dominic hughes has this report. married for more than 50 years, wendy and tony had seen each other through thick and thin. in september of last year, wendy's husband had a routine chest x—ray. it wasn't until november he was informed there was something abnormal and was eventually told it was terminal lung cancer in january. we assumed, obviously wrongly, that if we hadn't heard anything, everything must be all right. tony died at the end of february, but that long delay in diagnosis and treatment still torments wendy and her children. it seems that it was the big delay at the beginning between when tony had his x—ray and someone then raised concerns about what they saw on that x—ray — that was the thing? yes. and i'm not saying the end result wouldn't have been the same. it would — i know that. i think he perhaps might have had a little bit longer. would the chemo have done any good, if he'd had that sooner? i honestly don't know.

it's not something we're ever going to be able to answer. and we've got to live with that. and my children have got to live with that, which is even harder. the nhs in england says more patients are being diagnosed with cancer at an earlier stage than ever before. that really improves patients' chances of a good outcome. at lewisham hospital in south london, these new, faster scanners are being used to reduce waiting times. the scanners are providing the trust with increased capacity, so we can scan more patients. they are also providing us with a much better image quality and reduced scan times, so we are able to scan an extra 20 patients a week with our new mri scanner that we weren't able to do before and an extra 50 patients a week on the ct scanner that we weren't able to do before. the demand for cancer services is growing. well done, we're all finished. we're going to come in now. in august of this year, more

than a quarter of a million people were checked following an urgent gp referral, the highest number on record. but that all adds pressure to the system. i know that all those in the nhs are working as hard as they possibly can to try and support patients. but what i'm concerned about is that it doesn't look like the targets are being met and the government are looking at changing the targets. so i don't feel optimistic. if things go wrong, the impact can be devastating. at tony's old golf club, his family have planted a tree with his ashes. hiya, love. 0k today? yeah? still got some leaves left. they'll never know for sure if the delay in his diagnosis and treatment contributed to his death. but the worry is that many thousands more are living with the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with cancer. dominic hughes, bbc news. jules fielder is a cancer patient

who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last year in november. the cancer has spread to her pelvis and spine. she explained how the delays have affected her treatment. so far, every scan i have at three months has put me at stable because i'm incurable. however, i'm facing the fact that now my ct scan was due last week, my three—monthly scan, and i've got no idea when i'm going to receive that scan. i've just been informed there's a backlog. if i know, obviously, they've faced a shortage of staff. my lifeline's been taken away from me, and i only can talk on behalf of myself and many others in the cancer community who are going to be facing the same as what i am. we shouldn't be in this position where you're taking that lifeline away from a cancer patient. i've already been failed in the system by not being picked up during the covid pandemic, to now know that i don't know when i'm going to be told if i've got another three months to live.

joining us now is naser turabi, director of evidence and implementation from cancer research uk. it is desperate to hear of any delay, because it is so stressful, mentally, to have a delay to your treatment. i'mjust mentally, to have a delay to your treatment. i'm just interested if the stories we are hearing tally with what you know at your charity, and cancer research uk. absolutely, at cancer research _ and cancer research uk. absolutely, at cancer research uk _ and cancer research uk. absolutely, at cancer research uk we _ and cancer research uk. absolutely, at cancer research uk we are - and cancer research uk. absolutely, at cancer research uk we are very i at cancer research uk we are very worried about cancer waiting times. the nhs is not coping with the demand. in september, which is where we got the latest figures, 6000 people waited longer than institute is to start cancer treatment, so the target is 85% treated within 62 days, we are down at 65%. —— 60%. as

