tonight at ten — the queen's doctors advise her not to travel to the global climate summit in glasgow. the 95 year—old monarch, who spent time in hospital last week, has been advised to rest at windsor castle. in glasgow, final preparations are being made for the gathering of many prominent figures and the message is clear. well, if we don't act now, it will be too late. we'll be speaking to sir david attenborough about what's at stake at the cop26 summit. also tonight... a pay rise for public sector workers, but the detail won't be known until next year. experts say there are signs that numbers of new covid cases are beginning to even out

and dropping slightly in england. ministers now say they will force water companies to make a "progressive reduction" in the sewage dumped in seas and rivers. and many tributes to a legend of scottish football — the manager walter smith — who's died at the age of 73. and coming up in the sport, on the bbc news channel... a good night for england as they maintained their perfect record in women's world cup qualifying thrashing latvia 10—0. good evening. the queen has accepted the advice of doctors and decided not to attend the global climate summit in glasgow which starts on sunday. her majesty, who's 95, spent a night in hospital last week and her doctors have

recommended some rest. the cop26 summit will be a major gathering of world leaders and the queen was expected to play a prominent role in welcoming those attending. to play a prominent role in instead, she will be recording a special message to show to delegates as our royal correspondent jonny dymond reports. this time last week, a reception for business leaders at windsor castle, and then a trip to northern ireland was cancelled and a visit to hospital substituted. today it was back to official engagements where a beaming queen gave a virtual audience to the new korean ambassador but this evening a palace statement, came out... i'm quite sure at the back of her

mind is that she wants to be absolutely fine and fighting fit on the 14th of november for remembrance sunday, the most sacred day in her calendar. to go to glasgow and to stand in a room full of coughing delegates from all over the world is probably an engagement too far. the messa . e probably an engagement too far. the message from the palace, remain calm, the queen is still carrying out official engagements, and she spoke to the chancellor about his budgetjust spoke to the chancellor about his budget just a spoke to the chancellor about his budgetjust a few hours ago and she will address the delegates to the conference, albeit by video, and the journey to glasgow, however, was just too long for her doctors liking. the climate change conference is close to the heart of the queen, and when opening the welsh parliament a few weeks ago she was overheard complaining about those who had not said whether they would turn up. and at the queen's absence is a blow for the conference and its organiser, the government will stop beating the queen is an

experience if you turn down, even if you forget 7 meeting the queen is an experience that very few turned down, and even if you are forget. jonny dymond, bbc news. our correspondent helena wilkinson is at windsor. given the stresses and strains of travelling all the way to glasgow, maybe this decision was not really much of a surprise? you are absolutely _ much of a surprise? you are absolutely right. _ much of a surprise? you are absolutely right. it - much of a surprise? you are absolutely right. it was - much of a surprise? you are l absolutely right. it was always going to be a possibility, given the queen is 95, given the fact she had to cancel her trip to northern ireland last week and given the fact she had to stay overnight in hospital last wednesday for those preliminary tests. but it is clear doctors feel it would have been too much and too exhausting for the queen to travel to glasgow and attend what is going to be a huge summit with global leaders. her majesty is here at windsor castle this evening and we understand in the coming days she will continue to

carry out lighter duties as she has been doing since she was discharged from hospital last thursday, but she is a queen who likes to be seen and likes to be out with people and no doubt, questions going ahead, going forward, aboutjust how much travel she carries out across the country in the future. she carries out across the country in the future-— in the future. once again, thanks for “oininu in the future. once again, thanks forjoining us- — millions of public sector workers will get a pay rise next year. the government says it will lift the pay freeze introduced last november with nurses, teachers and members of the armed forces among those set to benefit. the precise increase won't be known until next spring and depends on recommendations from independent pay review bodies. the government won't confirm whether the pay rises will be above inflation. labour says tax and price rises mean families are facing a cost of living crisis as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports.

