good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: uk officials are in talks with the taliban, to try to get more british nationals safely out of afghanistan. president biden launches a robust defence of the us withdrawal, describing the evacuation efforts as an extraordinary success. we succeeded in what we set out to do in afghanistan over a decade ago, and we stayed for another decade. it was time to end this war. hundreds of thousands of people are to be offered a game—changing

who worked with allied forces. the talks are taking place in doha and come after the militant group pledged to allow departures to continue after the evacuation effort ended. it's thought up to 250 people eligible for relocation, plus theirfamilies, remain in the country. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. now uk and us forces have left and the taliban are clearly showing themselves to be in control, there is deep concern for british citizens and eligible afghans left behind. last night, downing street confirmed sir simon gass, the prime minister's special representative for afghan transition, had arrived in doha to meet senior taliban representatives. we are told he will underline the importance of safe passage out of afghanistan for british nationals and afghans who have worked with the uk. the taliban need things, they're are running a sophisticated country, they know they can't run this country without help.

if the taliban are going to run a government and hold on to power, as they want to do, they're going to have to engage as well. so we have some cards. the uk has evacuated more than 15,000 people since mid—august, 8,000 of those under the afghan relocations and assistance policy, set up to allow interpreters and others who have worked with the uk to come here. today, the government announced they will be able allowed to live in the uk permanently, instead of five years temporary residency offered before. so far 2,000 people have been placed in homes, but many more are yet to get permanent accommodation. there is a challenge, because these are larger families and councils and housing associations will need to find family—sized homes. we're working very closely with them, ensuring that this is a fully—funded package for them and we have announced an additional £5 million scheme to help them to find those larger properties as quickly as possible. the foreign office has

sent crisis response staff to neighbouring coutries to help afghans trying to reach the uk. talking to the taliban may also be necessary, but the government will be keen to do it without lending afghanistan's new rulers too much legitimacy. jonathan blake, bbc news. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, how important are these talks? yeah, although it's not clear how detailed these discussions are with the taliban because that statement we got from downing street last night revealing the talks were happening at all said the prime minister's special representative will be underlining the importance of the taliban allowing so—called safe passage for people to leave the country. so that's underlining the importance of providing safe passage, not necessarily going into the detailed logistics of how that safe passage will be provided.

although i think government ministers are still pinning their hopes that the airport in kabul, now under taliban control, could be reopened in the coming days, which would make thatjourney much, much more easy. in terms of what the uk is doing, the foreign office is sending some civil servants to neighbouring countries to afghanistan to help process people travelling to the land borders. yesterday, we spoke to dominic raab on this programme and talk to him about the uk government's record in afghanistan over the last few weeks. you will face even more questions today in front of a committee? yeah, and i think some _ today in front of a committee? yeah, and i think some of _ today in front of a committee? yeah, and i think some of the _ today in front of a committee? yeah, and i think some of the issues - today in front of a committee? yeah, and i think some of the issues he - and i think some of the issues he raised in that interview with you will be probed today. for example, the foreign secretary was saying the reason the uk was maybe a little flat—footed in its response are caught by surprise by the fall of kabul and the rapid advance of the

taliban is because the intelligence ministers were given did not predict that, which some people have interpreted as him pointing the finger at other departments or intelligence agencies, rather than taking responsibility himself. i think that is i knew i not questioning other mps will follow up thanks to your excellent line of questioning. then there was all the big stuff like what was the point of the mission in afghanistan in the first place? and all the practical stuff we have talked about the last few days, about getting people out, and the practical arrangements are in the foreign secretary himself and why he stayed on holiday for a couple of days longer than some people might have liked, as the crisis was unfolding. this committee of mp is chaired by a conservative mp quite critical of the government at the best of times but is a former serving military officer who was in

afghanistan and made that moving speech when parliament was recalled. president biden has defended his decision to withdraw us troops from afghanistan, calling the evaucation effort an extraordinary success. in his first speech since the end of the 20—year war in the country, mr biden insisted the united states had achieved everything it set out to do. but his approach has faced criticism, as our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. the spoils of war. american military hardware in the hands of the taliban. hangars full of us helicopters, decommissioned and dismantled so the enemy can't use them, but a potent symbol of america's defeat and the rise of the taliban. but was it a defeat, or a calculated withdrawal by a us president determined to draw a line under two decades of war? at the white house, joe biden praised the action of us troops in helping

to evacuate more than 120,000 people from kabul in recent weeks. the extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravery and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. for weeks, they risked their lives to get american citizens, afghans who helped us, citizens of our allies and partners and others on board planes and out of the country. but this was a president on the defensive, widely criticised for the way and apparent haste with which america withdrew from afghanistan, leaving some us citizens behind. mr biden insisted he was right to end the "forever war" and not to extend what he called the "forever exit". he laid the blame in part at donald trump for doing a deal with the taliban, but also with

afghan government forces. the assumption was that more than 300,000 afghan national security forces that we had trained over the past two decades and equipped would be a strong adversary in their civil wars with the taliban. that assumption that the afghan government would be able to hold on for a period of time beyond military draw down turned out not to be accurate. mr biden insisted america's only interest was making sure afghanistan is never used again to launch an attack like 9/11 on the united states, but he said he refused to send another generation of america's sons and daughters to fight a war. it was, he said, time to look to the future after 20 years of pain and sacrifice. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. an expensive but game—changing anti—cholesterol drug could soon be offered to hundreds of thousands of people in england

and wales on the nhs. it normally costs nearly £2,000 per dose, but the manufacturer has agreed an undisclosed discount for the health service. nhs england says the treatment could save about 30,000 lives within a decade. 0ur health reporter michelle roberts has more. heart attacks and stroke are among the most common causes of death and ill health in the uk and high cholesterol is up one of the main risk factors. too much bad fat in the blood can clog your arteries. while eating a healthy diet and getting enough exercise can help keep cholesterol down, some people need medication too. cheap tablets called statins work for many, but not all. people in england and wales could soon be offered a new type of treatment on the nhs. it is called inclisiran and it's a cholesterol—busting injection given twice a year. it can lower bad fat in the blood when other drugs like statins

have not done enough. there is a huge unmet need, high cholesterol levels and even in some cases there are people who are just very vulnerable to even modest levels of cholesterol and it's a silent killer. so being able to lower that and bring levels down close to the levels that we are actually born with conveniently and safely is a complete game—changer. nhs england says the treatment could save about 30,000 lives within a decade. the health watchdog nice is recommending it as an option for people who have already had a stroke or heart attack and are not responding to other cholesterol—lowering treatments. nice says a ground—breaking deal has been met with the manufacturer to make it affordable for the nhs. its use is already approved in scotland. michelle roberts, bbc news. the mayor of new orleans has imposed a night time curfew in the city to try to stem crime in the wake of the devastation caused by hurricane ida. many residents still don't have electricity, and energy companies have warned it could take weeks

to restore power in some areas. the storm has killed at least two people and officials say the death toll is likely to rise. it's just four weeks until the uk premier of daniel craig's fifth and final outing as james bond in no time to die, which has been repeatedly delayed by the pandemic. the final trailer has just been released and it shows all the high—octane action that bond fans have come to expect. mark lobel reports. come on, bond, where the hell are you? indeed — the world's been waiting quite a while. barring another screeching u—turn, we are weeks away from witnessing bond's return out of retirement and into the arms of an old foe.

now your enemy's my enemy. how did that happen? well, you live long enough. after a year in which the pandemic sent the box office into a tail spin with billions of dollars lost and after that top gun tom cruise's well publicised summer trip to see tenet proved somewhat of a false start, could no time to die be the blockbuster that really brings us back to the big screen? the release may also help bolster the box office in its battle with the home sofa. even though amazon's takeover of mgm, the hollywood studio behind bond, has led some to speculate future releases like this may be fast—tracked to the small screen. that's a sore point for actors who profit from box office bonuses,

including black widow actress scarlettjohansson, who's currently in a battle with the walt disney company — unhappy they premiered her film on its streaming service at the same time as in cinemas. well, i understand double—os have a very short life expectancy. but every actor who has played bond so far has made it safely on to the big screen. all eight of them, in fact — sean connery, roger moore, timothy dalton and pierce brosnan and in the �*60s, george lazenby and david niven, not to forget the first bond in the �*50s, barry nelson, he was in casino royale. so who is odds on to take overfrom daniel craig? is it that bloke from bridgerton, marvel�*s kung fu master, or the man who played superman? but this bond has to survive a number of plot twists first. james. you don't know what this is.

if he does finally find his way to the big screen, we will all find out. the name's lobel, mark lobel, bbc news. you're fully invested aren't you. every time there has been a sighting of the premiere of the film i have been excited.— of the premiere of the film i have been excited. . , ., ., , , ., been excited. have you always been a bond fan? yes — been excited. have you always been a bond fan? yes for _ been excited. have you always been a bond fan? yes for many _ been excited. have you always been a bond fan? yes for many years. - bond fan? yes for many years. lookin: bond fan? yes for many years. looking forward _ bond fan? yes for many years. looking forward to _ bond fan? yes for many years. looking forward to that. - bond fan? yes for many years. | looking forward to that. fingers crossed it will happen. the? looking forward to that. fingers crossed it will happen. they can't dela it crossed it will happen. they can't delay it nova _ now you may have seen the signs on the forecourt or at the pump already, from today a new, more eco—friendly fuel becomes the standard unleaded petrol. there's a warning however, that more than half a million vehicles are not compatible with it. nina's at a petrol station in stockport for us this morning. another reason to watch nina. good mornin: , another reason to watch nina. good morning. this _ another reason to watch nina. good morning. this is _ another reason to watch nina. good morning, this is just _ another reason to watch nina. good morning, this is just as _ another reason to watch nina. good morning, this isjust as big a moment as bond. some people are

already filling up this morning as you can can see. if you fill up with petrol, if that is your fuel you will note some changes from today. it will shift from this e5 to e10, part of the government's drive for the uk to obtain carbon neutrality. we are moving to electric, but this is about making fuel more environmentally friendly. as things stand, the standard unleaded petrol is 95% petrol and 5% ethanol. that is 95% petrol and 5% ethanol. that is a form of alcohol made from plants and natural waste. so it is much more environmentally friendly and as of today that e10 means they double the percentage of ethanol in the petrol. that brings us into line

with countries like germany and france. that 5% increase in ethanol may not sound like a lot, but it is like taking 350,000 cars off the road. so it is significant. it will be fine for most cars, most new cars, but for older cars, those build largely before 2010, that is the period from which you will need to check they may not be compatible and more than 600,000 cars that fit into that category. you and more than 600,000 cars that fit into that category.— into that category. you need to consult with _ into that category. you need to consult with the _ into that category. you need to consult with the government i into that category. you need to - consult with the government web-site consult with the government web—site to find out if your car is compatible, if you put this fuel into an incompatible car of which there are around 650 thousand on the roads, is quite damaging. it can erode seals, it can erode metals and cause a lot of damage. so you want

to be certain and if you own one of these cars, you just need to go to a larger fuel retailer and you will have to pay more for a fuel, but there are ways around this. you will have to pay — there are ways around this. you will have to pay more. _ there are ways around this. you will have to pay more. it _ there are ways around this. you will have to pay more. it is _ there are ways around this. you will have to pay more. it is estimated i there are ways around this. you will have to pay more. it is estimated it| have to pay more. it is estimated it will cost about 12 pence more a litre and just a warning it won't be available every where. you will have to source a local supplier. what are the implications for motorists. let's talk to tony from aa. good morning. which cars, because some people will be feeling panicky. cars roduced people will be feeling panicky.

