hello and welcome if you are watching here in the uk, or around the world. london's police force, the metropolitan police, has explained how it intends to better protect women and girls following the murder of sarah everard. yesterday, wayne couzens, a serving officer with the met, was given a whole life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing sarah in march. the head of the force, dame cressida dick, has faced repeated calls to resign — but she says lessons will be learnt. let's look at how the met is trying to reassure the public. anyone stopped by a lone plain clothes police officer can challenge their legitimacy, and request to speak to an operator on a police radio to check if the stop is genuine. plain clothes officers will not be deployed on their own, and will be in pairs. an extra 650 new officers will patrol busy public areas in london where women have concerns about their safety. and the independent office

for police conduct is investigating a group of officers who allegedly shared "discriminatory" messages on a whatsapp group — which were discovered during the investigation into the sarah everard's murder. serious questions are now being asked about whether opportunities were missed before sarah everard's murder. the met has admitted a vetting check on couzens was not done correctly when he joined the force. it meant an incident of indecent exposure in kent in 2015, involving a vehicle linked to couzens, was missed. and around 72 hours before sarah everard's abduction, met police officers received a separate allegation of indecent exposure which also identified the vehicle involved as registered to couzens. simonjones reports. sarah everard, described in court as intelligent, talented, much loved. but the question now facing the met

is, could and should her killer wayne couzens have been stopped earlier? i recognise that for some people a precious bond of trust has been damaged. there are no words that can fully express the fury and overwhelming sadness that we all feel about what happened to sarah. i am so sorry. so resign, then! she didn't respond to questions about whether she should resign. this was the moment couzens falsely arrested sarah everard in south london in march. his arm outstretched, holding his warrant card. he'd go on to rape and murder her, her body dumped in woodland in kent. but back in 2015 a car owned by couzens was linked to an allegation of indecent exposure. this wasn't picked up by police vetting. and 72 hours before the kidnap,

there was another allegation of indecent exposure. we'll be pushing ministers and the home secretary to have a look at exactly what is going wrong in the vetting processes, in the reporting processes, in the scrutiny of police officers, and how that gets done. the met says it will shortly publish a new strategy for tackling violence against women and girls. it will be deploying 650 new officers into busy public places where people often feel unsafe. it insists it's focused on improving detections for indecent exposure. the fact that this awful man used the cover of being a police officer to commit his crime does have devastating implications for trust. and i know that has caused distress throughout the ranks in british policing, in the thousands of british police officers up—and—down the land. we hope that over time police can rebuild the trust of the british people. sarah everard's death prompted

an outpouring of public grief. in new safety guidance the met says people should ask questions if they're concerned an officer is a threat. advice backed by a police watchdog. call the control room, call 909, and say i'm being asked to co—operate with someone who says he is a police officer, i want to know if this person is a police officer and if there are any real concerns that the person in question is going to be assaulted or abducted, then that 999 call will be treated as urgent. couzens told lie after lie after his arrest. do you know sarah? i don't, no. the metropolitan police is now investigating whether he may have committed more crimes. sarah everard's family say the world is a safer place now he'll never be let out of prison. simon jones, bbc news. simon has been at the metropolitan police's headquarters and earlier he told me more about the response. the

met told me more about the response. tue: met described told me more about the response. tte: met described the told me more about the response. t'te: met described the killing told me more about the response. tte: met described the killing of sarah everard is one of the most dreadful incidents in their 190 year history, and now they are facing another very difficult time about confidence in the police. we have had that new safety guidance you referred to. we are told by the met it is very unusualfor are told by the met it is very unusual for someone to be stopped on the street by a loan plainclothes officer, but if that happens to you and you are concerned about the office of�*s conduct, then the advice from the police is you should ask to use the officer �*s radio contact the control room to check what the officer is doing is legitimate. and then the advice is if you still feel in danger you might perhaps want to run to a nearby house and ask for help. you might want to shout out to a passer—by to show you are in distress, you might want to flag down a bus or even dialled 999. but as you say, this is very much

putting the onus on the person who is stopped. in the case of sarah everard when wayne couzens showed his arrest warrant, he then quickly handcuffed her. so it is unclear whether that advice would have worked in this case, whether it would have been practical. but this is new advice. the met recognising that they have a job to do to rebuild confidence. that is part of the safety advice. they also say they are going to put hundreds of extra officers on the streets of london, 650 new officers. they are going to send those officers into hotspots where violence is perpetrated against women and girls in particular. but as well as the issue of confidence over the way they handled wayne couzens and the vetting procedure, you have this further investigation by the independent office for police conduct. and i think while that is ongoing, that is still going to undermine confidence people have in the metropolitan police.—

and use the hashtag bbc your questions. what would make you feel safe? the australian prime minister, scott morrison, says fully vaccinated australians will be able to enter and leave the country freely from november. it's the first time they will be able to do so without permission since australia closed its international borders in march 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. it means millions of citizens can travel out of the country and some 115,000 australians currently abroad will be able to return home. it will be time very soon that we will be able to open those international borders again, and that will enable australians who are fully vaccinated and australians and residents of australia who are overseas, who are fully vaccinated, to be able to travel again and to be able to lift those caps. this will happen next month. that's when it will start happening, from next month. ~ , ., ., month. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil— month. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil is _ month. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil is in _ month. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil is in sydney - month. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil is in sydney and - month. our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil is in sydney and has| shaimaa khalil is in sydney and has more detail about who is covered by this relaxation of travel

restrictions.— this relaxation of travel restrictions. ., ' . ., restrictions. the office of the prime minister _ restrictions. the office of the prime minister has _ restrictions. the office of the prime minister has said - restrictions. the office of the prime minister has said that l restrictions. the office of the l prime minister has said that as restrictions. the office of the - prime minister has said that as it stands this announcement will include australian citizens or australian permanent residents, non—australians not included in those plans just yet. non—australians not included in those plansjust yet. but non—australians not included in those plans just yet. but to say it is highly anticipated is really an understatement. this has been a very, very emotional moment for thousands and thousands of australians here and of course abroad. essentially what it means. you can travel abroad and be guaranteed to come back, or if you have been stranded abroad you can come back for a seven day home quarantine, so the caps on arrivals, all of these limitations are gone for australian citizens. the other big detail, of course, is vaccination, they need to be fully vaccinated, these vaccinations have to be approved by the health authorities here and the states who reach 80% vaccination rates and

above are the ones that are able to open for international travel. as it stands, new south wales where i am is set to be the first one to open internationally. there is still so many details to iron out, especially about proof of vaccination, whether it will be certificates, vaccination passports, qr codes, how that's going to work in different states, especially that the different states have handled their outbreaks differently. for example, new south wales, the delta outbreak here is stabilising, getting ready to open up stabilising, getting ready to open up domestically and internationally, whereas queensland and western australia, for example, they're still going for elimination, still going for zero covid and they have been the strictest with their borders, the first to close, very reluctant to reopen for the rest of the country. so we don't know where they stand on international travel. as early as next month you can get a very interesting scenario where someone in sydney, for example, could travel to london or new york but would not be able to travel to

brisbane or perth because these two states would still be closed. i think generally, a huge sense of relief amongst so many that international travel is now back as an option after nearly two years of being isolated from the rest of the world. being isolated from the rest of the world, ,, ., ., ., being isolated from the rest of the world. ,, ., ., ., ., being isolated from the rest of the world. ,, ., .,., ., , portugal is due to lift almost all of its restrictions that were imposed to limit the spread of coronavirus. with more than 85% of its residents now fully vaccinated, the government will no longer recommend remote working and masks will not be required in the street. more than 15 million households across england, scotland and wales are to face higher energy bills, as the increased price cap comes into effect from today. a typical bill for those on a default tariff will rise by around £140 a year, with those on prepayment meters expected to pay even more. our personal finance correspondent kevin peachey reports. as the temperature dips, so our energy bills rise. the cost of heating and lighting our homes is limited by the price cap, but this is the biggest ever increase at a time when

many household budgets are being squeezed. it affects people on standard tariffs in england, wales and scotland and generally those who haven't switched for a long time, or whose time—limited tariffs have expired. the new cap means they will now pay £1,277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity — that's £139 a year more on their bill than under the previous cap. prepayment—meter customers face a higher typical bill of £1,309 a year — that's an increase of £153 on the previous time. those who use more than the average amount of energy in their homes will face bigger bills because the policy caps price, not the total bill. those affected are normally encouraged to switch suppliers for a cheaper deal.

this time of the massive rise in the cost of wholesale gas in recent weeks has stripped the market of better offers. it's also led to the collapse of nine suppliers. their customers will now pay a more expensive tariff in line with the price cap. surviving firms say they are having to buy wholesale energy at a much higher price than the retail cap allows them to sell it for it. it is what it is, we're doing our best to get we are worried about our customers through this period so nobody is asking for the price cap to be increased again. it is what it is and we are doing our best to get customers through it and support well—run businesses through it and otherwise if we need to do anything else we are talking to government. analysts say companies' extra costs will be reflected when the cap is revised in the spring, at a level likely to be significantly more expensive for bill payers. kevin peachey, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. following the murder by sarah everard by a

serving police officer london's metropolitan police tries to regain public confidence by increasing patrols and issuing advice on dealing with plainclothes police officers. a group of officers believed to include couzens are being investigated for allegedly sharing discriminatory messages on a whatsapp group. australia says it will reopen its borders to fully vaccinated citizens in november after 18 months of tight restrictions. a planned vote on us presidentjoe biden's trillion dollar infrastructure bill has been delayed after democrats in congress failed to reach agreement on its scope. a statement said work on the bill would now be completed on friday. however, president biden has signed into law a short term spending bill, aimed at avoiding a federal government shutdown. this is what nancy pelosi the leader of the democrats in the house of representatives had to say. with this continuing resolution we not only keep government open, keep cheques flowing to our veterans

and social security recipients and the rest, but it's about again, whether it's about science at the national institutes of health, the education of our children, the protection of our environment, it's just a remarkable thing to think of all the things that we can do working together for the people. nancy pelosi. people reported issues trying to register for scotland's new covid passport atjust trying to register for scotland's new covid passport at just a few hours after it was launched. from today, anyone entering nightclubs and most large scale events will need to prove they've had two doses of a coronavirus vaccine. officials say overwhelming demand could be to blame for the problems. james shaw reports. scotland's vaccine passport scheme will have an impact across a range of live events. n ig htclu bs face particular challenges. everyone going in will have to be checked. they'll have to show a qr code

