good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. the growing impact of the gas crisis — a warning more energy firms could go bust, as millions of houeholds face soaring bills. it's time for humanity to grow up on climate change — borisjohnson�*s message to the united nations. we trash our habitats again and again— we trash our habitats again and again with the reasoning that we've -ot again with the reasoning that we've got away— again with the reasoning that we've got away with it so far and therefore will get away with it again — again. good morning. again. — good morning. the future of work. new rules mean you could ask your boss to work flexibly from day one.

how will it go down in the like this one? as covid jabs for 12 to 15—year—olds arrive in schools, we answer some of biggest questions being asked in classrooms like this by pupils and teachers. good morning. west ham win at old trafford for the first time in m years, to knock manchester united out of the league cup. and their reward is a fourth round tie against manchester city. and it's a wild and windy start to thursday in the far north of scotland. cool as well. elsewhere, when the sun comes out, another warm september day. details coming up. good morning. it's thursday, september the 23rd. our top story. the boss of the energy regulator ofgem is warning that more firms are likely to go bust, leaving millions of customers facing a switch to new suppliers and more expensive bills. two companies, with more than 800,000 customers, ceased trading yesterday, after the price of wholesale gas soared to unprecedented levels.

our business reporter ramzan karmali has the details. soaring gas prices have led to the collapse of two more energy suppliers, meaning six firms have gone bust in september alone and left 1.5 million customers facing higher bills. those customers that will still receive energy while a new supplier is appointed by 0fgem. it's not unusual for suppliers to grow out of the market. i think what's different this time is the dramatic change in the costs those suppliers are basing. we do expect more, we do expect more not to be able to face the circumstances we are in, but it is genuinely hard to say more than that, partly because that means predicting the gas price. this is a significant impact on the sector and it is something we are working with government to manage, but we can't make predictions.

energy firms have been hit by a massive rise in wholesale prices. they are apparently around four times higher than normal. the body that represents them has warned the market is not working. the government as promised the energy price cap will remain in place during the winter, protecting millions of customers. but from october one, that cap is set to rise 0ctober one, that cap is set to rise by 12%, meaning around 15 million households will sting and up paying more. —— would still end up. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. good morning, adam. if the government is not going to bail out struggling energy suppliers, what help is on offer? well, the government is relying on the existing system working properly. and the existing system is that if_ properly. and the existing system is that if you _ properly. and the existing system is that if you are with an energy sumter— that if you are with an energy supplier that goes bust, then that company— supplier that goes bust, then that company gets no help from the government, but you are transferred by ofgem. _ government, but you are transferred by ofgem, the energy regulator, to by 0fgem, the energy regulator, to another— by ofgem, the energy regulator, to another company that is functioning. and they—

enduring consequences if countries didn't step pp— didn't step up. we will see decertification, _ didn't step up. we will see decertification, drought, i didn't step up. we will see i decertification, drought, crop failure and mass movements of humanity on a scale not seen before, not because of some unforeseen natural event or disaster, but because of us, because of what we are doing now. and our grandchildren will know that we are the culprits. the prime minister chose to focus solely on the subject of climate change. he used this global stage to make the strongest peachy good ahead of the climate conference coming up soonin of the climate conference coming up soon in glasgow, which he said would be a critical turning point for humanity. it helped to have an american president on site. joe biden pledged to double us contributions for developing nations to tackle climate change. that was a big win for mrjohnson, who was determined to cement a crucial relationship that has had its rocky moments. he wasn't able to talk the

promise of a new trade deal into his suitcase, but it was still a largely successful trip that showcased the two leaders working together and shared priorities. and nowhere is that more evident than when it comes to climate crisis. mr that more evident than when it comes to climate crisis.— to climate crisis. mr president, see ou in to climate crisis. mr president, see you in glasgow _ you in glasgow. thank you. you in glasgow. thank ou. ., , ~~ thank you. barbara plett usher, bbc news, new york. _ a vigil will be held tomorrow, in memory of 28—year—old sabina nessa, who was killed at the weekend. her body was found by a member of the public in a london park on saturday morning. the family of the primary school teacher say they've been left devastated by her death, and are appealing for help to find whoever is responsible. care companies are facing the most acute staffing crisis in living memory — that's the warning from a group of major providers. in a letter to the prime minister, the not—for—profit companies, who support around 95,000 elderly people in the uk, have asked the government for immediate help to deal with staff shortages. the government says it will be investing more money in the sector.

high courtjudges will rule today on abortion laws, which permit the late termination of pregnancies if a foetus has a severe abnormality. a pregnancy can currently be terminated up to full term in england, scotland and wales, if the foetus has a disability like down's syndrome, cleft lip and club foot, while most other abortions can't take place beyond 2a weeks. campaigners say the law currently discriminates against people who could have gone on to lead full and happy lives. lava pouring from a volcano on the spanish island of la palma has damaged hundreds of homes and forced thousands to flee the area. the volcano erupted on sunday and scientists are now warning of the dangers of toxic gases and explosions when the lava hits the sea. danjohnson has the latest. this is as close as anybody has been allowed since the volcano and here, you really do get a sense of its power. it's an awesome sight.

these truly are nature's strongest forces at work year. and nobody can tame them, nobody can control them. that is absolutely red hot lava that is spewing continuously into the air and then flowing downhill. that's why it is has been so destructive to the homes, the villages, the communities in the path of that lava. there is also a huge ash cloud that is pouring into the sky, spreading across the island here on the east of la palma. we can show you what that volcanic dust is actually like. it's more like gravel in places. it's really quite coarse. and there is a thick layer of that absolutely everywhere smothering everything. because of that ash, and because of the fact that the lava flowing downhill has cut off roads, it has ripped through the infrastructure here and many villages are uninhabitable. you get a sense of how much heat, how much noise it is generating.

and the big unknown isjust how long that eruption will continue, how much more devastating it could be, and where that lava flow could end up. now i think we can cross to a live image for you right now. i mean these pictures really are extraordinary. this is happening as we speak. and you really do get a sense of the scale of those eruptions. as dan was explaining, they have been continuing for a number of days now. we are not quite clear how far the camera is away from the volcano itself. but you really do get a sense of how dramatic that looks. of course, it is still dark there in the morning. that is the live image. the pictures are stunning- _ that is the live image. the pictures are stunning. it's _ that is the live image. the pictures are stunning. it's quite _ that is the live image. the pictures are stunning. it's quite interestingl are stunning. it's quite interesting the spanish tourist industry has said it's a wonderful show for tourists, but i think the advice is, do stay away, because lots of people have been forced to leave their

south. thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. 'gas firms may face windfall tax' is the headline on the front of the guardian this morning. the paper goes on to say that soaring gas prices could threaten the viability of all but the biggest energy firms. the daily telegraph says the prime minister and president biden privately expressed astonishment at france's reaction to the military pact, aukus, during their meeting this week. the paper reports that borisjohnson told the french president to "get a grip", in a mixture of french and english. the times leads with comments from the creator of the oxford astrazeneca coronavirus vaccine, dame professor sarah gilbert, who says that she believes the disease will eventually become milder, sharing similarities with the common cold. '24 hours to save the gold of la palma', is the headline on the spanish news website, el mundo. it reports on the effects of the recent volcanic eruption on one of the islands biggest exports, bananas.