have opened talks with the taliban about securing safe passage for anyone who wants to leave. the telegraph carries this picture of a taliban fighter at the controls of an abandoned afghan army aircraft. the paper also reports that president biden has declared an end to the era of america remaking other nations after the us withdrawal from afghanistan. the daily mirror leads with a new miracle jab, which it says could save thousands of lives by preventing heart attacks and strokes. the cholesterol—reducing drug will be given to 300,000 high—risk patients, the paper reports. "geroni—n0!" is the headline on the sun, which reports that the 26—day stand—off over geronimo the alpaca has ended in misery, with the animal killed by government officials after testing positive for bovine tuberculosis. those are some of the stories on the front—pages today. a company which makes test tubes for the nhs says it will increase imports of the vials to try to end

a serious shortage. the health service in england and wales has temporarily stopped all non—urgent blood tests because of the issue. let's speak to our regular gp, dr nighat arif. morning to you, lovely to see you as ever. tell us, have you noticed this problem, is it affecting you? yeah about two weeks _ problem, is it affecting you? yeah about two weeks ago _ problem, is it affecting you? yeah about two weeks ago i _ problem, is it affecting you? yeah about two weeks ago i put - problem, is it affecting you? 1j::i about two weeks ago i put out problem, is it affecting you? ij::i about two weeks ago i put out a tweet saying, is there a national shortage of blood bottles, because we had patients being turned away. i thought it was just happening in our practice. but then one patient needed a blood test, because she is on blood—thinning medication and we couldn't get her medication sorted for her and that, well upset her, upset me and we needed to get to the bottom of it our practice manager said it is the whole uk. we do blood tests for so many things, we try and

correct medication. and my son who needs a liver transplant is on medication and we need to check that constantly. i have had to make sure, we have to wait for his blood tests. we are told the shortage will be to 17th september. we were told as doctors two weeks ago. but we then discovered it is sincejuly there was an alert put out that there would be a lack of equipment and blood bottles. we have been told to only do bloods that are completely necessary. but as a clinician, i would never do bloods unnecessarily. it doesn't make sense to me. i would only request bloods if they're important. it tells me there and then which direction i need to go with my patients, it may rule in a diagnosis or rule one out. so this is a vital part of our clinical care and we are not able to do that,

because we have been told to reduce the amount we have to do or have juniors consult with seniors to say is this a blood test that is necessary. these are further delays in the system and it is causing anger and frustration. we have had shortages before, the shortages we have had are intervention radiologists say they don't have the equipment to do procedures, i have had hrt shortages and patients i have wanted to prescribe patches for, the pharmacists don't have it in stock and i'm looking for other forms of replacements that i can do. this is not good enough. this is, well... this is unheard of. i'm rationing medication and treatments, it is crazy i would say. we rationing medication and treatments, it is crazy i would say.— it is crazy i would say. i've got a statement _ it is crazy i would say. i've got a statement from _ it is crazy i would say. i've got a statement from the _ it is crazy i would say. i've got a j statement from the department it is crazy i would say. i've got a i statement from the department of health, i will give that in a second, i want to ask you about this

up. for england and wales there is a lot of cloud and this is where we may see drizzle. but there will be some breaks int may see drizzle. but there will be some breaks in t south and some breaks in south—west wales in the afternoon and these are our average wind speeds. so along the north sea coastline and east anglia it will be breezy. it is still a chilly breeze that you will notice. along the north sea coast, temperatures are lower and add on the breeze and it will feel nippy. temperatures widely up will feel nippy. temperatures widely up to about 18 to 20 degrees. but in the sunshine in scotland we could hit 22. that will feel pleasant. through the evening we still hang on to cloud. some clear skies and some driz it will coming out of the —— drizzle coming out of cloud in the south. in scotland, in the glens, temperatures could fall to five degrees. so that is a bit on the nippy side as well. you can see for

most it is going to stay in double figures. so as we head on into thursday, high pressure still in charge, this high pressure has been with us for nearly two weeks. the cloud still coming from the north sea. notjust on thursday, but also into friday. there will be sunshine. the best of which is in scotland and in some western areas we will see sunshine and it will be breezy through the channel. as we led into the weekend, this is the area of low pressure that is giving us a headache. this is the one that looked like it was going to come in later on saturday into sunday, but it may hold back, that will have an impact on the weather. 0n it may hold back, that will have an impact on the weather. on saturday we still are chasing some cloud, but there should be a few more holes in it and the breeze should be lighter with temperatures into the 20s.

hello. this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. i need to correct myself. we have a statement saying test tubes should be available soon. there should be stock to ensure testing continues. they say patient safety is of top concern. coming up on breakfast this morning: scotland's seen a rise in covid cases linked to the recent return of schools. we'll look at what teachers are doing to protect pupils across the uk, as they go back to the classroom. we'll bring you the story of one man's emotionaljourney across britain by paramotor to raise money for alzheimer's research in memory of his grandparents.

and ian wright will be on the sofa to tell us about his new children's book, inspired by his own story of becoming a professional footballer. there was a story in the papers you didn't get a chance to mention. this was a ten—year—old girl, a weightlifter. she beat adults to the top prize at a national strong women contents by lifting three times her own weight. she used to watch her dad doing lifting. he is 40. he built a lego barbell. she trains twice a day. she came first by

there's one of the a29s, there is an nb530 over here. we are approaching a big taliban parade at the moment and theree's a lot of hardware, a lot of hardware. incredible footage. let's speak to nabih. he's in kabul this morning. we have seen those pictures of you going into that aircraft hangar and looking around some of the bits and pieces left behind by american soldiers. i pieces left behind by american soldiers. 1 , pieces left behind by american soldiers. . , 1 pieces left behind by american soldiers. . , ., 1 pieces left behind by american soldiers. . , ., ., soldiers. i had been at that base onl a soldiers. i had been at that base only a few _ soldiers. i had been at that base only a few months _ soldiers. i had been at that base only a few months ago - soldiers. i had been at that base only a few months ago when - soldiers. i had been at that base only a few months ago when it l soldiers. i had been at that base i only a few months ago when it was still in the hands of the afghan national forces and i still in the hands of the afghan nationalforces and i had still in the hands of the afghan national forces and i had flown with them on a few missions. just to be back there and seeing these planes in various states of disrepair,

seeing the taliban carrying american weapons and driving around the vehicles left behind, seeing them pose for the cameras in the cockpit of a helicopter. it was surreal. the whole situation was just surreal. it really was. such a contrast from what it was before. of course, there was also a contrast or not they are, in the sense you have these soldiers wearing american supplied uniforms with american supplied weapons. in one sense, the taliban have become the army the americans tried to build in afghanistan, with a sense of irony. build in afghanistan, with a sense of iron . ~ 1 1 , build in afghanistan, with a sense of iron . ~ . ., , ,, of irony. what are things like in kabul today? — of irony. what are things like in kabul today? is _ of irony. what are things like in kabul today? is there _ of irony. what are things like in kabul today? is there a - of irony. what are things like in kabul today? is there a sense l of irony. what are things like in i kabul today? is there a sense that there might be some sort of normality? we are still queueing reports of queues for food and

have been epic. people were dying all the time. tens of thousands of afghans were dying every year. whether that was due to air strikes or fighting with the taliban, the key point is that people just want peace of some sort, some stability. this is a simple matter of being able to send your kids to school and back and not having them die, and that's really the main issue. do you feel safe at — that's really the main issue. do you feel safe at the _ that's really the main issue. do you feel safe at the moment _ that's really the main issue. do you feel safe at the moment in - that's really the main issue. do you feel safe at the moment in kabul? l feel safe at the moment in kabul? 0bviously feel safe at the moment in kabul? obviously there are people desperate to leave and we hear every day from people concerned of their future what the next few weeks and months will look like, but how does it feel to you on the ground? i will look like, but how does it feel to you on the ground?— will look like, but how does it feel to you on the ground? i hate using the word privilege, _ to you on the ground? i hate using the word privilege, but _ to you on the ground? i hate using the word privilege, but i _ to you on the ground? i hate using the word privilege, but i should . to you on the ground? i hate using | the word privilege, but i should say it. i am a foreign journalist and the word privilege, but i should say it. i am a foreignjournalist and i have the power of the los angeles times behind me. my dangers are different to those facing local journalists or civilians. those

things are just different. for me, as a man who has these things behind me, ifeel quite safe. but an as a man who has these things behind me, i feel quite safe. but an afghan woman, for example, i think is now terrified about what will come. journalists face a greater danger of something happening to them. but for me, ifeel 0k. something happening to them. but for me, ifeel ok. you something happening to them. but for me, i feel 0k.— me, i feel ok. you mentioned the status quo- _ me, i feel ok. you mentioned the status quo- do — me, i feel ok. you mentioned the status quo. do you _ me, i feel ok. you mentioned the status quo. do you feel— me, i feel ok. you mentioned the status quo. do you feel if- me, i feel ok. you mentioned the status quo. do you feel if the - status quo. do you feel if the taliban are able to provide that status quo, provide the stability, they might be able to win support from some of those ordinary afghans? i think if they can provide stability, they will win a lot of support. notjust some. that's been the things they have been saying for the things they have been saying for the past two weeks, they are here to provide stability and security because without that the country cannot survive or thrive without the

