this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh and these are the latest headlines... the uk economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.3% in august for the first time in two months — raising the risk of a recession this year as households face soaring costs. the pound fell again against the dollar for a short time after the governor of the bank of england warned its emergency support package for financial markets will end on friday. i'm afraid this has to be done for the safety of financial stability. prime minister liz truss will appear at pmqs later — her first time at the dispatch box since last month's mini budget sparked market turmoil. what are your fears around a potential recession — are you a business owner

or a living in a household already struggling financially? we want to hear from you. you can find me on twitter, i'm @annitabbc or use #bbcyourquestions. bbc news has been told that conservative mps are in talks with opposition parties to oppose the government's fracking plans. calls for all women to be invited for a menopause check up when they turn a5, as a report criticises the current support as �*completely inadequate�*. last night the police arrested himm — tributes pour in for the british—born actress, angela lansbury, best known for her role in murder she wrote, who has died in los angeles aged 96.

there are more concerns for the uk economy this morning as official data shows it shrank in august. meanwhile the governor of the bank of england said he won't extend a financial support package beyond this friday. the emergency measures were launched nearly two weeks ago because of the turmoil prompted by the chancellor's mini—budget. official figures released this morning showed the uk economy fell by 0.3% in the three months to august. if it falls again in the next three months — we'll be in a recession. there's also been a warning from the international monetary fund — which now says it's expecting the economy to hardly grow at all next year — just 0.3%. the chancellor has already responded, saying "countries around the world are facing challenges" because of the war in ukraine and that the government has a "comprehensive plan to protect families and businesses from soaring

energy prices" — and a plan to grow the economy. this all comes shortly after comments by the governor of the bank of england — who said the bank would end its support for the markets this friday. the bank of england has been propping up bond markets for the past two weeks — buying government debt to help stabilise pension funds. the pound has fallen — and the interest rates paid by the government have risen as a result — but the financial times is reporting this morning the bank is hinting it may continue its support. our economics editor, faisal islam reports. the problems in uk financial markets are not solved. the bank of england has repeatedly stepped in to help the pensions industry since chancellor kwasi kwarteng's controversial mini budget. but the message from governor andrew bailey to the bbc is that while people and pensioners should be reassured, the support is going to end this weekend.

we are doing everything to preserve financial stability and, you know, you have my assurance on that. i think there is an important task now for the funds to ensure that they are done. tough love for the pensions industry that had hoped for help until the uncertainty over the government's economic plans had been settled. but that will not happen. while actual pensions are safe, there could be an impact in the markets, further pushing up borrowing costs across the economy. that will also ratchet up pressure on the government over its plan. the chancellor has just arrived here too for international monetary fund meetings. the meetings at the imf are mainly for the world's finance ministers and central bank governors to try and sort out the world economy. but the world's top bankers also meet and they're in that building right now. and everybody seems to have questions about what is going on with the british economy. and the answer the chancellor needs to give this week is one

that gives confidence, because there are doubts that they can come up with a plan that is both economically credible and politically viable. governor, i can't tell you how many people over the last 2a hours have told me they're glad that you're in the chair. it's been hard work for the governor. and certainly, here the world's top bankers are using the crisis word in relation to the uk. the chancellor will have to convince his plan will work and quickly. faisal islam, bbc news, at the imf in washington. let's talk to martin weale — a former member of the bank of england's monetary policy committee — and currently a professor of economics at king's college london. thank you very much forjoining us today. i want you to talk to our viewers first of all, because people are trying to make sense of all of this news today, they may be wondering what it means for them. their mortgages, the pensions etc. what would you say? i their mortgages, the pensions etc. what would you say?— their mortgages, the pensions etc. what would you say? i think we have to distinguish — what would you say? i think we have to distinguish mortgages _

what would you say? i think we have to distinguish mortgages from - to distinguish mortgages from pensions. as i understand it, the problem the pensions fund had, the pensions funds have had as they have had cash call on contracts they had taken out to protect themselves, should interest rates have fallen further. that does not affect their ability to pay pensions but does mean they need to cash in the short term, because interest rates have actually risen. in the longer term, higher interest rates make things easierfor pension funds higher interest rates make things easier for pension funds because they reduce the cost of providing future pensions. i think with mortgages, it is a different matter. they are, the increases in interest rates we've been seeing in the market for government debt are likely to feed through to fixed term mortgages and of course they have been feeding through already, mortgage offers have been, mortgage schemes have been withdrawn and replaced by new ones at higher interest rates.— interest rates. that gives our reviewers _ interest rates. that gives our reviewers a _ interest rates. that gives our reviewers a sense _ interest rates. that gives our reviewers a sense of - interest rates. that gives our reviewers a sense of the - interest rates. that gives our - reviewers a sense of the direction of travel on all of this. what do

