adults in wales will now have to prove that they're fully vaccinated against coronavirus or show a negative lateral flow test to get into nightclubs and large events. after more than 100 days of lockdown, the australian state of new south wales begins to open up, provided you have had the jab. too much talk and not enough action — prince charles tells the bbc that world leaders need to do more to tackle climate change. but they just talk and the problem is to get action on the ground, which is what i have been trying to do for the last a0 years! hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the metropolitan police has dropped its review of sexual assault allegations against prince andrew. his accuser, virginia giuffre, has brought a civil lawsuit in the united states, claiming that she was trafficked to london as a 17—year—old and forced to have sex with prince
10:02 am
andrew. he has consistently denied ms guiffre�*s allegations. graham satchell reports. this is the now famous photograph of prince andrew and virginia giuffre, taken more than 20 years ago, when she wasjust 17. ms giuffre claims she was trafficked to the uk and sexually assaulted by prince andrew — a claim the prince denies. this is miss giuffre last year with her legal team. she is bringing a civil case against the duke of york in america. the court documents claim prince andrew sexually abused her, knowing she was a child. the met police have conducted a series of reviews into the allegations against prince andrew, and started another one when details of the civil case became clear. speaking last year, the met commissioner, dame cressida dick, said no one is above the law. now, in a statement, the met say they have concluded their review and will be taking no further action. ms giuffre is alleged to have been trafficked to the uk by the american financier and sex offenderjeffrey
10:03 am
epstein. epstein took his own life in a new yorkjailhouse in 2019. epstein and prince andrew were friends for a number of years. there have been previous reviews into the allegations against prince andrew and jeffrey epstein. explaining their decision to take no further action in those cases, the met said, "any investigation into human trafficking would be largely focused on activities and relationships outside the uk", and that the metropolitan police service was not the appropriate authority to conduct inquiries in these circumstances. prince andrew has retired from royal duties. he is rarely seen in public. the outcome of this review means there is no prospect of a formal criminal investigation here in the uk. but the met say they will continue to liaise with other law enforcement agencies. graham satchell, bbc news. here is more from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. i think there is no great surprise
10:04 am
perhaps that the metropolitan police has decided it cannot take this any further, i don't think there was any particular expectation there was likely to be a criminal investigation or criminal prosecutions here in the united kingdom but within royal circles i think there will be continuing concern at what is taking place in the united states where the civil lawsuit of course is very much still taking place. we recall that prince andrew, shortly after stepping back from public life, said that he would fully cooperate with any legitimate investigation by the us authorities. to be candid, there has been very little public evidence of him doing that. his approach up to now appears to have been, let's just try to ignore it and hope it all goes away. this clearly is not going to go away in so far as the american action is concerned and there appears to have been a change in tactics now by prince andrew and his lawyers. american celebrity lawyers have been appointed and they are engaging with the civil lawsuit brought
10:05 am
by virginia giuffre. we must remember that prince andrew has consistently and absolutely denied any impropriety and his family must be hoping that he can now finally establish his innocence. but it is a distraction from other things — this is our top story this morning at a time when clarence house, for example, would be hoping we were paying much more attention to the interview with the prince of wales about cop26 and, broadly speaking, let's be honest, this is not a good position for a member of the british royal family to find themselves in. british ministers are coming under increasing pressure to intervene to support steel and other sectors hit by the rise in energy prices. more talks about how to tackle rising energy prices will take place today between junior ministers and industry leaders. the government has faced repeated calls from manufacturers and labour to intervene and the trade body, uk steel, said borisjohnson needed to take control
10:06 am
before it was too late. the crisis has also sparked a public row between the business department and the treasury. yesterday, an unnamed treasury official accused mr kwarteng of "making things up" when he said the chancellor rishi sunak was discussing a support package with him. we can talk to our political correspondent at westminster. is the government going to intervene and help some of these sectors? that is the big question _ help some of these sectors? that is the big question and _ help some of these sectors? that is the big question and at _ help some of these sectors? that is the big question and at the - help some of these sectors? that isj the big question and at the moment there is not a plan to intervene and help these sectors although that is under discussion and the reason is, as we have covered for the last couple of days, these big in energy intensive firms like steel and cement and ceramics, glass, all of them use huge amounts of energy and make up a big part of the production costs so with everyone around the country facing higher energy bills, these companies in particular are being really hard hit by the rising gas prices in the last few weeks. they have called for a number of things, such as subsidies from the
10:07 am
government, some kind of equivalent to the energy cap that households have but for industry so they would have but for industry so they would have a fixed amount they would be able to pay for their energy costs. uk steel also said they would like some kind of competitive guarantee some kind of competitive guarantee so they can be more competitive with european counterparts, some kind of a fixed price to pay for energy from government which are all solutions which industries have been in discussion with the uk government ministers about. there was a meeting between the business secretary at some of these firms on friday where some of these firms on friday where some of the solutions were discussed. this was the root of the row we saw emerging over the weekend, with the business secretary talking to firms on friday about solutions and then we had some briefings to the sunday papers saying that he had asked the treasury for billions to step in and support some of them which was on bigger business secretary denied but he did say that conversations were going on with the treasury and the chancellor to try to get through the situation although treasury sources then hit back and said that no
10:08 am
specific proposal had been put to the treasury for any kind of support package. what that tells us is that essentially there currently is no answer the government has, or a pot of cash they are prepared to put forward, but increasing pressure from the industry is to do something, both because some firms are already saying that they are having to halt production at certain times of day when energy prices are highest, worrying that we'll get more frequent and they will have to reduce even the amount of working days some of the factories can continue for, but also pressure from opposition politicians and a number of conservative mps as well particularly in areas that are reliant on energy intensive industries, places like leicestershire, stockbridge, redcar, all areas that rely on some of these big energy intensive companies. thank you very much. nhs england has stepped up its appeal for pregnant women to get vaccinated against covid—19. its figures suggest that expectant mothers who haven't had a single dose accounted for one in six coronavirus patients needing specialist treatment
10:09 am
in intensive care this summer. england's top midwife has stresssed that the vaccine is safe and effective during pregnancy. when you are pregnant, obviously you are looking after this baby growing inside of you so all of your blood and your energy is focused on growing that baby. it puts quite a strain on your lungs, on your heart system and that is what covid does as well. so what we're doing is layering on pressure on an already pressurised system inside a pregnant woman and that is why in critical care we are seeing almost 20% of people who are having extra support, so lung or heart support on critical care, being pregnant women who are unvaccinated. the evidence is really clear — if you are not vaccinated yet and you are pregnant, please take up that life saving offer of protection. travel between the uk and dozens of long haul destinations including mexico and south africa has opened up. 47 countries were removed
10:10 am
from the red list at four o'clock this morning, meaning people arriving from those locations no longer need to spend 11 nights of quarantine in a hotel. sydney's cafes, gyms and restaurants have welcomed fully vaccinated customers after nearly four months of lockdown. 70% of the adult population have received two doses of the covid vaccine. those who haven't will have to wait until the 1st of december to be released from stay—at—home orders. shaimaa khalil reports from sydney. cheering. a day so many in new south wales had been waiting for. especially those in sydney and the surrounding areas. after more than 100 days in lockdown, cafes, restaurants and bars have finally reopened. cheers. i took the day off work tomorrow so i could stay up late tonight! being able to sit down - and have a coffee, even though it's freezing outside, it's so good. - some covid—19 rules
10:11 am
are still in place. social distancing and masks are mandatory. the main feature is that businesses will be responsible for making sure customers provide proof of vaccination. it has been a difficult 100 days but the efforts that people have made right across the state to go out and get vaccinated has enabled this great day to occur. there are going to be challenges, we know that, i ask again, everybody across the state, to treat everybody with kindness and respect. this is the first step out of lockdown, with new south wales reaching a 70% vaccination rate and with many restrictions eased, life is looking quite different for those who have had their double jab. many have started their day in the gym, something they have not been able to do for more than three months now. while others have rushed for that long awaited haircut. thank you to all the
10:12 am
vaccinated people! new south wales is the first state in australia to shift from elimination or a zero covid cases strategy, to reopening while ramping up vaccination numbers. the rest of the country will be watching to see what living with the virus looks like and how it will work. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. and here is more of what the atmosphere has been like. some of the venues, whether it was bars or restaurants or even hairdressers, they were open at 12 o'clock sharp and people were lining up o'clock sharp and people were lining up outside to be the first to get in to these places on monday, or the start of monday. everybody was really excited, especially in sydney and the surrounding areas, after more than 100 days of lockdown, inching out of those stay at home orders was quite a day for many. i
10:13 am
must say, it was really nice this morning, taking a walk around my neighbourhood, getting a morning coffee and seeing a local cafe is with tables and chairs for a change, getting ready to welcome customers. people hitting the gym at six o'clock in the morning. ijust watched, i won't be doing that anytime soon but i did get a hair appointment which is very exciting! and all of this is great, but it's not the end of restrictions. for example, inside venues, people have to be wearing masks, there is a social distancing but the big feature of this reopening is going to be the proof of vaccination, the fact that business owners and businesses will have to ask for the proof of vaccination and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. how robust businesses will be, how willing people are to show their vaccination proof and there has been a lot of talk about passes and passports but right now it is the
10:14 am
new south wales health general vaccination certificate. also, if there is any fallout from those who have had their firstjabs and are waiting for their second, but this is the first place in australia that has given up on an elimination strategy and is seeing how living with the virus works. the headlines, metropolitan police say their technique no further action of that review into sexual abuse allegations surrounding prince andrew. there will be more talks today are bid warning that some factories in the uk could shut down. broadcaster and naturalist chris packham tells us in his first interview of his fears for the safety of his family after an arson attack outside his home in the new forest in hampshire. adults in wales will now have to prove that they're fully vaccinated against coronavirus or show a negative lateral flow test to get into
10:15 am
nightclubs and large events. people can face fines of £65 if they show a counterfeit pass. tomos morgan reports. the night—time industry across the uk is wishing for a bumper christmas this year after the second lockdown in 2020. however, in wales from today, those spending the early hours clubbing will need a vaccine pass before entering those establishments. it is certainly an inconvenience, but nothing that we can't go around. but it won't be even close as an inconvenience as it would be to be asked to close down. so if that's what we need to do, that's what we will do. the vaccine passports are a good idea because they ensure set rules of security for the community that goes on a night out. i know people who are too scared to get the vaccine. | there are some people who don't want to get the vaccine. - i was like one of the people that were super waiting to be called for the shot of the vaccine
10:16 am
so i completely agree with this. the pass will show that individuals have either been double vaccinated, or have had a recent lateral flow negative test. and people can be fined if they fake this information. with no app available in wales, the public must apply via the nhs website, supplying personal details and id. near the end of the process, you are asked to record a short video of a sequence of numbers so they can match your face to the photo id provided. 6293. autumn is also rugby season in wales. for the first time since spring last year, the capital will be absolutely heaving once again as the country takes on the might of the southern hemisphere. and passes will also be needed for these large events, venues and concerts. 0n the 30th of october, this place will be full once again as 72,000 people come
10:17 am
to cardiff's principality stadium to witness wales take on the all blacks. it may be unreasonable and unsafe to have thousands queueing outside waiting to be checked. so potentially only a portion will have to provide their vaccine pass. whereas in nightclubs, everybody may be asked to provide their pass as queueing is the norm there. some businesses in the welsh capital have expressed concern at the lack of clarity on this issue, questioning the different approaches taken by each uk nation government. we just don't get it. we just don't get the discrepancy between england and wales. and then you are left with the situation as in, for example, with colleague businesses in newport, plenty of their customers will probably be hopping over the bridge for a good night out in bristol, come next weekend. the first minister has said if things remain as they are, the economy and life in wales would remain as is over the winter period. however, if things do deteriorate, measures could be brought back into daily life to help relieve

