good morning, it's wednesday morning, i'm victoria derbyshire, here are the latest headlines: nhs staff and care workers will be prioritised — as the government tries to get to grips with the surge in demand for coronavirus tests. we are working night and day to improve and increase the capacity and the turnaround. the uk's inflation rate fell to a five—year low in august — as the effect of the eat out to help out scheme pushed down restaurant prices. longer jail sentences for serious criminals under plans announced by the government. drinking when you're pregnant — official advice is don't drink at all — now it's being proposed that even one glass of wine should be marked on your child's medical records. the reason for that? to accurately identify children at risk of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder. if you're pregnant or on maternity leave, let me know if you have had

a drink or two during your pregnancy — @vicderbyshire on instagram and twitter or email victoria@bbc.co.uk and postponed physical check—ups on babies born during lockdown could mean that many cases of a condition called hip dysplasia have been missed, warns a charity — we'll explain exactly what hip dysplasia is in half an hour. the government says it will announce details in the next few days of how it will limit access to coronavirus tests, as the system struggles to cope with the surge in demand. staff and patients in the nhs and social care sector will be given

priority after the health secretary, matt hancock, said it might be weeks before the problems are resolved. another cabinet minister, robert buckland, acknowledged the government is facing "real challenges" and insisted it will "do whatever it takes" to increase laboratory capacity. greg mckenzie reports. the signs are clear, the testing system is struggling to cope, with reports that some in desperation are turning up at accident and emergency seeking coronavirus tests. it has led to this warning in bolton, which currently has the highest infection rate in england. please, do not attend the hospital here if you think you have covid—19. unless you are seriously unwell, for example if you have difficulty breathing or if you have been sent here from a consultation with a gp. the government says there are more tests being done in the uk than in most european countries

and it wants to double the number by october. but with the health secretary matt hancock admitting the current crisis would take weeks to fix, many who need one are finding it difficult to get a test now. a care worker, i came in on sunday and i can't go to work. i tried online, on the government website but there is nothing there. it keeps saying busy, come back in a couple of hours, come back in a couple of hours. it constantly does that and when you are off work, as a key worker, it is very difficult. backlogs in testing samples in labs have led to a limit on the number of testing slots available. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, said the system's struggles have come at the worst possible time. the problem is if testing fails everything else fails with it. without good testing there is no tracing,

no isolating and this will mean we cannot have any effective control of the virus, and it comes at the worst possible time. i think we have two or three weeks to fix these things and if we don't, the worry is we will never regain control as we go into the rest of the autumn and winter. the health secretary has said there will be prioritisation of tests for people with acute clinical need and those in social care settings. but nhs leaders have called for health workers to be near the top of that list as well as demand for tests continues to outstrip supply. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, is at westminster. it jonathan blake, is at westminster. is still going to weeks it is still going to take a few weeks to sort this, it would appear. yes, that is matt hancock said yesterday and with that there was an admission that this is a problem and

admission that this is a problem and a problem not going away fast and it is clear to see why there is the strain on the system for coronavirus tests across the uk, particularly in england, because lockdown restrictions have eased, schools have gone back, summer is turning to autumn and with that there is an increase in demand for tests and that demand is not being met at the moment, it is clear to see from the reports we have seen and heard over the last few days, by the capacity in the system, so it will take weeks to sort out. there will be a new system of prioritising tests for those working in the nhs and care home sector is and beyond that we will have to hear from the government in the coming days and this morning the justice government in the coming days and this morning thejustice secretary acknowledged that this was a huge challenge for the government but said it was working hard to meet that. we are working night and day to improve and increase the capacity and the turnaround.