you think andrew bailey was saying or why, you think andrew bailey was saying orwhy, perhaps, was you think andrew bailey was saying or why, perhaps, was he seeing it in new york when he announced the bank of england would end its support, buying up government debt, this friday? timing wrong for that was that a sign of frustration, perhaps, whom? i that a sign of frustration, perhaps, whom? ~ ., that a sign of frustration, perhaps, whom? ~ . , _, . whom? i think what he is concerned about is that — whom? i think what he is concerned about is that people _ whom? i think what he is concerned about is that people might - whom? i think what he is concerned about is that people might think - whom? i think what he is concerned about is that people might think the government, that the bank of england is essentially monetising government debt, turning long—term securities into money, which is a form of quantitative easing, and that is not the thing you want to be doing when you're trying to bring inflation down. �* , , , , down. and very user friendly terms, a receiver speaking _ down. and very user friendly terms, a receiver speaking as _ down. and very user friendly terms, a receiver speaking as an _ down. and very user friendly terms, | a receiver speaking as an economist, but for the viewer is looking at all of this morning going back to trying to make sense of what's happening in the economy, in very user friendly terms, what do you think andrew bailey was trying to say with that statement, then? i bailey was trying to say with that

statement, then?— statement, then? i think he was robabl statement, then? i think he was probably trying _ statement, then? i think he was probably trying to _ statement, then? i think he was probably trying to say _ statement, then? i think he was probably trying to say we - statement, then? i think he was probably trying to say we mean l probably trying to say we mean business when we are talking about bringing inflation down and we are not going to undertake what we've been doing to bring inflation down. the ball then in the government was not caught, but we heard from the prime minister yesterday she was sticking with her plan, her growth plan, outlined in the mini budget last month. if the government continues on that track, what do you think the economic prospects are over the next say 3—6 months? i heard one analyst earlier on today using a car analogy and he said it was like someone was trying to break and someone else was trying to accelerate all at the same time. i think that's a good way of putting it. the bank of england has been trying to reduce pressure on the labour market, reduce pressure in the goods market to bring the of inflation down and at the same time, the government is adding to demand in the economy by cutting taxes, and

those to offset each other, so essentially for the bank of england to achieve what it wants, it has to put interest rates up more than would have been the case without the mini budget. would have been the case without the mini isorbet-— mini budget. ultimately, do you think the bank— mini budget. ultimately, do you think the bank of _ mini budget. ultimately, do you think the bank of england's - mini budget. ultimately, do you i think the bank of england's support will continue beyond friday? we have heard pension funds for example saying theyjust need some support to get through the next few weeks until the 31st of october when we are expecting to hear more detail from the government on how it's going to pay for its plan. isn't essentially the job of the central bank to offer that sort of support? we have had these mixed messages from the bank of england, there is what andrew bailey said yesterday that he would have thought was extremely clear, they have been reports as you mentioned in the morning financial times that the bank is prepared to continue with support in some form. my guess is what that means is the support will

continue in some form if it is needed, and it will be more closely targeted, but the bank wants to end the scheme it announced just after the scheme it announced just after the mini project. the scheme it announced “ust after the mini pi’oj'ect-h the scheme it announced “ust after the mini project-h the scheme it announced “ust after the mini pi’oj'ect-h the scheme it announced “ust after the mini project. the mini pro'ect. what form do you think an the mini project. what form do you think any continuing _ the mini project. what form do you think any continuing support - the mini project. what form do you think any continuing support might| think any continuing support might take, then? the think any continuing support might take, then?— take, then? the provision of liiuidi take, then? the provision of liquidity to _ take, then? the provision of liquidity to pension - take, then? the provision of liquidity to pension funds . take, then? the provision of. liquidity to pension funds very take, then? the provision of - liquidity to pension funds very much on an ad hoc basis, instead of a general auction for government debt, a reverse auction to put liquidity into the market.— a reverse auction to put liquidity into the market. really good to talk to ou, into the market. really good to talk to you. thank _ into the market. really good to talk to you. thank you — into the market. really good to talk to you, thank you for _ into the market. really good to talk to you, thank you for taking - into the market. really good to talk to you, thank you for taking us - to you, thank you for taking us through all of those questions. former member of the bank of england's monetary policy, and now... the business secretary jacob rees—mogg has defended the government's handling of the economy — saying it had no choice but to act and try to get it growing. the ons recently updated earlier figures in the year to show that the economy had grown rather than shrunk.