the pressure on the nhs — once again highlighting that the pandemic is not over just yet. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. fbi agents have arrested a married couple in west virginia on suspicion of selling secrets to what the pair believed was a foreign power. data cards containing sensitive information about the designs for nuclear powered warships and submarines were handed to an undercover fbi agent in return for cryptocurrency payments. investigators said the data cards were hidden in packets of chewing gum. one was concealed in a peanut butter sandwich. mark lobel reports. this alleged below the radar attempt to reveal nuclear submarine secrets now sunk could have been a thriller worthy of the name, the spy who fed me, with a data card slipped into a peanut butter sandwich, and then a chewing gum package, and finally, a plaster wrapper, in the finale no
10:19 am
doubt dubbed the spy who bled me. neighbours of the detained couple who live here in this discreet neighbourhood of maryland are in disbelief. wow. it's pretty incredible. it's like out of a movie. it is a quiet neighbourhood. everybody is very law—abiding! i was a little surprised. it began last april when us navy nuclear engineerjonathan toebbe offered to sell restricted data concerning the design of nuclear powered warships to an unnamed foreign power. he wrote, "i apologise for this poor translation into your language. please forward this letter to your military intelligence agency. i believe this information will be of great value to your nation. this is not a hoax." the fbi says one of its foreign undercover agents was passed the letter, which had a return address in pennsylvania, and used encrypted e—mails
10:20 am
to smoke the sender out. after a sweetener of $10,000 in cryptocurrency, and a further diplomatic gesture to win trust, jonathan bit. the fbi says he agreed to drop off data injune at a secret location in west virginia with his wife, a humanities teacher, on the lookout. a data card was fed into a peanut butter sandwich, for which he received a further $20,000. then, in august, a further drop off in eastern virginia involved a chewing gum package and a $70,000 payoff. finally, the fbi pounced during a third drop off in west virginia on saturday. the secrets were up for sale on these nuclear powered warships weeks after america agreed to sell similar secrets to the australians in an attempt to counter chinese influence in the asia—pacific region. but no more. this spy, who has been dragged in from the cold, will now appear in court on tuesday.
10:21 am
mark lobel, bbc news. changes to the screening of blood donors are set to make it easier for more black people to donate in england. from the end of the year, donors will no longer be asked if they have recently had sex with a partner who may have been sexually active in an area with a high prevalence of hiv, which includes most of sub saharan africa. the department of health said the move would not compromise safety. it removes a rule which is confusing and unnecessary and discriminatory. and already it is really easy to pick up risk of hiv through other questions that are asked but this question prevents huge numbers of people from black communities, particularly black african communities, from being able to donate blood at a time that the government is trying to encourage more black people to donate blood so it is really, really positive and long overdue. lebanon's energy minister says a major fire at lebanon's energy minister says a majorfire at a

lebanon's energy minister says a major fire at a tank at an oil storage facility which supplies one of the country's main power plant has been contained. the facility in southern lebanon received an emergency consignment of fuel on sunday night to help it restart operations. it had been forced to shut down one day earlier during a nationwide power blackout. the broadcaster and chris packham has said he fears for his and his family's life after an arson attack outside his home in the new forest in hampshire. he had been talking to bbc news in his first interview about what happened. tiara bbc news in his first interview about what happened. two meant, at least two men. _ about what happened. two meant, at least two men, masked _ about what happened. two meant, at least two men, masked and - about what happened. two meant, at least two men, masked and covered, j least two men, masked and covered, parked a land roverfull of least two men, masked and covered, parked a land rover full of fuel at the gates of my garden and set fire to it which caused significant explosion, damaging the gates beyond repair. very sadly, damaging an oak tree alongside the gates as well. we have cctv at the property, we've
10:23 am
been working closely with police to make sure we complied with all their suggestions so we have footage of it but as i say, were masked and wearing sunglasses and not easy to identify. i have spoken to the police this morning and the investigations are ongoing, and they are pursuing this keenly and i thank them very much for their assistance. how has it affected you and your family? how has it affected you and your famil ? ~ , , ., , how has it affected you and your famil ?~ , , ., how has it affected you and your famil? , ., ., family? we see this as an escalation of threats against _ family? we see this as an escalation of threats against us _ family? we see this as an escalation of threats against us that _ family? we see this as an escalation of threats against us that have - family? we see this as an escalation of threats against us that have been| of threats against us that have been ongoing for at least two to three years. in previous incidents, they have been tying dead animals against the gate and only recently i found yet another animal thrown outside the house so this has been ongoing. we have received written death threats and all sorts of unpleasant things through the post. again, i work closely with police and they have given excellent guidance on how to deal with these things and we have been complying but as you can imagine, gathering evidence to find out who the perpetrators are is very difficult, and i have done their

10:25 am
moment, these people are angry about some of the things i campaign against and as a consequence of that, i'm afraid their resort is to act like this. i would much rather of course that we engaged in some sort of creative discourse rather than burning parts of my property down. , . , , than burning parts of my property down. , ., , , ., than burning parts of my property down. ,., , ., , than burning parts of my property down. , .,, , ., , ,., than burning parts of my property down. , ., , .,, down. this abuse, to use your words, is chronic and — down. this abuse, to use your words, is chronic and ongoing _ down. this abuse, to use your words, is chronic and ongoing because - down. this abuse, to use your words, is chronic and ongoing because in - is chronic and ongoing because in 2019 you told me in an interview about death threats you had received you had been told your death would be orchestrated by someone organising a car crash. 0rganising for you to be poisoned. do you believe that you or a member of your family could be injured, even killed ljy family could be injured, even killed by these people? i family could be in'ured, even killed by these people?_ family could be in'ured, even killed by these peeprea_ by these people? i don't know, victoria, and _ by these people? i don't know, victoria, and that _ by these people? i don't know, victoria, and that is _ by these people? i don't know, victoria, and that is the - by these people? i don't know, i victoria, and that is the problem. what we have seen is that initially those threats came in the post, as those threats came in the post, as those i related to you, they appeared to be distant on that account. but the dead animals is, i mean, i hope none of the animals

last week, manchester united and england's marcus rashford was awarded an honorary doctorate for his work in tackling child poverty and in an exclusive interview after the ceremony, he opened up to the bbc about racism, missing a penalty in the final of this summer's euros, and a massive outpouring of public support he felt. and a massive outpouring of public suoport he felt-— support he felt. rashford has missed! i _ support he felt. rashford has missed! i want _ support he felt. rashford has missed! i want to _ support he felt. rashford has missed! i want to take - support he felt. rashford has missed! i want to take you i support he felt. rashford has i missed! i want to take you back support he felt. rashford has - missed! i want to take you back a bit, to missed! i want to take you back a bit. to the — missed! i want to take you back a bit, to the summer _ missed! i want to take you back a bit, to the summer this _ missed! i want to take you back a bit, to the summer this is - missed! i want to take you back a bit, to the summer this is the - missed! i want to take you back a | bit, to the summer this is the first time you been speaking publicly since the euros since the penalty miss, and since the horrendous barrage of racism that you and other players were subjected to in the aftermath of what happened. there was this outpouring of love and support for you, which we can see very clearly, when your mural was decorated with lettuce, which i know

