this is bbc news. the headlines at six... conservative mps urge the prime minister to reset his government after the departure of his top adviser, dominic cummings. a thumbs up from president trump as thousands of his supporters line the streets of the us capital. this is the scene live in washington, as crowds march in support of the president's unsubstantiated claims of voterfraud. financial pressure builds for the 2.9 million people in the uk who are still excluded from the chancellor's coronavirus income support schemes. and diwali with a difference — the festival of lights is celebrated in a socially distanced way by hundreds of millions of people around the world.

good evening. several senior conservatives have urged the prime minister to use the departure of his chief adviser dominic cummings to "reset government". mr cummings walked out of downing street last night after the resignation of another seniorfigure, the director of communications lee cain. the former brexit secretary david davis told the bbc that ministers are now hoping for "more of a say" in how the country is governed. a warning — this report from our political correspondent nick eardley contains flashing images. the dominic cummings era in government is coming to an end. borisjohnson wants to clear the air in downing street and that means his chief aide, seen here this morning leaving home,

won't be returning to number 10. the way this place works matters to us all. to how decisions are made, to the direction of policy. after the very high profile departures of recent days, and some of the drama inside, some tories are hoping for a change. it does give the government a chance to reset all sorts of things, its relationship with parliament, the way it deals with the press and many of the failures of the last nine months have not been mr cummings‘s fault, they have been intrinsic in the system. there have been many unhappy tory mps in recent months. angry at high profile u—turns, worried the prime minister wasn't listening to them. one of them told me changes in the top team would be important. it's going to make an enormous difference. over the past year, there has been a significant and growing gap between the number 10 operation and the parliamentary party. we are enormously fond of him, and we felt we were losing him.

and some colleagues felt he had been lost altogether. but now, we are looking forward to marching in lockstep alongside our prime minister. this is the prime minister last night, with another key aide, lee cain. mr cain quit after a power struggle over whether he would be mrjohnson‘s chief of staff. allies say his departure was amicable, but those unhappy with his role included the prime minister's fiancee, carrie symonds. the man who ran number 10 for theresa may says the prime minister now has a chance to get things back on track. there is a big opportunity for him here, depending on the decisions he now makes. but i think in terms of the chief of staff role, the key thing i would say is that the most important word in the job title is staff, not chief. you are there not to try and deliver your own political agenda, your own views about what should happen to the country, but to make the government machine work for the prime minister. and there are big

decisions to be made. the decisions to be made. government has to decide o next the government has to decide on the next couple of weeks whether to sign a trade agreement with europe and what happens when the lockdown in england and is on the 2nd of december. ultimately, those decisions are for the prime minister, not for his aides. but after the departures of the last few days, the tories hoping it will be a lot smoother. the latest government figures show there were 26,860 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. that means that the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is now 2a,702. 1,617 people have been admitted to hospital on average each day over the week to last tuesday. and a62 deaths were reported — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. it means on average in the past week, a11 deaths were announced every day.

it takes the total number of deaths so far across the uk to 51,766. the government's decision to extend the furlough scheme and to increase help for the self—employed has brought relief to millions of workers. but many others are still falling through the gaps. it's thought that 2.9 million people, from freelancers and contractors to small business owners, are still excluded in some way from the chancellor's income support schemes. rishi sunak says he's doing all he can, but as emma simpson now reports, the financial pressure is building for those who've missed out. 98% of our earnings have gone. the rug was pulled from under our feet. now it is sleepless nights. ian and lindsay run a successful corporate catering business. they should be flat out right now —

instead they are not sure if any of these dishes will be made. ian is a limited company director, so they are only entitled to £1180 each a month on furlough. they have been using savings set aside for tax bills and a bounce—back loan to keep going. it's not going to last forever. there will come a point in time when... there will be no money. the pot is empty. the pot is empty and we've got nowhere to hide then. and then it doesn't make sense why we kept our staff on if the business goes under, because why support businesses by giving staff furlough, keeping them employed, only for them to lose theirjobs because the business wasn't supported in the first place? they want the chancellor to give them the same support as everyone else. i'd like to beg him if necessary to help those that need it because at the moment people are suicidal. ian and lindsey feel

