hello, good afternoon. the family of an unvaccinated mother, who died from covid without getting to meet her newborn daughter, are appealing to all mums—to—be to getjabbed. saiqa parveen, who was 37, died in intensive care after catching coronavirus while eight months pregnant with her fifth child. she underwent an emergency caesarean and was on a ventilator until her death last monday. as the family prepare for herfuneral tomorrow, saiqa's brother, qayum mughal, implored pregnant women not to put off getting vaccinated. it was a tragic loss for all of us. for the sake of your loved ones, please get vaccinated. if she had the vaccine, she might live, she might have had a chance of surviving. so i request all pregnant women get their vaccine on time. otherwise you will lose everything. you will lose your loved ones, you will lose everything.

we lost everything. our sister was a lady of principle. most caring member of our family. so, once again, i request all peoples, including pregnant women, should have vaccine and save the pain of their loved ones. our condolences to you and it is clearly a very distressing time for you and we hear your message to people to get vaccinated, including pregnant women. did she talk to you about why she did not want to get vaccinated? basically in may and i thinkjune, she told my wife that the nhs policy changed and they invited her to get a vaccine and she said, it is too late now but when i have the baby,

i will get my vaccine. but she didn't have the chance to get the vaccine again. but when i had had covid back in march, i waited at least six hours to get my pfizer vaccine and at that time we asked her, my wife asked her but she said the doctors were saying no, you can't get a vaccine because you are pregnant. and ijust told you that they changed their mind in august but she refused. she said she would get the vaccine after the birth of the baby. we lost everything due to the circumstances. you must�*ve been very shocked because she was only 37 years of age. she was a relatively young.

yes, 37 years and she has five daughters. when her husband was allowed him to visit her, he spoke to her and when he told her that your daughter is missing you and waiting for a gift from you, a big long tear came from her eye and that was the last painful scene for us. a big long tear coming out from her eyes. that was the last contact we had since she went to the ventilator on the 26th of september. your message, having been through all this terrible trauma and grief, to anybody who is hesitating about having the vaccine whether they are pregnant or not, for whatever reason, you are saying, go out and get the vaccine, get both doses.

i ask people, please, please, please get vaccine. whether you're pregnant or not. kids and younger people. covid is very, very deadly. we have observed big, big, big loss and we are seeing everything in front of our eyes. it destroyed my sister completely. my sister got sepsis and other infections and she died in front of my eyes. that was very, very painful for me. so please, please, i pray to everybody, please get the vaccine and save yourself and your loved ones. that was the brother of saiqa parveen, who has died in hospital at the age of 37. let's speak to professor marian knight from the national perinatal epidemiology unit at oxford university.

thank you very much but being with us. what is your message to pregnant women who might be concerned still about getting the vaccine? it is very clear _ about getting the vaccine? it is very clear that _ about getting the vaccine? it is very clear that we _ about getting the vaccine? it 3 very clear that we have lots about getting the vaccine? it 1 very clear that we have lots of evidence now that we know that the vaccine is safe in pregnancy. whatever stage of pregnancy you are, there are no concerns, we know it does not pass across the placenta. in fact, we know that it is beneficial because whenever mums get vaccinated and their antibodies pass across the placenta and protect the baby. we also have a really good evidence that in the real world, the vaccine is protecting pregnant women against severe illness. so when we hear tragic stories like that of saiqa parveen, we know that if you are vaccinated, your risks of severe illness and being admitted to hospital and needing intensive care and of dying art vastly reduced, so

we know that vaccination really is the best thing for you and your baby. the best thing for you and your bab . , ,., ., , the best thing for you and your bab . , ., , baby. interesting, so not 'ust good for the pregnant h baby. interesting, so not 'ust good for the pregnant mother _ baby. interesting, so notjust good for the pregnant mother but - baby. interesting, so notjust good for the pregnant mother but good l baby. interesting, so notjust good i for the pregnant mother but good for the unborn child as well? absolutely. it is like many other vaccinations in pregnancy, flu vaccine, whooping cough vaccine, they protect the baby as well as the mother, so one vaccine is protecting two people. mother, so one vaccine is protecting two maple-— two people. what is the evidence about how many _ two people. what is the evidence about how many pregnant - two people. what is the evidence| about how many pregnant women two people. what is the evidence - about how many pregnant women are ending up in hospital because they have not been vaccinated and have then got quite serious covid? looking at women who have been admitted to february and september, we note that there were about 2000 pregnant women admitted, 98% of those were unvaccinated, so that again shows how protective the vaccine is, and now it is the same