of the highest on record. it masked to certain cancers. the case that you just show it was one of lung cancer, and that was down at 50%, and that is a very fast cancer. bowel cancer is the worst on record in september, it is down below 40%. this is mostly diagnostic delays, so talked about reporting. you might actually have the scan, but you're still waiting for a radiologist or a similar clinician's report, so it fundamentally comes down to workforce. at the root of it, we all know that cancer is a progressive disease, but for each four week delay, the best evidence suggests there is a vector 60% increase in your —— 6% increase on your chance of dying. ii your -- 696 increase on your chance of d inc. , ., your -- 696 increase on your chance ofd inc. ., ., , .,

and steven craig served more than 15 years in prison after being convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent. then last year he was charged with her murder — following ms kirk's death in 2019. looked down and when i looked down, ijust...i just went up. jacqueline kirk spoke to the bbc 20 years ago about her horrific attack. badly burned, she spent nine months in hospitalfollowing the incident. she needed a tube in her windpipe to breathe, and it affected her speech. people are shocked. and that's what they see, is that, then they don't see me. jacqueline kirk's ex—partner, steven craig, poured petrol over her in 1998. he set her on fire in this car park in weston—super—mare. he is said to have been inspired by a scene in the film reservoir dogs. today, more than 20 years after that attack, craig was sentenced for murder. there is no doubt that

you planned and intended to engage in a gratuitous, deliberate and monstrous attack onjackie during that road trip with whatever means at your disposal and to intimidate her psychologically to cause maximum physical and mental pain over a period of days. her daughter says, despite her injuries, she remained resilient and determined to live a full life. she was a fighter. she always kind of beat the odds. she was very, very stubborn. most people would describe herl as stubborn, and that's normally seen as a negative thing, but for her it was a - very positive thing. jacqueline kirk, who you were convicted for... yeah. ...gbh. craig was convicted for gbh for the attack in 2000 and released from prison on licence three years ago. today's ruling means he'll now serve an additional 15 years for murder. she died from her injuries. yes. which now makes me responsible for murder? that's right, yeah. during the trial, the court heard

conflicting medical evidence, but the jury agreed with experts, like her consultant, tim cook, who said that injuries to her airway and torso were partly responsible for her diaphragm rupturing and that doctors felt that her condition was too high—risk to operate. this is jacqueline kirk before the attack. her family say although she died decades later because of her injuries, she herself was not defeated by the crime. they remember her as a strong willed, rebellious and witty. jenny kumah, bbc news. the senior investigating officer in the case, spoke outside court after the sentencing. good afternoon, everyone. my name's mark almond, and a detective chief inspector from the major crime team in avon and somerset police. ijust have a short statement i'd like to read on behalf ofjackie and herfamily and the police. it's difficult to put into words

the impact stephen craig's actions have had on both jacqueline and herfamily. while i never metjackie, from what her children tell me, she was truly a remarkable woman. she overcame numerous challenges with an incredible determination and fought with great dignity to rediscover the life that she had before she was attacked. i expect that her resilience was one of the reasons why she surprised doctors and survived for a further 21 years, during which time she saw her children grow up, get married and have children of their own. stephen craig was undoubtedly responsible forjackie's death and like all murderers deserves to be severely punished. and once again, i would like to thankjackie's family for their support and praise them for the courage they've shown, notjust during the course of this investigation and court case but for the last 24 years. ijust hope that they can move on to the next chapter of their lives knowing thatjustice

has been done. the senior investigating officer in that case talking outside court after the sentencing this morning. it's the last day of hearings at the grenfell public inquiry. the inquiry has been looking into the circumstances leading up to, and surrounding, the devastating fire that killed 72 people in a block of flats in west london on the night of 14june 2017. tom symonds, our home affairs correspondent, joins us now. he has been following so much of this very lengthy inquest. in terms of today, first of all, i know there have been some very strong word said about a lot of the companies and organisations involved. explain what has been said. that organisations involved. explain what has been said-— has been said. at the start of this -hase has been said. at the start of this hase of has been said. at the start of this phase of the _ has been said. at the start of this phase of the inquiry, _ has been said. at the start of this phase of the inquiry, which - has been said. at the start of this phase of the inquiry, which is - phase of the inquiry, which is looking at why the fire here happened, the lead counsel, the most senior barrister to the inquiry,

