and yet, the football sparkled, asjoe lynskey reports. the world cup final is the greatest stage in football. this was perhaps the greatest match. it's argentina, kings of football for the third time! for one man and one nation, it meant so much. argentina, winners on penalties. the kick to seal it was simple. but how they got there was extraordinary. it was all set up as the superstar show. france's kylian mbappe against lionel messi. in his fifth world cup and second final, still he found a way to records. a faint touch on his team—mate, a first penalty, and messi's introduction. messi scores. that made him the first man to score in every knockout round. he is the 35—year—old heart of a team he inspires. argentina's second took a nation's breath away.

go, go, go, go! goaaal! for 80 minutes, france had been flat. there had been reports of a virus in their camp. but recovery came with their first spot kick. mbappe dragged them off the canvas and led a bolt from les blues. mbappe gets the return. in a 90—second turnaround, remarkably it was 2—2. paris was ecstatic. buenos aires disbelieving. argentina's 36—year wait would have to go on half an hour. extra time can be slow, but this was enthralling. lloris in the way! was it off the line or over the line? the referee has pointed to the middle and said goal. messi forced it in with 12 minutes to go. for the man who has won it all bar the world cup, it would have felt like a fairy tale.

but once again, this match went off script. there is another changearound here, a france penalty. mbappe stepped up for his hat—trick, the first man to score one in the final since sir geoff hurst in �*66. france within a boot length from a win at the end, but emi martinez saved with his feet and set up his platform. a penalty shoot—out. saved by martinez! martinez�*s route here has been through arsenal reserves and oxford united. now his mind games forced france to miss twice. defender gonzalo montiel would finish thejob. it's argentina, and the tears will fall. this was argentina's first world cup in their summer, and the first since the death of diego maradona. the history and the poignancy spilled into the streets. absolutely amazing. i have actually no words to describe this.

i had to come to a quiet street to be able to do this interview. i cannot even describe how many people is here. it's such an emotional feeling, it's beautiful. the controversial stage of qatar had its captivating end. more than 800 players were there at the start, and so many look up to messi. this may well be his last world cup, but with this he had sealed a legacy this sport will remember, in a match it won't forget. joe lynskey, bbc news. a match no one will forget. let's speak to our sports correspondent olly foster who is in doha. so often these big games and finals are cagey and tense and not very interesting games but this was an all—time great final, wasn't it? have you recovered yet? hat all-time great final, wasn't it? have you recovered yet? not quite, no,

have you recovered yet? not quite, no. certainly _ have you recovered yet? not quite, no, certainly some _ have you recovered yet? not quite, no, certainly some argentinian - have you recovered yet? not quite, no, certainly some argentinian fans here looking a bit bleary eyed because those celebrations in buenos aires were matched as well by the 50 odd thousand argentina fans who have witnessed something truly special in their eyes, as we all have, fairy tales sometimes don't come true but lionel messi, perhaps the greatest player we will see four generations, he dragged his nation through this tournament. remember, they lost their first match against saudi arabia. the next six matches were effectively knockout matches. they had a scare in the quarterfinal against the netherlands and then that final, they were cruising towards their third world title, and then kylian mbappe just flipped the match on its head that excruciating and exhilarating extra time, and then a penalty shoot—out, the third in world cup history in a final. it was an extraordinary final but perhaps we should not have been surprised because the last four

weeks has given us so many different stories on the field of play, the twists and turns, the shocks and surprises, morocco reaching the semifinals, that was an extraordinary story, but this will be messi's final and it will be messi's tournament, hisjourney be messi's final and it will be messi's tournament, his journey is complete. he enters, he will be idolised forevermore and takes his place alongside diego maradona in argentina's folklore. yes. place alongside diego maradona in argentina's folklore.— argentina's folklore. yes, it really did feel like _ argentina's folklore. yes, it really did feel like messi _ argentina's folklore. yes, it really did feel like messi against - argentina's folklore. yes, it really| did feel like messi against mbappe at times, didn't it? now the tournament is over, let's reflect, it started with so much talk about the controversy, didn't it, all of the controversy, didn't it, all of the conversations about human rights abuses, and the deaths of migrant workers and so on, and yet the football has been amazing, hasn't it? how do you reflect on the tournament as a whole, and what it has done for qatar, the hosts? weill.

