this is bbc world news, i'm kasia madera. our top stories. in the last hour, france have beaten england in the quarter finals putting an end to england's world cup dreams france scored in the first half, and later harry kane equalised for england with this penalty. he's missed it! oh, my... but the england captain missed a second penalty — and france went on to win 2—1. we win and lose as a team and, you know, there were things that both ends of the pitch that decide the games. it's such fine margins when you are playing against a top team like france. we'll be live in qatar. our other main story here tonight: three people are known to have died, and about a dozen are missing after an explosion demolished a block of flats injersey.

it is, as i described this morning, a scene of utter devastation. i mean, the building has completely collapsed. it is... it doesn't even look like a building was. xylophone jingle. hello, campers. rise and shine! and ruth madoc, one of the stars of the hit 80s tv comedy hi—de—hi, has died at the age of 79. good evening. england are out of the world cup, beaten 2—1 by reigning champions france in qatar. england were awarded two penalties in the match, both taken by captain harry kane.

but he missed his second spot kick, and france went on to victory in a game of high drama. france will now play morocco, who earlier became the first african side to reach the semi—finals of a world cup. our sports editor dan roan was watching in doha. england have become accustomed to handling the pressure that surrounds such occasions, but tonight came the toughest of tests, the champions themselves. england have looked like genuine contenders in qatar but for the first time here they would face one of football's elite in a defining moment for the manager and his team. all the talk was of the merits of french superstar kylian mbappe, but the french had threats throughout, as aurelien tchouameni proved. england fell bukayo saka was

fouled in the build—up but for the first time the tournament they had fallen behind. they responded well, harry kane denied by tottenham hotspur team—mate hugo lloris. moments later the captain thought he had won a penalty after this, but var said no. kane seemingly on a one—man mission to equalise, mbappe proving he was human actual. england showed intent after the restart, the brilliance ofjude bellingham much by lloris, but then finally saka's speed was rewarded. the captain, after being made to wait, made france pay, his 53rd goalfor england drawing him with wayne rooney as the country because �*s all—time record goal—scorer. at the celebrations read to a lapse in concentration, adrien rabiot missing

here. harry maguire shaved the post but france was still a danger, pickford initially denied olivier giroud, but there was nothing he could do with the next attempt. with time running out, england were now desperate and when substitute mason mount was bundled over in the box the brazilian referee eventually awarded the penalty they demanded. for some, this was proving too much, and for kanejota a rare miss. england shell—shocked. now they needed to dig deeper than ever, well into injury time substitute marcus rashford had a free kick that had to go in. but this was france's night. england out of luck, out of time and out of the tournament they believe they could win. a18 that continues to grow, the pain of defeat so

at the beck & call pub in leeds, england supporters were in high spirits and confident of victory over the highly rated french team. it's coming home! confident, i think, as long as kyle walker can do the job on mbappe, then i think we have every chance. but that sense of early optimism was quickly tempered as france took the lead afterjust over a quarter of an hour. there was further frustration after a penalty appeal was dismissed by the video assistant referee. decisions were not going england's way. the second half began with a bang. relief and elation as harry kane struck home a penalty. the feel—good factor had returned. but the warning signs were there. first a brilliant save from jordan pickford followed by another french goal. then a second penalty for england but this time the captain lofted the ball above the bar. deflation among the fans watching here. england pressed but the french resistance held firm. a 99th minute free kick their final hope but it wasn't to be.

goodness me! it's one of them. trust me, it's not a good time. gutted, to be honest. i thought we had a chance, i thought we played way better than france did. we were the better team. kind of expected it. in the nicest way. i'm not going to lie, i did actually predict 2—1 to france. _ for the fans, what began with hope ended in disappointment. phil bodmer, bbc news, leeds. well, as we mentioned, there was a major upset earlier today when morocco knocked out portugal, becoming the first ever african team to reach the semi—finals of the world cup. our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor was watching. morocco had been this world cup�*s surprise package. the pride of a continent, but also gaining new fans along the way. meanwhile, a new—look portugal, less reliant on cristiano ronaldo —

again the centre of attention despite starting on the bench. if some fans were delayed entry because of a ticket mix—up, then those inside made up for it. the noise at times ear—splitting. and when youssef en—nesyri scored his second goal of this tournament, pandemonium. was another shock on the cards? on the stroke of half—time portugal almost equalised. bruno fernandes inches away from a wonder goal. needing an equaliser, could ronaldo provide it on international appearance number 196? so many times he has come to the rescue. but not on this occasion. commentator: it's ronaldo. what a chance. despite a late red card, morocco held on. another outstanding victory, and the fairy tale continues, while cristiano ronaldo's world cup story ends in tears. so morocco have become the first african country into the semifinal of a world cup.

