good afternoon. in the past few minutes, the prime minister said there appears to be tentative signs that the crisis of the pumps is beginning to ease. the petrol retailers association has also said that demand on four courts looks to be still significantly higher than normal, but not as high as it was last weekend. the army has been put on standby to help as the uk has seen another day of long queues and a pump closure. the demand has come after a fear of a driver shortage would hit fuel supply. here's a little of what boris johnson would hit fuel supply. here's a little of what borisjohnson had to say a short time ago. i little of what boris johnson had to say a short time ago.— little of what boris johnson had to say a short time ago. i want to say first of all how _ say a short time ago. i want to say first of all how much i _ say a short time ago. i want to say first of all how much i sympathise | first of all how much i sympathise with mutual who've been worried about their journeys,

with mutual who've been worried about theirjourneys, weathered about their journeys, weathered they'll about theirjourneys, weathered they'll be able to use their car or whatever it is. i know how frustrating it must have been to worry about a shortage of petrol. we are now starting to see the situation improve. you're hearing supplies are coming back into the four courts in the normal way, and i would just really urge everybody to go about their business in the normal way and fill up in the normal way when you really need it. and things are starting to improve. all we want to do is make sure we have all the preparations necessary to get through till christmas and beyond, notjust in supplying the petrol stations, but all parts of our supply chain. we've seen the global economy really sucking in a huge amount of demand at the moment for gas, for lorry drivers, first —

5:06 pm
logistic world, and there are fuel specialists and regiments, and within those regiments, there are fuel scarred drums. they drive the tankers — — fuel squadrons. they are used to bring fuel to the armoured vehicle and battle groups. so we've got people who are trained fuel specialists. that's what they do. therefore using them to help out the current situation is a natural thing to do. ., ., ~' current situation is a natural thing to do. ., ., ,, .,, , to do. you make it sound as if they could be used _ to do. you make it sound as if they could be used immediately. - to do. you make it sound as if they could be used immediately. it - to do. you make it sound as if they l could be used immediately. it seems there's a bit of delay. i'm not sure how the mod are attacking this, but there are certainly people who are trained fuel specialists. they would
5:07 pm
obviously have to find out how those tankers operate. there are a whole raft of other specialisations, including hdv drivers and so on, and they may retrain some of those people who aren't fuel specialists. they would obviously take longer to get ready to go. but we've certainly got 150 people who would be able to be relatively quickly moved in. the structures that enable to operate, they would maybe operate within the local forums or somewhere within the headquarters, depending on how the mod want to use them. but i would have thought, and i have no doubt in my own mind, so we're notjust

5:09 pm
the civil contingency process. it's well trusted and well used, and to be honest, would be very happy to be doing it. and the vaccination centres, the nightingale hospitals and so forth. thoroughly enjoyed doing what we were doing. just fascinating _ doing what we were doing. just fascinating because we've had other sectors, such as the food industry, saying if the haulage industry, if the fuel crisis means a member of the fuel crisis means a member of the army can be called in, why not others? ~ . , the army can be called in, why not others? . ., , , , others? was interesting in this, in a civilian world _ others? was interesting in this, in a civilian world of _ others? was interesting in this, in a civilian world of logistics, i others? was interesting in this, in a civilian world of logistics, what l a civilian world of logistics, what we've seen is this drive towards
5:10 pm
just—in—time logistics. i call it the business imperative of logistics. it's about driving up costs, stock levels and ensuring things arrive on the shelves so it's all there ready. in the military environment, we have a just in case system alongside a just—in—time system. the problem with the just—in—time system is it doesn't have the resilience to cope with these sort of crises. it doesn't have stocks sitting in various places. so, when you hit these... we have an enemy out there who's trying to destroy our stocks and so on. so we bring to the game an approach which is slightly different. but there's no reason at all why that shouldn't be used in other areas,
5:11 pm
but the size and shape of the military that i was in for 43 years is substantially less now than it was even ten years ago. so the logistic capability we have is much lower than it would've been ten or 20 years ago. there's reasons for that. we may be moving towards ai, but when it comes to this sort of stuff we need people and equipment. there's no reason why we shouldn't be using other sectors, but it's a government decision, not an mod decision. we respond to the requirements as the cabinet prime minister decides. i’m requirements as the cabinet prime minister decides.— minister decides. i'm 'ust going to exlain to minister decides. i'm 'ust going to explain to viewers i minister decides. i'm just going to explain to viewers what _ minister decides. i'm just going to explain to viewers what they're i explain to viewers what they're seeing as you're speaking. this is a tanker that has just been filled up
5:12 pm
in essex, and it's en route for delivery to petrol stations. another sign if it were needed that fuel is being moved from where it is to where it's needed. just one last question if i may, i know you don't want to get involved in politics, but labour is asking ? i suppose thatis but labour is asking ? i suppose that is fair enough. it’s but labour is asking ? i suppose that is fair enough. it's not going to solve the _ that is fair enough. it's not going to solve the problem _ that is fair enough. it's not going to solve the problem in its i to solve the problem in its entirely. i like to say all my service is more than a sticking plaster, but we're talking about obviously small numbers of people. they are part of a package, or whatever anyone feels about the government's approach. they're trying to find more drivers, trying to improve how people get through their testing and so on, looking to bring in people from abroad, and
5:13 pm
this is part of a package. ultimately, this is about trying to give confidence to people that they don't need to be getting up at three o'clock in the morning and trying to get petrol. if we behave sensibly, this is not a petrol problem, it's a distribution problem. there are ways of solving it. it won't go away quickly, many of which reasons have been debated on the media. but using military resources to alleviate the problem and direct the resources where they're most needed seems to be a sensible option and stuff like very good to talk to you. thank you so much, major general sir tim cross. just to be clear, the pictures we saw were a delivery in grays in essex. delegates in