need to start winning these trophies. this is bbc news, the headlines... london's metropolitan police say they're taking no action against prince andrew after a review into sexual abuse allegations made by virginai guiffre. the soaring cost of energy — there'll more talks today amid warnings that some factories could soon shut down. broadcaster and naturalist, chris packham, has said he fears for his life after an arson attack outside his home in the new forest in hampshire. new figures show one in six this is an escalation, and we got to ask where will it stop? are they going to burn down my house with someone in it? are they going to vandalise my car and make it dangerous to drive? of the most critically ill coronavirus patients in england over the summer were unvaccinated pregnant women.
10:33 am
adults in wales will now have to prove that they're fully vaccinated against coronavirus or show a negative lateral flow test to get into nightclubs and large events. after more than a hundred days of lockdown, the australian state of new south wales begins to open up providing you've had the jab. and too much talk and not enough action — prince charles tells the bbc that world leaders need to do more to tackle climate change. yeah, but they just talk, yeah, but theyjust talk, but yeah, but they just talk, but the problem is to get action on the ground, which is what i have been trying to do for the last a0 years. prince charles has told the bbc that he can see why campaigners from groups like extinction rebellion take to the streets to demand action on climate change.
10:34 am
but he suggested actions such as blocking roads didn't help their cause. the prince of wales urged people to follow his example of not eating meat and fish two days a week and dairy on another day to reduce their environmental impact. he was speaking to our climate editor, justin rowlatt, in the garden of his home on the balmoral estate. great to see you. you made it. this was a rather empty field that the farm didn't need any more. the great thing was i managed to plant it the same year my grandson was born, the eldest, george. so i thought i'd call it prince george's wood. all of our grandchildren, if we're lucky enough to have them, will inherit the earth that we bequeath them, won't they? how worried are you about the stated that inheritance? deeply worried. i've always felt we're somehow trained to believe that nature is a separate thing from us and we can just exploit and control and suppress everything about her without suffering the consequences. this is what is so interesting, coming back 50 years later, and talking here in this beautiful garden of yours, that the narrative has changed. lots of the things that
10:35 am
you said are now mainstream. it's taken far too long. world leaders are gathering in glasgow to talk about the kind of issues that you were... they just talk. the problem is to get action on the ground, which is what i've been trying to do for the last a0 years. what about the people who protest? what about extinction rebellion? do you understand why they go out? of course i do, yes. but it isn't helpful, i don't think — to do it in a way that alienates people. i totally understand the frustration. the difficulty is, how do you direct that frustration in a way that is more constructive, rather than destructive. the point is that people should really notice how despairing so many young are. so let me ask you this... is our government doing enough to make these things happen? i couldn't possibly comment. you've got a pretty hefty carbon footprint. yes. put it like this. it must take a lot of gas to heat a palace. yes, yes. but i have tried for a very long time to make sure the heating is
10:36 am
done in a way that is as sustainable as possible. i've put in biomass boiler systems, solar panels, i've got electric cars. it's been so difficult. one thing not everybody knows about you is you are bit of a clarkson, is it fair to say? jeremy clarkson. not really, no. a bit of a kind of petrol head. you've always enjoyed cars. well, yes, yes. but that was before we knew what the problems were particularly. my old aston martin, which i've had for 51 years, that runs on, can you believe it? surplus english white wine and whey from the cheese process. you've converted your fuel. what would you say to viewers of bbc breakfast? people watching this in terms of diet? should they be eating less meat? the business of what we eat is important. for years, i haven't eaten meat and fish on two days a week and i don't eat dairy products on one day a week.
10:37 am
that's one way to do it. if you did that, if we all did that, you would reduce a lot of the pressure on the environment as everything else. there will be people watching this, you know this is true, who will be sceptical. of course. and they'll say, "listen, the uk produces 1% of world emissions. other countries aren't doing their bit. why on earth should we make this huge effort and hobble our economies for something which ultimately will be useless?" what would you say to them about why this is urgent and what is at stake for them and also for the world. it will be a disaster. it will be catastrophic. it is already beginning to be catastrophic because nothing in nature can survive the stress that is created by these extremes of weather. having discussed these issues, what would your ideal for a future britain look like? i think we should be leading the way, particularly in terms of how we could, as an island... i've always felt we could
10:38 am
have an enormous impact as somewhere which was renowned for its environmental quality — the way we farm and the kind of products we produce and how they are related to telling a story about the place, the people. we wanted to help plant avenues of trees which could commemorate all the people who've died during this pandemic. and it's an autumn garden, isn't it? it's really for autumn colour, and a bit of spring. can we go and have a look at the chokeberries? the extraordinary thing is none of the birds eat them. there are different varieties of them. i wouldn't. .. there are better ones. they're a bit tart. slightly astringent. they're supposed to be a health food, aren't they? yeah, yeah. you spent about an hour with him. what did you take from what he had
10:39 am
to say? i think ashoka berry is a variety of azalea, they look like cherries and most of them are sweet but the ones that i have tried other the ones you're not supposed to eat as you saw there, he was like, no, not that one. what did i take from it, apart from his cheese and wine fuelled aston martin? is that true? yes. surface white wine fuelled his white wine — feels his car? who yes. surface white wine fuelled his white wine - feels his car? who has surlus white wine - feels his car? who has surplus white _ white wine - feels his car? who has surplus white wine! _ white wine - feels his car? who has surplus white wine! i _ white wine - feels his car? who has surplus white wine! i think- white wine - feels his car? who has surplus white wine! i think he - white wine - feels his car? who has surplus white wine! i think he uses| surplus white wine! i think he uses an anaerobic digestive device that makes it into fuel. and he burns it in his car. apparently, aston martin engineers were surprised to discover it actually runs better than the petrol versions of those old cars.
10:40 am
he has been campaigning on environmental issues for years which is why he wanted to meet and talk about it. and what really struck me was how kinda frustrated frustrating years, so, you know, you heard there, i say to him, people are talking about all the issues you are talking about all the issues you are talking about. and he said it's too late. and i said what about this great meeting in glasgow? and he says, it's alljust talk. you know, and that's when i thought he sounds like greta thundberg. i said you understand why she's so angry? and he said he does. he has been told about this for ages, used to be horribly teased for talking to and stuff, and i was all part of this connection that he feels of nature, and so just like greta thundberg or the people from extinction rebellion or even intellect britain, he understands why people are frustrated more hasn't been done. —— intellect britain. — insulated
10:41 am
britain. he says, i get when you are angry on this. i got the sense that he partly wanted to do the interview, and as you say, we got a long time with him. he wants to shake us all and say, don't you get it! don't you get what is happening! . that is what eggs are say they are doing. that is what they feel they're doing. flash extinction rebellion. he says he understands why they feel the need to take that kind of action, although i gotta say again, he is not saying he approves of it. is again, he is not saying he approves of it. . . again, he is not saying he approves of it. , ., ., again, he is not saying he approves ofit. , ., ., �*, again, he is not saying he approves of it. , ., ., �*, ., ., ,, of it. is he a doer? it's ok to talk for decades _ of it. is he a doer? it's ok to talk for decades about _ of it. is he a doer? it's ok to talk for decades about these - of it. is he a doer? it's ok to talk for decades about these issues, | of it. is he a doer? it's ok to talk i for decades about these issues, he is giving up dairy two days a week, i mean... he is giving up dairy two days a week, i mean... . . is giving up dairy two days a week, i mean... , , ., , i mean... he is giving up dairy 1-da er i mean... he is giving up dairy 1-

i don't want to sound like i'm - i don't want to sound like i'm dash—macro his —— his press officer. he has been convening these meetings for years between politicians and to be honest, on iplayer, we've got the full version. it's about 26 minutes long a lot of what we cut out was him talk about the hosting — the meetings he has hosted. he has done a lot to bring things together harnessing. it's all about getting business leaders to meet the politicians and scientists and understand the urgency of the climate crisis. so, i think it is better so he really is a dua. his argument is governments can bring billions to the fight, bringing — businesses can bring billions. when i asked him, businesses can bring billions. when iasked him, he businesses can bring billions. when i asked him, he said businesses can bring billions. when iasked him, he said me businesses can bring billions. when i asked him, he said me to find ways to unlock the money that financial institutions have, that they could be investing in renewable technologies. cheese and wind power cries — back cast for everybody.
10:43 am
there is a short version of the interview that has gone up on the wenn site. it is a 10th most watched at the moment. it is going to zoom up at the moment. it is going to zoom up the charts, as we say. �*the big interviews: prince charles and his battle for our planet' will be shown on at half—past two on saturday, and half—past five on sunday. it's also available on the bbc iplayer. king john and will never give up his nuclear weapons, king john and will never give up his nuclearweapons, — king john and will never give up his nuclear weapons, — the north korean defector says he was involved in targeted attacks and assassinations and even built and illegal drugs are bad for the leader. 0ur correspondent explained more. there is no way that the bbc can independently verify the story.
10:44 am
there is no wheat way we can confirm or deny whether colonel has to say. having said that, he is also part of north korea's story. i think when it comes to being a journalist who covers north korea, i tend to look at all the voices that i can, that come from north korea. he can tell isjust a come from north korea. he can tell is just a little bit about being at the top of the regime. however, he does point to the early years of kim jong—un and what he describes as a young warrior leader and also it points to the kind of thing is that the regime has to do to survive. results from iraq's parliamentary elections are expected later today, after sunday's vote saw a record low for voter turnout, just a1% accroding to iraq's electoral commission. the vote is being held in response to mass protests in 2019 over unemployment and failing infrastructure in the country — with many areas lacking basic services like electricity. bbc arabic�*s murad shishani has more from irbil.
10:45 am
the main headline is this very low turnout, and it is very telling, it is the lowest since the american invasion of iraq in 2003 and this this election, this is the lowest recorded ever in the elections, and this shows that the boycotting campaigns and the sort of frustrations of people to go into this election, they have been heard loudly, i guess, this election, they have been heard loudly, iguess, because this election, they have been heard loudly, i guess, because even though there is a technicality here, these numbers have been counted through those people who are carrying the cards for elections, notjust those people who are carrying the cards for elections, not just those who are legible to vote, therefore, that means this is the turnout is very low. we were talking to the independent high commissioner of the elections today and they told us they are expecting the result late afternoon today in the local time, so they are taking their own time in accounting — in the counting. they have set up a high—technology system
10:46 am
to count this number, even though due to the political polarisation and tension between the different political parties who actually started to announce their winds in different places, there is still that we need to wait a few hours until the results come out. the metabolic say they are taking no further action after a review into sexual abuse allegations surrounding prince andrew. —— metropolitan police. there are more talks in the uk amid talks that factories could soon shut down. chris packham tells the bbc of his fears for his family per mac safety following an arson attack outside his home in hampshire. this year's bfi london film festival continues this week. the line—up includes more than 150 movies and a competition programme that brings together the most innovative new films from around the world.

10:51 am
in england who haven't had a single dose accounted for one in six of covid patients needing specialist treatment in intensive care this summer. they were the most critically ill patients. i've been talking to a doctor who is the uk director for professional midwifery at the union of the royal college of midwives. your system, hold bodily system is under stress as a result of pregnancy, also you're imminent use — your immune response is stressed by pregnancy. so we know that men and when they are pregnant, critically in the final trimester, are more susceptible to these kind of viruses and illnesses. we've seen it in the past with line float — swine flu, with bird flu which particularly affected pregnant women. we suspected this would be the case with covid—19 and all of these data now are confirming that. and so what we are seeing is those women who are becoming unwell are by far and away unvaccinated. so, what
10:52 am
we are seeing is the vaccine is protecting during pregnancy from that really severe illness, and it isn'tjust illness that really severe illness, and it isn't just illness for the that really severe illness, and it isn'tjust illness for the women, because if you become unwell with covid—19, and you are admitted to hospital, you are much more likely, twice met three times as likely to have preterm birth, with all of the impact that has on a baby. unfortunately, we are also seeing a higher stillbirth rate of women with covid—19, and a much higher cesarean section rate. so, the best protection is to get faxing. i did a re ort protection is to get faxing. i did a report earlier _ protection is to get faxing. i did a report earlier this _ protection is to get faxing. i did a report earlier this year _ protection is to get faxing. i did a report earlier this year and i protection is to get faxing. i did a report earlier this year and spoke j report earlier this year and spoke to women from diverse communities in south london who were trying to get pregnant and they suggested that because we didn't know enough about this vaccine they weren't going to haveit this vaccine they weren't going to have it because i didn't want it to affect one, their fertility, have it because i didn't want it to affect one, theirfertility, or have it because i didn't want it to affect one, their fertility, or if they were pregnant, they thought somehow the vaccine were transferred to the foetus and have harmful effects. what is the evidence about
10:53 am
those out — mac both those areas? we those out - mac both those areas? we now those out — mac both those areas? - now have real data from women who have taken the vaccine so more than hundred thousand women in england and scotland haven't had the vaccines during pregnancy so we are beginning to build up lots of information now that the outcomes for those babies and those women. and what we are not seeing is any problems, any red flags arising. arising from having the vaccine in pregnancy, so we'll see more abnormalities, we are not seeing higher rates of preterm birth or stillbirth with a vaccine. also, there is no logical, biological plausible route how the vaccine would impact on fertility at all, so i think that is one that should definitely have been put to bed by the evidence now. that was very much built up by myths and misinformation, actually. but watch pregnant women can be reassured now is that there are many thousands of
10:54 am
women who have had the vaccine now during pregnancy and we are not saying any concerning data coming from that. severe flooding has forced the displacement of nearly 2 million people in china's northern shanxi province. torrential rain last week led to houses collapsing and triggered landslides across the province. the flooding comes less than three months after extreme rains in henan province left more than 300 dead. nasa's perseverance rover — and its ingenuity helicopter — have offered new insights into the surface of mars. but there's another mission underway — a little closer to home — that may prove crucial to the aim of getting humans to the red planet and beyond. tanya dendrinos has the story. 0n the red planet, a captivating dream that has long mesmerised us but this isn't mars, this is the israeli desert. brute

