got to this situation. the government has been trying to explain why the decision was taken so late. also on the programme: rail services come to a halt across large parts of england, as train drivers walk out again, in their long—running pay dispute. a tiktok influencer and her mother are jailed for life for the murder of two men who died after their car was rammed off the road in leicester. and we meet the 13—year—old who's shot to the top of para table tennis, ahead of next week's european championships. and coming up on bbc news — we'll have the latest on the big moves, with football's transfer deadline approaching, as saudi interest ramps up for liverpool's mo salah.
6:01 pm
good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. more than 50 schools in england have buildings that are at risk of sudden collapse because of dangerous concrete, says the government, and more schools may be forced to close. at least 156 schools are affected so far, but the full list isn't being made public. it comes just days before the start of term and has thrown schools�* and parents�* plans into chaos. the problem is this, reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, otherwise known as raac. it's lightweight, bubbly concrete that was used widely in buildings between the 19505 and �*90s. it's usually found in roofs and walls. it's weaker and cheaper than traditional concrete. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports. these gates will be closed next week. "it is shocking and disappointing" — that's what this small essex primary has written to parents.
6:02 pm
next week, children will start the school year online. hayley�*s had to get last—minute childcare for her son. the build—up to go tojuniors has been quite stressful for him, and then to turn round and say, "oh, rhys, you're not starting school next week" has been a bit heartbreaking. just in essex, 50 school buildings are affected. raac concrete now considered a threat to children's safety. parents asking today why the warning is so last—minute. it just seems a bit frustrating because itjust seemed to be, like, last second that they decided, oh, no, the building's not safe, it's not sound or anything, and we have to give it another week or so. it will be difficult _ because she's only six, yeah? so to have her another, like, four days, five days- just sitting inside, it will be hard. - at the other end of the country, in cumbria, this secondary school will delay opening by one day,
6:03 pm
while it works around the affected areas. the raac concrete is limited to four small corridor areas in school and all of those classrooms serviced by those corridors do have access through other rooms. so we are able to operate all of our classrooms from the start of term. the dangers of raac in public buildings have been known for years. injuly 2018, a school roof collapsed without warning. may 2019, an expert committee issued an alert on raac. in 2020, a promise to remove all raac from the nhs. 2021, school building safety was rated "critical" by the department for education. and in march 2022, schools were asked to check for raac. less than half had responded by this summer. this primary school was closed injune. its roof is made with raac. but until yesterday, urgent action was only taken if the concrete
6:04 pm
was in a critical condition. what we learnt over the summer was that there are a number of cases in schools, but also in non—school buildings and in england and outside england where raac that we previously thought was safe or low risk actually has failed. so we took swift action to change the guidance yesterday. new techniques have produced better schools more quickly and more - cheaply than ever before... in the 1960s, cheap building materials delivered new schools. but now, some are dealing with a crumbling legacy. spending on school buildings in england has fallen dramatically. between 2010 and 2022, it went down by 50%, taking rising costs into account. around £4 billion to £8 billion a year is thought to be needed to keep schools in a good condition. but since 2016, around 2.3 billion has been spent, on average, each year.
