welcome to bbc news. this morning the government said it had no plans to bring in the army to ease the queue at the petrol pumps. tonight the bbc understands that the government is still seriously considering whether to use the military to chive tankers. while there are calls for essential workers are to be given priority to buy fuel, some parts of the uk are experiencing no shortages at all. according to the haulage industry, there are at least as many petrol tankers on the roads now as there were before this current crisis began. frustration in london. i've been here ages- _ frustration in london. i've been here ages- we _ frustration in london. i've been here ages. we are _ frustration in london. i've been here ages. we are waiting - frustration in london. i've been here ages. we are waiting to i frustration in london. i've been l here ages. we are waiting to ours and people — here ages. we are waiting to ours and people just go around and straight — and people just go around and straight here.— and people just go around and straiaht here. , ,

they don't need, it will be difficult for all suppliers to replenish stocks to normal levels. unlike things like food or toilet roll, the amount of fuel you can stockpile is generally limited by the size of your fuel tank. once it is full, the panic is overfor a the size of your fuel tank. once it is full, the panic is over for a few days or a couple of weeks and the government and industry are hoping, expecting that means the spike in demand will ease in the coming days. like the fuel crisis 20 years ago, the army is standing by. for now, helping to train a new civilian drivers but the government tonight says they could yet be called on for deliveries but we hope that won't be necessary. irate deliveries but we hope that won't be necessa . ~ ., deliveries but we hope that won't be necessa . ~ . , a, , necessary. we are bringing mod trainers into _ necessary. we are bringing mod trainers into accelerate - necessary. we are bringing mod trainers into accelerate some i necessary. we are bringing mod trainers into accelerate some of| necessary. we are bringing mod i trainers into accelerate some of the hgv training. we have to clear a backlog of people who want to carry out those tests there is definitely a role for the mod and we are doing that but we always have a civil contingencies section is that always

drivers return? there is a driver shortage across the eu. according to the most recent data, poland has a gap of 124,000, germany after 60000 and france, 15,000, although these figures may well have changed. it means there is competition for drivers. , ., , ., drivers. there should be an extremely _ drivers. there should be an extremely good _ drivers. there should be an extremely good package i drivers. there should be an extremely good package in| drivers. there should be an i extremely good package in their salaries and the shortage of drivers is everywhere so why should they go to the uk instead of another country? to the uk instead of another count ? ~' to the uk instead of another count ? ~ , ., country? some like this attach driver sceptical. _ country? some like this attach driver sceptical. the _ country? some like this attach driver sceptical. the time i country? some like this attach driver sceptical. the time is i country? some like this attach l driver sceptical. the time is too short for us _ driver sceptical. the time is too short for us drivers _ driver sceptical. the time is too short for us drivers to _ driver sceptical. the time is too short for us drivers to go i driver sceptical. the time is too short for us drivers to go to i short for us drivers to go to engiand~ _ short for us drivers to go to engiand~ i— short for us drivers to go to england. i have a contract with my comparry— england. i have a contract with my company and i work here for 30 years and i_ company and i work here for 30 years and i not _ company and i work here for 30 years and i not going to england for three months _ and i not going to england for three months. ~ ., , ' . and i not going to england for three months. ~ . , , . ., ., months. what is the effect on other industries? — months. what is the effect on other industries? petrol— months. what is the effect on other industries? petrol isn't _ months. what is the effect on other industries? petrol isn't the - months. what is the effect on other industries? petrol isn't the only i industries? petrol isn't the only industry affected by this, from chicken and milkshake shortages to other industries saying they are

