patients and their families, will be used as evidence in the latest phase of the covid inquiry which begins today. great ormond street hospital orders a review into the work of a surgeon and admits some children have been harmed. leaders of two major unions call on the government to scrap plans to cut winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. the curtain comes down on the paralympics in paris, as the british team celebrate hitting their medal target in style after a memorable summer of sport. and are you ready for a shock to the system? some spots which saw 28 degrees on friday, will only be about 1k degrees. are you ready for the first field of autumn? details on breakfast. good morning. it's monday, the 9th of september. the next phase of the uk covid inquiry begins today, with public hearings looking

at the impact on patients, healthcare workers and the wider nhs. the personal stories of more than 30,000 people will form part of the evidence heard over the coming weeks. 0ur reporterjoe inwood has more. there was no area of life untouched by the covid—19 pandemic. but what impact did it have on those who risked their lives to save others? that's the question being asked by the next stage of the covid public inquiry, known as module three, which begins today. it will examine how health care workers were impacted, looking at the issue of ppe, at masks and infection control, as well as the way that gps and the 111 helpline were used. it will also aim to shed light on the thorny issues of shielding for the most vulnerable, maternity services and end of life care, along with many other areas. the public inquiry started injune last year, and is looking at all aspects of the worst pandemic of modern times.

this section is set to take ten weeks, and will include 30,000 stories submitted by members of the public, said to be the largest engagement exercise ever undertaken by a uk public inquiry. it will also hear from around 50 in—person witnesses. but there has been concern raised by one leading group that represents the families of those who died. there have been very few bereaved witnesses brought in front of the inquiry, and there's very few being called in future modules as well. and that means that some of the key issues around the disproportionate effects on the bame community, or people working on zero hour contracts, those sort of class issues, are actually not being talked about enough at all. there was no doubt that the work done by frontline medical workers was appreciated more than ever during the worst months of the pandemic. they saved countless lives, but at what cost to their own? joe inwood, bbc news.

later in the programme we will be talking to families who are going to be giving evidence to that inquiry. but now, the other news withjon. great 0rmond street hospital says it is reviewing the cases of more than 700 patients after allegations concerning the possible negligence of a former doctor. yaserjabbar worked as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon from 2017 to 2022. the hospital says its taking the matter incredibly seriously. 0ur correspondent nickjohnson is at the london hospital. concerning time for all of those families, and more widely as well? yes, you're right. and great 0rmond street_ yes, you're right. and great 0rmond street said. — yes, you're right. and great 0rmond street said, it asked the royal college — street said, it asked the royal college of surgeons to carry out a wider— college of surgeons to carry out a wider review into its orthopaedic practices — wider review into its orthopaedic practices following concerns from families _ practices following concerns from families and staff members. that was

parliament tomorrow, during a vote on the decision to scrap winter fuel payments. in a moment we'll talk to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. but first, our correspondent zoe conway is at the tuc conference in brighton. zoe, two major unions are calling on the government to reverse their plans? there is real anger and dismay here in brighton at the government decision to take the winter fuel payment away from the 10 million pensioners. two unions, the pcs and united, who between them represent 1.2 million workers, are calling on the government to reverse this decision. in some ways that is not surprising because both of those unions are on the left within the trade union movement. but tomorrow, all of the unions are expected to back a motion that states clearly that there —— they are opposed to this government policy. what is striking is what people are saying in private. people who are normally

supportive of the labour leadership, union figures, are expressing their disquiet. they think the government's handling of this has been a bit politically inept. it is important to point out some of the big, more moderate unions, unison, the gmb, have so far not weighed in on this row. they have not criticised the government. thank you very much indeed. we have got disquiet away from parliament and disquiet in parliament as well, henry. how will the prime minister manage this? the henry. how will the prime minister manage this?— manage this? the first thing to stress is that _ manage this? the first thing to stress is that there _ manage this? the first thing to stress is that there is - manage this? the first thing to stress is that there is no - manage this? the first thing to | stress is that there is no chance manage this? the first thing to i stress is that there is no chance of the government losing this vote unless— the government losing this vote unless they pull it. this government motion _ unless they pull it. this government motion is _ unless they pull it. this government motion is going to pass. the winter fuel allowance is going to be means tested _ fuel allowance is going to be means tested. but the question in westminster is, at what cost to keir starmer's _ westminster is, at what cost to keir starmer's authority? just as there is discomfort in the trade union movement, there is discomfort in the labour— movement, there is discomfort in the labour movement in parliament, in the parliamentary labour party. a dozen _ the parliamentary labour party. a dozen labour mps have signed an

a public inquiry into the deaths of more than 2,000 mental health patients in essex will open this morning, after years of campaigning by bereaved relatives. the lampard inquiry will examine deaths of inpatients at successive nhs trusts over 23 years, and the findings?could have implications for mental healthcare more widely. 0ur east of england health correspondent nikki fox reports. hi. two days ago, i was sectioned in the mental hospital. the 999 call that 20—year—old matthew leahy made from inside a mental health unit in chelmsford in essex in 2012. since being here, i've been raped and the doctors refuse to acknowledge it. four days later, he was found unresponsive. no charges were brought, but the trust failed to follow its own rape allegation procedures. his care plan was falsified after death. we are fighting to keep loved ones,

