this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. the home secretary says police must raise the bar, by taking the harassment of women more seriously. her thoughts are echoed by health secretary sajid javid. what the metropolitan police have said about the reforms that they will be looking at i think is absolutely right. we need to also be looking at what bore a government can do to help build that confidence. the army will begin delivering fuel to petrol stations across the uk from monday, after days of queuing at the pumps. provisional clinical trial results suggest an experimental drug for severe covid cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half. and two new streams of lava, pose a further threat of destruction as the la palma volcano forces

thousands more to flee. hello, and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the home secretary has said police must raise the bar by taking the harassment of women more seriously. priti patel said crimes such as flashing and verbal abuse should not be taken lightly. she said women should feel confident to call out such offences. ministers have promised reform to the criminaljustice system, following the murder of sarah everard by a serving police officer. simonjones reports.

the death of sarah everard prompted an outpouring of public grief. now the government says it is determined her murder will bring about permanent change in how society deals with violence against women and girls. the prime minister says there are too few prosecutions and convictions for sexual violence. the time from report to referral, from referral to court proceedings, from court proceedings to the conclusion — all three of those segments — is far too long. and what you are seeing is the whole system snarled up with evidential problems, data issues, mobile phones disclosure, all that kind of stuff, and it's a nightmare for the women concerned. wayne couzens kidnapped, raped and murdered sarah everard, he then dumped her body in woodland in kent. cars registered to him had previously been linked to two allegations of indecent exposure, but he wasn't identified as a potential sex offender.

it's claimed couzens also used a whatsapp group to swap misogynistic messages with officers from the metropolitan police, the civil nuclear constabulary, and the norfolk constabulary. we also have to address the issues going on in the police force, and you will have seen this stuff about the officers on a whatsapp group. we have got to come down very hard on them. the home secretary says the police must raise the bar by taking harassment and flashing more seriously. priti patel told the telegraph, they should not be considered low level crimes. the met says it is putting more officers in places where people feel unsafe. we're absolutely committed to tackling violence against women and girls. it is one of our priorities. so you will see us out on patrol in hot spots. but there are calls for more scrutiny of the police themselves. this has been going on for many, many years, and i'm rather tired of police forces saying "we are going to learn letters from tragedy." the lessons don't

seem to be learned. women's suffering of this sort of stuff has to stop. you have to listen, and police forces are not doing that. and so it has to be listened at a lower level, and i'm sorry that means resourcing and more police available and more money put into policing and the court system. but we also have to have much better processes of training police and those in the justice system. opposition politicians accused the government of starving the police and courts of resources, but there is a growing consensus that the death of sarah everard must act as a watershed moment. simon jones, bbc news. deputy chief constable maggie blyth is the incoming national police lead for violence against women and girls in england and wales. she says that part of her new role will be to look at how standards can be raised and how officers can report discrimination amongst

their own ranks. asl as i come into the role, i'm reviewing _ as i come into the role, i'm reviewing a new national strategy from _ reviewing a new national strategy from all _ reviewing a new national strategy from all police forces across the country — from all police forces across the country about violence against women and girls. _ country about violence against women and girls, and a component of that is to look— and girls, and a component of that is to look internally as to how our culture, _ is to look internally as to how our culture, our— is to look internally as to how our culture, our behaviours and our standards — culture, our behaviours and our standards have to be extremely high. the public— standards have to be extremely high. the public expect of us that we are people _ the public expect of us that we are people they can trust, and we know that within — people they can trust, and we know that within society there are behaviours and conduct and traits linked _ behaviours and conduct and traits linked to— behaviours and conduct and traits linked to misogyny that we need to address— linked to misogyny that we need to address as — linked to misogyny that we need to address as a society. policing will reflect _ address as a society. policing will reflect that, too. it's really important that our standards are higher— important that our standards are higher and as important that our standards are higherand as high important that our standards are higher and as high as they can be at all times _ higher and as high as they can be at alltimes. part higher and as high as they can be at all times. part of the strategy, part of— all times. part of the strategy, part of what i will be looking at, is reviewing how we set those standards, and looking very closely at work _ standards, and looking very closely at work already under way in many forces _ at work already under way in many forces at _ at work already under way in many forces at establishing networks so that officers and staff can call out bad behaviour, can call out anything

to take tank is full of highly flammable liquid into built—up areas onto forecourts where you and i fill up onto forecourts where you and i fill up our cars. it has to be the case that they get the appropriate training to do so. i think we would all expect that to be the right thing. at the same time, we have to work with industry so that we know where we are sending them. we cannot just send them to random garages. it has to be properly deployed. as well as support from the armed forces, more drivers will be allowed into the uk from overseas. a new scheme will enable up to 300 tanker drivers to come and work here immediately. haulage firms will find potential recruits and apply to the government for licences. up to 4,700 lorry drivers specialising in food delivery. to arrive from the end of this month. this temporary visa scheme has been extended until the end of february. and 5,500 poultry workers will be granted the right to work here, too, until the end of the year.