it was a change in public behaviour that was needed to solve the problem andindeed that was needed to solve the problem and indeed it might take some time even then. the big revelation of 20 years ago, i remember sitting and watching peoples jaws dropped when the industry said, you do realise, don't you, that you can get things back to normal tomorrow and it will take three weeks to get the situation back to normal because it is a finely balanced, complicated system. is a finely balanced, complicated s stem. ~ , , is a finely balanced, complicated s stem. ~ ,., system. with the new bases and seedin: system. with the new bases and speeding up _ system. with the new bases and speeding up the _ system. with the new bases and speeding up the whole - system. with the new bases and speeding up the whole hgv i system. with the new bases and i speeding up the whole hgv licence process, how long do you reckon this will take to filter through? weill. process, how long do you reckon this will take to filter through?— will take to filter through? well, i think the phases _ will take to filter through? well, i think the phases and _ will take to filter through? well, i think the phases and the - will take to filter through? well, i think the phases and the drivers l think the phases and the drivers from abroad may help alleviate more quickly other problems in the supply chains because those drivers require hgv licence, tanker drivers are a different kettle of fish. they require specialist training and familiarity with the system. you cannot just familiarity with the system. you cannotjust drop soldiers or unqualified drivers from abroad into a tanker. it is dangerous stuff. it

is a dangerous vehicle carrying highly flammable loads so i don't think that is going to be the thing that solves this problem. the problem will be getting public behaviour back to where it actually meets the capacity of the supply chain. we will benefit from the systems except in one particular instance, they are not resilient. they are very vulnerable to this sort of search —— search buying and it is when people have the same problem. it is when people have the same roblem. ., ., i. . ., ., problem. how do you change that ublic problem. how do you change that public perception _ problem. how do you change that public perception and _ problem. how do you change that public perception and coax - problem. how do you change that public perception and coax them l problem. how do you change that i public perception and coax them back into behaving more normally? i can into behaving more normally? i can onl no into behaving more normally? i can only go back _ into behaving more normally? i can only go back 20 _ into behaving more normally? i can only go back 20 years _ into behaving more normally? i can only go back 20 years and - into behaving more normally? i can only go back 20 years and over the same suggestion that happened then, which is, you need visible leadership. is it, you ask yourself? that point, it took the prime ministers standing about the industry and fans of the cameras, explaining to people with the problem was and that it might take some time to resolve but it needed

everybody�*s cooperation. all we are getting now is finger waving, exultation is to behave ourselves. after 18 months of behaving ourselves and being good citizens and working hard to cooperate, people are finding that rather annoying. they needed to be treated like adults. i suspect they will react. , ., ,, ., , like adults. i suspect they will react. ,, . , , ., react. do you think the army should be called in — react. do you think the army should be called in already _ react. do you think the army should be called in already or _ react. do you think the army should be called in already or not? - react. do you think the army should be called in already or not? the i be called in already or not? the ians be called in already or not? the plans must _ be called in already or not? the plans must be _ be called in already or not? the plans must be in _ be called in already or not? tia: plans must be in place, it be called in already or not? tt2 plans must be in place, it would be foolish and ludicrous and frankly it would be wrong but they will have a limited supply of people with the right qualifications.— limited supply of people with the right qualifications. thank you very much. we will find out how this story and others will be covered in tomorrow's

papers at 10:30pm and 11:30pm. at the labour party conference, anna mcdonald has resigned from the shadow front bench in the middle of the conference in brighton. in a letter to sir keir starmer, the former shadow secretary of state for employment rights launched a blistering attack on the labour leader saying, blistering attack on the labour leadersaying, ijoined blistering attack on the labour leader saying, ijoined yourfront bench team on the basis of the pledges that you made in leadership campaign to bring about unity within the party and contain our commitment to socialist policies. in response, sir keir starmer said, my focus and that of the whole party

is on winning the next general election. andrew mcdonald has been given more details about his decision to resign in the last couple of hours. i believe we need to listen to each other�*s views and there is very little space for that at the moment. i would hope that if anything comes of my decision today, that there will be a change of approach because it is the only way to secure power. we need to do this in a much more inclusive way. i want to see sir keir starmer in number ten and i hope that he will hear what i have to say and make these changes. and push this agenda. it is desperate for our people. they are the ones who have suffered the consequences of this pandemic and increased national insurance contributions, working people receiving universal credit and being robbed of this £20 uplift from it is them who will have

the problems of eating and heating this winter. as we go into this winter, if the national minimum wages not raised, if universal credit is not restored, they will have the most appalling winter and those are the people that i am thinking about and it is uncomfortable for me. but i think it is essential that i do it. the resignation comes on a day that labour has pledged to spend 28 men and pounds a year and what it calls the green industries of the future. shadow chancellor told the party conference in brighton that the money would be spent on projects like electric vehicle batteries and wind technology. she also pledged to phase out business rates and to force a giant tech firms to pay more tax. turbulence, labour has been battered