the next generation, alive. for a decade, matthew's mother, melanie, has led the calls for a public inquiry. he was an honest boy. initially, he got involved with the trust because he needed help, and he went out and asked for that. he didn't ask to die. three years ago, the trust that runs mental health care in essex was fined more than £1 million because its wards were unsafe. mps said they should have listened earlier. i want to say to the families, they were right and we were wrong, and i'm sorry that that was the case. lisa morris lost her son ben after he died at the same unit. she's among dozens of relatives that have joined together to get answers. what gives you the strength to keep going on? ben. ben gives me the strength, because he was just innocent in all this. he didn't deserve any of this. essex partnership university trust says many of the 2,000 deaths are people who died

of natural causes. but it says it will continue to do all it can to support the inquiry. 0ne law firm representing more than 100 families says that's crucial. this is as important as the post office inquiry as the infected blood inquiry. these are some of the most vulnerable of our society. the inquiry�*s chaired by baroness kate lampard, who led the nhs investigation into abuse byjimmy saville. if the government accepts her recommendations, there could be wide ranging implications for mental health care across the nhs. nikki fox, bbc news. more local authorities in england will be given powers to run their own bus services, under legislation being laid before parliament today. the law would allow councils to franchise services to private companies, but decide routes, timetables and fares. mark ashdown reports. for many people, especially

in rural communities, buses can be a lifeline. a cheap and mostly reliable way to get out and about for work, essentials, and leisure. but for more than a decade services have been gradually declining. according to official data, buses still carry 10.2 million passengers in england every day. but since 2010, almost 300 million fewer miles have been driven each year. in that time the number of registered bus routes has fallen, from more than 17,000, to just under 9,000 last year. the new transport secretary wants to reverse that. hailing it as the first to stop in a bus revolution, legislation will be put before parliament today to devolve the power to run services to local authorities in england. the most likely model would be bus franchising, which allows an authority to grant private companies a contract to run services, but it retains control over routes, timetables and fares. last year greater manchester became the first place outside london to bring

services into public control since they were deregulated in the 1980s. there is some scepticism among private operators that the model would work in every area. but these changes are broadly being welcomed. we welcome the better buses bill, which will give local authorities the power to franchise and specify services. but they will also need to be funding in order to deliver those contracts with private operators. so, without that funding, and without the capacity and expertise of the local authority level, not many authorities will be able to take advantage of those new powers. the government says a full buses bill will follow, but that by putting local communities in the driving seat now, they are setting the wheels in motion for the biggest overhaul of england's bus network in a generation. mark ashdown, bbc news. iam not i am not entirely sure what you got up i am not entirely sure what you got up to the weekend. when i do now, but we will talk about that later.

for some pooches in california it was spent riding the waves. now, take a look at this. 50 dogs and their owners have gathered for an annual dog surfathon in san diego. look at that one! how do they do that on their own? a little bit of assistance. glad they have all got their life jacket. that didn't go terribly well. all sizes, breeds, ages competing. ten minute heat. surely they didn't have to stay on for ten minutes? no. i am for ten minutes? no. iam not for ten minutes? no. i am not sure my sadie would let me do that. that is probably what sadie would do, hold on for dear life. the event raises money to support the centre's services for orphaned dogs. quite a crowd. and beautiful weather. we could have

served down some uk high street over the weekend. it has been dreadful for some. matt can reflect on that and look ahead. good morning. what a weekend it was. especially yesterday. just one of the most 3000 lightning strikes we saw across the south—east of england yesterday alone. jon mentioned the rain and surfing down high streets. shrewsbury saw the second wettest september day on record yesterday. in one fall of rain in the space of one day. write to a month's full. this week maybe not quite as wet. that is a good sign. quite showery. the next few days will be windier. and you are about to see something which could have put across the uk. at there this morning it is not too chilly first thing. there is plenty of cloud. 0utbreaks chilly first thing. there is plenty of cloud. outbreaks of rain in central and eastern england. the heaviest rain in yorkshire and

lincolnshire, that will push east through the day. light rain north and west of that. brightening skies for many. sunshine developing more widely through the morning, holding onto the cloud in eastern areas as we go through the afternoon. but while we will have some —— or more of a breeze, adding to a slightly chillierfeel, it will of a breeze, adding to a slightly chillier feel, it will feel pleasant. we ended the day it was part of western scotland and northern ireland with outbreaks of rain set to push their way in. some of that will be a little bit heavy at times, especially in the west of scotland. and it'sjust ahead of what we will see, strengthening winds through tonight, gales in scotland, heavy rain for scotland and northern ireland sweeping its way down into northern ireland. temperatures will hold up given the breeze. but are you ready for the first blast of autumn? temperatures by wednesday 11 to 1a degrees. got your autumn wardrobe out yet?

you must be kidding! first blast? that was in may, wasn't it?! we are going to have to get used to it now, aren't we? maybe we need to talk about the weather differently, think about it differently. it is nice and fresh. good luck with that. then you get hit by the rain. northern ireland's power—sharing coalition is expected to set out its key priorities for the next few years today. critics have questioned why it's taken seven months since the restoration of devolution for the plans to be announced. 0ur ireland correspondent sara girvin has the latest. how am i supposed to go another four years like this if i didn't have the money to pay for this surgery? and it would be impossible. i'd be in a wheelchair. what is it that we are planning in all areas of our life in northern ireland to tackle the misogyny, the attitudes, the negative attitudes, towards women? this programme for government needs to ensure the delivery- of affordable, quality, _ accessible childcare for families.

