including training up more drivers and addressing the backlog of driving tests. it is thought around 40,000 are still waiting for their test. it is thought around 40,000 are still waiting for their test. 0ur transport correspondent, caroline davies, reports. chicken, milkshakes, now petrol. a shortage of lorry drivers continues to bite across the uk, and as the problem grows, there is more pressure on the government to make changes. bp reported they were having trouble getting their petrol to some pumps. there is enough fuel, just not enough drivers to take it to the petrol stations. although the problem only affected a small number of sites, people worried that they could run out, began to buy more than they normally would, leading to huge queues, despite the government reassurances. now one firm, eg group, who run 400 petrol stations, have said they are limiting each customer to £30 of fuel, excluding hgv drivers and emergency services. there is plenty of fuel and the issue is obviously the lead time of getting it from terminal to forecourt, and we ask the motorist to be sensible, do not alter your refuelling patterns. if you have a need to refuel,

obviously go and get fuel, but bearing in mind that some of the sites, you might be in a queue, so keep a little bit of fuel in your vehicle in order to drive to an alternative site if you have to. but there's plenty of fuel around and people should not panic buy. until now, the government has resisted calls to provide temporary visas to eu drivers to help fill the gap as it has argued it does not want the uk lorry drivers to drop out because they are undercut by cheaper eu labour. however, last night, the government said it was looking at temporary measures, although it stressed these would be strictly time—limited. there is increasing pressure to take some action, particularly to stop the crisis getting worse in the run—up to christmas. caroline davies, bbc news. the director general of the confederation of british industry said they were very pleased to hear the government is planning to introduce temporary emergency visas. it's a big relief. hopefully it is going to happen,

and it is a huge relief. we have been calling for it for three months. we could see this problem coming, and more problems coming. and so it is a shame the government needed queues at the pumps to move, but move i hope they have. and it will help. look, there are no perfect answers to all of these things. we have got labour shortages, notjust in hgv drivers, but across the economy, we have got supply chain problems, we have got energy problems, and i think what we need is the government to grip these things with us in business and get ahead of them rather than behind them. that is what we did so well during the pandemic with the science community. we got ahead of problems, we worked together, and fast. this one is very late, it has taken a bit of a crisis to force the hand, but i really hope the government follows through on what we're hearing, because that would provide some relief and get us started again. let's speak to our political correspondent ione wells. what is the latest from the government? we what is the latest from the government?— what is the latest from the covernment? ~ . , . government? we are expecting the government — government? we are expecting the government later _ government? we are expecting the government later this _ government? we are expecting the government later this weekend - government? we are expecting the government later this weekend willj government later this weekend will formally announce a temporary visa

scheme to make it easier for foreign drivers to come and work in the uk. they are due to announce further details tomorrow, but it is expected to be temporary, allowing visas for “p to be temporary, allowing visas for up to 5000 drivers to come and work in the uk. this has caused tensions within government itself, as there are figures in government pushing the idea that the whole point of their post—brexit immigration policy was to not make companies rely on cheaperforeign labour. there are also concerns about the precedent this will set for other industries asking to have visa rules relaxed to allow more workers to come from abroad and overseas as well. we are now expecting the government will now expecting the government will now go ahead with this visa scheme and they will announce a raft of longer—term measures that they hope will tackle the crisis. for example, how to tackle the backlog of testing hgv drivers and attracting more people to work in the industry, through things like better pay and conditions as well. i don't expect

that the government have any plans to use the military to come in and help with the immediate crisis we are seeing in terms of the driver shortage, but certainly the visa scheme, i think, shortage, but certainly the visa scheme, ithink, will shortage, but certainly the visa scheme, i think, will be their main solution to tackling the short—term issues on this. solution to tackling the short-term issues on this.— issues on this. interesting about the military _ issues on this. interesting about the military because _ issues on this. interesting about the military because it _ issues on this. interesting about the military because it has - issues on this. interesting about the military because it has been| the military because it has been discussed. some of things are longer—term on the issue is right now. i'll run confident it will be enough to get things sorted in the immediate term? —— are the government confident? it immediate term? -- are the government confident? it remains to be seen. government confident? it remains to be seen- they _ government confident? it remains to be seen. they are _ government confident? it remains to be seen. they are confident - government confident? it remains to be seen. they are confident at - government confident? it remains to be seen. they are confident at the i be seen. they are confident at the moment but the situation is not that there is a shortage of fuel, but a shortage of drivers transporting the fuel, and have been reiterating their plea for people not to go out and panic buy unless they absolutely needed to. government source told me this morning they are closely monitoring data on which petrol stations are running out fuel and if that rapidly changes, they may need to look at all the measures to