on a smartphone or have a printout of their certificate. all my friends are so angry because they are waiting on this letter form of a vaccine passport, it's just ridiculous. i think they are a good idea. i think. there's nothing, like, wrong with it. so i mean if people are getting vaccinated then there is nothing wrong with showing you are vaccinated, do you know what i mean? seems like an imposition, i seems unreasonable, seems like another nail in the coffin for the hospitality sector. . it's not yet clear what the impact will be for the big football clubs, but they will be relieved that enforcement is being delayed. rangers will play hibernian here at ibrox on saturday, and the club has told fans they must turn up with proof of vaccination. but how many will be checked, and will any fans be turned away from these gates? the scottish government insists the scheme is essential to manage the pandemic, and they say the delay will make it easier for businesses. there will be a period ofjust over

two weeks when businesses get the opportunity to make sure the arrangements they have in place to do this are tested, can be adapted if necessary, and businesses get the confidence in those arrangements. no other part of the uk is bringing in a scheme quite like scotland's. as before, during the pandemic, the scottish approach is different and more cautious than elsewhere. james shaw, bbc news, glasgow. earlier i spoke to our scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie and asked her if there were still issues with the app.— issues with the app. there definitely _ issues with the app. there definitely seems - issues with the app. there definitely seems to - issues with the app. there definitely seems to be. i issues with the app. there l definitely seems to be. this issues with the app. there - definitely seems to be. this went to live about five o'clock last night. people were able to register for this. there have been reports of problems since then. if you are looking for the app it is called the nhs covid status at. i did manage to download it quite easy, it was quite a quick process for me, but they

have been reports from many people who have been looking for the app and finding it difficult to find, and finding it difficult to find, and then also difficult to register. lots of people here in the newsroom have been talking about trying to register and not being able to. the scottish government has said this is because of the volume of people doing it and have advised people to possibly step away from it for a couple of hours and then go back and try again. 50 couple of hours and then go back and t aaain. , ., couple of hours and then go back and t aaain. ,., , ., try again. so tell us a bit more, then, alexandra, _ try again. so tell us a bit more, then, alexandra, but— try again. so tell us a bit more, then, alexandra, but how - try again. so tell us a bit more, then, alexandra, but how this | then, alexandra, but how this process for registering for the app works? . , ., ., process for registering for the app works? . ., ., process for registering for the app works? . i. ., ., ., , , works? once you do download the app, as i said, it works? once you do download the app, as i said. it is— works? once you do download the app, as i said, it is the _ works? once you do download the app, as i said, it is the nhs _ works? once you do download the app, as i said, it is the nhs covid _ as i said, it is the nhs covid status at the that you need, and you download the app and put in some basic details, you have your name and date of birth. cash status app. you also need some photographic id available as well, either your passport or your driver's license. you take a photograph of that and then you also take a photograph of

yourself, and that cross references and proves who you are. one of the other things it does ask for is your nhs number. i didn't have mine to hand soi nhs number. i didn't have mine to hand so i didn't put that in. you don't necessarily need it even though it does ask for it and some people have said that's the stage that has been tricky when they have tried to put their nhs number in, it has then pushed you out. so if you do get to the final stage, what you see is, you don't need to provide the dates of when you have been vaccinated, if you have all the other details, the dates pop up of your vaccine, and the particular vaccine that you had, and behind thatis vaccine that you had, and behind that is the qr code which you are going to need and that will cross—reference at the venues, at the clubs, at the larger venues, possible larger football matches tomorrow. that will cross reference with the app that these businesses

have. even though it has come into play now, this will not be enforced until the 18th of october. alexandra mackenzie. facebook�*s global head of safety has defended the social media giant against accusations that its photo sharing app instagram can negatively affect the mental health of young people. antigone davis was appearing before a us senate committee hearing on child protection. it comes two weeks after a leak exposed how instagram's own research had found the platform could have a damaging impact on teenagers' body image and self esteem. senators highlighted how facebook had earlier denied it was aware of the research. ms davis argued that instagram �*affirmatively helped' young people on serious issues. our los angeles correspondent david willis has more. she said that this could actually, in some cases, help to give young people more control over their lives and to actually be helpful to them. that wasn't met with much sympathy, i might add,

by senators who formed this committee. one described the facebook research as a bombshell and accused the company of a cover up. it was likened as well, this research, to the cover—up conducted by the tobacco industry over the harmful effects of cigarettes several decades ago. there have been calls as well by this committee for facebook to release the full findings, its full research, on the links between instagram and youth suicide. this is not an issue going away anytime soon because next week the same committee is due to hearfrom a facebook whistleblower, who left the company with apparently tens of thousands of documents related to internal research on these and other matters. that person is due to give evidence on tuesday.

david will summit. the swedish activist criticised the efforts of politicians to tackle climate change as 30 years of blah blah blah. but ministers say some progress is being made on a range of issues. boris johnson has said young people have every right to be angry about the state of climate change and were paying the price for the reckless actions of their elders. detectives in northern ireland investigating the murder of the journalist lear and mickey have arrested two men. the men aged 44 and 53 were arrested in the londonderry area this morning under the terrorism act —— lyra mckee. they have been taken to belfast for questioning. lyra mckee who was 29 were shot dead in april 2019 as she observed writing in the craigen area of the city.

police in ecuador say they have regained control of a high security prison following a major operation involving 900 police officers and army soldiers. clashes broke out on tuesday between rival gangs, who are thought to have links with mexican drug gangs. at least 118 inmates were killed in the disturbances. north korean state media says the country has fired a newly developed anti—aircraft missile. it said the test was conducted on thursday to evaluate the missile's launcher, radar and combat performance. it's the fourth new weapons system tested by pyongyang in the last month. after the actress and tv star dame barbara windsor was diagnosed with dementia she used her profile to raise awareness and help others living with the disease. nine months after her death, her husband scott mitchell is continuing that campaign. on sunday, he'lljoin thousands of runners taking part in the london marathon and he's raising money for alzheimer's research uk. david sillito went to meet him.

# ain't it a shame # ain't it a shame # sparrows can't sing... # barbara windsor, from carry on to eastenders, she was a part of british life for over 50 years and 27 of them she shared with her husband scott and he was there by her side on one of her last public appearances, trip to downing street to raise awareness about alzheimer's. and now, nine months after her death, that commitment they had to be open, to campaign, to raise awareness continues. you they had to be open, to campaign, to raise awareness continues.— raise awareness continues. you lived here a long — raise awareness continues. you lived here a longtime _ raise awareness continues. you lived here a long time together. _ raise awareness continues. you lived here a long time together. it's - raise awareness continues. you lived here a long time together. it's a - here a long time together. it's a place full of memories, isn't it? yeah, we're talking nine months since _ yeah, we're talking nine months since barbara past and me more than anyone _ since barbara past and me more than anyone is_ since barbara past and me more than anyone is aware that that's very early— anyone is aware that that's very early in — anyone is aware that that's very early in the _ anyone is aware that that's very early in the stages of grieving. you know, _ early in the stages of grieving. you know. we _ early in the stages of grieving. you know, we spent 27 years of our life together— know, we spent 27 years of our life together and we really were together a lot as _

together and we really were together a lot as a _ together and we really were together a lot as a couple. i think it's no secret that caring for someone with alzheimer's is a very challenging thing — i'd certainly say the most challenging thing i've ever been through in my life. the barbara the public met was funny and sharp and always open and gregarious. um... it must have been very difficult when you began to see changes in her. yeah. it seemed that barbara — once we got the diagnosis, it seemed that there in the room at the time she... i'v e. i've always recalled this story. she looked at me and she put her hand out and said "i'm sorry" to me. that was her initial reaction. and i said, "don't worry, bar," i said, "it'll be ok. it'll be ok." then she went into a completely different mode, which was, "ok, let's get on with life,

let's, you know, i've got my work to get on with," and that's what she did and, you know, the advice given to me at the time was...let her continue as long as she can. the decision to go public — 2018, wasn't it? mm. what sort of impact did that have? what i didn't want was i didn't want barbara — and it's the same with people living with alzheimer's and dementia and theirfamilies — you don't want to have to hide that person away. you know, you don't want to have to feel that there's a shame to it, and i think for many years there has been a great shame attached to dementia, and how people feel they can talk about it and be open about it. and, of course, barbara being a public figure made it even more difficult because people

constantly would be drawn to her the minute they saw her. and we spoke to her about it and explained to her what was happening — which she understood — and the other big thing that meant a lot to her was, isaid, "you know, barbara, by talking about this, you're going to be helping so many other people." you're about to do the marathon on sunday. you're going to have many thoughts nine months on, i'm guessing. when i go around this time it's going to be a completely different run for me. of course...i was supposed to do it last year, barbara was still here with us. i'm going to be reflecting on a lot. i'm going to be reflecting on that lady i spent 27 of my life with. she will be with me the whole way, like she's been on every training run. you know, i talk to her so much in my head when i'm running. the thing that will be missing for me is, when i finished in 2019, i got to the finish line and i phoned barbara — she was here with her carer and i phoned her and i wasjust,

like, elated and euphoric and i said, "barbara, i'v e ju st r u n a mara th o n p. and she said, "oh, very good, dear, what time will you be home?" he laughs totally not grasping the enormity of what i felt i'd done on my 56th birthday. and i went, "well, i'll be home soon, love, there'sjust a little celebration that i'm just going to stop off at." she said, "but you've been out all day!" which is wonderful and, oh, goodness, barbara, how i wish i could make that call again. but, you know... not to be this year. . the headlines. following the murder of sarah everard by a serving police officer met tries to regain public confidence by issuing advice on plainclothes police officers. officers up—and—down the land recognise the devastating

ethiopia's ministry of foreign affairs declared the officials persona non grata for meddling in the internal affairs of the country — instructing them to leave the country within the next 72 hours. the un says it's shocked. all un humanitarian operations are guided by the core principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence. the ethiopian state often accuses aid organisations of supporting its rivals in the north, the tigray people's liberation front. the tplf regained control tigray and the neighbouring area injune after months of bloody battles. they pushed back federal forces, who retain control of the region's checkpoints. which the un says amounts to a blockade of medical supplies and fuel in the war—torn region. what we need is 100 trucks

to enter tigray every day. so we are way below that target. ethiopia's un mission in new york claims of a blockade baseless, yet the un says 5.2 million people still require food aid, with 400,000 people living in famine—like conditions. the only thing that is clear is how far apart both sides remain. there is no hunger in tigray. there is a problem in tigray and the government is capable of fixing that. if not the us is threatening to act. president biden signed an executive order earlier this month enabling the us government to impose financial sanctions on those prolonging the conflict in northern ethiopia. we will not hesitate to use this. as this humanitarian disaster deepens, the us says it is engaging with ethiopia's government to allow its staff to remain working there in what is now a diplomatic disaster. mark lobel, bbc news.