said that he had looked at the early statements given by the companies involved in the refurbishment of the grenfell tower, and he said they were engaging in a merry—go—round of buckpassing. now, two years and ten months on, he says the merry—go—round turned still. the notes of its melody are clearly audible. what he meant was that the companies involved were still blaming each other, for what happened, to avoid what he called legal responsibility. he showed on the screen a very complicated web of blame. all the arrows of four companies pointing to other companies pointing to other companies saying, we are not to blame, they are to blame. he said the inquiry could take the view that this was caused by a terrible accident, he said. something that was an unfortunate incident, the sort of thing that happened occasionally. i suspect that is not what the inquiry is going to decide.

he then went to set out some of the evidence against some of those companies. we are in for a long haul still, even after all this time, because the report into this inquiry is unlikely to be published for another year.— is unlikely to be published for another ear. ., ., , ., another year. gosh, another year. those companies _ another year. gosh, another year. those companies thus _ another year. gosh, another year. those companies thus far, - another year. gosh, another year. those companies thus far, have i another year. gosh, another year. i those companies thus far, have they said anything, have they reacted to those comments? thea;r said anything, have they reacted to those comments?— said anything, have they reacted to those comments? they have actually been aaivin those comments? they have actually been giving their— those comments? they have actually been giving their final _ those comments? they have actually been giving their final submissions i been giving their final submissions to the inquiry for the whole of this week. for example, the company that manufactured the raw cladding that was put on the side of grenfell tower in its 2016 refurbishment. that company said, let me just explain, it was accused of being aware that the cladding was going to be used on grenfell tower, and being aware that it had fire safety tests from long before the fire that suggested it might be a fire risk. its response has always been that it makes the raw materials, for the

designers and architects to decide how they are used. there was criticism in the inquiry of two other companies which made the insulation that went underneath the cladding panels. they, too, have always said that their products could be used, and it was down to the people designing the refurbishment to work out how that could be done safely. the government has admitted many failures in the regulation of the building industry, and the royal borough of kensington and the royal borough of kensington and chelsea has admitted a series of failings, especially signing off this building is safe once the refurbishment was finished. 0f refurbishment was finished. of course, those companies will have to wait to see what was described as todayis wait to see what was described as today is the gravity of the blame will eventually lie when this report is published. will eventually lie when this report is published-— will eventually lie when this report is published. will eventually lie when this report is ublished. ., ,, , ., , . ., is published. thank you very much, a correspondent _ is published. thank you very much, a correspondent who _ is published. thank you very much, a correspondent who has _ is published. thank you very much, a correspondent who has been - is published. thank you very much, a| correspondent who has been following the grenfell inquiry.

president zelensky has said ukraine is moving very carefully, following russia's announcement that it is withdrawing its troops from the southern city of kherson. russia's pull—out comes just six weeks after president putin declared that he was annexing the highly prized regional capital city, along with three other areas. 0ur international editor, jeremy bowen, is in 0desa and explained what this latest move by russia could mean for the wider conflict... well, it means that the war isn't over. in a strange kind of way, while this is a serious defeat for the russians, having to pull back, because the plan was originally that once they got to kherson, they could push further down the black sea coast and perhaps even threaten this city, 0desa, the one that i'm in, and therefore control most of ukraine's access to the sea. now, that hasn't happened. but the defeat is something they've now effectively accepted publicly. but pulling back on the other side of the dnipro river,

which is a very considerable body of water, to prepared positions, might turn out to be one of the more sensible, from the russian point of view, military decisions that they've made since the invasion. because i've been to the front line area where the russians are at the moment, which is outside kherson city itself, on miles and miles and miles of absolutely flat farmland, and there are no natural defensible positions there. but a few miles away, on the other side of the dnipro river, in built bunkers, which they have been constructing out of concrete and where they have supposedly some of their best forces, they're going to be a much more difficult proposition for the ukrainians, because if the ukrainians ever decided they would try to mount some kind of assault over the river, that would be a very tough military undertaking.