6:05 pm
in some schools alerted last term, work is already under way. now 100 more are managing similar risks. branwen more are managing similar risks. bra nwen jeffreys, more are managing similar risks. branwenjeffreys, bbc news. so which other buildings could be affected? tom symonds has been finding out. the work keeps coming in for the structural engineering firm in welwyn garden city. demands for inspections on schools and even private houses because of worries about reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete. so i have to say, this reminds me a bit of a well—known chocolate bar. figs reminds me a bit of a well-known chocolate bar.— reminds me a bit of a well-known chocolate bar. as you can see, it is full of air bubbles. _ chocolate bar. as you can see, it is full of air bubbles. as _ chocolate bar. as you can see, it is full of air bubbles. as you - chocolate bar. as you can see, it is full of air bubbles. as you can - chocolate bar. as you can see, it is full of air bubbles. as you can see, j full of air bubbles. as you can see, normal concrete. _ full of air bubbles. as you can see, normal concrete. this _ full of air bubbles. as you can see, normal concrete. this is _ full of air bubbles. as you can see, normal concrete. this is pretty - normal concrete. this is pretty solid. whereas _ normal concrete. this is pretty solid. whereas this _ normal concrete. this is pretty solid. whereas this is - normal concrete. this is pretty solid. whereas this is a - normal concrete. this is pretty solid. whereas this is a lot - normal concrete. this is pretty - solid. whereas this is a lot weaker and can easily be shown.—

simmons, bbc news, welling garden city. 0ur education editor branwenjeffreys is with me now. what will happen now? the schools dealing with it immediately are communicating with parents. there are more surveys under way and those are more surveys under way and those are being speeded up in england to identify other schools where there might be a potential risk. today in scotland, the education secretary has confirmed 35 schools have been affected. in wales, none have been identified so far, but surveys have been under way since the spring. and northern ireland has also ordered urgent investigations and surveys into it schools to see where raac might have been used. it is into it schools to see where raac might have been used.- into it schools to see where raac might have been used. it is going to be costl , might have been used. it is going to be costly. isn't _ might have been used. it is going to be costly, isn't it, _ might have been used. it is going to be costly, isn't it, who _ might have been used. it is going to be costly, isn't it, who is _ might have been used. it is going to be costly, isn't it, who is going - might have been used. it is going to be costly, isn't it, who is going to i be costly, isn't it, who is going to pay for it? it be costly, isn't it, who is going to pay for it?— pay for it? it is going to be costly and we don't _ pay for it? it is going to be costly and we don't know— pay for it? it is going to be costly and we don't know the _ pay for it? it is going to be costly and we don't know the final - pay for it? it is going to be costly. and we don't know the final bill. in england, any temporary measures like putting up props or putting in place temporary classrooms will be met by the government, they will pay for that. ministers have confirmed that today. but there will be a longer
6:09 pm
term bill. if you need to completely replace a building because raac is a large component of it, schools in england are going to have to bid through the government's normal capitalfunding for through the government's normal capital funding for schools and stand in a queue for that along with the schools with asbestos and other structural problems.— and if you head to the bbc website, you can find your questions answered on this story. a tiktok influencer and her mother have been jailed for life for the murder of two men who died after their car was rammed off the road following a high—speed chase. mahek bukhari and her mother, ansreen, were found guilty of killing hashim ijazzudin and saqib hussain in february last year. it happened after mr hussain had threatened to expose an affair with ansreen bukhari. 0ur midlands correspondent navteonhal reports. mother and daughter, best friends... who are you? who are we? ..and murderers.
6:10 pm
mahek bukhari wanted to be known as a tiktok influencer. but along with her mother, ansreen bukhari, she is now notorious. the pair were convicted last month of killing 21—year—old saqib hussain and hashim ijazuddin. ansreen bukhari had been in a three—year—long affair with saqib hussain. when it broke down, he threatened to expose the relationship to the 46—year—old's husband and son by sending them sexually explicit videos of bukhari. that was when she and her daughter hatched a plot, with the help of others, to seize saqib hussain�*s phone containing the material in a meeting at this tesco car park in leicester in february last year. but the meeting turned into a fatal car chase, when saqib and his friend hashim ijazuddin were killed after their friend was rammed off the road. at leicester crown court, the defendants found guilty of murder were landed life sentences. mahek bukhari was given a minimum term of 31 years and eight months, her mother was
6:11 pm
ordered to serve at least 26 years and nine months. rekan karwa, on the left, was jailed for 26 years and ten months, and raees jamal, also serving a rape sentence, was sentenced to 36 years. sanaf gulamustafa, natasha akhtr and ameerjamal were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 14 years and nine months, 11 years and eight months and 14 years and eight months, respectively. all of the defendants had the time they spent on remand deducted from their sentences. while she waited for a verdict last month, mahek bukhari appeared relaxed, playing board games at court and even waving and laughing at reporters outside hours before she was found guilty. but she spent much of her time this morning in the dock in tears, as her victim —— as the families of her victims described her and the other killers as file humans and asked them, was it worth it? navteonhal, bbc news. leicester.
