good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. our headlines today: gps are forced to delay flu jabs because of a shortage of hgv drivers, which has disrupted supplies. a mass vaccine rollout for 12— 15—year—olds could still go ahead despite a decision by the government's scientific advisors not to support it. us presidentjoe biden has warned about the dangers of climate change after visiting communities devastated by hurricane ida. a magnificent seventh gold medal, for hannah cockcroft. she's the paralympic champion once again in the t34 800 metres, the first of three golds already

today for the british team in tokyo. good today for the british team in tokyo. morning, it ha and good morning, it has been a bit cool and cloudy for some of us recently but you will be pleased to hear there is a bit more sunshine in the forecast, and temperatures will be on the up over the next few days. some rain and a forecast for tomorrow in the north, i will have all the details throughout this morning's programme. it's saturday 4 september. our top story: some gp surgeries in england and wales have begun cancelling appointments for the winter flu jab, after delays to the delivery of doses of the vaccine. a shortage of lorry drivers is believed to be behind the problem. doctors have warned it will have a serious impact on workloads and patients. our correspondent helena wilkinson has this report. this year's flu campaign is set to be the largest in history. more than 35 million people in the uk will be offered the jab on the nhs. news of a delay to some flu vaccine delivery
6:02 am
is is causing concern, and cancellations. the supplier of vaccines to gp practices and pharmacies in england and wales have told their customers supply would be disrupted due to unforeseen road freight challenges. it is believed to be because of a shortage of lorry drivers. the company warned of a delay of up to two weeks. it is advising gps not to book patients in until they have confirmation of delivery. a, until they have confirmation of delive . �* ., ~' until they have confirmation of delive .�* ., ~ delivery. a two-week delay has a massive impact _ delivery. a two-week delay has a massive impact on _ delivery. a two-week delay has a massive impact on our— delivery. a two-week delay has a massive impact on our flu - delivery. a two-week delay has a | massive impact on our flu vaccine programme, because the clinics are already set up, many surgeries already set up, many surgeries already have a lot of vulnerable patients booked in, we like to get going early on in september, ready for the winter. so this is really, really worrying. for the winter. so this is really, really worrying-— for the winter. so this is really, really worrying. doctors are already deafinu really worrying. doctors are already dealing with — really worrying. doctors are already dealing with a _ really worrying. doctors are already dealing with a chronic _ really worrying. doctors are already dealing with a chronic shortage - really worrying. doctors are already dealing with a chronic shortage of. dealing with a chronic shortage of blood test tubes. supply chain
6:03 am
issues have been blamed for that. the british medical association said delays to flu vaccine delivery is caused a huge increase in staff's already unsustainable workloads. adding that it created unneeded anxiety for patients. the uk's four chief medical officers are expected to decide within days whether to recommend vaccinating healthy children against coronavirus. yesterday the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation, which advises the government, decided against recommending the jabs for 12— to15—year—olds, saying the health benefits were marginal. here's our health correspondent catherine burns. america has been doing it since may. more than 10 million 12—to 15 —year—olds there have had a covert vaccine. 0ther —year—olds there have had a covert vaccine. other countries are too, including canada, brazil, france, the netherlands, italy — but not the uk. regulators approved vaccines as
6:04 am
safe and effective for this age group in the summer, but the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation�*sjob is to committee on vaccination and immunisation�*s job is to decide committee on vaccination and immunisation�*sjob is to decide if it is necessary. if the answer — not for every 12—15 —year—olds. for it is necessary. if the answer - not for every 12-15 -year-olds.- for every 12-15 -year-olds. for the healthy children, _ for every 12-15 -year-olds. for the healthy children, the _ for every 12-15 -year-olds. for the healthy children, the risk- - for every 12-15 -year-olds. for the healthy children, the risk- benefit| healthy children, the risk— benefit balance is really very uncertain and very tight. normally what we do when we recommend vaccination for children is we see a very clear benefit, that clearly outweighs any possible risk. and in the absence of that clear blue water if you like between those two, we refer —— preferred to advise that healthy children should not for the moment be immunised.— children should not for the moment be immunised. covid doesn't tend to make children _ be immunised. covid doesn't tend to make children very _ be immunised. covid doesn't tend to make children very sick, _ be immunised. covid doesn't tend to make children very sick, so - be immunised. covid doesn't tend to make children very sick, so the - make children very sick, so the benefits of vaccinating them have to benefits of vaccinating them have to be weighed up against the risks. like myocarditis, inflammation of the heart. it is a very rare complication from pfizer and moderna vaccines, and affects young people more. they tend to recover quickly, but thatjcvi more. they tend to recover quickly, but thatjcvi wants to know more
6:05 am
about the longer term effects. but some of the 3 million 12—to 15 —year—olds throughout the uk will be invited for a vaccine. 150,000 were already eligible because they have conditions including down syndrome orany conditions including down syndrome or any problems. same two for another 11a,000 teenagers because another 11a, 000 teenagers because they live another 11a,000 teenagers because they live with someone who is immunosuppressed. and now that has been extended to another 200,000 children with a wider range of conditions like heart problems, epilepsy or poorly controlled asthma. so as schools go back, teenagers who are most likely to be severely affected by coronavirus will be able to get a vaccine. the experts have made this call purely on the health of children, not other factors like a missing time in education. the next step, the chief medical officers in england, got —— scotland, wales and northern ireland have been asked to weigh up those other factors. have been asked to weigh up those otherfactors. which means this decision could change one way or
6:06 am
another in the next week or so. the taliban say they're making advances in the panjshir valley, where there's been fierce fighting in the only part of afghanistan not under the islamists' control. the area, north of the capital kabul, is one of the country's smallest provinces, and battles there are reported to have left hundreds dead. the leaders of resistance forces have denied the taliban's claims. president biden has praised people in louisiana and mississippi for their response to hurricane ida last sunday. there's been anger at the delays in restoring power, and mr biden promised that infrastructure would be "built back better" to withstand future storms, as nada tawfik reports. one week and a storm that brought america to its knees. look at that tornado! from new orleans to new york, it was a dramatic beating. record rainfall, life—threatening floods, destructive winds and tornadoes usually only seen in the midwest tore through
6:07 am
communities with no mercy. in some places it was unprecedented, and sparked fear about the ferocity and frequency of future weather. oh, my god! the river is flooding! part of this newjersey town was abandoned after the nearby river crested and left cars and homes under 10 feet of water. four people died and about 600 were left homeless. gloria lost everything, but was lucky to escape with her life. she can't swim and had to be rescued by neighbours as the water rose inside her home. i started pounding. for somebody to come and help me so i won't die. i felt like i was dying. down these streets, peoples' belongings and memories are laid out for garbage pick—up. this family lost three cars and everything in their basement. but already the insurance company has told them they will not cover much of the damage.
6:08 am
it's the first time that it happened, but if we stay in the house, what if it happens again? like, does it really pay to stay in this area any more? president biden has approved an emergency declaration for new york and newjersey. today, he traveled to meet victims in louisiana, where ida first made landfall as a category 4 hurricane. after surveying the damage, he highlighted the threat from climate change. things have changed so drastically in terms of the environment. we've already crossed certain thresholds, we cannot build back a road, a highway, a bridge to what it was before. you've got to build back to what it is now, what's needed now. the cost to life, property and infrastructure has been staggering. still, climate change remains a divisive political issue. and so, over the years, america has ignored warnings and some would say this is the result. neda tawfik, bbc news, newjersey. new evidence has emerged that
6:09 am
people have put on weight during the pandemic. nhs data shows that people who signed up for a weight loss programme were, on average, more than five pounds heavier than three years before covid struck. there are concerns this could lead to an increase in the number of people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. blackpool�*s famous illuminations are lighting up the seaside town again, after a star—studded switch—on last night. strictly come dancing's shirley ballas pulled the lever at the iconic tower ballroom, and youtube sensation ksi also attended. it looks really dramatic, doesn't it. 0rganisers opted for a smaller, indoor event after covid put a stop to the planned outdoor extravaganza. that looks a bit like an outdoor extravaganza to me. the lights will stay on untiljanuary again this year. it is always a nice trip to blackpool with the kids to see the lights. blackpool with the kids to see the liuhts. �* , ., .,,

6:11 am
and what might happen next, and why it is that it is quite a nuanced debate this time around. the chief medical officers had to consider the impact on education, and the wider community if teenagers don't have a jab. a quick look inside the papers this morning, the times is reporting on the hopes around the new james times is reporting on the hopes around the newjames bond times is reporting on the hopes around the new james bond film which is out later this week, no time to die, we saw the final trailer released of that, box office takings at the moment are around half of what they were pre— pandemic, and so the hope is that this will deliver a box office killing. we will be talking about that a little later on. when there is hype around something i willjust be like, i have to get involved. i am already booking the babysitters. absolutely, wh not. booking the babysitters. absolutely, why not- the — booking the babysitters. absolutely, why not. the story _ booking the babysitters. absolutely, why not. the story i _ booking the babysitters. absolutely, why not. the story i chosen - booking the babysitters. absolutely, why not. the story i chosen the - booking the babysitters. absolutely, | why not. the story i chosen the same of the times, about whether during a covid, you have more casual, generally we have got more casual. while we have been zooming in the

office, people addressing casual. how this is playing out in the house of commons isjohn bercow apparently in 2018 got more relaxed about the dress code, said there was no exact dress code, said there was no exact dress code, said there was no exact dress code and things were suggested rather than otherwise. but now, lindsay doyle who is the common speaker, to arbitrate on all these things is apparently coming down quite hard on the whole business. and saying that people have got more relaxed, but he is expecting now that business attire will always be worn in and around the chamber. and his behaviour to, here clamping down on singing, clapping, scrolling through twitter, all of those things are to be clamped down on. it happened periodically, sometimes people clap and had always been sorted out lord but been more relaxed. he sorted out lord but been more relaxed. ., . ,, ., relaxed. he acknowledged -- admonished _ relaxed. he acknowledged -- admonished one _ relaxed. he acknowledged -- admonished one of— relaxed. he acknowledged --