tackle the problem, but they're currently hopeful this visa scheme will be their primary short—term solution, though what is unclear, as you say, is how that will tackle the issue we are seeing right now in terms of the queues outside petrol stations, the issue some are having getting fuel given the visa scheme will take a few weeks to come into force because drivers need time for visas to processed and need to be recruited as well.— thank you. joining me now isjohn poliquin, director of pertemps driving academy. they train lorry drivers. thank you forjoining us. how quickly can somebody train and qualify to be hgv driver? in somebody train and qualify to be hgv driver? ., ., , ., ., ., driver? in a utopian world, that could be achieved _ driver? in a utopian world, that could be achieved within - driver? in a utopian world, that could be achieved within two i driver? in a utopian world, that - could be achieved within two weeks, but there are many factors that go into that, from drivers having to undertake medicals, apply for licences and then get tests. find undertake medicals, apply for licences and then get tests. and the tests are an —

in return, the usjustice department dropped its extradition request. over the past three years, my life has been turned upside down. it was a disruptive time for me as a mother, a wife, and as a company executive. but i believe every cloud has a silver lining. it really was an invaluable experience in my life. huawei is the largest telecom equipment manufacturer in the world, but its success unnerved the trump administration, which accused the company of using its technology to spy on the us. meng wanzhou's detention was all the more controversial given she is the daughter of huawei's founder, and it prompted the arrest of two canadian citizens in china — diplomat michael kovrig coverage and businessmen michael spavor —

in what the canadian government branded an act of hostage diplomacy. to the delight of the canadian prime minister, they have now been released as well. about 12 minutes ago, the aircraft carrying michael kovrig and michael spavor left chinese airspace and they are on their way home. they boarded at about 7:30 0ttawa time, along with dominic barton, canada's ambassador to china. meng wanzhou left canada on an air china flight bound for shen zen, but any prospect of a thaw in the adversarial relationship between the united states and china may prove to be short lived. huawei remains on a trade blacklist here and still faces charges of corporate espionage. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. prince andrew's us lawyers have accepted he has been served with legal papers alleging that he sexually assaulted

in cities across the country. 0ur europe editor, katya adler, sent this report from berlin. applause. relaxing on a friday evening after 16 years at the helm of the eu's most powerful country, angela merkel is relieved, perhaps, that it is almost all over. the migrant crisis, the euro crisis, four us presidents, five uk prime ministers, 100 eu summits and more during her time in office. hers will be a tough act to follow at home and on the world stage. many germans say they will miss the stoic, pragmatic politician nicknamed �*mummy�*. merkel is going to be strongly missed, i think so. i will miss merkel very much, because i am a fan of her. i think it will be very hard _

for every candidate who comes next, or the next chancellor to fulfil this role, - because there will always be this comparison to merkel. and at eu hq in brussels, there will also be a big merkel—sized hole. 0n the global landscape, i mean, it really matters and i think merkel was a very well respected leader, so everybody is looking at who is going to follow in her footsteps. of course, there is the potential for germany to take a dramatic new direction after 16 years of angela merkel, and that would be felt here and abroad. this is the eu's most influential country. but in the end, most germans are stability—hungry, and so the calls for radical change, while loud, are limited. what we're probably looking at here is �*change' but with a small c. this is the frontrunner to replace angela merkel, a centrist social democrat, currently germany's finance minister, seen as a safe pair of hands.

his closest rival is a europhile conservative from angela merkel�*s cdu party. and the green party candidate is tipped to win a powerful position in the next german government. the environment is a big issue in sunday's election and in crowds like these, you find a fair few merkel critics. nojustice! no peace! tens of thousands gathered in front of the german parliament today demanding change and accusing chancellor merkel of failing to prepare germany the challenging future ahead. but climate concerns are now for the in—tray of angela merkel�*s successor. this photo went viral last week after she visited a bird sanctuary, appearing far more relaxed than usual. the merkel era in german politics is drawing to a close. katya adler, bbc news, berlin. a book of condolence will be opened