these are the concerns ofjust some of the people in northern ireland who have been waiting for their government to govern. the northern ireland executive has been back up and running forjust over seven months, after a political fallout saw it collapse for two years. the failure to announce its future plans until now has drawn criticism. the devolved government here at stormont has set out nine priorities. those include the economy, providing more social and affordable housing, making communities safer, and transforming public services. as ever, though, the devil is in the detail. and that's what people want to hear more of. people like becca, who's glad childcare is another priority. if you are a parent working in northern ireland on, say, an average salary, and you have two children in full—time childcare, your childcare bill is likely to be over £2,000 a month, and is wiping out yourfull pay cheque. we need a detailed, deliverable plan

for the whole childcare sector that actually is going to work forfamilies. northern ireland is the only part of the uk without a strategy on dealing with violence against women and girls, something that now looks set to change. marcella has been campaigning for this for years. her cousin, concepta leonard, was killed by her ex—partner seven years ago. we continue to have women who die as a result of domestic violence, which is very much then within my family, where i had a cousin murdered through domestic violence. and the impact of that, and yet, you know, there's outrage at the time. but follow that up meaningfully, and rather than that person becoming yet another statistic. health waiting lists in northern ireland are the worst in the uk. fixing that is another stormont priority. but that's too late for monica, who's travelling to lithuania for a new knee at the cost of £8,000. the pain is excruciating. it's 24/7. the reality is that

the seven year waiting list that i'm on isn't a realistic timing. i begrudge paying the money, because i've paid into the system from i was 16, i'm working 48 years, i've employed people for 38 years. and i just think that it's wrong that we should have to pay for something that we have already paid into. so far, politicians have only laid out what they want to do, not how they're going to do it. and they've warned about a difficult budget. people in northern ireland have waited more than a decade for these government plans. they'll be hoping for meaningful decisions that will make a difference to lives. sarah girvin, bbc news. it is just it isjust coming up it is just coming up to 22 minutes past six. let's have a look at today's papers. the front page of the times says the prime minister has insisted that pensioners will be able to afford the loss of winter fuel payments, adding that up to 50 mps are thought to be struggling to support the policy. the guardian also leads

with winter fuel payments, and says sources have told the paper that dozens of mps are considering abstaining or being absent for the vote, rather than rebelling and voting against. �*nhs in decline forfirst time in 50 years', is the headline on the telegraph this morning. it refers to a report expected to be published on thursday, which was commissioned by the government. the paper says it will highlight failures in the most basic care. taking a look inside the papers now, and this is something which features in a few of them — a sculpture, with a twist. literally. is that a boat? it is a canal boat. this looping boat has been installed on the sheffield and tinsley canal. 0n the side of the six metre tall artwork is the name the industry, so called after the first vessel to travel down the canal when it opened in 1819. it was created by artist alex chinneck, and sheffield city council hopes it will bring a new generation of visitors.

beautiful. absolutely gorgeous. whatever got inside of the papers? loads of food stories this morning. the times are reporting that apparently there has been a revival in crisps. they never went away. frazzled, chip stakes, other crisps are available. maybe they are slightly lower calorie than some of the modern ones? it isjust the modern ones? it is just because they taste nice. sales of some of them up by nearly 50% in a year. i blame everything on tiktok. it has got to be younger people not knowing what a frazzle was. apparently nigella lawson, very posh tv chef, is behind this. she says she has a crisp cauldron in her kitchen. of course she does! a crisp of course she does! a crisp cauldron. not for making them? just for the bags. secretly, nobody knows where it is.

i love this story about the excuses for being late for school. new excuses. somebody said their child put a blue food dye on a waffle over the weekend instead of syrup and they were late because they were having to scrape it off. somebody else said their nan took the children to the wrong school. that made them late. and somebody else, teachers saying that kids are going to greggs to greggs to pick their breakfast. that is now the top reason for being late to school. because lots of people like to have a pasty for breakfast, don't they? have you got any pasty related news? i can share with you some news that i can share with you some news that i took part in a baking competition over the weekend in a village show. i made a cheese and onion pasty. i made a cheese and onion pasty. i made a cheese and onion pasty. i made it. talk us through that. you might be able to spot a rosette in the bottom left of the picture, sally. jon! look at you.

did you win? i won it. i won first prize in a baking competition. and contrary to my children's speculation, there were other children —— or other people taking part. who is that? that's me! is that human disguise? i am not sure they actually tried it because it was cut open. there are no bite marks. nobody has taken a bite. it might explain a lot. proudest moment of my weekend. my of my weekend. my life. what was the category you entered? it was the men only baking competition. men only, baking pasties? cheese and onion pasty. 0nly men and you could only make a cheese and onion pasty? a little praise would be nice. it's brilliant. you didn't bring any in. no, because the other two i made were so

disgusting they went in the bin. i am really sorry to the other men who were beaten by our baking genius. 26 minutes past six. it's well—known that spending time outdoors can improve your well—being. but as the school terms gets under way, there are concerns children aren't regularly getting outside. the wildlife charity wwf has found the majority of pupils are not learning enough about nature in school, and it's calling for changes to the national curriculum. sam harrison reports. from beekeeping in devon, to pond dipping in newcastle. that look like a fish. children across the country showing curiosity in the great outdoors. but with kids back to school, there's a fear that these activities are on the demise. what did we find? i had nothing. new research by the wwf says children across the country aren't spending enough time connecting to nature. according to their figures, only 24% of schools provide

daily opportunities for pupils to get out into the wild, and it seems older pupils suffer more, with the research claiming 56% of secondary schools don't provide outdoor opportunities. the problem of access is particularly bad in more deprived areas, and the wwf say children in these communities simply don't spend enough time outdoors. and they say this chronic lack of access to nature could have damning consequences. despite the hard work of many passionate and committed teachers, most pupils in the uk are still missing out on regular opportunities to engage with nature. currently, students' chances of benefiting from being in nature, and that includes benefits to their physical health, their mental health and well—being, and the quality of their education, are a lottery depending on school year group, size, location, and the affluence of the catchment area they're in. to get kids buzzing about nature again, schools face an uphill challenge.

