good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the health secretary sajid javid is expected to announce in the next hour that all front line nhs staff in england will have to be fully vaccinated against covid—19 by next spring, unless they're medically exempt. it's estimated that between 80 and 100,000 nhs workers in england are currently unvaccinated. health unions say people should be encouraged, rather than forced, to have jabs. there are no plans yet for a similar move for nhs staff in scotland, wales and northern ireland. here's our health correspondent katharine da costa. nhs front line staff are among the

first to be offered covid 19 vaccines nearly a year ago. in vaccines nearly a year ago. in september, bosses at this hospital in southampton told staff those who refused to getjabbed would be redeployed to other roles. now the government is expected to announce that all front line staff in england must have received both doses by spring unless they are exempt. the number one — spring unless they are exempt. tue: number one thing spring unless they are exempt. tte: number one thing we want to do is encourage people voluntarily to take up encourage people voluntarily to take up the vaccine and boosters because we know it is the best line of defence. the way we get to that in different settings, we will look at different settings, we will look at different means to achieve that but fundamentally, it is indisputable, the more people have the vaccine, particularly in those vulnerable settings, the safer we will all be. in the nhs in england more than 90% of staff are fully vaccinated. it is estimated between 80 and 100,000 members of staff have yet to take up the offer. vaccination rates vary across the country. dorset county hospital trust has the highest

uptake with 95%. barts health trust the lowest at just uptake with 95%. barts health trust the lowest atjust under 80%. what the lowest at 'ust under 80%. what is auoin to the lowest atjust under 80%. what is going to make — the lowest atjust under 80%. what is going to make the _ the lowest at just under 80%. “unmet is going to make the difference between that and the fullest possible coverage is understanding the data, understanding why people are not yet vaccinated, whether that is because they are declining or for some other reason. and understanding and having those conversations. health leaders say certain groups such as women planning to have a baby and people within black communities are most hesitant. but with more than 90,000 nhs vacancies in england, many feel getting the tone of the policy right is essential. tt tone of the policy right is essential.— tone of the policy right is essential. .,, , .., essential. if we lose significant numbers of _ essential. if we lose significant numbers of staff _ essential. if we lose significant numbers of staff as _ essential. if we lose significant numbers of staff as a - essential. if we lose significant numbers of staff as a result. essential. if we lose significant numbers of staff as a result of| numbers of staff as a result of mandatory vaccination, that is going to put very, very significant pressure on the nhs so what we say to the government today is absolutely, we see the logic of what you want to do this but please help us manage the risk of losing nhs staff. . ., , ., , ., staff. care home staff in england must have _

i think they will be hoping that people who work in the nhs will feel that they can be persuaded and encouraged. they've had nearly a year to take this up. but there will be the concern and there is the concern among health unions and employers, that this stick of basically saying, no jab, no job, basically saying, no jab, nojob, may be the final straw basically saying, no jab, no job, may be the final straw for basically saying, no jab, nojob, may be the final straw for many staff who have gone through the pandemic. they are exhausted, under a lot of stress. and it might be the final straw for some staff who think they have had enough. fergus, thank you. a ten—year—old boy who was killed by a dog in south wales has been named. jack lis was attacked while on a playdate in a house near caerphilly yesterday afternoon. his mother has paid tribute to her beautiful and sweet son. the dog was put down. gwent police say no other animals were involved, and they are continuing to investigate.

0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan reports. a devastating blow in this close—knit community as a family is shattered, having lost their child to a dog attack. gwent police have now confirmed the name of the boy that died as ten—year—old jack lis. he doesn't live here, he lives nearby, and locals have suggested that he was visiting a friend after school at the property where this shocking attack took place yesterday afternoon. local residents described monday as both tragic and upsetting. when i was out there, i felt really shaky and i was scared. because i seen the body of the... they put the white sheet over him. we heard the gunshots, when they shot the dog. ijust started shaking and i was getting really...scared. the kids, they were screaming, i they were crying, they were just... well, you can imagine.

