this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 8. the family of an unvaccinated mother, who died from covid—19, before she could meet her newborn daughter, urge all mums—to—be to get the vaccine. saiqa parveen was 8 months pregnant when she caught the virus — the mother of 5 died 5 weeks later. what the sake of god and the sake of your loved ones, please get vaccinated. if she had the vaccine, she might have lived and might have had a chance of surviving. labour accuses borisjohnson of "corrupt and contemptible behaviour", after he tried to change the rules governing mps conduct — just as one conservative mp had been found to have breached them. the prime minister is trashing the reputation of our democracy

and our country, and so this is far from a one—off. police in texas have opened a criminal investigation into a crush at a music festival in houston in which eight people died. officers are also investigating unconfirmed reports of audience members being injected with drugs. and coming up, the travel show heads to the northwest of iceland, good evening and welcome to bbc news. 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.

daughter, are appealing saiqa parveen, who was 37, died in intensive care after contracting coronavirus while eight months pregnant with herfifth child. she underwent an emergency caesarean and was on a ventilator until her death last monday. as the family prepare for her funeral tomorrow, saiqa's brother, qayum mughal, implored pregnant women not to put off getting vaccinated. he spoke to my colleague ben brown earlier today. it was a tragic loss for all of us. for the sake of god and 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, they 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 doctor refused to get her vaccinated, but then 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 these circumstances. you must�*ve been very shocked because she was only 37 years of age. she was relatively young. yes, 37 years and she has five daughters.

when her husband was allowed to visit her, he spoke to her and when he told her that your daughter is missing you and waiting 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. this 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 a woman who died, and she was pregnant, her baby was delivered by emergency cesarean section. herfamily imploring people

to get the vaccine. we'll get more on that in a moment from a member of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, but first, a senior uk medical adviser has said, we could face a "difficult winter" unless more people get their covid booster vaccines. 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 our booster jabs. health officials are 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. and 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 ten 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 the 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. let's get some reaction to all of that, and speak to professor adam finn, a professor of paediatrics at the university of bristol — and member of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. good evening, professor. iwonder good evening, professor. i wonder if we could start with the booster jabs. io we could start with the booster jabs. 10 million, is that where, are you happy with that figure at this point in the programme? goad point in the programme? good evenin: , point in the programme? good evening. yes. _ point in the programme? good evening, yes, this _ point in the programme? good evening, yes, this is _ point in the programme? good evening, yes, this is moving i point in the programme? (13mm evening, yes, this is moving forward very fast now but the faster we can go the better. in particular, we want to get those elderly people

boosted as soon as we can because, as your reporter said, we are seeing significant numbers of severe cases and deaths in fact in vaccinated elderly people who received the vaccine is very early on in the programme last year. in vaccine is very early on in the programme last year. in terms of the immunity decreasing, _ programme last year. in terms of the immunity decreasing, what _ programme last year. in terms of the immunity decreasing, what does - programme last year. in terms of the immunity decreasing, what does the | immunity decreasing, what does the booster ad? how long does it extend or top up your immunity was macro what we can say is that it does add to your immunity substantially, get you right up to the high levels that we all had immediately after our second dose, i'm afraid we don't really know yet how long that protection will last, because it is too soon to say. i think we can be confident that it will last through the worst of the winter months, when things are going to be at their worst, so certainly, through into the spring. worst, so certainly, through into the spring-— the spring. the uptake of the booster has _ the spring. the uptake of the booster has been _ the spring. the uptake of the booster has been changed. i the spring. the uptake of the l booster has been changed. the the spring. the uptake of the - booster has been changed. the sweet spot initially were six months in one week. it has now been changed to

of saiqa who died during a fifth pregnancy, and the tragedy that has befallen that family, but enormously brave of them to share their grief and that story. that particular case tells us what we need to advise pregnant women which is not to defer their vaccination until after pregnancy has ended but to get vaccinated while they are pregnant, because we now recognise that pregnant women are really at substantially higher risk of getting seriously ill, as compared to women of the same age who are not pregnant and of course also that increases the risk of premature delivery, and the risk of premature delivery, and the risks for the child, so pregnant women, wherever you are in your pregnancy, come forward and get vaccinated and protect yourself and your baby, as soon as you can. i5 vaccinated and protect yourself and your baby, as soon as you can. is a reanant your baby, as soon as you can. is a pregnant woman. _ your baby, as soon as you can. is a pregnant woman, and i have been pregnant woman, and i have been pregnant in the past, those initial