and at home too, in a modern world of tech, distractions are everywhere. if i can be on my laptop, i will. but if my friends are outdoors, i probably will be outdoors. first thing he wants to do, like, we get on the train, he'll say, "game, game, game", on my phone. so, to get him outdoors can only be betterfor him. do you prefer being outside or inside? outside. and why is that? because i can see lots of animals, and i can connect with nature more. it's that connection to nature which has clear benefits. but for happy and healthy minds to flourish in the future, it's one which needs to grow. sam harrison, bbc news. it's interesting. we use to learn about all the different trees and different birds. plenty more on that

coming up. also, we will be talking about the next phase of the covid inquiry. it is more than 50 years since this. it is returning to the london stage. can you believe that? it first arrived on the state have a century ago, now it is back in london and touring the uk. we'll speak to the show�*s creator richard 0'brien and starjason donovan. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. starting from tomorrow, the government plans to release around 5,500 prisoners early to free upjail space. non—violent and non—sexual offenders will start being let out after serving 40% of their sentence.

bbc london's been looking at what work opportunities are currently available for former prisoners, and has spoken to one who says opportunities offered by businesses are a lifeline. they spoke to me and gave me options, and that's where they brought up iceland delivery driver. didn't mind the sound of it, and its local to me, only ten minutes. it did feel good. it made the future look a bit better. for a lot of people, i can see it being a big lifeline. young people from north kensington say they will keep fighting for justice for the 72 lives lost in the grenfell tower fire. 18 children died as a result of the fire over seven years ago. last week, the final report of the long awaited public inquiry concluded it was an avoidable tragedy. some of those who were children at the time of the fire have become involved in campaigning. we're going to university, we're going into the real world now, i think it's an important moment

for us to come forward and speak about the way we were treated as children, to speak about the way it is for us now as well. they're listening, but are they hearing us? are they going to do something about it? it's not enough to just say, "yeah, we understand you." some residents in chingford took up the art of weaving this weekend, many for the first time, and it was all to commemorate a newly—named stretch of the london 0verg round. it's called the weaver line, and it connects liverpool street with spitalfields, enfield town, and chingford. it's been named in recognition of the area's historic textiles trade. locals have been working together to make a woven version of the 0verground sign to mark the launch. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's minor delays on the hammersmith and city line and on the picadilly line.

now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, after the humid conditions of the last few days, it is set to get cooler today, and over the next few days. for today, largely cloudy, could get some patchy rain around as well, especially first thing this morning. it's quite breezy, too, that north—westerly breeze. towards the end of the afternoon, might just start to see that cloud break, especially in the west. some brighter spells. temperatures, though, 16—18 celsius, slowly they are dipping down. 0vernight, the cloud will clear, we'll get some clear skies. temperatures will drop, it will be quite a chilly night, minimum temperature in single figures, dropping down to around 8 celsius. a bright start to tuesday, got some sunshine, but you will notice the cloud will then again start to increase, we are looking at some rain as we head through the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow, again we are looking at 18 celsius. the wind more westerly tomorrow, and it is still relatively fresh. now, as we head towards the mid part of the week, the temperatures drop even further, mid—teens celsius, feeling slightly warmer again by the end of the week. that's it from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour, but for now, i'll hand

you back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's focus now on the covid inquiry. the next round of public hearings are set to begin later this morning. the third module of the inquiry will look into the impact on health care across the uk, including nhs workers and patients. the hearings will also focus on issues such as the diagnosis and treatment of patients with long covid, protective equipment in hospitals, and the policy of shielding. more than 30,000 people in the uk have shared their personal stories from the pandemic, as part of a report called every story matters, which will be published today. these stories are the heart of the covid inquiry, and health reporterjim reed went to speak to some of the people affected. at the worst point, i didn't want to live any longer.

i woke up, i couldn't remember my children's names. my lungs were white. i had got covid pneumonia. every single household across the country lived through covid in a different way. everything in you hasjust drained, it'sjust gone. the first person i met, mandy, was a community midwife when reports of a new virus emerged. like anybody in health care, we were really struggling, trying to get equipment was absolutely horrendous. mandy still finds it hard to breathe, even after our short walk. she spent three weeks in hospital after catching covid at work at the height of the pandemic. bit breathless. going back up, so it's fine. that is what happens to me when i do anything.

i hadn't got the strength to walk into the hospital, so my poor husband had to go and get a wheelchairfor me. he then had to turn round... sorry. he then had to turn round and walk away. at that point, the stats were coming out on how many people were dying from covid, and... sorry. ..how many health care professionals were dying. more than 30,000 people like mandy in places from ipswich to inverness have spoken to the covid inquiry. good morning. we are gathering people's— good morning. we are gathering people's stories _ good morning. we are gathering people's stories and _ good morning. we are gathering people's stories and experiencel good morning. we are gathering i people's stories and experience of the lockdown _ people's stories and experience of the lockdown for— people's stories and experience of the lockdown for an _ people's stories and experience of the lockdown for an independent i the lockdown for an independent inquirv — the lockdown for an independent inquiry. it's— the lockdown for an independent inquiry. it'sjust_ the lockdown for an independent inquiry. it'sjust over— the lockdown for an independent inquiry. it'sjust over here. - it's now starting to tackle its next