they were hysterical. absolutely hysterical. neighbours have also suggested that the dog involved was being looked after at the property and had only been at the residence for a day or two. there is still a police presence here today as they try and decipher exactly what led to the death of jack lis. tomos morgan, bbc news, caerphilly. a man who was stuck in a cave in the brecon beacons for more than two days is said to be in good spirits in hospital. about 250 volunteers worked for more than 50 hours to bring the caver out. he was rescued last night and has suffered serious injuries, including a brokenjaw — though he was able to speak to rescue teams throughout. the row about mps' standards shows no sign of dying down this lunchtime, with fresh claims about mps' second jobs. labour says it's a question of leadership for borisjohnson, and are demanding action over

the former attorney general geoffrey cox, who it's emerged has earned hundreds of thousands of pounds from work with an international law firm advising the british virgin islands. downing street says the prime minister doesn't back an outright ban on second jobs, but believes mps should be visible in their constituencies. from westminster, here's our political correspondent nick eardley. another day of difficult headlines for the government. what started as a row over one mp breaking lobbying rules has led to wider questions over whether the government takes standard seriously and whether some mps are spending too much time on second jobs. mps are spending too much time on second jobs-— mps are spending too much time on second “obs. ~ . ., ., ., second “obs. what are you doing? you are not second jobs. what are you doing? you are not children _ second jobs. what are you doing? you are not children in _ second jobs. what are you doing? you are not children in the _ second jobs. what are you doing? you are not children in the playground. - are not children in the playground. you are legislators. sir geoffrey cox was a key player in parliament and the brexit battles. he has since been sacked as a minister but he has not been in the commons much at all.

he has to spend around 1,000 hours in the past year working as a lawyer. and here he is, in the british virgin islands earlier this year. he is advising the government there and according to the daily mail, he spent weeks in the territory as parliament was sitting. someone else cast his vote because of covid 19 restrictions at the time. . , , ., ., , time. ultimately it is one for his voters to decide. _ time. ultimately it is one for his voters to decide. i _ time. ultimately it is one for his voters to decide. i don't - time. ultimately it is one for his| voters to decide. i don't think it's for me to start making or prejudicing or 2nd—guessing the judgments they make. what is crucial is transparency around any outside interests and ultimately the voters will decide at the ballot box as they do and they do so for him and for me. fix. they do and they do so for him and for me. �* , ., ~ , they do and they do so for him and forme. , ., ~, ., , for me. a number of mps have second “obs but for me. a number of mps have second jobs but few— for me. a number of mps have second jobs but few earn _ for me. a number of mps have second jobs but few earn as _ for me. a number of mps have second jobs but few earn as much _ for me. a number of mps have second jobs but few earn as much as - for me. a number of mps have second jobs but few earn as much as sir- jobs but few earn as much as sir geoffrey. the most recent register of interests show he earned hundreds of interests show he earned hundreds of thousands of pounds for his legal work. there is no suggestion that geoffrey cox has broken any rules but his case adds to questions about the balance between mps working in

parliament and any outside jobs. number ten downing street said this afternoon the primary work of mps had to be serving their constituents and they needed to be visible in doing so. some want the government to go further. tt’s doing so. some want the government to go further-— to go further. it's absolutely staggering _ to go further. it's absolutely staggering geoffrey - to go further. it's absolutely staggering geoffrey cox - to go further. it's absolutely staggering geoffrey cox has| to go further. it's absolutely - staggering geoffrey cox has made over £1,000,000 in the last year advising the british virgin islands, advising the british virgin islands, a territory known for its tax avoidance and tax evasion once the vast majority of mps were working harder than we have ever worked, helping serve our constituents through some of the toughest times of their lives. clearly, boris johnson now needs to decide whether it is acceptable for geoffrey cox to serve as a conservative mp and as a caribbean based barrister. tt has caribbean based barrister. it has been a difficult _ caribbean based barrister. it has been a difficult week _ caribbean based barrister. it has been a difficult week for - been a difficult week for parliament. with questions over mps priorities and their outside interests. whether reform is needed. many are still looking for fuller answers. nick eardley, bbc news. belarus has been told by the european commission that it must stop sending migrants