which is so important for families. the demand of course has picked up as schools have come back and as the economy comes back to life. this is a huge challenge. the health secretary has set out his bold agenda on this and we are putting the resources in to deal with this. yes, there is still a lot to be done — i am not shying away from that for a minute. ministers have talked about a moon short of mass community testing and also this world beating test and trace also this world beating test and tra ce syste m also this world beating test and trace system the prime minister promised and i am sure those words will be turned back on him today in parliament at prime minister's questions when he faces the labour deputy leader because keir starmer is self isolating and later this afternoon facing a panel of senior backbench mps at the liaison committee where the government's

response to coronavirus will come under close scrutiny. let's talk to professor christina pagel from university college london — an expert in operational issues in health care, and a member of the alternative sage group of scientists scrutinising the government's handling of covid — and tina reynolds — a childminder and carer. she's been trying to get a test for her 15—year—old son since monday. she looks after seven children during the day — all of whose parents are key workers — all of whom are now having to self—isolate. because of your 15—year—old son, is that right? absolutely, yeah. echoing what is happening all over the uk at the moment. we are desperate to get test so they can go back to school and i can get back to work. at the weekend i am a carer for a very understanding car company that we are alljust for a very understanding car company that we are all just trying for a very understanding car company that we are alljust trying to get tests so we can go back to

normality. you have been trying online. yes, he started developing a cough monday morning. i closed down childminding and started self isolating. straightaway we went on to the website, tried to get home tests, tried to get a walking test, drive—through test, everything was com pletely drive—through test, everything was completely ta ken, so drive—through test, everything was completely taken, so then i phoned 119 and was on hold for another and they said ijust have to keep trying, keep refreshing, there might bea trying, keep refreshing, there might be a possibility of more tests later that evening, which we tried, test sites were coming up, but when i was trying to look at the times it was just saying there was nothing available and it would take me right back to the beginning again. have you tried your gp? i phoned my gp. have you tried to get one privately?

i tried, it was 100 and 50p but there was not any available. i was on hold to the gp for a0 minutes for advice and they said the only thing ican do advice and they said the only thing i can do is get a test for him. christina, what do you think of the situation tina and others find themselves in? it is awful. awful from a personal point of view, awful for the impact on these people's lives which are on hold and from a population point of view it is really dangerous because we cannot keep track now of covid and where it is spreading and how it is spreading, how quickly, and the danger is that when we get a hold on it, whenever testing is fixed in a few weeks, we will already be at maybe 20,000 cases a day and everything gets much more difficult. what are the implications of not being able to get a taste if you have symptoms? some people will be

self isolating, which is a really good thing to do, but also really difficult, and some people will not. if they do not have a positive test they will continue working. many people do not have a choice about going to work. contacts will not be traced and so they will not isolate so traced and so they will not isolate so covid is being given free reign to spread. do you have any suggestions? i think apart from trying to fix it as quickly as possible all we can do as individuals try to do the things we know we can do which is mask wearing, hand washing, social distancing, working from home if you can, try not to see that many people. it is not that much fun but those are things we can do to try to stop transmission. the government says it is going to prioritise testing so nhs staff and patients, ca re testing so nhs staff and patients, care home residents and staff will go to the top of that here. do you think teachers should be prioritised? i do not know how much

pick capacity there is to prioritise lots of people. i think those two areas, the nhs and care homes, are the right ones, just because i do not know, there is a hospital in manchester which recently had quite a few deaths that seem to be linked to in—hospital transmission of covid so to in—hospital transmission of covid so it is important nhs staff can get tested, and care homes we know are particularly vulnerable so they should be top of the queue. yeah, teachers, key workers, childminders, people who have a lot of contact with others should be priority for testing. tina, your15-year-old, even he will have to wait at home for two weeks or you will manage to get a test and hopefully it will come back negative but in the meantime he is 15 and due to take his gcses at the end of this year i guess. are you worried about that? absolutely. he cannot afford to miss any more school. every time he gets

any more school. every time he gets a call for cold he cannot miss two weeks every time. it is essential he is back at school as soon as possible but you have to take a test within the first five days so if he doesn't get a test in the next few days and results by the weekend he is going to have to be out of school for some of next week, all of next week, as well. the repercussions of not having tests on site of a school or near a school is actually really awfulfor so many or near a school is actually really awful for so many people or near a school is actually really awfulfor so many people in or near a school is actually really awful for so many people in the community, all around us. awful for so many people in the community, allaround us. i awful for so many people in the community, all around us. i am awful for so many people in the community, all around us. iam not able to work, my key worker families that i look after are not able to work, i cannot see my elderly customers at the weekend because i ama customers at the weekend because i am a carer. i cannot get a test because there is no tests around even though i am so urgently needing to go back out to work. tina, thank