as if they are on borrowed time, but for others the time has already run out. some have lost everything they worked for because they've fallen between the cracks. at the beginning of the lockdown in march, it was really about getting support out quickly to those who needed it and there wasn't much time for the government to think about how best to target support. but now that the support packages have been extended once again, the government should be thinking about how best to target support to those who need it. there is always a cast of thousands at the end of a blockbuster movie, and many of them are self—employed like louise burton. but this contract ruled her out for self employment job support. i pay tax, why shouldn't i be eligible for any kind of support? itjust makes me furious. and, you know, my mental health has been suffering because of this crisis. i know self—employment is hard

and i know the industry is hard, but you never expect to be left out like this. the treasury says it has delivered one of the most comprehensive packages of support in the world. but eight months on, the pressure is increasing to do more to help the millions who missed out. emma simpson, bbc news. talks on a post—brexit trade agreement have made less progress in the past week than the eu had hoped for. an eu source said one of the meetings was "short and brutal". one of the uk contingent said "big gaps" still remained between the two sides, with sticking points around fishing quotas and trading standards on goods. there are just seven weeks for any deal to be agreed and ratified, before the end of the transition period on january the first. the bakery chain, greggs, has announced plans to cut more than 800 jobs because of a fall in sales due to the coronavirus restrictions. managers have warned staff the firm may not be

profitable if sales continue at lockdown levels. a woman killed in a hit—and—run crash in bolton has been named as former town mayoress gay wharton. greater manchester police say she was crossing a road when she was struck by a car on friday and was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. the driver of the car failed to stop. a 23—year—old man has been detained on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. the armed conflict between the federal government in ethiopia and forces loyal to the regional power in the northern tigray province appears to be deepening. in the latest incident, the government has accused the tigray side of firing rockets at two airports to the south. tigray officials say the missile attacks were in retaliation for government air strikes in the region. addis ababa says the rockets targeted the cities of gondar and bahir dar. at least 17,000 ethiopian refugees

have crossed the border into sudan to escape the fighting. amnesty international says there have been mass civilian killings. both sides accuse each other of targeting civilians. the un human rights office has expressed concern. while the details of the alleged mass killings reported by amnesty international in may cadera in south—west tigray have not yet been fully verified, the high commissioner is calling for a full inquiry. if confirmed as having been deliberately carried out by a party to the current fighting, these killings of civilians would, of course, amount to war crimes. kalkidan yibeltal, our correspondent in ethiopia, has this update from the capital. the rocket attacks, they were fired from the northern state of tigray, which is in fighting with the federal army, and they happened in its neighboring state of amhara. they shot these rockets at two

airports in that state, in two different cities. the federal government said that one of the airports sustained some damage. the tplf, that's the political force in the northern state of tigray. they took responsibility for the attacks. and they say that they are in retaliation for previous air strikes by the federal army in the state of tigray. so this seems to be pretty much an escalating situation. it's a story that's developing every day. but unfortunately, we are seeing tensions escalating and the situation getting worse rather than better. since the fighting broke out last week, there has been a communication breakdown. so clear information is hard to come by. so we don't know exactly what's happening there. but as per the reports by amnesty international, it seems that scores and even hundreds might have been killed. these are civilians. amnesty international is calling it a massacre. and the un is saying that

if this report is true, that could amount to war crimes. eyewitnesses told amnesty that the killings happened by retreating forces loyal to the tplf, but the tplf denied those claims. in addition to killings, we are also seeing refugees, an increase in refugees into neighboring sudan and also internally displaced people and humanitarian agencies and not being able to provide assistance to this area because of the fighting, and since transportation is interrupted. so we are seeing more and more dire reports of the cost, the human cost of this conflict. the bbc understands borisjohnson is poised to announce that the government is bringing forward a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by a decade, from 2040 to 2030. it is understood that new hybrid cars — those with electric motors as well as engines — won't be banned until 2035.