so figures on the day they're announced of economic growth or otherwise can't be entirely relied on. they're highly subject to change. but if they can be relied on, then clearly it was right of the chancellor to provide a modest fiscal stimulus to try and ensure that we don't have a shrinking economy. so i think this ties in with what the chancellor's doing and moving away from the highest tax rates in 70 years, moving away from the risk outlined by the governor of the bank of england early in the summer of five quarters of recession. i think he used the word armageddon. but moving away from that is something that the government has to try and work on. we couldn't simply have sat back and allowed economic circumstances to deteriorate. i'm joined by our political correspondentjonathan blake. morning to you. in a few hours we will have the first pmqs since the mini budget and so much has happened since then, hasn't it, with the economy. what are we going to expect

from her, will she be sticking to her guns in terms of what she said in the chancer said in outlined in the mini budget? i’m in the chancer said in outlined in the mini budget?— in the chancer said in outlined in the mini budget? i'm almost certain she will stick— the mini budget? i'm almost certain she will stick to _ the mini budget? i'm almost certain she will stick to your _ the mini budget? i'm almost certain she will stick to your guns _ the mini budget? i'm almost certain she will stick to your guns and - the mini budget? i'm almost certain she will stick to your guns and we i she will stick to your guns and we won't see any change of direction in government policy. the prime ministerfaces government policy. the prime minister faces questions in the house of commons at the dispatch box for only the second time, a session of prime minister because my question since she took office. mps are back at westminster after the break for the party conference season and there will be pressure from the opposition, of course, but pressure from conservative mps as well, i'm sure, orat least pressure from conservative mps as well, i'm sure, or at least attempt to perhaps seek some reassurance from the prime minister about the big question that really hanging over the government at the moment, how exactly it plans to pay for the sweeping tax cuts announced by the chancellor kwasi kwarteng and his mini budget towards the end of last month. any other measures it may be looking at to calm the economic turmoil we have seen since then.

conservative mps had a huge role to play in forcing the u—turn on dropping the plans to cut the top rate of tax, the 45p rate of tax. now the bbc has been told some conservative mps are talking to opposition parties about opposing the government has backed plans on fracking, blocking those plans. could we see potentially another u—turn from the government, rather than risk a vault with a number of its own mps voting against it? i think we are some way from that at the moment but it is clear fracking is an increasingly divisive issue here at westminster, as you say the government has lift the ban on fracking, which is the process of extracting oil and gas from shale rock, but a lot of conservative mps not happy about it going ahead in the constituency, saying local residents and not happy about it, they have concerns about the safety and environmental impact of it, that is why we are seeing some conservative mps in with the labour

party and others in parliament about some kind of a mechanism to try and get the government to backtrack on the lifting of the ban on fracking, and put a stop to or at least a pause on the process altogether. the business secretary who you are hearing from has been asked about this morning and said the government is not going to have a vote on this bit mps have all sorts of ways to bring this to the floor of the house of commons and have a go on that themselves and express their views. expressing the view and having a vote is one thing but unless it is a vote is one thing but unless it is a vote in line or relating to legislation the government is putting forward it would not be binding on ministers to do anything about it. let binding on ministers to do anything about it. , ., _, , about it. let me bring in a couple of our about it. let me bring in a couple of your comments _ about it. let me bring in a couple of your comments on _ about it. let me bring in a couple of your comments on the - about it. let me bring in a couple i of your comments on the economy, very much focused on mortgages. one saying mine will rise from 962 is almost £1500 if the interest rates go almost £1500 if the interest rates 9° up almost £1500 if the interest rates go up to 6%. is there any way of keeping your property if you cannot

afford to pay your home mortgage? with the cost of everything going up it will be incredibly difficult to pay bills on top. another saying the mini budget left our first house buying completely out of our budget, i got an offer at 4.19% and now it is 7.86%, which is beyond our affordability. another saying he plans to buy in canada instead. keep your thoughts coming into us in the economy, whether a persona, an individual, whether you are concerned about mortgages, pensions, etc, let us know your concerns and thoughts on all the economic turmoil that we are reporting on. you can do that we are reporting on. you can do that on twitter and use the bbc your questions hashtag.

leaders of the g—seven countries have said they will provide ukraine with military and financial support for as long as it takes. they made the commitment at an online meeting of their group, where they promised severe consequences should moscow's rhetoric on nuclear weapons become more than just words. the meeting was addressed by president volodymyr zelensky, who called for the g7 to further help kyiv strengthen its air defence systems, following two days of russian missile attacks on ukrainian cities. our correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. bring us up to date with any further missile strikes happening in ukraine. there have been some blasts reported in kherson and zaporizhzhia... zaporizhzhia has been frequently targeted by russian forces and is close to the front line in that part of the country. a residential area was hit but there are no reports of casualties, but again, civilian areas being hit in the city of

zaporizhzhia. earlier this morning we had reports from russian media saying that five explosions were heard in the occupied city of kherson, also in the south of the country. unconfirmed reports suggest the air defence system was activated, we are still waiting to hear more details about what could have happened in kherson, a major city in the south of the country. on the russian occupation. there has been a strong ukrainian resistance against the occupation there in kherson and opposite ukrainians carrying out a counteroffensive in that part of the country, trying to retake territory that is now in russian hands, we had an update from the ukrainian military saying in the last 2a hours five villages have been recaptured, so it seems ukrainians are making progress there and kherson is obviously the main city there, the main prize for the ukrainians as they try to reclaim territory that is now under russian occupation. tell territory that is now under russian occupation-—