a new law comes into force across england today which bans under 18s from getting botox style injections or dermal lip fillers for cosmetic reasons. it follows years of campaigning to regulate the non surgical beauty industry but there are warnings the changes don't go far enough. our health correspondent anna collinson reports. i just saw this look on herface of panic, and my heart started racing, and i could feel blood just trickling down the side of my face. laura was offered a cheap filler treatment to plump up her lips, but the practitioner accidentally punctured an artery. my lip was massive, it was black, particularly underneath it, but inside of my lip had just filled with blood. i almost passed out with the shock of seeing the state of my face. complications like this need to be dealt with quickly to prevent more serious possible problems like blindness, but laura says her practitioner panicked and didn't know what to do. many practitioners, including ones at this clinic,

adhere to strict safety guidelines. but due to a lack of regulation in the nonsurgical beauty industry, effectively anyone can carry out potentially dangerous treatments. from today there will be more protection but only for some. it's now illegal for under—18s to receive botox style injections or dermalfillers in england for non—medical reasons. though the ban doesn't cover other invasive procedures like thread lifts. this clinic only treats patients over 21. it was absolutely long overdue, but purely cosmetic treatments, really, you don't need anything when you are so young, so it will be unnecessary, it would be a waste of time, a waste of money. going 0k? 0k, brilliant. latest figures estimate around 70,000 of these treatments are carried out in under—18s per year. now anyone caught administering to this age group could go to prison.

update on possible legislation in wales and scotland are expected in the near future. while northern ireland has no current plans. one of the helpful things about this bill is it fits into an existing licensing provision for, for example, sunbeds or tattoo parlours. so the enforcement will be the same through local authorities and for the police, so there is an established provisions, which will mean that it is quite easy to go and enforce. young women believe demand for these treatments are down to constant pressure to look a certain way. i see it so much with my friends, that they have these expectations of themselves and they are so critical of themselves, which i think has 100% come from social media. it's definitely hard to tell which photos are edited and which ones are not, and then you get a really unrealistic body image. so, i'm 20, i have friends who've | had filler and botox in the past, | and they have become addicted to getting it done, that never. really satisfied with the outcomes, and they are always _ looking for more. the law change is a huge achievement for those who have been calling

for regulation for seven years. this feels like a really important first step, but the industry has still got such a long way to go. the fact that these treatments can be done by anyone with no training or experience, they can purchase their products over the internet, and insurance is a huge thing for us, we really want to make it a legal requirement. but anyone over 18 remains as vulnerable as ever. like laura, who is too scared to get the bump in her lip fixed, but is also grateful it didn't turn out worse. it's time to have our monthly catch up with what's happening in coventry�*s city of culture the year long festival of events . and as we come out of lockdown, there's been an unlocking of talent across the city. today is the launch of this is africa's �*the living culture exhibition' to concide with the start of black history month. let's go to coventry now, where our corrrespondent trish adudu has been keeping across what the city has to offer.

like you say, today marks the start of black history month and here in coventry they are really embracing it. there are over 20,000 africans in coventry and being half nigerian myself it is wonderful to find out about my culture. there is a huge exhibition, two miles outside of coventry city centre. the creator and organiser, you are not very stressed, you look very relaxed. it is wonderful. a lot of people here. tell us about this exhibition. this is the living _ tell us about this exhibition. this is the living culture exhibition it is the living culture exhibition it is the _ is the living culture exhibition it is the beginning of black history month — is the beginning of black history month. we are celebrating the future and honouring the past. we want to tell a _ and honouring the past. we want to tell a story, — and honouring the past. we want to tell a story, a story that people have _ tell a story, a story that people have not— tell a story, a story that people have not already said where we think about— have not already said where we think about when_ have not already said where we think about when we talk about black

given to the murderer of sarah everard. what do you think of the metropolitan police plan to regain public trust and what would make you feel safe? joanne says if you are in london it is unlikely to be stopped by one officer, if it happens, i would ask to call a uniformed colleague, female if possible, and make sure they use the police radio to do that. another message, if i am stopped by one police officer i would like to call it a dedicated verification phone line to confirm their badge numbers. another person suggest an easy number to call would be really useful in those circumstances. something easy to remember. another message, challenging officers sounds dangerous. if an officer has malicious intent i do not think they would let you verify they are legitimate. this does not add confidence for me. the focus should

be on vetting officers. thank you so much for sending all your comments in. i was not able to read all of them, but i read all the messages that you soon. thank you very much. europe's first mission to mercury is expected to reach its destination this weekend. the bepi colombo spacecraft will carry out six fly bys around the planet and if successful, the probe will start sending images back to earth. it's moving too fast to go into orbit but will begin more detailed observations in four years' time. i'm joined now by elsa montagnon, spacecraft operations managerfor the mission at the european space agency: thank you forjoining us on what is a very exciting day. we should begin by re— emphasising that this is part of a much longer project. just remind our viewers where we are in this mission. the remind our viewers where we are in this mission-— this mission. the colombo was

arrests on the plane, and died later in a french hospital. she was only 15. this new legislation, called natasha's law, comes into force today and closes a loophole so that, now, all pre—wrapped food — including sandwiches, fast—food and cheese or meat from deli counters — must be clearly labelled with a full list of ingredients. also 1a major allergens — including eggs, peanuts and sesame seeds — must be highlighted in the list. the food standards agency calls it a huge step in helping the 2 million people who live with food allergies in the uk. natasha's parents describe it as a bittersweet moment for them but, five years on from their daughter's death, say they they know in their hearts she would be very proud of the new rules in her name — natasha's law. john maguire, bbc news.

people in rome go to the polls this weekend to vote for a mayor who will run the city for the next five years. the main talking point is rubbish or more accurately, rome's chronic problem with managing its waste. mark lowen has more. it should be fixed, because it looks like a dirty town. it doesn't look clean at all. for me, it is heartbreaking, to see my city is a bit left behind. the eternal city, �*caput mundi', rome, bewitches the world and those of us lucky enough live here but, beneath the beauty, lies decay, dirty, broken and, say many romans, the worst in living memory, a huge challenge for whoever is to be elected mayor.

translation: rome's biggest problems, transport, waste management, public spaces, are down to a complete lack of skills, the city and regional authorities blame each other for what to do with the rubbish and mismanagement of the waste company ama. this is a city for tourists, not for its residents. europe's largest landfill, malagrotta, outside of rome, was closed in 2013 for failing to meet eu standards and, since then, the city has become an open air dump. now, waste is sent out across the country and in the nearby town of albano, the capital's failure to deal with its own rubbish is meeting fierce resistance. rome is not doing anything to manage their waste because elections are coming, they do not want to treat their waste in rome, so that is why they're coming here. but here there is countryside. there used to be vineyards.

we are not against some solutions to manage treat our waste but we want plans that are proportionate with our needs. when virginia raggi was elected as mayor of rome five years ago, she came in with a lot of support and a lot of optimism but now many romans are blaming her for the state of the city. mayor, after you running the city for five years, there is rubbish everywhere, potholes, buses are catching fire, why? we laid the foundations for five years and now we have to rebuild completely our city. translation: regarding the rubbish, we inherited a company, ama, with more than 13 years of false balance sheets. we relaunched it and have new plans with new tracks, cleaners and plans and putting things in order. other institutions too, like the national government and the region, have to do theirjob. rome's timeless beauty makes it

a bit stuck in time, development often hampered by ancient remains, a city resting on its laurels, lacking dynamism. it will always enchant but this election is about who will be trusted to clean up its modern ruins. mark lowen, bbc news, rome. bain will be here with you next to take you through to one o'clock. let's have a look at the weather. hello there. autumn has certainly set in and more in the way of autumnal weather over the next few days which could have an impact if you are on the move. stay closely tuned to the forecast if you are because as well as heavy rain at times there is a potential for some damaging disruptive gusts of wind here and there, right the way

through into the start of next week. it is blustery out there today but the main focus has been so far the rain. worse the rain late morning in parts of east anglia and the south—east which clears away, one or two isolated showers. a lot of the time it will be dry across southern and eastern parts. showers frequent in the north and west, particularly west of scotland and northern ireland, where the strongest of the breeze will be but a bigger gap between the showers compared with the morning across western england and wales, more staying dry. across the board, humidity levels drop compared to what they wear this morning so out of the suncheon, a fresh feel but nice enough in the south, cool in the wind further north, 11—14 c. where the wind continues to pile in, the showers through tonight, still some heavy, thundery potentially around, more in the way of persistent rain starting to push into the south—west. bear that in mind for saturday. but with clear skies across central and eastern areas, in much fresher start tomorrow morning, temperatures in single figures. there will be sunshine but here is this developing area of low pressure just along these weather fronts which are going to dominate the charts right the way through the weekend. it is starting to approach, sunny start, and outbreaks of rain quite widely. strong gust of the wind as the rain pushes in, particularly across

southern and eastern parts of england, east anglia and the south—east could see the worst of the wind but a soggy day for many across england and wales after what was a promising start. brighten up across western areas, still blustery here, but it is towards east anglia and the south—east where we could see wind gusts 40—50 mph and add the fact you have the wind and rain it will not feel anything particularly pleasant out there, temperatures down on what we have been used to of late. now let's follow this, the area of low pressure develops further as it runs its way up the north sea and into the north of scotland. exact positioning open to question, that will dictate who sees the wettest and windiest weather. certainly worse there. a brighter further south for the rest of the country with a mixture of sunshine and showers. still some blustery winds but the strongest of the winds potentially hitting 60—70 mph across the far north of scotland, more especially shetland. it will make for another fairly cool day across the country and even though winds will ease a bit into monday, more strong winds in the south on tuesday. we will keep you updated.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 11... after the murder of sarah everard by a serving police officer, london's metropolitan police tries to regain public confidence by increasing patrols and issuing advice on dealing with plain clothes police officers. officers up and down the land recognise the devastating consequences of this event. there is a job to be done to rebuild trust by the police, particularly, i have to say, in london. but a group of officers — believed to include couzens — are being investigated for allegedly sharing "discriminatory" messages on a whatsapp group. higher energy bills for 15—million households as a new, higher price cap comes into effect. australia says it will re—open it's borders to fully vaccinated citizens in november — after 18 months of

tight restrictions. scotland's vaccine passport scheme begins — affecting anyone wanting to go to a nightclub or a big event like a football match. natasha's law — new legislation requiring food retailers to display their full ingredients comes into effect today — named after a teenager who died from a severe allergic reaction. and coming up this hour....we hear more about the progress of europe's first mission to mercury. hello. the metropolitan police — has explained how it intends to better protect women and girls — after the murder of sarah everard. yesterday, wayne couzens —