ministers hope these measures, along with efforts to recruit more british staff, will address some of the problems in the supply chain — but there could still be a tough winter ahead. peter saull, bbc news. brian madderson is chairman of the petrol retailers association. brian, good morning to you. thank you for being with us. let me start with the impact you hope that the use of these military drivers will make. what difference and how quickly? make. what difference and how cuickl ? ~ . , make. what difference and how cuickl ? ~ ., , . quickly? well, we are seeing much the same as _ quickly? well, we are seeing much the same as yesterday. _ quickly? well, we are seeing much the same as yesterday. an - quickly? well, we are seeing much i the same as yesterday. an improving situation from the midlands through the north and into scotland. but in fact a worsening situation in london, the south—east and parts of east england. so what we have been asking government, and i've had a long conversation with grant shapps this morning, it's very good the government are talking to industry about the problems. what i've asked him is that the prioritisation for

deliveries must now go to london and the south—east and to the independent forecourts that make up 65% of all forecourts across the uk. if your local filling station doesn't have a fuel and then you travel further and find yet more filling stations without fuel, then consumer confidence is going to remain at a low ebb. go local first? absolutely, to the local filling stations, the transient filling stations, the transient filling stations, that people pass and see. and they can tell whether it is dry or not. if they are starting to get fuel in, starting to work normally, then consumer confidence will return quite quickly. share then consumer confidence will return quite quickly-— quite quickly. are you clear by the government _ quite quickly. are you clear by the government didn't _ quite quickly. are you clear by the government didn't begin - quite quickly. are you clear by the government didn't begin this - government didn't begin this training of military drivers earlier, because there was a long period where they were saying, then they acknowledge that they might put them on standby, then they did put

them on standby, then they did put them on standby, then they did put them on standby. meanwhile, days have been going past. presumably, had they done that, the deliveries could have started sooner. 0r had they done that, the deliveries could have started sooner. or if they found they were necessary, they could havejust they found they were necessary, they could have just stood them down? the could have 'ust stood them down? the driver could have just stood them down? tie: driver training has could have just stood them down? tie driver training has been could have just stood them down? ti9 driver training has been taking place over some years previously, and it's reallyjust making sure that the vehicles are roadworthy for busy motorways, city centres, that the drivers are absolutely prepared for this. so, the drivers are absolutely prepared forthis. so, really, short contingency work needed to make sure, as the secretary of state has said, you are driving 42,000 litres of highly inflammable fuel in some of highly inflammable fuel in some of the most crowded road conditions possible, particularly in london and the south—east, so they've got to be absolutely up to the game, and i'm sure when they come out this weekend they will be fit for purpose. the other bad news _ they will be fit for purpose. the other bad news that drivers may be about to face is an increase in the

cost of fuel at the pumps.- about to face is an increase in the cost of fuel at the pumps. yes, that is i'm cost of fuel at the pumps. yes, that is m afraid — cost of fuel at the pumps. yes, that is i'm afraid the _ cost of fuel at the pumps. yes, that is i'm afraid the next _ cost of fuel at the pumps. yes, that is i'm afraid the next shock. - cost of fuel at the pumps. yes, that is i'm afraid the next shock. this . is i'm afraid the next shock. this week, we have seen wholesale prices go week, we have seen wholesale prices 9° up week, we have seen wholesale prices go up by as much 3p a litre. next week, when the new stock does start arriving at the fuel stations, the retailers have got no alternative but to put the prices up. we can see pump price creep by up to 3p a litre next week. this is definitely not profiteering. this is purely the result of global factors. this year, the price of crude oil has gone up by over 50%. recently, we have seen a weakening of the pound against sterling. those two global factors are affecting wholesale prices, which are going to be a bit of a shock, particularly when you think thatjust i2 shock, particularly when you think thatjust 12 months ago you could buy unleaded fuel for 115, diesel