just coming up to past six. the rapid spread of covid among school children makes it inevitable that their education will be further disrupted. that's the warning from the government's leading medical advisors. they were making the case to mps for vaccinating pupils aged 12 and over, as the roll—out begins in schools across england and scotland. professor chris whitty said cases among the age group were high. there is definitely a substantial transmission happening in this age group _ transmission happening in this age group in _ transmission happening in this age group. in fact, the age group we are talking _ group. in fact, the age group we are talking about is the one where the highest _ talking about is the one where the highest rates of transmission is occurring. — highest rates of transmission is occurring, as far as we can tell. 0ur— occurring, as far as we can tell. our view— occurring, as far as we can tell. our view is _ occurring, as far as we can tell. our view is firmly that people who have an _ our view is firmly that people who have an infection are likely to be off school— have an infection are likely to be off school for longer than people with the — off school for longer than people with the vaccination, on average. john maguire is at a school in weston—super—mare for us this morning. no schoolchildren yet fair. it is a bit early for that. schools all along the way have had to try to deal with a lot, haven't they? yeah,

but then after i got it, i feel better now. these children at villers high school in west london are part of a pilot, among the first in the uk to be jabbed. feeling nervous for the vaccination, but it's been all right. after taking it i feel more safe, i feel more relaxed. the target is for a 75% take—up. but here, they've exceeded that, with 80% of pupils coming forward. it's been stunning, actually. took me by surprise, because i'd heard that there's a, you know, certain amount of hesitation, particularly amongst the bame community. my parents said it was all right to get. it's just an extra layer of protection. 80% of an uptake, and the first school to be l vaccinated, is phenomenal. it gives this school. the best protection. not only this school, _ this community, the household they're living with. the families of the remaining 20% are unsure for a variety of reasons.

some of the concerns they've expressed are around, if their child has an allergy, how would they react to this vaccine? some of them are worried about of the side effects. some of them want to wait and see. at another school, we're back at the hans price academy in weston—super—mare. vaccinations start here next week. and today there is the chance to question bbc breakfast regulars, dr chris smith and professor linda bauld. hello. what studies have actually been done into the effects of the vaccines - when used in children? they looked at the safety, the side effects, and also whether they were effective. and they found the vaccines were very effective against the children developing covid,, or any negative outcomes. and they also found that the side effects for those young people in those trials were really minor and similar to what you would have found for older teens and people in their 20s. so that's the kind of original basis. and then what we've moved into is the next phase,

where there's millions of teenagers around the world that are being followed up after they've had their vaccines. it's fair to say that all medicines have side effects. this new set of vaccines is no exception. but what we're striving for in medicine are side effects that happen very, very rarely, and certainly not more often than if you were to go and catch the infection. and that's been the critical thing that we've noticed here. what's the best way for our families, our children, - our parents to really engage with this discussion, - find out facts rather than perhaps finding out dubious things - from the internet - which are less helpful? the best thing to do is advise parents and young people to look at good websites. and in the uk the nhs websites, which vary across the devolved nations, and then also just the gov.uk website, which has a lot of information about vaccines. are there anybody that you would recommend not doubt the jab? . there will be a small

number of people who, for reasons of say blood clotting or bleeding disorders, they can't have the vaccine. but those people are very, very rare. most people don't have that problem, and a good rule of thumb is if you can have a flu vaccine in a year, then you can have this vaccine. you know, i'm quite young. and we sort of heard all the way through the pandemic that - there's not a lot to worry about with you guys. - why bother with the vaccine . at our age, is what i hear a lot of around the school? cody, that's a really good question. what i would say is we must recognise, particularly when we have high rates of infection in the community, that young people can still develop covid. even though only a small proportion of them will become unwell, there are young people, including in the 12 to 15—year—old age group around the world, who've last their lives as a result of this disease, even if they're tiny numbers. there are also some rare side effects of the disease itself, like multisystem inflammatory disease, we don't fully understand, but does occur in a small proportion of school—age children who develop covid.

you can't become severely unwell with coronavirus if you don't catch it. and if very few people in society are passing on the infection, there's a lower risk that anyone is going to catch it. so we can all do our bit by being vaccinated and staying vaccinated, to keep the level of circulation of the virus as low as possible. and this not only protects people who can't be vaccinated, or don't respond to a vaccine, but it also reduces the likelihood that we are going to get a variants of the virus that could do even nastier things to us. how many doses of the vaccine are we going to take? - good question, oscar. so at the moment for 12 to 15—year—olds we're only rolling out the first dose of the vaccine. that's also the case for 16 to 17—year—olds. that will provide really good protection in that age group. but we also know the more vulnerable 12 to 15—year—olds, or those who are living with somebody who is vulnerable, will get their second dose quite soon. and that's an eight week gap. most of the heavy lifting

from vaccination, most of the protection that you get, comes from exposure to that first dose. it's crucial, the first dose of the vaccine. the second dose consolidates and builds on the protection you get from the first dose. so that first dose is going to give a lot of people a lot of very good protection very quickly, and that might be enough. we just have to watch and wait. and more information enables people to make more informed choices. cheers, guys. bye! - and our thanks as always to chris and to— and our thanks as always to chris and to linda for their expertise. you saw— and to linda for their expertise. you saw the principle of hans price academy _ you saw the principle of hans price academy ask a question in that 08a session~ _ academy ask a question in that 08a session. what is the programme now for vaccinations?— for vaccinations? they haven't started yet? _ for vaccinations? they haven't started yet? no, _ for vaccinations? they haven't started yet? no, early - for vaccinations? they haven't started yet? no, early next i for vaccinations? they haven't i started yet? no, early next week we will have _ started yet? no, early next week we will have our— started yet? no, early next week we will have our nhs— started yet? no, early next week we will have our nhs partners— started yet? no, early next week we will have our nhs partners coming i will have our nhs partners coming in. will have our nhs partners coming in they— will have our nhs partners coming in they witt— will have our nhs partners coming in. they will then _ will have our nhs partners coming in. they will then set _ will have our nhs partners coming in. they will then set up _ will have our nhs partners coming in. they will then set up the - will have our nhs partners coming in. they will then set up the hall. in. they will then set up the hall and students _ in. they will then set up the hall and students will— in. they will then set up the hall and students will be _ in. they will then set up the hall and students will be given - and students will be given vaccination _ and students will be given vaccination early- and students will be given

dead in cator park in kidbrook on saturday. she has been described as a "beautiful soul". a vigil is due to be held in her memory on friday evening. what we have been hearing a lot of from people in the communities is that they are feeling frightened and unsafe and it's really shocking. it's absolutely devastating for the community. the coroner in the croydon tram crash has made four recommendations to prevent further deaths. seven people died when a speeding tram overturned at sandilands. the coroner has now recommended automatic braking and that all tram doors should be strengthened. the victims families have welcomed the recommendations, but say they are still angry no—one has been held accountable. one of the boldest and brightest tv shows is back tonight. and some of the stars of rupaul�*s drag race have been speaking to bbc london. scarlett harlett, ella vaday and vanity milan all live in the capital. they say the show is a lot of fun, but they hope it helps change

attitudes in parts of london. ijust i just feel like ijust feel like in i just feel like in my area ijust feel like in my area there is no representational support for the lb gt community at all, so i feel that doing the show will be like yes to these areas and it will be a positive change for things. well if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from severe delays on thejubilee line. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another mild start this morning and we do have a little bit more in the way of cloud thanks to a cold front which is gradually sinking south. there is a band of

