3:01 pm
in bbc sitcom hi—de—hi. parts of the uk have been warned to expect severe conditions this weekend. manchester airport have just reopened their runways after closing them today due to �*heavy snow�*. in qatar, the first game of the day has just got under way at the world cup, as morocco play portugal. it's taking place while the england team are preparing to play france, for a place in the last 4 of the men's football world cup. they take on the reigning champions this evening, in the quarter finals of the tournament in qatar. for more, here's our sports correspondent, natalie pirks. it's not quite the big one. but when the undercard played out in doha this morning... that's an england ball, isn't it?
3:02 pm
..the goals were flying in. a 7—4 victory to england over their friends from across the channel. england's a—team haven't quite found it so easy. the last two major tournaments have ended in heartbreak. it's mandzukic, is that the goal that has finished off england's world cup? but, as gareth southgate bids to become the first manager to lead england into two world cup semi—finals, he says his team are ready. some defeats that have hurt, but we've learned a lot from. and they prepare you for nights where you have got to produce the very best version of yourselves. we are ready to fight france for that place in the semifinal. so far it's been plain sailing here in qatarfor england, they have only conceded two goals and have kept consecutive clean sheets in their last three games. but the world champions bring choppier water ahead. mbappe. france have scored nine goals
3:03 pm
in qatar, with each of the last seven scored or assisted by this guy. inevitable... france are unbeaten in kylian mbappe�*s 13 starts at major tournaments. no wonder they love him. as a guy, he is incredible, - nobody can stop, they want to stop, but they can't stop. of course i don't say we will win for sure, but i think we have the biggest chances and now we have to prove it. france's individual talent undoubtedly shines, but might england boast the better team? sometimes tactics go out the window, sometimes all the training you've done goes out the window, and it comes down to a togetherness, a team spirit and that counts for a lot. that is a big difference between this generation and my generation. it's thought around 9,000 england supporters could be in the stadium tonight, so how are fans�* nerves holding out? my head may go france, my heart goes england. for every mbappe, we have got
3:04 pm
a saka, a foden, a grealish. i we are really strong, - it's a good squad and i'm confident for a 2—1win. i don't think we need to go in with an inferiority complex, i think we've got a team good enough to win the world cup. a win for england tonight would set up their third consecutive major tournament semifinal. the french might call that deja vu, england will be opening it is not au revoir. let's cross over to qatar and to the al—bayt stadium where england will face france later this evening, alex howell is there for us. hello, yes, i am hello, yes, iamjust hello, yes, i am just standing hello, yes, iamjust standing in front of the stadium where england will play france in the quarterfinal later this evening and this is becoming something of a home ground for england, the third time they will play in the stadium. the crucial difference is this is the first match they will be playing where they come into it as underdogs as they take on the world champions. gareth southgate has some selection
3:05 pm
dilemmas, as always, coming into this game, he has all 25 players available to him after raheem sterling flew back to get out to be with the team. but it's not yet clear whether he will be involved in the squad. gareth southgate said last night he still has to make a decision. harry kane was speaking yesterday and said although the team made it to the 2018 world cup semifinal, they had done i didn't truly believe they could win it, but now they do and that is because of their past results in major tournaments, gareth southgate said the way the team has performed in the way the team has performed in the last world cup and reaching the european championship final has given the team a credibility and all of that is without speaking about france attacker who many call the best player in the world and all eyes will be on that battle with kyle walker to see who comes out on top, there has been talked about as a key area that outcome, it will
3:06 pm
help decide who wins this match. morocco and portugal will have finished the game before england take to the pitch, so once england finished the match they will know hopefully who they will be playing in at the world cup semifinal. find. in at the world cup semifinal. and, alex, the build-up _ in at the world cup semifinal. and, alex, the build-up must _ in at the world cup semifinal. and, alex, the build—up must be quite exciting at the moment, what is the anticipation like head of the game? there is lots of anticipation from fans and at the moment it is still quite quiet here, the fan zone is going with the music but still a few hours from kick—off, the main talking points i have heard about whether gareth southgate will keep the team at the same. he has been praised and the england team have been praised for the way they played so far in this tournament, really exciting attacking style with the young players they have scored 12 goals and players like phil foden, sachar, have really shone in this tournament alongsidejude bellingham tournament alongside jude bellingham who tournament alongsidejude bellingham who is having a very impressive