10:57 am
be a fair bit of sunshine around, look it up out here and there and it is the same, too, for the channel islands. top temperatures of about 16 degrees there. temperatures generally ranging from nine in the north to 17 as they pushed down towards cardiff. as we head on through the evening and overnight, once again our band of cloud and rain continues to sink southwards and eastwards, taking the rain across north—east england into east anglia, some clear skies across southern england means in some sheltered and rural areas, we could see temperatures dip to four or five degrees and some patchy mist and fog as well. tomorrow we start with some patchy mist and fog but the south that will see the sunshine. some patchy, like rain and drizzle petering out across scotland but we will see some spots across northern ireland into north wales, the midlands and also east anglia. top temperatures against 17 or 18 degrees. until wednesday, still a fair bit of cloud around, sat mist and some fog to lift from the far
10:58 am
south, windy across the north and west with again the odd shower but for many of us, wednesday will be a dry day with temperatures between 12 and 18 degrees. as we head into thursday, we've got a weather front coming in across the north of scotland, it is a cold front, it that introduce them rain, some brisk winds following on behind, edgy direction from the north and ahead of that the cloud will build so as we come further south, that is where we come further south, that is where we will see the lion's share of the sunshine. but it does mean that as we headed to part of the week, it is going to turn cooler because a weather front were clear in the south the course of friday that all of us will have lower temperatures. but on saturday, mostly dry for most of us.

chemicals, steel, all these huge amounts of energy so as gas prices have been rising, they have been hit with monumental bills and they don't have a kind of energy price cap in the way that households do, limiting the way that households do, limiting the amount they can pay for their energy. so that's one of the things some industries have been calling for. others have been calling for some kind of subsidies from the uk government to temporarily help them through this period of rising gas prices. 0thers through this period of rising gas prices. others have been calling for some kind of fixed rate of energy, as well, to make them more competitive with some of their european counterparts because their fear is that if they become less competitive with similar companies overin competitive with similar companies over in europe, then it becomes much harder to try and sell some of their products and some of them have been warning already that they've already been having to hold production at certain times of day because energy prices spiking throughout the day, and the theory is that if those periods where prices rise do get more frequent, they may start having to hold production even more and that's where they do worry it might have wider implications for some of these sectors, the workers themselves, and of course than the
11:04 am
wider regions and economies were some of the sectors are very prevalent around the uk. ministers from the uk government are in discussion again with some of the industries today after business secretary kwasi kwarteng met with some of them on friday, as well. they have been calling for support now for a number of days, really. currently as it stands, the government hasn't really provided them with a set answer. the latest we had over the weekend is that the business secretary said he was in discussion with these firms, trying to listen to their solutions, and did say he was working closely with the chancellor and the treasury to try and get through the situation. at the treasury, as you say, did then push back and said they hadn't received any kind of specific proposals yet from the business department to try and provide a solution. so i think what this really tells us is firstly, the government itself is in disagreement about who exactly is responsible for engaging with some of these industries, but also that the government doesn't yet have an answer for government doesn't yet have an answerfor them, government doesn't yet have an answerforthem, doesn't government doesn't yet have an answer for them, doesn't have a pot of cash that the industries have
11:05 am
been calling for, and obviously this all comes amid the backdrop of pressure with the building on the government to do something, both from the industries themselves, warning of production halting, but also increasingly from notjust opposition mps but also some conservative mps, as well, particularly in areas like north west leicestershire, like stocks bridge, like redcar, that are very reliant on some of these energy intensive industries that make up a significant chunk of their workforce.— the metropolitan police has dropped its review of sexual assault allegations against prince andrew. his accuser, virginia giuffre, has brought a civil lawsuit in the united states claiming that she was trafficked to london as a 17—year—old and forced to have sex with prince andrew. he has consistently denied ms giuffre's allegations. graham satchell reports. this is the now famous photograph of prince andrew and virginia giuffre, taken more than 20 years ago, when she wasjust17. ms giuffre claims she was trafficked
11:06 am
to the uk and sexually assaulted by prince andrew — a claim the prince denies. this is miss giuffre last year with her legal team. she is bringing a civil case against the duke of york in america. the court documents claim prince andrew sexually abused her, knowing she was a child. the met police have conducted a series of reviews into the allegations against prince andrew, and started another one when details of the civil case became clear. speaking last year, the met commissioner, dame cressida dick, said no one is above the law. now, in a statement, the met say they have concluded their review and will be taking no further action. ms giuffre is alleged to have been trafficked to the uk by the american financier and sex offender jeffrey epstein. epstein took his own life in a new yorkjailhouse in 2019. epstein and prince andrew were friends for a number of years. there have been previous reviews into the allegations against prince andrew and jeffrey epstein. explaining their decision to take no further action in those cases,
11:07 am
the met said, "any investigation into human trafficking would be largely focused on activities and relationships outside the uk", and that the metropolitan police service was not the appropriate authority to conduct inquiries in these circumstances. prince andrew has retired from royal duties. he is rarely seen in public. the outcome of this review means there is no prospect of a formal criminal investigation here in the uk. but the met say they will continue to liaise with other law enforcement agencies. graham satchell, bbc news. here's more from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. i think there is no great surprise perhaps that the metropolitan police has decided it cannot take this any further, i don't think there was any particular expectation there was likely to be a criminal investigation or criminal prosecutions here in the united kingdom, but within royal circles i think there will be continuing concern at what is taking place in the united states
11:08 am
where the civil lawsuit of course is very much still taking place. we recall that prince andrew, shortly after stepping back from public life, said that he would fully cooperate with any legitimate investigation by the us authorities. to be candid, there has been very little public evidence of him doing that. his approach up to now appears to have been, let's just try to ignore it and hope it all goes away. this clearly is not going to go away, in so far as the american action is concerned, and there appears to have been a change in tactics now by prince andrew and his lawyers. american celebrity lawyers have been appointed and they are engaging with the civil lawsuit brought by virginia giuffre. we must remember that prince andrew has consistently and absolutely denied any impropriety and his family must be hoping that he can now finally establish his innocence. but it is a distraction
11:09 am
from other things — this is our top story this morning at a time when clarence house, for example, would be hoping we were paying much more attention to the interview with the prince of wales about cop26 and, broadly speaking, let's be honest, this is not a good position for a member of the british royal family to find themselves in. nhs england has stepped up its appeal for pregnant women to get vaccinated against covid—19. its figures suggest that expectant mothers who haven't had a single dose accounted for one in six coronavirus patients needing specialist treatment in intensive care this summer. england's top midwife has stresssed that the vaccine is safe and effective during pregnancy. when you are pregnant, obviously you are looking after this baby growing inside of you so all of your blood and your energy is focused on growing that baby. it puts quite a strain on your lungs, on your heart system and that is what covid does as well. so what we're doing is layering on pressure on an already
11:10 am
pressurised system inside a pregnant woman, and that is why in critical care we are seeing almost 20% of people who are having extra support, so lung or heart support on critical care, being pregnant women who are unvaccinated. the evidence is really clear — if you are not vaccinated yet and you are pregnant, please take up that life saving offer of protection. adults in wales will now have to prove that they're fully vaccinated against coronavirus or show a negative lateral flow test to get into nightclubs and large events. people can face fines of £65 if they show a counterfeit pass. tomos morgan reports. the night—time industry across the uk is wishing for a bumper christmas this year following 2020's second lockdwon. however, in wales from today, those spending the early hours clubbing will need a vaccine pass before entering those establishments. it is certainly an inconvenience,
11:11 am
but nothing that we can't go around. but it won't be even close as an inconvenience as it is to be asked to close down. so if that's what we must do, that's what we will do. the vaccine passports are a good idea because they ensure set rules of security for the community that goes on a night out. it's not fair for people who haven't had the vaccine or are too - scared to get the vaccine. there are some people out there. who don't want to get the vaccine. i was like one of the people that were super waiting to be called to have the shot of the vaccine so i completely agree with this. the pass will show that individuals have either been double vaccinated, or have had a recent lateral flow negative test. and people can be fined if they fake this information. with no app available in wales, the public must apply via the nhs website, supplying personal details and id. near the end of the process, you are asked to record a short
11:12 am
video of a sequence of numbers so they can match your face to the photo id provided. 6293. autumn is also rugby season in wales. for the first time since spring last year, the capital will be absolutely heaving once again as the country takes on the might of the southern hemisphere. and passes will also be needed for these large events, venues and concerts. 0n the 30th of october, this place will be full once again as 72,000 people come to cardiff's principality stadium to witness wales take on the all blacks. it may be unreasonable and unsafe to have thousands queueing outside waiting to be checked. so potentially only a portion will have to provide their vaccine pass. whereas in nightclubs, everybody may be asked to provide their pass as queueing is the norm there. some businesses in the welsh capital have expressed concern at the lack of clarity on this issue, questioning the different approaches
11:13 am
taken by each uk nation government. we just don't get it. we just don't get the discrepancy between england and wales. and then you are left with the situation as in, for example, with colleague businesses in newport, plenty of their customers will probably be hopping over the bridge for a good night out in bristol, come next weekend. the first minister has said if things remain as they are, the economy and life in wales would remain as is over the winter period. however, if things do deteriorate, measures could be brought back into daily life to help relieve the pressure on the nhs — once again highlighting that the pandemic is not over just yet. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. guto brychan is chief executive of the cardiff music venue clwb ifor bach. hejoins me now. welcome, thanks for joining welcome, thanks forjoining us. what do you think about having people

having to show the pass or a negative test to get in? mr; having to show the pass or a negative test to get in? my main concern is _ negative test to get in? my main concern is the _ negative test to get in? my main concern is the amount _ negative test to get in? my main concern is the amount of- negative test to get in? my main concern is the amount of time i negative test to get in? my mainl concern is the amount of time the decision has taken to be put into place, this was announced three weeks ago in the last review, it is only passed in the senedd last tuesday, so essentially we have six days from when that decision was made in the senedd to when this is going live. it's not uniform across hospitality, so there will be places which are seated which would be allowed to operate without the covid pass, whereas others will have to have the covid pass in place. so the concern is it's already quite a confusing message, night clubs and similar venues with no clear definition. so customers are going to find it difficult to work at what's required of them. and the fact they have to do it at all, you're talking about the peak of the student season here, we have a
11:15 am
massive influx of students from outside wales, from areas without covid passes in place, so getting the message out that this is what they need to do is going to be quite problematic and i can see a lot of issues in a lot of venues come the weekend, trying to administer this covid pass. weekend, trying to administer this covid ass. ., ., weekend, trying to administer this covid pass-— covid pass. how do you feel about the logistics _ covid pass. how do you feel about the logistics of _ covid pass. how do you feel about the logistics of doing _ covid pass. how do you feel about the logistics of doing it? - covid pass. how do you feel about the logistics of doing it? i - covid pass. how do you feel about the logistics of doing it? i think. the logistics of doing it? i think the logistics of doing it? i think the ass the logistics of doing it? i think the pass itself _ the logistics of doing it? i think the pass itself is _ the logistics of doing it? i think the pass itself is fairly - the pass itself is fairly straightforward. my main concern is making sure that the customers are aware of what's required of them. my issueis aware of what's required of them. my issue is that because of this timeframe, it looks like it will be venues who are principally responsible in terms of getting the messaging out and dealing with customers on a late evening basis to try and inform them what is required of them, and that's going to cause a lot more it is for us on the door at a time when there is already a lot of additional complaints that we