aid it needs. the country is highly dependent on aid. three quarters of the government's budget depends on aid from abroad. it's a lot of money and they won't get unless they can work some deal out with other parties and get some stability in the country. parties and get some stability in the country-— parties and get some stability in the count . ., , ~ .. , the country. lastly, when americans have seen those _ the country. lastly, when americans have seen those pictures _ the country. lastly, when americans have seen those pictures of - the country. lastly, when americans have seen those pictures of the - have seen those pictures of the taliban looking around the aircraft, they say none of them are usable by they say none of them are usable by the taliban. is they say none of them are usable by the talihan-— the taliban. is that right? i am no military exoert. — the taliban. is that right? i am no military exoert. by _ the taliban. is that right? i am no military expert, by spoken - the taliban. is that right? i am no military expert, by spoken to - the taliban. is that right? i am no i military expert, by spoken to enough people who are and these planes are modern planes and they require boxes and components. you actually have to have machines to crack the engine,

quarterfinals, semifinals and the final which she won. she used to play an able—bodied archery. she didn't acquire a disability until after surgery. she only got involved in wheelchair archery in 2017 and says she is looking forward to progressing through the paralympic stages and hopefully getting better than a bronze in rio. she says she is looking forward to a bit of chocolate cake when she gets home! weren't we all... the other bronze medal was in the table tennis. the team match. 0verall they were very happy with the success of the bronze medal. we did see a bronze medal this in the tee. that is for athletes who have more severe disabilities and it's a bit like a game of bowls. scott mccarron lost that match. but he will be going tomorrow in the team johanna konta, along with his brother, jamie.

it looks wet and gloomy tomorrow. she could go for gold later on today. let me tell you a bit about becky redfern. she went to the world championships in 2019 and broke the world record and got a gold medal. last year in 2020 she had a baby. if the games had been last year, she wouldn't have been able to compete but the fact they are a whole year later, she made the team and now she is going into that final tonight. if she can turn it around, in less than a yearof she can turn it around, in less than a year of having a baby, she is doing a phenomenal effort. hoping to get gold tonight in the swimming pool for great britain. also hoping

for a phenomenal effort. hoping to get gold tonight in the swimming pool for great britain. also hoping for gold today is david smith in the boccia. he will play later on today in the team match.— in the team match. brilliant stuff. i will have the _ in the team match. brilliant stuff. i will have the latest _ in the team match. brilliant stuff. i will have the latest on _ in the team match. brilliant stuff. i will have the latest on transfer. i will have the latest on transfer deadline day in an hour. the windows shut yesterday. someone in my ear told me that i was to finish! emma raducanu's fairytale year continues as she booked her place in the second round of the us open with a straight sets victory over switzerland's stefanie vogele. this was raducanu's debut at flushing meadows and she showed her talent and maturity throughout, just as she did at wimbledon earlier in the summer. the 18—year—old won 6—2, 6—3 against her experienced opponent and will face china's zhang shuai in the next round. but katie boulter is out. she was beaten in straight sets 6—3,

6—2 by russia's ludmilla samsonova. it was was also her first appearance in the main draw of a us open after making it through qualifying. novak djokovic's bid to win all four grand slams in a calendar year continues. but it wasn't completely plain sailing for the world number one, he lost the second set tie breaker against danish teenager holger rune before comfortably winning the next two sets to advance to the second round. djokovic is looking to become the first man to hold all four major titles since rod laver in 1969. and that is clearly now the end of the sport! ijust and that is clearly now the end of the sport! i just wanted and that is clearly now the end of the sport! ijust wanted to get my cup of tea before it got cold! i will have more on the football transfer deadline which shot overnight. apparently £1.1 billion has been spent. seems like a lot of money. thank you! it's back—to—school time

for children in england, wales and northern ireland this week — a fortnight after their scottish counterparts returned to the classroom. but with a rise in covid cases in scotland being linked to students going back, tim muffett�*s been finding out what measures schools are taking to protect their pupils. an unconventional start to an academic year. skinners school in tunbridge wells, where like hundreds of thousands of others, students are taking lateral—flow tests before lessons begin. i'm really excited, because it's been for a while like masks and not being able to hang out with other classes. not having to wear masks between class and stuff is a big step in the right direction i think. we have had like games cancelled and things like that, so it's hard, i but now that we are back - and we are tested it is easier to enjoy those things again. the education system has faced enormous disruption because of covid. whole year groups have been sent home after one positive case, but this term it's only the pupil who tests positive who definitely needs to self—isolate. those specifically identified

as close contacts will be asked to take a test. if its negative, self—isolation won't be necessary. i'm sure there will be a problem at some stage when the flu season hits and covid is still around and i do expect at some stage we will have to make contingency arrangements, but i'm hopeful we can get through the whole year with a nearly full curriculum, everyone doing everything and it feel like a normal school. in england, wales and northern ireland, strict rules over facemasks and social distancing have been relaxed. schools have much more power to decide which rules to keep. in scotland, where schools re—opened in mid—august, most rules are staying in place for at least six weeks. i don't really mind, i mean i would rather social distance and wear a mask than having to sit in the house. i'm going to find it kind of tricky, but i might get used _ to it after a few days. you've to wear a mask every day and i'm not too bothered about it, because it keeps people safe.

we'll be sanitising on entry and exit to the building and classrooms there will be hand cleaning. 0n the positive there will be changes to the bubbles which will allow pupils to mix more freely. so different abroaches in different parts of the uk. around 300,000 carbon dioxide monitors are to be made available to schools in england to try and improve ventilation. a build up of c02 could mean that fresh air is failing to circulate and action is needed. but some unions are critical of the way the return to school in england is being handled. i do not understand why really sensible safety precautions however were stopped. covid hasn't gone away. the virus is more, much more infectious in the community now than it was at this time last year. covid has upended the way schools operate. staff, students and parents can only hope that this term brings normality back to the classroom. tim muffett, bbc news.

we're joined now by larry flanagan. he's general secretary of the educational institute of scotland. that is what so many people are hoping for is normality, from parents point of view, from children's point of view and teachers, is that what they're going to get, do you think?— to get, do you think? well, i think to get, do you think? well, i think to some extent _ to get, do you think? well, i think to some extent that _ to get, do you think? well, i think to some extent that will _ to get, do you think? well, i think to some extent that will depend i to get, do you think? well, i think| to some extent that will depend on the path of the pandemic. everyone would hope for normality, but we are not there at the moment. despite the fact that we have re—opened in scotland with some mitigations still in place, such as secondary pupils wearing masks, we have seen a record number of cases in our schools. last week, the figure doubled from the previous week and we now have the highest ever level of pupil infections since the pandemic started. so the point that covid hasn't gone away is accurate and

that has been our experience in scotland with the schools re—opening. scotland with the schools re-opening-_ scotland with the schools re-opening. scotland with the schools re-oenina. ., , ., ., re-opening. what should be done, do ou think re-opening. what should be done, do you think given _ re-opening. what should be done, do you think given the _ re-opening. what should be done, do you think given the numbers - re-opening. what should be done, do you think given the numbers are - you think given the numbers are quite stark, aren't they? thea;r you think given the numbers are quite stark, aren't they? they are and in part _ quite stark, aren't they? they are and in part they — quite stark, aren't they? they are and in part they reflect _ quite stark, aren't they? they are and in part they reflect the - quite stark, aren't they? they are and in part they reflect the high i and in part they reflect the high level of community infection, so thatis level of community infection, so that is a context for looking at schools, but there is also in school transmission. there are three key areas. we are supportive of the scottish government's position that 12 to 15—year—olds should be vaccinated and we should they will give the green light for that. the reference your piece made to ventilation is critical. more needs to be done to make sure schools are prepared for the ventilation challenge, keeping the airflow moving in schools and in scotland one of changes that has happened is around test and protect. so

previously, if pupils were identified as a close contact, they would have to self—isolate for ten days. we are in favour of removing that requirement, because we don't want pupils missing school, but we had expect id expected it to be replaced by the need for close contacts to be tested. instead what has happened is only what are deemed relevant close contacts, so high risk close contacts, have been asked to take a test. and in practice that means very few pupils, even if they have been sitting next to someone all day who has tested positive will be required to test. that is fuelling in school transmission. that is one area that we think the scottish government need to tighten up, because testing is key to keeping control of the spread of virus within schools. you keeping control of the spread of

virus within schools.— virus within schools. you are talkin: virus within schools. you are talking to — virus within schools. you are talking to the _ virus within schools. you are talking to the government i virus within schools. you are - talking to the government about getting testing extended like you're advising? yes getting testing extended like you're advisin: ? , ., ., getting testing extended like you're advisinu? , ., ., ., advising? yes we have a covid education _ advising? yes we have a covid education recovery _ advising? yes we have a covid education recovery group, - advising? yes we have a covid education recovery group, we| advising? yes we have a covid i education recovery group, we are having discussions within that group. it is being reviewed by the scottish government and we hope there will be progress in relation to that. because we all want to see the schools be as close to normal as possible. but we still have a challenge around the high levels of community infebs fection that exist. schools re—opened when societal mitigations were being relaxed. so it is a toxic combination of the increased activity around schools with the relaxation of some of the societal regulations. at the moment, we have the numbers in schools rising, which is a real challenge for us. 1 ,

good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today... uk officials are in talks with the taliban, to try to get more british nationals safely out of afghanistan. president biden launches a robust defence of the us withdrawal, describing the evacuation efforts as an "extraordinary success". we succeeded in what we set out to do in afghanistan over a decade ago, and we stayed for another decade. it was time to end this war. hundreds of thousands of people are to be offered a game—changing anti—cholestrol drug, on the nhs in england and wales. a dramatic transfer window shuts, as cristiano ronaldo confirms his return to manchester united. it's wednesday 01 september.

the uk is in talks with the taliban to secure a way out of afghanistan for british nationals and afghans who worked with allied forces. the talks are taking place in doha and come after the militant group pledged to allow departures to continue after the evacuation effort ended. it's thought up to 250 people eligible for relocation — plus their families — remain in the country. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake reports. now uk and us forces have left and the taliban are clearly showing themselves to be in control, there is deep concern for british citizens and eligible afghans left behind. last night, downing street confirmed sir simon gass, the prime minister's special representative for afghan transition, had arrived in doha to meet senior taliban representatives. we are told he will underline the importance of safe passage out of afghanistan for british nationals and afghans who have worked with the uk.