has done for qatar, the hosts? well, those conversations _ has done for qatar, the hosts? well, those conversations continue - those conversations continue throughout the tournament, certainly issues that we did not shy away from and they will continue afterwards. you have got to rewind i2 and they will continue afterwards. you have got to rewind 12 years, i think, and remember qatar were awarded this tournament by one of, if not the most corrupt organisation ever seen in the sporting world, fifa of 2010. it is a new fifa regime now and they got the perfect tournament, delivered perfectly with hardly any incident of note. and they got the perfect final, qatar as well, messi against mbappe, both play for paris saint—germain, owned by qatar. so they got their perfect final. it was an amazing climax to some incredible football that we have seen. but those issues still remain, and fifa is a, wasn't it brilliant that we had the football so we could switch off the 90 minutes or 120 minutes from all of our problems? it is a pretty glib way of acknowledging that this is a

nation that criminalises same—sex marriage, male guardianship, the system in place that means that women are not fully in control of their own lives, and the flight of migrant workers, the millions —— the plight of migrant workers, the millions that built this tournament over the last decade and their deaths and injuries that have not been fully acknowledged by qatar's supreme committee. yes, they put some compensation packages in place in the last couple of years but human rights groups say it is all too late and there are some historic compensation claims that really need to be addressed and many bereaved families. qatar's supreme committee dispute the numbers and say over the last decade there have only been three work—related deaths. the chief executive of the supreme committee, in the last week, was very blunt when he said, look, all people die, whether it is in their sleep or at work. human rights groups really want some answers and they will

continue to push for those, as we will, but perhaps we will never know the numbers of migrant workers that died in making this tournament, a tournament that looked fantastic on tv, and that is what fifa and their sponsors are primarily concerned with, but perhaps fifa will think again before handing a tournament out to a nation that has a set of norms and values and laws that are so opposed to so many people abroad, who have come here. and we know from lgbt+ communities, those who feared coming here, and surely that cannot be right for the world game and for the beautiful game.— the beautiful game. interesting perspeetive- — the beautiful game. interesting perspective. thank _ the beautiful game. interesting perspective. thank you - the beautiful game. interesting perspective. thank you for - the beautiful game. interesting i perspective. thank you forjoining us. some thoughts and reflections at the end of this world cup tournament in qatar. 0lly foster, there. as you might expect, the celebrations went on until late at night in buenos aires.

at one point, an estimated around two million people were in and around the area of the famous 0belisk in the centre of the city. 0ur correspondent katy watson spent the day watching the match with the fans gathered there. here's what happened. celebration and relief after an epic final game. the joy people shared in the first half, the hope that argentina could win this easily, quickly turned to stress in the second. many were unable to watch the penalties by the end. this has been a personal crusade for argentinians, wanting to win a third world cup, yes, but wanting to win it for lionel messi, the finaljewel in the crown for their footballing legend after a glittering career. translation: l have worn - the world cupjersey every year

that i can remember. this year i decided not to wear one. i wanted to wait until they won so i could buy the new shirt with a third star. let's go, argentina! i am feeling very emotional. my dad told me what it was like when we won in 1986, and now i am living the victory! this year has captured the imagination of millions of argentinians. the country has been battered by economic crisis, but time and again, the tournament has offered people the chance to dream again, to smile and be united. this is a footballing nation, but the win means so much more. translation: it is a lot, we have suffered a lot in everything, - especially with the economy. thank you so much, world cup team! it means a lot, it means everything for us. we are just speechless, this is stunning, i can't believe it, ijust can't believe it. this is a win that has united to south america.