cloud around this morning that will clear away and we will get bright and sunny spells but then the cold front sinks south and with the cloud it's thick enough to put bruce the odd spot of rain but nothing more significant and it will break up through the afternoon into the evening and temperature still warm, with 20 to the maximum. overnight tonight, a bit of patchy cloud but it's under those we are likely to see some mist and fog developing bible —— by dawn tomorrow morning and the minimum temperature in the suburbs, and central london in double figures. once the mist and fog lives, a decent day with plenty of sunshine around but as we head into the mid—week and on saturday its low cloud and looking stubborn and unlikely to break too much and then on sunday, sunny spells, but notice into next week things turn more unsettled and certainly a little cooler. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london

newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and mega we meet 13—year—old rhys who has cerebral palsy. after posting a video of himself playing football online, he received hundreds of abusive messages — now he's working with the fa to raise awareness of disability in the sport. this is history. this is history. it's been 25 years since oasis played their history—making gigs at knebworth park — we speak to one of the support acts as a new documentary is released, celebrating the iconic moment. and after writing stories about dragons to raise her family's spirits when she was diagnosed with cancer during lockdown, jane huddleston has now published the tales to celebrate her remission. she'lljoin us just after 9.

the pandemic has changed the way many of us work — and for some, working from home could soon become a more permanent option. ben's in wigan with more on this. there have been changes for flexible working but it doesn't change how companies have to react. yes, that's right. this might look like any normal factory we are in, but one of those thatis factory we are in, but one of those that is leading a change in how we work and a lot of people were able to work from home over the pandemic if you worked in an office but if you are working somewhere like this you are working somewhere like this you had to come in and flexible working isn't something that places like this can offer. but this place is leading the way. it has asked staff to work a four—day week. they are not cutting their hours or pay, just putting the same amount of work

into four days so it means they get an extra day off every week, 52 days off over the year in extra holiday and the staff here like that. and the government wants to replicate that in other firms around the country so they are proposing that you can ask to work more flexibly from day one of yourjob and in a moment you have to be in the job for six months before you can ask and they say you should be able to ask for that from day one so what do we read by flexible? it's notjust working from home it might be working from home it might be working part—time orjob sharing or compressing your hours into fewer days. your boss does not have to say yes. it might not work for that business. but they will have to explain to you why you can't if they say no and the government also wants to encourage more and more people back into flexible work and allow them to have those questions to their bosses, so lots of businesses

have to content with this. this is so interesting. joining me now is hr expert kate palmer what is crucial as your boss does not have to say yes, but they have to think about it. if it not have to say yes, but they have to think about it.— to think about it. if it becomes a da one to think about it. if it becomes a day one right — to think about it. if it becomes a day one right to _ to think about it. if it becomes a day one right to request - to think about it. if it becomes a day one right to request flexible | day one right to request flexible working — day one right to request flexible working and businesses will have to think about it as recruitment and advertising stage and candidates will be _ advertising stage and candidates will be asking questions about what flexibility— will be asking questions about what flexibility is on offer. and will be asking questions about what flexibility is on offer.— flexibility is on offer. and if they sa no, flexibility is on offer. and if they say no. they _ flexibility is on offer. and if they say no, they have _ flexibility is on offer. and if they say no, they have to _ flexibility is on offer. and if they say no, they have to tell - flexibility is on offer. and if they say no, they have to tell you - flexibility is on offer. and if they l say no, they have to tell you why. at the minute you can say no and they— at the minute you can say no and they don't— at the minute you can say no and they don't have to give any reason but if— they don't have to give any reason but if the — they don't have to give any reason but if the proposals go forward you have to _ but if the proposals go forward you have to give a clear reason for refusal — have to give a clear reason for refusal so _ have to give a clear reason for refusal so they have to think about what the _ refusal so they have to think about what the business rationale is. we have what the business rationale is. have talked what the business rationale is. , have talked a lot about working from home during the pandemic that these proposals will look at all different ways of working and i touched on some of them, part—time working, job sharing and compressed hours and that could be a big change for

a third of them, 88 cases, explicitly cited covid as the reason why rent arrears had arisen. what strikes you about sitting at the hearing is how short they are. people are losing their homes in a matter of minutes. and that's because the law is really clear. if you are at least two months in rent arrears, then the landlord will almost certainly get a possession order. onejudge told almost certainly get a possession order. one judge told the almost certainly get a possession order. onejudge told the bbc however that some tenants had taken advantage of the evictions ban and had simply refused to pay the rent. michelle is owed a fortune by tenants she cannot get rid off due to the exemption ban. i’m tenants she cannot get rid off due to the exemption ban.— to the exemption ban. i'm still havin: to the exemption ban. i'm still having to _ to the exemption ban. i'm still having to pay _ to the exemption ban. i'm still having to pay my _ to the exemption ban. i'm still having to pay my mortgages . to the exemption ban. i'm still. having to pay my mortgages and to the exemption ban. i'm still- having to pay my mortgages and look after the kids and it's really frustrating that no one wants to give me an update on when i should get my property back. give me an update on when i should get my property back-— get my property back. ministers in westminster— get my property back. ministers in westminster say _ get my property back. ministers in westminster say they _ get my property back. ministers in westminster say they took - westminster say they took unprecedented action to keep people in their homes and with the economy reopening it was time to deliver a

at the weekend. manuel lanzini's first half goal was the difference. united had the lion's share of possesion and a lot more of the attempts on goal — but they couldn't find a way through at old trafford, and it's west ham who advance to the fourth round where they will face the holders manchester city, who've won this cup four years running now. reece james scored the winning penalty for chelsea, as they beat aston villa, to extend their unbeaten start to the season . they'll face southampton next as they chase the title they last won six years ago. tottenham are also through. they narrowly beat wolves on penalties. wolves captain connor coady missing the decisive penalty after the match finished level at 2—2 they face burnley next. and arsenal are also through as they continued their good form with a comfortable 3—nil win over wimbledon, to make it three wins in a row now, in all competitions, for mikel arteta. while in scotland, celtic will aim to put their poor

league form to one side, tonight, as they play, second tier raith rovers, for a place in the semi—finals, of the scottish league cup. stjohnstone and rangers are already there — alfredo morelos, took full advantage of a goalkeeping error, to help rangers to a 2—0 win over livingston. derby county have been deducted 12 points by the english football league, after going into administration. that leaves them bottom of the championship on minus two points and facing a very uncertain future. players and staff are in danger of losing theirjobs, including manager wayne rooney. it seems, all that can save them, now is finding a buyer. current owner mel morris, says the club has lost him, in excess of 200—million pounds to date. from the new year, football fans will be able to legally stand at selected grounds in the premier league and championship, after a pilot scheme was given the go—ahead. standing has been banned since 1994, after recommendations made in the taylor report into the 1989 hillsborough disaster. but barrier seating has been developed which can be converted to standing areas,