you. good luck. christina, thank you for your time as well from the alternative sage group. i have m essa 9 es alternative sage group. i have messages from you about the implications for schools. a15—year—old might have a cold that he has had to go home because it could be a symptom of covid and it is not the head teacher saying you cannot come back, those the guidelines. 0ne cannot come back, those the guidelines. one woman has tried over 70 times to get a covid test for her two sons sent home because they have symptoms. they have been diagnosed with tonsillitis but they cannot go back to school until they have a negative test or self isolated for two weeks. lots of messages about schools being affected. in leeds two yea rs schools being affected. in leeds two years being sent home to self—isolate because one person and their bubble has tested positive. in romford a third of children at a primary school level have been sent home and five teachers. in bracknell

greg says the majority of children have colds and sore throats and stupid parents are panicking, the scene each year, the problem is we are cleaner this year because we are washing our hands, so probably there will be no flu this year as well. marie and bradford, three secondary year groups have been sent home for a week, teacher self isolating, so not enough staff available to keep the whole school open. and so it goes on. thank you for those. get in touch, you can message me on instagram or twitter or email me. the rate of inflation in the uk fell sharply last month. it dropped to 0.2% — from 1% injuly — as the effect of the eat out to help 0ut scheme pushed down restaurant prices. that's the lowest inflation rate since late 2015. we can speak to our business presenter ben thompson. tell us about the significance of this figure. yes, you are right to

highlight that that eat out to help out scheme was the big contributor to that fall in inflation, which measures how quickly an average prices are rising for stuff that we buy or consume. that fall in food prices accounted for about half of that fall so a significant proportion but there were also falls in airfares because proportion but there were also falls in air fares because fewer people going on holidays and also at this time of year normally we start to get autumn clothing and the prices on that are higher and some are so inflation is normally on the way up but that did not happen so there we re but that did not happen so there were a lot of firsts in these numbers. the first time prices in restau ra nts numbers. the first time prices in restaurants were negative, the first time airfares were negative as well, so the overall rates of inflation falling to 0.2%. it still means they

are going up but not as quickly, and thatis are going up but not as quickly, and that is down from 1% a month before. you might wonder why any of this really matters, a percentage here or there, but it may protect some of our rather squeezed incomes. if we are finding it tougher to go out and spend we may be getting fewer hours of work, we may have lost theirjob entirely, so cash is pretty tight, the fact inflation is coming down, prices are not going up as quickly, our money goes a bit further, so on that basis things might be looking a bit better. the bank of england has a target of 2% and we are still a way of that but a glimmer of good news is that our money goes a little bit further while inflation is quite low. thank you. mps say there's been "u na cce pta bly slow" progress in the removal of dangerous cladding from high—rise buildings — which was due to be replaced byjune. according to the commons public accounts committee, nearly 250 buildings with similar cladding to that used on grenfell tower still have it.

ministers say they've made £1.6 billion available to speed up the process. the foreign secretary, dominic raab, will meet senior us politicians in washington later amid anger over the government's plans to breach parts of the brexit withdrawal deal. in a letter to borisjohnson last night, four senior congressmen warned that a uk—us trade deal would be blocked if there were any risk to the good friday agreement. downing street said the legislation was a legal safety net — to ensure the agreement was upheld in all circumstances. serious and violent criminals in england and wales would serve at least two thirds of their jail sentence, rather than half, under measures proposed by the government today. the changes to sentencing will be put forward in a white paper — that's a policy document that sets out the government's plans for future laws. the criminaljustice system ground to a halt during the coronavirus

