performer — about how racial stereotyping affected her career. at first, it seemed just fine. and then it began to occur to me that that would limit me quite a bit. we start with the world cup, where we now know the semi—final line up. the holders, france, eliminated england. while morocco made history with their victory over portugal. they are the first african and arab country to make it to the last four of the men's world cup. we'll have reaction from around the world coming up, but we start our coverage with this report on the match action, from tim allman. it is an age old story. england

expect, but usually disappoint. and that's industry was ever when france took the lead just after the quarter hour mark. an absolute scorcher from him putting the world cup orders 1-0 putting the world cup orders 1—0 op. at this in with our more resolute than some of their predecessors in early in their predecessors in early in the second half, he won a penalty. up stepped harry kane. the school level and the scores and putting the captain and the all—time record for his country. but anything harry can do, olivia eric can do better. his head and making france's topical score of all time. not long after that, under the penalty for england but this time, cain could not convert. misery for the english and french defence of their title goes on. the hopes of the nation and the entire candidate that continent rested on the shoulders of morocco, morocco

taken the lead towards the end of the first half in portugal almost equalised a few moments later and bruno fernandez strike hitting the crossbar. and then in the second half, cristiano rinaldo came on and could he be the hero one more time? no. you could not. morocco making history. rinaldo almost certainly making his last appearance at the world cup. —— ronaldo so — let's get some reaction — starting with morocco�*s historic victory. plenty of celebrations back home — you can see the delight here in casablanca. there were also joyful scenes with the moroccan expatriate communities in france and belgium. but the biggest smiles came in qatar with the fans who were lucky enough to watch the game. our correspondent shaima khalil has been speaking to them. there are many ways to describe the atmosphere here. ecstatic,

joyful, shocked, euphoric. but one word that would do justice to morocco�*s performance in defence presence is the story. this is the first arab and african team to make it to the world cup semifinals. history has been written yet again by morocco�*s team. the tension was palpable on the pitch and understands when the fans chanted go ahead and arabic and we have the last minute and we held their breath and team belief in many of them are still trying to find ways to describe at that moment really means for them. we describe at that moment really means for them.— describe at that moment really means for them. we came today morocco and _ means for them. we came today morocco and we _ means for them. we came today morocco and we came _ means for them. we came today morocco and we came this - means for them. we came today morocco and we came this way l morocco and we came this way with_ morocco and we came this way with my— morocco and we came this way with my husband. i love my baby, — with my husband. i love my baby, have a two—month—old baby and we're — baby, have a two—month—old baby and we're so — baby, have a two—month—old baby and we're so happy in a the moroccan _ and we're so happy in a the moroccan team, all the muslim world, — moroccan team, all the muslim world, it — moroccan team, all the muslim world, it is _ moroccan team, all the muslim world, it is hit tight history that— world, it is hit tight history that we _ world, it is hit tight history that we are witnessing. | world, it is hit tight history that we are witnessing. i can't really describe _ that we are witnessing. i can't really describe it. _ that we are witnessing. i can't really describe it. it's - that we are witnessing. i can't really describe it. it's a - really describe it. it's a

let's turn to the other semi—final now — with france moving a step closer to retaining their title — after beating england. every face tells a story — or at least that's how it looks at this fan zone in wembley, in north london. we'll have the reaction from paris injust a moment — but first let's get the english point of view from our sports editor dan roan, in doha. england avenue impressed here and they're entitled to feel a little hard done by what happened this evening but there is no doubt given how far this team is come in recent years, given the teams that have already been knocked out in the fact that he suppressed me finalists, morocco were waiting for them and had england victorious. they had their backs packed in a great sense of this being a missed opportunity and it's been penalty shoot—out that have caused england grief and it's a cruel twist of fate that it was a penalty by their usually

reliable captain, he retained under incredible pressure that cost them on this occasion whether not they would've prevailed had they made it 2— all, we will never know. are there questions about the referee, gareth southgate's future. windows of the things he's taken the steam as far as he's taken the steam as far as he can and they were wanting to say that maybe he will feel it is time to walk away. england is time to walk away. england is no doubt and improving site, they're getting closer but this, i think that haunt these players for a long time to come. let's get the view from paris now — where celebrations have been taking place on the champs elysees and elsewhere — including both french and morrocan fans. the french supporters are hopeful their national team can be the first side to retain the world cup since brazil in 1962. our correspondent lucy williamson watched the match there for us. absolute euphoria, absolute joy- absolute euphoria, absolute joy. after the first half, i