to the border with poland. tension has been escalating in the area — and the commission says there are currently 2,000 people at the border, behind a razorwire fence, hoping to cross and therefore get access to the eu. paul adams reports. a cold, bleak start to another day on the polish border. thousands of migrants, mostly iraqi kurds, spent a freezing night out in the open, waiting for a chance to cross into the eu. but poland is adamant, determined to defend its borders, accusing belarus of orchestrating the whole crisis. the polish prime minister visited the border this morning. he says the security of the eu is at stake and that the president of belarus is using civilians as a weapon. translation: we know| that this is a fully planned operation which aims to disrupt the sovereignty of our country. that is absolutely clear to us.

we know for sure that there is a search for weak spots happening on the border. yesterday, frustration turned to anger. for months, migrants have tried to cross in small groups through the forest. with winter approaching, they're losing hope and becoming desperate. well, there is no legal way for them to cross the border in a space which is not designed for that. it is also risky. and we have had fatalities when people lost their way in the woods, in the rivers, in the swamps, with temperatures which are now in poland already sub—zero temperatures. poland has stepped up security along the border. the eu and nato have both said today already to help. there is talk from brussels of further rounds of sanctions against belarus. minsk says it is not responsible, but critics of the belarussian government say there is little

doubt. actually, the regime is involved in migration smuggling, because there is evidence already that there were state owned tourism agencies in belarus that actually sold these tourism packages to migrants in the middle east to come to belarus and then come to the eu. and so the stand—off continues, civilians trapped in appalling conditions. the un says it is alarmed. the use of refugees to achieve political ends, it says, must stop. paul adams, bbc news. rolls royce has secured funding to develop small nuclear reactors in the uk to generate cleaner energy. more than half the £400 million for the project will come from the government, the rest from private investors, and rolls royce says 40,000 jobs will be created by 2050. but critics say money should be spent on renewable power, not nuclear. our business correspondent theo leggett reports.

a nuclear power plant, quick and cheap to build and capable of powering a million homes. a consortium led by the engineering giant rolls—royce thinks a new generation of so—called small modular reactors like this could help provide the country with reliable and relatively affordable low carbon energy. the reactors would be based on the technology already used in nuclear submarines. nuclear plants don't burn fossil fuels, so they don't produce the greenhouse gases associated with climate change. their power comes from nuclearfission, which generates intense heat, but they also produce potentially very hazardous radioactive wastes. this is something that we can do today to start making an impact today, to create green jobs today that we know will deliver zero carbon electricity. the idea behind modular reactors is that because they are small they could be built to a standard

design in a factory and installed stage by stage. this should allow them to be made relatively cheaply, for about £2 billion each, and they could be built quickly. by comparison, the much bigger and more powerful reactor being built at hinkley point in somerset is expected to cost more than £20 billion. about a fifth of our electricity currently comes from nuclear power. the government thinks a new generation of reactors, both small and large, will be vital to help meet our energy needs in future. the small modular reactors are very much cutting—edge technology, they give us a base load, they give us the ability to have a secure energy supply, and also, critically, something like 40,000 well—paid jobs in this area. but critics say this is the kind of thing the government should really be spending its money on. they claimed the rolls—royce modular reactors will still be far too expensive and that the sums do not

really add up stop money should be spent on renewables, technology that is already here, that is far, far cheaper, far quicker and for easily deployable. to cheaper, far quicker and for easily deployable— deployable. to back up renewables, we have increasing _ deployable. to back up renewables, we have increasing storage, - deployable. to back up renewables, we have increasing storage, we - deployable. to back up renewables, | we have increasing storage, we need to upgrade the grids so we can distribute the energy. for to upgrade the grids so we can distribute the energy.- distribute the energy. for the moment. _ distribute the energy. for the moment. the _ distribute the energy. for the moment, the government - distribute the energy. for the - moment, the government seems committed to nuclear. and with many of the country �*s existing reactors about to be shut down in a few years, the need for new sources of power is becoming ever greater. theo leggett, bbc news. the time is 13:17. our top story this lunchtime: all front line nhs staff in england will have to be fully vaccinated against covid—19 by next spring, unless they're medically exempt. an announcement is due from the government this afternoon. and coming up — a trip to windsor castle for marcus rashford. the england striker picks up his mbe for his campaign against food poverty. coming up on the bbc news channel...