3:07 pm
campaign so far, that has mainly beenin campaign so far, that has mainly been in the talking points. the atmosphere isn't here yet, but we are expecting around 9000 in the stadium, a memorable experience. weight thank you. let's talk to our paris correspondent hugh schofield. what is the sense of anticipation there in france?— enormous. there is no fan zone disappointingly, because it is midwinter here about everyone that you speak to is a saying what you do tonight, what you doing tonight? the bars of paris will be full and i think most people will be watching from home and think most people will be watching from hom . ., from home and we were hearing there that there have _ from home and we were hearing there that there have been _ from home and we were hearing there that there have been technically - that there have been technically france are the favourite and the last guy was talking about england as underdogs, and i am not sure that is how it seems here. if you look at past records in the last 20 years france has done much better and is a
3:08 pm
twice world cup winner, but people are very aware here of the change that has come over the english team, the change in its make—up, mood, the change in its confidence, the generalfeel change in its confidence, the general feel of change in its confidence, the generalfeel of it, the change in its confidence, the general feel of it, the change change in its confidence, the generalfeel of it, the change in its tactics, all of this make people very aware that this is a challenge, the biggest challenge, this world cup, certainly the french are confidently. but this emphasis on their main player, it is not necessarily a good thing, because it makes people think he is the golden lits, who will resolve all of our difficulty is, of course there are the players beside him. psychologically i think that this endless going on about him may not be a good thing in the end for france. . ~' , ., be a good thing in the end for france. ., ~ , ., ., ~ ., be a good thing in the end for france. ., ~ i., ., ~ ., ,., be a good thing in the end for france. ., ~ ., ~ ., france. thank you and i know you say ou france. thank you and i know you say you don't follow— france. thank you and i know you say you don't follow football _ france. thank you and i know you say you don't follow football but - france. thank you and i know you say you don't follow football but i - france. thank you and i know you say you don't follow football but i hope i you don't follow football but i hope you don't follow football but i hope you have managed to get out there and enjoy the game tonight. 0f
3:09 pm
and enjoy the game tonight. of course we will have an update on that in the sports round—up which will be on its way in a moment. the time is now three oh 8pm. at least one person is dead — and around another dozen people are missing after an explosion brought down a block of flats on jersey. the blast happened in the early hours of the morning — in the capital, st helier. jersey police say residents had reported smelling gas in the area. a warning: that this report from our correspondent, robert hall, contains footage of the explosion. it sounded like a roll of thunder according to eyewitnesses. the explosion happened on a hillside street overlooking st helier�*s harbour. this is the moment captured on a close circuit television camera on a cafe half a mile away. emergency services were on the scene within a few minutes. they found one three storey block of flats virtually demolished, with adjoining buildings on fire or badly damaged. the explosion hurled debris and glass over an area several hundred yards across.
3:10 pm
every available emergency vehicle was sent to the scene, as island authorities declared a major incident and the hospital's casualty department closed to non—urgent cases. fire crews helped some people from the area, but police confirmed that one individual had died, and that more casualties were likely. you know, it is hard to speculate, and i wouldn't want to speculate on those sorts of things. there is a reality to this, of course, and we should probably condition ourselves to that or at least consider that, but you know, i want us to be hopeful that we will start that search. but there has to be a recognition that we could have more fatalities, of course. the priority now is to begin a search of the building, but police say the site is still highly dangerous and they have sought help from hampshire fire service. meanwhile dozens of people have been evacuated to the town hall and provided with clothing, food and warmth, while efforts are under way to rehouse them as temperatures continue to fall.
3:11 pm
this is the second tragedy to hit jersey in the past few days. the island is still grieving the loss of three fishermen following a collision between their vessel and a ferry. a recovery operation is due to begin tomorrow. we all come together at the hard times, and support each other. that is what we do, and i think it is through those hard times that we really understand what it means to be a community. the cause of the explosion is unconfirmed but police are following up information that fire crews were called to the flats in the hours before the flats, following concerns about a smell of gas. a search for further victims expected to last several days. and robert hall is live for us now in st helier. robert, jersey is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, this must be a really worrying and uncertain time for the community?
