6:06 pm
in the last few weeks we have had extreme heat waves in canada, wildfires in siberia, devastating floods in europe, more flooding in china, we are seeing the effects everywhere. to some extent these changes are already baked into the system. the greenhouse gases are already up there in the atmosphere. global temperatures have risen. the air is holding more moisture which means more rain but we can do things to stop it getting worse. decisions about what people eat to the transport figures to whether they fly or not, but really this is going to require some fundamental shifts, phasing out fossil fuels, to require some fundamental shifts, phasing out fossilfuels, cutting greenhouse gases to zero, and this is why the talks coming up in november and glasgow are so important. world leaders coming together to discuss climate change. scientists say we are past the point of promises and pledges, we need them to lay on the table exactly what it is every country needs to do to cut their emissions and these are going to be big changes that affect

6:12 pm
fans was "justice for the 96." this public pressure led to the hillsborough inquest, which ruled the fans were unlawfully killed. for those involved in the campaign forjustice, this is another sad milestone. they've done, you know, a lovelyjob of caring for him, looking after him for 32 years, and their carers as well have looked after andrew. they should be proud of themselves, but it's so, so sad that yet again we might have another victim on this memorial. the hillsborough memorial lists every one of the 96 who died. that number has now of course risen to 97. andrew devine's name may now be added to this tragic register, if that's what his family wishes. the 2016 inquest into the deaths at this fa cup semifinal ruled the fans were unlawfully killed. a coroner this week said andrew devine was also unlawfully

an olympic all—around final, finishing in tenth. thousands of women are made homeless every year across the uk. for many of them it's because of domestic abuse — fleeing violent partners, often with their children. but a new report says the strong link between women being abused and ending up homeless is often not talked about enough and far more needs to be done to protect them. it says they should be given more help, for example, to stay in their home while their abuser is moved away. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. he wouldn't leave. he'd locked me in the house. it was then that i had to pay him money for me to escape, basically. among many instances of abuse, liana fairfax was held hostage by a former partner. i went back later that evening. all my clothes had been cut up. they had been set on fire in the back garden.
6:19 pm
all my electricals had been put in the bath with water in. ijust remember feeling extremely scared, because ijust didn't know where he was. his behaviour led to leanna and her young children being left homeless on three separate occasions, but instead of understanding, she was often blamed. in my case, it was often portrayed as a failure to parent. and that would be then reflected, for example, in social services notes as "the children seemed untidy and unkempt." but that wasn't through a fault of my own. i was asking for support. i was in a vulnerable place. too often, says today's report, the strong link between homelessness and violence isn't appreciated, with survivors of abuse continually treated as a problem. every woman that approaches a homelessness service, it should be in the back of the service's mind that this woman could have experienced some form of violence. i don't think that straightaway they should be asked to recall the details of that,
6:20 pm
because that's something that should be done, you know, once there is a relationship there and once the woman feels safe. one recent survivor of domestic violence told me of a common problem. the abuser remains in the home. it would have been far. easier for him to leave, but he didn't want to. and i didn't see any way or means for me to get him out. _ the perpetrator�*s refusal to move left her with no option. i put my boys in the car, - i put my blankets in the car, and i drove as far as i could, because ijust wanted to bel somewhere where i felt we'd be safe. and how about safety planning? this yorkshire charity resettles women from all over the country, providing safe accommodation and ongoing support. 0h, right, so do you want to register for housing - in this area, then? such good practice should be spread further afield, after ministers in england announced new investment in helping
6:21 pm
domestic abuse survivors access women—only housing. liana fairfax has rebuilt her life. the 32—year—old is about to start a phd. her studies affording her a new perspective. i was a victim of domestic violence, and regardless of whatever i might have done or whatever had happened, i didn't deserve this. michael buchanan, bbc news. the rnli says it has been overwhelmed by a "huge level of support" following accusations its work is assisting migrants. the lifeboat charity received over £200,000 in donations in 24 hours after it posted rescue footage on social media. downing street has praised its "vital work". a national holocaust memorial is to be built next to the houses of parliament. the proposals — which include 23 large bronze sculptures — were previously rejected by westminster council, but the government has ruled
6:22 pm
in favour of its go—ahead. the board of deputies of britishjews said it was "delighted". the bbc has announced that jodie whittaker is going to leave doctor who in the autumn of next year. the actor was the first female doctor and has been playing the role since 2017. the bassist dusty hill — seen here on the left playing with his band 22 top — has died, aged 72. known for his bushy beard and ever—present sunglasses, dusty hill played as part of the trio for more than 50 years — releasing 19 albums, with hit singles like gimme all your lovin', sleeping bag, and viva las vegas. the number of people on furlough has fallen sharply to below two million, with younger people coming off the scheme twice as fast as any other age group. at the peak of the pandemic, nearly nine million people were on furlough — at the end ofjune it was down to 1.9. the scheme will be wound up by the end of september. and from next week firms
6:23 pm
are being asked to make a bigger contribution. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith reports. leah bailey has been able to spend a lot more time with little ava than she was expecting. after maternity leave, she had 11 months on furlough. then this april she took a call from her manager. she hit me with the news that i'm at risk of being made redundant. two or three weeks later i got the phone call. "i'm so sorry, leah, but you're being made redundant." she said, "i tried my hardest to try and find, juggle people's jobs around in the office to kind of find you stuff, but there is not enough work for the people in the office." and that's hard when you'd been on furlough for so long, hoping and expecting to go back into work. i burst out crying. it was really scary. i had a little girl to support and i had a roof over our heads to do and bills to pay. it was horrible.
