the prime minister warns there will be difficulties as the country transitions towards what he calls a high—wage, high—skill economy. addressing the conservative party conference, mrjohnson said it was part of his plan to level up the country. this government that got brexit done thatis this government that got brexit done that is getting the covid vaccine role like dunn, is going to get social care done, and will deal with the underlying issues of our economy and society, the problem is that no government has had the confidence and the guts to tackle before. we'll be bring you the details of his speech and get reaction to what he had to say. also, millions of families will be a thousand pounds a year worse off from today, due to the end of the £20—a—week increase to universal credit. facebook founder mark zuckerberg hits back at criticism from

the country is about boosting potential as well as fairness. in his first conference speech since winning the 2019 general election, he says we need to move towards a high skill, high productivity and low tax economy, although he warned the transition would bring difficulties, and he defended the rise in national insurance to fund health and social care secretary recovers from the pandemic. 0ur political correspondent chris mason reports. dawn had barely contemplated cracking, and the prime minister was huffing, puffing and smiling around the streets of manchester. inside the streets of manchester. inside the conference centre, the queue to watch his speech snaked along. they had got up early too. six. watch his speech snaked along. they had got up early too.— had got up early too. six o'clock. su er had got up early too. six o'clock. super fans- _ had got up early too. six o'clock. super fans. we _ had got up early too. six o'clock. super fans. we all _ had got up early too. six o'clock. super fans. we all love - had got up early too. six o'clock. super fans. we all love boris. i had got up early too. six o'clock. super fans. we all love boris. at| super fans. we all love boris. at half ast

think what he was trying to achieve fundamentally is to keep together this wide coalition of voters that gave him a thumping majority in 2019, some traditional conservative voters, new voters from labour. and he was telling us that is very much a country in need of levelling up. he said it was a disgrace that some of our transport links were not good enough, we have an imbalanced society, and usually when politicians use that kind of language, they are attacking their opponents, but borisjohnson is actually attacking the record of his own party. that conservatives have beenin own party. that conservatives have been in powerfor 11 years, but he said in 2019 people were voting for change, so he is distancing himself from david cameron and theresa may, he said we are going to get social care done, something they hadn't achieved. i think that is a symbol of the fact that he is saying we are a different type of party, a party which former labour voters especially in the north of england can feel comfortable with. but he had to give them an idea that he would deliver on their priorities, so he said, and leaders often love

to use three words in a row, in conference speeches, so he said his priority was skills, skills, skills. but the problem today was while he had a longer term vision, his eyes on the horizon, nonetheless there are short—term difficulties. queueing at petrol pumps, waiting to get supermarket shelves filled, and some people away from the conference floor said the tone just didn't resonate with their constituents. thank you very much, iain. let's talk a little more about the potential short—term difficulties. our business editor simonjack is here. before the speech, there was criticism of the government from brexit supporting leaders like the boss of next. brexit supporting leaders like the boss of next-— brexit supporting leaders like the boss of next. lord wolfson, brexit supporting. _ boss of next. lord wolfson, brexit supporting. said — boss of next. lord wolfson, brexit supporting, said that _ boss of next. lord wolfson, brexit supporting, said that the - boss of next. lord wolfson, brexit i supporting, said that the government was on _ supporting, said that the government was on its _ supporting, said that the government was on its wrong track with immigration. he said it was a fact of life _ immigration. he said it was a fact of life that — immigration. he said it was a fact of life that businesses will leave this, _ of life that businesses will leave this, the —

almost six million people in the uk will see their income fall today, as the £20 per week increase to universal credit is withdrawn. the benefit uplift was brought in last year to support those on low incomes during the pandemic. borisjohnson has defended the cut, saying that �*high wage, high skilled' jobs are better than putting more money into benefits. but opposition parties and charities have warned that hundreds of thousands of people will be plunged into poverty. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. nicola flower used to work three jobs — as a seamstress, cleaner and shop assistant — until she was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. the side effects of different treatments have weakened her body. the cut to universal credit is consuming her mind. i might have to wear more clothes, not have the heating on so much. i'm really worried about the joints situation, because when it's colder you can feel it. i've noticed it the past couple of days, the difference. i'm going to need the heating on to keep myjoints warm.