pandemic, meaning backlogs and delays for victims and defendants, who are facing trial dates years ahead. here's our home affairs correspondent, june kelly tougherjail terms for serious criminals. this is the government's message with this overhaul of the sentencing system. but the smarter sentencing, as it is being described, also includes greater use of measures aimed at rehabilitation. chris mcgrath, with martin bruin, the psychologist who helped him to turn his life around, with one—on—one sessions which addressed his mental health issues and broke his of reoffending, which had gone on for 16 years. i'd be out from friday till sunday, sometimes even longer, spending my wages, losing jobs and losing friends. i have gained all that back and more. more friends, a betterjob, a great relationship with my children. so, why can community—based

sentences, which involve treatment, be a better alternative to prison? much of the clientele we see have been struggling with long—term mental health or substance abuse difficulties for quite some time. without the support, that creates a revolving door where they are in and out of the justice system because no—one is treating the root cause of the problem. serious offenders like rapists, young killers and those convicted of terrorism face harsher penalties. but all these proposals come as the court system is facing a massive backlog of cases that has left so many, including victims, in legal limbo. let's talk about having a drink when you're pregnant — the official advice is that you shouldn't drink at all from the very moment you become pregnant until you give birth. now, it's reported the national insitute for health

and care excellence in england is proposing any drink you have — even a single glass of wine — shld be marked on a child's medical records. let's talk now to clare murphy from the british pregnancy advisory service. the reason for this proposal is so that it will be possible to identify which children are at risk of alcohol fatal spectrum disorder, which can have a big impact on a child's behaviour. what do you think of the proposal? i think they are disproportionate and it is important that children get the support in the right pathways but i do not think these proposals are the way to achieve that so this would see any alcohol in pregnancy transferred to alcohol in pregnancy transferred to a child's health record. we know there is really no compelling evidence of harm at lower levels so there is a real evidence—based

problem with these proposals but also there is a massive data privacy infringement being proposed here. pregnant women do not lose the right to medical confidentiality in the right to an open confrontation and confidential conversation with the midwife because they are pregnant. —— open conversation. midwife because they are pregnant. -- open conversation. let me read you this, so many children with alcohol faetal spectrum disorder are unable to get a diagnosis because there is no record of the mum drinking during pregnancy. fair? absolutely we need to work out how to support these children but i do not think this broad brush blanket approach quizzing every woman at every antenatal appointment when we know there are a huge number of things going on in pregnant women's

lies. being able to talk about things like mental health, stress management. this really massively diverse the focus away from pregnant women's actual needs during the antenatal period and it represents a massive incursion on women's data privacy. this is not the road to go down. it will not help pregnant women or the babies they go on to have. meghan says what a great way to scare women going through such a lot. i had a premature baby during the pandemic and my sister is expecting her second child. we both had the occasional child when pregnant and there are bigger things to worry about, such as not getting the appointments you need, or coronavirus, which caused my baby to be fairly underweight. is it shinning pregnant women? yes. the

real problem with how we talk about pregnancy and the kind of messages we give out to women where i think increasingly women feel incredibly anxious that anything they do... there was a story the other week about not having coffee in pregnancy. anything they do, leaving their houses, having coffee, having their houses, having coffee, having the odd glass of wine, having paracetamol, all of these things portrayed as being potentially harmful when actually the evidence in any of these things is not good. women need evidence—based advice on what to make the decision but it is very important we do not increase women's anxiety in pregnancy which is already an anxious time and to make women feel as if they are being monitored in this way is really problematic. these proposals are effectively from the moment of conception as far as i understand it andjill says conception as far as i understand it and jill says i didn't even conception as far as i understand it andjill says i didn't even have conception as far as i understand it and jill says i didn't even have any idea i was pregnant until i was

eight or nine weeks. exactly. lots of unplanned pregnancy in this country. lots of women will have drunk before they know they are pregnant. chief medical officer very clear, if you have drunk a little bit before you before you know you are pregnant, please do not worry, the risk of harm is likely to be very small. i think we really increase anxiety at what is already an anxious time. lots of women do not know they are pregnant and will have had a drink before they are pregnant and the message needs to be that they do not have to worry. also perhaps lots of people do not know about fasd and emma louise says my two children were born disabled because their birth mum drank during pregnancy. they and we love dearly with consequences of the lifelong irreversible brain damage it caused. it was hard to get diagnosed even