amongst women who are admitted to intensive care. 99% of those women are unvaccinated and the same, sadly, amongst women who died. and we also note that with the delta variant, pregnant women are particularly severely affected, so they are more likely to need intensive care then with previous variants of covid and sadly more likely to have pregnancy complications and to die. so now really is time to get the vaccine. so the delta variant has made it more dangerous for pregnant women who have not been vaccinated with mac who have not been vaccinated with ma. ., , , , ., who have not been vaccinated with mac absolutely. the delta variant, we know that _ mac absolutely. the delta variant, we know that about _ mac absolutely. the delta variant, we know that about half— mac absolutely. the delta variant, we know that about half of - mac absolutely. the delta variant, i we know that about half of pregnant women have severe infections with the delta variant, whereas before that was only a quarter. so it is significantly worse.— that was only a quarter. so it is significantly worse. thank you very

much indeed- _ significantly worse. thank you very much indeed. thank _ significantly worse. thank you very much indeed. thank you _ significantly worse. thank you very much indeed. thank you for - significantly worse. thank you very much indeed. thank you for your i much indeed. thank you for your time. . ~' ,, a senior uk medical adviser has said we could face a "difficult winter" unless more people get their covid boosterjabs. dr susan hopkins told the bbc that a growing number of elderly and vulnerable people who'd been double—vaccinated were being hospitalised, and dying with the virus, because their immunity was decreasing. alison freeman reports. if you would like to come through. it's being called a national mission. the government says it is down to all of us to do our part to stop winter restrictions being put in place by getting our boosterjabs. with health officials clear on the importance of the vaccine. i think that we are seeing immune waning effects from the vaccine. we know that the virus is circulating at very high levels in our community. so unless people get vaccinated, we will have a long and difficult winter. the booster today is the pfizer as well.

phil is doing exactly that. getting his third vaccination six months and one week after his second jab. it's available to have, there's no reason not to have it, and people should get it as soon as they can. and other people here felt the same. march 2020, i went through treatment for breast cancer, so i am really grateful to receive all three of my vaccines. it was really exciting waiting for it to happen, so i'm really pleased that i've been able to have it done. so far, around 10 million people have taken the boosterjab, but in the over �*80s age group, around 30% have not, and in the over 50s, that figure rises to around a0%. that's because some people in that age group aren't eligible yet. we didn't really get going with vaccinating in earnest until end ofjanuary, beginning of february. so if you put the 12 weeks between first and second dose, and then six months, which is the important timescale for the booster,

we are just getting to the point where people are starting to come through and be invited. young people are also being encouraged to get their vaccinations. here in york, eleanor, who is 12, was in the queue to have her first jab. i'm a bit nervous, but i'm glad that i'm doing it so that we can get back to normal. covid cases are dropping amongst the young, but numbers are still high, and with infection rates rising in older people who suffer more severely with symptoms, the push to get people vaccinated continues. alison freeman, bbc news, york. and in the latest official figures on coronavirus — just over 30,300 new infections were recorded in the latest 24—hour period. that means, on average, there were 35,362 new cases reported every day in the last week. there were another 62 deaths of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. that means an average of 168 deaths per day in the last week.

figures on boosterjabs show more than 10 million people have now received one — that includes third doses for those with certain health conditions. sir keir starmer has accused the prime minister of �*corrupt and contemptible' behaviour, saying he tried to protect a conservative mp after he was found to have broken the rules on lobbying. the labour leader said the government's attempt to overhaul the system thatjudges mps is "trashing" the uk's reputation for democratic standards. today one cabinet minister rejected that, and called the row a "storm in a teacup". here's our political correspondent chris mason. mps are forever aware how many people don't much like politicians. it's why for so many who spend their weeks here, this row over the government's behaviour gets right up their nose. because it leaves a whiff of this being a self—serving place. for the opposition parties, it's also a chance to take aim at the prime minister.