here's our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, whose report was filmed prior to the current lockdown. cars have changed surprisingly little over the years. yes, the design and the performance have improved... ..but what happens under the bonnet hasn't. i can't believe it, racing at brooklands! engine roars. listen to that! she sounds and she looks magnificent — but, remember, the basic principle of the internal combustion engine hasn't changed since this car was built 110 years ago and, remember, it relies on blowing up explosive gases. and we know that produces carbon dioxide and other pollutants. it really does accelerate fast! which is why the government isn't saying get rid of cars... ..just the engines. this is the race version ofjaguar‘s

latest electric offering, proving the performance of electric vehicles, even at the top end, is at least the equal of petrol. most of the big car companies now have at least one electric vehicle in their range, but they say the 2030 target is very ambitious. we have been an industry built on petrol, diesel engines for over a century. shifting that, with all the embedded investment, to a brand—new technology in the space of what is a few years is an incredible challenge. there are lots of questions. will electric vehicles be affordable? will they have the range we need, and where will we charge them? we really do need more charge points on city streets and in towns to cater for the people who don't have off—street parking opportunities. they need to be around, where people can see them, to give them confidence they are going to be able to charge their vehicles, and they also need to work.

back at the museum, they're putting the cars away for the night. it now looks like, from 2030, our petrol and diesel cars will be on their way to being museum pieces, too. justin rowlatt, bbc news, brooklands museum. the headlines on bbc news... conservative mps urge the prime minister to reset his government after the departure of his top adviser, dominic cummings. a thumbs up from president trump as thousands of his supporters line the streets of the us capital in support of his unsubstantiated claims of voterfraud. financial pressure builds for the 2.9 million people in the uk who are still excluded from the chancellor's coronavirus income support schemes. the world health organization has told the bbc it's "really

concerned" that some young people are qustioning whether to get vaccinated against covid—19. experts say a vaccine is the only way to rapidly stop the pandemic. but with misinformation online, research shows that a number of young people may choose not to get the jab. as olivia le poidevin reports. i would definitely take it. i would not get vaccinated. i'm on the fence. vaccination is the only thing that can get us out of this situation. the covid vaccine is looking more like a reality, with some trials showing promising results. it's the only thing that can rapidly stop this pandemic. vulnerable and older people will be first in line. but young people will need vaccinating eventually to stop covid spreading. but some are questioning whether they would want one. this king's college london study suggest 16 to 3a—year—olds in the uk are twice as likely as 55 to 75—year—olds not to want

a covid vaccination. meanwhile, in the us, one poll by pew research found only 56% of 18 to 29—year—olds they asked said they would definitely get a vaccine. some young people question why they would need to get a vaccine if they're low—risk. and this has got the world health organization worried. young people are an incredibly important part of ending this pandemic. it will be really important for young people to be vaccinated because we know from what's going on now, lots of transmission is going on among young people. so where is this concern coming from? well, partly it's about the volume of misinformation we're being exposed to. hashtags like #vaccinesaredangerous and tiktok videos are wrongly suggesting the vaccine could be dangerous to us. and some people are worried about the speed at which things are moving. i believe in the power of vaccines, but i'm having some trouble right now trusting the federal government,

and believing that anything pushed out in the short timeframe has had rigorous tests applied to it to make sure that it's safe long—term. we are concerned that there are some people who are questioning whether the vaccines are safe. there is absolutely no compromising on scientific evidence that's being collected and is being scrutinized around the safety of these vaccines. even at this speed? we get speed because there's so much support and funding that we can move quite quickly from one stage to the next without having to pause for several years and search for additional support and funding. so here are the key points — if you're under 35, don't forget, you can still get covid and become very ill. even if you're not worried about getting the virus yourself, you can still spread it by not getting a vaccine, and that would stop herd immunity from developing. and finally, all covid vaccines would have been tested on tens of thousands of people and gone through tough safety checks

before you even get one. a grandfatherfrom oldham — who spent nearly eight months in hospital being treated for coronavirus — has finally returned home. garry dissington spent several weeks in an induced coma and had to learn to walk again. many of his family and friends haven't been able to see him since march, so they all turned out to welcome him home. juliet phillips was there. after almost eight months in hospital and learning to walk again, gary dissington got a hero's welcome as he finally returned home. but this was the day his family worried would never come. at one point during his battle with coronavirus, gary was given just a 10% chance of survival. it felt like i was losing part of myself. i was actually grieving. i was crying going to bed, i was crying when i woke up.