look very carefully. promises may not be exactly what they appear. it's nearly budget time and there are plenty of vows and pledges around. we're going to start off by drawing some right—angled triangles. teachers in the classroom are just some of 2.5 million public sector staff who have had their pay frozen in england. that technical limit will disappear next year. welcome in theory but union reps want to know exactly what that will mean in practice. i think we have to wait and see what they are actually going to propose in terms of a wage increase because if it's not in line with the rate of inflation and the national insurance rise, anything less than that is going to be a kick in the teeth. before he's even back on the steps with the red box tomorrow, the chancellor has already come up with a long list of what sound like goodies. after the shock of the pandemic, it seems the economy is returning

to something like normal with more vigour than expected, but the politician who wants the red box for labour says check the terms and conditions. are these pay rises going to match the rising cost of living, with inflation set to reach 4% or even 5%7 and second, where does this money come from? will it come from the departmental budgets7 which means there is less money for the other things that schools and hospitals and the police force need to pay for. or will the chancellor provide new money to pay for this welcome increase in public sector pay7 the cash for extra wages will come out of each department's pot of money, rather than any extra from no 11, and the size of any wage rise isn't set yet. the pay review bodies for nurses, police and teachers will go away, they'll consider over the next few months what is the appropriate recommendation to government. they will then recommend it to the chancellor and then he'll announce that early next year.

we won't know for months how much extra teachers, firefighters, nurses, or anyone else whose wages are paid by the taxpayer, will actually get. and we won't know until tomorrow how much in total the chancellor wants to spend on the different parts of the public sector, whether that's education, defence, care or anything else. so much of what we've heard so far from the chancellor about the budget is political signalling. it's the small print, when he's on his feet in the house of commons tomorrow, that really counts. and the big headlines out there have already raised heckles in here... this house will not be taken for granted. it's not right for everybody to be briefed. it's not more important to go on the news in the morning. it's more important to come here! but the chancellor has chosen to warm up for his big budget day with a canine audience. he'll hail a new age of optimism, yet he may find a more hostile audience in the morning. laura kuenssberg, bbc

news, westminster. tomorrow is budget day at westminster and the chancellor rishi sunak is keen to set a new direction. rather than continuing to borrow money to prop up the economy, as he had to during the pandemic, he will instead try to show that he can manage the books and rein in spending. but with food and energy prices rising, demand for support is high, as faisal islam, our economics editor, reports. underpinning every budget is a precisionjudgment about the underpinning every budget is a precision judgment about the state of the economy and that has never been more complex. cuba precision, an engineering company in the west midlands, like other businesses around the country, has rebounded impressively in recent months but now the pressure is on, prices and wages are on the rise. day-to-day livin: for wages are on the rise. day-to-day living for staff _ wages are on the rise. day-to-day living for staff is _ wages are on the rise. day-to-day living for staff is getting _ wages are on the rise. day-to-day living for staff is getting more - living for staff is getting more expensive which means they would like to earn more money and in order for us to do that we had to increase

our prices to customers but we have to take into mind that energy prices are going up as well and also national insurance will be going up. rishi sunak will be keen to show national insurance will be going up. rishi sunak will be keen to show how well the economy has rebounded in recent months, the uk is currently the fastest—growing major economy but the sharp rebound in percentage terms has in part been driven by the huge fall of last year. what happens next with and worker shortages, rising prices and interest rates, is tricky to predict. so the shape of the economy being revealed tomorrow has both its treats and its tricks. at this pumpkin patch in sussex, business is thriving, but consumer concerns are very real. the weekly bud . et at concerns are very real. the weekly budget at the _ concerns are very real. the weekly budget at the moment _ concerns are very real. the weekly budget at the moment is - concerns are very real. the weekly budget at the moment is very - budget at the moment is very tight and with the costs going up of energy. and with the costs going up of ener: . a , and with the costs going up of ener: . w , ., and with the costs going up of ener: . , ., ., , energy. pumpkins are going up! pumkin energy. pumpkins are going up! pumpkin soup — energy. pumpkins are going up! pumpkin soup has _ energy. pumpkins are going up! pumpkin soup has never - energy. pumpkins are going up! pumpkin soup has never been i energy. pumpkins are going up! | pumpkin soup has never been so expensive — pumpkin soup has never been so