instead of upholding standards, he orders his mps to protect his mate and rip up the whole system. now, that is corrupt, it is contemptible, and it's not a one—off. and what makes me most angry is the prime minister is trashing the reputation of our democracy and our country. at the heart of this is this man, the former cabinet minister, owen paterson — he was found to have broken the rules by making the case to ministers and others on behalf of companies that were paying him. he was due to be thrown out of the commons for 30 days and potentially face a byelection until the government ordered its mps to back a review of the system. then, under intense pressure, it changed its mind. today, this cabinet minister claimed it wasn't about getting mr paterson off the hook. the vote wasn't to reject the report that had been put together. the vote was to establish an appeals

process so that mps in this sort of position that, yes, owen paterson was in, but others as well in future, would have a right of appeal, and i think that's right. it is still an important objective to have due process here, to have a right of appeal, but obviously, we can only take that forward with the agreement and cooperation of other parties. mps will return here tomorrow and spend around three hours debating parliamentary standards. there is still deep anger on all sides about what's happened here. the labour mp, chris bryant, who chairs the commons standard committee still wants parliament to vote to condemn owen paterson's behaviour, even though mr paterson has now resigned. plenty feel there is something of the rebuilding job to be done here for the government and parliament to restore trust in how this place works. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. the headlines on bbc news... the family of an unvaccinated

mother, who died from covid before meeting her newborn daughter, appeal to all mums—to—be to get the vaccine. borisjohnson is accused of "corrupt and contemptible behaviour" over his government's moves to change the system of upholding parliamentary standards and stop one of his mps being suspended. police in texas have opened a criminal investigation into the deaths of eight people in a crush at a music festival in houston on friday. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. i know you will talk us through the amazing liverpool goal in a moment, but let's kick off with the rugby. it was a great goal. we but let's kick off with the rugby. it was a great goal.— but let's kick off with the rugby. it was a great goal. we will get to the football _ it was a great goal. we will get to the football in _ it was a great goal. we will get to the football in a _ it was a great goal. we will get to the football in a minute. - it was a great goal. we will get to the football in a minute. we'll - the football in a minute. we'll start the rugby. scotland's win over australia to kick off their autumn nations series in the best possible way.

they won 15—13 at a packed murrayfield. sale sharks hooker ewan ashman restored scotland's lead with a try on his debut and, althouthames o'connor kicked australia back in front. finn russell scored the decisive penalty for scotland's third consecutive victory over australia. head coach gregor townsend said it was a victory for the fans, who've waited a long time for a really special day. england's women sealed back—to—back victories over new zealand in emphatic style. they thrashed the black ferns 56—15 at franklins gardens to become the number one side in the world. hooker amy cockayne touched down for the first of a hat—trick of tries in the opening ten minutes and england never really looked back from there. abi dow scoring the pick of their seven tries to seal another memorable win in northampton. arsenal put a first half penalty miss behind them to beat watford this afternoon at the emirates. it was their third successive win in the premier league, continuing their good run of form. natalie pirks has more.

a busy afternoon in the premier league began with a moment of reflection. mikel arteta was affecting on a change in fortunes, once considered an early shout for the sack, arsenal have been flying and it looks like their winning streak would continue the celebrations were premature, though. watford needed to settle and this did not help, danny rose's wrestling move on the arsenal striker landing in a penalty, but the agility was still very much there on 38—year—old ben foster500 appearance. watford manager promised he'd set if they could keep a clean sheet, but dinner seemed ruined. a frenetic finish so arsenal have another go offside and watford nearly capitalised on some slack defending, but a watford

sending—off insured mikel arteta's 100th match in charge of the gunners was a winning one. elsewhere in the premier league, it's currently west ham 1—1 with liverpool, approaching half—time. it is currently 1—1 in that match as we approach half—time. earlier leeds and leicester drew 1—1 at elland road. and antonio conte's first premier league game in charge of tottenham ended in a draw. it finished 0—0 between his side and everton at goodison park. the point takes spurs up to ninth and after only having a few days with his new team, conte knows there'll be work to do. this is a big challenge, a big challenge for me. i know that i am in the right place. identity, but i know i am in the very place and we