0ur correspondent james waterhouse is in the capital kyiv... james, this is a significant day and a significant moment, but of course a significant moment, but of course a long way to go. what is your assessment and reading of what has been going on here? i assessment and reading of what has been going on here?— been going on here? i think that is riaht, i been going on here? i think that is right. i think _ been going on here? i think that is right. i think it _ been going on here? i think that is right, i think it is _ been going on here? i think that is right, i think it is significant. - been going on here? i think that is right, i think it is significant. we . right, i think it is significant. we are now starting to see the images moving images of ukrainian forces moving images of ukrainian forces moving into newly liberated villages. many people will remember the last time ukraine retook swathes of territory like they appear to be doing now was during september in the north—east in the heart give region —— the kharkiv region. they say it is now almost completely back under ukrainian control. there are

signs of movement on the ukrainian side, it is still less clear if, how it, orwhen side, it is still less clear if, how it, or when the russians will retreat from the city of kherson itself, as they say it will. we have just had a senior government official in kyiv saying the russians are prepared to leave a city of hell by mining everything they can. this has been an accusation aimed at invading forces for as long as they can, when they try to implement a scorched earth policy, saying, if we can't have kherson, nobody can. it is still a murky picture, especially around kherson, but on the ukrainian side, they are crucially taking territory once more. with; side, they are crucially taking territory once more. why should the ukrainian authorities _ territory once more. why should the ukrainian authorities necessarily - ukrainian authorities necessarily believe what moscow says is going to happen? believe what moscow says is going to ha en? ~' ., ., ., , believe what moscow says is going to hauen? ~ ., ., ., , ., believe what moscow says is going to ha en? ~' ., ., ., , ., ., happen? ukrainian military are not bu in: at happen? ukrainian military are not buying at all- _

hugely significant, because we will not see these territorial gains beyond december because of the winter conditions that typically arrive. for ukraine, there is no better chance for president zelensky to say to the west, keep your western support coming, because we have just made the sizeable game. thank you so much, the very latest in ukraine's capital from thank you so much, the very latest in ukraine's capitalfrom our correspondent. we are, of course very much keeping an eye on that. to iran, and seven weeks into anti—government protests, and a startling intervention from one of the country's top actresses. taraneh alidoosti has posted an image of herself without a headscarf, in solidarity with those protests. this is what she posted on instagram, with the words, woman, life, freedom. demonstrations have swept the country since the death of mahsa ameni, who'd been arrested by so called morality police.

she died at the age ofjust 22. let's discuss the situation in iran. we can talk to a journalist from bbc persia. forgive me, i do not know her, but how significant is it that a high—profile actress does this. just give us a flavour of how well—known she is in iran? she just give us a flavour of how well-known she is in iran? she is ve well well-known she is in iran? she is very well known, _ well-known she is in iran? she is very well known, she _ well-known she is in iran? she is very well known, she is - well-known she is in iran? she is very well known, she is one - well-known she is in iran? she is very well known, she is one of. well-known she is in iran? she is| very well known, she is one of the most prominent actors inside iran. she has played in an oscar—winning movie, she had a role in an oscar—winning movie by a renowned iranian director which won an oscar for best foreign language movie in 2017. she was the star of the iranian film that was on screen in the cans film festival. she grew up