with social service evidence of alcohol consumption. it is worth trying to find out about that disorder, isn't it? without a shadow of doubt. the question is how to best do this. i think it is very clear women understand and see those m essa g es clear women understand and see those messages about alcohol in pregnancy and that is borne out by the very low numbers of women who report drinking anything over again it a week in pregnancy. less than 3% are drinking more than a unit a week. there are women who absolutely struggle with alcohol problems who need help and support. i do not think ignorance is the issue, it is about working out how we can best support those mums who are struggling with sometimes very complex situations of which alcohol is only one part and ensuring the best outcomes for those mothers and their babies and that is what the priority needs to be that these

proposals are absolutely not the way to achieve that. thank you, clare murphy from the british pregnancy advisory service. the family of breonna taylor, killed by police in her own home in louisville, kentucky, have agreed a twelve million dollar settlement with the city. the 26—year—old emergency medical technician was shot eight times in march by police who broke through her front door in the middle of the night, during a mistaken drugs raid. mark lobel reports. herface remembered on magazines and murals across america. beloved by her family, with dreams of becoming a nurse, breonna taylor's name has come to symbolise a national slogan against police violence. the 26—year—old african american was an emergency room technician. in march, police entered her apartment after midnight on a no—knock warrant and shot her multiple times fatally. her boyfriend, a licensed

gun owner, shot out at what he thought were burglars, but it was in fact a drugs raid. no drugs were found, and the intended suspect was not present. the tragedy gained prominence following the death of george floyd in police custody two months later. the original police report resembled a cover—up, with no mention of how breonna's life was ended so abruptly. but after protests ravaged kentucky's largest city, a wrongful death lawsuit was instigated by breonna's mother. city officials have now agreed to pay the family $12 million. i'm deeply, deeply sorry for breonna's death. while we await a decision from attorney—general daniel cameron on whether or not charges will be filed in this case, my administration is not waiting to move ahead with needed reforms to prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again.

the dozen reforms announced include commanding officers to review and sign off all search warrants, an early warning system to identify officers with disciplinary problems, and two hours of community service a week encouraged for officers. there are two ongoing investigations into the white police officers involved — a criminal inquiry by the state alongside an fbi inquiry into civil rights violations. but so far, no—one's been charged. as significant as today is, it's only the beginning of getting fulljustice for breonna. we must not lose focus on what the real drive is, and, with that being said, it's time to move forward with the criminal charges because she deserves that and much more. her beautiful spirit and personality is working he

to say her name. mark lobel, bbc news. kim kardashian west and other stars won't post on instagram or facebook for 2a hours from today as part of a protest to pressure the world's biggest social media firm to fight hate and disinformation. the boycott is organised by "stop hate for profit", a coalition of civil rights groups. facebook, which owns instagram, has come under pressure from activists, governments and companies that advertise on its platforms for tougher action. now, the weather, with matt taylor. very good morning to you, a bit of heatin very good morning to you, a bit of heat in the air today across the south, bit coolerfurther heat in the air today across the south, bit cooler further north. top and tailwe south, bit cooler further north. top and tail we have got sunshine, it is this area of cloud though, which will be bringing about change, moving southwards and westwards. showers in the south—east corner fading away, a bit of drizzle, a

touch in scotland, northern england but a brierling day for the north of scotland. temperature also have cop dropped here in northern ireland too, and across northern england by ten degrees for one or two. feeling chilly on the coasts. south of the midlands we will see blue skies dominate. not quite the 3 is of yesterday, but temperatures round 25-28 yesterday, but temperatures round 25—28 through this afternoon. last time we will see those because that weather front is on the move. a humid night towards the channel islands but elsewhere fresher starts to tomorrow, temperatures in single figures in the countryside, but it will be a largely dry day, a bit of rain on friday, north of scotland and on sunday in southern counties, other than that dry sunny weather to come. bye for now. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. the wait continues for coronavirus tests — as the government tries to get