history has been made. now we have the hysteria. but when will this amazing journey end? nesta mcgregor, bbc news, in doha. let's speak to our sports editor, dan roan, who's at the al—bayt stadium. for england fans there was no way around it, a really disappointing night? around it, a really disappointing niuht? ~ , ., ., night? absolutely. england have imressed night? absolutely. england have impressed in _ night? absolutely. england have impressed in qatar _ night? absolutely. england have impressed in qatar and - night? absolutely. england have impressed in qatar and they - night? absolutely. england have impressed in qatar and they are | impressed in qatar and they are entitled to file little hard and buy at what happened this evening but there is no doubt given how far this team has come recently and how many big teams have already been knocked out, given the surprise semifinalists morocco were waiting for then had england won, they will pack their bags tomorrow and prepared to go home with a great sense, i think, prepared to go home with a great sense, ithink, of prepared to go home with a great sense, i think, of missed opportunity. traditionally penalty shoot—out have caused england's grief, it is a cruel twist of fate

that it was a penalty under incredible pressure by the usually reliable harry kane which cost ben, who knows if they would have prevailed if he had mated 2—2? there will be questions about the referee, about the future of gareth southgate. he is contracted for another two years, the fa might want to to say it is time to walk away. england are improving, no doubt, they are getting closer but i think this could haunt them for a long time to come.— this could haunt them for a long time to come. ., ~ i. time to come. thank you, dan roan in qatar. our other main story tonight — three people are known to have died after an explosion flattened a three storey block of flats on jersey. rescue teams are working under floodlights tonight, searching for people who are still missing. the islands police chief said about 12 people are unaccounted for. the blast happened around four o'clock this morning in the capital, st helier. police have described the scene as one of utter devastation. it's been confirmed that the fire brigade

attended the area yesterday, after some residents had reported smelling gas. a warning that this report from our correspondent robert hall in jersey contains footage of the explosion. it sounded like a roll of thunder, according to eyewitnesses, a huge explosion in a residential area overlooking st helier�*s harbour. a security camera on a cafe half a mile away captured the blast and the subsequent fire. 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 had hurled debris and glass over an area several hundred yards across. we heard an explosion about four o'clock this morning, half three, four o'clock, we got up and we found in ourflat all the windows had been put in, the staircase had been damaged, and there was fire everywhere.

every available emergency vehicle was sent to the scene, as island authorities declared a major incident and the hospital's emergency department closed to non—urgent cases. it is, as i described this morning, a scene of utter devastation. i mean, the building has completely collapsed. it is — it doesn't even look like a building was. the collapsed building poses huge challenges for a search operation. although gas and water have been cut off, there were still pockets of fire this afternoon and the debris pile remains unstable. the primary challenge is, one, it is dangerous to operate in and around the area. and secondly, anything that we do or don't do in the wrong way might then jeopardise the chances of survival for somebody who might yet be able to be rescued. meanwhile, dozens of people have been evacuated to st helier�*s town hall and provided with clothing, food and warmth, while efforts are under way to rehouse them as temperatures continue to fall.

for the people who have, in the run—up to christmas, effectively been told they cannot be at home, that's clearly going to be an enormous disruption to them. but i am sure will do all we can to make sure they have a good christmas. this is the second tragedy to hit jersey in the past few days. the island is still grieving the loss of three local fishermen following a collision between their vessel and a ferry. a recovery operation at the wreck site is due to begin tomorrow. the cause of last night's explosion is still unconfirmed, but police are following up information that fire crews were called to the flats in the hours before the blast, following residents' concerns about a smell of gas. the search for further victims is expected to last several days. robert hall, bbc news, jersey. danjohnson is in st helier tonight. what is the latest? that search and

rescue operation _ what is the latest? that search and rescue operation is _ what is the latest? that search and rescue operation is still _ what is the latest? that search and rescue operation is still going - what is the latest? that search and rescue operation is still going on, l rescue operation is still going on, you may be able to make out the orange digger that has been brought in because there was such a huge pile of rubble to go through after this devastating explosion. search teams, search dogs and equipment have been flown by helicopter from england to assist with the operation. this is the second tragedy to hit the island community this week, it has really move people. we have confirmation the fire service was quoted as building yesterday because of residence' concern about the smell of gas. i spoke to the island's chief minister this afternoon and she promised that would be investigated but the priority is the missing and their families which is why they are still searching, still digging and helping but i am afraid the expectation is that the death toll will rise in the next couple of days. dan johnson, thank you. the actress ruth madoc has

at around minus six degrees for many of us even in the more urban spots, quoted in that and some rural spots. sunday quite a cold day for england and wales and quite a lot of clout around the odd snow flurry around this cloud and preps the midland, central and southern england, some lingering freezing fog up towards the veil of north and snow showers tending to ease across parts of scotland in this temperatures between freezing to plus 2 degrees entering sunday evening and overnight, the temperatures far southeast and there's chance was his low pressure pushing and some snow potentially touts parts of sussex, essex, and we are expecting some icy stretches to develop and again, some freezing fog patches but sunday night very cold with the widespread hard frost and temperatures could be as be as low as —12 degrees as we start monday morning. so, i see in very cold monday commute and i think a lot of low as —12 degrees as we start monday morning. so, i see in

very cold monday commute and i think a lot of clout to be quite stubborn to clear and more sunshine for northern england and scotland as your winter showers and again, it is going to feel cold with temperatures between around about freezing and in belfast, but it's see around 5 degrees of the likes of plymouth. now, heading into tuesday, we can see the blue colour still very much on the map and the court is still with us and the winds coming in from a northerly direction and another cold plunge of air to the middle part of the week. looking at the forecast for next five days, many places the contrived expect some freezing fog patches and icy stretches and temperatures on the court side, certainly. bye—bye.