on the silver screen, so she is very famous, and for her to come out and do such an act of defiance is very important, and has created a wave of similar acts by other female actors inside iran, and just recently an hour ago i found out another very prominent film—maker and director also took off her hijab and posted a post on social media saying, just because i am a human, this is my right to choose and i am taking off my hijab. right to choose and i am taking off m hi'ab. . , right to choose and i am taking off m hi'ab. ., , ,., , my hijab. that is so interesting, there has been _ my hijab. that is so interesting, there has been a _ my hijab. that is so interesting, there has been a domino - my hijab. that is so interesting, | there has been a domino effect, my hijab. that is so interesting, i there has been a domino effect, as we would say. we have witnessed, and we would say. we have witnessed, and we have been talking for so many weeks about the extraordinary bravery of those people who have been out on the streets. it is at

some cost, though, because we know about the arrests and probably worse. just summarise, if you can, where we are. to what extent there is still the anger and protests in different parts of the country, just says that if you can. this different parts of the country, 'ust says that if you cami says that if you can. as you mention. — says that if you can. as you mention, we _ says that if you can. as you mention, we are _ says that if you can. as you mention, we are entering l says that if you can. as you l mention, we are entering the says that if you can. as you - mention, we are entering the eight week of the protests, and so far 330 people have been killed, that is only the number that has been confirmed, it is properly quite a bit higher. recently the authorities have posted a signal of intent of intensifying the crackdown on the protesters i also putting some of the protesters on kangaroo trials and a accusing them of waging war on god which is punishable by death. so far, we have had 227 members of the

parliament of iran coming out and asking for these protesters to be executed. what we are seeing is that they are trying to sow the seeds of fear in protesters, and that is why women mac's act is so important at such a time. this is exactly the time where the state is trying to push the protesters back with these harsh sentencing is, and trials, and more killings, so for her to come out, everyone is... irate more killings, so for her to come out, everyone is...— more killings, so for her to come out, everyone is... we will continue to talk as we _ out, everyone is... we will continue to talk as we follow _ out, everyone is... we will continue to talk as we follow this. _ out, everyone is... we will continue to talk as we follow this. a - to talk as we follow this. a journalist from bbc persia talking about an actress who posted an image of herself without the hijab and others who are following suit, we are very much keeping an eye on that. the time is edging up to

5:30pm, it is a very busy hour. we were in ukraine still awhile ago talking to our correspondent and claims by moscow that there will be a pulling back from that key area of kherson. we are reflecting on what that means, whether this is really a pivotal moment, perhaps a significant moment inside ukraine. let's talk to a ukrainian journalist. i am joined let's talk to a ukrainian journalist. iam joined now let's talk to a ukrainian journalist. i am joined now from western ukraine. thank you so much for being with us. i believe you used to live in kherson, just explain that for us and what you think, therefore, about what moscow is saying. now i am currently in the western parts of ukraine stop now we are

are a of problems with internet connection. they also after russian left the city there are lots of problems with prices of food and medicine. because of the logistics from left bank to the right bank of the area is difficult. so in some difficult situation for now. so perhaps the liberation of the city wouldn't be so easy. because it's so close left in the right bank of the river the russian troops who

crime. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, i holly. i genius a very busy day lots to get through but 11 days to go onto the england kick—off there broke up campaign today garrett cup campaign garaeth southgate has confirmed the 26—man group tha group tha today garrett will be travelling to qatar. much of the team is tried and tested.. but probalty the most eye catching names on that list are james maddison and callum wilson. we're joined now by our football reporter alex howell. alex, a great opportunity for maddison alex answer into southgate sot 02 so alex how do you rate england' chances at the tournament ? it is holly it is a massive opportunity and one he has beaten within four for opportunity and one he has beaten within fourfor a long opportunity and one he has beaten within four for a long time. opportunity and one he has beaten within fourfor a long time. he opportunity and one he has beaten within four for a long time.- within four for a long time. he was the biggest — within four for a long time. he was the biggest talking _ within four for a long time. he was the biggest talking point _ within four for a long time. he was the biggest talking point heading l the biggest talking point heading into the squad announcing whether or not he would be in or not. his form has been excellent for lester dragon