6:17 am
hey, welcome to click! we are back after a summer of silliness. i hope you managed to have some kind of break yourself. i tell you, the best thing about being back on this sofa for me is i get to see my good mate, back in her box! it's been weeks since we've done it like this, isn't it? how's your summer been, how are you? oh, it's good to be back and it's lovely to see you too. and my summer has been good, thank you. i've spent two hours a day working out, which is my idea of a break. i know, i've seen your instagram, you've been hitting it hard! hmm. what have you been up to? i've been exercising my brain,
6:18 am
i've been trying these, um, interactive puzzle books which i've become a bit of a fan of. on each page there's some sort of weird puzzle here and once you've worked out what's going on, you scan the qr code and it takes you to a website and tells you whether you're right or not. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is my idea of fun. goodness, and you must be cleverer than ever now? dangerously intelligent, that's me. but anyway, it's back to business now, and september means back to school. and hopefully the kids are going to get a whole year in the classroom. yeah, but because the last 18 months have been so disrupted, schools and kids now face a big challenge — and that's the fact that every child has had a different level of schooling and has different gaps in their education. but, it looks like machine learning might be able to help with the children's learning. four years ago we visited a school which had started using century al to bolster their teaching. this is software that assesses students as they learn, finding where the gaps are, and prompting them with teaching materials
6:19 am
that suit their needs. what it will do is we track all your behaviours, and your mouse movements and how you learn. have they paused, are they scrolling up or down, what words are they looking at, how long are the words, has the child been guessing, have they been skipping, are they hesitating, have they taken longer to answer this question versus another one? well, you know if you know how long it takes for them to read across different subjects. so it's trying to analyse and learn how the student is behaving across the content. the really clever part is that it tracks learning across different subjects, so it can differentiate between a student who is struggling with a mathematical equation, and one who's struggling with how the maths question is posed. in that case it may suggest more literacy tasks.
6:20 am
when the pandemic hit, software like this became increasingly important as students were forced to learn from home. and during the first lockdown, united learning, one of the largest groups of schools in england, introduced another adaptive learning platform to 46 of their secondary schools. sparx maths has thousands and thousands of questions and thousands and thousands of hours of exemplification as well — videos explaining how to do certain operations. now, that means that no teacher ever has to sit down and work out a specific set of questions understands at what point of learning those children are at. and also it marks those questions so the teacher doesn't have to sit for hours marking them in a book and correcting them as well, which i know from personal experience, can consume your entire life. over the past 18 months we've all needed as much help as we could get
6:21 am
as our kids have flipped between school and home learning and we've flopped into bed each night exhausted after being parents, teachers and workers. for some children, learning at home has helped them to blossom — but for many, tech will never beat the teacher. earlier in the year, i met andria zafirakou, the best teacher in the universe — and that's not just according to her pupils, mind, she won the global teacher prize in 2018. the one thing that we have to bear in mind is that you know, by using technology in assessing young people, it's not as good as that 1—to—1 teacher experience, and having that 1—to—1 knowledge with a teacher willjust open up their mind a little bit more, and push them a little bit more to thinking about things which they've never thought about. there is no doubt that technology can be extremely beneficial in the classroom, but choices made by ai could set a direction for the rest of a child's life. and ultimately tech can only augment teachers and free up time so that they can do
6:22 am
what they do best — teach. of course, nothing can beat physically being in the classroom, but even pre—pandemic, some students weren't able to be at school — for example, those with serious illnesses. but now, thanks to the help of some robots, some of these children might able to attend classes remotely. jen copestake's been finding out more. and can you blink your eyes? that's so cool. qasim is a student at seven kings school in east london. he has a serious medical condition which means he hasn't been able to go out since the beginning of the covid pandemic, but comes to class instead in a robot avatar. how long have you been going to school like this, qasim? well originally, it was to do with the lockdown and everything. also i had a surgery so that was also one reason. are you recovering from the surgery now? yeah. i have the impression
6:23 am
qasim is a brave person. you come across very well qasim. oh, thank you. laughs. is this your first time working with a robot in this way or have you done it before? oh, it has been several months already, isn't it qasim? so did theyjust say you're going to be working with a robot instead of a child? everybody was excited. there are 500 av1 robots going to school in this way across the uk and more than 1,500 in europe. it's controlled from a child's home via an app. where are you talking to us from? like, from my ipad at home. oh wow. they can control the movement of the robot on the table, change facial expressions, raise hands, and even sleep. is the blue meaning you're asleep? yes. do you ever put that on in the class? no. laughter. qasim, i'm just going to carry you to the next classroom. sure. at the end of the day,
6:24 am
qasim is put away to charge. he's occasionally had to call his teachers to remind them to switch him on for class. there's something real about it — it's got a head, it moves, it talks. it's almost like qasim is embodied in the robot so it's brilliant! it feels absolutely fine actually. so we get quite used to it and we call the robots actually by the child's name, and because the child's voice is coming out of the robot, and they're quite often laughing and joking with us, it feels like a perfectly natural relationship — it's normal. so it's the first time i'd seen a robot interacting in this way in a classroom and it was quite unexpected. it really did feel like qasim's presence was coming through that robot, and the children in the classroom seemed to enjoy it too. the first prototype av1, 3d print, first prototype comp, which is a computer screen with a robot body. the idea of interacting with robots as avatars rather than video screens came from karen dolva and her team at no isolation in oslo.
6:25 am
raspberry pi in there. camera, microphone. so if a child raises a hand, these lights will light up. these are tiny led lights. then you have the antenna for good reception. you have the 4g module in here, you have the camera board so this is what will sit in the forehead of the robot and let you actually stream. karen found her experience at university to be isolating, and difficult to make new friends. this led to a period of loneliness and depression. i at least isolated myself. i don't think i realised how much i'd pulled away from everyone else until people started literally trying to get me back, which i'm very gratefulfor today. karen started looking at isolation and loneliness in pensioners before redirecting attention to children in hospitals who couldn't get to class.
6:26 am
they were using videoconferencing to get lessons, but she wanted to make a more private way. we were out observing and actually saw a reaction where a kid logged on and everyone in class is saying, like, "you're looking ill", then the kid logs off again which is heartbreaking, like, you don't want that to be the experience you have when you show up in class. qasim is now looking forward to getting back to class in person, and should be able to start again this autumn. how long have you been away from school, qasim? i left some time in february, i think. january, february sometime. then i stopped again. i haven't been in quite a long time. what's that been like to shield for such a long time? eventually, just, it's like, quite annoying i guess because you can't do anything.
6:27 am
since the pandemic, we've really been amazed by the broad range of use cases we've seen, but also we've seen an extreme rise in the level of anxiety amongst students. and just by having that window into the classroom, they gain more confidence, they're able to speak with their peers and their teachers, and the idea of returning to school becomes less daunting. what do you guys think, having qasim interacting like this? i think that it's good from his point of view. he's able to ask the teacher for questions if he needs help. if we didn't have this robot. then i don't think he would be getting the same education that he's getting now. - bell rings. 0oh, that's bell which means school's out! that's it for the short version of this week's click. more on the full—length version of course which is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and as ever you can find the team on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks very much for watching, class dismissed! bye.
6:29 am
hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the uk's four chief medical officers are expected to decide within days whether to recommend vaccinating healthy children against coronavirus. yesterday the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation, which advises the government, decided against recommending the jabs for 12— to 15—year—olds, saying the health benefits were marginal. it's believed the government thinks there's a strong case for going ahead. some gp surgeries in england and wales have begun cancelling appointments for the winter flu jab, after delays to the delivery of doses of the vaccine. a shortage of lorry drivers is believed to be behind the problem. doctors have warned it will have a serious impact on workloads and patients.

the taliban say they're making advances in the panjshir valley, where there's been fierce fighting in the only remaining part of afghanistan not under the islamists' control. the area, north of the capital kabul, is one of the country's smallest provinces and battles there are reported to have left hundreds dead. the leaders of resistance forces have denied the taliban's claims. president biden has been visiting some of the areas of louisiana worst hit by hurricane ida last sunday. he praised the state's response, though he noted the frustration at the delay in restoring power. mr biden promised that the infrastructure would be "built back better" to withstand future storms. new evidence has emerged that people have put on weight during the pandemic. nhs data shows that people who signed up for a weight loss programme were on average more than five pounds heavier than three years before covid struck. there are concerns this could lead to an increase in the number

6:32 am
has won her seventh gold medal overall. she set a new paralympic record too, in the t34 800 metres, in what was a british, one—two, as kare adenegan took silver. there has also been more british success, on the water — let's get more with our reporter out in tokyo, rachael latham. so hannah cockcroft�*s success, one of three golds for paralympics gb so far today. of three golds for paralympics gb so far toda . , ., ., of three golds for paralympics gb so fartoda . , ., ., , far today. yes, hannah absolutely stormed ahead of— far today. yes, hannah absolutely stormed ahead of the _ far today. yes, hannah absolutely stormed ahead of the rest - far today. yes, hannah absolutely stormed ahead of the rest of- far today. yes, hannah absolutely stormed ahead of the rest of the i stormed ahead of the rest of the field to win the gold medal, but it wasn't an easy ride physically for her. she actually slipped her hand on her wheelchair during the warm—up so she was pushing her wheel and her hand went through the spike on her chair, which left her hand split open, so she had to race with a bandaged up. she said she was very happy to win the gold but she does think her injury may have stopped herfrom breaking the think her injury may have stopped her from breaking the world record. hannah cockcroft is one of those athletes who always wants more. she did break the world record in the 100 metres last week, and she said her teammate, 100 metres last week, and she said herteammate, kare 100 metres last week, and she said her teammate, kare adenegan got the silver. 0ver

6:34 am
is hoping to defend her title and when another gold on the track later. and over in the field competition, alec davies will be going in the shot put, also the paralympic champion from rio, he holds a world champion he holds the paralympic record and he will be hoping to add another gold to his collection. —— aled davies. it is looking like another super saturday here in tokyo. looking like another super saturday here in tokyo-— looking like another super saturday here in tokyo. a stunning fightback from dan evans means he's now through to the fourth round of the us open, for the first time. he was staring at defeat, when australian alexei popyrin surged into a two—set lead, but he showed the world he's recovered now from the after—effects of having covid—19, with great strength and character, as he dug in to level the match at two sets all. both players were now exhausted, but evans summoned the energy
6:35 am
to take the match in a nail—biting fifth set, the tie break sealed as popryin double faulted on match point. evans could hardly believe it and faces the second seed daniil medvedev next. so evans marches on, unlike naomi 0saka — the women's defending champion has been knocked out, losing in one of the great upsets to the canadian teenager leylah fernandez. 0saka was serving for the match in the second set, but the 18—year—old hung in and fought back to win in three sets. 0saka was in tears afterwards, and said she will now take a break from the sport. now to the cricket, and wow — what a third test its proving to be between england and india — you just can't tell which way this one is going to swing next. and remember the series is level at 1—1. it's why this penultimate test at the oval is so crucial. and having looked in control, england lost two early wickets, yesterday, with craig 0verton and dawid malan both falling to umesh yadav. but then 0llie pope came to the rescue, guiding england to a first innings lead. he looked set for a century
6:36 am
but was bowled out for 81. england were eventually dismissed for 299, but then india looked revived with the bat, finishing the day on 43 without loss, 56 runs behind. the women's super league is back, and manchester united started with a 2—0 win over reading. kirsty hanson put united ahead just before the break, nicely slotting home after being played through. and after reading were left fuming that they were denied a goal which was deemed not to have crossed the line, they don't have goal—line technology so they were supposedly, understandably i guess, furious. salt was rubbed into their wounds when 0na batlle sealed the three points early in the second in marc skinner's first game as manager, having replaced casey stoney. the bbc are broadcasting one live game around, there will be coverage of evidence versus manchester city
6:37 am
later on bbc one from 1:15pm. britain's dina asher—smith ran a personal best in the women's 200 metres at the diamond league in brussels. she was second with 75 metres to go behind jamaican shericka jackson, but a late surge from 18—year—old sensation christine mboma blew them both away to take first, with asher—smith coming third. despite this, she said she was just happy to be running that fast again. that is great to see. elsewhere in brussels, kelly hodgkinson finished second in the women's 800 metres behind the jamaican laoya goul. and scotland take on moldova tonight, they are coming third in group f and steve clark says his players know it is a much when —— must win moment now in their campaign. it is is a much when -- must win moment now in their campaign.— is a much when -- must win moment i now in their campaign.— now in their campaign. it is 'ust about winning, i now in their campaign. it is 'ust about winning, winning i now in their campaign. it isjust about winning, winning with i now in their campaign. it isjust about winning, winning with a l now in their campaign. it isjust i about winning, winning with a good performance, that is what it is about. can't think too much about it, we have to win against moldova.
6:38 am
we know what this week was all about, we need points to keep us in contention towards the end of the group stage, so we are always fighting so come 0ctober group stage, so we are always fighting so come october or november we are in the mix for qualification. and we still have that in front of us. we need a performance and we need a win against moldova and that is what we focus on. good luck, you are finally getting your rugby back —— rugby boots back on today because after 18 months and the pandemic trust bits —— grassroots rugby players can get stuck back into scrums and malls and later we will be speaking to eddie jones, the head coach, who is down at wimbledon.— jones, the head coach, who is down at wimbledon. ., , , at wimbledon. some of the players we will see today. — at wimbledon. some of the players we will see today, for _ at wimbledon. some of the players we will see today, for them _ at wimbledon. some of the players we will see today, for them playing i will see today, for them playing rugby and being a part of that team activity, it is their mental health, the social element of it, the part it plays in the community, notjust the sport. it plays in the community, not 'ust the sort. , ., , ., , ., the sport. they have been able to train but not _