i have always had somebody there, all my life i've been part ofa pair. so the thought of losing that other part is unthinkable. gary's recovery has been a long one. today is all the more special, though, as he will get to see his new granddaughter penny in person for the first time. i feel very overwhelmed, like, just so excited, because it'sjust been so long. obviously he's not actually met penny properly yet. so he can finally meet her. he has never held her. so obviously that is exciting. and itjust feels incredible, it is amazing that he is finally coming home. it isn'tjust gary's family cheering on his homecoming. jenny and kate cared for him throughout his time in oldham hospital. it is lovely to be here today to see him make his final step on his journey, really. the best outcome isn't always possible, isn't always there for us, but to see the best outcome today, it just gives you that sense of hope. so how do gary's family feel to finally have him home? he's a hero.

and he's testament that, don't give up hope, anybody. keep fighting it, keep fighting it. don't give up hope. it's just the best feeling. it's well overwhelming, honestly. it's brilliant. oh, my god! what did you think when you saw him? my heartjust dropped. it's just amazing that he walked up here as well. he's incredible. he is such a warrior, he's unbelievable. we just love him so much, don't we, everyone? family cheers. we're all so proud of him! juliet phillips, bbc news, oldham. lets take you now to washington dc where supporters of president trump are rallying to back his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the us election. the crowds have been gathering near freedom plaza, just east of the white house. organisers have predicted a huge turnout — although promises of massive rallies

haven't always materialised. well, a little earlier in the day, this happened. president trump's motorcade passed the gathering demonstrators on saturday morning and did a circuit of freedom plaza, before carrying on to his golf club in sterling, virginia. it's unclear if he is planning to make any further appearances. the rally is expected to be met with counter protesters, who are organising a pro—biden march to the supreme court. yesterday, all states projected their results for the presidential election, withjoe biden winning with 300 and six electoral votes, a result that mr trump is yet to recognise. joining me now from washington is our correspondent will grant. an interesting mix of people within those crowds supporting president trump. yes, i think people have travelled from all over the united states, putting to some of the voices we have heard coming out of

there. people from florida and various other states you have wanted to show, places they can drive from. you can see people leaving their hotel lobbies to get down there. a steady stream of people. when president trump came on his way through to play golf today, there we re through to play golf today, there were only a few hundred. then it swelled to its thousand, and amongst them are the members of the proud boys movement, members of the extremist fire rate movement to bring an uncomfortable edge to proceedings. president trump made a brief appearance on the way to play golf. it was a brief. we'll have to see if he makes another one on the way back. it perhaps isn't yet or isn't likely to be the million people that they expected at the start, or certainly expected to be title of the million maga ma. he has

a core group of supporters who may simply never accept theirs. federal and state level organisers said there was no evidence of any widespread voting and regularity, is a little by little comedy writing will be on the wall for president trump himself —— irregularity. whether counter protests? yes, there are. whether counter protests? yes, there a re. pretty whether counter protests? yes, there are. pretty much every time there is one side, there is the other in modern us politics. certainly, there we re modern us politics. certainly, there were some clashes or some slight kind of differences in the black lives matter plaza outside the white house last night. but this has been

such a divisive moment in the us electoral history that, really, every single time we see a demonstration of trump supporters saying this was somehow some kind of conspiracy, we will likely see the other side turning out and saying your man has to concede, has to understand this was free and fair and we have to move on as a country. the festival of lights or diwali is being celebrated today by hundreds of millions of hindus, sikhs and jains around the world — but of course it's a little bit different this year. outdoor celebrations around the uk have been called off due to the pandemic. and families are being urged to meet up virtually this weekend. meena trivedy is a music teacher and dancer — she teaches religious songs and says she'll be celebrating online this year. it is going to be very different this time and we just have to make it as special as we can, just by staying at home. obviously i have made lots of sweets and lots of food and,