brighton are preparing to vote on a motion proposing a £15 minimum age an hour. it comes after andy mcdonald quit hisjob. in response to claims of contentions within the labour party, sir keir starmer said winning is more important to him than party unity. he was speaking to our political editor laura kuenssberg.— our political editor laura kuenssbera. ., ., , kuenssberg. the government has reduced the _ kuenssberg. the government has reduced the country _ kuenssberg. the government has reduced the country to _ kuenssberg. the government has reduced the country to chaos i kuenssberg. the government has reduced the country to chaos as l kuenssberg. the government has i reduced the country to chaos as we crashed from crisis to crisis. in the government is not gripping this. i spoke to the haulage sector this morning, and businesses are beyond frustrated. these were their words, they said it's a government that's denying the problem and then blaming somebody else, then coming out with a half—baked plan. what i would do is give priority to key workers this

5:21 pm
member of the public, but she had set off to meet a friend in a bar near the park, and of course, she never arrived. this morning in court, the defendant's lawyers said his client indicated that he would be pleading not guilty to the murder charge. this is not a formal entering of a pleader. that will come later in the legal process. the next hearing in this case is on thursday, when the defendant will appear at the old bailey. june kelly re ”ortin. appear at the old bailey. june kelly reporting- the _ appear at the old bailey. june kelly reporting. the government - appear at the old bailey. june kelly reporting. the government has i reporting. the government has stripped the rail operator southeastern of its franchise because of what it called a serious breach of good faith. the company's services will not be publicly run. the decision was made after more than £25 million due to the department were not paid. caroline davies reports.
5:22 pm
it's not unusual for train lines to be renationalised. what is rare is when it's about trust. this morning, the government announced it would be taking over running lser's services after it found that £25 million had not been declared by the operator. the company itself is taking a large number of steps, and i'm sure they will be saying more about it. as far as i was concerned, no matter what steps they took, to breach the confidence of the public, to deliberately conceal payments due back to the taxpayer, is entirely unacceptable. the operator of last resort will take over the services from the 17th of october, but the government has ensured passengers and the railway�*s employees that the service and theirjobs will not change. the company that runs lser, go—ahead, has said that they have now repaid the £25 million. this morning, they said they were naturally disappointed with the decision, and that although the independent review is ongoing and the contracts concerned are highly complex,
5:23 pm
the group acknowledges that errors have been made in relation to the franchise. its stock price fell by more than 12% this morning. these issues go back to 2014. some have asked why they are only coming to light now, and could this be a bigger problem? if this matter is serious enough that it isjust beyond somebody getting it wrong in terms of accounting, and actually, there is evidence of wrongdoing on a criminal nature, then of course that must be looked into. it's really important that there's integrity in the railway system, and if there's wrongdoing, then i'm sure the criminal bodies will be involved. other operators, like northern and virgin east coast main line, have previously been renationalised, but it is rare for the government to strip a company its franchise. very, very unusual. you have to go back to 2003, and you find that it was the strategic rail authority doing the stripping, and it was the operators of southeastern that lost their franchise back then, so in some ways, history is repeating itself. the way the trains are run has
5:24 pm
changed dramatically during the pandemic, and today the government has shown they are following a different track. more now from the labour conference in brighton. proposing a minimum wage of £15 an hour. let's get more on this with iain watson. it is a s mbolic on this with iain watson. it is a symbolic vote, _ on this with iain watson. it is a symbolic vote, but _ on this with iain watson. it is a symbolic vote, but important l on this with iain watson. it is a | symbolic vote, but important in terms of what it says about party unity as much as anything else. there's a huge motion that will be voted on. one of the key points in that motion is there should be a minimum wage of £15 an hour. remember andy mcdonald left the shadow cabinet. it is highly likely
5:25 pm
this boat will endorse the £15 figure. not the current position, a minimum wage of at least £10. there will be symbolic to beat for keir starmer, but he's making it very clear that the party will look at this issue up to the next election, and from his point of view, this vote will not be binding on leadership. this will not become a commitment. this will be further down the line. so his aids are saying they are relaxed about the outcome. but what was interesting in the bbc interview, keir starmer was askedif the bbc interview, keir starmer was asked if he thought winning was more important than unity. it looks as though he can't reform or unite. i
5:26 pm
think we've seen some of the disunity. he's hoping that this week will close the door from the past and he'll be able to move on, even though there is some dissent from the floor. i've been hearing there is, because one of the delegates said keir starmer himself was backing the £15 an hour wage for mcdonald's workers back in 2019, before he was labour leader. 0ne mcdonald's workers back in 2019, before he was labour leader. one of the smaller unions is an membership of the labour party, decided to lead over a number of complaints — — decided to leave. that was the bakehs decided to leave. that was the baker's union. i'm still hoping we'll get the result very soon, but i don't think it'll be a surprise if delegates and trade unions go for the higherfigure of delegates and trade unions go for the higher figure of £15, delegates and trade unions go for the higherfigure of £15, but delegates and trade unions go for the higher figure of £15, but it is more of a symbolic vote and will not