a serving officer with the met — was given a whole—life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing sarah in march. the head of the force, dame cressida dick, has faced repeated calls to resign — but she says lessons will be learnt. let's look at how the met is trying to reassure the public. anyone stopped by a lone plain—clothes police officer can challenge their legitimacy, and request to speak to an operator on a police radio to check if the stop is genuine. plain—clothes officers will not be deployed on their own, and will be in pairs. an extra 650 new officers will patrol busy public areas in london where women have concerns about their safety. and the independent office for police conduct is investigating a group of officers who allegedly shared "discriminatory" messages on a whatsapp group — which were discovered during the wayne couzens investigation. serious questions are now being asked about whether opportunities were missed before sarah everard's murder. the met has admitted a vetting check on couzens was not done correctly

when he joined the force. it meant an incident of indecent exposure in kent in 2015, involving a vehicle linked to couzens, was missed. and around 72 hours before sarah everard's abduction, met police officers received a separate allegation of indecent exposure which also identified the vehicle involved as registered to couzens. simonjones reports. sarah everard. described in court as intelligent, talented, much loved. but the question now facing the met is, could and should her killer wayne couzens have been stopped earlier? i recognise that for some people a precious bond of trust has been damaged. there are no words that can fully express the fury and overwhelming sadness that we all

feel about what happened to sarah. i am so sorry. so resign, then! she didn't respond to questions about whether she should resign. this was the moment couzens falsely arrested sarah everard in south london in march. his arm outstretched, holding his warrant card. he'd go on to rape and murder her, her body dumped in woodland in kent. but, back in 2015, a car owned by couzens was linked to an allegation of indecent exposure. this wasn't picked up by police vetting. and, 72 hours before the kidnap, there was another allegation of indecent exposure. we'll be pushing ministers and the home secretary to have a look at exactly what is going wrong in the vetting processes, in the reporting processes, in the scrutiny of police officers, and how that gets done. the met says it will shortly publish a new strategy for tackling violence against women and girls. it will be deploying 650

new officers into busy public places where people often feel unsafe. it insists it's focused on improving detections for indecent exposure. the fact that this awful man used the cover of being a police officer to commit his crime does have devastating implications for trust. and i know that has caused distress throughout the ranks in british policing, in the thousands of british police officers up—and—down the land. but what we hope is that over time the police can rebuild the trust of the british people. sarah everard's death prompted an outpouring of public grief. in new safety guidance the met says people should ask questions if they're concerned an officer is a threat. advice backed by a police watchdog. call the control room, call 909, and say i'm being asked

to co—operate with someone who says he is a police officer, i want to know if this person is a police officer and if there are any real concerns that the person in question is going to be assaulted or abducted, then that 999 call will be treated as urgent. couzens told lie after lie after his arrest. do you know sarah? i don't, no. the metropolitan police is now investigating whether he may have committed more crimes. sarah everard's family say the world is a safer place now he'll never be let out of prison. simon jones, bbc news. simon has been at the metropolitan police's headquarters and earlier he told me more about the response. well, the met have described the killing of sarah everard as one of the most dreadful incidents in their 100—year history, and now they are facing another very difficult time about confidence in the police. we have had that new safety guidance you referred to.

now, we are told by the met it is very unusual for someone to be stopped on the street by a loan plain clothes officer, but if that happens to you and you are concerned about the office of�*s conduct, then the advice from the police is you should ask to use the officer �*s radio contact the control room to check what the officer is doing is legitimate. and then the advice is if you still feel in danger you might perhaps want to run to a nearby house and ask for help. you might want to shout out to a passer—by to show you're in distress, you might want to flag down a bus or even dial 999. but, as you say, this is very much putting the onus on the person who is stopped. and, in the case of sarah everard, when wayne couzens showed his arrest warrant, he then quickly handcuffed her. so it's unclear whether that advice would have worked in this case, whether it would have been practical. but this is new advice. the met recognising that they have a job to do to rebuild confidence.

and that's part of the safety advice. they also say they're going to put hundreds of extra officers on the streets of london — 650 new officers. they're going to send those officers into hotspots where violence is perpetrated against women and girls in particular. but, as well as the issue of confidence over the way they handled wayne couzens and the vetting procedure, you've now got this further investigation by the independent office for police conduct. and i think while that is ongoing, that is still going to undermine confidence people have in the metropolitan police. i'm joined now byjess phillips, labour mp for birmingham yardley and shadow minister for domestic violence and safeguarding. let's pick up on the lap points from simonjones. do you have confidence

how we devote the offending of violence against women and girls. there have been a lot of calls, as you know, for cressida dick to resign over this. would you join those calls so mike calls. because of because they are and if you have got a woman in charge of the metropolitan police in charge of metropolitan police and you've also got a woman home secretary. guess, and i think both _ got a woman home secretary. guess, and i think both of _ got a woman home secretary. guess, and i think both of those _ got a woman home secretary. guess, and i think both of those women - and i think both of those women should be using the power they have to act more swiftly and decisively and neither of them have shown much in the way of that in the last 2a hours. i understand their salvo and they are upset and even regret on they are upset and even regret on the part of cressida dick and actually their salvo isn't going to stop and the fact that by the end of the day another woman will likely have been murdered by the hands of a man. getting rid of cressida dick is not going to improve the police force in greater manchester, it is not going to help in the west midlands, it is not going to help the fundamental and systematic problem that we have in this country that we just simply don't care as

so our energy bills rise. the cost of heating and lighting our homes is limited by the price cap, but this is the biggest ever increase at a time when many household budgets are being squeezed. it affects people on standard tariffs in england, wales and scotland and generally those who haven't switched for a long time, or whose time—limited tariffs have expired. the new cap means they will now pay £1,277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity — that's £139 a year more on their bill than under the previous cap. prepayment—meter customers face a higher typical bill of £1,309 a year — that's an increase of £153 on the previous time. those who use more than the average amount of energy in their homes will face bigger bills because the policy caps price, not the total bill. those affected are normally encouraged to switch suppliers for a cheaper deal. this time of the massive rise in the cost of wholesale gas in recent weeks has stripped the market of better offers. it's also led to the collapse

of nine suppliers. their customers will now pay a more expensive tariff in line with the price cap. surviving firms say they are having to buy wholesale energy at a much higher price than the retail cap allows them to sell it for it. we're we' re really we're really worried about making sure customers get through this period so i don't think anyone is asking for the price cap to be increased again. it is what it is, we are doing our best to get customers through it, we are trying to support well—run business to see this period and otherwise if we need to do anything else we are talking to do anything else we are talking to government. analysts say companies' extra costs will be reflected when the cap is revised in the spring, at a level likely to be significantly more expensive for bill—payers. kevin peachey, bbc news. dale vince is the owner of the green energy company ecotricity

thank you very much for being with us. what would you say this whole crisis on gas imports shows about our reliance on traditional forms of energy? t our reliance on traditional forms of ener: ? ~ , ., , ., , energy? i think it shows how utterly de endent energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we _ energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are _ energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are on _ energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are on fossil - energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are on fossil fuels - energy? i think it shows how utterly| dependent we are on fossil fuels and honest global markets notjust for the supply of those fuels but for the supply of those fuels but for the pricing of them because 50% of britain's gas at the moment comes in the north sea which is ours and we own that the price of the north sea gas has grown fivefold only because the global price has gone up by the same amount in the north sea operators are raping it in while bills reach record levels —— are raking it in. there is no point having a retail price cap are not a wholesale price cap. t0 having a retail price cap are not a wholesale price cap.— having a retail price cap are not a wholesale price cap. to what extent would move — wholesale price cap. to what extent would move into _ wholesale price cap. to what extent would move into green _ wholesale price cap. to what extent would move into green energy - wholesale price cap. to what extent would move into green energy and. would move into green energy and what exactly do we mean by that but how would that help the consumer? that is a good question because we can actually make all of the electricity we need in our country from the wind and sun a little bit of c. we can make all of the gas we need from grass but unless we change

the market we will still follow global prices for energy and we have the dealing hassles from government intervention and regulation that actually sets the price of energy based on what it cost to make it here in britain, not what it gets sold for investable water costs to make. that is not happening right now. th make. that is not happening right now. , ., ., ., , now. in the short term, what does today mean _ now. in the short term, what does today mean for— now. in the short term, what does today mean for consumers? - now. in the short term, what does i today mean for consumers? because they have obviously got to put out of business in the last few weeks. the price cap is misconceived, a very blunt instrument, 17 competitors in the energy market but we don't have a price cap anywhere else. there is a lot of focus and danced on the cost of energy because we have these incremental changes twice a year from the regulator but we don't have the example a price cap on food and we'll spend five times as much on food as we do an energy. food poverty is a bigger

issue than energy poverty. you why does the government isn't like that because is inconsistency and ad hoc nature to the way the country is being run. nature to the way the country is being run-— being run. what is the advice to --eole being run. what is the advice to people who _ being run. what is the advice to people who are _ being run. what is the advice to people who are going _ being run. what is the advice to people who are going to - being run. what is the advice to people who are going to see i being run. what is the advice to i people who are going to see their bills shooting up because in the old days the advice was to switch what it is much harder to switch now. because the id you can simply switch and get a better deal and avoid realities of global pricing all of thatis realities of global pricing all of that is a bit of smoke and mirrors for consumers, you know, and it is no wonder people feel bamboozled and confused in the energy market. these prices are the real prices of energy at the moment. we are subjecting them and trying to resist in with a price cap is happening now is not just driving energy companies out of business, it is a kinky new types can dance. you we have to accept the realities and everything. —— king canute—type stance. at the moment, the government take 7% of everyone's

situation would start to down? of course situation would start to down? qt course we situation would start to down? (ztt course we are not situation would start to down? ttt course we are not actually having a shortage of fuel but the issues of course that you cannot get the fuel to the pump which was the initial situation and we are in a situation where the demand has increased so rapidly that many of the operators are struggling to fill up and i was speaking to one petrol operator earlier today and he was saying that normally they would be sort of selling about 35,000 gallons and today they are up to 65,000 gallons of it is a huge amount more that they are selling on a regular basis and that is what they are trying to keep up with so it is not necessarily always about these deliveries been delayed or later art not having enough of them, it is just the fact that the demand has gone up so rapidly and they are trying to keep up with them. find trying to keep up with them. and what is the _ trying to keep up with them. and what is the latest on the driver situation in terms of both the ministry and also the visas that were issued, 5000 visas? —— in terms of the military? do we know if and when those 5000 lorry drivers are going to come? {in when those 5000 lorry drivers are going to come?— when those 5000 lorry drivers are going to come? on the army to start with we have — going to come? on the army to start with we have not _ going to come? on the army to start with we have not yet _ going to come? on the army to start with we have not yet at _ going to come? on the army to start with we have not yet at confirmation | with we have not yet at confirmation the out on the road and we knew they