and campaigners say that safe standing should be allowed in grounds as a matter of common sense. this follows the lead of scotland where clubs are permitted to have a safe standing areas. ibis where clubs are permitted to have a safe standing areas.— where clubs are permitted to have a safe standing areas. as we all know, --eole do safe standing areas. as we all know, people do stand _ safe standing areas. as we all know, people do stand and _ safe standing areas. as we all know, people do stand and have _ safe standing areas. as we all know, people do stand and have been - people do stand and have been standing — people do stand and have been standing ever since the taylor report — standing ever since the taylor report on— standing ever since the taylor report on the problem is when clubs cannot— report on the problem is when clubs cannot manage that process and you end up— cannot manage that process and you end up in— cannot manage that process and you end up in a _ cannot manage that process and you end up in a way ends with people standing — end up in a way ends with people standing in front of people who do not want _ standing in front of people who do not want to or cannot themselves stand _ not want to or cannot themselves stand it — not want to or cannot themselves stand. it generates a bunch of problems— stand. it generates a bunch of problems that needn't be there and it's so— problems that needn't be there and it's so easy— problems that needn't be there and it's so easy to handle with standing areas _ it's so easy to handle with standing areas at _ it's so easy to handle with standing areas at the back of away ends or designated standing areas. as the excitement builds for the start of the ryder cup tomorrow, team europe have been attempting to win over the home fans at whistling straits. the players appeared in 'cheeseheads' — a nod to the local nfl side, the green bay packers. on paper, the usa, are favourites

to win with 9 of the top 11 players in the world on their team, but ian poulter is no stranger to upsetting the odds on foreign soil he was part of the miracle in medinah, back in 2012, the last time europe won in the united states. i think it is on each player to work out how— i think it is on each player to work out how he — i think it is on each player to work out how he will use that energy to spur them — out how he will use that energy to spur them on, out how he will use that energy to spurthem on, to out how he will use that energy to spur them on, to get the best out of them, _ spur them on, to get the best out of them, so, _ spur them on, to get the best out of them, so, it's— spur them on, to get the best out of them, so, it's different and we don't _ them, so, it's different and we don't always have it all that way and this— don't always have it all that way and this will be a new one, but there _ and this will be a new one, but there is— and this will be a new one, but there is the ability to use their use their— there is the ability to use their use theirjuice. we there is the ability to use their use theirjuice.— there is the ability to use their use theirjuice. use their 'uice. we will have more build-u use theirjuice. we will have more build-up tomorrow. _ use theirjuice. we will have more build-up tomorrow. and - use theirjuice. we will have more build-up tomorrow. and i - use theirjuice. we will have more build-up tomorrow. and i know. use theirjuice. we will have more | build-up tomorrow. and i know you build—up tomorrow. and i know you are interested. the build-up tomorrow. and i know you are interested.— build-up tomorrow. and i know you are interested. the whole weekend is booked. if are interested. the whole weekend is booked- if the — are interested. the whole weekend is booked. if the solheim _ are interested. the whole weekend is booked. if the solheim cup _ are interested. the whole weekend is booked. if the solheim cup women, | booked. if the solheim cup women, and the ryder cup take their inspiration from them.- and the ryder cup take their inspiration from them. yes, get more tomorrow. for well over 200 years, we've had the term 'batsman' in cricket. but from now on, the gender—neutral word, 'batter�* will be used. marylebone cricket club,

which is recognised as the sole authority on the sport's laws, says the change will take immediate effect and will "help reinforce crickets status, as an inclusive game for all". and finally, an unexpected visitor halted a match, in the bosnian premier league. play was stopped after a dog ran onto the pitch, and showed some decent skill as it managed to nutmeg one of the players. r , they had a good go at the ball before he eventually was carried off and the fun ended. there we go. sad moment. i have a dog myself and you cannot play football in the garden without them getting involved and it goes berserk when it is left inside.

around scotland and the outbreaks of rain, and quite intense and pushing through the highlands and patchy rain further west but the wind strength is of note and 70 miles for a a few hours at least across parts of orkney and shetland and a blustery start across the rest of scotland. patchy rain working into the north of northern ireland as well and there is a weather front in south wales pushing into south—west england that will bring lots of rain but a fair bit of sunshine across eastern areas of the country and sunshine with the breeze in the north of scotland and the winds will ease down a bit through the day stop western scotland will stay cloudy with further outbreaks of rain and a fair bit of cloud in the morning sunshine after the morning but the slice of sunshine through the wales and east anglia, we could see temperatures between 20 to 23 degrees and another one day for september. a mild night across the north and west, not as windy as last night and patchy rain and drizzle across the north and west and clear

skies, and if you get them for any length of time temperatures will drop into single figures to start your friday morning. for friday we have another area of low pressure passing to the north, not as windy tomorrow across parts of northern scotland but a blustery day and we have these weather fronts tied in here which are bringing in westerly winds and lots of moisture around it, so whilst there is mild air we will see those winds bringing plenty of cloud particularly across the western half the country and western scotland and northern ireland and western wales, it might be gloomy with light rain or drizzle on and off but gaps in the cloud and eastern wales see sunshine and know the temperatures could get to 2a degrees by this stage in east anglia and 20 degrees in eastern scotland that warm feed continues into the start of the weekend but as we go into next week, notice how the colour changes and things will be

turning a little bit my —— like it should do for this stage in september so this weekend a mixture of sunshine and only one or two showers but next week a greater chance of showers coming your way and it will be blustery at times and it will feel cooler than it does at the moment. . after more than 15 years at the helm of europe's largest economy, german chancellor angela merkel is stepping down. climate change will be one of the most important issues for voters as they head to the polls this weekend, as our berlin correspondentjenny hill reports. it's getting harder for carpet the country are dying. this bug which proliferates in warmer, drier conditions is boring into an killing that weakened trees. nothing the foresters can do but cut down the affected trees and try to stop the

the coroner in the croydon tram crash has made four recommendations to prevent further deaths. seven people died when a speeding tram overturned at sandilands. the coroner has now recommended automatic braking, and that all tram doors should be strengthened. the victims' families have welcomed the recommendations, but say they are still angry no—one has been held accountable. the mayor will use a speech later to warn time's running out to act on the climate emergency, which he says will have devastating effects on london. sadiq khan will say it remains one of the biggest threats the world faces, and he'll talk about the ultra low emission zone which will be extended in just over a month's time. london saw incidents of flash flooding this summer, with one station deluged. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, withjust minor delays

on thejubilee line. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another mild start this morning and we do have a little bit more in the way of cloud thanks to a cold front which is gradually sinking south. there is a band of cloud around this morning that will clear away and we will get bright and sunny spells but then the cold front sinks south and with the cloud it's thick enough to put bruce the odd spot of rain but nothing more significant and it will break up through the afternoon into the evening and temperature still warm, with 20 to the maximum. overnight tonight, a bit of patchy cloud but it's under those we are likely to see some mist and fog developing by dawn tomorrow morning and the minimum temperature in the suburbs, and central london in double figures. once the mist and fog lives, a decent day with plenty of sunshine around but as we head

into the mid—week and on saturday its low cloud and looking stubborn and unlikely to break too much and then on sunday, sunny spells, but notice into next week things turn more unsettled and certainly a little cooler. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. the growing impact of the gas crisis — a warning more energy firms could go bust, as millions of households face soaring bills. it's time for humanity to grow up on climate change — borisjohnson's message to the united nations. we trash our habitats again

and again with the reasoning that we've got away with it so far and therefore will get away with it again. west ham win at old trafford for the first time in ia years, to knock manchester united out of the league cup. and their reward is a fourth round tie against manchester city. the gigs that defined a generation — oasis at knebworth park remembered 25 years on. and it's hardly an oasis of calm in the north of scotland at the moment. strong winds, rough seas, gales. further south, strong winds, rough seas, gales. furthersouth, it strong winds, rough seas, gales. further south, it will feel like summer again. details coming up. good morning. it's thursday, september the 23rd. our top story. the boss of the energy regulator ofgem is warning that more firms are likely to go bust, leaving millions of customers facing a switch to new suppliers

