up and rushed four years ago. what is up last year they were in an upward trajectory. that when zero lead at half—time and one of their young stars, with a wonderful strike from distance. england fairly hard done by the brazilian referee at times. he felt they should penalty in the first half and they did get one in the second half. when england's young stars, the england captain stepped up to equalise smashing the ball by his tottenham team—mate, hugo. and perhaps, they could've had another goal as well but he made a couple of fine saves as thejordan and the england goal but it was olivia who is a record goal scorer for the french with a really thumping close range hit and had a fantastic cross from anton for that.

two onto the french and the moment that will haunt england and every cane because at first penalty he scored, that made them equal with wayne rooney on 53 goals, a record for england and the one and this one was inside and this was the penalty to take it an extra time but inexplicably, hejust blazed to take it an extra time but inexplicably, he just blazed the ball way over hugo's bar and its state 2—1 to the french, the real champions march onto the semifinals in england werejust champions march onto the semifinals in england were just so deflated and dejected that they played very well but the french, they played really well as well and that the chances noticed is that penalty miss and who knows what might�*ve happened in extra time and penalties.

kari lake, the defeated republican candidate in arizona governor's race, is formally challenging her loss to democrat katie hobbs. she is asking a court to throw out certified election results from the state's most populous county and either declare her the winner or rerun the governor's election in that county. with the details, here's our north america correspondent david willis: in recent years arizona has become a crucial swing state it was a key battleground in last month's midterm elections with battleground in last month's midterm election ,., , battleground in last month's midterm election , , elections with some very tight races there. elections with some very tight races there- among _ elections with some very tight races there. among them _ elections with some very tight races there. among them for _ elections with some very tight races there. among them for governor i there. among them for governor involving kari lake, but there was some printing problems and polling stations problems that lead to long queues for people queuing up to vote in waiting to vote in line and kari

lake maintains among other things, and the 70 page lawsuit that that led to a lot of republican voters giving up because the lines were so long in going home. she maintains that led to them being effectively disenfranchised and she also claims that hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots were cast in that race for the governorship of arizona and so, she has basically sued, she is calling for the election results either to be scrubbed away and for her to be appointed the governor of the state of arizona. or indeed for the state of arizona. or indeed for the election to be rerun. it is with making the point, i think that kari lake, a very high—profile candidate in these elections much preferred and much favoured by donald trump as an election denier. as one of the high—profile candidates in this

country who has yet to concede after these midterm elections and that after the officials found that she had come 17,000 votes shy of defeating her democratic opponent, katie hobbs. now it's time to turn to our 100 women series — and meet rita moreno. she's an actress from puerto rico — who's won notjust an oscar, but also an emmy, a grammy and a tony award — making her a member of a very exclusive group. perhaps her best known roll was anita in the 1961 film west side story — but now, at the age of 90, she's speaking out about racial stereotyping and representation in films and on tv. our correspondent nomia iqbal went to meet her. i wanted to be a movie star. that was the word, not the actress but a movie star. and it's to hear that

preparations to face world champions france in their semifinal which takes place on wednedsay. hello. no let—up in this cold spell. we had another very cold day on saturday, and for many of us, sunday could be even colder, sharp frost around. this was the picture in derbyshire during saturday afternoon, and i think that frost really extensive to start the day on sunday. now, over the next few days, it is staying cold. further wintry showers in the forecast, icy stretches around and some freezing fog patches, so various winter hazards out there at the moment. as we go through the early hours of sunday morning, then, some icy stretches and wintry showers for parts of northern and eastern scotland, also around some of these irish sea coasts, north—west england, wales, the far south—west as well. fog patches further east across england and temperatures first thing to start sunday morning at around about minus six degrees for many of us,

even in the more urban spots. colder than that in some rural spots. so sunday, then, quite a cold day for the bulk of england and wales. we've got quite a lot of cloud around with the odd snow flurry coming out of this cloud for perhaps the midlands, central southern england. towards the east, we've got some lingering freezing fog for parts of norfolk up towards the vale of york as well. further north, these snow showers tending to ease across parts of scotland. but look at those temperatures. most of us between about freezing to plus two degrees. and then during sunday evening and overnight, our attention turns to the far south—east. now, there is a chance we'll see a low pressure system just pushing in some snowfall potentially to parts of kent and east sussex — essex, suffolk could be at risk, so we are expecting some icy stretches to develop and, again, some freezing fog patches. but sunday night, very cold with a widespread hard frost. temperatures could be as low as —12 degrees as we start monday morning, so an icy and very cold early monday commute, i think. again, a lot of low cloud

and freezing fog across much of england and wales. that's going to be quite stubborn to clear. perhaps more sunshine for northern england and scotland, fewer wintry showers than we've seen of late, but again, it is going to feel cold — temperatures generally between around about freezing to perhaps plus three there in belfast. we could just see five degrees for the likes of plymouth. now, heading through into tuesday, and you can see the blue colours still very much on the map, so the cold air still with us. the winds coming in from a northerly direction, another cold plunge of air into the middle part of the week. so looking at the forecast for the next five days, many places looking dry, but expect some freezing fog patches, some icy stretches and temperatures on the cold side, certainly. bye— bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines... england are out of the world cup — beaten 2—1 by france in the quarterfinals in qatar. captain harry kane scored a penalty to bring england level in the second half, but missed a second penalty chance later in the game. meanwhile, morocco have become the first african and the first arab country to advance to the semifinals of the football world cup. they beat portugal 1—0 earlier in the day. tens of thousands of opposition supporters have taken to the streets in bangladesh. they are demanding the resignation of the government there, which they blame for the country's economic problems. kari lake — the defeated republican candidate in the arizona governors race — is making a formal legal challenge over her loss to democrat katie hobbs.