6:46 am
dry tomorrow but the cloud is big enough for a spews —— for a few spots of dribble. further south, brighter with more sunshine around. less windy than it has been as well so it will feel that little bit warmer but still the breeze coming in from the north the union cloud and coolest conditions for the likes of aberdeen to newcastle. from the south, 23 degrees also towards cardiff. as we head through into the evening hours, late sunshine for many of us and then overnight, things stay largely dry once again. quite a bit of cloud, particularly in the north and east. just clear skies towards the south and the west but reasonably mild air moving in so it won't be a cold night stop temperatures staying well into the double figures. through tomorrow, a mild start with areas of cloud drifting around, particularly through central and eastern parts of england, they could be stubborn to clear but for most of us, a day of long spells, sunshine, or wet
6:47 am
weather moving in for northern ireland and the north—west of scotland later on in the afternoon stop before it gets there, temperatures between 17 and 2a degrees on sunday. then as we head through sunday night and into monday, the weather front pushes further south though it will bring a few showers overnight but it will tend to fizzle out fairly quickly on monday so one of two showers around three essential parts of the uk to start the day. elsewhere it should be dry for much of the day with long pals —— spells of sunshine and warmer than it has been recently. we could see temperatures on monday up to 26 or 27 degrees, charlie and nina. time now for this week's addition of the film review with anna smith. hello and welcome to the film review
6:48 am
with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. my first choice is an ambitious rock opera which divided audiences at this year's cannes film festival. chattering. how did the show go? i killed them. destroyed them. murdered them. good boy. and yourgig? i...i saved them. one, two, three, four.
6:49 am
i'm still slightly reeling from annette, the long and complicated story of a famous comedian called henry, played by adam driver, and his opera singer wife, anne, played by marion cotillard. the title refers to the child they have together. but to say much more about her would be a spoiler. let's just say that things get very surreal after these two have a kid and hit a rocky patch. this is directed with bold visual flare by holy motors helmer, leos carax. and is scripted by the band, sparks, who were recently the subject of edgar wright's documentary. ron and russell mael bring a recognisably quirky humour to the score, and there are moments of intentional hilarity, as driver and cotillard sing in unusual places, including in bed. but the story structure feels haphazard, and the characters are hard to access. i also think this could've used the input of a real standup comedian, even though henry's meant to be losing his touch, his standup scenes seem unfunny and unrealistic. still, realism is not
6:50 am
the goal with this film, and there are high points — for one thing, i enjoyed the performance from simon helberg, after his similar turn as an accomplice in florence fosterjenkins. and there's a duet at the end of the film which is very powerful. this moment delivers a revelatory explanation for a lot of the madness that's preceded it, but it feels like too little too late. a lavish folly, annette is in cinemas now.

next, to marvel�*s first asian superhero — shang—chi and the legend of the ten rings. shang—chi is the son of a master criminal father and a martial artist mother, but he's keeping a low profile, working as a valet in san francisco. going by the name of shawn, he enjoys drinks and karaoke with his best buddy, katy, played by awkwafina. you have the wrong guy! does he look like he can fight? come on, bro! but a spectacular scrap on a bus reveals him to be seriously skilled in the fighting department, with daddy issues to rival luke skywalker. you 0k? katyjoins him on a trip to mako to find his sister and fight against the ten rings organisation — who will be familiar to devotees of the marvel cinematic universe. directed by destin daniel cretton, this is also the first marvel film

6:53 am
that aside, the film is fantastic to look at, from visual effects to costumes, all the departments are at the top of their game here. shang—chi is an entertaining blockbuster that should please fans of the mcu, and it's a historic moment for asian representation in mainstream movies. who are you? it's in cinemas now. i hear your sister's back. she came home herself. where was she? where did the police find her? isis she 0k? lauren? she gasps. a missing woman returns home in wildfire, an impressive debut from director, cathy brady. danika mcguigan plays kelly, who reappears in her small northern irish town a year after she vanished. hersister, lauren, played by nora—jane—noone, is relieved

but also angry with kelly for putting her through the trauma of the past year. as kelly shakes up lauren's suburban existence, the sisters tragic past is revealed. it's a tense and powerful drama exploring loss, mental health and family, with strong supporting performances from martin mccann and also kate dickey, whom we saw in last week's our ladies. but this film really belongs to its two female leads who are terrific and very believable as siblings. wildfire is an intense and moving watch that's made all the more poignant knowing that star nika mcguigan sadly passed away last year. it's in cinemas now. i could never make up this plot. if i did, somebody would say, "this is preposterous, "this would not happen." i was so overwhelmed by this story. it's unbelievable. onto a documentary about a literary scandal — misha and the wolves. if you haven't heard of misha defonseca, don't
6:55 am
look her up before watching, because this documentary is the cinematic equivalent of a real page turner. misha is a holocaust survivor. she's here to tell her astonishing story. you could have heard a pin drop. when she was only seven years old, she walked alone through nazi occupied countries, across thousands of miles, in search of her deported parents. in 1997, defonseca published her memoirs of surviving the holocaust as a child, partly by befriending a pack of wolves. the book was a huge success, but her publisher, jane daniel, had nagging doubts about the veracity of the tail, especially after misha turned down the chance to appear on oprah. after the pairfell out, daniel hired an investigators to dig deeper, and the results make for shocking viewing. but there are plenty of colourful talking heads, most of whom are female, which strikes me as a rare. she's trying to hide something. i would've loved to have heard more from the wolf breeders, who make a fascinating contribution,
6:56 am
although that detective work from a real holocaust survivor is at the heart of this film that's as unsettling as it is sensational. he speaks french. how can this possibly be? she's both a victim and a villain in this story. it's in cinemas now. this is how it works, you give me 20% of the takings at the door, that's the door, the cloak room and the bar. i say who comes in, i say who goes out. my word is final. it's a deal. next stop, essex criminals and the fifth and the rise of the foot soldier series. rise of the foot soldier: origins stars terry stone as tony tucker, the real—life drug dealer who was killed in 1995.
6:57 am
this traces his move from army vet to nightclub doorman, where he teams up with notorious heavy, bernard o'mahoney who's played by series newcomer, vinniejones. tony is introduced as a bighearted geezer who is always prepared to drop his kebab in order to break up a fight. his descent into crazed criminal behaviour all seems a bit sudden. what starts off like a recruitment ad for the army moves into a tawdry nightclub thriller and borderline spoof of british crime movies. i'll find you! unprovoked violence comes thick and fast, and i feel like they might be going for some kind of record for use of the c word. it's disturbing in parts, but often so over—the—top, you have to laugh. there's some criminal use of good music, like new order, and some music that is just criminal in itself. die—hard foot soldier fans may wish to know that this is in cinemas now. if you're curious about it for comedy value, then you might want to wait for it to come to the small screen. i've always done things backwards. i kissed you. and then i met you. what the...? oh, my god! i thought you were someone else!
6:58 am
congratulations on your upcoming wedding. - i don't know how upcoming it is, he won't set a date. we'll talk about it later. later. teddy, what is it. with you and later? hot on the heels of the brilliant palm springs comes another comedy inspired by the classic groundhog day. the australian film long story short stars rafe spall as teddy, a serial procrastinator who marries leanne, the woman of his dreams, played by zahra newman. after his wedding day, teddy wakes up and it's one year later. leanne is pregnant and teddy is seriously confused, especially when he continues jumping into his own future one year at a time on his wedding anniversary. josh lawson's comedy is very open about its debt to groundhog day, which is referred to several times, and this also has a strong whiff of it's a wonderful life. this is about lesson learning, and while its messages are driven
6:59 am
home simply and invariably repetitively, the film benefits from endearing characters and spall�*s gift for sarcastic asides. long story short might not be a classic, but it's a pleasant way to pass the time. it's on sky cinema and the streaming service now. thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith, and for watching the show from our home studios for the past year and a half. mark will be back from his break next week, when the show will be coming from the bbc studio. hugger. hold on, everybody! ah! we make a good team!

7:02 am
more than 10 million 12— to is—year—olds there have had a covid vaccine. other countries are too, including canada, brazil, france, the netherlands, italy — but not the uk. regulators approved vaccines as safe and effective for this age group in the summer, but thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation's job is to decide if it is necessary. its answer — not for every i2—is —year—olds. for the healthy children, the risk—benefit balance is really very uncertain and very tight. normally what we do when we recommend vaccination for children is we see a very clear benefit, that clearly outweighs any possible risk. and in the absence of that clear blue water if you like between those two, we prefer to advise that healthy children should not for the moment he immunised. covid doesn't tend to make children very sick, so the benefits of vaccinating them have to be weighed up against the risks — like myocarditis,
7:03 am
inflammation of the heart. it is a very rare complication from pfizer and moderna vaccines, and affects young people more. they tend to recover quickly, but thejcvi wants to know more about the longer term effects. but some of the 3 million 12— to is—year—olds across the uk will be invited for a vaccine. 150,000 were already eligible because they have conditions including down syndrome or any problems. same too for another 111i,000 teenagers because they live with someone who is immunosuppressed. and now that has been extended to another 200,000 children with a wider range of conditions like heart problems, epilepsy or poorly controlled asthma. so as schools go back, teenagers who are most likely to be severely affected by coronavirus will be able to get a vaccine. the experts have made this call purely on the health of children, not other factors like a missing
7:04 am
time in education. the next step, the chief medical officers in england, scotland, wales and northern ireland have been asked to weigh up those other factors. which means this decision could change one way or another in the next week or so. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us now. helen, we're expecting a decision from the uk's four chief medical —— government scientists recommend and government ministers then make the decisions. usually they correspond but the suggestion out is it may bea be a diversion? it has been easy for ministers so — be a diversion? it has been easy for ministers so far— be a diversion? it has been easy for ministers so far during _ be a diversion? it has been easy for ministers so far during the - ministers so far during the vaccination programme, as you set at each stagejcvi has made a clear recommendation and then ministers have been able to go ahead and implement. this is the first time we have seen something where there is this sense of it being so finely
7:05 am
balanced. we know ministers have previously been suggested that they are quite keen to vaccinate teenagers, earlierthis are quite keen to vaccinate teenagers, earlier this week the prime minister's official spokesman told journalist plans have been made so that if the jcvi told journalist plans have been made so that if thejcvi said let's go ahead, they could roll it out to teenagers. we know the preparations were being made there, of course now the recommendation has not come through, as you said the chief medical officers have been asked to take a broader look at this. the sources at the department of health do suggest that it is not off the table, and certainly in westminster i think the expectation is that those chief medical officers will all work together so it is unlikely we will see a different approach to different parts of the country. helen, thank you very much. some gp surgeries in england and wales have begun cancelling appointments for the winter flu jab, after delays to the delivery of doses of the vaccine. a shortage of lorry drivers is believed to be behind the problem. doctors have warned it will have a serious impact on workloads and patients. our correspondent helena
7:06 am
wilkinson has this report. this year's flu campaign is set to be the largest in history. more than 35 million people in the uk will be offered the jab on the nhs. news of a delay to some flu vaccine delivery ——news of a delay to some flu vaccine deliveries is causing concern, and cancellations. seqirus, which supplies vaccines to gp practices and pharmacies in england and wales have told their customers supply would be disrupted due to unforeseen road freight challenges. it is believed to be because of a shortage of lorry drivers. the company warned of a delay of up to two weeks. it is advising gps not to book patients in until they have confirmation of delivery. a two—week delay has a massive impact on our flu vaccine programme, because the clinics are already set up, many surgeries already have a lot of vulnerable patients booked in, we like to get going early on in september,
7:07 am
ready for the winter. so this is really, really worrying. doctors are already dealing with a chronic shortage of blood test tubes. supply chain issues have been blamed for that. the british medical association said delays to flu vaccine deliveries caused a huge increase in staff's already unsustainable workloads, adding that it created unneeded anxiety for patients. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the taliban say they're making advances in the panjshir valley, where there's been fierce fighting in the only remaining part of afghanistan not under the group's control. the area, north of the capital kabul, is one of the country's smallest provinces and battles there are reported to have left hundreds dead. the leaders of resistance forces have denied the taliban's claims. president biden has praised people in louisiana and mississippi
7:08 am
for their response to hurricane ida last sunday. there's been anger at the delays in restoring power, and mr biden promised that infrastructure would be "built back better" to withstand future storms as nada tawfik reports. one week and a storm that brought america to its knees. look at that tornado! from new orleans to new york, it was a dramatic beating. record rainfall, life—threatening floods, destructive winds and tornadoes usually only seen in the midwest tore through communities with no mercy. in some places it was unprecedented, and sparked fear about the ferocity and frequency of future weather. oh, my god! the river is flooding! part of this newjersey town was abandoned after the nearby river crested and left cars and homes under 10 feet of water. four people died and about 600 were left homeless. gloria jett lost everything, but was lucky to escape with her life. she can't swim and had to be rescued by neighbours

