and emmanuel macron have to an extent hit it off. i think this is one of the great insoluble problems of the age. it is not confined to the uk. there are small boats going to italy, spain and greece for years and years. the americans have a different problem with illegal crosses across their border. none of us have eight solution to this. the proposals from rishi sunak are more sensible than some of those in the past. my personal view is if enya is good enough and safe enough country to apply for eu membership then there is no argument at all for albanians to be coming here as refugees. so, ithink albanians to be coming here as refugees. so, i think some of the fourth that come across some of them which are opinions rishi sunak has

spoken about sending them back i don't think that's unreasonable. but that being said people coming from afghanistan, or somalia or those others similar states you have reason to help people coming from these countries. and if they think these countries. and if they think the uk is the best place for them to come and they are going to be lots of those. it is very hard for any government to radically reduce the size of this problem. fik government to radically reduce the size of this problem.— size of this problem. 0k we are auoin to size of this problem. 0k we are going to end — size of this problem. 0k we are going to end on _ size of this problem. 0k we are going to end on the _ size of this problem. 0k we are going to end on the world - size of this problem. 0k we are going to end on the world cupl going to end on the world cup martin. it is the daily telegraph of kylian mbappe looking very happy. the dream final is booked with argentina what did you think of today's match? i did you think of today's match? i was it was a good match. i was sort of rooting _ was it was a good match. i was sort of rooting for— was it was a good match. i was sort of rooting for morocco because they had played so well. it has been a tournament of upsets and it is unfortunate that it does ended with two of—

grown through their remarkable camping. tens of thousands converging in the hope of witnessing history. their team had already delivered one of the greatest underdog stories in the world cup. but note the champions themselves stood in their way. within five minutes the favourites flex their muscles. the bulk fall into a french defender who despite the tight angle tucked it home. marco behind for the first time in this tournament. despite the worst possible start date responded as the french book—keeper was tested. in a frenetic first half of your cheroot went close to extended the lead for france who maintained the pressure but not the finishing touch. morocco were still in this with their friends creating a sizzling atmosphere. and they went close with atmosphere. and they went close with a potentially spectacular equaliser.

despite only being in the job for three months of the moroccan coach has instilled a formidable spirit in his sight. and though they dominated possession morocco struggle to find a way through. the french coach is looking to be the first coach to win the world cup twice. and i haven't been on the pitch for only a few minutes the right french substitute scored the clinching goal. morocco never go but there world cup journey was over after a tournament that would not be forgotten. france through to another final, they bid to become the first team in 60 years to become the first team in 60 years to win back to back titles continues. france will play argentina following their convincing 3—0 win over croatia last night. after the game lionel messi suggested sunday's final is likely to be his last ever appearance

at a world cup. so far it's the only piece of silverware that's eluded him. he lost in the final eight years ago and his team mate in that match pablo zabaletta says he doesn't need to win it to seal his legacy. the legacy of the ago mara done is there and i don't think missy needs to win the world cup to prove he has been one of the greatest players of all time. but of course it would be so good to see a picture of missy with the world cup trophy. some people from not from my generation but that saved my dad and all of that. they have seen the best of maradona. and i think kids these days adding argentina there wearing lionel messi shirts and so it would be so good to have the opportunity

to have lionel messi when something with his national team. a security guard at qatar's lusail stadium has died after suffering a serious fall at the venue following argentina's quarterfinal win over the netherlands on friday. kenyanjohn njau kibue died after three days in hospital. he's the second migrant worker reported to have died since the start of the world cup last month. the stadium will host sunday's final. in a statement the organisers say they "send their sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and friends." and that they are "investigating the circumstances leading to the fall as a matter of urgency". adding "they will continue to provide further information pending an investigation and will ensure his family receive all outstanding monies owed." even though the world cup is not quite over, domestic football restarts in scotland tomorrow. rangers resume their scottish premiership campaign against hibernian at ibrox with manager michael beale in the dugout for his first competitive game in charge. beale was a coach at the glasgow

club when steven gerrard was manager and he was asked about what he can bring to the role. my ideas haven't changed too much from when i was here previously. and i think it'sjust about freeing 1—2 players up. that always happens when a new coach comes in. that's nothing against the previous managing team, but it shuffles the pack when the new coach comes in and changes the system that they're using. i hope to see that renewed energy. i think it's important for them that they show that, as well. everton won 3 nil at tottenham in the final women's super league game of the calendar year. substitute giova na scored everton's third. they move up to sixth place in the table , spurs are eighth after losing their last four games. great britain's men's hockey team began their f:i.h pro league campaign with an emphatic 3—0 victory over defending champions the netherlands in argentina. the goals came in an ii—minute spell across the second and third quarters. zach wallace scored the first and third goalfor team gb either

side of phil roper�*s strike. ronnie o' sullivan is through to the round of 32 at the english open in brentwood. the world number one recovered from being two frames to nil down to beat thailand's dechawat poomjaeng 4—2 and will face fellow englishman martin gould in the third round tomorrow. and that's all the sport for now. hello. this long spell of cold weather is not ending just yet. for the time being, we are still stuck in a deep freeze. this cold air that has been brought down from the north. but there are signs of a change in the outlook through the weekend and into the start of next week. a south—westerly wind starts to develop and that will bring something significantly milder. by monday, the southwest of england could see highs of 16 degrees. with that there will be some

wind and rain at times. in the short term we stick with the cold and frosty feel to the weather. some icy stretches to start thursday morning and a day of sunshine and wintry showers awaits. the icy stretches are where we have had the showers over recent hours. parts of northern ireland, the east coast of england and most especially the north of scotland. and here we will see frequent wintry showers of sleet and snow continuing through the day. some further accumulation of snow. some showers for northern ireland, briefly for west wales and also for the east coast of england. again, those would have a wintry flavor to stop some of those showers will fall as snow. but for many other places it is going to be a dry day. with plenty of sunshine not helping the temperatures much though. one to 5 degrees at best. through thursday nights, once against those temperatures will drop like a stone. there'll be further wintery showers, some further icy stretches and widely we are looking at lows of —4 or minus five degrees.

some places will get colder than that. so, fog is likely to affect some southeastern parts of england through the first part of friday. the other feature of friday's weather is this weather system. which is likely to bring a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. across central parts of scotland. that could cause some disruption. it could certainly give rise to some ice. it's another cold day but maybe not quite as cold. that is a sign of things to come. by saturday, we start to shift the wind direction. we start to pick up these south—westerly winds. still some showers around, especially in the west and orthwest. the west and northwest. some of those will still be wintry to stop those temperatures beginning to creep up. but as we get into sunday we see this big change. this frontal system driving its way from the southwest. that will bring heavy rain, strong winds and perhaps some snow for a time. but behind that, things will turn much milder.