the taliban need things, they're running a sophisticated country, they know they can't run this country without help. if the taliban are going to run a government and hold on to power, as they want to do, they're going to have to engage as well. so we have some cards. the uk has evacuated more than 15,000 people since mid—august, 8,000 of those under the afghan relocations and assistance policy, set up to allow interpreters and others who have worked with the uk to come here. today, the government announced they will be able allowed to live in the uk permanently, instead of five years temporary residency offered before. so far 2,000 people have been placed in homes, but many more are yet to get permanent accommodation. there is a challenge, because these are larger families and councils and housing associations will need to find family—sized homes. we're working very closely with them, ensuring that this is a fully—funded package for them

and we have announced an additional £5 million scheme to help them to find those larger properties as quickly as possible. the foreign office has sent crisis response staff to neighbouring coutries to help afghans trying to reach the uk. talking to the taliban may also be necessary, but the government will be keen to do it without lending afghanistan's new rulers too much legitimacy. jonathan blake, bbc news. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, how important are these talks? how significant, we're not sure yet, because we have a very sketchy outline from the government about what's actually happening. it's all quite hush—hush. but it's an interesting test for the taliban and its been set as a test by the international community because the taliban have said it will offer so—called safe passage to those

entitled to leave afghanistan and settle in another country. so are they going to be true to their word? we will find it fairly soon. but it's also test for the uk government as well because they want to get something out of the taliban but also they don't want to be giving the tell of an too much legitimacy as the new government yet because they don't want to be too friendly with them. so it's a test for the taliban and a test for the uk foreign policy as well, but quite a delicate situation. absolutely. dominic raab _ delicate situation. absolutely. dominic raab is _ delicate situation. absolutely. dominic raab is due _ delicate situation. absolutely. dominic raab is due to - delicate situation. absolutely. dominic raab is due to face i dominic raab is due to face questioning in the uk's evacuation from afghanistan today?— from afghanistan today? yeah, a whole load _ from afghanistan today? yeah, a whole load of _ from afghanistan today? yeah, a whole load of questions. - from afghanistan today? yeah, a whole load of questions. quite i from afghanistan today? yeah, a whole load of questions. quite a| whole load of questions. quite a spicy encounter, i think, because the foreign affairs select committee is chaired by tom tugendhat, a conservative mp who is critical of the government at times. he made a moving speech when parliament was

recalled to discuss the crisis in afghanistan, as a former soldier. as a moment of political theatre, i think will be quite dramatic. there are many questions for dominic raab. under lisa nandy, labour have put out ten areas of questioning for him. why did the government not foresee the rapid advancement of the taliban and the collapse of the government in kabul? why did dominic raab go on holiday and stay on holiday? who exactly did you call amongst his foreign counterparts in the region as the crisis was building? how could you have a situation where some afghan staff would work for the british army's details were left in the british embassy staff are leaving? and also what is going to happen next? a whole load of questions for the foreign secretary to be asked. we will speak to lisa nandy on the

programme shortly.— will speak to lisa nandy on the programme shortly. will speak to lisa nandy on the rouramme shortl . j 1 1 «i [1 president biden has defended his decision to withdraw us troops from afghanistan, calling the evaucation effort an extraordinary success. in his first speech since the end of the 20—year war in the country, mr biden insisted the united states had achieved everything it set out to do. but his approach has faced criticism, as our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. the spoils of war. american military hardware in the hands of the taliban. hangars full of us helicopters, decommissioned and dismantled so the enemy can't use them, but a potent symbol of america's defeat and the rise of the taliban. but was it a defeat, or a calculated withdrawal by a us president determined to draw a line under two decades of war? at the white house, joe biden praised the action of us troops in helping to evacuate more than 120,000 people from kabul in recent weeks. the extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravery and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomats

and intelligence professionals. for weeks, they risked their lives to get american citizens, afghans who helped us, citizens of our allies and partners and others on board planes and out of the country. but this was a president on the defensive, widely criticised for the way and apparent haste with which america withdrew from afghanistan, leaving some us citizens behind. mr biden insisted he was right to end the "forever war" and not to extend what he called the "forever exit". he laid the blame in part at donald trump for doing a deal with the taliban, but also with afghan government forces. the assumption was that more than 300,000 afghan national security forces that we had trained over the past two decades and equipped would be a strong adversary in their civil wars with the taliban. that assumption that the afghan government would be able to hold

on for a period of time beyond military draw down turned out not to be accurate. mr biden insisted america's only interest was making sure afghanistan is never used again to launch an attack like 9/11 on the united states, but he said he refused to send another generation of america's sons and daughters to fight a war. it was, he said, time to look to the future after 20 years of pain and sacrifice. to the future after 20 years peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. to the future after 20 years a taxi driverfrom liverpool, who was amongst those left behind in afghanistan when british troops pulled—out, has told bbc news that he and his family are now in hiding. the man, who we're calling ahmed to protect his identity, is a british citizen and travelled to kabul two weeks ago to try and get his family out. juliet phillips reports. since the last british flight left kabul airport, ahmed has been stranded in afghanistan.

it is that scary around here, we can't trust nobody here. we've changed his name and are not showing his face to protect him. he is a british passport holder trying to get his afghan family to safety in the uk. they had planned to fly out of the airport last week, but when they arrived, the terror attack happened. it was very scary. i'd been told to go when i got an e—mailfrom the home office. i was just a few yards away. it was full of blood, full of bodies, and we weren't very close there, so we survived. it was so dangerous. ahmed and his family found a place to lie low in the aftermath, but were frightened to go more than a few steps outside. we can't get out of the house, we basically can only go maybe 20, 30 yards into a shop, the local shop. we are in trouble, we need to go.

back home, ahmed is a keen cricketer who has lived in liverpool for the past 15 years. his friends and team—mates are extremely worried for his safety. as a uk passport holder and he has been here for many years, he is obviously westernised and i think that really does stick out, more so than anything else in afghanistan. i think that he is obviously a target. andrew is in regular contact with ahmed and is lobbying the government to speed up their plans to help uk citizens and afghans escape. we are just worried day—to—day and then we are happy every day that he sends us a message to say that he is safe and that kind of reassures us, but also i think we are giving him that reassurance that we are trying to do everything we can from our aspect as well. the foreign secretary has said the number of uk nationals still in afghanistan is now in the low hundreds and they are committed to getting those who have been left behind out of the country. for ahmed and his family,

that can't come soon enough. we have only hopes that the government can do something to get us out. we belong in the uk. we need to go, we can't stay here. ahmed and his family are now trying to find another route out of the country. juliet phillips, bbc news. the government is now in talks with the taliban to help bring people who remain in afghanistan back to the uk. let's discuss the latest developments with the shadow foreign secretary, lisa nandy. nice promotion. shadow for now! we understand the _ nice promotion. shadow for now! we understand the talks _ nice promotion. shadow for now! we understand the talks are _ nice promotion. shadow for now! we understand the talks are taking i understand the talks are taking place in doha. is it right in principle to be talking to the taliban? ~ 111 1 1 principle to be talking to the taliban? ~ 1 11 1 1 1 taliban? absolutely, and we have been encouraging _ taliban? absolutely, and we have been encouraging the _ taliban? absolutely, and we have| been encouraging the government taliban? absolutely, and we have i been encouraging the government to do this for some time. there is a big difference between diplomatic recognition of the taliban and a

regime which came to power through force, and dialogue. because of the series of mistakes that led us to this point, we are now reliant on the taliban for permission to move people out of the country. that includes afghans who helped us but it also includes british nationals, so that dialogue is essential and ought to be taking place. in so that dialogue is essential and ought to be taking place.- ought to be taking place. in that situation, what _ ought to be taking place. in that situation, what would _ ought to be taking place. in that situation, what would you i ought to be taking place. in that situation, what would you be i ought to be taking place. in that i situation, what would you be asking the taliban to guarantee? the urgent riori is the taliban to guarantee? the urgent priority is to — the taliban to guarantee? the urgent priority is to get _ the taliban to guarantee? the urgent priority is to get thousands _ the taliban to guarantee? the urgent priority is to get thousands of - priority is to get thousands of people who either assisted us or our british nationals and are stranded there out of the country. and that means in reality, despite some efforts to get the airport up and running, we need safe passage to land borders where people can pass through and have their applications processed on the other side. and that means we need some guarantees about the taliban, people can move freely and they won't be harassed,

beaten, shot at, all things that happened over the last few weeks when people have tried to move. anyone eligible under a uk scheme ought to be able to move through the country, and that's the guarantee the government ought to be asking for, as a priority. 1 the government ought to be asking for. as a priority-— for, as a priority. i suppose that's the eril for, as a priority. i suppose that's the peril of— for, as a priority. i suppose that's the peril of international - the peril of international diplomacy because in order to have those negotiations with the taliban they will want to be recognised as a legitimate government. how do you balance that? this legitimate government. how do you balance that?— balance that? this is one of the reasons why — balance that? this is one of the reasons why we _ balance that? this is one of the reasons why we have _ balance that? this is one of the reasons why we have said i balance that? this is one of the reasons why we have said on i balance that? this is one of the l reasons why we have said on the wider issues around how you deal with the taliban, countries have to move together in step. there has to be a united international response because this is going to be a condition spaced relationship from now on. the taliban want recognition and access to international finance. they have many assets in western bank accounts which are frozen. we

need to ensure there are not too many concessions treated. it is appalling we are in the situation because you saw it earlier this week. the government was able to work with other countries to get a un security council resolution, but that means we have to do deals with countries like china and russia, countries like china and russia, countries we have tried to take a much tougher approach to in the past, and that's the reality of where the foreign secretary has left us, in a position where we are reliant on permission from the taliban and doing deals with china and russia, just to safeguard essential british interests. share and russia, just to safeguard essential british interests. are you still . ettin . essential british interests. are you still getting messages _ essential british interests. are you still getting messages from - essential british interests. are you still getting messages from those | still getting messages from those in afghanistan trying to get out and what sort of things are people saying? if what sort of things are people sa in: ? 11 , saying? if anything, the situation has become _ saying? if anything, the situation has become even _ saying? if anything, the situation has become even more _ saying? if anything, the situation | has become even more desperate saying? if anything, the situation i has become even more desperate for those people left behind since the air bridge closed. my office is still fielding thousands of cases, alongside labour mps, still fielding thousands of cases, alongside labour mp5, of people still trapped in afghanistan. british nationals, children separated from parents who are