some other news coming into us as regarding the singer, r kelly who has been convicted by a jury in new york of grooming and sexually abusing underage girls, boys and women as far back as in the mid—1990s. specific charges he has been found guilty of racketeering and six trafficking. he now faces a minimum of 15 years in prison. we have looked back at the trial. to the world, he was the king of r and b and one of the bestselling music artists of all time. to his victims, he was their worst nightmare. a five—week trial in new york laid out in detail how the singer ran a decade—long criminal enterprise. prosecutors said he used a network of employees and close associates to recruit underage girls, boys and women for six. 45 witnesses gave evidence that he was

a predator who exploited his fame and to entrap, control and punish people. many aspiring singers. the accusations swirled around him for decades and reached fever pitch after a documentary focused on the accounts of his accusers. one of those women testified in court. she was one of the first to come forward and released this video detailing her experiences with him atjust 16 years old. i her experiences with him at 'ust 16 ears old. . , her experiences with him at 'ust 16 ears old. .,, . . her experiences with him at 'ust 16 ears old. .,, ., . ., , ., years old. i was a victim of sexual abuse, mental— years old. i was a victim of sexual abuse, mental abuse _ years old. i was a victim of sexual abuse, mental abuse and - years old. i was a victim of sexual abuse, mental abuse and physical abuse. all at the hands of our kelly. in abuse. all at the hands of our kell . . �* �* kelly. in an interview with the bbc, katie jones — kelly. in an interview with the bbc, katie jones always _ kelly. in an interview with the bbc, katie jones always shared - kelly. in an interview with the bbc, katie jones always shared her - kelly. in an interview with the bbc, | katie jones always shared her story. katiejones always shared her story. she said many were black women who have their voices didn't matter in society. have their voices didn't matter in socie . ., ., , society. later when i was introduced to one of the — society. later when i was introduced to one of the girls, _ society. later when i was introduced to one of the girls, that _ society. later when i was introduced to one of the girls, that he - society. later when i was introduced to one of the girls, that he told - society. later when i was introduced to one of the girls, that he told me. to one of the girls, that he told me he trained, since she was 1a, those were his words. i so that she was dressed like me and she was saying

accommodating all the way back to the 1990s. rumours had swirled around him for such a long time and yet he was able to keep going on as a revered, celebrated artist, an award—winning artist in the industry, so certainly, this, for them, isjustice, that they industry, so certainly, this, for them, is justice, that they have been waiting for. it is certainly another moment that the justice system, when sexual assault allegations are notoriously hard to try so again, here we have a court of law siding with the victims who came forward so an absolute, i think, many victims and survivors of sexual assault will see this as another milestone on their way for real accountability. bow this mean for his music catalogue? i bow this mean for his music catalogue?— bow this mean for his music catalogue? bow this mean for his music cataloaue? ., ., ., ._ catalogue? i do not have the day on sentencing. — catalogue? i do not have the day on

relations and leads. thank you for joining us. i imagine you are not particularly happy about this. hat particularly happy about this. ijrt particularly happy about this. ijrt particularly and i don't think there would be many students who are extremely ecstatic about this as well. after 18 months of the deal with online learning and all of the stresses associated with lockdown and covid—19 was simultaneously having no renegotiating theirfees and very abnormal causes. i think a lot of students already are infuriated by the situation they find themselves placed in with fees that are unreduced and having to pay more every month out of their pay cheques. if more every month out of their pay cheuues. , ., more every month out of their pay cheuues. ,, ., ., ~' more every month out of their pay cheuues. ,, ., ., ,, ., more every month out of their pay cheuues. ,, ., ., ~ ., , cheques. if you look at the figures, the physical— cheques. if you look at the figures, the physical study _ cheques. if you look at the figures, the physical study says _ cheques. if you look at the figures, the physical study says it _ cheques. if you look at the figures, the physical study says it cost i cheques. if you look at the figures, the physical study says it cost the l the physical study says it cost the government so much money a year to run the scheme. 88% of students will never repay their loans in full and