united south america. neighbours like brazil are massive football rivals, but those rivalries have been set aside, replaced by pride that argentina has brought this cup back to the region. some of the celebrations in argentina, there, but let's talk about the french, the losers. we can speak to lisa leroux. she is a french football commentator and she joins us from paris. so near and yet so far, is it sinking in that france could not quite do it again?— sinking in that france could not quite do it again? very near but it wasn't our — quite do it again? very near but it wasn't our night. _ quite do it again? very near but it wasn't our night. it _ quite do it again? very near but it wasn't our night. it was _ quite do it again? very near but it wasn't our night. it was an - wasn't our night. it was an incredible match, such a roller—coaster of emotions but when it comes to penalties, you never know what can happen. a very disappointing night, a very disappointing night, a very disappointing morning here in france, a lot of sad faces last night where i was watching the match but itjust night where i was watching the match but it just was night where i was watching the match but itjust was not our night but i am very proud of how the team came

of him cheering, pumping his fists every time france scored but then consoling the team and especially mbappe at the end. yes! consoling the team and especially mbappe at the end.— mbappe at the end. yes, exactly, macron is a _ mbappe at the end. yes, exactly, macron is a big _ mbappe at the end. yes, exactly, macron is a big football _ mbappe at the end. yes, exactly, macron is a big football fan, - mbappe at the end. yes, exactly, macron is a big football fan, he . mbappe at the end. yes, exactly, l macron is a big football fan, he was there when we won in 2018 and i'm sure he was hoping the same thing could happen but it was great to see the team come together afterwards and consult each other, can the players who missed the penalties. —— consoling the players. it is said that kylian mbappe went back to the changing room and had a cry with his father. he is disappointed, he wants to keep winning but he is so young, and to score a hat—trick in a world cup final, what an achievement that is. so we are very confident in the future of the team, that we are going on to win many world cups, i am sure. ~ ., ., , ., , ., ., am sure. what does all this mean for the french people? _ am sure. what does all this mean for the french people? they _ am sure. what does all this mean for the french people? they have - am sure. what does all this mean for| the french people? they have bonded and falling in love with the team, a team of so many different backgrounds.— team of so many different backgrounds. team of so many different backurounds. , , , ., backgrounds. definitely, it is a team that _ backgrounds. definitely, it is a team that reflects _ backgrounds. definitely, it is a team that reflects french - backgrounds. definitely, it is a i team that reflects french society, they are young and they come from all over france, they come from

in the world cup final — the first time they've lifted the famous trophy since 1986. these were fans celebrating in the capital of argentina — buenos aires. more strike action — ambulance workers in england and wales will walk out on wednesday in a dispute over pay. nurses are due to stage their second walk—out tomorrow. it's expected the high court will rule today on whether it's legal for the uk to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. the government says it's trying to discourage people who arrive in what it calls illegal and dangerous ways like small boats. but some organisations have challenged the policy in court, arguing rwanda is not a safe country. our correspondent lebo diseko reports from rwanda's capital, kigali. a familiar sunday scene in a church that is unique in rwanda — welcoming worshippers

from the lgbt community. unlike in neighbouring countries, homosexuality is not illegal here. yet many people still face challenges. if you hide your identity, they can give you a job, but if they know your identity after, they say, go, go, we can't work with you, this is not good. i think they don't know many things about us in this country. charities argue asylum seekers could be targeted because of their sexuality. the un says the system for assessing refugees here in rwanda isn't fair or efficient. it told the high court that people could be sent back to countries where they faced torture. and back injune, it said it can take years for people to get a decision on their case. this asylum seeker was too scared to show his face or share his name. a year after arriving from ethiopia,

he says he still can't work legally because his claim has not been processed. they say we are poor and that rwanda can't keep poor people. i'm fighting to survive. i try to work. i don't want to stay in rwanda. i want to go to canada or australia. in a statement, rwanda's government said that discrimination in all its forms is outlawed by our constitution and rwanda is welcoming to everyone. it questioned why the un still sends asylum seekers to rwanda adding that its criticism seems inconsistent and many of their allegations are simply untrue. one refugee who has been successful here is originally from eritrea, and he has built a supermarket chain after arriving here at nearly 25 years ago. unlike many refugees, he had the money to start up his business. still, he says, rwanda offers opportunities as long as you play by the rules. coming here is not