him up the are merely table after they had a poor start. he had ten gold involvements in the summer league so far. whether he had an assist or help the team score a goal. it's actually nearly three years to today since he was last the england squad and it's an area of the page where it england have a lots of attacking depth. raheem sterling, marcus rushford, bo kia sacca and jack really should. but he is in great form in a 26 man squad but it allows garrett squad southgate to pick a squad for people that may not have been allowed. and he talks about why this is the time it's too includejames madison in the squad. he is playing really well. he's a good player. we have always said he is a good player. he has earned the right, we think he can give us something slightly different to the other attacking players that we have got. but i think he is playing as well as any of the attacking players

in this country and he is a little bit different to the others. we have got different types of threat and i think we could need that. medicine one of 26 players in the squad when we take a look at this lips how confident you think england fans will be right now heading into this tournament? melt fans will be right now heading into this tournament?— fans will be right now heading into this tournament? well if you look at the last two — this tournament? well if you look at the last two tournaments _ this tournament? well if you look at the last two tournaments without i this tournament? well if you look at l the last two tournaments without the semi in russia in 2018 and the final in euro 2020. the team is on an absurd trajectory. but this is the first time they have a real bump in the road. it's quite easy to forget that a team is headed into the work up. six games without a win. it is the first time gareth southgate and his players have come under pressure. and he is actually spoken about that. but england has a good group they have a lot of talent in attacking areas. gareth southgate

will feel that with the experience they have from previous campaigns they have from previous campaigns they are set to go into the latter part of the tournament in qatar. alex opened for the moment thank you. england are through to the final of the t20 world cup.. after an emphatic ten wicket victory over india... a masterclass from alex hales with the bat saw him hit 86 from 47 balls, including seven sixes. alongside captainjos buttler they chased down 169 without the loss of a wicket. romping home with a massive 24 balls to spare to set up a final wales are through to the wheelchair semi—finals of the rugby league world cup. they beat scotland 70 points to 36 in a strong performance to finish runners—up in group b behind world champions france, scotland finish bottom of group b after three defeats, while wales go on to

face england on sunday. plenty more on the bbc sport website including live coverage of great britain's latest tie against spain in the billiejean king cup. gb must win all three of their matches if they're to progress to the semi—finals. heather watson is in action first. you can watch that at bbc.co.uk/sport and the iplayer and there will be a full round—up on sparsely at half past six. as holly was to newness the england squad has been announced for qatar. someone in the newsroom has a really active sense of humour. they decided

and should do an interview about the england squad and i'm not making up. get the popcorn in and we're going to talk with someone who mercifully knows and awfully late not more about men's full bar than i do. of course topline relief i want to know what you think of the squad. is it the worse cup when in squad? i try my best to explain jane. it the worse cup when in squad? i try my best to explainjane. i think england a very good attacking threat. we've seen them make the semifinal of the workup and then the final of last euros. they have that experience. alyssa people are very pleased to see james madison in the squad. there is a lot of doubt as to what is there he would make this cut. but he has been in fantastic

form. and obviously got harry kane in there as well. marcus rashford is backin in there as well. marcus rashford is back in and playing very well for manchester united at the moment. the concern is perhaps in the defence and whether we've got the depth and strength there probably a few pairs of to form but these group of players have got the experience and influence and hopefully they can go one step better this time. mas one step better this time. was interesting _ one step better this time. was interesting you _ one step better this time. was interesting you say _ one step better this time. was interesting you say that word experience and there's is one pair with very little.— with very little. which play were ou with very little. which play were you referring — with very little. which play were you referring to? _ with very little. which play were you referring to? someone - with very little. which play were you referring to? someone said| with very little. which play were i you referring to? someone said to with very little. which play were - you referring to? someone said to me someone's and _ you referring to? someone said to me someone's and called _ you referring to? someone said to me someone's and called up _ you referring to? someone said to me someone's and called up was - you referring to? someone said to me someone's and called up was on - someone's and called up was on played an hour for england? i assume that may be callum wilson. _