could steven gerrard return to the premier league, this time as manager? with the rangers boss one of the leading candidates to replace dean smith at aston villa. it's nearly three months since the taliban regained control of afghanistan, and evacuation flights out of the country have largely stopped. but with increasing poverty and hunger, thousands of people are still trying to find a way out. the remote town of zaranj, close to the border with both pakistan and iran, is a people smuggling hub. traffickers there have told the bbc their business has more than doubled since the taliban takeover, and that many of the afghans fleeing hope to eventually reach europe. secunder kermani reports. afghans are leaving

in their thousands. smuggled out from this remote corner of the country. headed for the desert through pakistan into iran. no visas, no immigration, just people traffickers who pay a small fee to the taliban. most, desperate men hoping to find work. but there are whole families here too. aren't you worried about going with all these young children? at times, it feels as if the whole of afghanistan is trying to find a way out. in this dusty car park, passengers wait to start a journey that will take more than a week.

the economy is collapsing and few have faith in the new taliban government. at least 4,000 leave here every day, we are told. this is a deeply surreal sight, a huge people smuggling hub, operating completely openly. the taliban said that rising poverty here means it is not possible to stop all these people from trying to leave the country. they say all they can do is control how many people get into these trucks to make the journey a little safer. everyone wants to go to turkey or to europe? why do they want to go? the taliban are making money off this trade. around $10 per truck. but they say the economic crisis and freezing of international

funding makes the flow of people unstoppable. all these people are travelling without visas. it is illegal. zaranj has long been a people smuggling centre. over the previous government, corrupt officials were paid off. now the trade is flourishing. aren't you exploiting these people, exploiting their misery?

at the border with iran, hundreds of afghans are deported back every day. but many more are setting off for the desert. we meet labourers, former soldiers, civil servants. they survived the war but are fleeing its aftermath. secunder kermani, bbc news. the government's chief scientific advisor has warned that climate change is a far bigger, and potentially deadlier, problem than coronavirus. sir patrick vallance says as with the pandemic, tackling global warming needs a combination of science — and people changing their behaviour. he's been speaking at the cop26 conference in glasgow of course coronavirus has been devastating and it's affecting people right the way across the globe but it will settle down and it will go back to being a seasonal disease of some sort, most likely. this is something that is getting

worse over a very long period. and without concerted, long—term action, it will continue to get worse. sir patrick vallance. 0ur science correspondent rebecca morelle is at the conference in glasgow. rebecca, what reaction are you hearing to sir patrick �*s comments? they are really resonating here. walking around the conference you cannot forget that the problems of covid climate change are happening in tandem. today is about science and innovation, as sir patrick vallance said, science can be part of the solution, we have seen that with coronavirus, but it is not the only thing we need. we need big behavioural change, and if we are going to kurt emissions we need to make many changes, he says green

choices need to be the easiest choices need to be the easiest choices and that if we do not take action we will see big problems in future. this has been echoed by any new report today published by the met office which looks at the issue of heat stress, where you get a combination of extreme heat and humidity. the heat warms up your body, you get hot, but if you have humidity or sweat cannot evaporate so you can't cool down, your internal temperatures rise can be deadly. we know it is already affecting 68 million people around the world today but of global temperatures go above four celsius, sorry, two, it will effect a billion people, if they go more it will be a massive swathe of the well�*s population which is why scientists a so important to keep global temperatures down. next i will also riewoldt find out how we are doing without, a new assessment of the climate pledges offered by every country year and the reality of what