territory that is now under russian occu nation. , ., ., ,., ., occupation. tell us more about what ukraine's requirements _ occupation. tell us more about what ukraine's requirements are - occupation. tell us more about what ukraine's requirements are as - occupation. tell us more about what ukraine's requirements are as it - ukraine's requirements are as it heads into the winter and looks to the next phase of the campaign against russia? we've been talking about the g7 meeting, ukraine's defence minister also meeting nato ministers today as well in brussels, so out of all of these meetings, what is ukraine hoping for? i think esterda what is ukraine hoping for? i think yesterday we _ what is ukraine hoping for? i think yesterday we heard _ what is ukraine hoping for? i think yesterday we heard a _ what is ukraine hoping for? i think yesterday we heard a very - what is ukraine hoping for? i think yesterday we heard a very clear. yesterday we heard a very clear message from president zelensky, when he addressed a meeting of g7 leaders, saying ukraine needed more air defence capabilities to protect the country from the threat of russian missiles. this is the message now that it's coming from the ukrainians and this is going to be the main topic of debate went that nato meeting of defence ministers happens later today in brussels. i think ukrainians have been saying it seems the russian strategy is to attack civilian infrastructure, they say this is way

russia is responding to its recent military defeats on the battlefield, by attacking critical infrastructure across the country. energy supplies, that kind of infrastructure, so they say they need this kind of technology, equipment, air defence capabilities to try to protect the country from the threat posed by russian missiles, so we had from president zelensky saying yesterday during the g7 meeting, and i think we can expect something similar to come from the ukrainian defence minister when he addresses that nato summit later today in brussels. the headlines on bbc news... the uk economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.3% in august for the first time in two months — raising the risk of a recession this year as households face soaring costs. the pound fell again against the dollar for a short time after the governor of the bank of england warned its emergency support package for financial markets will end on friday.

prime minister liz truss will appear at pmqs later — her first time at the dispatch box since last month's mini budget sparked market turmoil. a group of mps is calling for all women to get an nhs health check when they turn 45 so that the issue of menopause can be discussed with a gp. a year—long inquiry — which saw many women give evidence about their experiences with hot flushes, brain fog and the effects the symptoms had on their career — found that current support is "completely inadequate". anjana gadgil reports. misunderstood, misdiagnosed and ignored. common complaints from women going through the menopause. it's an issue highlighted by celebrity campaigners who went to parliament injune to tell their stories. a heat that you can never imagine,

like a fire was set at your feet that grew further and further up into your body. your hormones are always fluctuating so you have this yo—yo effect. so, sometimes you think it's gone away, i've got it under control, and then itjust comes back full force. menopause usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55 when periods stop due to lower hormone levels. the months leading up to that are called the perimenopause, where a whole range of symptoms can start, including hot flushes, night sweats and migraines. so, at the moment what i'm classically seeing is that women will be on their knees, so they've got the point where they've sort of put up with symptoms because they don't want to disturb the doctor. i've had some women who genuinely come and seen me and think, "i thought i've got dementia, doctor." women who have recurrent urinary tract infections which actually could be the first signs of the fact they've got genitourinary syndrome of the menopause, or something known as vaginal atrophy, which is so little known about. women will have palpitations, anxiety, panic attack,

mental health symptoms, lack of libido, which can really impact relationships as well. so we don't want women to wait until all those symptoms get really bad before they come to us. for the past year, a group of mps from all parties have heard from menopausal women, doctors and employers to see what can be done to help. today, their recommendations will be presented to the government. they include inviting all women for a menopause checkup at a5, scrapping prescription costs for hrt in england in line with the rest of the uk, and more training for gps. the shortage of hrt also needs to be addressed. the increased demand is down to the pressure groups and the campaign groups and the davina effect and everything else that we've seen. that drives women to go to their gp and to ask for hrt. what the government are not doing is working with the manufacturers to make sure they're producing enough hrt and it's readily available. hence we've seen the shortages.

so i think that will be a continual problem because we are not keeping abreast of what the demand is. other recommendations include better support for women in the workplace. 51% of the population will experience menopause and it's an experience women are increasingly more willing to share. anjana gadgil, bbc news. councils need to act to improve the quality and standard of properties in the private rental sector — that's according to the chair of the housing select committee. it comes after an investigation by the bbc found councils in england are often failing to use their powers to ensure privately rented homes are safe. jim connolly has been to meet some of the people affected. ? this room here, my kitchen's above it, and that is a fire hazard. paul lives in a flat in blackpool that he worries could seriously injure him or even worse.

