that the days of the uk being reliant on cheap labour must come to an end and british businesses must be weaned off their dependency on immigration. speaking at the confederation of british industry, sir keir called for a plan to train british workers and boost skills. but talking to chris mason he refused to commit to lowering overall immigration. plenty of businesses, urban and rural, are crying out for more workers. today, farmers gathered to talk about the problem. there's a strong chance that we'll put our business out of business. it's very difficult to see a way forward when we have no clear idea how we're going to recruit next year, and when the cost, the inflation that's built into that workforce every year, is going up in double digits. and are the politicians listening? it doesn't feel like it to me. enter keir starmer, talking to business leaders and trying to lay on the charm. labour is ready.

we are a party that is proud of being pro—business, that respects the contribution profit makes to ourjobs, growth and our tax base. but labour are determined to learn a lesson of brexit — a concern about too much immigration. 0ur common goal must be to help the british economy off its immigration dependency. to start investing more in training workers who are already here. what a change. yes, it's been in the offing for a while but it's worth emphasising what this amounts to. from the party that oversaw a huge increase in immigration from central and eastern europe less than two decades ago, and from a man who when he campaigned for the labour leadership three years ago advocated maintaining freedom of movement with the european union. so, what does keir starmer say to those businesses desperate to bring in more workers from abroad? you're effectively saying, no, or not as much as they would like.

well, what i'm saying is we've got to look at the short—term, but we can't always just have a sticking plaster. is immigration right now too high? if what's driving it is a skills failure, then we need to address that, and that means that in areas where we are overreliant on immigration because we haven't fixed the skills problem, i'd like to see that immigration come down. i'm not sure that was an answer, though. is it too high? well, chris, i'm not going to pluck an arbitrary number and say that's the right number. but do you want it to come down? one of the drivers of immigration is that we've got hundreds of thousands of people who were in the workforce just two or three years ago and now aren't because they can't get access to health treatment for mental health treatment. i want to fix that problem. plenty here don't buy keir starmer�*s argument about immigration, but they are giving labour a fresh look. chris mason, bbc news, in birmingham. more than 150 people are still missing after an earthquake in indonesia.

the death toll in west java has risen to 268 — many of the dead were children, killed as schools collapsed. the government says thousands of homes have been destroyed and roads have been damaged which is making it hard to reach the worst hit areas. the epicentre of the earthquake was in cianjur on the island ofjava, from where our indonesia correspondent, valdya baraputri, has sent this report. rescue workers remind people not to get too close to a ruin of a house. they are trying to evacuate a body of a 28—year—old man trapped in concrete after a three floor house collapsed to the ground. there were five people at the time, but the others survived. translation: the other people were on the highest floor. - they managed to be rescued. my brother—in—law was on the first floor. the ruins fell on him. the government estimated that most victims are children, because of the number of boarding schools in the area that

have been destroyed. meanwhile, many destroyed houses are left by the owners, who took refuge in makeshift tents. the closer to the epicentre of the earthquake, the more visible the damage, some beyond repair. people are too afraid to go back to their houses while, as you can see, these slanted floors are very prone to collapsing, even with the smallest after—shock. 151 people are still missing, many trapped under a landslide triggered by the earthquake. translation: as for the victims| who are still buried in the rubble, i have ordered that the search for victims and their evacuation must be prioritised. the indonesian geophysical agency has learned that the earthquake is a once in 20 year event. for hundreds of injured people at the hospital, the effect could last a lifetime. valdya baraputri, bbc news, cianjur.

whenjack grealish scored england's sixth goal yesterday, he didn't do a backflip like the saudi player — instead, he did this. like the saudi player — and this is why last week, 12—year—old manchester city fan finlay met jack grealish after writing to him. finlay has cerebral palsy as does jack grealish's sister hollie. and when they met jack promised finlay that if he scored — finlay could choose how he celebrated — so he chose this. today the 12—year—old told bbc breakfast how he was jumping forjoy when grealish scored. iwasjumping around. well, trying to jump. and then he did the celebration that you'd asked for. when you saw him do it, the fact that he'd remembered, that must have been and done what you... that must have been... what did you think? firstly, i thought that he wouldn't remember. but then when he did it, i was like, "oh, my god, "he's done the worm!" he's done the worm!