the former conservative minister owen paterson has defended his conduct after the parliamentary standards watchdog recommended that he be suspended from the commons for 30 days. in a report, the regulator said the mp had "repeatedly" broken lobbying rules while working as a paid consultant for two firms. but mr paterson denied wrongdoing, saying he was trying to alert the authorities to carcinogenic substances in milk and ham. after concerns about rising covid infection levels in the uk, there are signs that numbers of cases are beginning to even out and dropping slightly in england. one of the developers of the astrazeneca vaccine has told a committee of mps that the situation is improving. but 263 covid—related deaths were recorded today across the uk — the highest since february. our health editor hugh pym reports. there is a new push to vaccinate 12 to 15—year—olds in england this week, with bookings possible at vaccination hubs

during half term. and there was no shortage of takers at the centre in walsall. at first i was a bit scared, but when you have the jab, there was not that much pain, so i relaxed after. we are all in this together and we have all got to take our part, including the children. i think it is very important that the schools do not have the pressure of getting the children vaccinated. but in nottingham with walkins for boosterjab is now possible for boosterjabs now possible there was a more downbeat mood. the delta variant is such a worry and the nhs is under so much . pressure we have really got to do everything we can to help. - those of us who are being more sensible are having to go along with this boosterjust to try to protect us a little bit extra. scotland's first minister, meanwhile, were stressing the need for continued caution. today the cabinet agreed to make no change to the current regulations in place. this reflects our assessment that

although the situation has greatly improved since august, it does remain fragile as we head into the winter period. where do things go from here with covid7 scientists and modellers say there is still a lot of uncertainty, but some take the view that partly because of the continued vaccine roll—out case numbers may stabilise and perhaps fall back a bit. one of the leading players in the development of vaccines noted that while the virus was still spreading, he believed the outlook was a bit brighter. we are in an improving situation because of high vaccination - coverage that we have. the booster programme will start limiting even further— the number of cases, - particularly hospitalised cases. |and there has been lots of infectionj in the community, which is boosting a lot of the younger people as well, including children. j but whatever happens with covid, hospitals around the uk are under serious pressure, with a backlog of routine work which has built up and with concerns

about flu there are predictions of a very challenging winter head for the nhs. hugh pym, bbc news. turning to the latest official figures, they show there were 40,954 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period — that's about 3,000 fewer cases than last tuesday. it means an average of 44,702 new cases were reported per day in the last week. there were 8,693 people in hospital with covid as of yesterday. 263 deaths were reported — of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—i9 test — it follows unusually low reported figures over the weekend. on average in the past week — 140 related deaths were recorded every day. it comes as over 6.4 million people are reported

to have received their boosterjab — this includes third doses for those with certain health conditions. the united nations is warning that global plans to cut carbon fall far short of what's needed to stop dangerous climate change. it says national pledges will fail to keep the global temperature increase this century below 1.5 degrees celsius. sir david attemborough has added his voice to the debate, warning that, "if we don't act now, it will be too late". he says the richest nations need to meet their "moral responsibility" by helping the most vulnerable. he took a break from filming his new series that will be aired next year to speak to our science editor david shukman. action david, if you get up and walk away~ _ action david, if you get up and walk away~ h_ action david, if you get up and walk awa . �* , ,

in the sewage dumped in rivers following criticism by the house of lords. peers proposed a change to the environment bill last week but it didn't win enough support from mps. following widespread criticism, ministers have now promised to impose new legal control, as zoe conway reports this is untreated sewage being released into langstone harbour in hampshire. the footage was shot last thursday. the sewage poured out of it for 49 hours straight. the concern is notjust the faecal matter that's coming from the treatment plant, it's full of chemicals as well — all the chemicals we use every day that are underneath our sinks and we keep them locked away from our children, because they're toxic — they come out here. the sewage came from here, the budds farm treatment plant run by southern water. it's currently allowed to discharge what the company says is heavily diluted waste water into the harbour during heavy rainfall. this prevents it backing up and causing flooding.