subject, the nhs and health care. i caught covid and ended up in intensive care on a ventilator for three weeks. inside the town hall, gordon, a paramedic, told me he caught covid early on. i couldn't do the shifts any more, couldn't cope with them, so i left the ambulance service and i work in general practice now. so, yeah, so it's changed my life in that respect. it's clear the pandemic had a lasting impact, notjust on covid patients but on the wider nhs. linda lives in constant pain after a serious accident 20 years ago. an operation on her spine was cancelled as covid hit. ijust wanted to close my eyes and not open them again because i was in so, so much pain. linda still teaches art, but life is a struggle. she's been told its now too late for surgery. the rest of my life was destroyed. the agony is never going to go away now, and i will have to live for the rest of my life

with the consequences of not having had that one surgery. nearly five years on, those consequences are still being felt across the country. the inquiry must now decide if different actions, different decisions, should have been taken at the time. jim reed, bbc news. we will hear more stories that will be going in front of the inquiry throughout the programme this morning. time now for all the sport news. a brilliant summer of sport all round, and four paralympics gb, represented in the 19 spots, winning medals and 18, that is an unbelievable return, hitting their target, the same number of medals won in tokyo as they did in paris, but with eight more gold medals, 124 in total. and they will be

danced in the rain, the head of the games paid tribute to the host in the most glowing terms. floris games paid tribute to the host in the most glowing terms. paris 2024 has set a benchmark _ the most glowing terms. paris 2024 has set a benchmark for _ the most glowing terms. paris 2024 has set a benchmark for all - the most glowing terms. paris 2024 has set a benchmark for all future i has set a benchmark for all future paralympic games. you staged the most spectacular paralympic games ever. it most spectacular paralympic games ever. . , , ., most spectacular paralympic games ever. , ., �* ., ever. it was some games for britain, too. ever. it was some games for britain, tom laura — ever. it was some games for britain, too. laura sugar's _ ever. it was some games for britain, too. laura sugar's gold _ ever. it was some games for britain, too. laura sugar's gold in _ ever. it was some games for britain, too. laura sugar's gold in the - too. laura sugar's gold in the kayaking was the 49th and last for the paralympics which delivered wherever you look. the team's success has spanned all ages and sports. 0nce success has spanned all ages and sports. once again, they were second in the medals table, and the breadth of success has been remarkable. i of success has been remarkable. i think it has been again at the blend of the team, eating sports have

six tests and six wins — but that run is in the balance heading into the fourth day of the final test with sri lanka. with the series already secured, there was a batting collapse from england who were all out for 156, it would have been a lot worse were it not for harry smith who made 67. it means sri lanka have been haded two days to hit 219 runs, and they've already chalked off 94 of them, so just need 125 more of them. it has not been one of our better daysin it has not been one of our better days in test cricket this summer, and sometimes that happens. we have and sometimes that happens. we have a mantra where we always want to put the opposition under pressure, and sometimes we do it better than other times. give full credit to sri lanka today, the movement that they got on the ball, the lengths that they hit, they were very consistent. today, it didn't come off, that is ok, we can come back tomorrow, we still have the belief that something special can happen. the man who ended jack draper's run at the us open has lifted the men's singles title.

jannik sinner, the world number one, who beat draper in three sets in the semis, beat home favourite taylor fritz in the final at flushing meadows, to land his second grand slam title of the season, winning this one for the first time. and the crowds were out on the final stage of the tour of britain yesterday. they were flanking the finish at felixstowe as matevz govekar nailed the sprint finish, with welshman stevie williams winning the overall race. home wins have been a rarity since the british tour was relaunched in 2004, and williams joins sir bradley wiggins and steve cummings on a short but prestigious list. what a day. a memorable day for him as well yesterday. incredible. john, thank you. the public inquiry into the case of convicted serial killer lucy letby is expected to open tomorrow. it will examine how the nurse was able to murder seven babies and try to kill several others while working at the countess

of chester hospital in 2015 and 2016. we'rejoined now by tamlin bolton, a solicitor who represents the parents of some of letby�*s victims. good morning, tamlin. a lot more speculation about lucy letby over the weekend, but this is not a trial we are talking about, it is not an appeal, it is a public inquiry, just explain the purpose of it. that appeal, it is a public inquiry, 'ust explain the purpose of itfi explain the purpose of it. that is absolutely _ explain the purpose of it. that is absolutely right, _ explain the purpose of it. that is absolutely right, the _ explain the purpose of it. that is absolutely right, the public- absolutely right, the public inquiry is an entirely different thing from the criminal proceedings. so the public inquiry will look at all the events that happened at the countess of chester hospital in that key period once lucy letby was arrested, some from the middle of 2015 until aboutjune 2017. and thereafter.

sorry, there is a bit of a delay, i apologise for speaking over you. for the families of the young victims you're representing, what are they hoping to get out of this inquiry? they really want to understand factually what was going on on that unit. after the criminal trial concluded, we all started to hear a little bit more about the efforts by the consultants to raise awareness to try to push their concerns forward and how those concerns were not responded to. so it is very important for the families that they get a full picture now of exactly what was known at the time and what was happening on the unit. 50 was happening on the unit. so do the feel was happening on the unit. so do they feel that _ was happening on the unit. so do they feel that despite _ was happening on the unit. so do they feel that despite the - was happening on the unit. so do they feel that despite the fact - they feel that despite the fact that there have been the trials and all there have been the trials and all the public attention, there are still gaps in their understanding of what happened. still gaps in their understanding of what happened-— what happened. that's absolutely ri . ht, what happened. that's absolutely ritht, and what happened. that's absolutely right. and the _ what happened. that's absolutely right, and the duty _ what happened. that's absolutely right, and the duty of _ what happened. that's absolutely right, and the duty of candour - right, and the duty of candour between the hospital and the parents is one of the key issues of inquiry, how they were told about what had