were going to get additional training the next few days that we not certain if they have yet appeared on the road to helping out. we know that the reserve tank is, they came out from wednesday that they came out from wednesday that the government set out so that is being driven by civilian drivers. in terms of the visa situation, these temporary visas are expected to be, the school is meant to be starting to roll to get together later this month in october. there was concern yesterday speaking to the haulage industry that the government might reduce the length of these visas from three months down to two months in the haulage industry originally said they wanted six months because it takes a long time to be to trainable uk drivers to fill the spaces they wanted to have a longer period of time. the government has said it was a three—month period and now they are worried that could get squeezed and squeezed and reduced down and they say that is not long enough. the government, of course, has overseen quite emphatic that it is doing lots of other things, lots of other measures to try to make sure that drivers can beat trained, that tests have been streamlined, that tests have been streamlined, that they are able to move people

through the process and train have visas uk jobs not through the process and train have visas ukjobs not from independence jobs but the moment you play the visa scheme has not started and people can apply for these visas. taste people can apply for these visas. we have heard already from some european lorry driver saying what is the point of they came here in october and have got to get out by christmas eve and is it worth them while? that is the exact situation. people are very concerned that three months was not going to be appealing enough for people to want to leave theirjobs, move and come to the ukraine and put everything particularly at the moment given that we are not the only place that has got a lovely driver shortage and so there are other options for people in the eu. the suggestion that it was going to be two months is obviously left the haulage industry feeling even more concerned that people are not going to necessarily want to take that up. again, the government has been determined that the competitive salaries that are going to be offered will be enough to try and entice people to come to the uk. caroline, thank you very much indeed for pinging is the latest on the petrol situation. the australian prime minister scott

morrison says fully vaccinated australians will be able to enter and leave the country freely from november. it's the first time they will be able to do so without permission since australia closed its international borders in march 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. it means millions of citizens can travel out of the country and some a5,000 australians currently abroad will be able to return home. it will be time very soon that will be able to open those international borders again and that will enable australians who are fully vaccinated and australians and residents of australia who are overseas who are fully vaccinated to be able to travel again and to be able to lift those caps. this will happen next month. that's when it will start happening, from next month. well, our australia correspondent simon khalil is in sydney and has got more details about who that is covered by this relaxation of australia's travel restrictions.

fully vaccinated as the key in 80% vaccinated is also the key for this highly and hugely anticipated and very, very emotional moment for many australians here in the country but also abroad as well. the prime minister in his announcement said that states who have reached 80% vaccination will be able to open international travel and those who are travelling and coming back all those who are coming back from overseas will go into a seven day quarantine, home quarantine. essentially, this is the end of hotel quarantine, which means that those thousands and thousands of stranded australians are going to be able to come back home much more easily and it will be a much more straightforward process because there will be no caps on arrival. as it stands, new south wales, where i am, will be the first state to open its borders internationally. there are still a lot of details to iron out, especially the proof of vaccination, whether it is

certificates or passports or qr codes. a loss of details about that but also the fact that different states have approached their covid—19 outbreaks differently so new south wales has decided it is going to live with the virus, it is going to live with the virus, it is going to live with the virus, it is going to reach 80% and it will open up. when and western australia have a very different picture there and they are still going for elimination and zero covid and have always been the strictest, always the first close, always reluctant to open a bodice and we still don't know where they stand on international borders because it will mean a spike in covid—19 cases so you can have a scenario in the nearfuture covid—19 cases so you can have a scenario in the near future where someone in sydney, where i am, for example, will be able to travel to london or paris or new york but they won't be able to travel to perth or brisbane because the states will still be closed so it will be an interesting, if confusing, scenario, but i think generally a huge sigh of relief for many australians with overseas travel now an option for so

many people after nearly two years of being isolated.— of being isolated. khalil reporting from sydney- _ people are reporting issues trying to register for scotland's new covid—19 reporting app right if it was launched. officials say overwhelming demand could be to blame for the problems as james shaw now reports. scotland's vaccine passport scheme will have an impact across a range of live events. n ig htclu bs face particular challenges. everyone going in will have to be checked. they'll have to show a qr code on a smartphone or have a printout of their certificate. all my friends are so angry because they are waiting on this letter form of a vaccine passport — it's just ridiculous. i think they're a good idea. i think. there nothing, like, wrong with it.

i mean, if people are getting vaccinated then there's nothing wrong with showing you are vaccinated, do you know what i mean? seems like an imposition, i seems unreasonable, seems like another nail in the coffin for the hospitality sector. i it's not yet clear what the impact will be for the big football clubs, but they will be relieved that enforcement is being delayed. rangers will play hibernian here at ibrox on saturday, and the club has told fans they must turn up with proof of vaccination. but how many will be checked? and will any fans be turned away from these gates? the scottish government insists the scheme is essential to manage the pandemic, and they say the delay will make it easier for businesses. there will be a period ofjust over two weeks when businesses get the opportunity to make sure the arrangements they have in place to do this are tested, can be adapted if necessary, and businesses get the confidence in those arrangements. no other part of the uk is bringing in a scheme quite like scotland's. as before, during the pandemic, the scottish approach is different

and more cautious than elsewhere. james shaw, bbc news, glasgow. in 2016, teenager died from severe allergic reaction after she ate a baguette which to lead to lead to hurt contain sesame seeds. her family have campaigned for manufacturers to include a full list of ingredients on the packaging of phonics they sell and now natasha is has come into force across the united kingdom. we can talk to the chief executive at the food standards agency who joins us now. thank you very much for being with us. just talk as though how things will change things. obviously, natasha's k so tragic. will this prevent something like that happening again?

glen kamara, who was racially abused by a slavia prague player last season, was booed and jeered, by young fans in their europa league defeat at sparta prague last night. rangers lost 1—0 — this headerjust about crossing the line in the first half. the game was initially supposed to be played behind closed doors, after sparta supporters had racially abused a monaco player in a champions league qualifier — but it was later decided to allow 10,000 schoolchildren to attend. the jeering at kamara reached a peak in the second half, when he was sent off. rangers are bottom of their group, as are celtic, who were thumped 4—0 at home, by bayer leverkusen. they've now conceded eight goals in their opening two games. but former celtic striker chris sutton, has tweeted that the manager needs patience and time, and will stick with his style of play. in contrast, west ham are loving their european return. they're top of their group after a 2—0 win at home to rapid vienna.

they opened the scoring on the half hour mark michail antonio crossing for declan rice to tap in. that triggered some ugly scenes in the crowd, with a number of away fans jumping over barriers to goad the home supporters, and both sides throwing objects. right at the end, sayid benrama wrapped up the points for west ham. and there was huge relief, as harry kane, came on as a substitute for tottenham and scored a hat—trick in a win 5—1 win, over ns mura in the europa conference league. goals have been harder to come by for the england captain this season, but he scored three in 20 minutes —

that was a morale—boosting win for the side after their humbling defeat by neighbours arsenal last weekend. i think it was a good performance, i think we started the gain a very strong. the energy of the buoys was important. it is always important to start the way we needed, we scored, we score again, we dominate. the only period i think is at the beginning of the second half that they lost a little bit of control, but the reaction was good to their call. overall, ithink but the reaction was good to their call. overall, i think a very good performance. australia's cricket captain tim paine says the ashes will go ahead this winter, even if some england players decide not to travel because of covid concerns. skipperjoe root and other members of the england team have expressed doubts over the tour because of the restrictions — and the relaxation only applies to australian citizens at the moment, but it could be extended to foreign travellers in time, which may allay england players' fears, with the first test on december 8. andy murray has been knocked out in the second round of the san diego open.

he lost in straight sets to the world number 10, casper ruud of norway, who described murray as a "legend" and said his fight back from serious injury had been an inspiration. murray was in the event as a wild card — and he's been given another into next week's indian wells masters. they were partying in perpignan last night, as catalan dragons, the rugby league club from that southern french city, reached their first ever grand final, after beating hull kr in the play—off semi—final. the dragons were always in control, and when fouad yaha went over in the second half the game was beyond doubt. they'll now face the winners of tonight's semi between leeds rhinos and st helens in the grand final a week tomorrow. that's all the sport for now. the green party of england and wales have elected new leaders. carla denyer and adrian ramsay

will take over the helm afterjonathan bartley announced injuly that he would stand down. our political correspondent, ione wells, is in central london. we are here in central london where they nearly dig of the green party have just been announced. this election was triggered whenjonathan bartley announced he would no longer be standing for leader and also sian berry also said she would not be seeking the election as co—leader of the green party. we do have the results in today. we can speak to the leaders as well now, we have carla denyer here, a bristol city councillor, as well as adrian ramsay, who is the former deputy leader but also somebody who has co—written the party's strategy going into those elections. as part of your campaign, both of you had an

emphasis on building this party to be a really serious electoral force. how do you plan on doing that? the green how do you plan on doing that? tte: green party is consistently polling third in the opinion polls, we have a fantastic opportunity to take the party to the next level. i think what people are seen across the country as more and more greens getting elected, pipping forward practical policies that make a difference to people's lives. making sure people have high quality local housing and services. if green councils are making a difference on the ground and waiting more and more greens elected at different levels of government, i think that will take the party forward to new heights. taste take the party forward to new heiahts. ~ . , take the party forward to new heiahts. ~ ., , , take the party forward to new heihts_ . ., , , ., heights. we are seeing parties go into their conferences _ heights. we are seeing parties go into their conferences really i into their conferences really gearing up for the next election. you currently have one mp. carla, you yourself have been touted as the possible next mp for the green party. possible next mp for the green .a _ . ., possible next mp for the green party. we are already doing really well in bristol. _ party. we are already doing really well in bristol. i— party. we are already doing really well in bristol. i am _ party. we are already doing really well in bristol. i am one - party. we are already doing really well in bristol. i am one of- party. we are already doing really