to grips with the surge in demand we are working night and day to improve the capacity and the turn round. the uk's inflation rate fell to a five—year low in august — as eat out to help 0ut pushed down restaurant prices. longer jail sentences for serious criminals under plans announced by the goverment. drinking when you're pregnant: official advice is don't drink at all — now it's being proposed that even one glass of wine should be marked on your child's medical records sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. we start with what would be a huge premier league transfer. gareth bale is in talks with his former club tottenham over his agent has said "it's where he wants to be!" he left for real madrid seven years ago for £85 million, and the wales captain's been enormously successful there — winning the champions league four times and the spanish league twice. but he hasn't played much in the last year or so. if the deal goes ahead, spurs will need to figure

out his wages though. he's thought to be paid £600,000 a week by real madrid. across north london good news for arsenalfans. their star striker and captain pierre—emerick aubameyang ended doubts about his future by signing a new three—year contract with the club — making him one of the premier league's best paid players. it was a busy night in the efl cup, head over to the bbc sport website for all the results from those 16 ties. but we'll show you a cracking goal from aston villa's win over burton albion. it was scored by captain jack grealish. captain jack grealish, who's having a pretty good september. he made his england debut last tuesday, and then yesterday signed a new five—year contract with villa. ..before going out and helping his side through to the next round in style. reinging champion egan bernal is out

of this year's tour de france. the ineos rider has withdrawn ahead of today's stage 17 — he came into the tour with a back problem, and really struggled as the riders hit the mountains in the last few days. he wasjust over 19 minutes off the leader. the nine—time irish champion jockey pat smullen has died at the age of a3. his career saw him win the derby at epsom in 2016, and he also won the irish derby twice. smullen retired from racing last year after treatment for pancreatic cancer. the 20—time champion jockey ap mccoy's amongst those to pay tribute, describing smullen as a "great friend". and there's the final international action of the men's cricketing summer this afternoon. england play australia in the final one—dayer of their three match series. it's level at one match a piece at the moment, so today's game at old trafford is winner takes all.

ball—by—ball commentary is on 5live sports extra from 12:a5. more from the bbc sports centre throughout the day but that's all from me. hip dysplasia is a condition where the ball and socketjoint of the hips don't line up properly. it affects one in every 1000 babies. if it's caught early, the condition is fixable, but if untreated, hip dysplasia can cause severe issues later in life. now, the leading hip dysplasia charity in the uk has told the bbc they're concerned the postponement of physical check—ups on babies during lockdown could have left cases of hip dysplasia undiagnosed. ellie costello reports. this is emmy. she was born in may, and due to lockdown restrictions, her six—week checkup was delayed to 12 weeks.

she has since been diagnosed with a severe form of hip dysplasia and will need surgery. the news came as a shock. so we had a late loss in between my first child and emmy, which hit us quite hard, i think. so she is very precious, a bit of a diva. and i think for any parent it is quite concerning to see them go through surgery. it is not something that any parent wants to see happen, but for a rainbow baby i think it is especially hard. so what is hip dysplasia? the ball is the top of the thigh bone and the socket is part of the pelvis. in a healthy normal hip those to fit together perfectly. like an egg in an egg cup. but for someone with hip dysplasia, it is not that simple. the socket can be shallow and the ball can move in and out, causing pain and discomfort.

natalie trice is a mother of two and founder of the uk's only hip dysplasia charity, ddhuk. she fears there will be many other children like emmy with delayed diagnosis because of lockdown. you could not diagnose hip dysplasia in a baby by video consultation. it is the face—to—face contact with gps and health visitors, the most crucial checks where they look for other things. but when they examine the hips they have to feel the baby, they have to feel how that socket, that ball—and—socket is working. so if those are being missed, the longer the diagnosis is made, the harder it is to fix the problem. natalie's son lucas has hip dysplasia. he is now 11, but has had seven operations. he suffered with ptsd and had to take a year out of school. the impact when it is missed