5:40 pm
been almost 400 days, just shy of, since he promised to meet us until this day, and i think that is kind of what our concern is, that this lack of urgency is going to continue. hopefully this conversation today was just the start of a working relationship and that means i will be involved in setting the terms of reference, picking the chair. we are looking forward to working closely with the government to make sure that this enquiry really addresses the concerns that bereaved families have, as well as other people in society, and reallyjust start as soon as possible, because time is always of the essence, every single day another family and another person we are losing, so the sooner we can get this process in motion, the better. the sooner we get the answers. :, ~' the better. the sooner we get the answers. ., ~ , ., the better. the sooner we get the answers. :, ~ , :, y the better. the sooner we get the answers. ., ~ , ., , . the better. the sooner we get the answers. ., ~ i. , . ., answers. thank you very much for talkin: to answers. thank you very much for

so still an increase to the minimum wage, but this has now become almost a symbolic issue at the labour party conference, because andy mcdonald, the shadow employment rights minister, resigned from the shadow can it because he said there wasn't a commitment to £15. more? can it because he said there wasn't a commitment to £15.— can it because he said there wasn't a commitment to £15. now of course the rank and — a commitment to £15. now of course the rank and file _ a commitment to £15. now of course the rank and file delegates, - a commitment to £15. now of course the rank and file delegates, which i the rank and file delegates, which working at the hall overwhelmingly backed the demand for £15 minimum wage. what andy mcdonald alleges that he was told by the party leadership to go off behind closed doors and have negotiations with the unions and delegates to try to get that commitment to £15 taken off entirely to avoid a vote today. the vote took place, keir starmer�*s leadership team say they are quite relaxed about it because it doesn't automatically go into a labour manifesto, there are various hoops before that can happen, so in a sense because it is not binding they say they are not worried. he has

managed to change a labour's rules that they but it looks as though he is not entirely change the nature of the party. he says he is absolutely determined to win the next election and will take tough changes which many may find uncomfortable but today he hasn't taken their advice and says we will go for a national minimum wage of at least £10 which gives options for that to be increased in the future and they have said they will go for a £15 figure, something which andy mcdonald and some on the key trade unions had argued for. more mcdonald and some on the key trade unions had argued for.— unions had argued for. more now on our to unions had argued for. more now on ourt0p story- _ unions had argued for. more now on our top story. the _ unions had argued for. more now on our top story. the prime _ unions had argued for. more now on our top story. the prime minister i our top story. the prime minister has said that after days of fuel shortages at the pumps there are indications the situation is stabilising. in response to scenes of panic buying, borisjohnson has urged people to fill up their vehicles as normal. i am joined by yvonne simone who has found it