in south london this morning in memory of the 28—year—old primary school teacher sabina nessa, who was attacked and killed a week ago. hundreds of mourners gathered for an emotional candlelit vigil in kidbrooke last night. more than 500 people gathered at pegler square, not far from where a wanted suspect was captured on cctv. let's speak to megan paterson, who's there for us now. what is the latest? good morning-mac, _ what is the latest? good morning-mac, as - what is the latest? good morning-mac, as you . what is the latest? good i morning-mac, as you say, what is the latest? good - morning-mac, as you say, the what is the latest? good _ morning-mac, as you say, the book of morning—mac, as you say, the book of condolence was brought here in our ago in a community centre in this area. staff told us they thought it was important to reopen and staff have even been within the police cordoned this morning, but they wanted people to have a space to share their reflections and sorrow in this book, which will be given to sabina nessa's family. people are still coming down to the scene to reflect, lay candles and flowers,

leave cards, and last night, as you mention, hundreds of people attended that vigil at the square not far from here to share their memories, and stand in solidarity with sabina nessa's family, and there were powerful speeches including from her sister, she described how the family has been left shattered by her death. the crowd gathered and said sabina nessa's name, saying it was important to remember hair and not forget her. this is a community reflecting on what has been a difficult week a lot of people who use this park to walk their dogs, to go on walks with their children, to enjoy the space. it has taken on a very different characteristic this week as it has been the centre of this investigation. police are keen to identify the man they have released the cctv footage of, he was seen last friday evening wear sabina nessa is heading to meet a friend. we know she cut through this park and she was not able to complete

this journey. and she was not able to complete thisjourney. police continuing and she was not able to complete this journey. police continuing to appeal for witnesses as the police investigation continues and the community here offering space in the community here offering space in the community centre for people to share their thoughts, for people to talk to each other to try different in terms of what has happened here, and we expect we will see a number of people coming down here today to share their thoughts and reflect on what has been a difficult week here. thank you. joining me now is alia butt from women will not be silenced — who atteneded the vigil last night. why did you attend the vigil. —— the vigil? in why did you attend the vigil. -- the viuil? . y why did you attend the vigil. -- the vitil? . y vigil? in solidarity, we were there to show sopport _ vigil? in solidarity, we were there to show support to _ vigil? in solidarity, we were there to show support to the _ vigil? in solidarity, we were there to show support to the family, . vigil? in solidarity, we were there| to show support to the family, but also very much to draw attention to the very important issue of violence against women and really think about it with the community, because that is what we need to address. it is not a problem of men or women, it is

very much an issue within society in the way that we think about women and men and i think that really begins at a very early age. we must think about the way boys and girls are educated about these things. i work in children's services in the nhs as a therapist and i hear more and more young women talking about the harassment they get from young boys, and this is very early on, actually. it is often swept under the carpet. you think about the legal system, the carpet. you think about the legalsystem, it the carpet. you think about the legal system, it fails more women every year, and the prosecution rate of rape is at an all—time low, and women rarely report rape, but also we understand that rohypnol is a class c drug, and it is used more frequently in the abuse and murdering of women. we are not addressing things like curb crawling, lots of young girls are

accosted or attempts are made to convince young girls to get into cars with much older men. we are not addressing these things. at the same time, defunding of essential services that would really help most men and women, domestic violence services have been cut a huge amount over the last ten years, they barely exist any more. at the same time, we have meditation services for men or even therapy services, we don't have those services in the way we used to and i don't think we ever had enough in the first place. these things are incredibly essential in understanding how to tackle problem of violence against women. you brou t ht of violence against women. you brought a _ of violence against women. you brought a lot — of violence against women. you brought a lot of _ of violence against women. you brought a lot of things into picture there and it is inevitably complicated picture. many factors are in it. in terms of targeting the people, though, that do take things

extreme, you talk about the curb callers, and there are people who will perpetrate violence. it is a minority, but it is an awful fact of life. how do you actually sorted that out? i life. how do you actually sorted that out? ~ , ., ., , that out? i think it is a minority, i atree, that out? i think it is a minority, i agree. but _ that out? i think it is a minority, i agree. but we _ that out? i think it is a minority, i agree, but we are _ that out? i think it is a minority, i agree, but we are hearing - that out? i think it is a minority, l i agree, but we are hearing about this more and more, aren't we, in the media? 0n this more and more, aren't we, in the media? on one hand, that is a very good thing, however, the fact that we are not really doing anything about it is very problematic, because in a way, it is effectively saying that this kind of thing is not going to be challenged in a way that it should be. of course, these individual people are criminalised, but the fact that as we have mentioned, curb calling, sexual harassment, and there are many other forms of sexual harassment that are not challenged in society. at the vigil yesterday, there were more conversations and