can be catastrophic. nobody knows that more than gemma. she has had a lifetime of health problems. i lost my mobility, i lost my self—worth, my confidence, started to become depressed. atjust 31 years old, she has now had two hip replacements. i'm now walking every day, i am pain free, i am able to take up activities i never thought i would. i don't want individuals going through the journey i have gone through, that is my hope, that is my wish and i believe that, you know, today detection is crucial. emmy‘s mum natalie says that new parents need to be aware of symptoms of hip dysplasia. my biggest advice would be to trust your instincts. if you notice things such as a resistance in nappy

changes or the leg length, get checked. go to the gp. with me is hannah purdy, one of the youngest peole to undergo a hip replacement at 17. also i'm joined by pranai buddhdev, a paediatric 0rthopaedic & hip preservation surgeon. babies aren't being check and early detection is key. yes, so, hip dysplasia is a very common issue we sarkese especially as a paediatric surgeon, it is important to know all babies are examined within the first 72 hours and one of the checks is for dysplasia. if a baby is found in the hospital, they are usually sent foran the hospital, they are usually sent for an urgent ultrasound but there isa for an urgent ultrasound but there is a huge population of babies that

don't have any abnormal signs when they are examined and they should have an ultrasound if they have any risk factor, that is usually confirmed by the gp at their six week check which in lockdown has to be delayed in some cases. week check which in lockdown has to be delayed in some casesm week check which in lockdown has to be delayed in some cases. if you are a new parent, is there a way that you could tell yourself if there was a problem, i meanly my‘s mum mentioned it. she talked about leg length, are there any other clues?|j would say when changing a nappy, usually you would spread the legs apartand usually you would spread the legs apart and you will find if it is only affecting one side one hip would not move as freak frequently as the other, there would be a disparity between the two sides. that is probably the most tell—tale signa that is probably the most tell—tale sign a parent will be able to find. some feel they may have a small click but this is again something that should be reviewed by a gp and referred to a specialist if concerned. hannah, you are nine yea rs post concerned. hannah, you are nine years post your hip replacement, which you had as a teenager, talk us through why you had to have it aged

17. when i was born there was a lot of uncertainty, as to whether i had hip dysplasia or not. when i was 18 months i was checked by the gp and i had two surgeries to insert screws inmy left hipjoint, that resulted in me being in a cast for an extended period of time. thankfully i lived a relatively normal childhood, with minimal pain, just my normal check ups with my orthopaedic surgeon, when i was 15, i had orthopaedic surgeon, when i was 15, ihad an orthopaedic surgeon, when i was 15, i had an on set of acute pain, out of nowhere, i was simply walking round the house and i was referred to an orthopaedic surge who said i would need a hip replacement which stated me, because at 15 you never thought you would need one, we try loads of alternative treatment. they only gave me a few months pain free or didn't work at all, and when i was 17, we went ahead we the hip

replacement which was a big issue, real concern for me, being so young and being one of the youngest people in the united kingdom to have that hip replacement, especially after i had just completed my a—levels the day before. buts having it, how did that change your life? 0h, day before. buts having it, how did that change your life? oh, i couldn't go back, i can't describe it. it has given me my quality of life back, i have no quality of life before my hip replacement in those two years, i was on crutches or in a wheelchair, having very strong painkiller, my teachers had to sit me near a window to keep my awake andl me near a window to keep my awake and i had to have assistance getting dressed. i and i had to have assistance getting dressed. lam and i had to have assistance getting dressed. i am in and i had to have assistance getting dressed. lam in my fourth and i had to have assistance getting dressed. i am in my fourth year of teaching languages in a secondary school and i have very little pain andl school and i have very little pain and i would say if you spoke to my of my colleagues they wouldn't know i have had a hip replacement. so it has been liberating. let me come back to you. in terms of the treatment for babies, and in terms