as the water rose inside her home. i started pounding. for somebody to come and help me so i won't die. i felt like i was dying. down these streets, peoples' belongings and memories are laid out for garbage pick—up. the roldan family lost three cars and everything in their basement. but already the insurance company has told them they will not cover much of the damage. it's the first time that it happened, but if we stay in the house, what if it happens again? like, does it really pay to stay in this area any more? president biden has approved an emergency declaration for new york and newjersey. today, he traveled to meet victims in louisiana, where ida first made landfall as a category 1! hurricane. after surveying the damage, he highlighted the threat from climate change. things have changed so drastically in terms of the environment. we've already crossed certain thresholds, we cannot build back a road, a highway,
7:10 am
a bridge to what it was before. you've got to build back to what it is now, what's needed now. the cost to life, property and infrastructure has been staggering. still, climate change remains a divisive political issue. and so, over the years, america has ignored warnings and some would say this is the result. nada tawfik, bbc news, newjersey. new evidence has emerged that people have put on weight during the pandemic. nhs data shows that people who signed up for a weight loss programme were on average more than five pounds heavier than three years before covid struck. there are concerns this could lead to an increase in the number of people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. blackpool�*s famous illuminations are lighting up the seaside town again, after a star—studded switch—on last night. strictly come dancing's shirley ballas pulled the lever at the iconic tower ballroom.
7:11 am
and the lights come on... there you go. the lights will stay on untiljanuary again this year. it's hoped the extra two months will bring more tourists to the area and give a boost to businesses. if we hold for this shot it is rather dramatic. helping them in a difficult time. last year i packed the car ready to take the kids to blackpool to see the lights, and looked online and we had missed them by a week. check the dates before you depart! that had missed them by a week. check the dates before you depart!— dates before you depart! that is bad ”lannin. dates before you depart! that is bad planning. 7:11am. _ more than 35 million people in the uk are expected to be offered a flu jab this winter — but a delay in the supply of doses from one of the biggest manufacturers is causing concern about the rollout. it's been caused a shortage of lorry drivers — let's find out what impact it could have on gps. we're joined by dr david wrigley, who is vice—chair of the british medical association. i guess there are two elements to

7:18 am
and some spells of sunshine. this area of high pressure is nudging our way and this will allow winds to come in from a south—easterly direction. —— not only warmer but clearer. there is whether heading into the north—west later on tomorrow. for many places, starting the day on a dry note. some sunshine for parts of southern and western england, wales, northern ireland. there will be more cloud sticking around for parts of eastern england, eastern scotland, too. a few spots of drizzle coming out of the cloud at times, particularly where you have the breeze off the north sea but not as breezy for the likes of east anglia and the south—east. we may see the cloud breaking around the murray firth so some sunshine here but for aberdeen, 1a degrees today. contrast that with cardiff in the sunshine, up to about 23 celsius. this evening, late sunshine for many, especially for southern parts of england and wales and more cloud lasting for parts of
7:19 am
north—east england and scotland as well. the odd spot of drizzle coming out of that. reasonably mild with temperatures overnight holding about 10- 15 temperatures overnight holding about 10— 15 degrees. that is how we start tomorrow morning, mild and bright with a largely dry day with sunshine and a few areas of cloud stubborn to clear for the likes of east anglia, for example. more sunshine for the east of england and eastern scotland so a bit warmer here. later in the day there will be some rain arriving for northern ireland and northern and western scotland, too. but ahead of that, highs of up to 2b and western scotland, too. but ahead of that, highs of up to 2a or 25 degrees. as we move to sunday night and into monday. the frontal system smooth —— moves south. perhaps one or two showers through the central slice of britain but either side of that looking drive from the word go. sunny skies developing through the day on monday and it will be warming up day on monday and it will be warming up so you will notice temperatures particularly in the south getting up to 26 and possibly 27 degrees so it

will look like we have higher temperatures in september then we had through the whole of august. beautiful. the map is making a welcome change after the past few weeks, sarah, thank you. police patrolling one of the longest coastlines in the uk have been gifted a jetski to help them tackle antiocial behaviour on the water. the watercraft donated to essex police's marine unit is already making a difference, according to officers, giving them better and faster access to hard—to—reach areas. let's get more on this now from brightlingsea's harbour master james thomas. very good morning to you, james. i wonder if you could give us a sense of what you have witnessed or had reported to you by way of antisocial behaviour. ~ ., ~' behaviour. well, working with the olice, we behaviour. well, working with the police. we carry — behaviour. well, working with the police, we carry out _ behaviour. well, working with the police, we carry out patrols - behaviour. well, working with the police, we carry out patrols in - behaviour. well, working with the police, we carry out patrols in the j police, we carry out patrols in the area as well. obviouslyjetskis are capable of enormous speed but it is not necessary that the speed that is
7:21 am
the worst thing, it is when they are bouncing in and out of the beaches, mixing in with the swimmers and bathers, small paddle boards or other small little rama —— rubber dinghy. hitting abaydi, it can cause serious injury or worse so these are the things that we are most feared of and that is what we are mainly looking for. of course, speeding jetskis are dangerous as well because many of the people using the jetskis aren't natural mariners and they don't have, not all of them but they don't have, not all of them but the majority of them don't have a huge understanding of the rules of the road, as it were. which isn't too bad if you're paddleboard because you will probably get away with it but if you are going at 75 miles an hourand with it but if you are going at 75 miles an hour and you don't know

7:24 am
required they can get to them and do that. i think it is a reasonable benefit but it is one of the tools in the toolbox of dealing with it. simply we're not going to prosecute our way out of this. it is going to be a bit strategic than that. i our way out of this. it is going to be a bit strategic than that. i dare sa as be a bit strategic than that. i dare say as well— be a bit strategic than that. i dare say as well given _ be a bit strategic than that. i dare say as well given so _ be a bit strategic than that. i dare say as well given so many - be a bit strategic than that. i dare say as well given so many more i say as well given so many more people will be staying at home, because of the lack of travel, you have had a probably a busy time, maybe with some people not used to being around the water.— being around the water. yeah. they are more people — being around the water. yeah. they are more people staying _ being around the water. yeah. they are more people staying within - being around the water. yeah. they are more people staying within the | are more people staying within the uk. possibly the worst time i had with jetskis was last year when everybody was working from home or staying at home or in lockdown. but they are all able to get out and of course the waterway was filled with all the jet ski people that had been furloughed and it was horrendous and

england, wales and scotland rugby union is in the national lottery looking into how much aside from the game here at grassroots level, rugby mentor people. there was a few percentages about which we have a few volunteers here. i can tell you that 86% of people said that rugby, grassroots rugby benefited their mental health. if we go to my next two people, 27% of people said it help them feel less isolated. and finally, 51% of people said that the thing they miss most about rugby wasn't necessarily the game, but actually the camaraderie and their friends. thank you to my willing volunteers, they will be playing a little more. let's talk as other people who are involved and delighted to be backing on grass. first, what is the thing you are most looking forward to getting back out there? i most looking forward to getting back out there? ~ , most looking forward to getting back out there? ,, , ., ., most looking forward to getting back out there? ,, , ., , out there? i think it is good to be with our out there? i think it is good to be with your teammates _ out there? i think it is good to be with your teammates and - out there? i think it is good to be with your teammates and work i out there? i think it is good to be | with your teammates and work as out there? i think it is good to be i with your teammates and work as a team, and bring back friends that were lost in march, i think it is really good. were lost in march, i think it is really good-— were lost in march, i think it is reall aood. �* , ., , really good. and 'ust tell me a bit about, really good. and 'ust tell me a bit about. what — really good. and 'ust tell me a bit about, what is _ really good. and just tell me a bit about, what is your _ really good. and just tell me a bit

7:36 am
but switching sport has worked and means she got hold of the medal she always wanted. and there was another gold in the para—canoe, with laura sugar becoming kl—3 champion. she has also made a sport switch, from athletics, when she was spotted by a talent id process in 2018. three years later, she won gold, with a paralympic—best time. capping off a brilliant games for the british para—canoe team — putting them top of the sport's medal table. britain's dan evans could hardly believe it, but a stunning fightback means he's now through to the fourth round of the us open for the first time. he was staring at defeat when australian alexei popyrin surged into a 2 set lead, but he showed the world he's recovered now from the after—effects of having covid—19 with great strength and character, as he dug in to level the match at 2
7:37 am
sets all. both players were now exhausted, but evans summoned the energy to take the match, in a nail—biting 5th set tie—break sealed as popryin double faulted on match point. evans faces the 2nd seed daniil medvedev next. so evans marches on, unlike naomi osaka — the women's defending champion, who's been knocked out, losing in one of the great upsets to the canadian teenager, leylah fernandez. osaka was in tears afterwards and said she will now take a break from the sport. you just can't call which way the 3rd test between england and india is going to go — it's so crucial, sorry, the fourth test. it is so crucial with the series level at 1—1 and with only one more match after this one. having looked in control
7:38 am
on day two at the oval, england lost two early wickets yesterday, with craig 0verton and dawid malan both falling to umesh yadav. but then ollie pope came to the rescue, guiding england to a first innings lead. he looked set for a century but was bowled out for 81. england were eventually dismissed for 290, but despite the celebrations around pope, india finished the day on 43 without loss, so only 56 runs behind. they've crept back into it. revenge is in the air in leeds tonight, not warrington with that home crowd, marching on. ——josh warrington. fans are counting down the hours, the fight�*s promoter eddie hearnjoins us now. what has happened before and what is happening tonight? josh what has happened before and what is happening tonight?— happening tonight? josh warrington was the number _ happening tonight? josh warrington was the number one _ happening tonight? josh warrington was the number one featherweight l happening tonight? josh warrington l was the number one featherweight in the world, he was world champion, covid struck and he was out of the sport for 15 months, went back and was supposed to be having a warm—up fight against a mexican called