it's not clear yet whether this 49—hour spill will be considered to be legal or not. southern water was fined £90 million for unlawful discharges injuly. but it's notjust in hampshire that this is happening. a sewage treatment plant less than a mile from where i'm standing in wallingford in oxfordshire discharged untreated sewage into this stretch of the river thames for 993 hours last year. the government has been under pressure from people taking to the streets, and from inside parliament, to ensure that water companies are legally required to reduce sewage discharges. tonight, the government gave in. we've listened to the debate that took place in parliament and we will write what is already government policy into the statutes to give people that reassurance they seek. what everyone agrees on is that britain's victorian water system needs fixing, but it will cost

billions and billions to do so. zoe conway, bbc news. the uk says it will co—operate fully with the authorities in kenya in relation to the death of a woman nearly a decade ago. agnes wanjiru was found dead in central kenya in 2012, after she had reportedly been at a hotel near a british army base. an inquest in kenya concluded she'd been murdered by british soldiers, as our correspondent ferdinand omondi reports. the pain of delayed justice and the revival of an episode rose would rather forget. nine years after her sister was killed, the mystery of that death and the fact that no one has been held accountable has been revived and rattled her peace, and reminded her that the killer, alleged to have been a british army soldier, is still a free man.

for good. walter smith — the former scotland and rangers manager and one of the most successful managers in the history of scottish football — has died at the age of 73. rangers said that he was a club legend who would be greatly missed. our correspondent alasdair lamont reports. celebrating success was something walter smith and rangers did a lot of. his time at ibrox littered with trophies. outside the stadium today, the sense of loss was both deep and personal. he was mr rangers, he was everybody�*s rangers dad. it's notjust the passing of a man, he was a legend. it's like losing a family member. he began coaching at a young age, joining the graeme souness revolution at rangers, before becoming manager in 1991. his legendary status at the club was sealed when rangers matched celtic�*s feat of nine straight title wins.

even his magic touch couldn't revive the fortunes of an ailing everton, so in 2004 he returned to scotland as manager of the national team. but the lure of his beloved rangers was strong and when he was asked back, he couldn't say no. three more league titles followed. walter smith's influence was most keenly felt here, but he did transcend both rangers and scottish football. tributes have come today from celtic, from sir kenny dalglish, from sir alex ferguson and also from pep guardiola and david moyes, to name but a few. walter was an incredible leader. a very successful manager here at rangers. i think he epitomised everything this club stands for. his dna is all over the club and it's obviously very sad news. scotland has lost one of its most remarkable sons. there is a poignancy though that he lived long enough to see rangers once again crowned scottish champions.

the former scotland and rangers manager walter smith, who's died at the age of 73. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello there. it's going to stay very mild in the next few days. temperatures today were widely 17 c but we're also going to find some heavy rain in the next few days. particularly across western areas, the southern uplands, cumbrian fells, northern penines and then into west wales, cumbrian fells, northern pennines and then into west wales, that heavy rain is going to lead to some flooding. a lot of rain band moves across southwards overnight into northern ireland for awhile then down towards the irish sea into the northwest of engalnd. still some fairly brisk south—westerly winds and a lot cloud tonight, so it's going to be very mild temperatures may be no lower than 13 or 14. we've still got that rain around. that will continue in similar sort of areas during wednesday. may effect northern ireland for awhile, the rain pushing up into the central bell to scotland.

towards the northwest, maybe a few showers. towards the northwest, maybe some sunshine but a few sharp showers and south of our rain band across a good part of england and wales, it'll dry and bright. may be a bit of sunshine coming through. and we could find temperatures perhaps even higher than they were during today.