few weeks are of concern, and the last few weeks as well. things can always go wrong in a pregnancy. are there any risks that a vaccine would pose to your unborn child? there are no described — pose to your unborn child? there are no described risks _ pose to your unborn child? there are no described risks and _ pose to your unborn child? there are no described risks and very _ pose to your unborn child? there are no described risks and very large - no described risks and very large numbers of pregnant women have now received these vaccines without any report of lost pregnancies or damage or injury to the foetus. obstetricians and women are always very cautious in the early stages of pregnancy, understandably so, but nevertheless, important to come forward and get immunised as soon as you can, and as regards the end of pregnancy, there does come a point at the very end of pregnancy where the benefits become, you have almost left it too late, particularly in terms of protecting the baby, to —— so the sooner the better but so far no evidence at all of any risks of the vaccine, but lots of evidence of

real risk of the infection, so everything you can do to prevent thatis everything you can do to prevent that is really important. professor, could ou that is really important. professor, could you remind _ that is really important. professor, could you remind us _ that is really important. professor, could you remind us of _ that is really important. professor, could you remind us of the - that is really important. professor, could you remind us of the risks i that is really important. professor, could you remind us of the risks of| could you remind us of the risks of not having a vaccine while you are expecting? not having a vaccine while you are “petting?— not having a vaccine while you are exectin? ., ., expecting? those risks are what we witnessed with _ expecting? those risks are what we witnessed with this _ expecting? those risks are what we witnessed with this tragic _ expecting? those risks are what we witnessed with this tragic case - expecting? those risks are what we witnessed with this tragic case in i witnessed with this tragic case in birmingham. women who are pregnant, are much more likely to end up in hospital, much more likely to end up on a ventilator, as she did, to lose the pregnancy, if it is early in the pregnancy, and do lose their life as she tragically did in this case. so, lots of reasons to get vaccinated, to protect your own life if you are a pregnant woman, and the life of your baby. we a pregnant woman, and the life of our bab . ~ , a pregnant woman, and the life of ourbab. , , ., your baby. we saw the side effects and peeple — your baby. we saw the side effects and people discussing _ your baby. we saw the side effects and people discussing them - your baby. we saw the side effects and people discussing them on - your baby. we saw the side effects i and people discussing them on social media when we first started having vaccinations. you get aches and pains. if, as a pregnant woman you get your mrna vaccine, what side effects can you expect was macro

very similar to everyone else, in the sense that you can experience fever, soreness in the arm, and feeling a bit off colour for a day or two after receiving the vaccine, but the rates are no higher nor lower than in pregnant women than other adults, lower than in pregnant women than otheradults, but lower than in pregnant women than other adults, but that is a temporary, transient effect and it wears off very quickly and it doesn't pose any risk to the baby. professor, in terms of restrictions coming back, if the uptake of the booster doesn't increase, do you think there's restrictions are likely to come back? i think there's restrictions are likely to come back?- think there's restrictions are likely to come back? i am not a oli likely to come back? i am not a policy maker— likely to come back? i am not a policy maker in _ likely to come back? i am not a policy maker in terms - likely to come back? i am not a policy maker in terms of- likely to come back? i am not a| policy maker in terms of people being compelled to do things, but i would implore people to make every effort that they can regardless of restrictions to reduce the risk of circulation of this virus at this time. we have all seen from the last experience of the last year and a half that we can massively reduce

saturation of the virus with a small number of simple precautions. wearing masks indoors when you are sharing space with other people, doing lateral flow tests when going into a crowded environment at work or socially, and just generally trying to avoid crowded places. if everybody does that, regardless of any restrictions, this will reduce the circulation of covid but also of other respiratory viruses like influenza, and it will reduce the chances of there being restrictions introduced and problems in the health service going forward. just very quickly _ health service going forward. just very quickly and in terms of paediatrics, can you see booster vaccination is being offered to children below the age of 12? that is auoin to children below the age of 12? that is going to come _ children below the age of 12? twat is going to come through for discussion. at this point in time, unlike north america, we do not have an authorised vaccine for children under 12 but as and when and if that happens we will need to discuss it. i think the decision will be very much influenced by what is going on