happened to their children, when they were told, when they should have been told. for a number of repents, they were not even aware that their children have suffered any kind of or incidents on that unit until they were contacted by the police. so it is very important that that is made clear to them and they couldn't see the full story, what happened, particularly given what happened, particularly given what he had heard in the press following the criminal trial about the consultants�* efforts to try it to raise their concerns about letby. so does a public inquiry means that they, and you as lawyers representing them, get access to documents and records that maybe they have not been able to scrutinise themselves until this point? scrutinise themselves until this oint? ., �* , scrutinise themselves until this oint? . �*, , point? that's absolutely right. in the inquiry _ point? that's absolutely right. in the inquiry has — point? that's absolutely right. in the inquiry has called _ point? that's absolutely right. in the inquiry has called over- point? that's absolutely right. in the inquiry has called over 100 l the inquiry has called over 100 witnesses to come and give oral evidence. there are written witness statements from almost 170 different witnesses, and that is notjust people in the trust itself, it is also the external bodies that were

part of the picture at the time, people like the royal college, the co people like the royal college, the cq seat, the nmc, and all of them have also given witness evidence and provided documentation to help support the factual timeline that the inquiry is going to use so that they can draw conclusions. much as they can draw conclusions. much as the want they can draw conclusions. much as they want answers, _ they can draw conclusions. much as they want answers, they _ they can draw conclusions. much as they want answers, they want - they want answers, they want information, i can�*t imagine how tough it is going to be for those families to hear more, to uncover more. how are they doing, those families that you spend time with? it is really difficult for a lot of them, they are all dealing with this enormous ongoing tragedy. for those who have surviving children, they are now eight or nine years old, and there�*s to come a point where they have to explain all of the events of almost the past ten years to them. they are full of a lot of hope, but also a lot of anxiety about what they are going to hear, but they

still don�*t fully know and they still don�*t fully know and they still don�*t fully understand the picture of what happened to their babies at that time. i picture of what happened to their babies at that time.— picture of what happened to their babies at that time. i mentioned the seculation babies at that time. i mentioned the speculation has _ babies at that time. i mentioned the speculation has been _ babies at that time. i mentioned the speculation has been in _ babies at that time. i mentioned the speculation has been in some - babies at that time. i mentioned the speculation has been in some of - babies at that time. i mentioned the speculation has been in some of the | speculation has been in some of the media over the last two days about her status and possible appeals in the future. how difficult is that for those families to deal with? i can't stress enough how upsetting can�*t stress enough how upsetting that has been for all of the families that i represent. they have thought about so many ways in which they can try to address that and deal with it and make sure they put their voice across, but of course they are restricted by wanting to keep themselves confidential and private. so it is a really difficult challenge for them to try to avoid social media, avoid the reporting about it, but when you have children that are now eight or nine years old, they are looking at tiktok, they are looking at social media, and there are people claiming that the harm caused to their mother

siblings was not caused by somebody who has been found guilty of those crimes by a jury, and whose appeals have been exhausted, and the court of appeal have also said she remains guilty of these crimes.— guilty of these crimes. tamlin bolton, representing - guilty of these crimes. tamlin bolton, representing some i guilty of these crimes. tamlin bolton, representing some of| guilty of these crimes. tamlin - bolton, representing some of the families of the victims of lucy letby, thank you forjoining us. and there will be full coverage of the inquiry here on bbc news during the week. the time it is exactly side. you are watching breakfast on bbc news. —— the time is exactly 6.49. here�*s matt with a look at the weather. let me take you back to friday, this was the scene in cambridgeshire, and in each of the four nations, we saw some pretty high temperatures for early september, for instance in northern ireland to the warmest day of the year so far. the same four

spots, forward through to wednesday this week, and noticeable and quite sharp autumn blast is on its way. to go with it, some pretty cold nights as well, especially through into wednesday morning and thursday morning, friday morning as well potentially for some. a mixture of sunshine and showers for the week ahead, also be much windierfor a time, comedy with this condition is coming through tonight and into tomorrow. 0ut there today, more of a breeze, that is pushing away some of the cloud and rain we have seen in the cloud and rain we have seen in the 24 hours, weather fronts still stripped across parts of central and eastern england in particular, the odd lighter patch of rain and drizzle further west and north, but some sunny conditions in the west to begin your new working week, not a bad day for many here. we will see the cloud window across weeks eastern most counties of england into the afternoon, but elsewhere some sunny spells, and then to finish the day, western scotland and northern ireland, rain making a return as the cloud thickens. temperature is down on what we have been used to, 14 to 17 celsius, but

where the winds are lightest, this option will not feel too bad. tonight, various bursts of rain for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, gale force wind spreading to the north—west, temperatures will hold up around nine to 13 celsius. as for tuesday, this area of low pressure across shetland brings in persistent rain, but it will open the door to air all the way from the arctic is cleared through, giving us quite a change for the rest of the week. so starting on tuesday, we win is quite strong to begin with, quite a blast restart, and chilly wind about across the north—west of scotland, some persistent rain here, a weather front across northern england, outbreaks of rain pushing southwards, lingering across southern counties by the end of the afternoon. some on developing elsewhere, the discussion of showers, and later in the day, those could turn wintry across the highs of scotland. it will feel much colder out there. then as we go through into wednesday, that northerly flow right across the uk,

so a chilly start, a chilly day by and large, a sunny start for the south and east, frequent showers for the north and west, heavy with hail and thunder, a little bit wintry for and thunder, a little bit wintry for a short while across the scottish mountains, and there are your afternoon temperatures, 11 to 15 celsius. matt, justjump to the left. then step to the right. we won�*t make you do the pelvic thrust, though. it is pre—watershed. it�*s been more than 50 years since a little theatre production called the rocky horror show first appeared at london�*s royal court theatre. today, it�*s a cult classic, and the musical has returned to the royal court ahead of a tour around the uk. 0ur reporter thomas magill has been to meet some of the stars.