and more expensive bills. two companies, with more than 800,000 customers, ceased trading yesterday, after the price of wholesale gas soared to unprecedented levels. our business reporter, ramzan karmali has the details. soaring gas prices have led to the collapse of two more energy suppliers, meaning six firms have gone bust in september alone and left 1.5 million customers facing higher bills. those customers will still receive energy while a new supplier is appointed by ofgem. its boss warned it was likely more firms would go bust. it's not unusual for suppliers to go out of the market. i think what's different this time is the dramatic change in the costs those suppliers are basing. we do expect more, we do expect more not to be able to face the circumstances we are in, but it is genuinely hard to say more than that, partly because that means predicting the gas price. this is a significant impact on the sector and it is something

we are working with government to manage, but we can't make predictions. energy firms have been hit by a massive rise in wholesale prices. they are apparently around four times higher than normal. the body that represents them has warned the market is not working. the government has promised the energy price cap will remain in place during the winter, and it hopes this will protect millions of customers. but from october 1st, that cap is set to rise by 12%, meaning around 15 million households will still end up paying more. razman karmali, bbc news. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. good morning. there are a number of pathways on this story. one is about people's bills and of the worries about the winter coming up. the other is the big question about what are the government will, or is prepared to do?— are the government will, or is --reared to do? , , prepared to do? yes, when it comes to customers. _ prepared to do? yes, when it comes to customers, if _ prepared to do? yes, when it comes to customers, if you _

warning it is time for "humanity to grow up". addressing the united nations general assembly in new york, borisjohnson said the world is approaching a "critical turning point", and countries must finally take responsibility. our north america correspondent, barbara plett—usher reports. it was not for the faint—hearted, this frenetic trip. the prime minister covered a lot of ground. he shook a few hands. conducted a few interviews. visited a few sites. even took a train ride. final stop, back to the united nations, where he used his address to press for a stronger commitment to end global warming, with a stark warning of the enduring consequences if countries didn't step up. we will see decertification, drought, crop failure and mass movements of humanity on a scale not seen before, not because of some unforeseen natural event or disaster, but because of us, because of what we are doing now. and our grandchildren will know

that we are the culprits. the prime minister chose to focus solely on the subject of climate change. he used this global stage to make a strong speech ahead of the climate conference coming up soon in glasgow, which he said would be a critical turning point for humanity. it helped to have an american president on side. joe biden pledged to double us contributions for developing nations to tackle climate change. that was a big win for mrjohnson, who was determined to cement a crucial relationship that has had its rocky moments. he wasn't able to tuck the promise of a new trade deal into his suitcase, but it was still a largely successful trip that showcased the two leaders working together on shared priorities. and nowhere is that more evident than when it comes to climate crisis. mr president, see you in glasgow. thank you.

barbara plett—usher, bbc news, new york. a vigil will be held tomorrow, in memory of 28—year—old sabina nessa, who was killed at the weekend. her body was found by a member of the public in a london park on saturday morning. police say they think she was killed in a way to meet a friend in a pub. a vigil will be held tomorrow in her memory. the family of the primary school teacher say they've been left devastated by her death and are appealing for help to find whoever is responsible. she honestly was the most caring person, kindest, sweetest girl you could meet. her heart was as good as gold. she never had a bad thing to say about anyone. her sisters are going to miss her so much. care companies are facing the most acute staffing crisis in living memory — that's the warning from a group of major providers. in a letter to the prime minister, the not—for—profit companies, who support around 95,000 elderly people in the uk, have asked

the government for immediate help to deal with staff shortages. the government says it will be investing more money in the sector. high courtjudges will rule today on abortion laws, which permit the late termination of pregnancies if a foetus has a severe abnormality. a pregnancy can currently be terminated up to full term in england, scotland and wales, if the foetus has a disability like down's syndrome, cleft lip or club foot, while most other abortions can't take place beyond 2a weeks. campaigners say the law currently discriminates against people who could have gone on to lead full and happy lives. lava is continuing to flow from a volcano on the the spanish island of la palma, after its eruption last weekend. hundreds of homes have been destroyed, and thousands of people have fled from the area. these pictures are amazing. scientists are now warning of the dangers of toxic gases and explosions,

but here's the situation as it stands. six energy suppliers have gone under this month. the biggest was avro energy, which had 580,000 customers. green supplier limited, which also went under yesterday, had just over a quarter of million customers. a total of 1.5 million households have lost their supplier within the last three weeks, and that figure is set to rise, with potentially dozens of firms at risk. many will be on the smaller end of the market, but the uk's sixth biggest supplier, bulb, has said it is seeking financing. it has 1.7 million customers. emma pinchbeck is the chief executive of the trade body energy uk, which represents around 90% of suppliers. she joins us from east london. kate hardcastle is in the studio as well. good morning. emma, if we can start with you, first of all, let's deal with some basics about the

numbers of companies that are going under. ofgem are saying that more are likely to go under and possibly imminently. what is the situation? i know this is market sensitive to a degree but people have a right to know, i think. degree but people have a right to know, ithink. what degree but people have a right to know, i think. what is the situation as we sit here on a thursday morning? i as we sit here on a thursday morning?— as we sit here on a thursday morninr ? g ., ,., , ,, ., morning? i know it sounds like a comeback. _ morning? i know it sounds like a comeback, but _ morning? i know it sounds like a comeback, but we _ morning? i know it sounds like a comeback, but we don't - morning? i know it sounds like a comeback, but we don't know i morning? i know it sounds like a. comeback, but we don't knowjust now _ comeback, but we don't knowjust now. another few small suppliers are at risk _ now. another few small suppliers are at risk 0f— now. another few small suppliers are at risk. of the entire industry is worried — at risk. of the entire industry is worried from top to bottom about the state of _ worried from top to bottom about the state of the _ worried from top to bottom about the state of the market. that is largely due to _ state of the market. that is largely due to the — state of the market. that is largely due to the gas price but also our regulations and our ability to respond _ regulations and our ability to respond. so we've got lots of mechanisms in place to cope with retail— mechanisms in place to cope with retail failures. those have kicked in already — retail failures. those have kicked in already. there are discussions going _ in already. there are discussions going on— in already. there are discussions going on with government. i think the message at the moment is everyone — the message at the moment is everyone is insisting that customers come _ everyone is insisting that customers come first— everyone is insisting that customers come first in the next few weeks.