something difficult. coming here is a blessing to me. it's free, you can do whatever you want, there is no restriction, there is no barrier. you can do whatever you want here. and to those people that might be a little bit afraid, what would you say? i don't know why they are afraid of what, but i don't see any threat here. this is a country that runs with enviable efficiency, but many say that just beneath the surface is a quiet sense of fear. the question for british judges is whether that fear is warranted. the health secretary steve barclay has told unions they need to make sure that life—threatening emergencies are covered, as the uk faces a week of the most disruptive strike action so far this winter. eight different groups of workers, including nurses and ambulance staff,

are set to walk out in the lead—up to christmas, in a row over pay and conditions. our political correspondent iain watson has the latest. ona on a visit to an emergency call centre in essex, the health secretary expressed concerns about wednesday's strike by ambulance crews in england and wales and says the unions now have to provide greater clarity about what level of cover they will provide on strike days. won it is absolutely essential that in terms of the ambulance strikes, we get the confirmation from the trade unions that they will prioritise emergency calls, life—threatening calls and ensure that there is sufficient cover for those to protect patient safety. the unions say they will respond to life—threatening emergencies and are discussing detailed plans for cover with ambulance trusts, but they also say the strikes could be stopped if the government was willing to talk about pay. the government was willing to talk about -a . ~ ., ., ., the government was willing to talk about pay-— fairi about pay. what do we want? fair -a . about pay. what do we want? fair pay- when — about pay. what do we want? fair pay- when the _ about pay. what do we want? fair pay. when the health _

unison chief was on the today programme on radio four this morning, saying ministers had been intransigent, that when it came to the ambulance strikes this wednesday, they will go ahead unless the government comes up with a firm offer on pay. the prospect of that is vanishingly thin so i think there is vanishingly thin so i think there is a pretty high likelihood that the strikes this week do go ahead. so what are ministers doing? at the moment, they are looking at mitigating the impact of these strikes. there is another meeting of cobra, the emergency committee today. we'll ministers want a lot more information from unions about what kind of emergency cover ambulance staff will provide on wednesday when it comes to the most severe and emergency cases, which ambulances will actually be dispatched. but the big, fundamentals to this, we talk about it what feels like every day the men, they are not really shifting.

the union say they want a better payoff and the government says they are not prepared to make one and it all looks bit stuck. —— a better pay offer. all looks bit stuck. -- a better pay offer. . ~ all looks bit stuck. -- a better pay offer. ., ~ , ., ., all looks bit stuck. -- a better pay offer. ., ~ ., ., , a new law which will force venues to be better prepared against terrorist attacks will be introduced in parliament early next year. it's named after martyn hett, who died in the manchester arena bombing in 2017, and follows a tireless campaign by his mother. robin brant reports. 29—year—old martyn hett was among 22 people who were killed in the manchester arena attack. since then, his mum has campaigned for change. change to prevent more attacks, and change to make sure venues, business and local authorities are better prepared to deal with terrorism. terrorism has changed, and we need to, as a society, be more resilient, and knowledge is power and that training that people will receive will be really, really important and go a long way towards that. we will observe a minute's silence

to remember those who were killed in the arena attack. the inquiry into the attack has exposed, in harrowing detail, the failings on that night. there were significant failings by a number of organisations in preparation and training for an emergency such as this and in their actions on the night of the attack. after a long, drawn—out process, the government has now confirmed a draft law will be published in the early spring. smaller venues holding fewer than 100 people will have to be better prepared, with training on simple measures like locking doors and first aid. bigger venues holding more than 800 people, like the manchester arena, will need staff to be more vigilant, and systems to allow better consideration of security. it'll make a massive difference. we want people to be comfortable and know that they are kept as safe as possible, and hopefully, people will go