that scares me. i think that floor could go at any time. in cases like paul's, people should contact their landlord or letting agent. if that doesn't work, they can report it to their local authority who have a legal duty to act. the council came and said, "oh, it's a fire hazard." well, why can't they do something about it? did the council give you any advice? they said "what you want to do, you want to get out of here." blackpool council said they inspected paul's house and sent a schedule of works to his letting agent. as this wasn't acted upon, since we've filmed, they've now issued an improvement notice. the agent, acting on behalf of paul's landlord, disputed concerns over the property being a collapse risk and said the floor remains solid. they said they're now getting quotes to do necessary work. paul's not alone, though. we've seen examples across the country of people's homes that have issues that could seriously injure or even kill them, what are known as category one hazards. councils have a range of powers to protect tenants

in the private rental sector, but our exclusive data from local authorities in england raises serious questions about how often that action is taken. since 2017, more than 130,000 hazards were recorded, and around 25,000 actions. when it comes to prosecuting landlords, well, that happened in less than 1% of cases when hazards were recorded. the chair of an influential group of mps says our findings are very worrying. we need to make tenants more certain they can safely complain and then we need local authorities to go in and really deal with those bad landlords, prosecute to make sure tenants are safe and secure in their homes. kieren, elle and her daughter alexa lee know only too well the consequences of living in a home with a danger. ijust heard a bang, and when i turned around, the fireplace was on the floor. a fireplace in their liverpool home fell on alexa lee, leaving her with life—changing injuries. i instantly knew something was wrong and shouted, "i think she's dead." it was six skull fractures, an orbital eye socket fracture, a fractured wrist. kieran says he told his landlord about the fireplace

but no action was taken. he didn't raise it with his council. i didn't know we could report a private landlord to the council. what would you want to see happen? i want private landlords to listen to how bad it can get. if you've got a dangerous property and things are being complained about, please fix them. the family's former landlord denies being made aware of the issues with the fireplace. the housing charity shelter want the whole private rental sector to be reformed. well over a million private rented homes are not meeting the required standard. and there isn't enough resource to enforce proper standards. so yes, the whole system is a car crash. the government says it's cracking down on the small number of rogue landlords who rent out unsafe accommodation. it says it's giving councils strong powers to require them to make repairs or issue fines. but that will be little comfort for people like paul, trapped in properties they'll never be able to call home. who are you most angry

with in this process then? myself, for moving in here. jim connelly, bbc news, blackpool. one of the last remaining stars of hollywood's golden age — the actress dame angela lansbury — has died at her home in los angeles, at the age of 96. in a career spanning more than eight decades, she was perhaps best known for her role as the tv detective jessica fletcher in the hit series, �*murder she wrote'. robert townsend looks back at her life. suppose the master comes back and asks where you've gone? tell him ijust went for a walk. by yourself? she was 17. it was her first part, playing alongside ingrid bergman, for which she was nominated for an oscar. angela lansbury�*s career couldn't have started any better. in due course, there were starring roles in hollywood and on television. you are to shoot the presidential nominee through the head. in the manchurian candidate,

she played the monstrous mother of a brainwashed son. increasingly, it was character parts like this, which she came to be offered. rallying a nation of television viewers into hysteria to sweep us up into the white house with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy. in her 60s, she reinvented herself as a television actress. above all, as the genteel detective jessica fletcher in murder, she wrote. apparently you haven't heard. last night, the police arrested him for killing hemsley post. she produced the shows as well as starring in them and became, they said, the richest woman in hollywood at the time, with an estimated fortune of $70 million. herfilms for children showed her gift for comedy. oh, bother! i do hate shoddy work. there was bedknobs and broomsticks, and later, nanny mcphee. i smell damp. no, no, at least not noticeably. my mother was a medium before me.

at the age of nearly 90, she was starring in noel coward's blithe spirit in the west end. i had my first trance when i was four and a half, and my first... and was thrilled to be made a dame. it's a lovely thing to be recognised and given that nod of approval by your own country, and i really cherish it. a character actress as comfortable on stage as she was on screen. over many decades, angela lansbury was one of britain's most versatile and successful performers. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. it has been a mild start to the day for many of us away from the

south—east where temperatures and parts were close to freezing. we have a lot of cloud and a weak weather front sinking southwards, eventually clearing scotland and northern ireland are pushing down is a weak feature towards the south—east, preceded by some showers and followed on behind by brighter skies and a few showers in western scotland might catch a few in northern ireland as well. a breezy day to day, temperatures 12—19 . as a weather front dress down towards the south—east, it will weaken for a time before it picks up and we see heavier rain. some showers in the north and west, under clear skies it will be a cooler neck to neck for most in last night, except the south—east where it will be milder. tomorrow rain clears but more coming in across southern counties, the position of this could move further north are indeed south. we have rain moving across northern ireland and scotland, but in between dry and sunny conditions with highs of up to 18.