higher energy bills as a new price cap comes into effect. unvented gueye getting answers to your questions on that in a moment or two. first, though, colette smith has been looking at how people can save money on their energy bills. global gas prices, companies going bust, rising bills. it's all a bit much right now. but there are a few things you could do that will save you more than the amount your bills are going up by. i've come round tojenny�*s house to have a look around. hi, jenny. hi. and just see how much money we can save. this is culprit number one. yeah, my thermostat. ok, and do you like it nice and warm in the house? i do, i always have the heating on a lot. well, turning your heating down by one degree — so most of us have it about 22, 21 — if you turn it down to 20, do you reckon anyone would notice? no. well, it could save you as much as 55 quid through the year. do you ever put the telly on standby? no, ijust use the remote, it's easier to press the button

and throw the remote and up you go. well, turning off the telly either at the button or at the wall could save you 35 quid a year. the dishwasher and the washing machine. yeah. if... i guess they're always on, right? they are always on. if you do one less wash a week — whether that's on the washing machine or dishwasher — that's going to clock up some savings through the year. 0k. behind you here, we've got an led light. this is pretty expensive to get in the first place so it's a bit of an outlay to begin with, but once you've bought them, led lights to save a good lot of money each year. i've got you a draft excluder — cost me all of £2.50. i didn't splash out much but the point is this would save you ten times that in a year if you're sticking that at the bottom of your doors, and save a load of money through the year. were you trying to hide this one from me? my favourite appliance! my tumble dryer. ok, is this on a lot? it's on an awful lot. it uses a load of energy. if you were to use it a little bit less you could save a lot on your

energy bill through the year. jenny, i think we're there, i think we've done it. yeah. i think between us... i think you have! ..we have maybe beaten the price—cap rise. easy things that maybe we could all do, do you think, jenny? yeah, little changes make up big savings. those were some top tips. we are going to attempt to answer some of your questions about rising energy prices and bills. with me is lynn beattie, personal finance adviser and founder of the mrs mummypenny website, and faith archer, who's a personal finance journalist and founder of the much more with less website. let's kick off with lynn, a question

this is bbc news. the headlines at 12... after the murder of sarah everard by a serving police officer, london's metropolitan police tries to regain public confidence by increasing patrols and issuing advice on dealing with plain clothes police officers. officers up and down the land recognise the devastating consequences of this event. there is a job to be done to rebuild trust by the police, particularly, i have to say, in london. but a group of officers — believed to include couzens — are being investigated for allegedly sharing "discriminatory" messages on a whatsapp group. higher energy bills for 15 million households as a new, higher price cap comes into effect. australia says it will re—open it's

borders to fully vaccinated citizens in november — after 18 months of tight restrictions. scotland's vaccine passport scheme begins — affecting anyone wanting to go to a nightclub or a big event like a football match. natasha's law — new legislation requiring food retailers and coming up this hour....we hear more about the progress of europe's first mission to mercury. hello. the metropolitan police — has explained how it intends to better protect women and girls — after the murder of sarah everard. yesterday, wayne couzens — a serving officer with the met — was given a whole—life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing sarah in march. the head of the force, dame cressida dick, has faced repeated calls to resign — but she says lessons will be learnt.

let's look at how the met is trying to reassure the public. anyone stopped by a lone plain—clothes police officer can challenge their legitimacy, and request to speak to an operator on a police radio to check if the stop is genuine. plain—clothes officers will not be deployed on their own, and will be in pairs. an extra 650 new officers will patrol busy public areas in london where women have concerns about their safety. and the independent office for police conduct is investigating a group of officers who allegedly shared "discriminatory" messages on a whatsapp group — which were discovered during the wayne couzens investigation. serious questions are now being asked about whether opportunities were missed before sarah everard's murder. the met has admitted a vetting check on couzens was not done correctly when he joined the force. it meant an incident of indecent exposure in kent in 2015, involving a vehicle linked

to couzens, was missed. and around 72 hours before sarah everard's abduction, met police officers received a separate allegation of indecent exposure which also identified the vehicle involved as registered to couzens. simonjones reports. sarah everard. described in court as intelligent, talented, much loved. but the question now facing the met is, could and should her killer wayne couzens have been stopped earlier? i recognise that for some people a precious bond of trust has been damaged. there are no words that can fully express the fury and overwhelming sadness that we all feel about what happened to sarah. i am so sorry. so resign, then!

she didn't respond to questions about whether she should resign. this was the moment couzens falsely arrested sarah everard in south london in march. his arm outstretched, holding his warrant card. he'd go on to rape and murder her, her body dumped in woodland in kent. but, back in 2015, a car owned by couzens was linked to an allegation of indecent exposure. this wasn't picked up by police vetting. and, 72 hours before the kidnap, there was another allegation of indecent exposure. we'll be pushing ministers and the home secretary to have a look at exactly what is going wrong in the vetting processes, in the reporting processes, in the scrutiny of police officers, and how that gets done. the met says it will shortly publish a new strategy for tackling violence against women and girls. it will be deploying 650 new officers into busy public places where people often feel unsafe. it insists it's focused on improving detections for indecent exposure.

the fact that this awful man used the cover of being a police officer to commit his crime does have devastating implications for trust. and i know that has caused distress throughout the ranks in british policing, in the thousands of british police officers up and down the land. but what we hope is that over time the police can rebuild the trust of the british people. sarah everard's death prompted an outpouring of public grief. in new safety guidance the met says people should ask questions if they're concerned an officer is a threat. advice backed by a police watchdog. call the control room, call 999, and say i'm being asked to co—operate with someone who says he is a police officer, i want to know if this person is a police officer and if there are any real concerns that the person in question is going to be assaulted or abducted, then that 999 call will be treated as priority. couzens told lie after lie after his arrest. do you know sarah?

keep women safe. tables go back to this and say they will be able to rebuild trust unless they are open about the things that have gone wrong and that means we need an independent enquiry into this case, into why allegations weren't followed up, into how such a dangerous man could be a police for such a long time and into the wider country. we need that independent enquiry and we have had it after previous of the events that have damaged trust. we need one now. in damaged trust. we need one now. in the short term, the met have responded by saying they're putting on 650 extra officers into areas where women are concerned. they have also issued advice as to what happens if you are approached by a lone police officer in plain clothes, how how women should deal with that. what is your response to that? j with that. what is your response to that? 4' , ., , , that? i think the problem is if it is alwa s that? i think the problem is if it is always about _ that? i think the problem is if it is always about and _ that? i think the problem is if it is always about and advice - that? i think the problem is if it is always about and advice to i that? i think the problem is if it - is always about and advice to women are not changing the system again you don't rebuild trust. it is why we need a different approach with

much stronger action taken to address the wider problems around women and girls —— around violence against women and girls but also much more open assessment and some of the issues around the culture and procedure and systems within policing thatjust procedure and systems within policing that just acting procedure and systems within policing thatjust acting fast enough and effectively enough to address those problems. irate enough and effectively enough to address those problems. we have heard it is often _ address those problems. we have heard it is often claimed - address those problems. we have heard it is often claimed the - address those problems. we have| heard it is often claimed the police is institutionally racist. do you think it is may be institutionally misogynist as well? that think it is may be institutionally misogynist as well?— think it is may be institutionally misogynist as well? that is why you need a proper _ misogynist as well? that is why you need a proper independent - misogynist as well? that is why you need a proper independent enquiry| misogynist as well? that is why you i need a proper independent enquiry to actually be also asked these questions?— actually be also asked these ruestions? ~ . . . actually be also asked these cuestions? ~ . . . ., questions? what you think? what do ou think? questions? what you think? what do you think? we _ questions? what you think? what do you think? we know— questions? what you think? what do you think? we know for— questions? what you think? what do you think? we know for example - questions? what you think? what do | you think? we know for example that there are cases _ you think? we know for example that there are cases where _ you think? we know for example that there are cases where a _ you think? we know for example that there are cases where a police - there are cases where a police officer may be a of domestic abuse but they are not suspended while those allegations are actually investigated. that is not taking it seriously enough. we know that there are cases where there have been we've heard in our select committee we've heard in our select committee we have heard from rape victims who weren't taken seriously enough.

there is an immense amount of excellent work being done by dedicated police officers right across the country but as long as we have these problems in the system as long as we don't have broad enough action taking seriously the good work is undermined. i action taking seriously the good work is undermined.— action taking seriously the good work is undermined. i started off by askin: ou work is undermined. i started off by asking you about — work is undermined. i started off by asking you about cressida _ work is undermined. i started off by asking you about cressida dick- work is undermined. i started off by asking you about cressida dick in i work is undermined. i started off by asking you about cressida dick in a| asking you about cressida dick in a savvy enough. are you one of those who think she should resign over this? —— if she is sorry enough. yvette cooper, i'm not sure you can hear me? de think cressida dick should resign? sorry, last question if you can hear me, do you think cressida dick should resign? no, i think we have lost yvette cooper. but we got the gist of what yvette cooper was saying. chair of the home affairs committee and labour mp.

now, more than 15 million households across england, scotland and wales are to face higher energy bills, as the increased price cap comes into effect from today. a typical bill for those on a default tariff will rise by around £140 pounds a year, with those on prepayment meters expected to pay even more. our personal finance correspondent kevin peachey reports as the temperature dips, so our energy bills rise. the cost of heating and lighting our homes is limited by the price cap, but this is the biggest ever increase at a time when many household budgets are being squeezed. it affects people on standard tariffs in england, wales and scotland — generally those who haven't switched for a long time, or whose time—limited tariffs have expired. the new cap means they will now pay £1,277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity — that's £139 a year more on their bill than under the previous cap. prepayment—meter customers face a higher typical bill of £1,309 a year — that's an increase of £153 on the previous time.

those who use more than the average amount of energy in their homes will face bigger bills because the policy caps price, not the total bill. those affected are normally encouraged to switch suppliers for a cheaper deal. this time, the massive rise in the cost of wholesale gas in recent weeks has stripped the market of better offers. it's also led to the collapse of nine suppliers. their customers will now pay a more expensive tariff in line with the price cap. surviving firms say they are having to buy wholesale energy at a much higher price than the retail cap allows them to sell it for. we're really worried about making sure customers get through this period and so i don't think anyone is asking for the price cap to be increased again.