to these places in a little bit more relaxed way now, knowing that staff have that awareness and that knowledge. industry bodies have welcomed the plan but have raised some concerns about extra cost and staffing. with cost inflation at the moment, we've got to be very conscious of some of these businesses and their financial position. some of the bigger spaces already are working towards ensuring that they are compliant. as you can appreciate, we can't be completely compliant until we've got the full details. robin brant, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. getting a bit warmer after the big chill. hello, a vastly different look and feel to the weather compared to last week. a lot of cloud and some windy conditions around southern and western coast in particular, 50 or 60 mph gust possible and outbreaks of rain coming and going. more persistent rain across east anglia

and the south—east through the morning clear to something drier and brighter. a bit brighter later across wales and northern ireland but notice the temperatures, ten to around 14—15, well above recent weeks and above where we should be for this stage in december. this evening and overnight, more rain comes to parts of southern and eastern england and south—east wales for a time. clearer conditions to the north and west, one or two showers, not as mild as last night, will feel a bit fresher out there but more sunshine for many. that said, east anglia, the south—east and the channel islands start with cloud and outbreaks of rain before sunshine develops. in the north and west, sunshine giving way every so often too heavy and thundery showers, most frequent in western parts of scotland where the wind will be at its strongest. cooler than today but still with temperatures above average for the time of year. goodbye for now.

sport and time for a full round—up now from the bbc sport centre with chetan. did you enjoy it? it was incredible! talk about living up to expectations! good morning — argentina are flying back home after winning their first world cup since 1986. the 64th and final match of qatar 2022 was undoubtedly the best as france were beaten on penalties after the match finished 3—3 after extra time. kylian mbappe scored a hattrick. but this was argentina and lionel messi's night. the only major trophy the seven time ballon d'or winner hadn't won, and now he's emulated his hero diego maradona and further his status as one of football's all time greats. there have been euphoric celebrations in argentina as you'd expect — and no doubt more to come.

as for doha, the argentina fans who travelled there in big numbers had an unforgettable night. olly foster is there for us. how are people reacting to the final and now it is over, the tournament as a whole? i and now it is over, the tournament as a whole?— and now it is over, the tournament as a whole? ., . ., as a whole? i can hear some chanting behind me along _ as a whole? i can hear some chanting behind me along the _ as a whole? i can hear some chanting behind me along the way _ as a whole? i can hear some chanting behind me along the way behind - as a whole? i can hear some chanting behind me along the way behind me i behind me along the way behind me here, about 50,000 argentinian fans in the stadium last night, slowly winding their way back and the scenes in buenos aires when the team arrives back. they left qatar very early this morning, they are in the air as we early this morning, they are in the airas we speak. early this morning, they are in the air as we speak. the final that you mentioned, it was not a great final until france actually turned up in

the last ten minutes! kylian mbappe turning the match on its head and ending with a nail—biting penalty shoot—out. and yet, lionel messi, finally completing the jigsaw, already one of the tree grates on argentinian football and now he can take his place alongside diego maradona because he is probably still holding that trophy like a baby, that their time argentina have won it and some of these firms, what a ride they have been on. i spoke to one fan who is heading back home in the next few hours and he has been to all seven of the match is here and he says he feels absolutely exhausted and i asked him, it is lionel messi on your mantelpiece, not diego maradona?— lionel messi on your mantelpiece, not diego maradona? somebody asked me, who not diego maradona? somebody asked me. who you — not diego maradona? somebody asked me. who you prefer — not diego maradona? somebody asked me, who you prefer but _ not diego maradona? somebody asked me, who you prefer but i _ not diego maradona? somebody asked me, who you prefer but i love - not diego maradona? somebody asked me, who you prefer but i love both - me, who you prefer but i love both of them _ me, who you prefer but i love both of them of— me, who you prefer but i love both of them. of course i have seen lionel— of them. of course i have seen lionel messi because i am 33 years old and _ lionel messi because i am 33 years old and i_ lionel messi because i am 33 years