an interesting result. they take on manchester city in the league this weekend, city booking their place in the knockout stage last night with a draw. it will be interesting when those two meet later. harry kane will be leading the line for tottenham in the champions league against frankfurt, a competition he says he needs to score more goals in. the england captain has also confirmed he will wear a �*onelove�* armband at the world cup in qatar, as part of an anti—discrimination initiative, and in support of the lgbtq community, even if fifa don�*t approve he move. the fa say they�*re determined england will go ahead with the gesture, even if it risk a fifa fine. we�*ve decided that we want to wear it and that�*s kind of our thought process going forward. yeah, look, it will be down to fifa and i�*m sure the fa will be in contact with them. i haven�*t heard anything personally yet. at the moment, we are going to

wear it, so if anything changes, we will cross that bridge when it comes. england are batting first in the second t20 against australia, but they�*ve already lost their captainjos buttler. he was out for 17 in the fourth over to pat cummins — one of the senior bowlers australia have recalled after resting them for the first match of the series. alex hales has also just gone. the latest from canberra is 34—2. and the search is back on once again for a new coach for emma raducanu. she�*s parted company with dimitry tursunov, who was her fourth in 15 months. you wonder who will come next. she is injured at the moment, and will team up with andy murray�*s old fitness coach to iron out the niggles that have forced a lot of recent retirments from tournaments. with a view to ideally having

someone in place by the new year. that�*s all the sport for now. it is back to you. thank you very much. the danish territory of greenland is on the front line of climate change. its ice—cap is the single biggest contributor to global sea level rises. arctic temperatures have risen faster than anywhere else, and what happens to the ice sheet and glaciers will impact the rest of the globe. in the north of greenland, people have lived and thrived in one of the world�*s toughest environments. for local communities, climate change feels close to home — as adrienne murray reports. giant icebergs the size of city blocks tower here. this man has been fishing in these icy waters since he was 14 years old. translation: each season is not — was 14 years old. translation: each season is not how _ was 14 years old. translation: each season is not how he _ was 14 years old. translation: eacn season is not how he delete my was 14 years old. translation: eam season is not how he delete my great use to be. over the years, i�*ve

is struggling to cope with growing amounts of waste. local authorities say every day the city produces at least 7,000 tons of rubbish — most of which ends up in flames. and despite a recent ban on plastic packaging, the problem persists. joice etutu reports from kinshasa. walking around the city of kinshasa, burning piles of garbage are everywhere. in this neighbourhood, people say the problem is getting worse. translation: there's no - organisation in this whole area. some people have made it their dumpsite. the rubbish is causing typhoid, malaria. locals have resorted to burning garbage in order to solve the problem. but this, of course, creates air pollution because of the toxic fumes created by the piles of rubbish. there is everything here from household items to clothing, but there�*s especially

a ton of plastic. in 2021, the congolese government banned the production, import marketing and use of plastic packaging. but the ban did not include plastic bottles, that can take up to 450 years to naturally decompose. translation: it's unbearable. nobody�*s taking responsibility for it. there are no sites in our communities where we can dump our waste. everything we throw out is thrown back into the environment. at present, there is no nationwide waste management system in the drc. recycling initiatives are also few. that�*s why paul has decided to find a solution of his own — making tables, chairs and plant pots out of recycled tyres. because drc has the second largest rainforest in the world, the president of the country has described the nation as a solution country to the climate crisis. but the reality in the capital city is one of widespread pollution. the bbc reached out

to the government for comment, but it hasn�*t received a response. for paul, now is the time to act. translation: i think we've done enough talking. i there needs to be more of an effort to change. waste causes illnesses. taking care of the environment means protecting ourselves and living longer. but despite individual initiatives and growing international pressure, the country still has a long way to go to manage its waste problem. joice etutu, bbc news, kinshasa. let�*s get some of the day�*s other news. memorial services have been held in australia to mark the 20th anniversary of the bali bombings. two bombs tore through bali�*s popular nightspots in the tourist centre in 2002. the 202 victims were from more than 20 countries — including indonesia, britain and new zealand. australia suffered the highest number of deaths — 88 nationals died in the attack. the biden administration has urged

the us supreme court to reject an appeal by the former president donald trump in his legalfight over confiscated classified documents. mr trump has asked the supreme court to intervene, and permit an independent arbiter to review around 100 classified documents that were seized by the fbi at his mar—a—lago residence in august. russia has added the us tech giant meta — which owns facebook and instagram — to a list of terrorist and extremist organisations. the two social media platforms were banned in the country in march for �*russophobia�* after meta said it would allow posts such as �*death to russian invaders�* following the start of the war in ukraine. as strike action continues at oil refineries across france, petrol rationing has been introduced in and around one of the biggest cities, nice. a deal was reached with some staff this week, but members of the cgt union are holding out for a better offer. one of the world�*s largest marine science projects

