good afternoon. the transport secretary has insisted there is no shortage of fuel and has urged drivers to fill up only when they need to. it is days after queues at some filling stations. the government has announced a temporary these are scheme for hgv drivers and poultry workers in an attempt to limit supply disruption to food and

fuel in the run—up to christmas. the situation shows a complete lack of planning from the government, keir starmer says. panic buying has caused chaos at petrol stations and for some to close. this didn't stop because of a lack of fuel. initially supply issues were caused by lack of tanker drivers. that has highlighted a wider hgv driver shortage, a long—standing problem that has got worse. the government resisted the idea of temporary visas for overseas workers, however 5000 will now be made available. i workers, however 5000 will now be made available.— made available. i would have liked to have seen _ made available. i would have liked to have seen it _ made available. i would have liked to have seen it 4-macro _ made available. i would have liked to have seen it 4-macro months . made available. i would have liked i to have seen it 4-macro months ago. to have seen it li—macro months ago. it is too little, too late basically. it is too little, too late basically-— it is too little, too late basically. it is too little, too late basicall. , . ., , ., basically. other sectors have struggled — basically. other sectors have struggled to _ basically. other sectors have struggled to fill _ basically. other sectors have struggled to fill the - basically. other sectors have i struggled to fill the workforce. 5500 metres for poultry workers are being introduced. —— 5000 500 visas. for the smaller guys, their smaller

worth remembering sabina nessa was last seen on friday, the 17th of september. she was making what should have been a 5—minute walk through a park to a pub stop her body was found the park. several hundred people attended an event in her memory. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, says he will "talk to" his deputy, angela rayner, after she referred to borisjohnson and conservative ministers as "a bunch of scum." ms rayner has refused to apologise for the remarks, which she made at a reception at the party's conference in brighton. 0ur deputy political editor vicki young reports. yesterday it was all smiles. sir keir starmer and his deputy working closely together, both with plenty of criticisms of the conservative government. but angela rayner isn't someone who holds back. at a reception last night,

she launched a fiery attack on borisjohnson, calling him and his c olleagues " scum" today she repeated the insults. is that really the standard of political debate you want for this country? do you stand by your remarks? i think borisjohnson is a racist, misogynist and homophobic guy, and he needs to apologise for his comments he has made in the past. tories accused her of dragging politics into the gutter and said she should apologise. i will apologise when boris apologises for saying the comments he has made. i will retract that he is scum. so, what does her boss make of that? look, angela said those words. she takes a different approach to me. we have different approaches to how we get our messages across. it is not language that i would have used. you are a courteous man. do you think she should apologise? that is a matter for angela, andrew. but would he order her to say sorry? i wouldn't have used those words, and i will talk to angela about it later on. there have been tensions between sir keir starmer and his deputy before, and he looked irritated today when he was being

questioned about her remarks. he has got other problems on the horizon, too, as he tries to persuade his party to change the way that it chooses its leader. he wants mps to have more control over which candidates can stand as leader. it would have prevented jeremy corbyn doing so, and supporters from his wing of the party are furious. it's disgraceful. it's not what the british people are interested in talking about. they want to know what's happening at at petrol stations, electricity, gas charges, what's happening to universal credit. not this right—wing manoeuvre. and i hope it's voted down today. sir keir is spending the weekend wrangling with internal party rules and an outspoken deputy. he will want to stamp his authority. vicki young, bbc news. in germany, the polls are open for voters to elect a new parliament, as the chancellor angela merkel steps down after 16 years in power. the results are expected to be tight, between armin laschet

of the conservative cdu party and 0laf sholtz, a centrist social democrat, and germany's current finance minister. at least 3 people have been killed and dozens of others injured in the us state of montana. several carriages left the tracks near the town of chester. the train had been travelling between seattle and chicago. us national transportation safety board has launched an investigation. the us look set to regain the ryder cup after another dominating display on day two at whistling straits. the home side have a record six—point lead over europe and need to win just 3.5 out of the 12 points on offer in today's singles to take the title. as defending champions, europe need to reach ia points to retain the gold cup. anthonyjoshua's reign as world heavyweight champion has ended

after defeat by 0leksandr usyk of ukraine. he was beaten on points in the fight at tottenham hotspur stadium. joshua said he couldn't see after round nine — but was confident he would �*bounce back.�* ade adedoyin reports. a rousing reception for one of sport's biggest names. big—time boxing back in britain with a bang, or so the partisan crowd expected. there was an air of celebration asjoshua made his way to the ring. he too revelling in the occasion. there were early signs that usyk might spoil the party with his dancing feet and incessant movement. whilstjoshua struggled to hit his elusive target, the ukrainian was punch—perfect. it was all starting to take a toll on the champion, who almost got stopped in the final round but was saved by the bell. so usyk, who played thejoker all week, gets the last laugh. as forjoshua, his thoughts immediately turned to a rematch.

it's tough, this game. fighting good fighters will never be easy. but i enjoy it. i feel like it will elevate me to the next level. if i wasn't fighting good fighters, then i don't think i'll improve. i feel like i'd have a false sense of confidence and when you do fight a good fighter you truly find out where you've been. as i've slowly been progressing, i've kind of got to a certain level. today wasn't my night. well done to my opponent. and then i'll get to go back to the drawing board and get it right the next time and then we'll go again. not the result that many expected. a hugely disappointing night for anthonyjoshua. he's lost his titles but his career is far from over. for now, though, the quest to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world will have to wait. ade adedoyin, bbc news, london. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. including coverage of the election in germany. the next news on bbc one is at 5:30pm.