that is a lead of 127 but looking good for england at the moment and what an impact for that 18—year—old. we will keep you updated with that match on bbc news. that's all the sport for now. thank you. let's return to that world cup final as lionel messi achieves his world cup dream as argentina win in a historic penalty shootout. it marks the end of the tournament which has been mired in controversy over claims of corruption, the mistreatment of migrant workers, and human rights abuses. kieran maguire is from the price of football podcast and is university of liverpool's football finance expert. and hejoins us now. it has been a sparkling tournament in terms of the football, no doubt about that, lots of upsets and thrills and spills and

of many people, the greatest sport in the world. in the eyes of the qatar authorities, they have hosted a $20 billion party. but unlike what we have seen in brazil and south africa, when they hosted the world cup, there has been far less protest domestically and how that money could have been spent alternatively so that since the authorities will be pleased and they will be looking to reap the rewards over the of the next few months, having established relations and done some networking over the course of the tournament. good to talk to you and thank you very much for your assessment. extraordinary world cup tournament which is now over. some breaking news for you now. the south african president cyril ramaphosa has been re—elected of the governing anc. this was at a party leadership contest after he faced a pretty tight leadership race over his

former health minister who he forced to resign amid allegations of corruption. cyril ramaphosa had been widely tipped to secure another five year term at the anc gathering. but he has faced a lot of allegations, the so—called farm gate scandal that broke out injune the so—called farm gate scandal that broke out in june following the so—called farm gate scandal that broke out injune following large sums of foreign currency found hidden at his private game farm. he has denied any wrongdoing. will elon musk still be the head of twitter in the next four hours? it's somewhat unclear, after the platform's owner tweeted a poll asking whether he should step down — and promising to abide by the results. this comes after a series of policy changes — and account bans — that have prompted a severe backlash from twitter�*s users.

our news reporter azaday moshiri explained how the twitter ceo got to this point and what may happen if his users vote him out, it is hard to imagine or understand whether this is the moment that twitter is unravelling and the leadership of elon musk is unravelling of whether this is the kind of chaos he embraces and says twitter needs. it started because it initiated another policy change which drew a backlash. he said on twitter said people could no longer point to social media point de mey platforms, what he called free advertising on his profile. for instance, i would not be able to say follow me on such and such a platform. people doubted the way twitter has been developing under elon musk but as you said, the backlash was so severe that it led to not only the policy being in

question but elon musk asking his followers whether he should step down as the head of twitter? it is worth mentioning each time he has a twitter poll he follows the result so it is likely and he has talked to his tesla investors before, that he always has a plan to pass on the ceo title. he has never wanted to hold the helm of this company long term. but he said he has no successor in mind so it doesn't seem to be like there is a plan and it seems to be yet another case of elon musk shooting from the hip and making decisions fast and loose. moving on now. schools in the uk should be required to teach about anti—jewish hatred in the modern world, according to a new report by the government's anti—semitism adviser. lord mann has released a comprehensive report looking

at anti—semitism across british life, warning in particular of its growth among young people. the former labour mp points to a recent survey which found that anti—semitic incidents in english schools had nearly trebled in the past five years, and highlighted the alarming rise in hatred towardsjewish people in wider society. i'm joined by our religious affairs reporter harry farley. give us the background to this. the background to this is that last year there was a record number of reported anti—semitic incidents across the uk, figures from the communities and securities trust, a charity working to protect british jews and monitor anti—semitism. they said they recorded 2255 anti—jewish hate incidents in 21, up more than one third from the year before and the report speaks of the concern of