as you can see, there is rangoli so i haven't actually compromised on anything else, it's just that we can't see ourfamily, we can't see our friends. but on that occasion we are just going to use the zoom and make zoom calls so we can see everyone and wish happy diwali to everyone. everybody makes rangoli during diwali, everyone makes rangoli. but the occasion can be different for everyone because everybody‘s new year falls in a different time of the lunar calendar. for gujaratis, the new yearfalls on the next day of diwali so i have made this rangoli and rangoli is coming from two words actually, rang, agoli, means the row of colours basically, that's what it means. so this is just a row of colours. usually, it is a tradition that they put rangoli patterns outside their house just to welcome the guests and not only to the guests but also welcoming

goddess lakshmi to come in and the goddess lakshmi, who is the goddess of prosperity, the goddess of wealth. it's a far cry from the tropical climate of the australian jungle, but the producers of this year's "i'm a celebrity, get me out of here" are still doing their best to make sure the celebs have a suitably uncomfortable experience. it all starts on itv tomorrow night, and hosts ant and dec have given viewers a sneak preview of their new set in the grounds of a castle in north wales. there you are, come on in for exclusive access to our set and the castle! i'll talk you through it all... actually, actually, most of the things are censored here, you can't actually see anything before the show goes on air, so... but a few bits, i can show them a few bits, come through, follow me! mmm...not very much, you can't really see, no. follow me, follow me,

like here is our area, this is our table. no, you can't see this. this is censored. is it?! yes, you can't see this at the moment, sorry. um, come round here, come round here then. this is exciting. sorry about this. what we can show you, what we can show you is this. look at this — genuine suit of... no, can't! can't see that! we have to censor that i'm afraid! no, you can't. .. that as well? no, we can't see that till the show goes on air, it's top secret. sorry about that. what we can show you, right behind me here is the castle that—! no! you can't see the castle just as yet, because that is also censored until the show goes on air. so if you could please censor the castle, blur that out or something... what can we show them then? we can't actually show you anything. in fact, you shouldn't be looking at us, we are also censored! so, if you could censor us, please! so that's the presenters, what about the stars?

shane ritchie, sir mo farah and the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire are just three of the 10 celebs heading into camp. olivia richwald has been taking a look at what they can expect. from the australian jungle to a supposedly—haunted castle in wales. this year's i'm a celebrity has relocated lock, stock and hammocks to the uk. but will the show, now in its 20th year, live up to expectations? a host of i'm a celeb's sister show thinks so. it's going to be freezing. i mean, in australia, yes, there are a lot of creepy crawlies, yes, there are snakes, yes, they‘ re hungry, yes, they're tired, but at least they've got the sunshine, whereas this time round, it is going to be so glacial. these are the sleeping quarters, and, in case you're wondering, there is at least a bit of a roof. first time we saw this castle, it immediately felt like the right place to go. it has an incredible feel to it. we love the way in which the outside is a sort of coming inside, that you have nature overrunning this place. it felt like a natural home for i'm a celebrity. producers have adapted the format.

aussie kiosk kev has been replaced by kiosk cledwyn, but the key question is, will the welsh critters be as horrifying as their australian counterparts? they are bringing in so many critters and all sorts and i don't know if i'm allowed to say, i'm going to say it anyway, so one of the new creatures is the bald rat. now, i've never heard of a bald rat before rehearsals yesterday and i would be petrified. there are ten contestants going into the castle and one of them should have an advantage. he's already a knight. bbc presenter victoria derbyshire is another bracing herself for a less than luxury experience, this is the camp shower and toilet. i'm not risk averse and i want to immerse myself in adventures like this. other contestants include shane ritchie who says he's taking part because he needs the cash. former strictly professional dancer aj prichard, pa ralympian hollie arnold