you say— come first in the next few weeks. you say there are measures in place. are the very basics of this comedy mechanisms, working properly? ifi am sitting at home this morning, i may know who my supplier is but i don't know if they are going to last. can i be entirely confident that my power, my energy, will not stop? can i be 100% confident of my bill will carry on and everything will be as it was, leaving aside the issue of cost at the moment? i will be as it was, leaving aside the issue of cost at the moment? i heard ou're issue of cost at the moment? i heard you're really — issue of cost at the moment? i heard you're really good — issue of cost at the moment? i heard you're really good piece _ issue of cost at the moment? i heard you're really good piece a _ issue of cost at the moment? i heard you're really good piece a moment i you're really good piece a moment a-o you're really good piece a moment ago talking about the kind of mechanism we have in place, called the supplier of last resort. basically that is there because there — basically that is there because there is— basically that is there because there is the agreement that the absolute — there is the agreement that the absolute priority is ensuring supplies _ absolute priority is ensuring supplies and making sure nobody gets cut off _ supplies and making sure nobody gets cut off when the retailer fails. that _ cut off when the retailer fails. that has — cut off when the retailer fails. that has been working so far. we have _ that has been working so far. we have had — that has been working so far. we have had retailers exit the market before _ have had retailers exit the market before in— have had retailers exit the market before. in the market sometimes businesses fail. i think what is going — businesses fail. i think what is going on— businesses fail. i think what is going on at the moment, and again your piece — going on at the moment, and again your piece covered this, is whether

we need _ your piece covered this, is whether we need additional support given the extraordinary circumstances we are facing _ extraordinary circumstances we are facing. again, that is all about going — facing. again, that is all about going over and above the existing mechanisms to make sure customers have continuity of suppliers.- have continuity of suppliers. emma, can i ick have continuity of suppliers. emma, can i pick you _ have continuity of suppliers. emma, can i pick you up _ have continuity of suppliers. emma, can i pick you up on _ have continuity of suppliers. emma, can i pick you up on that _ have continuity of suppliers. emma, can i pick you up on that thought? l can i pick you up on that thought? the language around this is the stuff that may worry people. you say the system has worked so far. now what we know is there is every chance they will be many more people, many more customers, it could be millions, who are in that position. so as it stands, are you saying the system is not prepared enough, is not capable of dealing with these numbers that may follow through? is with these numbers that may follow throurh? . ,, with these numbers that may follow throurh? ,., , . with these numbers that may follow throurh? , , . through? is your piece said, we would like _ through? is your piece said, we would like to _ through? is your piece said, we would like to see _ through? is your piece said, we would like to see some - through? is your piece said, we l would like to see some additional support— would like to see some additional support in— would like to see some additional support in the mechanism. that is simply— support in the mechanism. that is simply because the gas price is high enough _ simply because the gas price is high enough that any supplier that takes on additional customers will have to buy gas— on additional customers will have to buy gas at— on additional customers will have to buy gas at the current price in the market _ buy gas at the current price in the market. that's quite challenging. it's challenging because retailers from _ it's challenging because retailers from top — it's challenging because retailers from top to bottom don't make very bil from top to bottom don't make very big margins— from top to bottom don't make very big margins at all. so finding the

in her memory on friday evening. what we have been hearing a lot of from people in the communities is that they are feeling frightened and unsafe, and it's really shocking. it's absolutely devastating for the community. the coroner in the croydon tram crash has made four recommendations to prevent further deaths. seven people died when a speeding tram overturned at sandilands five years ago. the coroner has now recommended automatic braking and that all tram doors should be strengthened. the victims families have welcomed the recommendations but say they are still angry no—one has been held accountable. a new report by the centre for london is calling on the government to legalise the use of private e—scooters on roads. currently in london the only e—scooters that can be used on public roads are those rented as part of government—backed trials. the report recommends encouraging takeup of e—scooters, suggesting the reduction in car trips would drastically reduce carbon emissions. well, if you're heading out

on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another mild start this morning and we do have a little bit more in the way of cloud thanks to a cold front which is gradually sinking south. there is a band of cloud around this morning that will clear away and we will get bright and sunny spells but then the cold front sinks south and with the cloud it's thick enough to produce the odd spot of rain but nothing more significant and it will break up through the afternoon into the evening and temperature still warm, with 22 the maximum. overnight tonight, a bit of patchy cloud but it's under those

we are likely to see some mist and fog developing by dawn tomorrow morning and the minimum temperature in the suburbs around nine, and central london in double figures. tomorrow, once the mist and fog lives, a decent day with plenty of sunshine around but as we head into the weekend and on saturday its low cloud and looking stubborn and unlikely to break too much and then on sunday, sunny spells, but notice into next week things turn more unsettled and certainly a little cooler. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the energy industry is braced for more suppliers to go bust imminently after six ceased trading this month alone.

that means bigger bills for millions of households and calls for the government to step in. we can speak now to the minister for small business, paul scully. good morning we are working with energy companies and the secretary of state has been involved in back—to—back calls in the last weekend and throughout, and we have been working with ofgem and we have the energy price cap which is helping consumers keep their prices down as best we can and that is supporting people with £100 on dual fuel prices. taste supporting people with £100 on dual fuel rices. ~ . supporting people with £100 on dual fuel rices. . ., ., . fuel prices. we are also having the warm homes _ fuel prices. we are also having the warm homes discount _ fuel prices. we are also having the warm homes discount for- fuel prices. we are also having the warm homes discount for those . fuel prices. we are also having the warm homes discount for those on j fuel prices. we are also having the - warm homes discount for those on the lowest income and those receiving elements of pension credit and between them then that helps around 15 million people in terms of the price cap and keeping their energy low but we need to work with the sector to make sure we can smooth

actually give a sense of perspective or continuity for prices for consumers across the country. if i consumers across the country. if i were a consumer and i was told that there are lots of competitions and there are lots of competitions and the government has encouraged us to shop around for the best prices and take responsibility for our bills and what we can afford, so if i had done that and gone to one of the smaller companies that was offering a great deal, a cap on my bills and energy and i could budget effectively, i would expect that company to be safe so i would not end up in a situation now, if i was a customer of avro or green, now i'm just waiting for some big energy company or save energy company or when the government says has a better business model to take over and charge me, i don't know how much and charge me, i don't know how much and see much higher bills. there and charge me, i don't know how much and see much higher bills.— and see much higher bills. there are articular and see much higher bills. there are particular pressures _ and see much higher bills. there are particular pressures at _ and see much higher bills. there are particular pressures at the _ and see much higher bills. there are particular pressures at the moment. particular pressures at the moment in energy supply. you have increased

we are tackling with ofgem and energy companies within regular conversations and regular moves. so if i am a customer of a company at this moment, i don't know, there is no guarantee that it won't be one that will go bust? taste no guarantee that it won't be one that will go bust?— that will go bust? we are getting into a bit of— that will go bust? we are getting into a bit of speculation. - that will go bust? we are getting into a bit of speculation. six - into a bit of speculation. six ener: into a bit of speculation. six energy companies have gone bust in the last month.— the last month. companies do leave the last month. companies do leave the market each _ the last month. companies do leave the market each and _ the last month. companies do leave the market each and every - the last month. companies do leave the market each and every year- the last month. companies do leave the market each and every year and| the market each and every year and this is why ofgem are used to this kind of protection for consumers to make sure they have the continuity of supply but i come back to the point that what we are doing and working with ofgem that we have the energy price cap to make sure we can keep prices as low as possible and push those companies to stop spikes in prices for consumers to protect them in the winter months. industry sources say — them in the winter months. industry sources say there _ them in the winter months. industry sources say there could _ them in the winter months. industry sources say there could be - them in the winter months. industry sources say there could be as -

it was the second time in four days manchester united had faced west ham, this time at home, with much changed teams in the league cup, and this time it was the hammers who came out on top. so revenge for their defeat in the league to united at the weekend. manuel lanzini's first half goal was the difference. united had the lion's share of possesion and a lot more of the attempts on goal — but they couldn't find a way through at old trafford, and it's west ham who advance to the fourth round where they will face the holders manchester city, who've won this cup four years running now. tottenham also won on penalties at wolves, and chelsea, arsenal, leicester and brighton didn't have to worry as they are free. celtic will aim to cheer up theirfans, after a poor start in the league, as they play, second tier raith rovers,