6:24 pm
jo has been on the other end of those decisions throughout the pandemic. she runs this small promotions company in stockport and says decisions around furlough have been really hard. my team have been with me a long time. you know, most of them have worked for me for years, you know them very well, you know their family circumstances, you're trying to weigh up perhaps some of their financial circumstances. who can you keep in? who can you not? because the business has changed so dramatically this year, to stay on topjo says she's had to let one person go. we had a member of staff that had been with me a few years, but i really felt that it was an account management role and ijust felt that that wasn't what the business was going to need. from next week businesses are going to have to start paying more for every member of staff still not back at work, forcing many companies to start making those difficult choices. today's figures show fewer people on furlough than ever before,
6:25 pm
with the real boost coming as hospitality and retail opened up again. but for the 1.9 million people still on furlough, the risk of redundancy is increasing. leah has had an extra mountain to climb. maternity leave and then furlough meant nearly two years out of the workplace. after a couple of months searching, she's managed to find a newjob. yeah, it was just one of those things, you have to do it, don't you, especially when you've got children, you just have to get on with it, you have to do it, you have to be strong for them. colletta smith, bbc news, in rochdale. this was maidenhead, in berkshire in the very early hours of monday morning — the family and friends of the british swimmer tom dean as he was going for gold. these images went viral on social media — and showjust how much the olympics mean notjust to the athletes but to everyone around them.
6:26 pm
and tom did of course win not just one, but two gold medals at the games, becoming the first british male swimmer in 113 years to do so. he has been taking to our sports editor dan roan about his whirlwind past few days. tom dean, you've just won the olympic games 200 metres freestyle. congratulations on everything that has happened the last couple of days. how do you reflect on it now? it's been a whirlwind, and even now it's not really sinking in. i woke up this morning and i looked at these two gold medals and i thought, you know, they are actually mine, so it's amazing. did you surprise yourself? you can't go into it thinking you're not going to be able to do it, because then you have kind of written yourself off at that point already, so the 200, it was going to be tight. luckily i got my hand on that wall first. four hundredths separating us both, i think it's really fingertip stuff. cheering i must ask you about the video of your family back home, because it's gone viral, of course. cheering he laughs my mum's going crazy, oh, my god. who can you see there?
6:27 pm
i can see all my family, i can see my neighbour. all my brothers and sisters. i could watch this video so many times, honestly. see, i thought it would be, you know, one or two neighbours or something like that. and i look and it'sjust, it looked like half of maidenhead were there. it was amazing. cheering i always had a hunch that my mum would put on a big party. she loves putting on a big party, and i think that shows how much it means to people back home. i must ask you about covid quickly, because lots has been written about this recovery. how ill were you? i think i was the first athlete in any olympic sport within great britain to have a reinfection case. right. you know, i'm coughing and wheezing and i'm doing a sport that requires so heavily on your lungs and heart. i'm thinking, how am i going to be able to get back to the brutal training that it requires? but luckily no long lasting effects, and here i am hopefully with it behind me for good. this is wonderful. duncan scott, can you get the world record?
6:28 pm
it's gold to great britain. well done, guys. tom dean is a double olympic champion. i mean, how wonderful was it to have that as well and to get a second? like a dream come true. the four guys i shared the podium with were the four best guys i could possibly imagine. swimming's right up there, very, very competitive, so this is a major achievement by great britain. this is it for us, and if we can put on a good show here, i think it's going tojust bring up the sport within the country and get it into kind of the limelight a bit more, which is where it should be, and kind of bring it into the centre of people's focus, because team gb and british swimming are here to stay. tom dean speaking to dan roan. what a has had. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willets. i'm not sure you will like this one. i'm not sure you will like this one. i have a named storm. after all the heat and the thunderstorms now we have an amber warning from the met office because of this rapidly office because of this rapidly deepening area of low pressure,
6:29 pm
bearing down on the south—west and it is going to give quite a battering and the concern is we have lots of people on staycation, camping and caravans, these wind speeds more into autumn but they could bring down trees and damaged power lines, even bring them down, certainly bringing some disruptive conditions across the isles of scilly and gomel through the night but many parts of the south—west of england along with generally the south—west of the uk will have quite a windy night, a stormy night. some sunshine ahead. still if you thunderstorms across north as you can see here, they will certified white, but as well as the winds, thatis white, but as well as the winds, that is what the amber warning is poor because of the strength of the winds, we will get quite a soaking through the night. but is not limited to lows of us, that will affect many parts of england and wales. gales is gliding through the night stop starting to ease their way eastwards as well, all—around this storm system here. wet and windy, while the storms further north tend to ease overnight a bit
6:30 pm
of cloud holding the temperatures up but with all this going on in the south it is not going to be a cold night. it does mean a really unsettled day tomorrow. even though the winds don't look as process further east there are still some yellow warnings from the met office for some unseasonably windy weather, 50 mph gust of wind, they start to ease in the morning further south and west but lots of rain slow moving, showers, thunder and lightning, gusty winds. if you were across scotland and northern ireland but not exempt, a cool breeze blowing across northern scotland is a sign of things to come as we head into the weekend. temperature about 17-20, into the weekend. temperature about 17—20, down on today in the south with a lot more cloud and wind. in the evening and overnight the storm system will blow out into the north sea but look at what is heading our way, the northerly breeze. you look at the weekend but still some showers around. certainly not settled.