cornwall has some of the poorest—insulated homes in england, so the recent rise in energy prices will hit hard. a largely low—wage seasonaljobs market adds to the difficulties tens of thousands of people will face coping with the £20—a—week cut. unfortunately i lost myjob because i was cycling and hit by a car, fractured my leg. so i was on crutches. harriet duffy used to work for a charity as a fundraiser. her accident changed everything. she's now living in temporary accommodation with her four—month—old son, noah. i have no access to laundry facilities and things like this so at the moment i am using launderettes and living basically off microwave meals and things like that. so obviously that comes at an expense. and losing that extra sort of bit of income will be devastating. completely aware that this hasn't always been part of universal credit, and it was only supposed to be

temporary during covid, but a lot of people have become reliant on it during this time. it's notjust the people on universal credit who are going to feel the impact of the cut. the money they get, they typically spend in their own local economy — in shops, in cafes, on their own high streets — all of these places are going to feel the impact of the £20 being cut. at the food bank in camborne, volunteers expect an increase in demand. historically, cuts to benefits levels have often led to more requests for help. i think the problem is, when you're on a very low income, if you get another £20 a week it's really helpful. but you're never in a situation where you don't need that extra money. the uplift costs about £6 billion a year, and the government say that, with the economy reopening, manyjobs are available, so it's right to remove the temporary uplift. we ultimately want to avoid the benefits and the welfare trap, and encourage people to be able to get back into work. and of course the uc system was designed to help

incentivise people into work. so the temporary uplift we saw during the pandemic was always going to come to an end. they've also made £500 million available to help the most vulnerable, and they want employers to pay higher wages — as some have — to ease the impact of the cut. michael buchanan, bbc news, cornwall. the boss of facebook has rejected claims from a whistleblower that the company puts profits before the interests of its users. mark zuckerberg said the company cared deeply about safety, well—being and mental health and stopping the spread of disinformation. a united states senate committee is looking at the impact of the social media giant's platforms. james clayton reports. eleanor and freya are both 1a and, like many teenagers, they're both on instagram. as a teenager you're looking at these people, like, all these models, and, you know, influencers — they are all very, very skinny and they have, like, a perfect body. and when you're looking at that and then kind

of comparing yourself to it, it's, like, very... i think it could be really damaging. when you're, like, feeling at your worst, and then you go on instagram and see things that are, like, targeted at you because you've looked at these kind of things before... you see them, like — yeah, models, influencers, celebrities, things like that and you're just like, "oh, well, i'll never be like that." eleanor and freya's concerns are in fact shared by one rather important company — facebook, which owns instagram. in fact, leaked internal research found that teens who struggle with mental health say that instagram makes it worse. the woman who leaked that internal report is called frances haugen — yesterday giving evidence in washington. the documents i have provided to congress prove that facebook has repeatedly misled the public about what its own research reveals about the safety of children. she also said that facebook�*s motives were driven by money, rather than the mental health of its users.

i saw facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety. facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favour of its own profits. here in silicon valley, facebook has pushed back, saying that some of the research presented is misleading, and despite the fact that instagram concluded that it could be damaging for children's mental health, it also says that it can have a positive impact. reacting to haugen's evidence was facebook�*s vice president of content policy, monica bickert. again, any time a single teen is having a bad experience, that's too much. one thing that shows that we are prioritising safety above profit is the very fact that we're asking these hard questions. facebook has said it's postponed a controversial project to create instagram for kids. but it's likely that the social network will face even more scrutiny and greater regulation in the us and further abroad. republicans and democrats don't agree on much, but taking action on facebook is one

thing that has broad support. james clayton, bbc news. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones is here. mark zuckerberg has finally hit back. what has he said? he has been under huge pressure. it is important to remember how much power he has got, he is virtually an sackable, he has so much control. but he rejects this idea that facebook is more focused on profits than the well—being of its users. he says, that is illogical. we make money from ads, and advertisers consistently tell us they don't want their adverts next to harmful or angry content, and why would we do that. he also defends the fact that he has done this research, and he said if we can be attacked for doing research into the impact of our product, why would we go on doing