live from 9.30 tonight. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. for us this morning. good morning. if you are waking up this morning and looking out the window you might see seems a bit like this. for some of us, blue sky and sunshine from the word go. this is the picture in east sussex. in other areas we have got more cloud and mist and fog patches. it will be and mist and fog patches. it will be a largely dry day today with spells of sunshine on offer and establishes are going to be on the up. through the course of the weekend and into the course of the weekend and into the cause of next week, too. still have high pressure around but edging off to the east and that will allow the winds to come in from more of a south—easterly direction. bringing some slightly clearer and warmer weather our way. we have got a weather our way. we have got a weather front pushing into the south—west so a bit of rain but for today, most places are looking dry. across parts of north —— north england in eastern scotland, the cloud just thick enough. the breeze coming in of the north sea. further
7:46 am
south, spells of sunshine on offer with quite long spells of sunshine and lighter winds especially for east anglia and the south—east. we will see the sunshine breaking through around the murray first, cumbria as well. it is in general further south that we will see the highest temperatures, 43 degrees for cardiff and typically the mid—teens around the east coast of scotland and north—east england. through this evening and overnight, most places are staying dry once again, perhaps the odd spot of drizzle in the east. patchy areas of cloud and clear skies in the south but it will be —— it won't be a cold night so milder air. two bridges to start the morning 12—15. tomorrow's weather another largely dry day for much of the day. have got some areas of cloud drifting around from central and eastern england. sunnis also most and later in the afternoon is when the rain pushes into northern ireland. —— 's sunny skies. attach warmerfor the likes of
7:47 am
ireland. —— 's sunny skies. attach warmer for the likes of newcastle. —— a touch warmer. we still have the weather front that just slips its way further south, moving on into the one—day morning. the way well start monday with the odd shower around parts of northern england, north wales. either side of that, sunny spells from the word go on monday. as we head through the day, the showers fade away and lots of sunshine on offer with light winds and it is going to feel quite a bit warmer than it has done recently, particularly in the south. temperatures as high as about 26 or even 27 degrees for southern england and even 20 or 21 for scotland and northern ireland. the temperatures continue to rise to a spell of warm, summery weather on the cards before things turn a bit cooler and more unsettled towards the end of the week. .. . unsettled towards the end of the week. ,,. ., ., ~ unsettled towards the end of the week. ., ., ,, , ., now time for newswatch. hello, and welcome to newswatch
7:48 am
with me, samira ahmed. coming up, journalists in afghanistan have been working in difficult circumstances, but has the bbc done enough to help its former staff leave the country? and what's happened to local news bulletins during breakfast over the summer? welcome to newswatch. unlike the traditional august news lull, the past month has seen journalists confronted with major international crises as us forces pulled out of afghanistan and the taliban quickly took control of the country. it's led to some powerful and emotional broadcasting. foreign nationals and some afghans are being evacuated. but huge crowds gathered after rumours even those without visas could travel. gunfire. outside the airport,
7:49 am
even more chaos. taliban members firing in the air to assert their authority, trying to keep control. it's now the 31st of august in afghanistan, the day that presidentjoe biden said the american military mission, the 20—year engagement by us—led nato forces, would formally end, and this is what you are hearing now. gunfire in the background the eruption of celebrity gunfire. by taliban supporters in the city of kabul. newswatch viewers have been paying tribute to the work of bbc staff making reports such as those, with brian price awarding top marks to secunder kermani for his broadcasts from afghanistan. and in the view of andrew south:
7:50 am
some viewers have expressed concern, though, for the safety of those staff, and also that of afghan journalists who worked at the bbc in the past. a group of the latter are still hiding from the taliban in kabul, and they have accused the corporation and the uk government of ignoring their cries for help. in response, the bbc stresses it is making every possible effort to get both current and former staff out of the country, but that it can only work within the permitted government frameworks. a bbc spokesperson said:
7:51 am
that statement didn't satisfy this caller to our phone line. i believe the corporation's official response is ethically, let's say, highly questionable and troubling, and so i am leaving this message in support of the calls for help by ex—bbc journalists and presenters. the bbc does have responsibility for its ex—employees
7:52 am
in this situation. now, occupying a lot of airtime over the summer was geronimo, the alpaca who twice tested positive for bovine tuberculosis and was ordered to be euthanised to stop the spread of the disease. for some, this was a classic silly season story, hyped up to fill sparse running orders. for others, it was a specific legal injustice and a cruel infringement of animal rights. on tuesday, the row over geronimo's fate was resolved once and for all. i want to bring you some breaking news just into the bbc here that geronimo the alpaca has been killed. now, that news comes after a court—ordered destruction warrant was carried out following the animal twice testing positive for bovine tuberculosis. some viewers objected to the tone used there and in the headlines online, with sally lester asking:
7:53 am
other viewers were concerned that some of the footage shown on the news at six, and on the website, was unnecessarily upsetting. kirsten french wondered: but when almost 30,000 cattle are put down after contracting disease, was one alpaca's death worthy of a breaking news event on the bbc news and app? andrew thought not: now, what's the most popular news bulletin on uk television?
7:54 am
you may be surprised to learn that it's the early evening regional news on bbc one, but recent cuts made to the bbc�*s local and regional budgets have led some to question the corporation's commitment to those services. take the local news, traffic and weather summaries shown twice an hour during breakfast untiljuly, when they disappeared. hundreds of viewers complained to the bbc and on social media and two of them join me now, vivian barth from manchester and martin burgess—moon from plymouth. thank you. i want to ask when both of you noticed the first time that the regional news wasn't on. vivian first. through the coverage of the olympics, which didn't worry me particularly because that was something different and it was important, but when it didn't come back on the week following the coverage of the olympics, and then not for the week after,
7:55 am
that's when i contacted you. what about for you, martin, when did it become a concern for you? the same, really. i noticed that there was no local bulletin during the olympics coverage and then as soon as the normal bbc breakfast came back, i noticed pretty much from day one, at six o'clock, i watched as per normal and when the half—hour came i thought, that's a bit odd, but i thought there might have been a technical issue and of course, there was no second bulletin and i thought, this is odd that it's not come back after the olympics. can i ask what it is about those regional summaries in the mornings that is so important, that you missed? yes, well, it's everything, really. it's the local news, local views, events the travel in particular because i commute,
7:56 am
so i'm going to work every morning and i want to know what the traffic's going to be like. i know there are other ways you can access local news but when you enjoy watching bbc breakfast every morning and the local news is an important part of that, every half— hour, when it's not there, you really notice it's not there. so, we did ask bbc management for an interview on why it's been off for so long and this is the statement we've got because no—one was available for interview. this is a statement from bbc england who made the decision about breakfast: what do you both think
7:57 am
of the reasons given for that statement? martin first. it's nice to know that now but, at the time, when itjust wasn't there, it was like it had disappeared. it was just strange that there was no mention of it, it was almost like it wasn't important and i know that when i switched over to the other side, they are still doing local news bulletins at breakfast and in the evening as well, but not wanting to be interested in winning a caravan or anything, i don't really want to watch the other side. well, i did suspect, as in so many cases, it was to save money, but since they assure us it's not that — i accept their assurance and hope they will be able to bring it back as soon as possible. just so you know, that was the bbc�*s position injuly. they've now told us the regional morning bulletins are coming next week but i wonder if you both think the bbc
7:58 am
undervalues local news perhaps, vivian? yes, i definitely think they undervalue it. the evening programme is usually very good, and gives quite a wide coverage but apart from that, we don't get an awful lot of news. the lunchtime one is quite often shortened a bit. if there is something more important nationally, then you perhaps only get about ten minutes at lunchtime. martin, what are your thoughts on how far the bbc values and appreciates the importance of regional tv news? well, i hope the bbc values local and regional news. we've got an excellent nightly bulletin at spotlight here in a here in the south—west, and they do an
7:59 am
amazing job, and recently with what's been going on, the shootings, they've been incredible, and locally on the radio as well, on bbc radio devon, they've been amazing. it would be a shame if there were more cut backs and we lost so much more of that important local input because it is important to know what's going on locally. i know there's so much going on nationally and internationally but locally, it's right on your own doorstep and everybody needs to know what's going on on their own doorstep and i really hope those bulletins do come back. and that there is more investment in local news, because it is so important. martin burgess—moon and vivian bath, thank you so much. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on bbc news and current affairs or even appear on the programme, do email newswatch. you can find us on twitter at @newswatchbbc, you can call us on 0370 010 6676 and do have a look at previous discussions on our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch.
8:00 am
that's all from us. we'll be back with your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. bye bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. our headlines today: a mass covid vaccine rollout for 12— 15—year—olds could still go ahead despite a decision by the government's scientific advisors not to support it. gps are forced to delay flu jabs because of a shortage of hgv drivers which has disrupted supplies. it was an image that shocked the world — desperate parents handing their baby over to american troops in afghanistan. but what happened next? we'll be talking to the british medic called in to help. reigning supreme for a third paralympics running — hannah cockcroft dominates on the track to win her seventh gold medal, in the t34 800 metres —
8:01 am
the first of three golds already today for the british team in tokyo. good morning. it's been a bit cool and cloudy for some of us recently but you will be pleased to hear there's a bit more sunshine in the forecast and temperatures will be on the up over the next few days. some rain in the forecast tomorrow for the north, i'll have the details throughout the morning's programme. it's saturday, lith of september. our top story: the uk's four chief medical officers are expected to decide within days whether to recommend vaccinating healthy children against coronavirus. yesterday, thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, which advises the government, decided against recommending the jabs for 12— to 15—year—olds, saying the health benefits were marginal. it's believed the government think there's a strong case for going ahead. here's our health correspondent catherine burns. america has been doing it since may.
8:02 am
more than 10 million 12— to 15—year—olds there have had a covid vaccine. other countries are, too, including canada, brazil, france, the netherlands, italy — but not the uk. regulators approved vaccines as safe and effective for this age group in the summer, but thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation's job is to decide if it's necessary. its answer — not for every 12—15—year—old. for the healthy children, the risk—benefit balance is really very uncertain and very tight. normally what we do when we recommend vaccination for children is we see a very clear benefit that clearly outweighs any possible risk. and in the absence of that clear blue water, if you like, between those two, we prefer to advise that healthy children should not for the moment he immunised. covid doesn't tend to make children very sick, so the benefits of vaccinating them have to be weighed up against the risks — like myocarditis,
8:03 am
inflammation of the heart. it is a very rare complication from pfizer and moderna vaccines, and affects young people more. they tend to recover quickly, but thejcvi wants to know more about the longer term effects. but some of the 3 million 12— to 15—year—olds across the uk will be invited for a vaccine. 150,000 were already eligible because they have conditions including down's syndrome or immune problems. same, too, for another 111i,000 teenagers because they live with someone who is immunosuppressed. and now that has been extended to another 200,000 children with a wider range of conditions like heart problems, epilepsy or poorly controlled asthma. so as schools go back, teenagers who are most likely to be severely affected by coronavirus will be able to get a vaccine. the experts have made this call purely on the health of children,
8:04 am
not other factors like missing time in education. the next step, the chief medical officers in england, scotland, wales and northern ireland have been asked to weigh up those other factors, which means this decision could change one way or another in the next week or so. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us now. in this paper this morning are reporting on the fact the government could well go against decisions of the van yes because we have set over again during _ yes because we have set over again during the _ yes because we have set over again during the pandemic advisors advise, ministers _ during the pandemic advisors advise, ministers decide. and the government have been— ministers decide. and the government have been pretty keen and suggested publicly— have been pretty keen and suggested publicly they are pretty keen to see children— publicly they are pretty keen to see children immunised, we know the preparations have already started to enable _

8:06 am
after delays to the delivery of doses of the vaccine. a shortage of lorry drivers is believed to be behind the problem. doctors have warned it will have a serious impact on workloads and patients. our correspondent helena wilkinson has this report. this year's flu campaign is set to be the largest in history. more than 35 million people in the uk will be offered the jab on the nhs. news of a delay to some flu vaccine deliveries is causing concern and cancellations. seqirus, which supplies vaccines to gp practices and pharmacies in england and wales, have told their customers supply would be disrupted due to unforeseen road freight challenges. it is believed to be because of a shortage of lorry drivers. the company warned of a delay of up to two weeks. it's advising gps not to book patients in until they have confirmation of delivery. a two—week delay has a massive impact on our flu vaccine
8:07 am
programme because the clinics are already set up, many surgeries already have a lot of vulnerable patients booked in, we like to get going early on in september, ready for the winter. so this is really, really worrying. doctors are already dealing with a chronic shortage of blood test tubes. supply chain issues have been blamed for that. the british medical association said delays to flu vaccine deliveries caused a huge increase in staff's already unsustainable workloads, adding that it created unneeded anxiety for patients. helena wilkinson, bbc news. president biden has been visiting some of the areas of louisiana worst hit by hurricane ida last sunday. he praised the states' response, though he noted the frustration at the delay in restoring power. mr biden promised that the infrastructure would be "built back better" to withstand future storms.

new evidence has emerged that people have put on weight during the pandemic. nhs data shows that people who signed up for a weight loss programme were, on average, more than five pounds heavier than three years before covid struck. there are concerns this could lead to an increase in the number of people at risk of developing type—2 diabetes. blackpool�*s famous illuminations are lighting up the seaside town again, after a star—studded switch—on last night. strictly come dancing's shirley ballas pulled the [ever at the iconic tower ballroom. the lights will stay on untiljanuary again this year. it's hoped the extra two months will bring more tourists to the area and give a boost to businesses. i was iwasa i was a brilliant show, isn't it? —— always a brilliant show.