# madness takes its toll...# over 50 years of doing the time warp, and the rocky horror show is still going strong, much to the surprise of its creator richard 0�*brien. # doing the time warp...# it is quite exceptional in many ways, that it has touched many people, and i still don�*t quite know why, because comedy dates, and here we are with rocky still making people laugh. the original cast first performed the show and a tiny room at london�*s royal court in 1973. it celebrated difference and challenged the hetero norms of the time, something richard�*s still very proud of. homosexuality had only just been legalised, the world was shifting, and the world�*s attitudes to those

sorts of issues was softening, and we were part of that, and i am so delighted to have been part of that change in society. and all those nice things, all those developments that are good developments are now threatened by far right wing politicians. from humble beginnings all those years ago to cult status, these days it has a large and loyal army of super fans. every time they have been in the uk, we go. every single time. first time i went, i was 14, i�*m 25 now. yeah, and my daughter has actually come tonight for the first time, and she is 16, so it has gone from our mum right down to our children. it is the best thing i have ever seen. i never thought that a theatre show like this can be so amazing. i mean, it's great. i came 25 years ago to see jason donovan do it, it was totally amazing. this has just been the story of my

childhood, it�*sjust fantastic. and jason donovan is back in his fishnets and stilettos as frank—n—furter, a role he first played in 1998 when it quite literally changed his life. rocky, you know, for me sort of channels that inner rock star, frontman of a band, that probably i wanted to be in a way, but i was there with a technicolor coat and a loincloth, and it took a while to find the heels, but i eventually did in 1998 and i'm very glad i did. i also met my wife 25 years ago on this show, and we're still together. the movie in 1975 widened its appeal further, but forjason, it�*s the fans at the live shows that help keep it fresh night after night. the audience always carries us along, you know, it is magic.

as long as it is done well, the audience participation, it is a lovely layer to this piece, it is very unique. ade edmondson, when he was playing brad, said, "it�*s all very well for the audience to be shouting out things, but theirtiming�*s not very good, is it?" well, if you fancy getting involved orjust catching the show, it�*s on tour across the country until the middle of next year. thomas magill, bbc news. and you will be singing that line all day. are you not going to dance? not now, maybe later. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i�*m victoria cook. starting from tomorrow, the government plans to release around 5,500 prisoners early to free upjail space. non—violent and non—sexual offenders will start being let out after serving 40% of their sentence. bbc london�*s been looking at what work opportunities

are currently available for former prisoners, and has spoken to one who says opportunities offered by businesses are a lifeline. they spoke to me and gave me options, and that�*s where they brought up iceland delivery driver. didn�*t mind the sound of it, and it�*s local to me, only ten minutes. it did feel good. it made the future look a bit better. for a lot of people, i can see it being a big lifeline. young people from north kensington say they will keep fighting for justice for the 72 lives lost in the grenfell tower fire. 18 children died as a result of the fire over seven years ago. last week the final report of the long awaited public inquiry concluded it was an avoidable tragedy. some of those who were children at the time of the fire have become involved in campaigning. we�*re going to university, we�*re going into the real world now, i think it�*s an important moment for us to come forward and

speak about the way we were treated as children, to speak about the way it is for us now as well. they're listening, but are they hearing us? are they going to do something about it? it's not enough to just say, "yeah, we understand you." some residents in chingford took up the art of weaving this weekend — many for the first time — and it was all to commemorate a newly—named stretch of the london 0verground. it�*s called the weaver line, and it connects liverpool street with spitalfields, enfield town and chingford. it�*s been named in recognition of the area s historic textiles trade. locals have been working together to make a woven version of the 0verground sign to mark the launch. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. well, after the humid conditions of the last few days, it is set to get cooler today, and over the next few days. for today, largely cloudy,

could get some patchy rain around as well, especially first thing this morning. it�*s quite breezy, too, that north—westerly breeze. towards the end of the afternoon, might just start to see that cloud break, especially in the west. some brighter spells. temperatures, though, 16—18 celsius, slowly they are dipping down. 0vernight, the cloud will clear, we�*ll get some clear skies. temperatures will drop, it will be quite a chilly night, minimum temperature in single figures, dropping down to around 8 celsius. a bright start to tuesday, got some sunshine, but you will notice the cloud will then again start to increase, we are looking at some rain as we head through the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow, again we are looking at 18 celsius. the wind more westerly tomorrow, and it is still relatively fresh. now, as we head towards the mid part of the week, the temperatures drop even further, mid—teens celsius, feeling slightly warmer again by the end of the week. that�*s it from us for now. we�*ll be back in half an hour. but for now i�*ll hand you back tojon and sally.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. more than 30,000 health workers, patients and families share their stories with the latest phase of the covid inquiry, which begins today. leaders of two major unions call on the government to scrap plans to cut winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. great 0rmond street hospital orders a review into the work of a surgeon and admits some children have been harmed. the curtain comes down on the paralympics in paris, as the british team celebrate hitting their medal target in style after a memorable summer of sport. a-t a—t and crocheted by volunteers from around the world to represent the 80

years since d—day. this incredible project goes on display today in the uk for the very first time. and we may have hit the high 20s for some last week. what are you ready for the first blast of autumn? a mid—teens at best by the time we get to wednesday. details here on breakfast. good morning. it�*s monday, the 9th of september. the next phase of the uk covid inquiry begins today, with public hearings looking at the impact on patients, healthcare workers and the wider nhs. the personal stories of more than 30,000 people will form part of the evidence, that will be heard over the coming weeks. 0ur reporterjoe inwood has more. there was no area of life untouched by the covid—19 pandemic. but what impact did it have on those who risked their lives to save others? that�*s the question being asked by the next stage of the covid public inquiry, known as module three, which begins today.