it is what it is, we are doing our best to get customers through it, we're trying to support well—run business through this period, and otherwise, if we need to do anything else, we're talking to government. analysts say companies' extra costs will be reflected when the cap is revised in the spring, at a level likely to be significantly more expensive for bill—payers. kevin peachey, bbc news. greta thunberg has joined another claimant to strike and criticise the efforts of politicians to tackle climate change is that he is a blah blah blah. said young people has every right to be angry about the state of climate change. detectives investigating the murder of the genus leva mckee have a two men aged 44 and 53 who were arrested in the londonderry earlier this morning under the terrorism act and have been taken to belfast for questioning. leva mckee who was 29

right down to the hobby on the heat. this includes actually dismantling cop culture that fuels gender—based misogyny, sexism, racism, lgbtq y discrimination. the purpose of the police is to serve and pursue justice. justice, my essay, for all victims and i do think we need to ensure that police officers serve and pursue the perpetrators and that means also pursuing perpetrators who denigrate the uniform, denigrate in the line of duty, and to pursue them within the police force as well. because you see, you know, we can, it is important to deploy extra police on our streets but we need a... we need a dismantling of the culture which allows complicity, which allows police officers to turn a blind eye. now, this officer, this

criminal who murdered sarah everard, can police —— kent police have questions to answer from 2015. no onejoined the dots in relation questions to answer from 2015. no one joined the dots in relation to what happened in kent police and subsequently allowing this criminal to actually go on to work in uniform, serve our streets, shame the police force in the way that he did. ~ , ., . ~ the police force in the way that he did. ~ i. . ~ . the police force in the way that he did. . the police force in the way that he did. when you talk about cop culture and the need — did. when you talk about cop culture and the need to _ did. when you talk about cop culture and the need to dismantle _ did. when you talk about cop culture and the need to dismantle it, - did. when you talk about cop culture and the need to dismantle it, how i did. when you talk about cop culture | and the need to dismantle it, how do you do that? what does that mean? does not mean getting rid of certain officers? does it mean changes in the way officers are trained? offices are educated? irate the way officers are trained? offices are educated? we need to be lookin: at offices are educated? we need to be looking at all— offices are educated? we need to be looking at all those _ offices are educated? we need to be looking at all those things _ offices are educated? we need to be looking at all those things and - looking at all those things and more. they make a plea for greater accountability but i also want to say this. heads should roll in relation to those who failed, who continue to fail, victims of gender—based violence and ijust

want to remind us that, you know, the feminine side censuses stated that at least 16 serving police officers have killed women. why is this not being taken seriously? why does it take another murder for us to collectively sit up and pay attention?— to collectively sit up and pay attention? , . . , ., ., attention? use a head should roll, deemina attention? use a head should roll, deeming cressida _ attention? use a head should roll, deeming cressida dick— attention? use a head should roll, deeming cressida dick is _ attention? use a head should roll, deeming cressida dick is well- attention? use a head should roll, l deeming cressida dick is well ahead of metropolitan police because of course you have got a woman in charge of the metropolitan police. i charge of the metropolitan police. i think we need a public enquiry to ensure that police officers who failed to protect and serve citizens from all communities, you only have to look at the way in which the treatment of... henry and nicholas... there are so many woman from black and racialised minority communities who are subject to a hostile environment.

often and unfortunately the punishments are not enough. click it in australia's captain tim paine says the ashes will go ahead this winter even if some england players decide not to travel because of covid—i9 concerns. captainjoe root and the other members of the england team have expressed doubts over the term because of the restrictions and the relaxation in the advice of australian citizens of the moment but it could be extended to foreign travellers in time which may allow england players fears with the first test due to start in september the 8th. warwickshire are the new champions at the bob willis trophy. they beat lancashire at lord's champions at the bob willis trophy. they beat lancashire at lords and in some style too. tom bailey was the last months as follows warwickshire secured the victory by an innings and 299 runs with the day and i have to spare. that completes and i have to spare. that completes a domestic double for warwickshire who also won the county championship. the british boxerjoe

we can now talk to the chief executive of the british meat producers association. talk is about the problem you're facing.— the problem you're facing. started in on the brexit _ the problem you're facing. started in on the brexit time _ the problem you're facing. started in on the brexit time when - the problem you're facing. started in on the brexit time when we - the problem you're facing. started in on the brexit time when we hadj in on the brexit time when we had been part of europe and very reliant on uk workers, —— non—uk workers, mainly from europe and this has gradually been building as we got further away from that point and of course covid—i9 has caused us some more problems as well, really, so this time last year i was talking about a 10% shortage of labour in ourfarms and now about a 10% shortage of labour in our farms and now we are looking at 15, 15.5, 15% our farms and now we are looking at 15, 15 .5, 15% short and some of them are higher than that, up to 25% short on staff so this is a growing problem and has been growing for some time, really, and we have tried all the things that governments asked us to do in terms of

increasing wages and things like that but there are a lot of people and a loss ofjob vacancies out there at the moment and it is really hard to agree and particularly what we need a skilled butjust to do this. it is not something we can look for people of the street. echoes in a way of the shortage of lorry drivers we have been saying and the government have been telling industry in general to pay british workers more. as she said, you have offered higher wages will maybe haven't offered enough? mac well, this is the trouble. some of our plants reported they have increased wages by sort of 11% across the board. i know some starting wages have gone up by nearly sort of 20%. that doesn't seem to be pulling the men. and, of course, the end of the day, someone has to pay for this. this is an industry which works in quite tight margin so somewhere along the line these wages have to be funded from somewhere and that is

the missing piece of the jigsaw and it is all very well saying to everyone to pay more but where does the money come from to pay more. so, in the short term what would you like? with the lorry drivers we have seen is temporary visas for european lorry drivers claim? in similar? would that work?— lorry drivers claim? in similar? would that work? along with a lot of other associations _ would that work? along with a lot of other associations in _ would that work? along with a lot of other associations in the _ would that work? along with a lot of other associations in the country - would that work? along with a lot of other associations in the country we | other associations in the country we joined and we which to the prime minister asking for a covid—19 recovery package issuing short—term visas to help the industry out. you know, i think this is slightly longer term thanjust the know, i think this is slightly longer term than just the run—up to christmas and just fixing the christmas and just fixing the christmas problem. this needs to be looked at on a wider basis and i think it's frustrating from our point of view that only gave year or so, actually, the other government commission, the migrate of the advisory committee said to look at this and have an independent view it

and actually do have a plan for the country where the poms were likely to arise and said the easing of immigration policy that would help resolve these issues and that migrator the advisory committee report was actually just discarded, really, and has not been implemented. in that report a loss of the answers and a lot of the solutions to the problems... hagar solutions to the problems... how much of this _ solutions to the problems... how much of this sheathing is because, for example, by brexit, how much by covid—19 and about longer term factors? covid-19 and about longer term factors? ., ' ' covid-19 and about longer term factors? ., " , . covid-19 and about longer term factors? ., " factors? covid-19 has been a big factors? covid-19 has been a big factor because _ factors? covid-19 has been a big factor because we _ factors? covid-19 has been a big factor because we haven't - factors? covid-19 has been a big factor because we haven't been l factors? covid-19 has been a big - factor because we haven't been able to train people and we haven't had the mobility of people around the country. you know, our plants are mainly cited in places where we need to get animals to and also training has been really difficult with social distancing and plants and things like that so recruitment and training during covid—19 has been a

source of factor. i don't actually blame brexit. it is about the immigration policy introduced since both are causing the problems. ihlick both are causing the problems. nick alan, thank — both are causing the problems. nick alan. thank you- — both are causing the problems. nick alan, thank you. chief executive of the british meat processors association. thank you. the australian prime minister scott morrison says fully vaccinated australians will be able to enter and leave the country freely from november. it's the first time they will be able to do so without permission since australia closed its international borders in march 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. it means millions of citizens can travel out of the country and some 16,000 australians currently abroad will be able to return home. it will be time very soon that we'll be able to open those international borders again and that will enable australians who are fully vaccinated and australians and residents of australia who are overseas who are fully vaccinated to be able to travel again and to be able to lift those caps. this will happen next month.

that's when it will start happening, from next month. scott morrison. we can talk to the independent�*s travel editor. i guess there will be a surge in flight bookings?— there will be a surge in flight bookinus? , ,, . bookings? just to put a perspective on this, it bookings? just to put a perspective on this. it was _ bookings? just to put a perspective on this, it was march _ bookings? just to put a perspective on this, it was march 2020 - bookings? just to put a perspective on this, it was march 2020 when i bookings? just to put a perspective | on this, it was march 2020 when the australian close their borders completely. they are allowed in the australian citizens and permanent residents who were brought to coming —— they allowed only australian citizens. that continues. i know australians in the uk who are still having to queue up to get back to their own country and when they get there they are going to go into two weeks of quarantine either in a hotel of innate mining camp in the northern territory but that is all going to change as you heard scott morrison say. the first flights on qantas i think going in on the 19th of november, which will be a great

advantage for people who are in the uk. there is going to be a flight three times a week from london. i havejust three times a week from london. i have just checked the prices, not too bad considering it is a monopoly situation. £1048 it will cost you of other not you unless you happen to have an australian passport or you are a permanent resident there which i don't believe you are. trio. are a permanent resident there which i don't believe you are.— i don't believe you are. no, i'm not, i don't believe you are. no, i'm not. actually- — i don't believe you are. no, i'm not, actually. simon, _ i don't believe you are. no, i'm not, actually. simon, let - i don't believe you are. no, i'm not, actually. simon, let me i i don't believe you are. no, i'm. not, actually. simon, let mejust also ask you, in terms of australia's policy on all of this they were criticised for being incredibly draconian on this but at the same time they were relatively slow in getting the people vaccinated?— slow in getting the people vaccinated? , . , vaccinated? oh, sure, and there is an absolute _ vaccinated? oh, sure, and there is an absolute punch-up _ vaccinated? oh, sure, and there is an absolute punch-up going - vaccinated? oh, sure, and there is an absolute punch-up going on - vaccinated? oh, sure, and there is| an absolute punch-up going on and vaccinated? oh, sure, and there is. an absolute punch-up going on and i an absolute punch—up going on and i listen so you didn't have to do to the whole a0 minute press conference and loads of it was all about well, new south wales are doing this in victoria probably going to sign up. they are the two states with the highest vaccination levels and the key number there is 80% of the adult population but they are also the two

states with the highest infection rate and if you are queensland, if you are western australia, if you are tasmania, you are absolutely not signed up for this so there is an awful lot to be sorted out now and he actually said, scott morrison, you might be in sydney and be able to fiji or bali but you won't be able to go to queensland and he said he didn't know what the queensland tourist industry would think about that. having said that, though, he said almost exactly nothing about people who were desperate to see family in australia, people who just want to go on holiday there, for goodness' sake. he simply the 13 migrant workers and two students who he said he might have some good news for next year. —— he simply referred to migrant workers and to students but there is absolutely no haste in australia opening up to all the bits you want to go there. it is australia opening up to all the bits you want to go there.— you want to go there. it is nice to see ou you want to go there. it is nice to see you in _ you want to go there. it is nice to see you in an _ you want to go there. it is nice to see you in an airport. _ you want to go there. it is nice to see you in an airport. you - you want to go there. it is nice to see you in an airport. you off - you want to go there. it is nice to see you in an airport. you off to l see you in an airport. you off to some lovely?— some lovely? i'm certainly not