rising anti—semitism amongst young people. you mentioned in your introduction, he cites evidence that suggests there was a fivefold increase in the number of anti—semitic incidents in schools in the last five years, it makes a number of recommendations, firstly that schools should teach about contemporary anti—semitism notjust contemporary anti—semitism not just for the contemporary anti—semitism notjust for the moment teaching about the holocaust, that's compulsory but teaching about modern anti—semitism and how that manifests itself in british life. he said schools must teach about modern anti—semitism and he said ministers should work with social media platforms to combat hatred online.— hatred online. what else has the re ort hatred online. what else has the report called _ hatred online. what else has the report called for? _ hatred online. what else has the report called for? a _ hatred online. what else has the report called for? a cause - hatred online. what else has the report called for? a cause for. report called for? a cause for improving — report called for? a cause for improving safety _ report called for? a cause for improving safety for - report called for? a cause for improving safety forjewish i report called for? a cause for- improving safety forjewish students on university campuses, a review into why anti—semitic incidents are not reported more. in fact, one particular issue is how ministers

should combat hatred online. a government spokesman said the upcoming online safety bill which we've covered across the bbc extensively will mean for this unacceptable off—line is also unacceptable off—line is also unacceptable online and where abuse is a legal, social media companies will need to tackle it but i think theissueis will need to tackle it but i think the issue is when it does not meet that threshold of illegality, when there is not inciting violence. one of the key things in the report calls for making sure legislation applies to all social media platforms, notjust the big ones. what has been the reaction to this? a government spokesman said anti—semitism as with all forms of hatred is abhorrent and it points out that holocaust education is compulsory at secondary school and says the government supports schools to construct a curriculum that enables discussion of reporting issues like anti—semitism. enables discussion of reporting issues like anti-semitism. thank

deaths is now under way. like many european countries, the netherlands has a history which involved both colonialism and slavery. more than 600,000 people — mostly from africa and asia — were trafficked by dutch merchants between the 17th and 19th centuries. on monday the dutch prime minister will publicly apologise for what happened — but some campaigners say that merely confronting the events of the past is an insufficient gesture for the descendants of slaves living in the netherlands today. anna holligan reports. generations have been waiting to hear this word, but the dutch government's approach to saying sorry for slavery has reignited a sense of exclusion and distrust. the question you have to talk about, slavery, with people from the destination and people here, and we don't accept 19 december. instead, many within

the affected communities want an apology scheduled for 1 july next year, to tie in with what will be the 160th anniversary of the dutch emancipation act. within dutch society, support for a formal apology has been growing, with 38% of people now in favour. but almost half the population is still opposed. one far—right leader told me his party doesn't believe in such gestures. quincy gario argues it's essential to come together to understand the realities and impact of the past. even the cheesemonger on the street corner was getting paid with funds from colonial winnings. so everyone in our infrastructure and the way of living and our comfort here is directly linked to that abuse and extraction elsewhere. how exactly do you heal and how do you repair the — not just the psychic terror of the past, but also

the material inequalities that have come from that? words are fine, but what are actions? well, according to various leaks, the dutch government's apology for slavery won't result in immediate or individual reparations for the descendants of the enslaved people. instead, 200—million euros will be invested in awareness—raising projects and another 27—million dedicated to a new museum designed to highlight and explore this darker side of dutch history. it's been a busy time for linda nooitmeer. she has been involved in the negotiations with the government. slavery is a crime against humanity, and we acknowledge that people of african descent didn't get the chance to evolve themselves as they should. and from 20 december we can work together to fight against everything that is about racism,

and it gives me hope that we can do this in this country. formal apologies don't always lead to acceptance or acknowledgement, and in this already polarised society, there are fears of a backlash from those who wish to whitewash and glorify this history. with other countries currently considering their colonial pasts, an official apology from the dutch may encourage other nations to recognise and make efforts to remedy historic and contemporary inequalities in a meaningful way. anna holligan, bbc news, amsterdam. back in september, our climate editorjustin rowlatt metjade and her son eric, who live in gloucester, and he put them on a so—called energy diet. the idea was to see how much they could reduce their bills and carbon footprint with some simple tips. nowjustin's been back to see how they got on.