let's get more on our main story now — the decision by the uk's vaccine advisory body not to recommend vaccinating all 12— to 15—year—olds. we're joined now by professor anthony harnden, the deputy chair of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. professor, thank you for your time this morning. i wonder if it would be helpful, first of all, if you could outline, i know you have gone into enormous detail on this very important decision over 12 to 15—year—olds, could you outline for people who are listening, interested parties, young people, parents, what it is that's made you come to the decision you have?— it is that's made you come to the decision you have? first, we have come to a — decision you have? first, we have come to a decision _ decision you have? first, we have come to a decision to _ decision you have? first, we have come to a decision to advise - come to a decision to advise vaccination, as you set in your clip of an— vaccination, as you set in your clip of an extra — vaccination, as you set in your clip of an extra 200,000 children between the ages— of an extra 200,000 children between the ages of— of an extra 200,000 children between the ages of 12 and 15 with underlying health conditions. for well children, we felt there was a marginal— well children, we felt there was a marginal benefit in terms of vaccination but it wasn't big enough from a _ vaccination but it wasn't big enough from a health perspective. so to -ive from a health perspective. so to give you — from a health perspective. so to give you some figures, for example,

the government has gone along with that recommendation. they said, you have recommended it, we are going to do it. the understanding at this stage is that that is still being thought about. we haven't got a definitive that the government will put into place what you have recommended. now, it may be that this is the first time that changes. how do you calibrate that, given the work you have done?— work you have done? well, i think it's really important _ work you have done? well, i think it's really important to _ work you have done? well, i think it's really important to realise - it's really important to realise that _ it's really important to realise that the — it's really important to realise that the decisions we have made have been built— that the decisions we have made have been built on the government have listened _ been built on the government have listened to— been built on the government have listened to them and accepted them. -- the _ listened to them and accepted them. —— the decisions have been bold. and they have _ —— the decisions have been bold. and they have been cracked all the way through _ they have been cracked all the way through. but the previous decisions have been— through. but the previous decisions have been fairly clear—cut to us, this decision is not clear—cut, there — this decision is not clear—cut, there is— this decision is not clear—cut, there is equipoise here. —— michael they have _ there is equipoise here. —— michael they have been correct all the way through _ they have been correct all the way through i— they have been correct all the way through. i think it's correct for the government to seek advice for

8:18 am
cool conditions but things will be turning a little warmer and brighter, particularly in the south. we have got some bits and folk around first thing this morning, that will gradually lift over the next few hours and we are looking at a dry day most places. spells of sunshine around but most of us will keep a little cloud around. still high pressure is driving our weather but its shifting position a little bit, so it moves a bit towards the east, and with winds rotating around that, they will start to come from more of a south—easterly direction, bringing notjust slightly more of a south—easterly direction, bringing not just slightly warmer but also some slightly clearer weather, especially in the south where it has been quite cloudy recently. we will still hold on to a fair amount of cloud for parts of eastern england and eastern scotland today, spots of drizzle for the north—east i think at times, best of the summer trying to be found south and west, a sunny afternoon to come across much of southern england, wales, sunny spell for northern ireland. and winds are lighter than recent days. they're coming off the north sea for the likes of newcastle
8:19 am
and aberdeen, temperatures 14 or 15, but in the sunshine for the south, cardiff about 23 later this afternoon. later in the evening, quite a bit of late sunshine for most of us, still a bit gloomy around north—east coast. overnight, variable amounts of cloud, the odd spot of drizzle in the north—east but mostly clear and dry for the old mr patch developing but not particularly cold because of the milder air, temperatures 11—15. tomorrow starting not too bad, some cloud for parts of east anglia and southern england, but sunnier skies for the north—east of england and southern scotland, warmer here, the breeze not coming off the north sea on sunday, so about 20 or so for newcastle, 25 in cardiff and london. but you will notice the blue. this rain moving in across northern ireland in western scotland later in the afternoon. so that's a weather front which pushes its way south of night and into monday, bringing one or two showers into early monday
8:20 am
morning, particularly through parts of northern england and wales at times as well. those showers fade away quite quickly so we are looking at a predominantly dry day again into monday, light winds and it will feel quite warm in that sunshine. in fact, in the south we are likely to see 26 or 27 on monday, so certainly a warm few days i had to start the working week before things turn a bit more autumnal later in the week. in a tense week of final evacuations from afghanistan, scenes of desperation have been viewed across the world. one moment which went viral showed a mother handing her baby over a barbed wire wall and into a us marine's arms. the baby was taken to hospital and treated by a british medical team. our reporterjohn maguire has the story. it was one of the most striking images of the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. such was the desperation of her family, from afghanistan. such was the desperation of herfamily, a baby girl was held high above their heads
8:21 am
as a us marine grabbed her arm and hoisted her over barbed wire and into the arms of a waiting colleague. they were part of what british forces described as a sea of humanity, people crashed against the walls of kabul airport, often with little regard for personal safety, their only thought to escape the returning taliban.— their only thought to escape the returning taliban. when women and children are — returning taliban. when women and children are being _ returning taliban. when women and children are being crushed - returning taliban. when women and children are being crushed and, - returning taliban. when women and | children are being crushed and, yes, dying in some cases in your arms, your agency to deal with the situation and change it is very different than when you're on combat operations. there was emotions all the way through the operations. you can't see a young child, a baby, a woman, crushed to death in front of you and then you having to deal with the aftermath of that. you can't see any of that without being emotional. have there been tea's? {lit any of that without being emotional. have there been tea's?_ have there been tea's? of course there have _

8:23 am
even longer as they adapt to new lives in foreign lands far away from their home. we're joined by lieutenant colonel ben caesar, who was the orthopaedics consultant on shift while a number of children who were separated from their parents were being held at the medical facility. he helped look after the baby who was handed over the fence. good morning, extremely emotive pictures we so there of that baby being handed over. how was she when she came to you?— she came to you? good morning. the little airl she came to you? good morning. the little girl was — she came to you? good morning. the little girl was actually _ she came to you? good morning. the little girl was actually in _ she came to you? good morning. the little girl was actually in pretty - little girl was actually in pretty good health when she came to see us, obviously a little distressed from being separated from her family and being separated from her family and being handed over to strangers, but, yes, she was in relatively good health compared to a number of the others that we ended up looking after in the facility. and others that we ended up looking after in the facility.— others that we ended up looking

8:26 am
toddling, running around, some were babes in arms like her. when the picture from the media appeared, it was quite clearly her as she had a distinctive shaved patch on the back of her head and we immediately recognised her as the child within the viral picture that was being passed around on social media and on the american press. i passed around on social media and on the american press.— the american press. i know you guys alwa s 'ust the american press. i know you guys always just do _ the american press. i know you guys alwaysiust do a _ the american press. i know you guys alwaysjust do a job. _ the american press. i know you guys alwaysjust do a job. i _ the american press. i know you guys alwaysjust do a job. ijust _ the american press. i know you guys alwaysjust do a job. i just wonder i always just do a job. ijust wonder whether. — always just do a job. ijust wonder whether, did you have any contact with the _ whether, did you have any contact with the american troops who had been _ with the american troops who had been involved? i mean, someone took a decision, _ been involved? i mean, someone took a decision, didn't they, as she was handed _ a decision, didn't they, as she was handed to — a decision, didn't they, as she was handed to them and it was one of the american _ handed to them and it was one of the american troops to take her. did you have any— american troops to take her. did you have any contact with them? did they follow _ have any contact with them? did they follow the _ have any contact with them? did they follow the story through at all? we haven't follow the story through at all? haven't had follow the story through at all? , haven't had personal contact with the us marines but i know they have been tracking through their command from our perspective, when that story broke, it was about six to 12
8:27 am
hours from when that huge ied blast went off at the abbey gate and to be honest, at that stage, we switched focus and we were busy looking after our american and marine brethren who had been severely injured in that attack. we ended up with over 60 casualties coming through the facility was in a very short space of time. so as with all of these things it's a very dynamic situation and we had to switch fast to doing our trauma job at that stage rather than the baby—sitting and daycare so we had been doing for a little while up we had been doing for a little while up until that point.— up until that point. when you describe it — up until that point. when you describe it like _ up until that point. when you describe it like that, - up until that point. when you describe it like that, it - up until that point. when you describe it like that, it bringsj describe it like that, it brings home — describe it like that, it brings home so, _ describe it like that, it brings home so, so well, it's a reality check— home so, so well, it's a reality check for— home so, so well, it's a reality check for all of us, looking at those — check for all of us, looking at those pictures and that little girl, and how— those pictures and that little girl, and how great that story is in terms of this— and how great that story is in terms of this result, then the reality of what _ of this result, then the reality of what you — of this result, then the reality of what you were coping with immediately on that day, and i know in your— immediately on that day, and i know in your normal work. can i ask a

8:31 am
commitment to continue to try to get these people who wish to leave out. currently, the process we were involved with has finished, but it sounds as if there are ongoing methods through the borders to third countries to try and get these people out to a place of safety. lieutenant colonel, tish army consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, _ consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, it— consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, it has been a pleasure talking — surgeon, it has been a pleasure talking to — surgeon, it has been a pleasure talking to you this morning and i'm sure everyone is full of respect for the work— sure everyone is full of respect for the work you have done. thank you for taking _ the work you have done. thank you for taking us— the work you have done. thank you for taking us through everything you saw and _ for taking us through everything you saw and you know.— saw and you know. thank you. thank you- — saw and you know. thank you. thank you. the _ saw and you know. thank you. thank you. the top _ saw and you know. thank you. thank you. the top of - saw and you know. thank you. thank you. the top of his - saw and you know. thank you. thank you. the top of his cv i saw and you know. thank you. - thank you. the top of his cv should be capacity to settle a distressed baby because that is not easy.

hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. coming up before 9am, sarah will have all the weekend's weather for you. for weeks now we've been hearing how a shortage of lorry drivers across britain has been hitting supermarket shelves, restaurant menus and even bin collections. the latest causality of the problem is flu vaccine supplies, with one of england and wales' biggest manufacturers warning of delays in delivering doses to some gp surgeries. let's find out what impact this might have — we'rejoined now by the director of public health for lancashire, dr sakthi karunanithi,
8:33 am
and from chesham, dr nighat arif. a very good morning to you. have you had to break this news to your patients? had to break this news to your atients? , , , , ., , patients? yes. only yesterday. i was on duty doctor _ patients? yes. only yesterday. i was on duty doctor yesterday, _ patients? yes. only yesterday. i was on duty doctor yesterday, and - patients? yes. only yesterday. i was on duty doctor yesterday, and i - patients? yes. only yesterday. i was on duty doctor yesterday, and i got i on duty doctor yesterday, and i got an e—mailfrom our supplier saying an e—mail from our supplier saying they an e—mailfrom our supplier saying they would be a delay of two weeks, and this is on the back of meticulous planning. i have been on bbc breakfast a number of times over the summer saying the flu vaccine programme will be the most ambitious yet, 35 million people that we will be vaccinating to be prepared for winter after the pandemic will stop you know, being in the middle of a pandemic after the vaccination programme for coronavirus, which has been going so successfully, trying to make sure we are protecting our pair patients. we set out letters at the start of the week, encouraging our clinically vulnerable patients to start making appointments, talking to them, explaining to them the importance of having the vaccine, but only yesterday
8:34 am
afternoon to then be sending out text messages and letters saying we were sorry at having to cancel it and we don't actually know when the clinics are going to open again. hagar clinics are going to open again. how serious can — clinics are going to open again. how serious can flu _ clinics are going to open again. how serious can flu be _ clinics are going to open again. how serious can flu be for some of your patients? serious can flu be for some of your atients? ., , , ., patients? some of my patients have underl inc patients? some of my patients have underlying health _ patients? some of my patients have underlying health conditions - patients? some of my patients have underlying health conditions so - patients? some of my patients have underlying health conditions so it i underlying health conditions so it is serious. it could mean the difference between going to hospital, having a hospitalisation stay, maybe even needing a ventilator, particularly if they get pneumonia or other health complications like organ damage due to having severe flu. we give the flu vaccine every year, but every year it has to be tweaked because there is a new crop of viruses that occur, so protection is vitalfor that. forsome occur, so protection is vitalfor that. for some of our patients, they could need it for work. for me as a health care professional, i have the vaccine every year, just so i can make sure that i am protecting my patients as well as my myself. there are bigger implications, notjust the impact on health. dr