these countries are doing, we will see how that is affecting global temperature rise, but the concern is we are not really doing another. rebecca morelle, thank you. the england and manchester united striker marcus rashford has been given his mbe at windsor castle. the award recognised his campaigns to support vulnerable children. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is in windsor. yes, this was to recognise marcus rashford's charity work, his campaigning, because his efforts during the pandemic last year change government policy on free school meals vouchers for children, extending back through the summer holidays was the prime focus of his initial campaign, but he has carried on that charity work, focusing on issues like poverty and homelessness and that the charity work was recognised here at windsor castle this morning as he was presented with his mbe by prince william, the

duke of cambridge, who said he was very pleased to be back giving out honours and awards at his first in the person ceremony since the start of the pandemic. there have been a few people this morning collecting their owners, but marcus rashford said he was particularly proud to pick his and he dedicated it to his mother, melanie, who was here with him. he also said his charity work will continue.— him. he also said his charity work will continue. hopefully everything should be in _ will continue. hopefully everything should be in place _ will continue. hopefully everything should be in place by— will continue. hopefully everything should be in place by the - will continue. hopefully everything should be in place by the time - will continue. hopefully everything should be in place by the time i. should be in place by the time i retire. — should be in place by the time i retire, hopefully i don't have to do it after— retire, hopefully i don't have to do it after i_ retire, hopefully i don't have to do it after i retire, but that is many, many— it after i retire, but that is many, many years— it after i retire, but that is many, many years away. whilst i am still playing. _ many years away. whilst i am still playing. i— many years away. whilst i am still playing, i will still be doing it and hopefully we can find a cause for the _ and hopefully we can find a cause for the problem and eradicate it. you said — for the problem and eradicate it. you said there is more to come? yes. marcus rashford _ you said there is more to come? yes. marcus rashford is _ you said there is more to come? yes. marcus rashford is only _ you said there is more to come? yes. marcus rashford is only 24 but its influence already extends way beyond the football pitch to the palaces and into politics. a very

to save herjewels, smuggling them out with her daughter. she couldn't save herself. tonight, more than two centuries after her death, the bracelets will go to the highest bidder, blue—blooded or commoner. but for how much? pricewise, i don't think you can put a price on history. how much is someone willing to pay for something from the last queen of france? it's a piece of french history that has remained within those families for more than 200 years. and again, that is exceptionally rare to find, and especiallyjewels of such great quality. there's more royaljewellery — a huge sapphire and diamond brooch with matching earrings once owned by grand duchess maria pavlovna, the aunt of russia's last tsar. these jewels were smuggled out of bolshevik st petersburg, hidden in a newspaper. the duchess died in exile in france.

and, finally, there's a rainbow of rare modern diamonds — pink, orange and yellow. but the stars of this week's auctions are undoubtedly the historicjewels, with their message, perhaps, that while diamonds are for ever, those who wear them, however grand, are not. imogen foulkes, bbc news, geneva. before we look at the weather tucked tucked you might remember the hundreds of thousands of ceramic poppies which were displayed at the tower of london in 2014 — to mark the centenary of world war one. millions of people went to see them and — to enjoy them as a work of art, and to take time to reflect. now ahead of armstice day, the poppies have been given a permanent home at the imperial war museum north in manchester. time for a look at the weather.

here's tomasz schafernaker. hello. pretty quiet on the weather front right now, very mild, such a mild night, temperatures in double figures across the south of the country, staying mild for much of the week. in terms of the weather itself there is some variation from region to region across the uk and it is brought in by this school friend sliding across the uk right now, only moving very slowly. fairly chilly atlantic air to the north of a cross government and northern ireland, to the south of the weather front, mild conditions, the temperatures of around 30 degrees evenin temperatures of around 30 degrees even in northern england. weather cloud is thicker in the south is a possibility of spit some spots of rain but the vast majority of us have a right day in store. not much will change over the next 24 hours also, this is very slow moving,

moving along itself towards