of how we catch up on the sort of screening of those babies who may have missed that six week gp appointment, what would you suggest? soi appointment, what would you suggest? so i think all parents should be wear of this problem, and as i mentioned if there is any issues with their concerns they should be seen by a gp. depending on age they can be referred for ultrasound, most units have got back up and running, subsequently be referred to a specialist if necessary, if they are older than six months it is better to probably do an x—ray, and again, if it is over six months or the hip was dislocated they may need a surgeries it's a relatively smaller surgery than what hannah had, that would have been the one after walking age, really think for the future of this, there are other countries like austria, switzerland, germany who have universal ultrasound screening, meaning every has an ultra sound at birth, that is something we are trying to work to asa something we are trying to work to as a community of paediatric orthopaedic surgeons. fortunately

hip displayia only affected 0.2 of baby, autumn newborns have been continued to be screened for it immediately after birth, which is what you referred to. they go on to say, and although gps should continue to offer face to face appointments where checks have been unavoidably impacted by the pandemic, parents can be reassured that treatment should be no less effective. so, yes, that is a message to parent, isn't it. thank you both of you, thank you for coming ellie gould had dreams of going to university. but her life was tragically cut short last year when she was murdered by her ex—boyfriend. she was 17 years old. now, herfriends are preparing to go to university themselves. 0ur reporter fi lamdin has been talking to them, and ellie's mum. are you vegetarian? it is like old times

but there is one missing. it's weird to think i'm going off to uni and ellie is not now. 16 months ago, ellie gould was murdered by her ex—boyfriend, thomas griffiths. she was 17 years old. ellie's mum carole is hosting one last get together before they go to university. it's really hard because ijust know how excited ellie would have been to embrace the next stages of her life. i often think she would have had me running round all the shops, getting saucepans and tea towels and all the things she would have needed, and you know, she would have been so excited. you know, facing the next stage, and all that has been taken away from her. does it help, spending time with ellie's friends? we wanted to see them all before they went and wish them all the best. but at the same time, i should have been wishing ellie off as well. # nice to meet you, where you been? # i can show you incredible things...# ellie, with her friend raven, five years ago. # but i hope for the day

i can see you again.# when ellie was murdered, raven wrote a song to express her grief. if i can write a song that could help other people to kind of have a release of how they feel about this, then that would be amazing. and i literally sat down and i wrote the whole thing in about an hour, maybe. it was this song that secured her place studying songwriting at university. with, as well, like obvious all of us moving off to uni, like, one thing with our year group, is like we all came together because we had to. it is hard, then, with all of us moving to different cities, not having people who understand, necessarily. it has definitely made a huge impact on the way that i think, and i think that is the same for everyone and the way we kind of view the world. it's like, trying to feel safe in it again, i guess, yeah. ellie was still tilda's best friend. losing her has changed everything. i know especially after ellie died,

even the thought of uni made me want to have a panic attack. it was awful. now, i'm actually at the stage where i could be going off, ijust thought if i end up going i will have a nervous breakdown. there is not a day where i don't think about her. she is in my head all the time. doesn't matter how many people i get close to or people i meet, there is no—one quite like her. i grew up with her. we shaped each other as people, i think. i am gratefulfor the person i am today because she sort of shaped that. used to living in each other‘s pockets, soon these friends will be scattered around the country. carole has brought them a gift, so ellie can still go with them. the last time i saw ellie was in the school, sixth form study room. and alongside leaving that chapter of my life behind, i also feel like i am leaving ellie behind. it's something i struggle with a lot, but i'm coming to terms with the fact that i will never leave her behind, she will come with me. wherever i go and wherever

i will make new friendships, and i know she would want us to carry on. so i would never be leaving her behind, she will always be with us. fiona lamdin, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. nhs staff and care workers will be prioritised — as the government tries to get to grips with the surge in demand for coronavirus tests. the uk's inflation rate fell to a five—year low in august — as the affect of the eat 0ut to help 0ut scheme pushed down restaurant prices. longer jail sentences for serious criminals under plans announced by the goverment. more now on our main story. the government says it will announce details in the next few days of how it will limit access to coronavirus tests as the system struggles to cope with the surge in demand. these pictures from this mroning show queues outside a testing centre in southend. officials in bolton have now issued an urgent plea for people not to attend hospitals to try to get tested. the town has the highest
