy would you want and watching a springer spaniel bounding around in the snow? and this is springer spaniel, sheldon, playing in the snow in horwich, bolton. thanks to owner ben for sending in that video. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. this picture is about an hour ago. this picture is about an hour ago. this is in fife. we are seeing quite a lot of snow showers coming in across northern and eastern scotland as well as your neck of the words and across the south—west. it is pretty nippy out there. we have had the lowest temperature recorded since last march. the coldest night of the year so far and the season. minus nine degrees. but in many areas it is bitterly cold. it will be even colder this weekend with the prevalence of freezing fog was lifting into low cloud and stopping

those temperatures from getting above freezing in places. this is the rainfall and snow. it is a snow falling now into the central lowlands, just a few wintry flows in northern ireland but here is the mass of snow coming in across the north of england into the cheshire plains and the south—west of england, pressing into the south of wales as well. a slight covering of snow in these areas, very icy. the fog i've talked about, we've got thick fog, freezing fog in some eastern areas in particular and that it may linger all day at this time of year. that is know when to move it on anderson is very weak. temperature wise, underneath that cloud, freezing to 1 degrees. western fringes getting at around four, five and six. those temperatures are lower than what we have been used to. they will be lower tomorrow. overnight, while warnings of ice and snow, further ice showers across northern and

eastern areas. perhaps a few along the south coast, another really cold nights with a hard frost out and about. perhaps not as hard in the south and that is because we are expecting that fog. it will affect more parts of england and wales particularly tomorrow. there's a chance we could see something wintry putting in the north and east. some wintry sunshine but for england and wales an awful lot of cloud, particularly across central and eastern parts. look at those temperatures. they are going to struggle. colder still. temperatures. they are going to struggle. colderstill. overnight struggle. colder still. overnight tomorrow, struggle. colderstill. overnight tomorrow, they have not got to job very far those temperatures. they will just go very far those temperatures. they willjust go down again. ice becomes a race. there is a bit of wintry weather coming into the south and east. quite a lot of uncertainty about that. please do stay tuned to the forecast for the details of where that snow is coming. another bitterly cold start to our day on

monday morning without added complication of freezing fog making it icy and where we have had the showers. look into the forecast next week, it looks like that cold air is here to stay and we get a bracing went back again by wednesday. unfortunately, we are going to keep this bitterly cold weather by day and night with temperatures struggling by day as well. more on the website. parcel delivery scams are very common at this time of year. you might receive a text or email appearing to be from a courier company orfrom royal mail, suggesting that you have an unpaid shipping fee or that you've missed a parcel and need to input personal details to organise a redelivery. it can be really easy to fall victim to this type of scam, so how how can we protect ourselves? let's speak to harry kind from consumer rights website, which?.

was the brazilian superstar, neymar, taking centre stage in their match against croatia. he is going out. his opposite number, lionel messi is progressing keeping his chance of winning a first world cup alive as they came past the netherlands. both matches going to a penalty shoot—out, both ending in dramatic circumstances. what does the world cup really mean? such a simple game. it can mean so much to so many, played by the world's best on the biggest stage. sometimes all you can do is pray. marquinhos has to beat la markovic or brazil are out of the world cup and he hasn't done it. croatia have yet again. from doha to dubrovnik, zagreb and beyond. a miss that meant so much to croatia and brazil. in truth, their game had little in the way of spark. not until extra time. neymar.

that's what we've been waiting for. but can croatia refused to be cowed and promptly clawed level withjust three minutes remaining, sending the game, you know where. first rodrigo was denied by the flawless dominic novakovic before marquinhos moments of misery. brazil came to qatar with the carnival, the colour, the calypso. they leave quiet crestfallen.

we said farewell to name our but lionel messi, acccept no imitation, for the real thing. he might not have scored it, but i tell you what, lionel messi made it. the dutch, though, wanted to write a different story rising from the ashes. this was argentina's night. it could now well be their world cup to win. and maybe, just maybe, a crowning glory for this man's career. what does the world cup mean? ask a few south americans in qatar. they'll tell you it means everything. how would you nerves be if it goes to penalties later for england? i didn't look last time. we have got a good chance without

we got a little weather update from mike there, from chichester. when in doubt out of a window here, we don't have a window in the studio, but if we did look out the window, it is snow out there. i know. snow and fog in norfolk. we have the entire wintry mix at the moment. if you think it has been cold this week, it will be even colder to this weekend and into next week. we had a coldest night of the year so far. we have had the snow. the reason this is colder, the freezing cold will limit our temperatures from rising through the day. you can see with the snow is, central scotland, moving into northern england. inland, we are

seeing that snow. across the cheshire plains, manchester, lancashire, some snow. one or two flatties in north and south wales, and ice is obviously a concern through the day. temperatures will stay at freezing, it will not melt, it is so cold out there has not then have that fog across central and eastern areas. a lingering for of the day. the continued risk of snow flurries in a northern and western areas. look at those temperatures. one or two celsius for most, in the west, a little higher. a few showers near the south coast. that will come into play through tomorrow. tonight, further wintry showers. ice risk. more widely, freezing fog. temperatures neck and then wales might not get quite as low as this morning, but temperatures will not

rise to match, a grey and a dull day for more areas across england and wales. brighterskies for more areas across england and wales. brighter skies further north but watch out for a freezing ford. more wintry flurries. perhaps later on, some wintry weather, southern and eastern areas, low pressure sitting in the channel. look at the temperatures by day tomorrow. a frost lingering where we have the fog, and where we have snow now lying as well. it is going to be colder still. this fly in the ointment as well, potentially bringing snow showers into southern and eastern areas, through tomorrow evening and overnight, ice risk becomes more widespread as we go through the night time periods, and temperatures drop widely below freezing once again. perhaps again, not such a sharp frost, that is only because we have got a lot of mist and low cloud and freezing fog,

which will be in issue for monday and tuesday. by wednesday, a bracing northerly wind back, the wind chill becomes an issue as well, and probably more snow showers, snow showers becoming more frequent in the north and east. a very wintry picture. as ever, there are warnings. more details on our website. but it is icy out there. here is your opportunity. pantomime seasonis here is your opportunity. pantomime season is under way. you have caught me out. yes, it is. one more time. helen, panto season is under way. oh, no, it isn't. applause we got there in the end. take care. stay warm. we will dry our best. it is under way. despite what helen said. that was not fear. there is demand