6:12 pm
thousands of train drivers are on strike again today, leaving large parts of england without any train services. members of aslef at more than a dozen rail compaines are taking part in their long—running dispute over pay. tomorrow, in a separate strike, up to 20,000 rail workers will walk out from 14 different train companies, cutting rail services in half. journeys into scotland and wales will be affected. meanwhile, the future of station ticket offices is under scrutiny. hundreds could close in england. the government will make its final decision soon. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. a ticket office in surrey open for business today, but for how much longer? under pressure from the government to cut costs, train companies say ticket—buying habits have changed and they want to use staff differently. a public consultation has received at least half a million responses. i buy them on an app, but i understand that there's a lot of people locally who don't have access to that app. personally, it wouldn't make a difference to how i travel,
6:13 pm
but i understand there are a lot of people who do rely on that, who might not have a smartphone. sometimes, i go to the ticket machine and i won't be sure i of what actually the best - combination is — because i want to take a slightly awkward route, or something like that — - and the person at the ticket office will obviously help me. _ disability groups have raised concerns that not having ticket offices could make travel harder. i think it will make it absolutely impossible. it makes one more isolated. well, i always have trouble with machines because i personally have a tremor. we appreciate that there are very real concerns, and this whole process is designed to address those issues individually, at individual stations, ratherthanjust being a national referendum about ticket offices. passenger watchdogs will now assess rail users' feedback. the department for transport insists no final decisions have been made. also today, there's another major strike on the railway — this time, by train drivers in the aslef union. many parts of the country have no services at all today. this is one of the stations
6:14 pm
that's completely closed. |so anything that we don't sell, j it's unfortunately thrown away. five minutes down the road, the organisers of this beer festival say the timing is devastating. a lot of our people come from quite a distance. i so far, we've sold about 50% - of the tickets that we would expect to at this stage, and we're not that l optimistic that it's going to boost. | aslef has warned more walk—outs could lie ahead. i believe inevitably, there will be more action, but this action is driven as a reaction to how we've been treated by our employers, a reaction to how we're being treated by this government. we have no choice. the government and the industry continue to call for aslef members to get a vote on the latest offer, which the union rejected in the spring. it involved two successive 4% pay rises, in exchange for a raft of changes to working arrangements. there's another rmt strike tomorrow. katy is at haslemere station in surrey for us. is there any sign of an end to this? well, when it comes to the main
6:15 pm
train drivers union it doesn't look like it. their dispute with the train companies has become increasingly bitter and their leader told me he views more industrial action as inevitable. industry negotiators argue that changes need to be agreed to fund a pay rise and in their view it doesn't seem that first accept that. when it comes to the rmt, those groups have been having exchanges recently and away they haven't done for quite some time but that won't affect tomorrow's rmt strike going ahead and i don't think we are at the point of a significant breakthrough just yet. talking of tomorrow's strike, not only with thousands workers in the rmt walk out but also train drivers in aslef will be turning down over time. so it is another day to check before you set off. house prices have seen their biggest annual decline since 2009 —
6:16 pm
according to the latest figures from the nationwide building society — taking the average property value tojust under £260,000. the mortgage lender said prices in august were 5.3% below their peak in august last year. mortgage approvals are down about 20% compared with before the pandemic. the uk's economy returned to growth after the impact of the covid pandemic far quicker than previously thought. new data analysed by the office of national statistics suggests at the end of 2021, gdp — the sum of everything produced in the economy — was 0.6% higher than 2019, rather than more than 1% lower. 0ur economics editor faisal islam is here. so quite a change was yellow it is a massive upgrade on what we thought was the size of the economy at the end of 2021. the context here is that about a year or two after the official numbers come out they are always gone through with a fine tooth comb with all the data available and normally they're pretty much in line with what was