stranded, wheelchair users or those on dialysis who obviously can't travel to a border, as the defence secretary was suggesting. we have high—profile public figures, particularly women, moving from safe house to safe house, being hunted by the taliban. they are running out of places to go because many people in afghanistan are trying to provide them with shelter, but they are absolutely terrified about reprisals from the taliban if the shelter people who have helped britain as well. yesterday, when i spoke to the defence secretary, many mps were saying to him there is a real urgency around this. where is the foreign secretary? why haven't the board has been opened? why hasn't the diplomatic work being done? those are the answers we need you here this afternoon at the select committee. we put to dominic raab the criticisms you mentioned, the thing he kept _ criticisms you mentioned, the thing he kept coming back to was 15,000 plus people have been got out of afghanistan, he said that is a

the next couple of days for much of the uk. there will be some occasional drizzle and some light rain in eastern and south eastern parts at times. but equally there will be some sunshine. the best of which will be in scotland. so you can see too the amount of cloud we have got already today, some drizzle coming out of that. still breezy down the north sea coastline and the english channel. but brightening up in southern scotland and at times we will see some fleeting sunshine in southern parts of england and south—west wales. but there will be a lot of cloud. northern england brightening up and southern scotland and northern ireland brightening up. temperatures tempered by the breeze on the east coast at best here 18 degrees. if you're in the sunshine it could be up to 22 degrees in scotland. that will feel the quite pleasant. tonight, we hang on to a lot of cloud and there will be some

clear skies. still this breeze down the north—east coast and the english channel. temperatures generally in double figures tonight, but in some sheltered glens they could dip to five degrees. tomorrow, it is almost a repeat performance of today. we have a lot of cloud and some right rain especially in eastern areas. if you're picking out nuances, the breeze not as strong as today, but still breezy in east anglia and the channel. some breaks across scotland, north—west england and also parts of wales. also parts of eastern northern ireland at times. temperatures 13 to about 20 degrees. into friday, high pressure that has been dominating still with us. but starting to edge eastwards. so still a fair bit of cloud around. the best of any brightness or sunshine on is from going to be out to the west.

temperatures 11t from going to be out to the west. temperatures 1a in lerwick to 21 in cardiff and london. there is a slight proten potential change, we had expected low pressure to come in, but it look like it has slowed up. saturday will be dry with still variable amounts of cloud. but some sunshine. depending on if that low pressure comes in, it could be dry too on sunday. i will have more later. hello. this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. more than 17,000 people have been evacuated by the uk from afghanistan, but it's believed that up to 250 people and theirfamilies remain in the country. the government is now engaged in talks with the taliban to secure safe passage for those wishing to leave.

let's speak now to the newly appointed ministerfor afghan resettlement, victoria atkins. thank you forjoining us. there is a lot to talk to about, so let's try and get through as much as we can. president biden overnight describing what happened as an extraordinary success. is what happened as an extraordinary success. , ~ ~' what happened as an extraordinary success. , ~ ~ ., ., success. is it? well, i think from a uk perspective. — success. is it? well, i think from a uk perspective, we _ success. is it? well, i think from a uk perspective, we should - success. is it? well, i think from a uk perspective, we should be - uk perspective, we should be very proud of for british soldiers have done. it has come at a considerable cost for some families. but we have seen real movements forward within afghanistan, such as girls being educated, we've seen the al-qaeda terrorist camps, which you may remember was the reason why we went on in the first place, those were removed. i haven't afghanistan became a place of relative stability and security. we want those gains to be maintained, which is why sir

long—term aim of all the international community. flan long-term aim of all the international community. long-term aim of all the international communi . . ., ~ international community. can we talk about the safe _ international community. can we talk about the safe passage _ international community. can we talk about the safe passage first - international community. can we talk about the safe passage first of - international community. can we talk about the safe passage first of all? i about the safe passage first of all? how can you make them guarantee that? �* ., how can you make them guarantee that? �* . ., ., ., ~' that? again, we have to work with what we have- _ that? again, we have to work with what we have. yesterday, - that? again, we have to work with what we have. yesterday, the - what we have. yesterday, the foreign secretary set out we will use every lever secretary set out we will use every [ever at our disposal, diplomatic and otherwise. the taliban will rely on international aid for many of its sources of income and we want to ensure that that is very much in the forefront of their minds when we are discussing with them and third countries things like safe passage and humanitarian rights. what and humanitarian rights. what would ou tell and humanitarian rights. what would you tell someone _ and humanitarian rights. what would you tell someone who _ and humanitarian rights. what would you tell someone who is _ and humanitarian rights. what would you tell someone who is eligible - and humanitarian rights. what would you tell someone who is eligible to l you tell someone who is eligible to get out, where should they be heading and what should they be doing? heading and what should they be doinu ? ., , heading and what should they be doin a ? ., , ., " , heading and what should they be doing? there have been leaks from the meeting _ doing? there have been leaks from the meeting yesterday _ doing? there have been leaks from the meeting yesterday with - doing? there have been leaks from the meeting yesterday with the - the meeting yesterday with the defence secretary. officials are on the ground trying to reach people.

we are trying to reach people as best we can, but again we have to play with the cards we have. we left kabul airport, there is no us presence there. we need to work with officials on the ground as best we can to reach people and give them advice. as for what individually people should do, i will leave it to those officials to discuss that privately with the individuals concerned because, as you can imagine, explaining evacuation routes on national television is probably not a great idea. might the airort be probably not a great idea. might the airport be used? _ probably not a great idea. might the airport be used? i— probably not a great idea. might the airport be used? i can't— probably not a great idea. might the airport be used? i can't say - probably not a great idea. might the airport be used? i can't say at - probably not a great idea. might the airport be used? i can't say at the i airport be used? i can't say at the moment. airport be used? i can't say at the moment- i _ airport be used? i can't say at the moment. i appreciate _ airport be used? i can't say at the moment. i appreciate this - moment. i appreciate this is frustrating for people watching at home, but this is such a volatile situation and very fast—moving. but it's a positive step that sir simon gassisin it's a positive step that sir simon gass is injoe hart speaking to senior taliban figures. gass is injoe hart speaking to seniortalibanfigures. —— is gass is injoe hart speaking to senior taliban figures. —— is injoe

right by the people have been flown into the uk. you right by the people have been flown into the uk-— into the uk. you are going to be overseeing _ into the uk. you are going to be overseeing this _ into the uk. you are going to be overseeing this operation. - into the uk. you are going to be overseeing this operation. rightj overseeing this operation. right now, what is happening? what is physically happening to people. it is on the red list, so take it from there. ~ ., ., , ., , .,, there. we want to ensure that people can aet there. we want to ensure that people can get through _ there. we want to ensure that people can get through as — there. we want to ensure that people can get through as quickly _ there. we want to ensure that people can get through as quickly as - can get through as quickly as possible and the impact on other travellers is minimised and because they're from a red list country they are put straight into quarantine hotels. we have about 10,000 people in quarantine at the moment, which gives you an idea of the scale of the task. and then as those people are being released from quarantine, we will be putting them into accommodation. we would like to be able to put them into permanent accommodation, but we have to be realistic. the scale of this task is such that we simply don't have

permanent housing available we can offer to people... just permanent housing available we can offer to people. . ._ offer to people... just to interrupt ou, onl offer to people... just to interrupt you. only a _ offer to people... just to interrupt you. only a third _ offer to people... just to interrupt you, only a third of— offer to people... just to interrupt you, only a third of councils - offer to people... just to interrupt you, only a third of councils are i you, only a third of councils are offering to help at this point? h0. offering to help at this point? no, at least a third _ offering to help at this point? tip, at least a third have given firm offers. we are very much in conversations with many, many more. and actually have been really struck by the generosity, notjust of councils but also british people, there have been some amazing stories across the country. for example, in scarborough, the public have been turning up to the hotel where people are with toys and clothes and donations. we want to really harness that great kindness, so in the coming days we will be announcing a portal where people can register their interest, offers of interest, as to how they can help afghan people integrate into our society because it's right that we are

fairto fair to people who are very welcome in our country, who have worked hard for us in afghanistan, but we also have to do this in a way that is fair to the british people. so we want people to integrate as quickly and is well and as soundly as possible, which is why, for example, we are announcing an expansion of english language courses for adults. so they are able to learn our language and join our society as easily and efficiently as possible. can i ask you on housing as well because one of the problem seems to because one of the problem seems to be there are not enough large houses for large families. what will you do? will you have to stipulate —— separate families? h0. separate families? no, it's precisely — separate families? no, it's precisely why _ separate families? no, it's precisely why we _ separate families? no, it's precisely why we have - separate families? no, it's - precisely why we have announced as part of this package of measures and additionalfund to help part of this package of measures and additional fund to help councils fund those larger properties that families will need. this will take time. i don't want to pretend we're going to be able to do this in days or weeks because, as you say, there are large families but also the number of people that we evacuated.

this was the largest evacuation in living memory. we exceeded even our own hopes and expectations. so the military having done that for us, we now have to complete the task and integrate people into our society, and we're going to be doing that through education, opportunities, so many of the people that we've seen on our television screens of the last few days have talked about really wanting to pay back our society and work and perhaps join the army. i've heard people taking up the army. i've heard people taking up medical studies and working in the nhs, all of these really great offers, which i hope means that people will be welcomed into our communities and really become strong members of our communities over the years. members of our communities over the ears. . members of our communities over the ears, ., ., members of our communities over the ears. . ., a i. members of our communities over the ears. . . i. ., members of our communities over the ears. . ., ,, years. can i ask you also, because not everybody _ years. can i ask you also, because not everybody will _ years. can i ask you also, because not everybody will be _ years. can i ask you also, because not everybody will be eligible - years. can i ask you also, because not everybody will be eligible for l not everybody will be eligible for that particular scheme, and we know people are making their way to the borders and will be on their way to

the uk, if they arrive from afghanistan, what happens to them? well, this is the great challenge that we are facing in other parts of immigration policy, which is trying to stop these people trafficking gangs that are exploiting vulnerable people by bringing them over on small boats, tiny boats, across the channel, at great risk. sadly, someone died trying to cross recently. our message has been please do not travel here illegally. the quid pro quo of that is we will offer safe and legal roots, and that's precisely what we're doing with the afghan resettlement scheme. we need to do this in an orderly, legal way because we do not want these people trafficking gangs to continue exploiting people in ways they have been.— they have been. victoria atkins, thank you _ they have been. victoria atkins, thank you for— they have been. victoria atkins, thank you for your _ they have been. victoria atkins, thank you for your time - they have been. victoria atkins, thank you for your time and - thank you for your time and breakfast this morning.

