professional and at best, northern ireland are semiprofessional. i think many people expected england to really run away with this game, but at half—time, it was goalless. the first half, they couldn't find the back of the net. the lioness is hit the woodwork twice, and the northern ireland goalkeeper scrambled away many efforts. at the break, a change of fortunes for england when the england manager made a double substitution. she brought on a couple of beths, and that made all the difference. beth mead coming on and acrobatically turning the ball home with almost her first touch of the game. beth england then got on the end of a lob cross to make it 2— zero, but it was beth mead who really shone tonight. her second of the game, england's third, slamming at home to make a real impact and she wasn't done yet. england eventually winning a— zero, beth mead wrapping up a iath minute hat—trick with a simple tap in at the end. so in the end, three wins from three for england in their world cup qualifying campaign. for northern ireland, the first

what are the covid figure is like in northern ireland? - is like in northern ireland? politicians are always keen to tell us they are following the science. yes, the ministers this afternoon received presentations input from the chief scientific 0fficer received presentations input from the chief scientific officer and the chief medical officer here, so they will say they have been following the advice. northern ireland has at various points in this pandemic had the highest infection rate of the uk's for nations and also points out there for the highest death rate. there has also been some concern in recent weeks that the vaccination uptake has not been quite as good as in the rest of the uk. that concern really emerged over the summer. but over the last fortnight really we have seen cases, the number of positive covert tests here start to fall. also the pressure on hospitals has eased slightly, although it is still very much an issue for the health service here, and, true to that we have fortunately the number of people here dying after a positive covid test her start

into northern ireland could be resolved with technology. how far away are we from that? repeatedly, we seem to come back of this issue of whether the technology is capable of managing that border and certainly there are not the solution is ready on the shelf that could be implemented tomorrow, which is part of the reason why this has become so difficult. there are certain areas that could be perhaps digitised in some areas and the uk government is looking to do that, but other aspects, like inspecting livestock or other kind of products of animal origin, which are very important to the eu, it is difficult to see how this can be done virtually or in another way. now, there might be solutions going forward, but one of the things the eu has repeatedly said is that the uk government has not put forward those detailed technical proposals, how things could work differently and lord frost has said that he would be publishing more details on the uk proposals and it is possible we might see more of that, but i think fundamentally i am not sure techn

ireland signing up is another sign of that. what they see is that the first pillar without making it harder to tax office when they arise instead of applying to multinationals only applies to around 100 multinationals and only a small bit of their profit, so that has really lost a lot of ambition. the global minimum tax now has so many carveouts that it tax now has so many carveouts thatitis tax now has so many carveouts that it is going to make it even for ireland that has a tax rate below that really quite a small impact, and the last thing, what we are seeing is a lot of lower income countries starting to say they might reject this deal now even that to agree injuly because the benefits of them will be so small. unfortunately i think we're going to see a high—level statement today where the oecd says, yes, everyone is still with us, but almost all of the technical looks like it is going to be pushed further down the line again and we start to wonder whether we are actually going to get that deal at all. goodness. ok. alex,

the northern ireland protocol was designed to avoid a hard border on the island of ireland, but has meant new checks on some products travelling from great britain. lord frost told the conservative conference in manchester that the arrangements agreed with the eu have begun to come apart even more quickly than we feared. we knew that we were taking a risk, but a worthy one in the cause of the good friday agreement, in the cause of protecting the peace. it was the right thing to do and ended our constitutional crisis. it meant our country could leave the eu, free and with real choices for the future. of course we wanted to negotiate something better. if it had not meant for the madness of the surrender act, we could have done so. so we worried right from the start that the protocol would not take the strain if not handled sensitively. as it has turned out, we were right. the arrangements have begun to come apart even more quickly than we feared. thanks to the eu's heavy—handed actions, cross community political risk —— support for the protocol has collapsed. businesses, political par

it will be clouding, then rain pusing in through northern ireland. clearing through the day, than in the afternoon rain will push in mainly for northern ireland. ahead of that, it should be a little bit warmer. temperatures of 16 or 17 degrees. there�*s warmer weather on the way later in the week. the weather front parking off scotland and northern ireland, high pressure into the south—east of the uk, so drawing drawing in a south—westerly wind all the way from the tropics. that�*s going to bring some higher temperatures, probably bring a lot of cloud, mind you, on thursday, and rain and drizzle at times across scotland and northern ireland. some dampness here and there across western england and wales with brighter skies further east. even with a lot of cloud, temperatures could reach 19 degrees in belfast and newcastle. could make 20 or so across other parts of england and wales. we still have that weather front hanging around a bit across northern parts of the uk. the position of the rain keeps chopping and changing, there�*s still the t

we have quite a lot of rain for scotland and northern ireland from this slow—moving weather front. for western coast of england and wales, there will be thick cloud, drizzle and thick cloud. temperatures are rising through the night. 15 degrees in belfast, for example. on thursday we have this weather front that will be with us for much of the day in scotland and northern ireland, continuing to bring some rain. still quite damp in the west as well, but for central and eastern england we might see some brighter spells. those temperatures responding, we are looking at highs of 18 to 20, way above average for this time of the year. we enter the working week with quite dense patches of mist and fog which can be quite slow to clear. in scotland and northern ireland it remains breezy and there will be outbreaks of rain at times. 16 degrees underneath the rain, that is not desperately warm, but 21 is above seven degrees average for this time of the year. at the weekend we will get cooler and fresher air pulling its way southwards. actually, the weather temperature wise will come back clos

she cancelled a preplanned engagement in northern ireland earlier this week. we heard about that, of course, in the press — interest in that. she was said to be very disappointed by that. she's a woman who has a busy diary and likes to stick to those engagements. but she cancelled that because of medical advice from her team. she regretfully stayed at home to rest. so a development in that story. we know she was then treated in hospital. the preliminary investigations. the tone of statements from buckingham palace is one of reassurance, telling people she isjust taking some rest, somewhat reluctantly, perhaps, but as you say she is 95 years old, she is incredibly busy, and she does has a busy schedule she likes to stick to. but we're told is taking some rest to recuperate over the next few days. thanks to megan for that update. as a rapidly expanding economy, india is one of the world's biggest polluters. the country is also seeing at first hand the effects of climate change on weather patterns. recent flash floods in the region have claimed the lives of mor