is beginning to chart the health of australia�*s great barrier reef. it�*s the third year that tourism vessels, dive boats and fishing charters will mobilise to document the impact of climate change and other threats to the world�*s largest coral system. netflix will have its audience numbers measured externally and regularly reported for the first time. that means its ratings can be more directly compared with shows on minstream services, like the bbc or itv. the new move comes a month before the streaming giant releases an ad—supported subcription tier. how significant is this? let�*s speak to tv critic and broadcaster scott bryan, who joins us now. good morning, good to have you with us. really this is all about the advertisers on how much netflix can get from them?— get from them? yes, very much so. they have — get from them? yes, very much so. they have been _ get from them? yes, very much so. they have been saying _ get from them? yes, very much so. they have been saying they - get from them? yes, very much so. they have been saying they are i get from them? yes, very much so. l they have been saying they are going to be launching an app for quite awhile now. of course, it�*s been quite widely reported that netflix

created a bit of a wobble for the industry when they announced they weren�*t having substantial levels of growth. they then lost a few followers, if you subscribers over the summer and it has rebounded a little bit but then they have said in order to get more people to subscribe, they�*re going to be having an app supported tier. by having an app supported tier. by having the viewing date are much more transparently available, will convince advertisers to go and part with their cash, essentially. they need to have an independent body, who provide the ratings for bbc, itv and a whole host of different channels and services, by having them on board. that will help convince the advertisers. but i also think there is something else on this, too. ithink think there is something else on this, too. i think this is also netflix trying to say to the wider industry, treat us on the same level playing field, and i didn�*t netflix have said for a while they have had huge global hits but the issue is

until now they�*ve just been choosing and picking figures that make them look good. so they�*ve been able to show, look, we�*ve had really successful programmes but they�*ve also received quite a lot of scepticism, including from myself, because you are not really able to know how popular the show really are because it doesn�*t show the basics, such as how long are people sticking with the show and whether they actually make it all the way to the end. ii actually make it all the way to the end. , ., , , ., end. if you see viewing figures for brid . e end. if you see viewing figures for bridge ten. _ end. if you see viewing figures for bridge ten, squid _ end. if you see viewing figures for bridge ten, squid games, - end. if you see viewing figures for| bridge ten, squid games, stranger things, it looks impressive but for the other shows it carries and streams, we don�*t really know how well they are doing, do we? ladle well they are doing, do we? we don't. well they are doing, do we? we don't- and _ well they are doing, do we? we don't- and i _ well they are doing, do we? - don't. and i think that is the big don�*t. and i think that is the big obstacle. and i think the way this will work is that we will be able to see every morning all of the journalists or anyone with access to the data will be able to see how well netflix shows have been performing their previous day. how

many people have been watching the latest series of the crown, which is coming outjust next month. so they will be able to go and see that and they will also be able to see how many netflix shows make the top 50, the top 100 most popular programmes of the week. i guess the challenge is netflix has got such a wide amount of content, some of it good, some of it bad, and i think the challenge is essentially trying to work out whether the show is on the bottom of this list will be actually in this data, too. i guess also it will mean that netflix�* failures are a bit more open because of course they have all of the hype, all of they have all of the hype, all of the work going into a big new release and then i�*ll be able to, along with many otherjournalists and other people in the industry, will be able to see straightaway as hasn�*t worked because the viewers haven�*t come forward for it. so haven't come forward for it. so massively interesting for the bbc, itv and others, who are planning their own schedules, planning what they want to invest their money in

in terms of tv drama, other output. yes, very much so. i think the industry is changing far faster than i think only three or four years ago anyone could have ever predicted. i think the challenge so far has been there has been so many different metrics, so many different ways for particular new entrants to show how popular their show is. i think a frustration has been that it�*s incredibly hard to know what other shows that coming through? what other programmes that viewers are really watching? because it doesn�*t matter as much now watching it live on the tv. we�*ve all got different schedules. so i think this change by netflix i think it�*s a really big one because allows a big disrupter of the industry finally being able to be treated on a same level playing field as the others. but it also means that they could be scrutinised as much as the bbc, itv and channel 4 are. i think it shows that netflix, this is netflix saying, we are going to be very much in this for the long haul.—

in this for the long haul. thank you very much- — in this for the long haul. thank you very much. scott _ in this for the long haul. thank you very much. scott bryan. _ from the hapless del boy in �*only fools and horses�* — to the long—suffering granville in �*open all hours�* — sir david jason has brought us some of the best—loved charachters in british television. now, in an exclusive interview with breakfast, he�*s been sharing his reaction to being officially declared a national treasure — by buckingham palace no less. jon kay has been speaking to him. ready... that�*s going to really confuse things. they laugh. yes! how have the last couple of years been, the pandemic and the changes to life? well, for a time there, i was fine. and then a couple... three months ago i went to airshow and caught the dreaded covid. i got it bad.