6:17 pm
originally released. this time as you say it is nearly 2% big at the size of the economy at the end of 2021 and that reflects the fact that there was a massive downswing during there was a massive downswing during the pandemic lockdown. and then the recovery afterwards was also a massive upswing, even get now we find out then thought. two consequences to that, even last month the 0ns was suggesting that the economy had not recovered the losses from the pandemic by now. now they have shown that happen at the end of 2021. and it puts the uk much more in the european mainstream rather than the like that we thought in the previous figures. what it doesn't do is transfer into the sort of debate we are doing right now about whether the uk is more inflation prone than other european countries. the figures that you just said about the housing market, about factory output, the bank and's comments that interest rates will be at a plateau for some months ago. they are much more relevant. we can see why the prime minister, who was
6:18 pm
chancellor, was behind the furlough scheme which helped the recovery and points to these numbers even though they are a kind of relief in terms of the recent history of crisis rather than very relevant for what we are seeing today. the time is 6.20. our top story this evening... dozens of schools were at risk of sudden collapse, says the government, because of a lightweight type of concrete. coming up... three donald trump supporters get long jail sentences for their role in the capitol hill riots. coming up on bbc news — what an introduction to european football for brighton. the premier league side are drawn against european giants ajax and marseille in the europa league, with rangers among the other british sides featuring in the draw, too. there's a new coronavirus variant and it has prompted the government to roll out covid and flu vaccines
6:19 pm
earlier than planned in england. it'll begin in less than a fortnight and the aim is to immunise as many people as possible by the end of october. but how worried should we all be? 0ur medical editor fergus walsh is here. there does seem to be more covid about than in early summer. for most it will be little more than an irritant but for some the virus still poses a potentially lethal threat. covid is mentioned on around 100 death certificates a week in the uk but at the peak of the pandemic it was over 1,000 a day. this is what has prompted the nhs to bring forward the autumn vaccine push by several weeks, a new variant called ba 2.86. it has a high number of mutations which means the antibodies we have may not recognise it so well. there have been just three confirmed cases in the uk and there's no evidence as yet that it is any more dangerous than other
6:20 pm
variants of covid. but health officials are watching it closely. it's really out of an abundance of precaution, based on the very limited and early data we have at the moment, that we have advised that that vaccination programme is brought forward and that's to give people who are at the highest risk of severe infection the best possible chance as they go into winter of being protected against this virus. so who can get a covid vaccine? among the first to receive them will be residents in adult care homes and the immunocompromised. the over 65s, clinically vulnerable, and health and care staff are also eligible. the roll—out will begin in england and wales on 11th september and in scotland from monday. you should be contacted by the nhs if you are due a jab. here's a list of most of those eligible for a free flu vaccine — you can see there's a lot of crossover with the covid jab — and you can have both on the same day. the flu vaccine is also recommended
6:21 pm
if you are pregnant, while children can have a nasal spray. of course, the flu vaccine will also be available privately, whereas you can't, for now, buy a covid jab. fergus, thank you. three members of the far—right group the proud boys, who are staunch supporters of donald trump, have been given long prison sentences for their role in the storming of the capitol building in washington dc. a leader of the group — joseph biggs, an army veteran — was given 17 years, one of the longest sentences yet handed out. two others were jailed for ten and 15 years. 0ur north america editor sarah smith reports from washington. they're probably they�* re probably about they're probably about 300 proud boys... they're probably about 300 proud bo s... ., ,., they're probably about 300 proud bo s... ., , boys... thousands of people marched on the boys. .. thousands of people marched on the capitol— boys... thousands of people marched on the capitol building _ boys... thousands of people marched on the capitol building in _ on the capitol building injanuary. the longest sentences going to the people who coordinated and organised the riot. the proud boys, a