meetjade and her seven—year—old son eric. they live in gloucester and, like the rest of us, jade is worried about soaring energy prices. so she has agreed to an experiment. we are putting jade and eric on an energy diet to see how much money they can save and how much they can reduce their impact on the climate along the way. right, jade, let's start with heating because that is the biggest user of energy in your home and the first thing we are going to do is turn this down to 20 or 18? 20. keep it on 20 and next, i'm going to look at your boiler. we've turned the boiler temperature down too. i'm going to turn this down just a notch and see how that works for you. all the way down below one. and the radiators in all the bedrooms. eric got an extra duvet, jade has got an electric blanket. so, jade, the idea is you keep this area, the lounge and the kitchen warm. keep that door shut.

and then how about this, if you're watching telly with eric in the evening you can turn the heating down and maybe use a blanket? ok, we will give it a try. excellent. if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in the cup. we had some other tips too, always use the microwave when you can, it's much more efficient. lights out when you're not in the room, and... your washing machine can run at 30 not a0. # oh, the weather outside is frightful...# it is two months later and just look at the weather, it's absolutely freezing. so what i want to know is how are jade and eric getting on? eric! sunday the 11th of december, and we have had loads of snow. jade has been recording a video diary. it's pretty cold.

just stood near the door. just finished work, had a really busy day, and i'm about to go home. i would love to have a really nice hot bubble bath just to help me chill out this evening. but obviously on my energy diet i'm not allowed to do that, so i guess i will be going home, having a quick shower. we've just been out in the snow to eric's birthday party. we have just got back and he's opening his presents and i'm sat with my blanket and the door closed. just making myself a coffee. measured the water. i find that in the lounge where we keep the door shut it's ok, especially because we have layers on, and our blankets, but when you come out into the hall it's really chilly so it's not fun when it's time to go to bed. ready? so how have jade and eric done? what has the hardest thing been?

i think being a bit chilly in the evenings. yeah. so i'vejust gone to bed early. is that what you've done? so we've actually changed your lifestyle? yeah, i think i find it harder than eric with the cold. yeah. you haven't had to use your electric blanket, have you? no, i haven't. are you quite pleased you are managing without the heating? yeah, i like it. you like it? why? i like being cold. but it turns outjade didn't always follow the rules with the thermostat. she turned it over 20 a bit, the heating. once! so i turned it down to 19. you have outed her! you have exposed her! you did sneak it up once? only once! wasn't it only once? yeah. and i got told off. really? wow!

and that's not all. yesterday, i did have one bath. as a treat. oh,jade! right, jade, eric, this is the moment of truth. jade has been on our energy diet for 11 weeks and she has cut her total energy use by 45%. mostly by saving on gas for heating. with the energy price rises, her bills would have gone up by 60%, but with the energy she has saved and the support from the government, her monthly payment is now 45% less than it was last year. and she has reduced her carbon footprint too, cutting her household emissions by 223 kilograms of carbon dioxide, that's about the same as a one—way flight to tenerife. i'm really surprised actually. i didn't think it would have that much of an impact.

so here's the big question. will they stick with our energy diet? yeah, i like it. i would do it. i think i would keep most things. you've got no choice! so i think, what do you reckon, guys, you can turn the heating up for christmas? yes, i think 21 degrees. no! # let it snow...# we might all need a bit less energy to heat our homes for the moment because it is warming up. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. a vastly different look and feel to our weather. windy conditions around western coasts, persistent rain across east anglia and the south—east, clearing to something

dry and brighter. dry and bright later on in wales and northern ireland, temperatures around 10—14 , above where we should be in the stage in december. this evening and overnight, more rain in southern and eastern parts of england, clearer in the north and west, some showers, not as mild as last night, feeling fresher. more sunshine for many. in east anglia, the south—east start with cloud and outbreaks of rain before sunshine develops and in the north and west sunshine gives way too heavy and that showers, more frequent in the west of scotland. cooler than today, temperatures above average for the time of year. goodbye for now.