cannot describe the atmosphere in the bar. there are many people who saw this as the big match and the final before the final as one man put it. it is one of the quarterfinals but for many people it felt like the most significant match, perhaps the whole tournament, we have yet to find that out but it was really built up as a match of equals or almost equals in the best site they had faced with star players on both sides and a lot of respect, a lot of caution amidst the confidence here tonight but absolute euphoria that france are through and is the raining champions, for them, it is significant because there is one step closer to that final and one step closer towards taking back the trophy that they one last time. that they won last time. so let's take a look at that semi—final line up: argentina play croatia on tuesday — and france will

take on morocco on wednesday. both games kick off at 1900 gmt. and you can find much more about the world cup in the special section on our website — just log on to bbc.com/news or download the bbc app tens of thousands gathered in the bangladeshi capital dhaka for a mass anti—government rally. organised by the opposition party, the protest called for the resignation of the country's prime minister sheikh hasina. it followed days of violent clashes in the city, where hundreds of opposition supporters were arrested. the government says it respect the right to peaceful protest and has denied claims it's trying to suppress any form of dissent. our south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has more details. from across the country, they poured into the capital, dhaka. in their thousands.

a mass rally organised by the opposition. held on international human rights day. these protesters say they are being denied their own. there is no democracy in bangladesh. establishing democracy is our main demand. we have been harassed by police at every check postjust to get here. translation: this government wants to control everything - with the help of police. they want to use police to be in power for life. our leader wants to be in power keeping everyone at gunpoint. in the last few days, things were much more tense. the security forces clashed with opposition supporters, arresting hundreds. he said it is another example of how the government's who say it is another example of how the government's crushing dissent.

they are calling for three and fair elections and for the prime minister to step down. seen here at the cop summit she has been a key voice of the debate around climate change. in an interview with the bbc in september, she denied claims her government is silencing critics. many people can place allegations but how far it is true, you have to judge. only during a military time you can see free and fair elections. the opposition bangladesh national party says it's planning to hold another mass next week. they say they'll keep going until their demands are met. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news. three people are known to have died after an explosion at a block of flats on jersey in the channel islands. rescue teams are continuing to search for several people who are still missing, after parts of the building collapsed in the early hours of saturday morning. it's been confirmed that the fire brigade attended the area a few hours before

the blast after some residents had reported smelling gas. 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 been a crucial swing state, a key battleground in last month's midterm elections with some very tight races there, among them that for governor involving lake, but there were some issues. they were printing problems at about 70 different polling stations that lead to long queues for people queuing up long queues for people queuing up to vote, waiting to vote in

line and kari lake maintains among other things in her 70 page lawsuit that that led to a lot of republican voters basically giving up because the lines were so long and 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 result either to be scrubbed away and for her to be appointed the governor of the state of arizona indeed for the election to be rerun and it's worth making the point, i think that kari lake, very high—profile candidate in these elections much feted by donald trump as an election denier is one of the only high—profile candidates in this country that has yet to concede after these

midterm elections and after the officials found that she had 17,000 votes shy of defeating the democratic opponent, katie hobbs. the un human rights chief volker turk says he is "appalled" by the massacre of civilians in democratic republic of congo and added he plans to visit the country next year. belgium has also told rwanda to "cease all assistance" to the m23 rebels fighting in drc, after a un probe said the group had massacred hundreds of civilians last month. meanwhile amid the fighting in in north kivu province, refugees are fleeing to makeshift camps— and disease is spreading due to lack of shelter and sanitation. ika ba koyi reports. this is the north province. in eastern democratic republic of the congo. against extracting

and natural scenery consisting of forests, hills and mountains are arbitrary executions. hunger and disease. a recent investigation found that just last month, the m 22 rebels massacred civilians here and committed to does rapes. the rebels resumed fighting the 2021 after being enacted for years. it has been defending the interests of ethnics living in the congo since the rwandan genocide in 1994 against the militias. they've also been involved in a long—running conflict against the central government. un human rights chief urged and and into the fighting next year.— fighting next year. really appalled _ fighting next year. really appalled of _ fighting next year. really appalled of the _ fighting next year. really appalled of the killings i fighting next year. reallyj appalled of the killings of fighting next year. really i appalled of the killings of so many civilians by the end 23.