11:18 am
requirements on the door and had they included a grace period to allow us to get this process as smoothly as possible, i think that would have been welcome across... sorry to interrupt you, what difference would a grace period have made? i know you're saying it's about communicating to people going to clubs, but obviously, it's in the news that it's getting a lot of publicity, it's not something that is happening very quietly that people might not know about. what people might not know about. what ou're people might not know about. what you're talking _ people might not know about. what you're talking about _ people might not know about. what you're talking about a _ people might not know about. b'fi�*ué�*ii you're talking about a set of people might not know about. “garnet you're talking about a set of the population who aren't necessarily getting news from mainstream news organisations, who might not be following the government on their social media channels, who might not have moved into wales from outside where the covid pass isn't a requirement —— who might have moved into wales. so i think there are a large percentage of our customers who when they arrive on the door on saturday night will not be aware that this is going on. in scotland, for instance, before it came in, only 16% of people had downloaded the app. and most places lost around
11:19 am
£3000 on average per week. that's where the difference, i think in terms of having the grace period would allow a bit more time for people to become more aware of it and have less of a financial impact on an already beleaguered industry. thank you very much forjoining us. the broadcaster and naturalist chris packham has said he fears for his life after an arson attack outside his home in the new forest in hampshire. in his first interview since the incident, he's been telling bbc news exclusively what happneed in the early hours of friday morning. two then, at least two men, masked and covered, packed a landroverfor the fuel against my garden gate and set fire to it, which obviously caused a significant explosion, damaging the gate beyond repair, very sadly, actually, damaging an oak tree alongside the gate as well.
11:20 am
we have cctv at the property and with them working closely with the police to come to make sure we comply with all their suggestions. we see this as an escalation of threats against us that have been ongoing a2—3 years. in previous instances they've tied to dead animals against the gates. —— ongoing for two to three years. this has been ongoing, we have received death threats and have received all search of unpleasant things through the pests. i've worked very closely with the police and that given excellent guidance on how to deal with these things and we've been complying, but as you can imagine, getting evidence to find out who the perpetrators are is very difficult and they have done their very best, but up until this point we haven't been able to pursue any individuals, although we have quite a good idea about who some of them might be. what we've got to ask is, where does it stop? is it next time, they're
11:21 am
going to burn the house down? there could be someone in that house. are they going to vandalise my card make it dangerous to drive? they've already damaged my business interests considerably, and again, this is stoked up by the engagement of certain countryside organisations. i've taken considerable financial hit on account of the fact that they have harassed people who would employ me. i have absorbed that, i'm carrying on, i have found alternatives but there is no alternative your house is burned down or your stepdaughter is burned down or your stepdaughter is beaten up or your partner, my partner, is hurt, as well. i don't know, where does it stop? i have to continue. and in fact, i have an increasingly urgent need to continue, given the state of the world, and also, i am very conscious of the fact that one of the reasons the natural world is in such a poor condition is because environmentalists and conservationists like myself and indeed even prince charles, as he submitted this morning on your
11:22 am
report, you know, we feel a certain underlying sense of shame that we haven't done enough quickly enough and both he and i are older gentleman, shall we say, and as a consequence of that we recognise our time is running out, and therefore we have to act with ever more energy and determination to make a difference whilst we have that opportunity to do so. so of course, i cannot back down and i will not back down. i may change my mind if i think one of the things i'm campaigning for turns out to be wrong, we all should reserve that right, because i am asking other people to change their minds. but at this point in time, the things i am campaigning against, fox hunting, illegal and unsustainable shooting, so on and so forth, i think it would be beneficial to the natural world if we were to phase them out or stop them straightaway in some instances, and so that is... that emission i have to accept. —— that is a dish and i've chosen to accept.

11:24 am
you could see very clearly, when your mural was decorated with letters and notes, which i know have been kept. do you feel the support of the people that admire you, not just football fans but people that admire may be what you're doing off the pitch, too? it’s admire may be what you're doing off the pitch. too?— the pitch, too? it's nice enough, that support _ the pitch, too? it's nice enough, that support from _ the pitch, too? it's nice enough, that support from different i the pitch, too? it's nice enough, | that support from different types the pitch, too? it's nice enough, i that support from different types of people. it's something that i'd probably not really experienced before. it's definitely a great feeling for me to have that support from people that, some of them don't even watch football. just for us as a team, as well, it was nice to see people behind us. you never want to get that far in a tournament and then get to the final and lose. to lose on penalties, it's such fine margins and i've been lucky enough to take a lot of penalty kicks and you know, i know some of them go in, some of them don't. but there's never a time that is acceptable. 0r never a time that is acceptable. or that we should accept racism and just get on with our lives. but

probably the biggest stage that racism has been in front of us as young players, it was nice to see so many people supporting us without us even saying anything. hour many people supporting us without us even saying anything.— even saying anything. how did you co -e with even saying anything. how did you cope with that. — even saying anything. how did you cope with that, mentally, - even saying anything. how did you cope with that, mentally, at i even saying anything. how did you cope with that, mentally, at the i cope with that, mentally, at the time? . cope with that, mentally, at the time? , ,., cope with that, mentally, at the time? , . ., , , time? this might sound crazy but... you know. — time? this might sound crazy but... you know. being — time? this might sound crazy but... you know, being in _ time? this might sound crazy but... you know, being in the _ time? this might sound crazy but... you know, being in the moment- time? this might sound crazy but... | you know, being in the moment and not winning a tournament that you've been there for just not winning a tournament that you've been there forjust under two months, trying to achieve this one goal, you're fully focused on that so the aftermath, you're not quite mentally tuned into it because you're still thinking about the game. and for me, that was the case, and it took me about a week or two weeks to clear my head and then i started taking note of the different types of people that have stepped up and started defending us, and you know, spreading the word that racism isn't 0k. know, spreading the word that racism isn't ok. so i didn't actually see it properly for a couple of weeks.
11:26 am
but, yeah, when i did see it was definitely a great feeling for me, obviously, i was having surgery at the time, as well, so it was nice to see that people have come together and all stood for the same thing, but also, people of different backgrounds and people from different environments, different religions, all saying the same thing, and it was nice to see that. what do you think when you look at the mural, that image of the euro with all the notes and letters posted on it? how does that make you feel? —— the image of the mural. it's something that you forget, never really. it's hard to describe the feeling it gives you but i have always said in public that i want to see people act as one in communities and environments, and that was one big highlight for me, that. it was a time when everybody came together and whatever they thought was the right thing to do, theyjust done it