it's a busy old morning. we have left a gap because you are going to talk through some of the big movers during the transfer window. you said earlier over £1 billion has been spent. we have heard carol talking about this being the start of a new metrological season and in terms of sport we have just had the transfer window closed. well, yesterday's flurry of activity capped quite a transfer window. record fees have been paid and some of the world's biggest stars have been involved in historic moves. let's talk through some of the biggest changes. firstly this guy, a legend at the club more than a decade ago, cristiano ronaldo is returning to old trafford.

he is massive! no wonder he is so good _ he is massive! no wonder he is so good at _ he is massive! no wonder he is so good at football! at one point it looked like he might be heading to united's rivals, city, but yesterday we caught the first glimpse of him in his new red shirt. he was saying he thinks he can keep playing at the top level until he is into his 40s. he playing at the top level until he is into his 40s— playing at the top level until he is into his 40s. he is 36. it's quite a aood bit into his 40s. he is 36. it's quite a good bit of— into his 40s. he is 36. it's quite a good bit of business _ into his 40s. he is 36. it's quite a good bit of business for _ into his 40s. he is 36. it's quite a good bit of business for united. i good bit of business for united. they are paying in instalments of 2.5 million and they initially paid 50 million euros. i don't know what the exchange rate is. but he seems quite cheap for cristiano ronaldo. and here's another big star returning to a former club. romelu lukaku didn't make his mark at chelsea first time round, but now there are huge expectations for him. he's moved from inter milan forjust shy of £100 million. disappointingly not as big! we can see all of him, _ disappointingly not as big! we can see all of him, a _ disappointingly not as big! we can see all of him, a bit— disappointingly not as big! we can see all of him, a bit more -

lionel messi is wearing a different shirt this season. financial difficulties at the catalan club meant they were forced to sell, and the argentinian has joined paris st—germain and reunited with former team—mate neymar. looks like he is staring at louise! he has got his eye on you. i looks like he is staring at louise! he has got his eye on you. i wasn't intimidated — he has got his eye on you. i wasn't intimidated at _ he has got his eye on you. i wasn't intimidated at all! _ he has got his eye on you. i wasn't intimidated at all! looking - he has got his eye on you. i wasn't intimidated at all! looking at - he has got his eye on you. i wasn't intimidated at all! looking at the i intimidated at all! looking at the sho -|n~ intimidated at all! looking at the shopping list _ intimidated at all! looking at the shopping list over _ intimidated at all! looking at the shopping list over the _ intimidated at all! looking at the shopping list over the transfer i shopping list over the transfer window, paris saint—germain have also signed gianluigi donnarumma, the goalkeeper. a spanish defender and a playerfrom the goalkeeper. a spanish defender and a player from the netherlands. the goalkeeper. a spanish defender and a playerfrom the netherlands. j and a player from the netherlands. i thought it was meant to be some sort of financial control over how much you can spend! it’s of financial control over how much you can spend!— of financial control over how much you can spend! it's like the harlem globetrotters. _ you can spend! it's like the harlem globetrotters, putting _ you can spend! it's like the harlem globetrotters, putting together- globetrotters, putting together a star team. the champions league will be interesting. looking ahead to valentine's day next year, perhaps you want to go to paris for a

but they're training for it, just in case, as david cowan reports. the police are preparing for the worst case scenario. get back! as things stand, they don't have any intelligence that this will happen for real, but they're getting readyjust in case. over the next two months over 2,500 officers will receive public order training. we need to place this training in context. this is very much about that contingency for a very small number of people who we expect to behave this way. the whole point of this training is emphasised on de—escalation. loud music was blasted out to make it difficult for commanders to issue their orders. i predict a riot by the kaiser chiefs one of the more appropriate tunes. the training, at an old army base outside edinburgh saw officers stepping up and scaling down their response to different scenarios. very important it is much more realistic in this scenario than

anything i have been before in the public order training. so it is good to get you under that pressure. the force says it will take a human rights—based approach to policing cop26, facilitating peaceful protests while trying to minimise disruption to the wider glasgow community. cop26 will run for 13 days from the end of october. over 100 world leaders are expected, including joe biden and pope francis and around 20,000 delegates. every day 10,000 police will be on duty. the scottish government has this message for the public. as always, listen to i the police advice, the police will have intelligence on - pressure points around the country, they will know what to say in terms of publicl safety, so listen to the _ police, and also if. you want to protest, then that is your right to do, protest at these events. at the cop conference in madrid two years ago, a huge crowd exercised that right. another march is planned for glasgow on sixth november. organisers hope up to 100,000 will attend.

and extinction rebellion will make their presence felt in the city. they're part of a coalition of over 100 organisations who will demand action on climate change. yes, there may be some disorder, yes there might be some streets that are _ blocked, but the police need to be respectful of that, because that is a vital part of democratic protest and we can't do without it and without that the cop26 isjust going to be a show. the police are talking to the protest groups and hoping to avoid any of this happening for real. david cowan, bbc news, edinburgh. we're going to tell you about a remarkable feat now, which was completed on one of these devices here. it's called a paramotor, and danieljones flew 800 miles from john o'groats to lands end on his own using it, while his dad followed him in his car. it was all to raise money for alzheimer's research, after both his grandparents

mixed fortunes today. the sun is already out in dunfermline in fife. for many of us, it is a different story, because for the next few days what you've had is what you're going to get again. high pressure what produced some cloud thick enough for some drizzle, with some sunshine. here is that area of high pressure, the air moving around it in a clockwise direction, so we are dragging in moisture from the north sea and breezy here and in the the english channel. so we are starting on a cloudy note and damp in eastern and south eastern areas. it is sunny in parts of scotland. the cloud in the south will continue to break through the day. you will see some sunshine as well. for northern ireland, although it is a cloudy start, it should brighten up in the

north and east and northern england should see some bright skies. but cooler on the east coast. we will see some fleeting breaks, especially in southern england and also south—west wales. these are our temperatures, 13 to 19, but we could see up to 22 in the sunshine in parts of western scotland. tonight, it is a return to cloud and some clear sky some clear skies. still breezy down the north sea coast and the channel. if we see some breaks in shelt sheltered glens, temperatures could be down to five degrees. generally it is in double figures in towns and cities. tomorrow, it is that old pattern that we are in, a fair bit of cloud and still thick enough for some

light rain. it won't be as breezy down the north sea coastline. more sunshine in scotland, parts of northern ireland, parts of northern england and parts of western wales as well. temperatures ranging from 13 to 19 maybe 20 degrees. into friday, still a fair bit of cloud and high pressure starts to drift further east. the best of the breaks as a result will be in the west. but this cloud will still be thick enough for some light rain and temperatures at 13 to about 20 degrees. then the forecast for the weekend may well change. low pressure is coming in from the west, how quickly it comes in will depend on when we see some rain. the headlines are next.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today... uk officials are in talks with the taliban, to try to get more british nationals safely out of afghanistan. president biden launches a robust defence of the us withdrawal,

describing the evacuation efforts as an "extraordinary success". we succeeded in what we set out to do in afghanistan over a decade ago, and we stayed for another decade. it was time to end this war. it is certainly a new mutual way to start a school term, lateral flow tests ahead of lessons and these scenes will be played out in thousands of schools this week. we will find out what else will be different for pupils this term. good morning to stop if you fill it with petrol there are big changes at the pump from today as a standard fuel becomes more environmentally friendly. but it won't work for everyone. we have all the advice you need. our top story — the uk is in talks with the taliban

to secure a way out of afghanistan for british nationals and afghans who worked with allied forces. the talks are taking place in doha and come after the militant group pledged to allow departures to continue after the evacuation effort ended. it's thought up to 250 people eligible for relocation — plus their families — remain in the country. earlier on breakfast the newly appointed minister for afghan resettlement, victoria atkins, told us the talks are vitally important for guaranteeing safe passage. we have to work with what we have. yesterday, the foreign secretary set out we will use every [ever at our disposal, diplomatic and otherwise. and the prime minister has been clear of his expectations as well. the taliban will be relying on international aid for a great many of its sources of income and we want to ensure that that is very much in the forefront of their minds when we are discussing with them and the third countries, things like safe passage and humanitarian rights.