customers ceased trading yesterday, after the price of wholesale gas soared to unprecedented levels. our business reporter ramzan karmali has the details. soaring gas prices have led to the collapse of two more energy suppliers, meaning six firms have gone bust in september alone and left 1.5 million customers facing higher bills. those customers will still receive energy while a new supplier is appointed by ofgem. its boss warned it was likely more firms would go bust. it's not unusual for suppliers to go out of the market. i think what's different this time is the dramatic change in the costs those suppliers are facing. we do expect more, we do expect more not to be able to face the circumstances we are in, but it is genuinely hard to say more than that, partly because that means predicting what may happen to the gas price. this is a significant impact on the sector and it is something we are working with government to manage, but we can't

make predictions. energy firms have been hit by a massive rise in wholesale prices. they are apparently around four times higher than normal. the body that represents them has warned the market is not working. the government has promised the energy price cap will remain suppliers are keen to step up and help customers. so far every customer has gone to another supplier. the question is, given that we think we might get multiple suppliers failing at once, is the mechanism enough, and or because the gas price is so high, do we need additional support? the government has promised the energy price cap will remain in place during the winter, and it hopes this will protect millions of customers. but from october 1st, that cap is set to rise by 12%, meaning around 15 million households will still end up paying more. razman karmali, bbc news. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. good morning. isuppose

general assembly in new york, borisjohnson said the world is approaching a "critical turning point" and countries must finally take responsibility. our north america correspondent barbara plett—usher reports. it was not for the faint—hearted, this frenetic trip. the prime minister covered a lot of ground. he shook a few hands. conducted a few interviews. visited a few sites. even took a train ride. final stop, back to the united nations, where he used his address to press for a stronger commitment to end global warming, with a stark warning of the enduring consequences if countries didn't step up. we will see desertification, drought, crop failure and mass movements of humanity on a scale not seen before, not because of some unforeseen natural event or disaster, but because of us, because of what we are doing now.

and our grandchildren will know that we are the culprits. the prime minister chose to focus solely on the subject of climate change. he used this global stage to make a strong speech ahead of the climate conference coming up soon in glasgow, which he said would be a critical turning point for humanity. it helped to have an american president on side. joe biden pledged to double us contributions for developing nations to tackle climate change. that was a big win for mrjohnson, who was determined to cement he wasn't able to tuck the promise of a new trade deal into his suitcase, but it was still a largely successful trip that showcased the two leaders working together on shared priorities. and nowhere is that more evident than when it comes to climate crisis. mr president, see you in glasgow. thank you. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, new york.

police investigating the murder of 28—year—old sabina nessa, say they think she was killed on her way to meet a friend at a pub. her body was found by a member of the public in a london park on saturday morning, and a vigil will be held tomorrow in her memory. the family of the primary school teacher say they've been left "devastated" by her death. she honestly was the most caring person, kindest, sweetest girl you could meet. sabina's heart was as good as gold. she never had a bad thing to say about anyone. her sisters are going to miss her so much. care companies are facing the most acute staffing crisis in living memory — that's the warning from a group of major providers. in a letter to the prime minister, the not—for—profit companies, who support around 95,000 elderly people in the uk, have asked the government for immediate help to deal with staff shortages. the government says it will be investing more money in the sector.

are part of a pilot, among the first in the uk to be jabbed. feeling nervous for the vaccination, but it's been all right. after taking it i feel more safe, i feel more relaxed. the target is for a 75% take—up. but here, they've exceeded that, with 80% of pupils coming forward. it's been stunning, actually. took me by surprise, because i'd heard that there's a, you know, certain amount of hesitation, particularly amongst the bame community. my parents said it was all right to get. it's just an extra layer of protection. 80% of an uptake, and the first school to be l vaccinated, is phenomenal. it gives this school. the best protection. not only this school, _ this community, the households they're living with. the families of the remaining 20% are unsure for a variety of reasons. some of the concerns they've expressed are around, if their child has an allergy, how would they react

to this vaccine? some of them are worried about of the side effects. some of them want to wait and see. at another school, we're back at the hans price academy in weston—super—mare. vaccinations start here next week. and today there is the chance to question bbc breakfast regulars, dr chris smith and professor linda bauld. hello. what studies have actually been done into the effects of the vaccines - when used in children? they looked at the safety, the side effects, and also whether they were effective. and they found the vaccines were very effective against the children developing covid, or any negative outcomes. and they also found that the side effects for those young people in those trials were really minor and similar to what you would have found for older teens and people in their 205. so that's the kind of original basis. and then what we've moved into is the next phase, where there's millions of teenagers around the world that are being followed up

after they've had their vaccines. it's fair to say that all medicines have side effects. this new set of vaccines is no exception. but what we're striving for in medicine are side effects that happen very, very rarely, and certainly not more often than if you were to go and catch the infection. and that's been the critical thing that we've noticed here. what's the best way for our families, our children, - our parents to really engage with this discussion, - find out facts rather than perhaps finding out dubious things - from the internet - which are less helpful? the best thing to do is advise parents and young people to look at good websites. and in the uk the nhs websites, which vary across the devolved nations, and then also just the gov.uk website, which has a lot of information about vaccines. are there anybody that you would recommend not doubt the jab? i there will be a small number of people who, for reasons of say blood clotting or bleeding disorders, they can't have the vaccine.

but those people are very, very rare. most people don't have that problem, and a good rule of thumb is if you can have a flu vaccine in a year, then you can have this vaccine. you know, i'm quite young. and we sort of heard all the way through the pandemic that - there's not a lot to worry about with you guys. - why bother with the vaccine i at our age, is what i hear a lot of around the school? cody, that's a really good question. what i would say is we must recognise, particularly when we have high rates of infection in the community, that young people can still develop covid. even though only a small proportion of them will become unwell, there are young people, including in the 12 to 15—year—old age group around the world, who've last their lives as a result of this disease, even if they're tiny numbers. there are also some rare side effects of the disease itself, like multisystem inflammatory disease, we don't fully understand, but does occur in a small proportion of school—age children who develop covid. you can't become severely unwell with coronavirus

if you don't catch it. and if very few people in society are passing on the infection, there's a lower risk that anyone is going to catch it. so we can all do our bit by being vaccinated and staying vaccinated, to keep the level of circulation of the virus as low as possible. and this not only protects people who can't be vaccinated, or don't respond to a vaccine, but it also reduces the likelihood that we are going to get a variants of the virus that could do even nastier things to us. how many doses of the vaccine are we going to take? - good question, oscar. so at the moment for 12 to 15—year—olds we're only rolling out the first dose of the vaccine. that's also the case for 16 to 17—year—olds. that will provide really good protection in that age group. but we also know the more vulnerable 12 to 15—year—olds, or those who are living with somebody who is clinically vulnerable, will get their second dose quite soon. and that's an eight week gap. most of the heavy lifting from vaccination, most of the protection that you get, comes from exposure