3:12 pm
yes, it is and you heard the chief minister they're praising the way people have pulled together and that is certainly true, butjersey is still reeling from the loss of those fishermen and that dreadful incident isjust a fishermen and that dreadful incident is just a couple of days ago. for this to happen in the dead of night, when a lot of people would have been asleep in bed, what a dreadful thing. but the community is rallying around and people are being given at least warmth and food, while they work out how to move on from this incident. let me give you a bit of geography first, if i get chris who is on the camera today to tighten the chance to give you a sense of where we are. the road where the flats stood, is only elevated plots just above st helier�*s harbour. you have at the back a light coloured a stretch of wall, that is the site of a third block of buildings and we think that the building that has come down it contained around six
3:13 pm
individual flats but as you can also see, and was made clear by the police chief ali, the building has effectively just a police chief ali, the building has effectivelyjust a pancaked straight down as a result of the explosion, very difficult search operation for the firemen who are up there and at the firemen who are up there and at the moment as you can see, there is a bit of a weight going on because they have two, they need, extra equipment. in the last couple of hours team from hampshire fire and rescue specialist search team arrived in jersey and rescue specialist search team arrived injersey and in the next couple of hours and are chinook is due in with equipment to help those researchers begin their work. it will be very slow and obviously very delicate and there is always that glimmer of hope as the police chief said, but it is going to take some considerable time to establish whether anybody else has survived. as you say, a very challenging search operation made perhaps slightly easier now the extra resources are coming in, i is there any indication as to how long this
3:14 pm
operation will take? we any indication as to how long this operation will take?— operation will take? we are told several days _ operation will take? we are told several days and _ operation will take? we are told several days and i _ operation will take? we are told several days and i can _ operation will take? we are told l several days and i can understand that because whilst they have made it a safe, the fire is out, they have cut off gas and water supplies, nobody really knows the structure of that collapsed building and they are going to have to work their way right through it from top to bottom, that pile of rubbish and debris stop you cannot underestimate the force of this explosion, the debris was thrown hundreds of yards onto surrounding streets, that whole area is now cordoned off for safety reasons. that may be the case for a couple of days. it is going to be hard, difficult, but you can rest assured, because that is the way these things are carried out, that it will be done painstakingly. robert, thank you. in the next hour we will take you live to a press conference that is due to be happening injersey with the emergency services there to get
3:15 pm
the emergency services there to get the latest. 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. public health officials in brighton and hove says they're working with the school to inform parents and explain what to do if a child develops symptoms. most strep a infections are mild, and severe or complicated cases remain rare. services have resumed at manchester airport after dozens of dozens of flights were disrupted by snow. both runways were closed for a time this morning disrupting around 2a flights. in a statement the airport operation company said, "we are advising all passengers to check the status of their flight with their airline." the headlines on bbc news: all eyes are on whether england will beat france in their quarter—final match later today. it's the first time the two sides have played at a world cup in a0 years. one person has died and a dozen are still missing after a massive explosion in a block
3:16 pm
of flats in st helier injersey. actress ruth madoc has died aged 79. she was best known for starring in bbc sitcom hi—de—hi. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin ra mjaun. hello there — well what day we could have in store, judging by the world cup quarterfinals so far. tonight — it's england's turn — they take on the might of france... in what's their sternest test so far. let's get some more on the build up to that, aswell as the match that's underway right, with 0lly foster in doha for us. good to see you, a historic one for morocco, facing portugal and who knows what could happen judging by what we have seen so far? yes. what we have seen so far? yes, mostly from _ what we have seen so far? yes, mostly from morocco, - what we have seen so far? 1&1: mostly from morocco, knocking spain out in the last 16 on penalties. so
3:17 pm
they are into the quarterfinals, not just representing africa but it is the furthest and arab speaking nation has got as well. so they really feel they have a lot of support behind them. we think as many as 80% of the fans in the stadium will be right behind morocco. but some quite worrying scenes outside in that there were a lot of fans around kick off still outside the stadium, it looks as though the seats are filling up slowly now, but we knew this was going to happen, there were some issues around the earlier game with moroccan fans, because there was such interest from the arab world and a lot of moroccans coming into qatar without tickets, so perhaps if you ticketless fans and those with tickets not able to get in as quickly as they would like. the bigger team news from portugal is that cristiano ronaldo for the second match running dropped to the bench. rememberwe second match running dropped to the bench. remember we have an injury when he wanted out or not from the