that? his critics would say, you have done his research, you kept it secret, you should publish it. but finally he pushes back and says, it is up to regulators to do something more generally about social media. he is inviting the regulators in. he may not like what he gets, there is obviously continuing pressure to talk about a break—up of facebook, and that may not happen, but it seems politicians are united across the united states, and around the rest of the world, in wanting to do more to regulate facebook. thank you ve much, more to regulate facebook. thank you very much. rory- _ tesco says its sales and profits grew by more than expected in the six months to august — because its supply chains held up against issues facing retailers. its half year profits more than doubled to 1.14 billion pounds. the supermarket is forecasting full year profits of at least two—and—a—half billion pounds. an employment tribunal has found that the culture in an armed response unit within police scotland was horrific and "an

quickly. the public enquiry into the attack has heard. john atkinson, who was 28, asked repeatedly if he was going to die as he laid injured in the fourier where the bomb exploded. he was helped by members of the public and police officers, but was not assessed by any paramedics for nearly 50 minutes. 0ur north of england corresponded to the merits has been at the hearing. what did the hearing learn about what happened to mr atkinson? harrowing details today forjohn atkinson's family to listen to. we heard there is cctv footage which shows that within five seconds of the bombing as the smoke was clearing more on his hands and knees and a member of the public, ronald blake, rushed to his side. he phoned 999 on on their advice he used his belt as a tourniquet to stopjohn atkinson from bleeding. that is despite the fact that ronald blake

was injured himself and he did not know where his daughter was and he had no first aid training. we discovered there was nobody from the ambulance service who helped at any time thatjohn atkinson was in the fourier and it was about an hour before ronald blake left him, thinking that he was going to be ok and that he was somebody who could survive. john atkinson was carried out on an advertising hoarding and a metal barrier and the court has heard he was gripping onto it, try to stop himself falling off and he was alert and speaking to people, but it was something which is now the court will have to look at, whether he could have survived, and thatis whether he could have survived, and that is a key thing experts will discuss over the next few days. thank you. a court's heard that a group including at least four teenagers launched a "short and brutal" attack during which 15—year—old keon lincoln was killed outside his home in birmingham injanuary. the prosecution say the fatal shot was fired by a 11r—year old who's one

girls, they see maiden, they see the all—female crew and i can see them thinking, "i can do that." we are in the galley at the moment and this is our kitchen where we eat all our family meals. it is tiny. alysa is the project's first apprentice. at 20 years old she has left home in antigua tojoin maiden and see the world. this is a really good opportunity for young ladies because it is so hard, especially in the sailing industry for us. so i am really proud that i get to be a part of this. once again the all—female crew will hope to inspire young women to follow in their wake. i did have a really tough childhood as a girl and i saw tracy edwards on tv and thought, "oh, my god, i could do that." tracy edwards and her all—female crew first set out on maiden all those years ago it was to race around the world.

this time the objective is very different. it is still global, but the aim now is education. and tracy and her crew will continue to do what they have always done, to make a real difference to young women's lives. jon maguire, bbc news, hamble. t—rex is one of the world's best—known dinosaurs. now scientists have found one of the fearsome predator's ancestors and it's about the size of a chicken. the new species called pendraig milnerae, lived more than 200 millions years ago in the south wales and the bristol channel area. but the discovery nearly didn't happen, as laura foster reports. it's a killer roughly the size of a chicken, and it existed tens of millions of years before more well—known dinosaurs such as the t—rex and velociraptor came along. every story has a beginning, middle and the end, and this is the beginning of this story for the dinosaurs. so if you're thinking of predatory dinosaurs, any beastie that is going to chow

down on meat, that is something which we're all interested in. the ultimate predator, t—rex, has a family history, and this is going right the way back to the beginning of predatory dinosaurs. so it's a really important find. but the clues to its existence have been hidden in the depths of the natural history museum since the 19505, mistakenly filed alongside crocodile remains. there is not much of the animal. what we have is fantastically preserved. it is only now that the uk's earliest meat—eating dinosaur has been identified. it goes to show how vast the collections of the natural history museum are, and we have so many specimens and it is not always as straightforward. discoveries like this are rare, but they give us a very important insight into the very early stages of dinosaur evolution. laura foster, bbc news, at the natural history museum in london. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes.