4445% of students will have their loans written off. this just isn't viable, is it in its present form. you are looking at the big picture, but stopped by those is what governs her to do, surely it. this is my priorities and this is a moment with her talking about levelling up and giving graduates more opportunities and they're taking more of their pay cheques when other large companies like amazon sales and about 50% of the [ash of the pandemic, they're not paying a significantly high amount of tax. and do not forget, thisjust amount of tax. and do not forget, this just loan repayments. amount of tax. and do not forget, thisjust loan repayments. we've this just loan repayments. we've also thisjust loan repayments. we've also been clobbered by tax rates as well. so saying is not viable, it was theresa may's government that increased the threshold originally and so it's not an alien prospect to

have the threshold set that high. they say this will affect lower income earners ultimately more than richer ones as well. which presumably seems intrinsically unfair also. presumably seems intrinsically unfair also-— unfair also. absolutely and interesting _ unfair also. absolutely and interesting thing _ unfair also. absolutely and interesting thing about i unfair also. absolutely and interesting thing about the j unfair also. absolutely and i interesting thing about the range unfair also. absolutely and - interesting thing about the range of options in terms of this in the workplace, one of those is that a lot of internships which are usually lower paid than full—time jobs and they will be hit significantly by this because their pay will fall at the lower end of this threshold and so, there will be in thresholds will be paying more every month out of their pay cheque when they weren't expecting to. and as i reiterate, after 18 months of painful tuition fees for university courses which have not been their normal standards, this feels like another

it's out of higher education. iii it's out of higher education. if this were impose, what time from? anyone is behind the scheme for the past eight years? nine years? i past eight years? nine years? i think that's one of the issues. the team education history, the review, where the recommendations they had was to reduce the threshold, but the real issue here is that it can't be applied or how to apply retrospectively. those of taking out loans, for them to take out more loans, for them to take out more loans under the belief that's going to be a £27,000 repayment threshold in the sea change to £20,000, that changes the fundamental nature of the contract between them. so, it will be very challenging to actually apply that retrospectively. . but his huge detrimental effects on the income of graduates.

satellites that have given us this essential eye on earth. was stuck to the deputy director of this and hejoins his life. and just listening and watching the report there, —joins listening and watching the report there, — joins us live. the important satellite and that seems to be the case. important satellite and that seems to be the case-— to be the case. certainly the longest-running _ to be the case. certainly the longest-running series i to be the case. certainly the longest-running series of. longest—running series of observations satellites and has to think about how long it's been working, starting off in 1972 and it merely brackets my whole life. as a wonderful record, rather than just being about exploring the universe, you turn your attention to the world below as well. as of the most important thing on its own, with sentinel series and this and that.

change and referring to these kinds of images and it's really important part of this because if you do not have the over perspective, it is much less intuitive to see what is happening. you can do it, but to become so much harder because settlor gives you picture and hundreds of images a day and the entire earth every two weeks, it's an incredible way of monitoring what is happening on the ground in a vital part of her arsenal for fighting climate change. i vital part of her arsenal for fighting climate change. i remember that not only — fighting climate change. i remember that not only did _ fighting climate change. i remember that not only did the _ fighting climate change. i remember that not only did the bigger - fighting climate change. i remember that not only did the bigger picture l that not only did the bigger picture but also tiny things, down to the tiniest creatures of maps as well. you can see this and satellite is bigger than the average house and so it is as sharp and some maps if you going to satellite mode, but that's because you want to get a lot of the

like gold, and pork. targeting them, recruiting them, isolating them to follow his abusive methods, punishing them if you did not follow his rules to the letter, giving many of them genital herpes and victimising them by recording many of them on child pornography tapes. not treating them like gold. araceli thought he could get away with all of this, but he did not. despite the fact that he thought he could control all of his victims, he was wrong. many of his victims have the courage to speak up until their truth under oath in the court of law that i am very proud of my clients who agreed to testify in this case and i thank them for trusting me, law enforcement and the jury to find the truth.