at the time in this country with regard to infections in society at large as well as in children and also what we have learned about the safety of the vaccine in children, which we will learn very fast now from the large numbers of children who will be receiving the vaccine in north america. who will be receiving the vaccine in north america-— north america. sorry to interrupt, professor adam _ north america. sorry to interrupt, professor adam finn, _ north america. sorry to interrupt, professor adam finn, as - north america. sorry to interrupt, professor adam finn, as ever, - north america. sorry to interrupt, i professor adam finn, as ever, thank you very much indeed.— and we'll find out how this — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests are parliamentary journalist, tony grew and the journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost. other news now. 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, was "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 by—election 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 the 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 standards 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 a 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. and we can speak to chris now. you would expect that criticism from labour but as borisjohnson in any real danger was macro it labour but as boris johnson in any real danger was macro— labour but as boris johnson in any real danger was macro it depends how ou real danger was macro it depends how you measure — real danger was macro it depends how you measure danger. _ real danger was macro it depends how you measure danger. is _ real danger was macro it depends how you measure danger. is he _ real danger was macro it depends how you measure danger. is he about - real danger was macro it depends how you measure danger. is he about to i you measure danger. is he about to not be premised any longer? clearly not. he has a big majority and plenty of mps who attribute their getting to the comments on him. it was his success in the last general election that got them their seats in the commons, but it is dangerous, in the commons, but it is dangerous, in terms of chipping away at how he

is perceived, and there are some conservative mps who fear that a politician like borisjohnson, who surf our has managed to defy gravity, really, maintain quite healthy poll leads despite being prime ministerfor a healthy poll leads despite being prime minister for a while and having been prime minister throughout the pandemic, that things like this might be the kind of thing that start to chip away at that. and plenty of conservative mps frankly are really irritated that they had to vote for something last week where, in some instances they were uncomfortable doing it but they felt out of loyalty they should and they've also been told that they should only to find out the day after that the government was going to change its mind, therefore they felt like they were humiliated in the end. more broadly for parliament, what has happened in the last few days leaves it, is a fear, as i was trying to get across in the report, that politicians get how they are so often perceived by lots of people, and they feel that what

happened last week burnish is that impression, that they looked like they are venal and self—serving, and that they are detached from the reality is, the employment practices that anybody else might be subjected to if you are accused of the kind of thing that mr patterson was. so that is why i think there is that brought a sense of irritation from mps and i think we will see some of that coming out in the debate in the comments that i mentioned that is happening tomorrow. can comments that i mentioned that is happening tomorrow.— happening tomorrow. can you summarise — happening tomorrow. can you summarise quickly _ happening tomorrow. can you summarise quickly for - happening tomorrow. can you summarise quickly for us - happening tomorrow. can you| summarise quickly for us what lobbying means?— summarise quickly for us what lobbying means? summarise quickly for us what lobb in: means? , ., , lobbying means? good question. this is where people _ lobbying means? good question. this is where people attempt _ lobbying means? good question. this is where people attempt to _ lobbying means? good question. this is where people attempt to persuade | is where people attempt to persuade others to change their mind. in the context of parliament, and why it is not allowed for politicians to do it, is that you are working for a private company and you use your contacts in parliament as an mp to further the interests of that company. that's what the rules deemed mr patterson had done, and hence, all of this row.— hence, all of this row. thank you, chris mason- _

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 have pointed to new commitments to net—zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century, which will see 90% of the world's economy, aiming to be net zero by that time. ending and reversing deforestation, with more than 120 countries signed up. and over 100 countries have agreed to cut their methane emissions by 30% by 2030. let's speak to richard black, senior associate at the energy and climate intelligence unit. thank you very much forjoining us, mr black. halfway through the

summit, are you happy with where we are? it summit, are you happy with where we are? ., , , summit, are you happy with where we are? . , , ., , , summit, are you happy with where we are? , .,, , , ., are? it has been a slightly bizarre one so far — are? it has been a slightly bizarre one so far to _ are? it has been a slightly bizarre one so far to be _ are? it has been a slightly bizarre one so far to be honest. - are? it has been a slightly bizarre one so far to be honest. the - are? it has been a slightly bizarre. one so far to be honest. the actual negotiations, where governments actually get to grips with each other and wrestle with their respective positions were almost out of sight drowned in this barrage of announcements, pledges, like some of the ones you mentioned on forest, methane and coal and so on. this week coming we are going to see the focus turning back to negotiations, particularly tomorrow. the poorest countries on earth, there is most vulnerable to climate change, will be putting forward their demands, their needs, their case, which is notjust their needs, their case, which is not just about cutting their needs, their case, which is notjust about cutting emissions but about protection from the climate impacts they are already feeling, delivery of the financial assistance that they have been promised for 12 years, just to give you an example there is a study floating around showing that some countries, already their gdp is 10-50% showing that some countries, already