416, 25 p per litre cheaper. this is a nasty shock. the 416, 25 p per litre cheaper. this is a nasty shock-— a nasty shock. the cheaper pound means that _ a nasty shock. the cheaper pound means that you _ a nasty shock. the cheaper pound means that you cannot _ a nasty shock. the cheaper pound means that you cannot get - a nasty shock. the cheaper pound means that you cannot get so - a nasty shock. the cheaper pound i means that you cannot get so much for it abroad when you are buying that crude. thank you very much. there could be a breakthrough in the way we treat covid—19. interim trials suggest a new experimental drug could cut the risk of hospitalisation, or death, by about half. if authorised by regulators, the treatment will be the first oral, antiviral medication for covid—19. mark lobel reports. trial suggest it could cut hospitalisations or deaths by half. 0bviously hospitalisations or deaths by half. obviously very good news. the company, when they briefed us last night, had mentioned that they would

the role that has gone badly wrong, according to two charities. kidney care uk and blood cancer uk say many people are still struggling to access their third jab a month after it was recommended by the the vaccine experts, thejcvi. nhs england say eligible patients should be offered the injection by the end of next week. steve harrison is among those still waiting. ijust think it has been pretty terrible, the communication right from the very beginning. it's made a lot of patients quite anxious and angry, because without this we are kind of almost shielding again. vaccine passports came into effect for the first time in scotland last night. people need proof of vaccination to gain entry to nightclubs or large events. the scheme will be mandatory on the 18th of october. ajudge rejected a challenge to the roll—out by

the nightclub industry. the launch of the app has been hit by technical problems. we've ultimately made a decision as a society to respect people who don't want to get vaccinated. i think that's why it's a little bit disappointing, even though i myself am double vaccinated, that there isn't an option for people who don't want to get vaccinated. we're not sort of respecting their opinions by being able to submit a negative lateral flow and then still be able to go into a nightclub. we're saying, effectively, "don't come". the queen is due to address msps at holyrood in the next hour to mark the opening of the sixth session of the scottish parliament. the ceremony would normally take place injuly, but was postponed because of coronavirus. this will be the snp's fourth consecutive term in government, following their victory in may. georgians are heading to the polls in local elections, where the atmosphere has been described as "highly polarised" with reports of violence and intimidation of oppostion candidates. the vote has been overshadowed by friday's arrest of the country's

former leader, mikheil saakashvili, just a few hours after he returned from years in exile. he posted this video on social media, calling on voters to oppose the governing party. he was tried and convicted in absentia of abusing his office during his two terms as president, and faces six years injail in georgia. it's an important day in the lead up to the environmental summit cop26, where so many hopes for a proper solution to combatting climate change rest. climate ministers from across the globe are meeting in milan to hold talks before the crucial meeting in november. it is the meeting to clear the decks before the world leaders, some are hundred of them have said they will come to glasgow in the first two weeks of november. before they get there, their environment ministers and their chief negotiators have a lot of work to do to essentially tie up lot of work to do to essentially tie up a lot of loose ends that were carried over from up a lot of loose ends that were carried overfrom previous meetings. they don't want their bosses coming to glasgow and having to deal with

the nitty—gritty of some very technical issues, such as carbon markets, the article six process. they don't want their bosses to go near those things. they want them to deal with the bigger picture of how do we take the bigger steps to address climate change. part of this meeting is to type those loose ends. there are some optimistic noises being made. nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. but the mood generally here is positive. 50 ministers or so here, and while there are some big divisions on some key issues, they seem to be making some progress on at least some small ones. the islands prime minister said china had damaged regional peace. taiwan says it scrambled planes to one of chinese military airport that entered the zone into waves on friday. china's national day. it has

life here but people's livelihoods. i was talking to a fisherman in the harbour who cannot go out to sea because there is such a big exclusion zone around the area where the lover is pouring off the land, into the water and setting hard. it is actually creating new land. la palma is growing. it is such a destructive process and refreshment that he may not have a future here in that industry. he may leave and potentially never return. even before it has ended, the impact of this disruption is wide ranging and long lasting. what nobody knows is just how long it is going to go on. for now, the volcano keeps erupting, the lover keeps flowing, but it's unpredictable. where is it going to go and how much more damage will it do? danjohnson, bbc news, la palma. europe's first mission to mercury is completing its first fly by. the bepi colombo will fly by the planet at high speeds taking

icy is a different story elsewhere. a soggy walk on the beach in devon. heavy rain across many parts of the country through the day. here is where the bulk of the rain is. the worst is clear in northern ireland but spreading into southern scotland, pushing across a good part of england and wales, too. heaviest across southern counties, and icy is here where we see the strongest of the winds. around there, gusts of wind, up to 60 mph. finishing the day with some brightness in the west. a dry and bright day in northern scotland. wherever you are, icy will feel cool compare to what you are used to. 10—15 c. this evening and overnight, rain spreads northwards. the strongest of the winds in northern scotland. sunday, a fresh start. sunday itself will be a fresh start. sunday itself will be a day of sunshine and showers. showers most frequent in the west. potentially damaging winds in shetland. goodbye for now.