but the problem does not stop there. hundreds of been forced to flee their homes as a result of fighting to a makeshift counsel outside. s we have been here since monday. it started getting sick in the morning. he was vomiting many times in that i brought them here. he was very tired. and they started to treat him and i see that little by little he has regained strength. the last few days at least it is ok. and disease is spreading due to lack of sanitation. many of displaced people are living in this area. and in this area, there are not registered cases of diarrhoea in colorado. with more than 250 patients admitted here, they stated they are obliged to create a bigger unit. but there

are not enough funds. there are dozens of militias operating in the region and many of them legacies of regional wars that raged at the end of last season. it seems like all hope is been lost by the un human rights office pledges that they are on the agenda especially from rights perspective. the head of the russian human rights organisation that's been jointly awarded this year's nobel peace prize — memorial — has denounced russia's war in ukraine as �*insane and criminal�*, at the award ceremony jan rachinsky told the audience that moscow's in norway. 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 center for civil liberties, and the jailed belarusian rights activist, ales bialiatski. let's hear some of mr rachinky�*s acceptance speech.

we are particularly grateful to the noble committee which shares this honour with the ukrainian centre for civil freedoms and human rights defender. this decision of the committee has great symbolic meaning for us and it undermines that state borders cannot and should not define civil societies. 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 not just an oscar, but also an emmy, a grammy and a tony award — making hera 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.

when i could understand what movies were, i wanted to be a movie star. that was the word, not an actress but a movie star. and i still hear that among very young people and i said to them, oh, let me tell you a few things. you went to hollywood during the golden age of cinema. and you were bigger than life. when i got my contracted mgm studios, which was the stay of my dreams because that was the studio that made all the great musicals and when i met mr louis, can you imagine what that meant to this 15, 16—year—old girl? the man who produced all of those great mgm musicals and they wanted me

to sign a contract with them? it was just unbelievable. unbelievable. they did not know what to do with me because my name was rosita dolores alvario. they changed it to rita moreno. what was that like? because these people have your career in their hands. in their hands, ifelt like a prisoner in their hands and really worried me because i was on those kids that was just afraid to say no to anything. i'm sure you've lost count of some of the racist encounters that you have encountered in the industry, notjust being stereotyped being puerto rican. tell me what that was like. i was an island girl. and it seemed just fine and then it began to occur to me that that would limit me quite a bit because normally, those kinds of people have

accents and almost always the makeup was dark and that went all the way up to west side story. any actress that plays anita is compared to you, how do you feel about that? i can't tell you how i feel about that. i suppose it is inevitable. i did win some wonderful awards, i won the oscar, of course. and, yes. you were called the pioneer in the community. la pionera. i think of other people have come after you were as famous and notable as you and they are not a lot. it is better but we are seriously underrepresented in the hispanic community which is shocking to me, i'm very upset about it. there should be more of you.

there should be so many more of me and then some. it is still difficult. and it breaks my heart. i not only feel it, but i see in how i am employed and what kind of films, the quality of the films that are offered to me, i am still in that bind. and it is not in any way that i mind playing a hispanic, it is the kind of hispanic. i would've gotten farther, which is my deepest regret had it not been for the fact that i'm hispanic. i would've had a different career. i know it. much more from the 100 women series on our website. you can find all of the films from the series — just take your pick — by logging on to bbc.com/news or going via the bbc app

here in the uk, the actress ruth madoc has died, aged 79. she found fame playing gladys pugh in the hit tv comedy hi—de—hi in the 1980s. it was one of the first bbc productions to capitalise on the merchandise market, inspiring board games, music, toys and t—shirts — all on the theme of the fictional 1950s british holiday camp featured in the show. lizo mzimba looks back at her life xylophone jingle. hello, campers. hi—de-hi! ho—de—ho! the ever cheerful gladys pugh, the chief yellowcoat with a passion for the camp's entertainment manager. yummy—yum—yum. you're all heart! so sensitive. with so much feeling. it's no surprise to me.

i can tell it by the way you use your hands. co—starjeffrey holland, who played spike, has fond memories of her. it was a joy to work with someone like her. we had such laughs, you know? i was very lucky to work with that comedy crew, and we never stopped laughing from morning to night. i will have those memories of ruth forever. i am a gay! 0h! in later years, she performed a variety of tv roles, including dafydd's mother in little britain. to be honest, love, we did have an inkling. hello, boys and girls, and welcome to rhyl. the pantomime this year is going to be brill! and she was a regular pantomime performer. beautiful! but she'll be best remembered as one of maplins' most famous and most loved stars. well, campers, it's a sad moment, but all the buses and trains are waiting to take you home. may i, on behalf of maplins holiday camp, say we hope you've had a wonderful week, and we look forward again to seeing you next year. goodbye, campers, and... hi—de-hi!

the actress ruth madoc, who's died at the age of 79. thank you for watching. 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.
