| | World Cup ends with thrilling final |

| | | | | |
The World Cup final was a nail-biting experience for football fans. Argentina had a 2-0 lead over France at half-time but Les Bleus staged a comeback and equalised by the full-time whistle. That sent the game into extra-time, when Argentina looked set to win 3-2 but a late penalty for France evened things up once again. Penalties ensued... and Argentina won 4-2 in the shootout. Yesterday's result meant Lionel Messi, hailed by many as the greatest player ever, finally achieved his World Cup dream as Argentina won the title for a third time - here's the full story.
Argentinian football fans were elated, and on the streets of Buenos Aires one woman said this World Cup had given her a chance to feel happy, to feel united, as the country deals with economic turmoil - read more reaction here. Despite Kylian Mbappé's brilliance - and his hat-trick - France's fans were left disappointed by the outcome. So, was this World Cup final the best ever? BBC Sport has looked into it. But it was the final chapter of Messi's World Cup story, and it will now have many saying he is football's greatest. BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty explains why. | | |

| | Ambulance strike cover must be sufficient - health secretary |
| |
| |
| | The military will be on standby when ambulance workers go on strike, but Health Secretary Steve Barclay says unions must also ensure there will be "sufficient" cover to protect patients. Mr Barclay says there has been a lack of clarity after ambulance staff in England and Wales announced there will be a walkout on Wednesday in a dispute over pay. However life-threatening emergencies will be responded to and unions are still working with ambulance trusts to draw up detailed plans over the strike period. Mr Barclay will "have to carry the can if patients suffer", says Unite leader Sharon Graham, whose union is co-ordinating the ambulance strikes with Unison and GMB. Unions say the government has the power to stop this strike if it signals a willingness to discuss pay - read the full story here.Nurses, Border Force and Royal Mail staff are also among those taking strike action this week. | | |

| | Should Musk step down from Twitter? |
| |
| |
| | Twitter has made the headlines ever since Elon Musk took over the social media platform. He has faced criticism after taking up the position of chief executive officer, and now the technology tycoon is putting his future to a public vote. He's tweeted: "Should I step down as head... I will abide by the results..." The poll has been put to his 122 million followers, and comes as Twitter says it will shut down accounts solely designed to promote other social media platforms. Take a look at what's going on here. | | |

| | | | | | | | Oleh Podorozhnyy leads the way through the dimly lit corridors of his morgue, past windows covered with sandbags, to a large white container in the back yard. As soon as its heavy metal door is cracked open, the cloying smell of death rushes out. Piled inside in white bags are the remains of civilians killed when the town of Izyum was occupied by Russian troops. Many have been dead for months.
The body bags are marked with numbers and the barest of details, scrawled in black pen. Weeks after Izyum was liberated, the remains of 146 people found there have still not been identified. They're here because the main morgue is overwhelmed with more unidentified bodies from Russian missile strikes and mass graves across the Kharkiv region. | | |

| | | | | | Argentina's World Cup win features on all of this morning's front pages. The game against France is described as the "greatest World Cup final… since 1966" by the Sun, which carries an image of footballer Lionel Messi finally holding the trophy. He's pictured in all of the papers, with the Daily Mirror saying he's the greatest of all time and Metro headlining on "Mess hysteria". Both papers like many of the others, also carry stories about this week's strikes. The Daily Telegraph reports that walkouts are likely to leave elderly patients "stuck in hospital", while the Times writes that Border Force strikes "threaten misery for millions of passengers". Delayed 999 response times and a warning over dogs overheating are some of the other stories making the headlines. Read the newspaper review in full here. | | |

| | Do you like watching a good old-fashioned murder mystery? If you do, you're not the only one. Whodunits are big business in the film industry at the moment. Daniel Craig’s starring in Glass Onion, a sequel to Knives Out, which stormed the box office when it was released. So why is this film genre still popular? Find out here.
Most of us will know who has done it in the next one, but that doesn't matter because children will be focused on one thing - finding the Elf on the Shelf. They search for the elf that has been hidden each day in the run-up to Christmas. It's a craze that has taken off on social media, and we've asked parents what they think. This is what they had to say.
And finally, if you celebrate Christmas you will have been told naughty children receive a lump of coal on 25 December. But many coal mines have been abandoned, and most people don't realise they're underneath their feet. We've had a tour inside one. Take a look. | | |