8:38 am
difficulty is that we meticulously planned this. both in general practice, and we also work with other primary care providers, so it's notjust gps who are affected, it's notjust gps who are affected, it is also pharmacies and district nurses who will go out to vaccinate housebound patients, and those are extremely vulnerable patients. then we have got health visitors or midwives that need to vaccinate their pregnant patients. so it does have wider implications which then falls back onto the gp because if they get sick, that's something i need to plan for. i think a lot of my gp colleagues will say that they feel like they are firefighting and this has just added to this. blood bottles, in the past as a gp i have had difficulty with hrt and patches, so medicines, and i know that no one is saying it, but there is driver difficulties for lorries, but i'm going to use that brexit word, but i think this is something we need to
8:39 am
be asking our leaders to be honest with us, what are the delays, how long will they last, can i practice in the way i need to? are there medical procedures i need to cancel customer if it is bottles now, what other consumables will i have difficulty getting into my practice? i need to prepare this so i can prepare for my patients, because otherwise the impact. my patients and that is not good enough. thank ou both and that is not good enough. thank you both for — and that is not good enough. thank you both forjoining _ and that is not good enough. thank you both forjoining us. _ you both forjoining us. we are back to go to wimbledon now for a very excited rugby club because it's not everyday you get the national coach, this time it is eddiejones, the england rugby coach, whojust turns eddiejones, the england rugby coach, who just turns up at your club for a bit of training on a saturday morning. the reason, of course, is because grassroots rugby is up and running again, as it would have been quite a long time ago.
8:40 am
yes, it is back on its full contact form, 15 a side. they are back here at wimbledon rugby club in its 156 year. we have got a special guest but we will come onto that in a moment. the last competitive game was played in march 2020. it has been a long time coming. the pandemic, slowly easing with restrictions, so we are back here today. anna is the director of the women's team, celebrating a special birthday. plat women's team, celebrating a special birthda . ., , ., ., , birthday. not you, the team. yes, it is our 30th — birthday. not you, the team. yes, it is our 30th anniversary _ birthday. not you, the team. yes, it is our 30th anniversary today - birthday. not you, the team. yes, it is our 30th anniversary today of- is our 30th anniversary today of women's rugby being played at wimbledon. tell]! women's rugby being played at wimbledon-— wimbledon. tell me about the evolution of _ wimbledon. tell me about the evolution of the _ wimbledon. tell me about the evolution of the women's - wimbledon. tell me about the | evolution of the women's team through the ages. are you finding it easier now to attract young ladies into the team? i believe you have got three girls teams? absolutely, women's rugby _ got three girls teams? absolutely, women's rugby is _ got three girls teams? absolutely, women's rugby is growing - got three girls teams? absolutely, women's rugby is growing fast. - got three girls teams? absolutely, j women's rugby is growing fast. we have got our youth and girls coming through to senior rugby at the

8:44 am
of hannah cockroft, but also for the para— canoe team, who now topped the medal table after two more gold medals today. it means hannah cockcroft has won her seventh overall paralympic gold medal, and her second of these toyko games. the only downside, she joked, was she hadn't broken the world record in the t34 800 metres overnight, even though her time was a new paralympic best. there has also been more british success on the water, in paracanoe. rounding up the action so far on this penultimate day, here's craig templeton. a golden smile, hannah cockroft, seven time paralympic champion. she is said not to be the biggest fan of the 800 metres. that's not what it looked like. she opened up a huge lead and by the home straight, there was no doubt who was bringing home the title. kare adenegan took silver, in a british 1—2, but it was cockroft�*s day.
8:45 am
a title that was hers in rio is now hers in tokyo, a breathtaking performance and paralympic record. a feat even more impressive considering she'd injured her right hand in the warm up. she fought through the pain. this was her reward. from the track to the water, where there is also a battle of the brits as the swimmer charlotte henshaw won bronze in the silver at the two previous games. her desire to go one better propelled her to victory. emma wiggs pushed her all the way. 200 metres paracanoe gold and silver, the team spirit clear to see. and there was a first paralympic medal in the kl3 finalfor laura sugar. the fact it was gold made it even sweeter. after what's been a difficult year, britain's dan evans
8:46 am
has finally hit his top form, and a stunning form, and a stunning fight back means he's now through to the fourth round of the us open for the first time in his career. he was staring at defeat when australian alexei popyrin surged into a two set lead, but he showed he's got his strength and confidence back after a long time struggling with the after effects of covid—19, as he dug in to level the match at two sets all. and in the thrilling final set, evans found that last drop of energy to take the match in the tie break as popryin double faulted on match point. evans said he could barely believe it and faces the second seed, daniil medvedev, next. but how about this? a teenager has knocked out naomi osaka, the women's defending champion, in one of the great upsets. she lost to the canadian leylah fernandez. osaka was serving for the match in the second set, but the 18—year—old fernandez hung in and fought back to win in three sets. you have to feel for osaka, who was in tears afterwards and says she doesn't know when she will play a tennis match again.
8:47 am
it's so finely balanced in the fourth test between england and india, going into day three, and with the series level at 1—1, today at the oval could go a long way to deciding the outcome of both this match and series. having looked in control, england lost two early wickets yesterday, with craig 0verton and dawid malan both falling to umesh yadav. but then ollie pope came to the rescue, guiding england to a first innings lead. he looked set for a century but was bowled out for 81. england were eventually dismissed for 290, but despite the celebrations around pope, india finished the day on 43 without loss, so only 56 runs behind. they've crept back into it. i was pretty gutted when i got out. i had worked hard to get to 80, i felt really good. i was disappointed with the shot i play to get out, so i guess, yeah, it is bittersweet, especially at your home ground, i would have loved to get over the line. but i just want to help put the team in as good a position as i can,
8:48 am
so i'm happy with my contribution. there was real controversy in the football as the women's super league returned. manchester united started with a 2—0 win over reading, and at first united were in control as kirsty hanson put them ahead towards the end of the first half. but reading came fighting back, and were left fuming that they were denied a goal here, with the ball deemed not to have crossed the line. replays suggest it did, but there was no goal—line technology available. and salt was rubbed into reading wounds when 0na batlle sealed the three points early in the second, in marc skinner's first game as manager, having replaced casey stoney. britain's dina asher—smith ran a personal best in the women's 200 metres at the diamond league in brussels. she was second with 75 metres to go behind jamaican shericka jackson, but a late surge from 18—year—old sensation christine mboma blew them both away to take first, with asher—smith coming third.
8:49 am
despite this, she said she was just happy to be runnning that fast again elsewhere in brussels, britain 5 keely hodgkinson and jemma reekie finished second and third respectively in the women 5 800m behind the jamaican natoya goule. that's all for me. and i know now you are going back to one of the most amazing stories of the paralympics. yes, we will speak to ellie robinson in a moment. what happened for her was quite incredible and she talked about her win, effectively. she finished fifth in the final of her event earlier this week, but she has been through a lot. she has been
8:50 am
praised for her honesty after she opened up about the struggles she endured just to get to tokyo at all. she has now returned to the uk and can speak to us from the olympic park in london. good morning. it must have been a roller—coaster since that interview went viral. it since that interview went viral. it has been lovely, really. i am massively grateful for all the support from the british public. i am really enjoying everything i am doing now i am back home, so it is great to chat to you guys. flan doing nowi am back home, so it is great to chat to you guys.- great to chat to you guys. can you remind viewers _ great to chat to you guys. can you remind viewers who _ great to chat to you guys. can you remind viewers who may - great to chat to you guys. can you remind viewers who may not - great to chat to you guys. can you remind viewers who may not havej great to chat to you guys. can you - remind viewers who may not have seen your post swim interview what that journey to tokyo was like, and by finishing fifth, in some ways some people might have thought it was a disappointment, but actually it was incredible. , ., incredible. yes, so i was diagnosed with disease _ incredible. yes, so i was diagnosed with disease in _ incredible. yes, so i was diagnosed with disease in my _ incredible. yes, so i was diagnosed with disease in my right _ incredible. yes, so i was diagnosed with disease in my right hip, - incredible. yes, so i was diagnosed with disease in my right hip, the i with disease in my right hip, the same condition alfie hewitt has in both hips. it is where the blood
8:51 am
supply gets cut off to the hip and the hip collapses. my hip then rebuilt itself but in a really odd shape, so it doesn't fit into the socket and there's quite a few cysts, and not a lot of cartilage. that's the medicaljargon out of the way. but basically, it has a finite amount of time and unfortunately for me, my hip decided it was the end of this year and it was going to give up, and that was the amount of time. i basically decided, this is not the end, i have trained for five years and i'm not going to be told when to finish, i'm not going to go out this way, i'm going to finish on my own terms. i won gold in 2016, sol way, i'm going to finish on my own terms. i won gold in 2016, so i knew there would be an expectation for me to win gold again, but to be honest, everything about me was just the triumph of overcoming the past year. i barely trained, i didn't swim a length of butterfly between may and november and i was meant to be
8:52 am
competing in the butterfly, so it was a real challenge. i had two further injections and there was no medication they could give me. it wasjust, i'm sorry, there's nothing you can —— we can do, just take the opportunity to train if it arises. so it was a very difficult year and it took its toll on me mentally as well. so i was immensely proud to get to where i did, to get to the games, to get to the final, and also due tojust get games, to get to the final, and also due to just get to that feeling of not being defeated and to say i triumphed over heartache and agony. that was where that pride came from. and it is about refraining what success and victory looks like, but i guess for lots of athletes and lots of us watching, there could have been an immense sense of bitterness that, had it been a year earlier, your hip would have had more time left and it would have been a very different situation, but you have not got an ounce of bitterness about it. quite the

