8:33 pm
on the line. both sides were equal on five points going into this game. samoa have not reached the knock—outs for 28 years, while japan are seeking a second successive last—eight place. group leaders england will qualify for the last eight if samoa fail to win. close to half an hour play group leaders england will qualify if samoa failed to win this one. to football now, where spanish police have raided the offices of the referees' committee as part of an investigation into barcelona's alleged corrupt payments to an official. the club face charges of corruption over payments made to a former vice—president of the committee in spain — in return forfavourable refereeing decisions. barcelona deny any wrongdoing and no arrests were made during the search in madrid. the nature of the crime is why the judge is trying to investigate. basically he's trying to see whether there's any evidence, any proof, not evidence, any proof that any written thing, piece of paper saying that he
8:34 pm
was appointed one referee or another for a game against barcelona. trying to see it's very difficult. this will take time. and when i meantime i mean one or two years. it is a long term case. liverpool owners fenway sports group have agreed to sell a minority stake in the club. the investment coincides with a succesful start to the season on the pitch and is worth between 82 and £161; million, being paid by global sports investment firm dynasty equity. the deal ends the search for new investment by fsg, who wanted to retain majority ownership of the reds. and that's all the sport for now. we will have more for you later. rainy and kamikaze drones in the latest attacks on ukrainian cities are filled with european components according to a secret document sent to ki. the document has been

8:40 pm
which number to call, so that's why i had to ask our colleague in paris bureau to help. first, they gave me the number of the police station near the lorry. i got to share the location with the girl, so i knew where they were and i asked them to find the phone numberfor me. and then, after i got the phone number from the police station, i asked the girl to call them directly and tell them, "ok, try to speak any words, even in vietnamese, yes? "just try to say any words. "they will understand you in the situation." well done. you can imagine the stress and pressure she was under while trying to sort all that out. for more on this story, i'm joined by andrew geddes, who is the director of the migration policy centre at the european university institute. we can't talk about the previous case in essex in which people die because the proceedings are alive at the moment. in mind of these
8:41 pm
previous cases it will surprise people that migrants are still prepared to climb into these lorry�*s and take these rest. why do they do that? ., �* , ., , and take these rest. why do they do that? ., �*, ., , .., and take these rest. why do they do that? ., �*, ., , _, ., that? that's really the core of this at the moment. _ that? that's really the core of this at the moment. across _ that? that's really the core of this at the moment. across europe - that? that's really the core of this| at the moment. across europe and that? that's really the core of this - at the moment. across europe and we seen the visible manifestations today which is hundreds of thousands of people embarking on dangerous journeys. because essentially the desperate. one reason for that is it's become increasingly difficult from people from countries it iraq and vietnam to enter countries like the uk that means they are prepared to take these kind of risks, which in the case of these women's of getting into a lorry which was reported and start heading in the wrong direction, they began a desperate round of calls in trying to contact people to find a way to relieve themselves from the situation. relieve themselves from the situation-— relieve themselves from the

8:44 pm
a significant demand for people to try to get into europe by irregular routes for that which also helps fuel what can be quite a lucrative business from the people who profit from it. ., ~ business from the people who profit from it. ., ,, , ., business from the people who profit from it. ., ~' , ., , business from the people who profit from it. ., ,, i. , . around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the time. i just keep this wretched thing out of the way. out of sight. zip it away. forget it. that's been 79—year—old tricia barren solution ever since she got her new phone. and it's the same story for so many older people who are being invited to these free it sessions in birmingham. from the old school where we used to face to face, still with banks, deal with people, get feedback. any difficulties we have then, you know, it was much more easier. this class in the city centre is the first of around 1000 which bt

and uk charity ability net are running up and down the country with more services moving online. people at this session know they have to change with the times. there are 11 million people in the uk who don't have the basic digital skills that they need and we know that people over 65 are ten times more likely to fall into that category. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. the bbc has overhauled its social media guidelines for staff after several high profile presenters in occluding gary linacre were criticised for expressing opinions about politicians and current affairs. the review carried out by former icm boss said presenters should be allowed to express their views on issues of the day but must stop short of political campaigning. with me tonight professor tim luckhurst. he is now principal of south college at durham university. nice to see you this

still in here. yes. i think the grey areas are a real problem in i areas are a real problem in broadcast guidelines. the audience associates the bbc for very good reasons with a very proud reasons with genuine impartiality. i think the bbc has a really proud record of impartiality and can stand by that record at home and abroad. the problem is that these are in many cases very high profile presenters working for the bbc as free lance contractors. and presenting flagship programmes which have very substantial audiences. for that reason the people who present them have considerable political influence even though they may not be political sophisticates. this is after all why people are asked often to endorse political parties and party political broadcast and political broadcasting and the united states. i think therefore the rules need to be simpler, clearer and frankly they need to require absolute impartiality. the director general says— absolute impartiality. the director general says there _ absolute impartiality. the director general says there is _ absolute impartiality. the director general says there is a _
8:48 pm

8:52 pm
have partisan views expressed on broadcasters but those broadcasters are required to achieve balance by broadcasting partisan views from all perspectives. when the presenters themselves dispel partisan views that were in new territory. i don't think we've yet to have a serious discussion about what that means. i think the impartiality breach is very valuable. while some delighted to hear partisan news express and indeed have frequently since i left the bbc made partisan points myself, i do so as a contributor not a presenter. i think the notion that presenters should be partisan is a difficult want for british broadcasting and one we haven't considered insufficient details. perhaps ofcom needs to have another think about the nature of partisan broadcasting in the british contacts. because at the moment i think we've got some very mixed messages being sent about what is acceptable and what is acceptable from presenters.—

today was quite hazy in nature, thanks to a mix of high cloud and wildfire smoke from north america that was blown all the way across the atlantic in the wake of storm agnes, which you can see here swinging away from our shores. there is, though, another weather system now pushing in from the west, already bringing some of us some outbreaks of rain which will continue through the evening and into the night. some of that rain will be pretty heavy. so as we head into the night, some pretty wet weather for a time in western scotland, drying up there in northern ireland. but the heaviest rain, i think, will be across parts of south wales, and then up into the midlands and lincolnshire. there could be enough rain in one or two locations, perhaps most especially in the south of wales, for some localised flooding and some travel disruption. and then that rain band's weakening all the while, pushing towards the southeast corner, where it is going to stay very mild. further north and west, something cooler and fresher to take us into friday morning. so this weather system mayjust take a little bit of time to clear

from the southeast corner through tomorrow morning. high pressure to the south, low pressure to the north — that brings a mix of weather fortunes. the further south you are, it should be mostly dry, not too many showers, plenty of sunshine. further north, some sunshine too, but more in the way of showers, particularly in the west of scotland, with gales possible in the far north. certainly quite a windy day across scotland. temperatures of 13 celsius in lerwick and 20 celsius in london. now, friday night will be quite chilly as this ridge of high pressure topples its way eastwards, but it doesn't last long. here comes our next rain—bearing weather system for saturday. some heavy bursts of rain pushing across northern ireland, fringing into parts of north wales, northwest england, and then up across scotland. further south, we'll see some spells of sunshine. it may just start to feel a little warmer and a little more humid. that's certainly a theme we will take with us into sunday. we could see highs of 23 celsius in the southeast corner, given enough sunshine. there will be a band of cloud and showery rain draped somewhere across central,

southern england into wales. to the north of that sunshine and showers, 16 celsius the top temperature in glasgow. and then into next week, well, thoroughly mixed. there'll be more rain at times, it'll often be quite breezy, but it mayjust turn a little warmer for a time in the south. hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news.