that is victorian atkins —— victoria adkins. we also asked shadow foreign secretary lisa nandy about the talks. she warned that the situation for those still stranded in afghanistan was "desperate". the dialogue is now essential, we are in a new reality, the reality is that, because of the series of mistakes that led us to this point, we are now reliant on the taliban for permission to move people out of the country. that includes afghans who helped us, but it also includes british nationals, so that dialogue is absolutely essential and ought to be taking place. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. let's start with the talks, how important are they?— let's start with the talks, how important are they? very important because one _ important are they? very important because one of _ important are they? very important because one of the _ important are they? very important because one of the international- because one of the international community's top priorities is the safe passage, the idea that afghan nationals in afghanistan who helped british forces or other countries in the country can leave and settle in those of the countries. that is something the international community really pushes far. that is

now being pushed by a senior diplomat, simon gass, in doha in qatar talking to representatives. it is a bit of a test for both sides, a test for the taliban, saying they will offer safe passage. well they live up to that? and it is a testified british diplomacy because how do you get something you want from the taliban without cosying up to much to them? a delicate diplomatic dance but we are getting very few details about what the talks are actually about and it is very much under the radar. irate talks are actually about and it is very much under the radar. we were talkin: to very much under the radar. we were talking to lisa _ very much under the radar. we were talking to lisa nandy _ very much under the radar. we were talking to lisa nandy about - very much under the radar. we were talking to lisa nandy about the - talking to lisa nandy about the issue of ministerial responsibility. dominic raab will face some tough questions? he dominic raab will face some tough cuestions? . . dominic raab will face some tough cuestions? .. ~ , ., questions? he will face mps on the foreian questions? he will face mps on the foreign affairs _ questions? he will face mps on the foreign affairs committee - questions? he will face mps on the foreign affairs committee in - foreign affairs committee in parliament and it will be worth watching because the chair of the committee tom tugendhat is also a former military officer who served

in afghanistan and he made the very powerful speech that went round the entire world when parliament was recalled to discuss the crisis the week before last. that is a bit of political, there will be possibly a big clash between him and dominic raab and dominic raab has lots of questions to answer. you spoke to lisa nandy earlier on, labour have put out a list of ten questions about the past, present and future in afghanistan that he will be quizzed on. in afghanistan that he will be quizzed om— in afghanistan that he will be cuizzed on. . . , , . ., quizzed on. and also, this operation warm welcome. _ quizzed on. and also, this operation warm welcome. she _ quizzed on. and also, this operation warm welcome. she is _ quizzed on. and also, this operation warm welcome. she is now - quizzed on. and also, this operation warm welcome. she is now the - warm welcome. she is now the minister responsible for that. we got some more detail on that. there is money going _ got some more detail on that. there is money going the _ got some more detail on that. there is money going the way _ got some more detail on that. there is money going the way of— got some more detail on that. there is money going the way of local - is money going the way of local authorities because the local authorities because the local authorities in england that will have to look after them in practical terms, so money to help with housing and in particular large houses because afghan families tend to be larger than their british families. there is going to be money for extra school places to help local

authorities as well and extra money for health care like gp appointments and everyone arriving will be offered a vaccine whilst in quarantine as well. and also the immigration status that will be given to these people, they will get something called indefinite leave to remain which is basically one step removed from british citizenship, meaning you get to stay here permanently. that is a change introduced to immigration rules for all refugees, a welcome clarification for the thousands of people arriving in the uk from afghanistan.— people arriving in the uk from afuhanistan. . . ,, ., �* , afghanistan. adam, i know you'll be watchin: afghanistan. adam, i know you'll be watching the — afghanistan. adam, i know you'll be watching the select _ afghanistan. adam, i know you'll be watching the select committee - watching the select committee closely. thank you. president biden has defended his decision to withdraw us troops from afghanistan — calling the evacuation effort an "extraordinary success". he insisted the united states had achieved everything it set out to do, and claimed troops should have left the country "long ago". but his approach has faced criticism, with some saying us citizens have been left stranded

"behind enemy lines". he told reporters that staying in afghanistan would risk another decade of war. that was the choice, the real choice. between leaving or escalating. i was not going to extend this forever war. and i was not extending a forever exit. to those asking for a third decade of war in afghanistan, i ask, what is the vital national interest? in my view, we only have one — to make sure afghanistan can never jimmy in my view, we only have one - to- make sure _ afghanistan can never be used again to launch an attack on our homeland. an expensive but "game—changing" anti—cholesterol drug could soon be offered to hundreds of thousands of people in england and wales on the nhs. it normally costs nearly £2000 per dose, but the manufacturer has agreed an undisclosed discount for the health service. nhs england says the treatment could save about 30,000

lives within a decade. the mayor of new orleans has imposed a night time curfew in the city to try to stem crime in the wake of the devastation caused by hurricane ida. many residents still don't have electricity, and energy companies have warned it could take weeks to restore power in some areas. the storm has killed at least two people and officials say the death toll is likely to rise. the australian state of victoria will stay in lockdown until 70% of the population has had at least one dose of a covid—19 vaccine. officials estimate that will happen by the 23rd of september. most of the state is currently in strict lockdown, with tougher measures including a nightime curfew in place around greater melbourne. it's just four weeks until the uk premiere of daniel craig s fifth and final outing as james bond in no time to die, which has been repeatedly delayed by the pandemic.

have you booked your tickets yet? the final trailer has just been released and it shows some of the high—octane action that bond fans have come to expect. mark lobel reports. come on, bond, where the hell are you? indeed! the world has been waiting quite a while. barring another screeching u—turn, we are weeks away from witnessing bond's return out of retirement and into the arms of an old foe. know your enemy is my enemy. how did that happen? well, you live long enough. after a year in which the pandemic sent the box office into a tailspin with billions of dollars lost, and after that top gun tom cruise's well—publicised summer trip to see tenet proved somewhat of a false start, could no time to die be the blockbuster that really brings us back to the big screen? the release may also help bolster the box office

in its battle with the home sofa. even though amazon's takeover of mgm, the hollywood studio behind bond, has led some to speculate future releases like this may be fast tracked to the small screen. that is a sore point for actors who profit from box office bonuses, including black widow actress scarlettjohansson, who is currently in a battle with the walt disney company, unhappy they premiered her film on its streaming service at the same time as cinemas. i understand 00s have a very short life expectancy. but every actor who has played bond so far has made it safely onto the big screen. all eight of them, in fact. sean connery, roger moore, timothy dalton and pierce brosnan and in the '60s, george lazenby and david niven.

not to forget the first bond in the '50s, barry nelson. he was in casino royale. so who is odds—on to take overfrom daniel craig? that bloke from bridgerton? marvel�*s kung fu master or the man who played superman? but this bond has are to survive another plot twists first. james. you don't know what that is. if he does finally his way to the big screen we will find out. do you think he has been practising that? i do you think he has been practising that? “ do you think he has been practising that? 4' ., ., 4' do you think he has been practising that? 4' ., ., ~ , that? i think it took a few takes. we would all _ that? i think it took a few takes. we would all do _ that? i think it took a few takes. we would all do it! _ that? i think it took a few takes. we would all do it! i _ that? i think it took a few takes. we would all do it! i am - that? i think it took a few takes. we would all do it! i am so - that? i think it took a few takes. i we would all do it! i am so looking forward to it- _ we would all do it! i am so looking forward to it. it _ we would all do it! i am so looking forward to it. it has _ we would all do it! i am so looking forward to it. it has been - we would all do it! i am so looking forward to it. it has been a - we would all do it! i am so looking forward to it. it has been a for- forward to it. it has been a for ears! forward to it. it has been a for years! since — forward to it. it has been a for years! since i _ forward to it. it has been a for years! since i interviewed - forward to it. it has been a for| years! since i interviewed billie eilish, way _ years! since i interviewed billie eilish, way back _ years! since i interviewed billie eilish, way back in _ years! since i interviewed billie eilish, way back in february. it| years! since i interviewed billie . eilish, way back in february. it has been delayed _ eilish, way back in february. it has been delayed a _ eilish, way back in february. it has been delayed a lot _ eilish, way back in february. it has been delayed a lot of _ eilish, way back in february. it has been delayed a lot of times. -

it's back—to—school time for children in england, wales and northern ireland this week — a fortnight after their scottish counterparts returned to the classroom. but with a rise in covid cases in scotland being linked to students going back, tim muffett at a school in rotherham for us finding out what measures are being taken to protect pupils there. we are live from the school hall. welcome from tiverton. scenes like this will be played out at many other schools. schools in scotland and mainly went back in august to 16th. forwales, northern ireland and england it is mainly this week and england it is mainly this week and next. in england, pupils are invited into schools to take a lateral flow test before lessons begin to stop if it is negative, they are fine to go ahead. it is a different way of approaching the school term but it has been such an unprecedented time for the education sector. there are different levels of restrictions on different schools, a new approach and one

which staff, students and parents are having to get their heads around. an unconventional start to an academic year. skinners school in tunbridge wells, where like hundreds of thousands of others, students are taking lateral—flow tests before lessons begin. like, masks and not being able to hang out with other classes. not having to wear masks between class and stuff is a big step in the right direction i think. we have had like games cancelled and things like that, so it's hard, i but now that we are back - and we are tested it is easier to enjoy those things again. the education system has faced enormous disruption because of covid. whole year groups have been sent home after one positive case, but this term it's only the pupil who tests positive who definitely needs to self—isolate. those specifically identified as close contacts will be asked to take a test. if it's negative, self—isolation won't be necessary.

i'm sure there will be a problem at some stage when the flu season hits and covid is still around and i do expect at some stage we will have to make contingency arrangements, but i'm hopeful we can get through the whole year with a full curriculum, everyone doing everything and it feel like a normal school. in england, wales and northern ireland, strict rules over facemasks and social distancing have been relaxed. schools have much more power to decide which rules to keep. in scotland, where schools re—opened in mid—august, most rules are staying in place for at least six weeks. so different abroaches in different parts of the uk. around 300,000 carbon dioxide monitors are to be made available to schools in england to try and improve ventilation. a build—up of c02 could mean that fresh air is failing to circulate and action is needed. but some unions are critical of the way the return to school in england is being handled.

i do not understand why really sensible safety precautions however were stopped. covid hasn't gone away. the virus is more, much more infectious in the community now than it was at this time last year. covid has upended the way schools operate. staff, students and parents can only hope that this term brings normality back to the classroom. tim muffett, bbc news. in england head teachers have more power to decide what restrictions they want. you're deciding to keep some restrictions in place, why that is? ~ . . some restrictions in place, why that is? ~ . , ,., . some restrictions in place, why that is? ~ ., . . is? we felt it was important we gave our community _ is? we felt it was important we gave our community the _ is? we felt it was important we gave our community the confidence - is? we felt it was important we gave our community the confidence and i our community the confidence and security that as we return to school there is 2,000 students here on narrow corridors, that we were safe and certain that the restrictions we had in place before, some we have kept, one of those is masks on

narrow corridors and the wearing of masks inside on social areas. we feel that will give our community and students greater confidence. this a risk there will be confusion. schools will be make their own decisions. there will be differences between schools perhaps close to each other. what is your thoughts about that? i each other. what is your thoughts about that?— each other. what is your thoughts about that? , ,., about that? i believe the government has uiven about that? i believe the government has given us — about that? i believe the government has given us greater _ about that? i believe the government has given us greater flexibility - about that? i believe the government has given us greater flexibility and . has given us greater flexibility and i welcome that. it is important we protect our community in rotherham and gave confidence that won't be giving viruses back to the community. giving viruses back to the community-— giving viruses back to the communi . ~ . , . , , community. what will be happen somethina community. what will be happen something this _ community. what will be happen something this week, _ community. what will be happen something this week, we - community. what will be happen something this week, we are - community. what will be happen - something this week, we are inviting each ear something this week, we are inviting each year group _ something this week, we are inviting each year group to — something this week, we are inviting each year group to come _ something this week, we are inviting each year group to come in _ something this week, we are inviting each year group to come in to - something this week, we are inviting each year group to come in to test. i each year group to come in to test. they will come from from 7.30 in the morning. we have year groups that were taking exams first. they will