8:55 am
is notjust the medals that are getting recognised and remembered, it is the characters. and that's what i've been trying to say to my para— swimming friends. i got a good friend in italy who is an amazing athlete, he is unbelievable. i keep saying to him, you have got this amazing character. he puts a lot of pressure on himself to win medals. he sets high expectations for himself. i remember, keep saying to all my friends, it is about who you are as an athlete. medals are fantastic, but it is the personality and the characters that the public love and i have learnt that in the most amazing way possible. so thank you to the british public. $5 most amazing way possible. so thank you to the british public. am you to the british public. as i understand — you to the british public. as i understand it, _ you to the british public. as i understand it, tell— you to the british public. as i understand it, tell me - you to the british public. as i understand it, tell me a - you to the british public. as i understand it, tell me a little bit about the place you are at today. i think it is called a celebration of sport. what will happen there today? so it is basically an event put on by the national lottery and paralympics gb and we are inviting a lot of disabled children to

basically showcase how amazing they are in sport. obviously, it is providing the opportunities for disabled people in sport, but i'm actually enjoying watching these children demonstrate just how fantastic their characters are. what is so great today is that we are not actually focusing on disability, we are focusing on showing the intrinsic value of these fantastic children, and we are allowing disabled children to show their true credibility. this is not an act of charity, this is a demonstration of the worth that these children have, and the mental strength that they possess. not for living with a disability, butjust for being these fantastic characters. ibe disability, butjust for being these fantastic characters.— fantastic characters. be in no doubt, ellie, _ fantastic characters. be in no doubt, ellie, you _ fantastic characters. be in no doubt, ellie, you will- fantastic characters. be in no doubt, ellie, you will be - fantastic characters. be in no - doubt, ellie, you will be affecting a lot of people in a very positive way. it has been lovely catching up with you today. enjoy your moment. thank you. thank you. we thank you. we have thank you. we have not thank you. we have not seen thank you. we have not seen the thank you. we have not seen the last thank you. we have not seen the last we have not of thank you. we have not seen the last of her, have we? that is without

doubt my standout moment. and she is only 20 years old. let's have a look at the weather now. not a bad weekend ahead for most of us, and if you have been holding out for a bit of sunshine and warmth, particularly in the south, things are going to be warming up over the next couple of days to something a little bit summery. we have got some fog and low cloud around this morning. as we head through the day, there will be more spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud in most places, and largely dry conditions through the day. not completely dry, but a bit of drizzle physically close to the east coast. high pressure is still in charge, but will drift east through the weekend, allowing the south—easterly wind to pick up, so that will bring warm and clearair. wind to pick up, so that will bring warm and clear air. a weather front just push into the north north—west of the uk tomorrow, so if fair
8:58 am
amount of cloud today for many places, further south and west longer spells of sunshine around. here, with lighter winds than of late, it will feel quite pleasant. we have still got a breeze off the north sea for parts of eastern scotland and northern england, so a little cooler for aberdeen towards newcastle will stop further south in the sunshine, we could see 23 or 24 celsius today. not a bad day. some late sunshine for many of us as we head into the evening. still quite a bit of cloud holding on for parts of eastern england into scotland as well through this evening and overnight. clearer skies further south, but it won't be a cold night because we have got that milder air, so temperature is 11—15 c. tomorrow, looking mostly dry for a good part of the day with some sunshine. a little bit more cloud drifting around across parts of east anglia,
8:59 am
and later in the afternoon sun rain will arrive across northern ireland and the west of scotland. before that, a warmer day for many. up to 25 celsius for cardiff and london. through sunday into monday, we have got a weak front which pushes south, but just the odd got a weak front which pushes south, butjust the odd shower first got a weak front which pushes south, but just the odd shower first thing monday for central parts of the uk. sunny spells for some of us elsewhere from the word go on monday. so it will be a largely dry day with some sunshine on offer. light winds, and it will feel pleasantly warm. damages in the south up to 26 celsius. 20 across parts of scotland —— mac temperatures. pretty warm for the first few days of the working week, but then things turn more unsettled later in the week. we will have the headlines next.

cockcroft dominates on the track to win her seventh gold medal, in the t34 800 metres — the first of three golds already today for the british team in tokyo. good morning. it's been a bit cool and cloudy for some of us recently but you will be pleased to hear that there's a bit more sunshine in the forecast and temperatures will be on the up over the next few days, too. some rain in the forecast for tomorrow in the north. i'll have the details throughout the morning's programme. it's saturday the 4th of september. our top story... the 4th of september. the uk's four chief medical officers are expected to decide within days whether to recommend vaccinating healthy children against coronavirus. yesterday, thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, which advises the government, decided against recommending the jabs for 12—to 15—year—olds, saying the health benefits were marginal. it's believed the government think there's a strong case
9:02 am
for going ahead. our political correspondent helen cattjoins us now. helen, we're expecting a decision from the uk's four chief medical officers in the coming days, but is there political support —— but growing speculation in the newspapers this morning that they will decide against the medical recommendation? we know that ministers have been keenin we know that ministers have been keen in recent weeks to say they would roll out if the jcvi keen in recent weeks to say they would roll out if thejcvi had come back and recommended it for all children aged 12 to 15. we know, actually, that labour has said there is a strong case, it believes there is a strong case, it believes there is a strong case, it believes there is a strong case for vaccination to avoid further disruption to education. that wasn't a factor that jcvi was able to take into account when it made its recommendation for stop it has a very narrow focus, it looks at the risks and benefits of vaccinating a child versus the risks and benefits of the child catching covid and the effects of covid on the person who is vaccinated, that's the person who is vaccinated, that's the criteria they look at, and on
9:03 am
that basis they felt the benefit of mass vaccination was marginal. have a listen to professor anthony harnden, who sits on thejcvi. i harnden, who sits on the jcvi. i think parents need to understand what _ think parents need to understand what the — think parents need to understand what the risks are, what the benefits _ what the risks are, what the benefits are and make up their own mind— benefits are and make up their own mind about— benefits are and make up their own mind about whether they offer consent — mind about whether they offer consent or not. it's not as cut and dried — consent or not. it's not as cut and dried as— consent or not. it's not as cut and dried as it _ consent or not. it's not as cut and dried as it is — consent or not. it's not as cut and dried as it is for the 6 million, for instance, adults in this country which _ for instance, adults in this country which haven't been vaccinated so far. which haven't been vaccinated so far~ to _ which haven't been vaccinated so far~ to me. — which haven't been vaccinated so far. to me, that is a black—and—white decision, they should — black—and—white decision, they should go— black—and—white decision, they should go ahead and get vaccinated. vaccinating well 12 to 15—year—olds is not _ vaccinating well 12 to 15—year—olds is not a _ vaccinating well 12 to 15—year—olds is not a black—and—white decision. so not _ is not a black—and—white decision. so not a _ is not a black—and—white decision. so not a black—and—white decision, that's why it's not been referred to the chief medical officers, the four chief medical officers to look at the wide effects like the impact of disrupted education and take that into account as well. they will give their advice to ministers. it is expected they will give joint advice, if you like, so it is not expected we will end up with a
9:04 am
situation where teenagers are vaccinated one part of the uk but not another, and it's thought that decision could happen within the next few days. ministers will decide how to proceed from thereon in. helen, many thanks. some gp surgeries in england and wales have begun cancelling appointments for the winter flu jab, after delays to the delivery of doses of the vaccine. a shortage of lorry drivers is believed to be behind the problem. doctors have warned it will have a serious impact on workloads and patients. our correspondent helena wilkinson has this report. this year's flu campaign is set to be the largest in history. more than 35 million people in the uk will be offered the jab on the nhs. news of a delay to some flu vaccine deliveries is causing concern and cancellations. seqirus, which supplies vaccines to gp practices and pharmacies in england and wales, have told their customers supply would be disrupted due to unforeseen road freight challenges.
9:05 am
it is believed to be because of a shortage of lorry drivers. the company warned of a delay of up to two weeks. it's advising gps not to book patients in until they have confirmation of delivery. a two—week delay has a massive impact on our flu vaccine programme because the clinics are already set up, many surgeries already have a lot of vulnerable patients booked in, we like to get going early on in september, ready for the winter. so this is really, really worrying. doctors are already dealing with a chronic shortage of blood test tubes. supply chain issues have been blamed for that. the british medical association said delays to flu vaccine deliveries caused a huge increase in staff's already unsustainable workloads, adding that it created unneeded anxiety for patients. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

the taliban say they're making advances in the panjshir valley, where there's been fierce fighting in the only remaining part of afghanistan not under the group's control. the area, north of the capital kabul, is one of the country's smallest provinces and battles there are reported to have left hundreds dead. the leaders of resistance forces have denied the taliban's claims. president biden has praised people in louisiana and mississippi for their response to hurricane ida last sunday. there's been anger at the delays in restoring power, and mr biden promised that infrastructure would be "built back better" to withstand future storms as nada tawfik reports. one week and a storm that brought america to its knees. look at that tornado! from new orleans to new york, it was a dramatic beating. record rainfall, life—threatening floods, destructive winds and tornadoes usually only seen in the midwest tore through communities with no mercy.
9:07 am
in some places it was unprecedented, and sparked fear about the ferocity and frequency of future weather. oh, my god! the river is flooding! part of this newjersey town was abandoned after the nearby river crested and left cars and homes under 10 feet of water. four people died and about 600 were left homeless. gloria lost everything, but was lucky to escape with her life. she can't swim and had to be rescued by neighbours as the water rose inside her home. i started pounding... for somebody to come and help me so i won't die. i felt like i was dying. down these streets, people's belongings and memories are laid out for garbage pick—up. this family lost three cars and everything in their basement, but already the insurance company has told them they will not cover much of the damage. it's the first time that it happened, but if we stay in the house, what if it happens again?
9:08 am
like, does it really pay to stay in this area any more? president biden has approved an emergency declaration for new york and newjersey. today, he traveled to meet victims in louisiana, where ida first made landfall as a category 4 hurricane. after surveying the damage, he highlighted the threat from climate change. things have changed. so drastically in terms of the environment. we've already crossed certain thresholds, we can't build - back a road, a highway, - a bridge to what it was before. you've got to build - back to what it is now, what's needed now. the cost to life, property and infrastructure has been staggering. still, climate change remains a divisive political issue. and so, over the years, america has ignored warnings and some would say this is the result. nada tawfik, bbc news, newjersey. new evidence has emerged that people have put on weight during the pandemic. nhs data shows that people who signed up for a weight loss programme were, on average,

more than five pounds heavier than three years before covid struck. there are concerns this could lead to an increase in the number of people at risk of developing type—2 diabetes. blackpool�*s famous illuminations are lighting up the seaside town again, after a star—studded switch—on last night. here the lever that gets pulled, and then the lights switch on. the lights will stay on untiljanuary this year. it's hoped the extra two months will bring more tourists to the area and give a boost to businesses. always a brilliant show, can't wait. let's get more on our main story now — the decision by the uk's vaccine advisory body not to recommend vaccinating all 12— to 15—year—olds. so, what's the evidence behind this and why might the government decide to proceed
9:10 am
with the rollout anyway? let's speak to our regular saturday panel — we're joined by linda bauld, professor of public health, and virologist dr chris smith. good morning to both of you. what i will try and do is, there's a lot for people to get their heads around this morning in connection with this jcvi decision. chris, i wonder if you can kind of pick up on some of the evidence in terms of the decision they have made? maybe, linda, you can pick up afterwards about some of the wider context, as in what the chief medical officers and government might do with that information. do you want to kick us up, chris? information. do you want to kick us u, chris? , g , up, chris? sure thing. the jcvi is the joint committee _ up, chris? sure thing. the jcvi is the joint committee on _ up, chris? sure thing. the jcvi is i the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation and their role is to appraise — and immunisation and their role is to appraise medicines, vaccines specifically, and work out whether the benefits conferred by using those _ the benefits conferred by using those vaccines outweigh the costs, not just _ those vaccines outweigh the costs, not just financial costs about cuts to health. — not just financial costs about cuts to health, because any medicine has a side _ to health, because any medicine has a side effect. so they are weighing up, if— a side effect. so they are weighing up. if we _ a side effect. so they are weighing up, if we take this group and give them— up, if we take this group and give

0verton and dawid malan both falling to umesh yadav. but then ollie pope came to the rescue, guiding england to a first innings lead. he looked set for a century but was bowled out for 81. england were eventually dismissed for 290, but despite the celebrations around pope, india finished the day on 43 without loss, so only 56 runs behind. they've crept back into it. i was pretty gutted when i got out. i was pretty gutted when i got out. i worked hard to get to 80 and i felt good. i was disappointed with the shot i played to get out so it is bittersweet, especially on the home ground. ijust want is bittersweet, especially on the home ground. i just want to is bittersweet, especially on the home ground. ijust want to help put the team in as good a position as i can so i am happy with my contribution. after what's been a difficult year, britain's dan evans has finally hit form and a stunning fight back means he's now through to the fourth round of the us open for the first time. earlier he was staring at defeat,

when australiam alexei popyrin, surged into a 2 set lead, but he showed he's got his strength and confidence back, after a long time struggling with the after effects of covid i9. he dug in to level the match at two sets all. in the thrilling final set, evans found that last drop of energy to take the match, in the tie break, as popryin double faulted, on match point. evans said he could barley believe it and faces the 2nd seed daniil medvedev next. i'm not sure it was a hurdle, but you don't want to lose that match. that would have hurt. you know, it just feels good to come through the match, really. a teenager has knocked out naomi osaka, of the great upsets — she lost