their gdp is 10—50% lower than that would otherwise be because of the impacts of climate change, so where is the compensation for that —— 10-15%. last is the compensation for that —— 10—15%. last week was about sugar—coating in a way, lots of attractive looking suites on the table, and next week will be about the pie and mash. {lin table, and next week will be about the pie and mash.— the pie and mash. on climate finance, the pie and mash. on climate finance. 12 — the pie and mash. on climate finance, 12 years, _ the pie and mash. on climate finance, 12 years, without - the pie and mash. on climate finance, 12 years, without the the pie and mash. on climate - finance, 12 years, without the point of the pandemic, do you think the wealthier nations can afford fighting climate change in their home nations and also afford to help poorer nations have fight climate change was macro timer; poorer nations have fight climate change was macro— poorer nations have fight climate change was macro they can't afford not to be honest. _ change was macro they can't afford not to be honest. the _ change was macro they can't afford not to be honest. the economies i change was macro they can't afford | not to be honest. the economies of everyone have taken an impact from climate change. you think of the impact on britain and france having been affected, look at the economies of some of the poorest countries which have had to wrestle with a pandemic for much longer, they have been denied access to vaccines, their credit rating is through the floor because their debt burden has gone up, some of the smaller island

states took five years to recover from the financial crisis 11 years ago, and they are looking at the same kind of slow recovery from this. meanwhile their economies are being impacted by climate change itself, by the impacts. if the western countries don't step forward with this help that they promised, emissions across the world will not be cut, as we will need them to be, as the science says they need to be, therefore the consequences for everyone will be significantly worse. ~ ., everyone will be significantly worse. ., ., , ., worse. we are only getting to the oint worse. we are only getting to the point since _ worse. we are only getting to the point since the _ worse. we are only getting to the point since the paris _ worse. we are only getting to the point since the paris accords - worse. we are only getting to the point since the paris accords that | point since the paris accords that seems to be consensus on the figure of 1.5 celsius. it has taken that long. on the subject of emissions, india, russia, china, extending the date at which they are going to reduce their emissions, do you think they are being more realistic? we need to they are being more realistic? - need to pick apart those different

countries and their circumstances. with india, 2070 is realistic and fair. underthe un with india, 2070 is realistic and fair. under the un climate convention, rich countries are pledged to go first, to go faster, because they have more resources to do it with. so for the uk to get there 20 years ahead of india is entirely fair, and entirely legitimate. russia is a different case. in the case of russia, and the australians, there are questions about the feasibility and sincerity of their plans. on the low carbon transition in western countries, we have shown that it is absolutely feasible in the uk. we have as good a plan as anyone does quite frankly put forward by the committee on climate change, both the costs and benefits. they are as quantified as they can be at this stage. there have been studies showing that even in those so—called hard to decarbonise sectors like steel and aluminium manufacturing, heavy duty

shipping, there are options that are affordable provided, this is the clue, provided governments actually get on with it. clue, provided governments actually get on with it— get on with it. good point to end on, get on with it. good point to end on. thank _ get on with it. good point to end on. thank you. _ get on with it. good point to end on, thank you, richard - get on with it. good point to end on, thank you, richard black, i get on with it. good point to end| on, thank you, richard black, for your time. borisjohnson is among world leaders who have condemned an attack on the iraqi prime minister, mustafa al—kadhimi. the prime minister has called mr kadhimi after he escaped an attack by armed drones on his house in the fortified green zone in baghdad. at least six security guards were wounded. it's not yet known who is responsible and comes after violent unrest over recent election results. translation: my house was the target of a cowardly attack. _ thanks to god, i and those who work with me are in good shape. your heroic security and army forces are working on protecting iraq and its stability. cowardly rockets and cowardly drones do not build countries or futures. we are working on building our

homeland by respecting the state and its institutions and by building a better future for all iraqis. tesla billionaire elon musk should sell about 10% of his shares, that's according to almost 58% of people who voted on his twitter poll asking whether he should off—load the stake. more than 3.5 million people voted in the poll, that mr musk, who is one of the world's richest people, should sell the stock. now it's time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello. sunday has been marked by quite a lot of dry weather across many parts of the british isles. but some very windy weather across the north—eastern quarter. and that came about thanks to the influence of the low pressure and it will take a while before those isobars open up under the influence of this transient ridge of high pressure.

i say transient because it really will not stick