advisory group sage, but is speaking to us today in a personal capacity. thank you very much for being us with this morning. with restrictions having been eased from last term, ventilation has been something which i know we have spoke on the the labour party a lot about, their desires to improve ventilation in schools, why is it so important and why does it help stop the spread of the virus? ~ . why does it help stop the spread of the virus? ~ , ., the virus? well, it is now well-established - the virus? well, it is now well-established there i the virus? well, it is now well-established there is i the virus? well, it is now - well-established there is some risk well—established there is some risk of airborne transmission. it difficult to quantify, but there is a risk and using ventilation is a good way to mitigate that. it is one of a number of measures you need to use. making sure places are well ventilated is a good way of reducing the risk, helping to get fresh air in to get rid of the virus. i5

the risk, helping to get fresh air in to get rid of the virus. is it the risk, helping to get fresh air in to get rid of the virus.- in to get rid of the virus. is it as simle in to get rid of the virus. is it as simple as _ in to get rid of the virus. is it as simple as opening _ in to get rid of the virus. is it as simple as opening a _ in to get rid of the virus. is it as simple as opening a window i in to get rid of the virus. is it as simple as opening a window or| in to get rid of the virus. is it as - simple as opening a window or does it need to be more ehas been rated. i __ it need to be more ehas been rated. i-- ., ., it it need to be more ehas been rated. l --_ it can _ it need to be more ehas been rated. l --_ it can be _ it need to be more ehas been rated. l--_ it can be as- it need to be more ehas been rated. i --_ it can be as simple i i -- elaborate? it can be as simple as opening — i -- elaborate? it can be as simple as opening win _ i -- elaborate? it can be as simple as opening win dows _ i -- elaborate? it can be as simple as opening win dows a _ i -- elaborate? it can be as simple as opening win dows a bit. - i -- elaborate? it can be as simple as opening win dows a bit. that i as opening win dows a bit. that doesn't mean opening all the windows, cracking a window will give some air. some have mechanical ventilation and it is important that is maintained. a lot of rooms will have background ventilation, small slots, making sure they're open and working, that is part of it as well. some modern schools might have air conditioning, is that helpful? how does that work with regards to the virus? . . . ., ., , virus? yeah, ok, air conditioning is a different thing. _ virus? yeah, ok, air conditioning is a different thing. that _ virus? yeah, ok, air conditioning is a different thing. that is _ virus? yeah, ok, air conditioning is a different thing. that is mainly - virus? yeah, ok, air conditioning is a different thing. that is mainly a i a different thing. that is mainly a cooling thing. a lot of schools may have mechanical systems that use fans and ducts to move air around

spaces. if those systems are working, they're maintained, they will give you, they can give you good ventilation rates and you know that can be properly managed. in other spaces, which rely on people doing things like opening windows, people need to interact with that and make sure that all those things work. that the windows can be opened and that the handles are not broken. we may see some pupils wearing coats in the classroom, in some old buildings, the only way the ventilate is to open the window. teas ventilate is to open the window. yes it doesn't ventilate is to open the window. is; it doesn't mean ventilate is to open the window. iezs it doesn't mean opening ventilate is to open the window. i2; it doesn't mean opening all the windows all the time. we want to get you know reasonable levels of ventilation, but we don't want people to be freezing cold. trying to get that middle ground is something to aim for. it might be things like opening the windows a little bit, it might

things like opening the windows a little hit, it might be opening the windows a lot in between classes to flush things through. so that people aren't cold or uncomfortable. what aren't cold or uncomfortable. what about air cleaners? _ aren't cold or uncomfortable. what about air cleaners? i _ aren't cold or uncomfortable. what about air cleaners? i heard - aren't cold or uncomfortable. what about air cleaners? i heard somebody talk about that, is that is real good option, does that work? thea;r good option, does that work? they can work, good option, does that work? they can work. but _ good option, does that work? they can work, but it _ good option, does that work? they can work, but it is _ good option, does that work? they can work, but it is an _ good option, does that work? ti21 can work, but it is an option of last resort. that may work if you have a room that can't be ventilated in any other way. but that shouldn't be happening in schools, they should be happening in schools, they should be capable of being ventilated. but certain types of rooms, internal rooms, rooms in which there might be significant other programmes that may reduce ventilation, such as lots of noise outside. some forms of air cleaner may be effective, but you know need to be cautious about which ones are being used. some in themselves may be harmful, but there are good filtration systems that may be helpful. it is

needs to be ventilated. for older buildings that were built prior to existing regulations, trying to understand what their systems are and how they have changed, buildings may have been adapted or changes, thatis may have been adapted or changes, that is important. one of the problems here is that we often don't know what is happening in buildings. trying to get data from monitoring and understanding conditions in buildings is a useful way of getting a sense of that picture and where the effort needs to be directed. thank you. i'm sure that information many parents will be thinking actual about. things coming up, we have ian wright coming up. an expensive but "game—changing" anti—cholesterol drug could soon be offered

to hundreds of thousands of people in england and wales on the nhs. it normally costs nearly 2,000 pounds per dose, but the manufacturer has agreed an undisclosed discount for the health service. nhs england says the treatment could save about 30,000 lives within a decade. our health reporter michelle roberts has more. too much had fat can clog up arteries. some people need medication. cheap tablets called statins work for many, but not all. people in england and wales could soon be offered a new type of treatment on the nhs. it is called inclisiran and it is an injection given twice a year that can lower bad fat in the blood when other drugs have not done enough. there is a hue drugs have not done enough. there is a huge unmet — drugs have not done enough. there is a huge unmet need, _ drugs have not done enough. there is a huge unmet need, high _ drugs have not done enough. there is a huge unmet need, high cholesterol| a huge unmet need, high cholesterol levels and in some cases there are

people who are just vulnerable to even modest levels of cholesterol and it is a silent killer. being able to lower that and bring levels down close to the levels we were born with conveniently and safely is a complete game—changer. nhs england says the treatment could save about 30,000 lives within a decade. the health watchdog nice is recommending it as an option for people who have already had a stroke or heart attack and are not responding to other cholesterol—lowering treatments. nice says a ground—breaking deal has been met with the manufacturer to make it affordable for the nhs. its use is already approved in scotland. michelle roberts, bbc news. you're watching bbc breakfast, still to come: ian wright will be here to tell us about his new children's book — inspired by his own story of becoming a professional footballer.

is in scotland. you can see the sunshine in southern scotland and for much of england and wales and northern ireland, a cloudy start with the cloud thick enough in the east for light rain. through the afternoon, we will see some breaks across southern england, south wales, breezy through the channel, breezy down the east coast as well. northern england and the north and east of northern ireland and scotland seeing sunshine. temperatures getting up to 22 degrees in the sunshine. lower along the north sea coast. tonight once again we see a return to a bit of cloud, some hill fog and mist here and there. and some drizzle. but where we have clear skies, that is where we have clear skies, that is where the temperature will fall in sheltered glens it should be five degrees. for much of the rest of the

uk in town and cities, we are staying in double figures. so tomorrow once again we are in is in rut of a lot of cloud, thick enough for patchy rain and drizzle. tomorrow the breeze won't be as strong down the north sea coastline. tomorrow too perhaps a few more brighter breaks with sunshine in parts of the west. but its scotland that will see the lion's share of the sunshine. friday, our high pressure drifts further east and the distribution of the cloud perhaps different, some breaks in it, especially across western areas and the breeze easing off. these are temperatures, ili the breeze easing off. these are temperatures, iii to 21. then there could be a change in the forecast. i say could, because what is happening is low pressure is coming in from the west, but it is how quickly. we thought it would come later on saturday, bringing showers. but now we think it is going to stay dry on

saturday. the cloud thick enough for the odd spot of light rain, but temperatures in any sunshine that we have up to 20 or 22 degrees. into sunday, it is looking like it will stay largely dry with sunshine. the rain from that low pressure just waiting in the wings out to the west, but it will feel warmer on sunday. especially in the south. more later. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. i have got an early warning. you know that carol was saying it is the end of the summer officially. i said i was going to leave after the summer. it is not today's! not today. i will be leaving this programme on the 15th of september, so i think two weeks. that programme on the 15th of september, so i think two weeks.— so i think two weeks. that is only six programmes _

good morning, sorry to drag you away from that chat. there is more environmentally friendly fuel. if you're filling up today, you will see changes. this is about the government's drive for britain to be carbon neutral. we are moving to electric cars by 2030. but in the meantime this is about making petrol better for the environment. you will get your unleaded e5. that means 5% of your petrol until today was made up of your petrol until today was made up of ethanol, the rest unleaded petrol. why is ethanol better for the environment? it is alcohol, it is a product of plant and food wastes. so it is natural. as of today, that 5% shifts to io%. 50 double the amount of natural gas going into it. that is the

equivalent of taking 350,000 cars off the road. or the equivalent of every single car in north yorkshire. on the whole your car should be fine, but for some that were build before 2011 they may not be compatible with the new eio. was will have to check that. that will affect up to around 650,000 motors. if you need to stick with e5, a warning, the price will go up by around 12 pence a litre and also you won't be able to find it every where. you will have to find a local supplier. we have been speaking to people in stockport this morning about how much they knew about the shift. j about how much they knew about the shift. ~' , about how much they knew about the shift. ~ , ., ., ., ., .,

humans have continued to warm the planet through the use of fossil fuels. in germany and belgium this summer rain saw towns and villages flooded, sweeping away lives and homes in seconds. almost half the deaths that occur in disasters in the last 50 years have been due to water and climate—related hazards say experts. the economic impact has grown far more severe, with damages from weather—related events costing more than seven time what is they did in the 70s. but despite the increase in hazards, the good news the number of people being killed by storms and floods and drought has decreased by two thirds over the past five decades. this is due to early warning systems that give people more time to move from danger. much work remains to be done

as only half the world's countries have adequate warning networks in place. coming up shortly we will have the weather with carol. the time is eight. 59.