have a fantastic stadium, a fantastic training ground. i think this is the right place for me to work and we can build something important. we need some patients. —— we need a bit of patience. there's been a second premier league sacking of the weekend, with aston villa dismissing dean smith this afternoon, following norwich removing daniel farke yesterday. villa had lost their last five games, including defeat at southampton on friday, leaving them 15th in the table. in a statement, chief executive christian purslow said, "this year we have not seen the continuous improvement in results, performances and league position which we have all been looking for." smith had been in charge for three years at villa park. scottish premiership leaders rangers won 11—2 against the league's bottom side ross county today, keeping some distance between them and rivals celtic. they went back up to second after beating dundee 11—2 at dens park. jota and kyogo scored two apiece. jota getting his second early in the second half infront of the travelling celtic fans, and soon after, kyogo got his second, putting his side 4—1 in front. dundee did pull another back, but it

wasn't enough as celtic won 4—2. that's all the sport for now. more for you coming up in sportsday at 6:30pm. hopefully i will bring you that goal as well. borisjohnson has said delegates at the cop26 climate summit have just one week left to "deliver for the world", urging them to "pull together and drive for the line". negotiators in glasgow are discussing how to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 celsius. let's take a look at what has been achieved so far. ministers point to new commitments to net—zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century, meaning 90% of the world economy would be covered. ending and reversing deforestation, with more than 120 countries signed up. and over 100 companies have agreed to cut their methane emissions by 30% by 2030. a half—time assessment of what is going on there.

a half—time assessment of what is going on there. professor sir david king was the uk's chief scientific adviser from 2000 to 2007, and the government's permanent special representative for climate change from 2013 to 2017. he is also the founder and chair of the international scientific body climate crisis advisory group. hejoins me now. thank you very much for being with us. what is your verdict on what cop26 has achieved so far and what more does it still need to do? there is very important — more does it still need to do? there is very important week _ more does it still need to do? there is very important week still - more does it still need to do? there is very important week still to - more does it still need to do? ii—ii” is very important week still to come and until we see the decisions made at the end of the week, we will not know how well we have done or how badly we have done. what i do want to say, however, is that although 90% of the world has now committed itself to net zero emissions, there is a number of points we really need to be sobered up by, one of which is that when presidentjair to be sobered up by, one of which is that when president jair bolsonaro of brazil makes a commitment, can we really believe he means the commitment given everything that has

happened in brazil during his period? i would say exactly the same thing about the australian prime minister's commitment of net zero, but at the same time continuing to use coal right through to mid century. what we have is a lot of speeches and commitments, and one cannot help using that adult phrase, blah blah blah. let's see what delivery is. we are frankly in last chance saloon, and the discussion i hear going on in the cop26 does not match up to that reality. we are very long way after managing a manageable future for humanity, a very long way off, and the time line is very short to manage this. what we need from this cop26 meeting is real commitments to get to as close to absolute zero in emissions as

quickly as possible. with the wealthy countries leading the way and also helping developing countries to achieve their objectives. so i think the collaboration, the work required, weight of the onus of the job being on wealthier nations, this i do not hear being recognised.— on wealthier nations, this i do not hear being recognised. talking about real commitments, _ hear being recognised. talking about real commitments, you _ hear being recognised. talking about real commitments, you are - hear being recognised. talking about real commitments, you are doubting| real commitments, you are doubting the word of some of the leaders giving those commitments? you are saying you are not sure you can trust them?— saying you are not sure you can trust them? . , , ., �* trust them? that is exactly what i'm sa in. trust them? that is exactly what i'm sa inc. i trust them? that is exactly what i'm saying- i am — trust them? that is exactly what i'm saying. i am really _ trust them? that is exactly what i'm saying. i am really not _ trust them? that is exactly what i'm saying. i am really not very - saying. i am really not very impressed when a president who has watched, once again, the removal of those vital forests in brazil continuing as they were 20 years ago at that rapid rate, and, frankly, under the previous president, this was brought close to a halt and now