played an hour for england? i assume that may be callum wilson. i'm - played an hour for england? i assume that may be callum wilson. i'm not i that may be callum wilson. i'm not sure in the exact amount of minutes players have played but there are number of players who haven't played many games are don't have many caps that are in them. conor gallagher is a very young player. as you mentioned before that 26 man squad allows gareth southgate to pick players who meant not the many minutes but it would be a great experience. and connor gallagher is one of those players who may gain from being in squad but we won't see you on the period that much. callum wilson has been in great form for newcastle united and will probably be the deputy to harry kane should he get injured which hopefully doesn't happen. 0bviously we've got calvin phillips who hasn't paid much football this season but he did go to the europe's and paid very well there. he's kind of not got much fitness or many minutes in the tank as they say the season. i don't know

whether that is what you referring to as well. he's probably less than an hour of football this season. but he made the cut and is a player that obviously gareth southgate trust from the last euros. find obviously gareth southgate trust from the last euros.— obviously gareth southgate trust from the last euros. and what do you make of the — from the last euros. and what do you make of the tournament _ from the last euros. and what do you make of the tournament overall? - from the last euros. and what do you | make of the tournament overall? and it's not so far off now but so many controversies. interesting that statements the other day from one of the governing bodies to think about the governing bodies to think about the football and not about the controversy around qatar and human rights and lgbt rights. do you think once a tournament actually gets under way that any of the massive concerns or the full pause there've been, all the problems we know around qatar. do you think any of that will dissipate and the focus will be on the tournament? it�*s that will dissipate and the focus will be on the tournament? it's hard to know. will be on the tournament? it's hard to know- we — will be on the tournament? it's hard to know. we had _ will be on the tournament? it's hard to know. we had a _ will be on the tournament? it's hard to know. we had a not _ will be on the tournament? it's hard to know. we had a not to _

really good to talk to you thank you very much catherine. and thank you for bearing with me. catherine betty who is a football correspondent for for male sport talking about the workup which kicks off in qatar later this month. and i do hope we do very well even if i don't everyone's names doesn't mean i don't want everyone to do well. it is 30 minutes before six that's similar to a story the second half of a story that we were bringing you yesterday. some farmers have turned to using private security firms because they say police aren't tackling rural crime. suspects are more likely to be crammed in brute urban areas in rural areas. they say

i've read this before. a celebrity being notjust open about going through ivf and infertility but about going through it and it's not working stop that is not a narrative that we hear. particularly when i went through firstly failed cycles of ivf in 2019 and then the next year being told that biological kids is not going to happen, i became very aware of the lack of notjust role models but feeling like anybody had gone through that. and realising that whilst support is arguably improved significantly, as you and your work no thanks to your brilliant work for people going through infertility, there is still this huge gap for people that can go through several years of daily heartbreak. certainly monthly heartbreak. and then, at the end,

being like, what now? now let's turn to another major story you meant being aware of today. the foodbank charity, the trussell trust says an extra 320,000 people have started using its services in the past six months. the trust has handed out 1.3 million emergency food parcels since april. let's get more on this story with garry lemon, director of strategic engagement at the trussell trust gary that is a stark figure. i know there's some features are arranged as well. explain the figures but also what you're learning about the sort of people coming to you. i'm referring to a lot of people are in work coming to you. it�*s referring to a lot of people are in work coming to you. it's uncharted terror for referrals _ work coming to you. it's uncharted terror for referrals sup _ work coming to you. it's uncharted terror for referrals sup we - work coming to you. it's uncharted terror for referrals sup we have i terror for referrals sup we have been this busy. what it means is

that the food banks are actually struggling to keep enough food on the shelves to serve those people. as you rightly said sup there's been a big increase in new people that hadn't needed the services in the past. about the fifth of the people referred to us are in household doing work. but the majority of people are with illnesses or disabilities for whom it can be hard to work more hours or who can't work at all for reasonable reasons. those are people who were laid on our social security system to put food on table and what we're seeing is that inflation is rising really soaring. and people on the lowest incomes it hits us all. but but for those groups of people it's an absolute disaster. we really are in uncharted territory. it�*s absolute disaster. we really are in