there were more conversations and there were more men there than previous vigils i have attended for women's issues. and there where more conversations, and the conversations were being spearheaded by men, and thatis were being spearheaded by men, and that is what we need to see more of, we need to seem people talking about this and being at the forefront of... ii this and being at the forefront of... . ., this and being at the forefront of... ., ,., this and being at the forefront of... ., y., ., this and being at the forefront of... ., , of... if i could ask you to pause for a moment. _ of... if i could ask you to pause for a moment. we _ of... if i could ask you to pause for a moment. we need - of... if i could ask you to pause for a moment. we need to - of... if i could ask you to pause for a moment. we need to say| of... if i could ask you to pause - for a moment. we need to say goodbye to viewers watching us around the world. goodbye unceasing. sorry, do pick up where you were.— pick up where you were. there are conversations _ pick up where you were. there are conversations we _ pick up where you were. there are conversations we need _ pick up where you were. there are conversations we need to - pick up where you were. there are conversations we need to be - pick up where you were. there are l conversations we need to be having. that is the key part, isn't it? it was interesting when you said there are more men attending the vigils, the whole thing of ally shipp, is that changing, do you think? and going back to right at the beginning of your answer there, saying about we are still not tackling the issues of curb crawling, what are the concrete measures that can be done?

alemanno i think having allies is an interesting concept. i alemanno i think having allies is an interesting concept.— interesting concept. i think it is more about _ interesting concept. i think it is more about understanding - interesting concept. i think it is more about understanding the| interesting concept. i think it is - more about understanding the role people play rather than being an ally of a woman or allies of women. we are all participants and obviously it is not all men, but men must have these conversations with each other and the way that we actually think about men and women in society has a huge impact. when we think about poverty, for example, far more women are at risk of poverty, single women are at the highest risk of poverty still, women with children suffer most. so even things like ending the uplift of universal credit, for example. 500,000 more women will be thrust into poverty, and that will increase the chances of violence against them, absolutely, it is completely categorically linked. also, the hike

in national insurance tax will hit women very significantly. the vast majority of children living with single parents, 90% of which are women, are in poverty, so all of these things impact the way women are treated, and it signifies the way women are treated as well. we are almost out of time, you said it is certain that violence against women will increase when the universal credit comes back down. why is it so certain? what is that based on?— why is it so certain? what is that based on? ~ ., ,, ., , . , based on? well, women... statistics show far more _ based on? well, women... statistics show far more women _ based on? well, women... statistics show far more women exchange - based on? well, women... statistics . show far more women exchange poverty than men, and the stats are significantly outweighed, of course, where women don't have any where to 90, where women don't have any where to go, do not have financial security, they are in domestically violent relationships, they have no way out. money is essential for domestic

violence services, and it has made a huge risk. we know most women who are murdered, who are viciously attacked by men, are in relationships with those men or have in past relationships with those men. so when women do not have the finances to put food on the table or find somewhere to live where they are safe, where they can take their children and they can feel safe, of course they are categorically at higher risk of being harmed. thank ou ve higher risk of being harmed. thank you very much _ higher risk of being harmed. thank you very much for _ higher risk of being harmed. thank you very much forjoining _ higher risk of being harmed. thank you very much forjoining us. - higher risk of being harmed. thank you very much forjoining us. time for a look at the weather with matt. this was the scene shot while ago. but there is sunshine coming through for some, beautiful scene in peebles in the scottish borders. but where you have sunshine or cloud, incredibly mild

out there, temperatures well above—average for the time of year. the red shows where it is well above—average, but we swap them for blues as we go into the middle part of the week, temperatures dropping below where would we met we would normally expect for this time of year. 0rton is on its way. not the moment, though, because we have plenty of cloud around but some sunshine breaking through and more sunshine breaking through and more sunshine coming through, the shetland islands will be wet in the next few hours, but the cloud in western areas could be thick enough for light rain or drizzle at times. most will stay dry today, and in the sunshine temperatures widely into the 20s. 20 to around 24 degrees in parts of england and wales, particularly in north wales and the midlands towards east anglia. tonight we have southerly winds, meaning a slightly more humid field strengthens and helps break up cloud more, but gives temperatures in the high side through tomorrow morning,