3:18 pm
portuguese camp. the captain dropped again, the other player came in and scored a hat—trick against the swiss came in. no... morocco, a couple of big injuries them, and they will be a big miss. they are holding their own, it is goalless between morocco and portugal, the winner of this, of course, will then be waiting in the semifinals next week for the winner of... we have been talking about it a lot, england against france. that is up at the other stadium to the north of qatar. 0nlyjust 45 minutes away. we think that the french and the english will be heading that way about now. we are still a fair few hours away from kick—off but it was goalless in the first of the quarterfinals.—
3:19 pm
well away from qatar now. there are nine games in the championship today. in the lunchtime kick—off preston north end won 4—1win against lancashire rivals blackburn rovers. ched evans was on the scoresheet twice in the second half including this fine header at a snowy ewood park. ben whiteman rounded off the scoring a couple of minutes later to seal the three points. the result means that preston are now two points behind blackburn with both sides in the play—off places. the rest of the days matches are on the bbc sport website. in cricket, england will be hoping to secure their first test series win, on pakistan soil, since 2000. when play resumes in multan tomorrow morning. at the close on day 2 of the second test, england's men were 202 for 5 in their second innings — a lead of 281, after bowling the hosts out for just 202. and there was a landmark for spinnerjack leach too. as ben croucher reports. when england play cricket the game
3:20 pm
moves. at pace. this was pakistan's best batsmen setting the tone for the morning. when clarity was needed, the heads were in a spin, counterattack was attempted, 100 test wickets forjack leach, make that 101. test wickets forjack leach, make that101. nearly test wickets forjack leach, make that 101. nearly 50 now fully part—time spin, they will have seldom have come easier, replying to england's 281, fax and lost eight wickets for 60 runs and had plenty of catching up to do. how would england approach a? this is the new modern way after all. with the reward comes risk, just ask will jack's. even when route tried something a bit more orthodox, this was pulled off. the situation and the fact there is a three days left, meant england's approach is what we used to describe as a test batch
3:21 pm
democrats batting. even though bennett dug itself a 79 with harry brooke unbeaten on 74 and ben stokes still in the crease, expect england to move ever closer to a series victory tomorrow will stop. that's the sport for now, still goalless between portugal and morocco. the actress ruth madoc has died at the age of 79. he was best known for her portrayal of gladys pugh, she was best known for her portrayal of gladys pugh, in the 1980s, bbc comedy — �*hi—de—hi!�* she also appeared in the second series of �*little britain', as daffyd thomas' mother. yesterday, it was reported she'd been forced to pull out of a christmas panto after being hospitalised due to an accident earlier this week. jeffrey holland who starred as spike in "hi—de—hi!" alongside ruth madoc spoke to me about his co—star and the legacy she has left

3:25 pm
jan rachinsky told the audience that moscow�*s propaganda sought to twist russian citizens�* memory of their own country�*s past by swapping the concepts of fascism and anti—fascism. this year�*s other laureates are another human rights organisation , ukraine�*s centre for civil liberties , and the jailed belarusian rights activist, ales bialiatski. translation: we are particular grateful to the noble committee for sharing this great honour with the ukrainian centre for civil freedoms and with the brave belarusian human rights defender. this decision of the committee has great symbolic meaning for us. it underlines that state borders cannot and should not divide civil society. the fact that they are our core recipients is an added award. the highest priority is the individual human being, their life, freedoms and dignity. we reject the formula that man is nothing, the state is everything.
3:26 pm
our focus is not nothing, the state is everything. ourfocus is not on momentous historical events or on questions of a big politics, although one must examine them in order to understand the context of human destinies, more important for us other names and fates of the individuals who have become victims of criminal state policy, past and present. families who received poor care at an nhs maternity unit in nottingham are being urged to come forward to share their experience with an independent inquiry. in september, midwife donna ockenden, began examining how dozens of babies died or were injured at nottingham university hospitals trust. almost a thousand people have so far taken part in the review, but there are calls for many more to also share information, as rob sissons reports. three months in, the investigation goes on to uncover the depth and scale of failings at nottingham�*s to maternity units are stretching back at least ten years. more than 750 families have contacted the review