that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. fbi agents have married —— arrested a married couple in las vegas. data cards containing sensitive information about the design for nuclear powered warships and submarines were handed to an undercover fbi agent in return for crypto currency payments. investigators said the data cards were hidden in packets of chewing gum, one concealed in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. this alleged below the radar attempt to reveal nuclear submarine secrets now sunk could have been a filler worthy of the name a spy who fed me, with a data card slipped into a sandwich. a chewing gum package and finally a plaster wrapper.
11:37 am
chewing gum package and finally a plasterwrapper. in chewing gum package and finally a plaster wrapper. in the finale, no doubt damned the spy who bled me. neighbours of the detained couple who live here in this discreet neighbourhood are in disbelief. while! no, that is pretty incredible, like out of a movie. it is a quiet neighbourhood and everyone _ is a quiet neighbourhood and everyone is very law—abiding. a little _ everyone is very law—abiding. a little surprising. it everyone is very law-abiding. a little surprising.— everyone is very law-abiding. a little surprising. it began in april last ear little surprising. it began in april last year when — little surprising. it began in april last year when jonathan - little surprising. it began in april last year when jonathan offered l little surprising. it began in april i last year when jonathan offered to sale restricted data concerning the design of nuclear powered warships to an unnamed foreign power. he wrote, i apologise for this poor translation into your language. the fbi says one of its foreign undercover agents was passed the letter which had a return address in pennsylvania, and used encrypt
11:38 am
e—mail to smoke the centre out. after a sweetener of $10,000 in crypto currency and a further diplomatic gesture to win trust, jonathan bit. the fbi says he agreed to drop off data injune at a secret location with his wife, a humanities teacher, on the lookout. they're a data card was fed into a peanut butter sandwich for which he received a further $20,000. in august a further drop off in eastern virginia involving a chewing gum package and a $70,000 payoff. finally the fbi panellist during a third drop—off in west virginia on saturday. —— the fbi pounced. the secrets well for sale on these warships weeks after america agreed to sell similar secrets to the australians in an attempt to counter chinese influence in the asia—pacific region. but no more as this by who has been dragging from the cold, one now appear at court on
11:39 am
tuesday. —— will now appear. we can talk down to our cbs correspondent. lots of james bond talk down to our cbs correspondent. lots ofjames bond movie references, sounds like something out of a movie, detail of the peanut butter sandwich, quite amusing, but how serious was this? this sandwich, quite amusing, but how serious was this?— sandwich, quite amusing, but how serious was this? this is incredibly serious, serious was this? this is incredibly serious. to — serious was this? this is incredibly serious, to think _ serious was this? this is incredibly serious, to think that _ serious was this? this is incredibly serious, to think that someone i serious was this? this is incrediblyl serious, to think that someone who has top security clearance and is an engineer working for the navy on these nuclear warships would be willing to contact a foreign government or try to contact them in order to sell those secrets but not that much money, tens of thousands of dollars, is alarming and astounding. so far there has been no comment from the purple, they are due in court tomorrow —— from the
11:40 am
couple. this is a complete that originated in april of 2020 when jonathan, a nuclear engineer, reached out to that unnamed foreign government offering to sell that restricted information, it is unclear what motivated him to send that information in that packet of what we're asking was pamphlets and kind of a hint at what he could tell this unnamed government. still a lot of questions regarding which government it was, which country, we don't know and we don't know how the fbi have intercepted it on their end, hold me though is it was a foreign agent who got their hands on that letter and was able to say, this person is up to no good, let's start contacting them and communicating with them, pretending to be the foreign government, see how far we get with this, and ultimately that is how this couple
11:41 am
was caught. the ultimately that is how this couple was caught-— was caught. the court process is onl 'ust was caught. the court process is onlyjust beginning, _ was caught. the court process is onlyjust beginning, but - was caught. the court process is onlyjust beginning, but if- was caught. the court process is onlyjust beginning, but if they i onlyjust beginning, but if they were found guilty, potentially what punishment could they face? i do not know how many _ punishment could they face? i do not know how many years _ punishment could they face? i do not know how many years behind - punishment could they face? i do not know how many years behind bars i punishment could they face? i do not| know how many years behind bars but i imagine it would be a very strong sentence. these are trade secrets, this is a violation of several laws, espionage that is being alleged, so this is something that i think all eyes are going to be on this court process, because it is out of a movie, it sounds like it, it is juicy. i think a lot of people, we expect government workers when you sign the contract, when you are working for the us government, that you are going to have pride in the country and you're going to protect the country, so for this person to so willingly offer this top—secret
11:42 am
information, we all want to know more about this person and how they worked together and potentially if there is other people like this out there. prince charles has told the bbc that he can see why campaigners from groups like extinction rebellion take to the streets to demand action on climate change. but he suggested actions such as blocking roads didn't help their cause. the prince of wales urged people to follow his example of not eating meat and fish two days a week, and dairy on another day, to reduce their environmental impact. he was speaking to our climate editor, justin rowlatt, in the garden of his home on the balmoral estate. great to see you. you made it. this was a rather empty field that the farm didn't need any more. the great thing was i managed to plant it the same year my grandson was born, the eldest, george. so i thought i'd call it prince george's wood. all of our grandchildren, if we're lucky enough to have them, will inherit the earth that we bequeath them, won't they? how worried are you about
11:43 am
the stated that inheritance? —— state of. deeply worried. i've always felt we're somehow trained to believe that nature is a separate thing from us and we can just exploit and control and suppress everything about her without suffering the consequences. this is what is so interesting, coming back 50 years later, and talking here in this beautiful garden of yours, that the narrative has changed. lots of the things that you said are now mainstream. it's taken far too long. world leaders are gathering in glasgow to talk about the kind of issues that you were... they just talk. the problem is to get action on the ground, which is what i've been trying to do for the last a0 years. what about the people who protest? what about extinction rebellion? do you understand why they go out? of course i do, yes. but it isn't helpful, i don't think — to do it in a way that alienates people. i totally understand the frustration. the difficulty is, how do you direct that frustration in a way that is more constructive, rather than destructive.
11:44 am
the point is that people should really notice how despairing so many young are. so let me ask you this... is our government doing enough to make these things happen? i couldn't possibly comment. you've got a pretty hefty carbon footprint. yes. put it like this. it must take a lot of gas to heat a palace. yes, yes. but i have tried for a very long time to make sure the heating is done in a way that is as sustainable as possible. i've put in biomass boiler systems, solar panels, i've got electric cars. it's been so difficult. one thing not everybody knows about you is you are bit of a clarkson, is it fair to say? jeremy clarkson. not really, no. a bit of a kind of petrol head. you've always enjoyed cars. well, yes, yes. but that was before we knew what the problems were particularly. my old aston martin, which i've had for 51 years, that runs on, can you believe it?
11:45 am
surplus english white wine and whey from the cheese process. you've converted your fuel. what would you say to viewers of bbc breakfast? people watching this in terms of diet? should they be eating less meat? the business of what we eat is important. for years, i haven't eaten meat and fish on two days a week and i don't eat dairy products on one day a week. that's one way to do it. if you did that, if we all did that, you would reduce a lot of the pressure on the environment as everything else. there will be people watching this, you know this is true, who will be sceptical. of course. and they'll say, "listen, the uk produces 1% of world emissions. other countries aren't doing their bit. why on earth should we make this huge effort and hobble our economies for something which ultimately will be useless?" what would you say to them about why this is urgent and what is at stake for them and
11:46 am
also for the world. it will be a disaster. it will be catastrophic. it is already beginning to be catastrophic because nothing in nature can survive the stress that is created by these extremes of weather. having discussed these issues, what would your ideal for a future britain look like? i think we should be leading the way, particularly in terms of how we could, as an island... i've always felt we could have an enormous impact as somewhere which was renowned for its environmental quality — the way we farm and the kind of products we produce and how they are related to telling a story about the place, the people. we wanted to help plant avenues of trees which could commemorate all the people who've died during this pandemic. and it's an autumn garden, isn't it? it's really for autumn colour,
11:47 am
and a bit of spring. can we go and have a look at the chokeberries? the extraordinary thing is none of the birds eat them. there are different varieties of them. i wouldn't. .. there are better ones. they're a bit tart. slightly astringent. they're supposed to be a health food, aren't they? yeah, yeah. ministers are coming under increasing pressure to intervene to support steel and other hard—hit sectors, more talks about how to talk rising energy prices take place today between junior ministers and industry leaders stop the labour shadow business minister is here, what should the government do? the ve first what should the government do? tia: very first thing is what should the government do? ti2 very first thing is the government has to be actively listening and working to plan a way forward within the industry. we are all extremely disappointed that the talks on friday didn't seem to achieve any
11:48 am
outcomes, but what we have seen a farce with disagreements over which departments are talking to each other. the calls for industry —— from industry are very urgent, what we have seen in the face of what has been a failed energy policy for many years, the government cut corners on different areas. mt; years, the government cut corners on different areas.— different areas. my question wasn't, what is the government _ different areas. my question wasn't, what is the government doing i different areas. my question wasn't, i what is the government doing wrong? it is what should the government do? what do you want them to do? thank ou, and i what do you want them to do? thank you. and i think _ what do you want them to do? thank you, and i think what _ what do you want them to do? thank you, and i think what the _ what do you want them to do? tiaerz you, and i think what the government needs to do is actively work with industry. we have seen... sorry, the are industry. we have seen... sorry, they are working _ industry. we have seen... sorry, they are working with _ industry. we have seen... sorry, they are working with industry, i industry. we have seen... sorry, i they are working with industry, they are having talks, i am interested in what concrete measures labour win want to do and would like to see happen. i want to do and would like to see ha- ten. ., . want to do and would like to see ha en, ., , , want to do and would like to see ha en. , ., want to do and would like to see ha en. .,, , ., ., want to do and would like to see hay-en, , ., ., happen. i was 'ust about to say that what we need — happen. i wasjust about to say that what we need to _ happen. i wasjust about to say that what we need to do _ happen. i wasjust about to say that what we need to do is _ happen. i wasjust about to say that what we need to do is be _ happen. i wasjust about to say that what we need to do is be working i what we need to do is be working with industry and what the core reasons as well for those energy
11:49 am
prices are. and what more can be done. there is more that can be learned from other european countries as well, more that can be donein countries as well, more that can be done in terms of what other cost businesses are facing. we have seen that there are the jobs tax coming in next year, what can be done in the short—term and also need to be donein the short—term and also need to be done in the medium—term to make sure there is secure and affordable energy prices. 50 there is secure and affordable energy prices-— there is secure and affordable energy prices. so when you said about liking _ energy prices. so when you said about liking there _ energy prices. so when you said about liking there to _ energy prices. so when you said about liking there to be - energy prices. so when you said about liking there to be more i about liking there to be more scrutiny behind the reason behind the energy prices being where they are, what is your suspicion and what can be done about that? ieirui’hat are, what is your suspicion and what can be done about that?— are, what is your suspicion and what can be done about that? what we know is that there has _ can be done about that? what we know is that there has been _ can be done about that? what we know is that there has been the _ can be done about that? what we know is that there has been the increase i is that there has been the increase in what businesses are facing, because of the wholesale prices increase, but what has been called for by industry in terms of looking at wholesale prices, networking
11:50 am
charges, looking at other ways in which terracotta from business, it is important to be part of the mix. there has got to be a response in the short—term first because if production is slowed, the impact it has only foundation —like steel is that passes those costs on into other sectors, that passes those costs on into othersectors, product that passes those costs on into other sectors, product supply, aerospace, other areas of industry, the same when you look at other energy intensive users, larson ceramic. ., . energy intensive users, larson ceramic. ., , ., , , ceramic. that is oversee the problem that has been — ceramic. that is oversee the problem that has been identified. _ ceramic. that is oversee the problem that has been identified. -- - ceramic. that is oversee the problem that has been identified. -- glass i that has been identified. -- glass and ceramic- _ that has been identified. -- glass and ceramic. these _ that has been identified. -- glass and ceramic. these costs - that has been identified. -- glass and ceramic. these costs not i and ceramic. these costs not isolated for, ——, there will be higher prices for consumers, so what i want to see is that there are productive talks where businesses who are coming out of those talks say that they have made some progress, ratherthan say that they have made some progress, rather than what we saw on friday which is the british chamber
11:51 am
of commerce saying that there hadn't been progress and they had to produce their own winter plan. that covered a whole range of areas as well. what we have to understand is the supply chain shortages, other issues that we have seen with chaos after chaos, crisis after crisis, this is not an isolated issue. sorry, i really would like to get to the bottom of what exactly you do then, because you have explained very well what the issue is and the concerns about where the higher prices get passed on —— you would do, but when you consider that the impact on business, are you saying that businesses should have a price cap, as domestic households do? fine cap, as domestic households do? one ofthe cap, as domestic households do? one of the things — cap, as domestic households do? i2 of the things we think is that the government must keep all options on a table to guarantee security and continuity of supply. and undertake an urgent review as well about whether the energy supply market is currently unfit for purpose. there has to be a lot more that is done in
11:52 am
terms of planning for crises, because this hasn't come out of the blue, some measures have been called for the last six or seven years, thatis for the last six or seven years, that is because industry has seen issues coming down. i that is because industry has seen issues coming down.— that is because industry has seen issues coming down. i am confused as to wh ou issues coming down. i am confused as to why you are — issues coming down. i am confused as to why you are not _ issues coming down. i am confused as to why you are not saying _ issues coming down. i am confused as to why you are not saying what - issues coming down. i am confused as to why you are not saying what you i to why you are not saying what you would do and what you would like to be done, you want to talk to be productive, what would be a constructive position as far as you are concerned for the government to take in achieving that? i are concerned for the government to take in achieving that?— take in achieving that? i think i have said that _ take in achieving that? i think i have said that what _ take in achieving that? i think i have said that what we - take in achieving that? i think i have said that what we need i take in achieving that? i think i have said that what we need is| take in achieving that? i think i i have said that what we need is a proper plan for the security and affordability of energy supply, for industry as well. there are different ways in which that and other costs for businesses and industry can be addressed, and there are both the short—term issues as well as what is to be done in the medium—term, so we don't lurch from crisis to crisis,. we saw a big battle with government, a u—turn from the government and that sort
11:53 am
remedies for the steel industry being kept in place that was then the crisis about whether production would continue. the government has to make sure there is a plan, they have to heed the call for a winter plan. they have to look at where there are other course on businesses like the job hikes there are other course on businesses like thejob hikes coming, because thejobs tax hike, because like thejob hikes coming, because the jobs tax hike, because without that you will see cost been passed on to smaller businesses and also to families, and those prices going up. when you talk about... families, and those prices going up. when you talk about. . ._ families, and those prices going up. when you talk about... when you look at other countries, _ when you talk about... when you look at other countries, you _ when you talk about... when you look at other countries, you have _ when you talk about... when you look at other countries, you have to - when you talk about... when you look at other countries, you have to make i at other countries, you have to make sure there is a better level playing field for our companies versus other european companies, so what has france doing better, germany? what can we learn? i france doing better, germany? what can we learn?— can we learn? i think! am hearing from what — can we learn? i think! am hearing from what you're _ can we learn? i think! am hearing from what you're saying, - can we learn? i think! am hearing from what you're saying, when i can we learn? i think i am hearing| from what you're saying, when you talk about what needs to happen in the long term, is there a conflict between what the demands are in the short—term, ie subsidies to high
11:54 am
energy prices being better but subsidised by the government, and when you look at what happens with subsidies according to one report across the g20, bearing in mind we have cop26 coming up, fossilfuel subsidies since 2015 have been 2.a trillion. quite hard to pin down the cost of subsidies for fossil fuel in this country, but the research seems to rain somewhere between 3 billion ad 19. there is a disconnect in terms of what happens in the longer terms of what happens in the longer term at where we are now. how do you see that getting resolved? you have had a very important issue because they are short—term issues, and longer term transition. we they are short-term issues, and longer term transition.- longer term transition. we are behind where _ longer term transition. we are behind where we _ longer term transition. we are behind where we should i longer term transition. we are behind where we should be i longer term transition. we are behind where we should be oni longer term transition. we are i behind where we should be on that transition to green steel. particularly as steel is a foundation industry that supplies other sectors, infrastructure and
11:55 am
other sectors, infrastructure and other industries. what needs to happen is that there is a dealing with a short—term crisis, because there is also a false economy, if you see production slowed and part—time production, we have already started to see, the government has been warned about this, that will slow production and revenues and start to hitjobs. that also is a cost that we will pay. i think you have to look at the transition, you want to see this in terms of notjust cop26 and other responsibilities, also a long—term sustainability for the sector, labour just sustainability for the sector, labourjust if sustainability for the sector, labour just if you sustainability for the sector, labourjust if you weeks ago called for a £3 million programme for steel that was ashley all about transition, we are working very closely with industry at what that is to be. i have caused today and regular calls with all different parts of industry. we have to take it seriously, not slow down the
11:56 am
green steel programmes, because it isn't about the future, it is about dealing with the short—term issues now, having investment now for the future, because it is going to take a number of years to make sure that transition can be in place.— transition can be in place. thank ou. what makes a great new building? the shortlist for this year's riba stirling prize for architecture includes key worker housing, an eco friendly mosque and a footbridge. that is town house at kingston university. it incorporates a library and a dance studio space. you it incorporates a library and a dance studio space.— it incorporates a library and a dance studio space. you may not realise you _ dance studio space. you may not realise you are _ dance studio space. you may not realise you are in _ dance studio space. you may not realise you are in a _ dance studio space. you may not realise you are in a university - realise you are in a university building but a structure that is asking you, what you want to do? i am a director, we're sitting in town house which is a building we realised as a result of the