it has taken off again. it doesn't seem to be any recognition or any sense of contrite nest from either him or the prime minister of australia. so how can we take it as a net zero commitment when a country is saying, we will not slow down on coal, export or usage, in our own country? coal, export or usage, in our own count ? ., , ~ country? other leaders like the chinese president _ country? other leaders like the chinese president xi _ country? other leaders like the chinese president xijinping, i chinese president xijinping, haven't even turned up. chinese president xi jinping, haven't even turned up. there is far too much emphasis _ haven't even turned up. there is far too much emphasis on _ haven't even turned up. there is far too much emphasis on that. - haven't even turned up. there is far too much emphasis on that. there i haven't even turned up. there is far| too much emphasis on that. there is no country in the world doing more than china to move on and leave fossil fuels than china to move on and leave fossilfuels behind. china has built more renewable energy systems and more renewable energy systems and more nuclear energy systems over the last 15 years and the rest of the world put together.— last 15 years and the rest of the world put together. they still use a of coal. world put together. they still use a of coal- they _ world put together. they still use a of coal. they are, _ world put together. they still use a of coal. they are, but _ world put together. they still use a of coal. they are, but of _ world put together. they still use a of coal. they are, but of course - of coal. they are, but of course they have _ of coal. they are, but of course they have to — of coal. they are, but of course they have to get _ of coal. they are, but of course they have to get themselves i of coal. they are, but of course | they have to get themselves off of coal. they are, but of course - they have to get themselves off that

very quickly, but it is very difficult when your economy has been growing in between eight and 10% each year and the demand for electricity and energy usage is going up very much more rapidly even than that. as middle—class in china emerges, and this is a big consumer middle—class, so they are trying to meet the demands of the country and at the same time leave coal out of it. they have reduced their dependence on fossil fuels from something like 75% usage of fossil fuels to produce electricity to about 55% today. but at the same time, yes, they are still burning coal. they have a very big challenge and it is a very big country, but i think they are doing, for example, more than india is doing. india has made a very good and strong commitment, but to reduce internet zero by 2070, frankly, the world

will not be a survivable place if a large country like india continues to use coal up until 2070. so we have got a very long way to go. i think there is another very important point. today, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 1150 carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a50 ppm, that is not greenhouse gas levels, we add in methane in particular, methane rising so rapidly, we are at over 500 ppm today. i do not think there is a climate scientist who will say we can have a manageable future at that level. we must be removing greenhouse gases at scale and as quickly as possible. now, we are not going to discuss that at cop26, but i do hope that the understanding emerges over the coming two or three years so we can see the wealthy countries once again financing this proposition that we do remove

greenhouse gases at scale to bring them down from 500 ppm to more like 350 parts per, which create a more manageable future.— manageable future. thank you so much. manageable future. thank you so much- the _ manageable future. thank you so much. the uk's _ manageable future. thank you so much. the uk's former _ manageable future. thank you so much. the uk's former chief - much. the uk's former chief scientific adviser. and now a lot at the weather. —— a look at the weather. hello, the wind has certainly been a feature of the day across the north—eastern quarter of scotland. it is likely to remain so until this little ridge of high pressure really does tumble its way across all parts of the british isles. away from that north—eastern quarter, there is a north—westerly breeze to speak of but it is quite light already across the southern parts of england and wales. and as those skies begin to clear after dark, especially so across the eastern side of england and scotland, this is where we will see the temperatures really falling away. could be a touch of frost in one or two places. out west, different story altogether. increasing amounts of cloud will eventually bring cloud and wind

and rain into western scotland through northern ireland, maybe up through the irish sea as well. and there will be bits and pieces of rain until the main rain area gets in across northern ireland, through scotland and eventually into the north—west of england and north wales. further south and east, it is going to be a dry monday for you, and in the sunshine, you could see 13.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... the family of an unvaccinated mother, who died from covid before she could meet her newborn daughter, urge all mums—to—be to get the vaccine. saiqa parveen was eight months pregnant when she caught the virus — the mother of five died five weeks later. borisjohnson is accused of "corrupt and contemptible behaviour" over his government's efforts to change the parliamentary standards system and stop one of his mps being suspended. the prime minister is trashing

the reputation of our democracy and our country, and so this is far from a one—off.