uncharted territory.— absolute disaster. we really are in uncharted territory. it's the autumn state and next _ uncharted territory. it's the autumn state and next week _ uncharted territory. it's the autumn state and next week of _ uncharted territory. it's the autumn state and next week of course. - uncharted territory. it's the autumn l state and next week of course. what would the trust like to hear in terms of any assistance any ideas that might help organisations like yours. that might help organisations like ours. ., ., ., , yours. the one glimmer of hope in our 66 come _ yours. the one glimmer of hope in our 66 come in _ yours. the one glimmer of hope in our 66 come in july. _ yours. the one glimmer of hope in our 66 come in july. when - yours. the one glimmer of hope in our 66 come in july. when we - yours. the one glimmer of hope in our 66 come in july. when we saw| yours. the one glimmer of hope in | our 66 come in july. when we saw a our 66 come injuly. when we saw a dip in need. that's because an emergency payment was given out to everyone who is eligible for benefits. what that shows is getting money into the pockets of people them out of food banks. they can afford in sensualist and it's really important to understand this isn't just an issue of food. there is no shortage of food in the uk. it's about money and people can afford all the exemptions eating etc. step one we must of great benefits in nine with inflation. that's a bare minimum. we need government to be more strategic and look ahead. look past emergency interventions and

make sure our benefit system can withstand shortages like this and people can put food on a table for themselves and their family. geri; themselves and their family. gary themselves and their family. gary them and thank _ themselves and their family. gary them and thank you _ themselves and their family. gary them and thank you very much for now. full coverage of the autumn statement here next week. we will was sick right i look at the weather. nightfall here for for the watcher we had a gloomy day and will keep through the night. that will help it's stay exceptionally mild. temperatures won't fall very far. thanks to this huge stripe of cloud that extends all the way from the atlantic towards our shores was a pipeline of moisture will keep the rain going into northwest button. ahead of that this warm air from the south for this point in the air. i

spoke about the rain here it is on our radar. that rain has become very persistent particularly over high grain is set to continue. as we go through the evening of the slopes in western scotland through tonight until tomorrow up to hundred villages of brain. and have a look at the temperatures these are the temperatures we might normally expect through a november night. to forevermore six for cardiff. these are the temperatures we expect tonight of them at 13 degrees cardiff at 14 degrees. really extraordinary at this time of year is not meaning i'll start tomorrow when you wake up without odd cloud. more widespread rent again in northern ireland and that rain continuing in the northwest of scotland very windy again stop

particularly gusty in southeast scotland. northeast got with some shelter from that one could see highs up to 19 degrees. the week can weather splits up saturday could start with fog patches in the south because the wind would not be strong at this stage. sunshine as the day wears on this rain become and confined to the far northwest of scotland. still mild, 14 to 18 degrees, in fact feeling quite warm if you get some sunshine and light winds. sunday again some spells of sunshine and most parts of the uk will be drive. i wind bring in some warm conditions, certainly very mild condition. i weatherfront warm conditions, certainly very mild condition. i weather front does threaten to introduce some raid into northern ireland on sunday. for thanks it turned less wild that will happen next week will

at six, a sharp rise in the number of people facing long waits for cancer care. the number of people waiting more than two months for chemotherapy or surgery has doubled since 2018. the delay in him being diagnosed meant that he possibly could have been given some kind of chemotherapy which would have given us some more time with him. we will be looking at the record waits across the nhs. also on the programme: the russian retreat from kherson — the guns fall silent here on the outskirts of the city for the first time since februrary. the farmers employing private security to protect their crops and equipment — they say police aren't doing enough to tackle rural crime.