and industry leaders. the government has faced repeated calls from manufacturers and labour to intervene and the trade body, uk steel, said boris johnson needed to take control before it was too late. the crisis has also sparked a public row between the business department and the treasury. yesterday an unnamed treasury official accused mr kwarteng of "making things up" when he said the chancellor rishi sunak was discussing a support package with him. shadow business minister seema malhotra says the government needs to do more. the malhotra says the government needs to do more. , , malhotra says the government needs to do more-— to do more. the first thing is that we've not to do more. the first thing is that we've got to _ to do more. the first thing is that we've got to see _ to do more. the first thing is that we've got to see a _ to do more. the first thing is that we've got to see a government i to do more. the first thing is that l we've got to see a government that is actively listening and working to plan a way forward with industry. i think we are all extremely disappointed that the talks on friday didn't seem to achieve any outcomes and what we have seen over the weekend is disagreement over which departments actually talking to each other. i think the call from industry for government to get a grip are very urgently needed. {jut

12:06 pm
with prince andrew. he has consistently denied ms guiffre's allegations. graham satchell reports. this is the now famous photograph of prince andrew and virginia giuffre, taken more than 20 years ago, when she wasjust17. ms giuffre claims she was trafficked to the uk and sexually assaulted by prince andrew — a claim the prince denies. this is ms giuffre last year with her legal team. she is bringing a civil case against the duke of york in america. the court documents claim prince andrew sexually abused her, knowing she was a child. the met police have conducted a series of reviews into the allegations against prince andrew, and started another one when details of the civil case became clear. speaking last year, the met commissioner, dame cressida dick, said no one is above the law. now, in a statement, the met say they have concluded their review and will be taking no further action. ms giuffre is alleged to have been trafficked to the uk by the american financier and sex offender

12:08 pm
further, i don't think there was any particular expectation there was likely to be a criminal investigation or criminal prosecutions here in the united kingdom, but within royal circles i think there will be continuing concern at what is taking place in the united states where the civil lawsuit of course is still very much taking place. we recall that prince andrew, shortly after stepping back from public life, said that he would fully cooperate with any legitimate investigation by the us authorities. to be candid, there has been very little public evidence of him doing that. his approach up to now appears to have been, let's just try to ignore it and hope it all goes away. this clearly is not going to go away, in so far as the american action is concerned, and there appears to have been a change in tactics now by prince andrew and his lawyers. american celebrity lawyers have been appointed and they are engaging with the civil lawsuit brought by virginia giuffre.
12:09 pm
we must remember that prince andrew has consistently and absolutely denied any impropriety and his family must be hoping that he can now finally establish his innocence. but it is a distraction from other things — this is our top story this morning at a time when clarence house, for example, would be hoping we were paying much more attention to the interview with the prince of wales about cop26 and, broadly speaking, let's be honest, this is not a good position for a member of the british royal family to find himself in. nhs england has stepped up its appeal for pregnant women to get vaccinated against covid—19. its figures suggest that expectant mothers who haven't had a single dose accounted for one in six coronavirus patients needing specialist treatment in intensive care this summer. england's top midwife has stresssed that the vaccine is safe and effective during pregnancy. when you are pregnant, obviously you are looking after this baby growing
12:10 pm
inside of you so all of your blood and your energy is focused on growing that baby. it puts quite a strain on your lungs, on your heart system and that is what covid does as well. so what we're doing is layering on pressure on an already pressurised system inside a pregnant woman, and that is why in critical care we are seeing almost 20% of people who are having extra support, so lung or heart support on critical care, being pregnant women who are unvaccinated. the evidence is really clear — if you are not vaccinated yet and you are pregnant, please take up that life saving offer of protection. adults in wales will now have to prove that they're fully vaccinated against coronavirus or show a negative lateral flow test to get into nightclubs and large events. people can face fines of £65 if they show a counterfeit pass. tomos morgan reports. the night—time industry across the uk is wishing for a bumper christmas this year
12:11 pm
following 2020's second lockdwon. however, in wales from today, those spending the early hours clubbing will need a vaccine pass before entering those establishments. it is certainly an inconvenience, but nothing that we can't go around. but it won't be even close as an inconvenience as it is to be asked to close down. so if that's what we must do, that's what we will do. the vaccine passports are a good idea because they ensure set rules of security for the community that goes on a night out. it's not fair for people who haven't had the vaccine or are too - scared to get the vaccine. there are some people out there. who don't want to get the vaccine. i was like one of the people that were super waiting to be called to have the shot of the vaccine so i completely agree with this. the pass will show that individuals have either been double vaccinated, or have had a recent lateral flow negative test. and people can be fined

12:13 pm
have to provide their vaccine pass. whereas in nightclubs, everybody may be asked to provide their pass as queueing is the norm there. some businesses in the welsh capital have expressed concern at the lack of clarity on this issue, questioning the different approaches taken by each uk nation government. we just don't get it. we just don't get the discrepancy between england and wales. and then you are left with the situation as in, for example, with colleague businesses in newport, plenty of their customers will probably be hopping over the bridge for a good night out in bristol, come next weekend. the first minister has said if things remain as they are, the economy and life in wales would remain as is over the winter period. however, if things do deteriorate, measures could be brought back into daily life to help relieve the pressure on the nhs — once again highlighting that the pandemic is not over just yet. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. travel between the uk and dozens of long haul destinations including

12:18 pm
complicated issue, isn't it, in that any subsidy is continuing to pay for fossilfuel any subsidy is continuing to pay for fossil fuel that we need to move away from in the future, but those prices are hitting people hard, and obviously businesses are saying they may have to hold production. so what would you say is the best solution in the short time? in would you say is the best solution in the short time?— would you say is the best solution in the short time? in the short-term it is very difficult _ in the short time? in the short-term it is very difficult because _ in the short time? in the short-term it is very difficult because these i it is very difficult because these prices are set internationally so the uk government has very little control the price. in the short time, i mean, it can agree and discuss subsidies or pilots like it had to do with fertiliser production quite recently. —— subsidies or bailoutss. but the dilemma for the uk government is not getting yourself into deep with too many of those things because of course there is a cost and that will be borne by taxpayers. for domestic customers, we have a price cap and there isn't really an equivalent for industrial consumers at the moment. would it be