what happened ? i got out of bed early to make a visit and because all my muscles weren�*t working, i collapsed. my arms wouldn�*t work and my legs wouldn�*t work. so being a very creative and inventive person as what i am, i thought, how will i get from here to the door? so, you know, walruses, when you see a walrus, if you watch david attenborough they walk on land, they crawl on land. but in order to do that, i had to use my head. so now i�*m lying face down on the ground and in order to get the door, the arms really weren�*t working, the legs weren�*t working... sorry about this, but this is what happened. i was using my head to drag me to the door.

so i got to — just as i got to the door, the door opened and i was going to say whacked me on the head. but it wasn�*t, it was my good lady wife. and she managed to help me get back into bed. but later on the next day, i got carpet burns all down my forehead and across the top of my nose. so i think i�*m the only person who had covid and carpet burns at the same time. the same time! bit of improv as a walrus. well, yes. i�*d love to see a video of that. well, thank god she wasn�*t with her phone, because probably that was the first thing she would have done. 2022, you were officially declared a national treasure as part of the jubilee celebrations. oh, yeah. yeah. what was that like? well, listen... it�*s very difficult to take it seriously. isaid to i said to anyone, i�*m a leg and that keeps either side of a television

still working, basically. aha, keeps either side of a television still working, basically.- still working, basically. a living lei end. it must have been special to be part of the jubilee celebrations. now we know that the queen passed awayjust a few months later. to have been part of thosejubilee celebrations of the 70 years of her reign, now, looking back on, it must have been even more special. well, yeah, it really was. but what did happen was that really did surprise me and bring a smile to my face was that you got the great coach coming down. you got all the soldiers and the horses and the pageantry and all the wonderful things and they�*re trotting down and the gold coach and all of this. and then i sort of look up the mall and down there comes a ruddy trotters van and you go, i don�*t believe this. why is the trotters van there?! but it was because it was part of the national identity, if you like,

and it did, it did make me laugh and bring a smile to my face. i�*m just thinking now to the winter 2022, a lot of people going through really tough times, cost of living crisis. i�*m trying to imagine how would the trotters be dealing with this? how would del be reacting to the cost of living crisis? bless him. john sullivan, the creator, the writer, he�*s unfortunately no longer with us. butjohn would have grabbed that by the scruff of its neck and he would have come up with some plans and he would have wrung some real humour out of the situation. but del boy would have come up with a scheme to make a bit of cash, wouldn�*t he? no way. no way, pal, would he have hurt any of our humble people who live and work in this country. but if there was a few quid to be made, yes, of course. out of all those christmas specials

that you�*ve done over the years, the only fools and horses ones, what�*s your favorite? i don�*t know. there�*s so many. i suppose one, because the silliness of the joke was to hull and back. oi! holland, which way to holland? it's over there. cheers, _ holland, which way to holland? it's over there. cheers, powell. - holland, which way to holland? it'sj over there. cheers, powell. albert, it's to the right. _ over there. cheers, powell. albert, it's to the right. holland _ over there. cheers, powell. albert, it's to the right. holland is - over there. cheers, powell. albert, it's to the right. holland is that i it�*s to the right. holland is that way. thank you! rodney, c, if you don�*t know the way, you just have to ask someone, don�*t you? you are out in the middle of the ocean, the oil rig, just to do that

two showers here for is that it will be a breezy day as well, gusty winds out towards the north and west but the highs of 12—19. out towards the north and west but the highs of 12—19 . through this evening and overnight, you can see how there is not much left in this front early on and then it picks up. we see some heavy rain coming in across the south—east. still some showers across northern and western scotland and northern ireland and under clear skies for most, it will be a cooler night than last night, but not so in the south—east, where it will be a milder night than last night. as we move three tomorrow morning, we say goodbye to the rain from the south—east but another clutch of france are coming in from the south—west, drifting eastwards. at the moment it looks like most of the rain will be in the english channel and also along the south coast but this rain could move a little further north, so do keep tuned to the weather forecast if you are interested in this part of it. we also have some rain moving in across northern ireland and scotland. not getting into the far east until later on in the day. in

between these two areas, dry with some sunshine and temperatures 12—18 but gusty winds once again across the north and the west. through thursday night, we say goodbye to the fronts across southern england but then we have low pressure coming in across the north of the country with a weather front, so that means we will see some showers. some of them will be heavy and thundery across scotland and northern ireland and on the mountain tops in scotland, they will also be wintry. also one or two showers in western areas but most will miss them and for most of us it will be dry and there will be a fair bit of sunshine around as well. temperatures nine to about 17 degrees. as we head on into the weekend, with low pressure crossing the north of the country, it means it will be blustery, we are looking at sunshine but also looking at some showers as well.