to that first dose. it's crucial, the first dose of the vaccine. the second dose consolidates and builds on the protection you get from the first dose. so that first dose is going to give a lot of people a lot of very good protection very quickly, and that might be enough. we just have to watch and wait. and more information enables people to make more informed choices. cheers, guys. bye! - our thanks as always to chris and linda _ our thanks as always to chris and linda for— our thanks as always to chris and linda for their time and their invaluable advice. always good to hear from — invaluable advice. always good to hear from young students asking those _ hear from young students asking those questions. far more direct questions — those questions. far more direct questions than we ask. liz, we met you a _ questions than we ask. liz, we met you a couple — questions than we ask. liz, we met you a couple of weeks ago when term started. _ you a couple of weeks ago when term started, testing started. i described you then as the sergeant major_ described you then as the sergeant major organising the testing. you have got— major organising the testing. you have got a — major organising the testing. you have got a new round organising the jabs _ have got a new round organising the jabs what _ have got a new round organising the jabs. what is going to happen in the next few— jabs. what is going to happen in the next few days? we jabs. what is going to happen in the next few days?—

going to ask you and i see aiden is there with you. tell us about aidan. he is absolutely amazing and so funny and trying to fist bump the cameraman because that is his new favourite trick, but he's absolutely brilliant. two years old and a wonderful human being and we are so excited to have him in ourfamily. there is a story attached. can you take us back through your history to his birth on the decisions taken? sure. we found out quite late, about 34 weeks that it was likely that he would be born with down syndrome and during that time before he was born we had a void in the bush and three times in of fear and medical information and felt like we were being encouraged and then he was born at 36 weeks at a time you could have still been aborted and now we have still been aborted and now we have aided in our lives, the disconnect between what we were told our lives would be and what our

lives are, we feel so strongly that this law needs to change to enable a narrative to be in place where women feel empowered to welcome children like aidan and people like aidan don't feel discriminated against and don't feel discriminated against and don't feel discriminated against and don't feel of lesser value. i don't feel discriminated against and don't feel of lesser value.— don't feel of lesser value. i know ou are don't feel of lesser value. i know you are the _ don't feel of lesser value. i know you are the proud _ don't feel of lesser value. i know you are the proud mother- don't feel of lesser value. i know you are the proud mother of- don't feel of lesser value. i know you are the proud mother of two| don't feel of lesser value. i know - you are the proud mother of two boys and i know that you see that as really relevant in this decision—making process. really relevant in this decision-making process. yes, absolutely- _ decision-making process. yes, absolutely. i've _ decision-making process. yes, absolutely. i've got _ decision-making process. yes, absolutely. i've got two - decision-making process. yes, absolutely. i've got two boys, l decision—making process. is: absolutely. i've got two boys, tom who is four and aidan, who is two years old and i love and value both my boys and they are amazing in their unique ways and you know, i just really find it so strange that the law does not value them equally and that the same rights and protections are not afforded to aidan as his brother tom and ijust really hope that we change the law today and that aidan grows up knowing he is equal to his brother and is valuable. it’s

an investigation has found that tenants are being evicted due to rent arrears built up during the pandemic — despite a government commitment that coronavirus would not leave anyone without a home. analysis of 270 possession orders issued by courts in england and wales this summer, found that in one third of cases, covid was stated as the reason for the missing payments. michael calder is a musician and pre—pandemic a guitar teacher. my work was all based around contact with people, in and out of people's houses daily. as he prepared for his son's birth, the country went into lockdown and his income plummeted. michael fell into rent arrears and has now been served with an eviction notice. it's kind of like weighing up, when can i meet my rent, put food on the table, you know, paying the bills, gas and electricity? and bit by bit the moneyjust

increased and decreased to the point where i did just end up in arrears. there was no way around it. since the ban on evictions was lifted, landlords have been rushing to county courts seeking permission for bailiffs to evict their tenants. of the 270 possession orders analysed by the bureau of investigativejournalism, one third of them, 88 cases, explicitly cited covid as the reason why rent arrears had arisen. what strikes you about sitting in the hearings is exactly how short they are. people are losing their homes in a matter of minutes. that's because the law is really clear. if you owe at least two months of rent arrears, then the landlord will almost certainly get a possession order. onejudge told the bbc, however, that some tenants have taken advantage of the evictions ban and had simply refused to pay the rent. well, i had to wait six months. landlord michelle dighton is owed a fortune by tenants she can't get rid of due to the eviction ban

and court delays. i was still having to pay my mortgages, look after the kids. and it's just really frustrating that no one wants to give me an update on when i should get my own property back. ministers in westminster say they took unprecedented action to keep people in their homes, and with the economy reopening, it was now time to deliver a fair rental market. what this investigation highlights, however, is that both landlords and tenants feel the system is not fair. michael buchanan, bbc news. and we will keep following up on that in the coming weeks when mum of two jane was diagnosed with cancer in march 2020, her family had to face the fear of her illness, and the isolation of lockdown simultaneously. to keep her children's spirits up, jane told them stories about dragons, that she'd created

when they were young. after being told she was cancer—free last august, jane has now published the tales, to raise money for cancer charities. she's with us now. first up, people want to know, how are you stop you have been up the mountain and down the mountain and a bit of a journey. fish mountain and down the mountain and a bit of a journey-— bit of a journey. an absolute roller-coaster. _ bit of a journey. an absolute roller-coaster. remission i bit of a journey. an absolute - roller-coaster. remission comes with roller—coaster. remission comes with its own challenges but i'm really happy to get the news last august. paint is a picture of the moment in time and i'm not sure when it was, because your dayjob is in administration and the university and lo and behold, there you are spending time with the children and what happens? you have a moment of creative splendour? what happens? it was all wrapped up with a cancer journey which started in january last year when i went to the doctors with a lump on my neck and they started doing diagnostic test and we thought it was a thyroid issue but

it turned out to be lymphoma so i was diagnosed with that in march of 2020 and started chemotherapy two weeks later as we went into lockdown. and we have a hill near is that we think is shaped like a dragon and when the children were younger i used to make up stories about the ten magical dragons live halfway up the hill and how they had adventures near where we lived. and they loved them and they carried on over the years through our family and as i face the diagnosis i thought i could get those in rhyme and that would be a good thing to distract me through chemotherapy but then we face lockdown and home—schooling and i did not realise the impact chemotherapy would have and i could not think of anything creative going on so when i have the all clear i set myself challenges to get life back on track and one of those was to do 40 walks by the end of the year and the idea started coming about the dragon stories and i thought, i've got to take this further. t0

a lot of authors and they have motivation for writing and dreaming things up. it's an emotional journey. i can only imagine, seeing the book existing and i can see you having a sip of water, which i understand, and it is emotional. there's a lot wrapped up in it. and i think it was such a shock having chemotherapy during the lockdown. in that time i did nothing for anyone else and we were an insular family and once i thought i wanted to put the walks out there and i want to see if dragons existed in their areas and are there any clues that they have left behind? find areas and are there any clues that they have left behind?— areas and are there any clues that they have left behind? and they do, don't they? — they have left behind? and they do, don't they? yes. — they have left behind? and they do, don't they? yes, it's _ they have left behind? and they do, don't they? yes, it's where - they have left behind? and they do, don't they? yes, it's where they - don't they? yes, it's where they live. don't they? yes, it's where they live- what _ don't they? yes, it's where they live. what is _ don't they? yes, it's where they live. what is next, _ don't they? yes, it's where they live. what is next, because - don't they? yes, it's where they i live. what is next, because you've done the books _ live. what is next, because you've done the books and _ live. what is next, because you've done the books and you _ live. what is next, because you've done the books and you did - live. what is next, because you've done the books and you did the i done the books and you did the walks, amazingly, so what next? we've published five of them and it is the christmas one next and i'm very excited. that is coming out in