12:20 pm
next 5—10 years are critical to keep going. i think the big challenges some of the other areas of our economy, particularly home heating, which people will be very aware of now with the price of gas and where there are starting —— the weather is starting to get a bit cooler. and we really have to start moving some of our houses to alternative sources of heating. that's happening way too slowly at the moment and that really needs to be sped up. stand slowly at the moment and that really needs to be sped up.— needs to be sped up. and how does that net needs to be sped up. and how does that get sped _ needs to be sped up. and how does that get sped up? _ needs to be sped up. and how does that get sped up? because - needs to be sped up. and how does| that get sped up? because anything like that is obviously incredibly expensive. it like that is obviously incredibly “pensive-— like that is obviously incredibly exensive. , , , ., expensive. it is expensive, though there will be _ expensive. it is expensive, though there will be savings, _ expensive. it is expensive, though there will be savings, especially i expensive. it is expensive, though there will be savings, especially if| there will be savings, especially if you combine it with measures to make houses more efficient. we have had some success in that part that relates told five years or so ago with things like insulating walls and lofts of homes. that really needs to be redoubled. so it's reducing the amount of energy people need and therefore when prices are high like they are, the impact of

to help people. as we already do for her suitors through the winter, especially on low incomes, pensioners, etc. —— per hell's holds through the winter. and businesses may need the same. but if we're going to keep paying out that subsidy for taxpayers, we need to make sure it's future investment, anything that's necessary to bail out people in the short time, whether they're householders or businesses. whether they're householders or businesses-— whether they're householders or businesses. ~ ., , ., . businesses. where does the balance currently lie — businesses. where does the balance currently lie in _ businesses. where does the balance currently lie in terms _ businesses. where does the balance currently lie in terms of _ businesses. where does the balance currently lie in terms of subsidy? i currently lie in terms of subsidy? the research i've been able to identify in terms of fossil fuel subsidies indicates that uk subsidy forfossilfuel in 2019 subsidies indicates that uk subsidy for fossil fuel in 2019 was possibly up for fossil fuel in 2019 was possibly up to £13 billion, possibly 3 billion, it's not easy to get to the bottom of that. but in terms of the g20 overall, since 2015, fossil fuels have been subsidised to the tune of 2.4 trillion, so there is a lot of money going into subsidising fossilfuel. in terms lot of money going into subsidising fossil fuel. in terms of subsidising green energy in this country, what's the level in that? i

broadcaster and naturalist chris packham has said he fears for his life after an arson attack outside his home in the new first in hampshire. in his first interview since the incident he has been telling bbc news exclusively what happened in the early hours of friday morning. two men, at least two men, masked and covered, parked a landroverfull of fuel against my garden gate and set fire to it, which obviously caused a significant explosion, damaging the gate beyond repair, very sadly, actually, damaging an oak tree alongside the gate as well. we have cctv at the property and have been working closely with the police to make sure we comply with all their suggestions. we see this as an escalation of threats against us that have been ongoing for 2—3 years. in previous instances they've tied to dead animals against the gates.
12:26 pm
only recently i found another animal outside the house. this has been ongoing, we have received death threats and have received all sorts of unpleasant things through the post. i've worked very closely with the police and been given excellent guidance on how to deal with these things and we've been complying, but as you can imagine, getting evidence to find out who the perpetrators are is very difficult and they have done their very best, but up until this point we haven't been able to pursue any individuals, although we have quite a good idea about who some of them might be. what we've got to ask is, where does it stop? is it next time, they're going to burn the house down? there could be someone in that house. are they going to vandalise my car and make it dangerous to drive? or that of my partner? they've already damaged my business interests considerably, and again, this is stoked up by the engagement of certain countryside organisations. i've taken a considerable financial hit on account of the fact that they harass people who would employ me. i have absorbed that,
12:27 pm
i'm carrying on, i have found alternatives but there is no alternative if your house is burned down or your stepdaughter is beaten up or your partner, my partner, is hurt, as well. i don't know, where does it stop? i have to continue. and in fact, i have an ever increasingly urgent need to continue, given the parlous state of the world, and also, i am very conscious of the fact that one of the reasons the natural world is in such a poor condition is because environmentalists and conservationists like myself and indeed even prince charles, as he submitted this morning on your report, you know, we feel a certain underlying sense of shame that we haven't done enough quickly enough, and both he and i are older gentlemen, shall we say, and as a consequence of that we recognise our time is running out, and therefore we have to act with ever more energy and determination to make a difference whilst we have that opportunity to do so. so of course, i cannot back down and i will not back down. i may change my mind if i think one of the things i'm campaigning for turns out to be wrong, we all should reserve that
12:28 pm
right, because i am asking other people to change their minds. but at this point in time, the things i am campaigning against, fox hunting, illegal and unsustainable shooting, so on and so forth, i think it would be beneficial to the natural world if we were to phase them out or stop them straightaway in some instances, and so that is... that is a mission i have to accept. and it cannot be made impossible. chris packham. time for a look at the weather. well has been relatively kind to most of us this week, for most it be a dry day there will be some sunshine, but some clouds, across the highlands is pretty thick and some outbreaks of rain, a weather front affecting the hebrides in stornoway, but south of that it's dry and there will be some sunshine

12:32 pm
on suspicion of selling secrets to what the pair believed was a foreign power. data cards containing sensitive information about the designs for nuclear—powered warships and submarines were handed to an undercover fbi agent in return for cryptocurrency payments. investigators said the data cards were hidden in packets of chewing gum — one was concealed in a peanut butter sandwich. mark lobel reports. this alleged below the radar attempt to reveal nuclear submarine secrets now sunk could have been a film worthy of the name the spy who fed me, with a data card slipped into a sandwich, a chewing gum package and finally a plaster wrapper. in the finale, no doubt dubbed the spy who bled me. neighbours of the detained couple who live here in this discreet neighbourhood are in disbelief. wow! no, that is pretty incredible, like out of a movie.
12:33 pm
it is a quiet neighbourhood and everyone is very law—abiding. a little surprising. it began in april last year whenjonathan offered to sell restricted data concerning the design of nuclear powered warships to an unnamed foreign power. he wrote... the fbi says one of its foreign undercover agents was passed the letter which had a return address in pennsylvania, and used encrypted e—mail to smoke the sender out. after a sweetener of $10,000 in crypto currency and a further diplomatic gesture to win trust, jonathan bit. the fbi says he agreed to drop off data injune at a secret location with his wife, a humanities
12:34 pm
teacher, on the lookout. there a data card was fed into a peanut butter sandwich for which he received a further $20,000. in august a further drop off in eastern virginia involving a chewing gum package and a $70,000 payoff. finally the fbi pounced during a third drop—off in west virginia on saturday. the secrets were up for sale on these warships weeks after america agreed to sell similar secrets to the australians in an attempt to counter chinese influence in the asia—pacific region. but no more as the spy who has been dragged in from the cold, will now appear at court on tuesday. i spoke to the cbs news correspondent about theirs. think

someone who _ correspondent about theirs. think someone who is _ correspondent about theirs. think someone who is top _ correspondent about theirs. think someone who is top security i someone who is top security clearance, is an engineer working for the navy on these nuclear warships, would be willing to contact a foreign government or try to, in order to sell those secrets, but not that much money, tens of thousands of dollars, is alarming understanding. so farthere thousands of dollars, is alarming understanding. so far there has been no comment from the couple, as you heard, they are due in court tomorrow. this is a complete that originated in april of 2020 when jonathan, a nuclear engineer, reached out to that unnamed foreign government offering to sell that restricted information, it is unclear what motivated him to send that information in that packet, what we're hearing was pamphlet and kind of a hint at what he could tell this unnamed government. but still a
12:36 pm
lot of questions regarding which government it was, which country, we don't know, and we don't know how the fbi intercepted it on their end, all we know is it was a foreign agent who got his or her hands on that letter and was able to say, this person is up to no good, let's start contacting them and communicating with them, pretending to be the foreign government, see how far we get with this. ultimately, as you heard, that is how this couple was caught on saturday. how this couple was caught on saturda . . ., how this couple was caught on saturda . _, , ,, how this couple was caught on saturda . , ,, , how this couple was caught on saturda. , ,, ,., , saturday. the court process is only 'ust saturday. the court process is only just beginning. _ saturday. the court process is only just beginning, but _ saturday. the court process is only just beginning, but if _ saturday. the court process is only just beginning, but if they - saturday. the court process is only just beginning, but if they were i just beginning, but if they were found guilty, potentially what punishment could they face? i do not know how many _ punishment could they face? i do not know how many years _ punishment could they face? i do not know how many years behind - punishment could they face? i do not know how many years behind bars, . punishment could they face? i do not i know how many years behind bars, but i imagine it would be a very strong sentence. these are trade secrets, this is a violation of several laws,
12:37 pm
it is espionage that is being alleged. this is something, i think alleged. this is something, i think all eyes will be on this court process, because it is out of a movie, it sounds like it, it is juicy. i think a lot of people expect government workers, when you sign that contract, when you're working for the us government, that you are going to have pride in the country and you agree to protect the country, so for this person to so willingly offer this top secret information, we all want to know more about who this person is and his wife, and how they work together, and potentially if there is other people like this out there. sydney's cafes, gyms and restaurants have welcomed fully vaccinated customers after nearly four months of lockdown. 70% of the adult population have received two doses of the covid vaccine — those who haven't will have to wait until the 1st of december to be released from stay at home orders. shaimaa khalil reports from sydney.

cheering. a day so many in new south wales had been waiting for. especially those in sydney and the surrounding areas. after more than 100 days in lockdown, cafes, restaurants and bars have finally reopened. cheers. i literally took the day off work tomorrow so i could stay up late tonight! being able to sit down i and have a coffee isjust, even though it's freezing outside, its so good _ there will still be covid—19 rules in place. inside venues, social distancing and masks are mandatory. the main feature of this reopening is that businesses will be responsible for making sure customers provide proof of vaccination. it has been a difficult 100 days but the efforts that people have made right across the state to go out and get vaccinated has enabled this great day to occur.
12:39 pm
there are going to be challenges — we know that — i ask again, everybody right across the state, to treat everybody with kindness and respect. this is the first step out of lockdown, with new south wales reaching a 70% vaccination rate and with many restrictions eased, life is looking quite different for those who have had their double jabs. many have started their day in the gym — something they have not been able to do for more than three months now. while others have rushed for that long awaited haircut. thank you to all the vaccinated people! yes! thank you to all the vaccinated people! correct! new south wales is the first state in australia to shift from elimination or a zero covid cases strategy, to reopening while ramping up vaccination numbers. the rest of the country will be watching to see what living with the virus looks like and how it will work. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney.

said that there was a correction. it's treasury officials who were involved in those talks, it is being said. lebanon's energy minister says a major fire at a tank at an oil storage facility which supplies one of the country's main power plants has been contained. the zahrani facility in southern lebanon received an emergency consignment of fuel on sunday night to help it restart operations. it had been forced to shut down a day earlier, during a nationwide power blackout. changes to the screening of blood donors are set to make it easier for more black people to donate in england. from the end of the year, donors will no longer be asked if they have recently had sex with a partner who may have been sexually active in an area with a high prevalence of hiv, which includes most of sub—saharan africa. the department of health said the move would not compromise safety. it removes a rule which is confusing and unnecessary and discriminatory. and already it is really easy to pick up risk of hiv through other

questions that are asked but this question prevents huge numbers of people from black communities, particularly black african communities, from being able to donate blood at a time that the government is trying to encourage more black people to donate blood so it is really, really positive and long overdue. the headlines on bbc news... the soaring cost of energy — there'll bemore talks today amid warnings that some factories could soon shut down. the metropolitan police say they're taking no further action after a review into sexual abuse allegations surrounding prince andrew. broadcaster and naturalist, chris packham, tells the bbc of his fears for his family's safety, following an arson attack outside his home in the new forest in hampshire. nasa's perseverance rover and its ingenuity helicopter have offered new insights into the surface of mars. but there's another mission underway