from today, anyone entering nightclubs and most large—scale events will need to prove they've had two doses of a coronavirus vaccine. officials say overwhelming demand could be to blame for the problems. james shaw reports. scotland's vaccine passport scheme will have an impact across a range of live events. n ig htclu bs face particular challenges. everyone going in will have to be checked. they'll have to show a qr code on a smartphone or have a printout of their certificate. all my friends are so angry because they are waiting on this letter form of a vaccine passport, it's just ridiculous. i think they are a good idea. there's nothing, like, wrong with it. so i mean if people are getting vaccinated then there is nothing wrong with showing you are vaccinated, do you know what i mean? seems like an imposition, i seems unreasonable, seems like another nail in the coffin for the hospitality sector. i it's not yet clear what the impact will be for the big football clubs, but they will be relieved that

enforcement is being delayed. rangers will play hibernian here at ibrox on saturday, and the club has told fans they must turn up with proof of vaccination. but how many will be checked, and will any fans be turned away from these gates? the scottish government insists the scheme is essential to manage the pandemic, and they say the delay will make it easier for businesses. there will be a period ofjust over two weeks when businesses get the opportunity to make sure the arrangements they have in place to do this are tested, can be adapted if necessary, and businesses get the confidence in those arrangements. no other part of the uk is bringing in a scheme quite like scotland's. as before, during the pandemic, the scottish approach is different and more cautious than elsewhere. james shaw, bbc news, glasgow. a government minister has warned shortages at petrol filling stations

may continue for another "week or so." the policing minister, kit malthouse, said there is still strong demand for fuel in some parts of the country, and borisjohnson would review the situation if it deteriorated further. our transport correspondent, caroline davies, says the fuel shortage problem is more acute in some parts of the uk than in others. the scotland situation seems to improving, according to the petrol retailers association, wales seems to be improving as well, but london and the south—east are still potentially struggling at the moment. we had figures yesterday, we are yet to get figures today from the pra to see how the situation is developing. they did tell us yesterday that it seems to have stalled, it was the same percentage of their members that had run dry that day as had done the day before. many will be hoping that this is a blip and things will be improving, but of course we are waiting to see those figures. if they do continue to stall

or potential get worse that does raise the question of what can be done to try and reassure customers further so they can go back to purchasing petrol as they did before. the government had said that they hoped it would start to ease as people filled up, once they had a full tank of fuel, then the whole panic buying situation will start to calm down. we are not actually having a shortage of fuel, the main issue is of course that you can't get the fuel to the pumps. at least that was the initial situation. now we are also in a situation where the demand has increased so rapidly that many operators are struggling to fill up. i was speaking to one petrol retailer earlier today, who was saying that normally they would be selling about 35,000 gallons, now they're up to around 60,000 gallons. it is a huge amount more that they are selling on a regular basis, and that is what they're trying to keep up with. so it is not necessarily always about these deliveries being delayed or late or not having enough of them, it's just the fact that the demand has gone up so rapidly. they are trying to keep up with them. what is the latest on the driver situation in terms of both

the military and also the visas that were issued, 5000 visas? do we know if and when any of those foreign lorry drivers are going to come? on the army to start with, we haven't yet been given confirmation that they are out on the roads, we knew that they were getting additional training and that was going to happen in the next few days. we are not certain if they have yet appeared on the roads helping out. we know that the reserve tankers came out from wednesday, that is being driven by civilian drivers. in terms of the visa situation, these temporary visas are expected, the scheme is meant to be starting to roll together later this month in october. there was concern yesterday speaking to the haulage industry that the government might reduce the length of these visas from three months down to two months. the haulage industry originally said they wanted six months because it takes a really long time to be able to train up uk drivers to fill those spaces and they wanted to have that longer period of time. the government have said

three month period. now they are worried that could get squeezed and squeezed and reduced down. they say that is not long enough. the government of course has always been quite emphatic that it is doing lots of other things, lots of other measures to try and make sure that drivers can be trained, that tests have been streamlined, that they are able to move people through the process and try and have these as ukjobs, not as foreign dependent jobs. but at the moment the visa scheme has not yet started, people can't yet apply for these visas. in 2016, teenager natasha ednan—laperouse died from a severe allergic reaction after she ate a baguette that, unknowingly to her, contained sesame seeds. since then, her family have campaigned for businesses to include a full list of ingredients on the packaging of food they sell — and today natasha's law comes into effect across the uk. john maguire has the story. her death may well save many, many lives. natasha ednan—laperouse was flying from heathrow with herfather and best friend when she bought

some food, a baguette. natasha knew she had a food allergy, and always checked labels. but the bread had been baked with sesame seeds — not included in the list of ingredients, and which triggered a severe reaction. natasha suffered several cardiac arrests on the plane, and died later in a french hospital. she was only 15. this new legislation, called natasha's law, comes into force today and closes a loophole so that now all pre—wrapped food — including sandwiches, fast—food and cheese or meat from deli counters — must be clearly labelled with a full list of ingredients. also 1a major allergens — including eggs, peanuts and sesame seeds — must be highlighted in the list. the food standards agency calls it a huge step in helping the two million people who live with food allergies in the uk.

natasha's parents describe it as a bittersweet moment for them but, five years on from their daughter's death, say they they know in their hearts she would be very proud of the new rules in her name — natasha's law. john maguire, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: the metropolitan police's response to the sentencing of former officer wayne couzens — i have bills for 15 million

another decade—long project that we would like to have in space. our objective is the exploration of planet mercury, which is a bit of a forgotten object in the solar system. the planet has been visited before by two nasa missions, in the 70s and in the last decade. but for europe and our partner agencies, the japanese space agency, it's a first. we have never been there before. a new law comes into force across england today which bans under 18s from getting botox—style injections or dermal lip fillers for cosmetic reasons. it follows years of campaigning to regulate the non—surgical beauty industry, but there are warnings the changes don't go far enough. our health correspondent, anna collinson, reports. i just saw this look on herface of panic, and my heart started racing, and i could feel blood just trickling down the side of my face. laura was offered a cheap filler treatment to plump up her lips, but the practitioner accidentally punctured an artery.

my lip was massive, it was black, particularly underneath it, but inside of my lip had just filled with blood. i almost passed out with the shock of seeing the state of my face. complications like this need to be dealt with quickly to prevent more serious possible problems like blindness, but laura says her practitioner panicked and didn't know what to do. many practitioners, including ones at this clinic, adhere to strict safety guidelines. but due to a lack of regulation in the nonsurgical beauty industry, effectively anyone can carry out potentially dangerous treatments. from today there will be more protection but only for some. it's now illegal for under—18s to receive botox style injections, or dermalfillers, in england for non—medical reasons. though the ban doesn't cover other invasive procedures, like thread lifts. this clinic only treats

patients over 21. it was absolutely long overdue. for purely cosmetic treatments, really, you don't need anything when you are so young, so it will be unnecessary, it would be a waste of time, a waste of money. latest figures estimate around 70,000 of these treatments are carried out in under—18s per year. now anyone caught administering to this age group could go to prison. update on possible legislation in wales and scotland are expected in the near future, while northern ireland has no current plans. one of the helpful things about this bill is it fits into an existing licensing provision for, for example, sunbeds or tattoo parlours. so the enforcement will be the same through local authorities and for the police, so there is an established provisions, which will mean that it is quite easy to go and enforce. young women believe demand for these treatments are down to constant pressure to look a certain way. i see it so much with my friends, that they have these expectations of themselves

and they are so critical of themselves, which i think has 100% come from social media. it's definitely hard to tell which photos are edited and which ones are not, and then you get a really unrealistic body image. so, i'm 20, i have friends who've i had filler and botox in the past, | and they have become addictedi to getting it done, they're never really satisfied with the outcomes, and they are always _ looking for more. the law change is a huge achievement for those who have been calling for regulation for seven years. this feels like a really important first step, but the industry has still got such a long way to go. the fact that these treatments can be done by anyone with no training or experience, they can purchase their products of the internet, and insurance is a huge thing for us, we really want to make it a legal requirement. but anyone over 18 remains as vulnerable as ever. like laura, who is too scared to get the bump in her lip fixed, but is also grateful it didn't turn out worse.

this year's nature conservancy photo contest do more than 100,000 entrants from 158 countries. but of course that there is only one winner. here is that winning image. it is a western lowland gorilla walking through a cloud of butterflies in the central african republic. the winner wins a camera package worth nearly £3000 for the work. thankfully look at the weekend prospects with nick miller. spells of wind and rain will still be around over the next several days and into the weekend. we will all see some rain at some stage, the wind is also picking up. some travel disruption in some spots as well. the culprit for the weekend as an air of low pressure which on saturday will bring a swathe of really heavy rain in particular

across wales and england. the winds are strengthening with this, gales in places. low pressure bringing strong winds across the far north of scotland on its they. today is one of the brighter days. gaps in the cloud here giving some spells of sunshine but also showers. they are particular across the north—west of the uk, north wales, north—west england, northern ireland, especially into western scotland. really gusty winds are developing here as well, could be up to 60 mph in the later stages of the day. hail and thunder are possible with the showers as well. they will continue into tonight, particularly north—western parts. much cooler night on the way tonight, especially in wales and england. widespread single figure temperatures. tomorrow, you may start the day dry,

but it is just a case of waiting for that's wave of heavy rain to come from the area of low pressure. early wrinklies for northern ireland, dry with some sunny spells, rain pushing into scotland. but wales and england seeing some particularly heavy rain, with 30-a0 seeing some particularly heavy rain, with 30—a0 millimetres falling in places. very difficult to conditions, winds picking up as well and temperatures into the low teens. some of the strongest winds will be towards the south coast of england, then the north sea coast, particularly east anglia going into saturday afternoon and saturday evening. some gusts of up to 6 to five miles per hour on expose cows before easing on sunday. showers moving from west to east on a sunday. gusts and the northern isles may be between 60—70 mph for a time. temperatures towards the mid and low teens. sunshine and showers on monday, more blue pressure on tuesday.

the metropolitan police tries to regain public trust, in the wake of the murder of sarah everard by one of its officers. the force gives new guidance about plain clothes officers, and what people can do if stopped by one — but critics say it isn't women who need to change their actions. it puts the onus on women. it is not about the women, it's about the men that are killing us. especially if those men are the people that are paid and appointed to keep us safe. it's emerged wayne couzens, now jailed for life,

was believed to be on a whatsapp group