it will examine how health care workers were impacted, looking at the issue of ppe, at masks and infection control, as well as the way that gps and the 111 helpline were used. it will also aim to shed light on the thorny issues of shielding for the most vulnerable, maternity services and end of life care, along with many other areas. the public inquiry started injune last year, and is looking at all aspects of the worst pandemic of modern times. this section is set to take ten weeks, and will include 30,000 stories submitted by members of the public, said to be the largest engagement exercise ever undertaken by a uk public inquiry. it will also hear from around 50 in—person witnesses. but there has been concern raised by one leading group that represents the families of those who died. there have been very few bereaved witnesses brought in front of the inquiry, and there�*s very few being called in future modules as well.

and that means that some of the key issues around the disproportionate effects on the bame community, or people working on zero hour contracts, those sort of class issues, are actually not being talked about enough at all. there was no doubt that the work done by frontline medical workers was appreciated more than ever during the worst months of the pandemic. they saved countless lives, but at what cost to their own? joe inwood, bbc news. it is three minutes past seven. jon has more of the news. the prime minister is facing a potential rebellion in the commons tomorrow, during a vote on the decision to scrap winter fuel payments. it comes as leaders of two major unions are also calling on the government to reverse the plan. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster this morning. henry, there�*s growing

pressure on the prime minister over these cuts? he is absolutely determined to press ahead? ., �* , �* ahead? that's right. building discomfort — ahead? that's right. building discomfort in _ ahead? that's right. building discomfort in the _ ahead? that's right. building discomfort in the labour - ahead? that's right. building - discomfort in the labour movement generally and particularly in parliament among labour mps. we will see at the tuc today in a sign of how disappointed unions are in keir starmer. two big left—wing unions, the pcs and unite calling on keir starmer to change course. they may well be joined starmer to change course. they may well bejoined in starmer to change course. they may well be joined in the coming days starmer to change course. they may well bejoined in the coming days by unions which are generally more supportive of keir starmer. i think what that demonstrates is how people on the left are uneasy with this decision to means test the winter fuel allowance. tomorrow there will be a vote in the house of commons on that decision announced by rachel reeves, the chancellor, back in july. that there will pass. the winter fuel allowance will be means tested, it will be withdrawn from pensioners except those on the pension credit. but the question is at what cost to keir starmer�*s

authority? i think dozens of labour mps are considering rebelling against the government when that vote takes place tomorrow. the pattern of these things is that almost all of them ultimately won�*t repel. and some of them are more likely to abstain rather than to vote against and risk being suspended as labour mps. rachel reeves will try to persuade them in a meeting behind closed doors of the parliamentary labour party tonight that they have to make these tough decisions to get the public finances in order. that is an argument they are trying to make to the general public. but they are going to have to persuade labour mps first. henry, thank you. henry mentioning the unions. in a few minutes nina will be speaking to the general secretary of the tuc. great 0rmond street children�*s hospital says it is reviewing the cases of more than 700 patients, after allegations concerning the possible negligence of a former doctor. yaserjabaar worked as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon for five years, from 2017 to 2022. the hospital says its taking

the matter incredibly seriously. 0ur correspondent nickjohnson 0ur correspondent nickjohnson is at the london hospital. is at the london hospital. the inquiries arejust beginning and the inquiries arejust beginning and a lot of families will be concerned? a lot of families will be concerned? that�*s right. they might have to that�*s right. they might have to wait another year to understand the wait another year to understand the full outcome of this review. but full outcome of this review. but this all came to light when great this all came to light when great 0rmond street asked the royal 0rmond street asked the royal couege 0rmond street asked the royal college of surgeons to carry out a couege 0rmond street asked the royal college of surgeons to carry out a wider review into the hospital�*s wider review into the hospital�*s orthopaedic practice is back in orthopaedic practice is back in 2022. that was a result of concerns 2022. that was a result of concerns raised by families and staff raised by families and staff members. as a result of that review members. as a result of that review concerns were raised about one concerns were raised about one doctor. that prompted the hospital doctor. that prompted the hospital to get in touch with the to get in touch with the families of 721 patients. all of families of 721 patients. all of

those patients were treated by yaser those patients were treated by yaser jabbar. he is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon. he worked here at great 0rmond street

great 0rmond street says they have contacted all patients and families who have been impacted and offered their sincere apologies for the worry and uncertainty caused. yaser jabbar no longer works for great 0rmond street. he has had his licence to practice in the uk moved since january —— or removed. we understand he is still working at a clinic in dubai. the bbc is trying to contacted for comment. still waiting to hear. thank you. hollywood actor idris elba willjoin the prime minister in launching a new coalition to tackle knife crime today. the project will try to stop young people from getting involved in violent gangs. it will bring together campaign groups, families of those who�*ve lost their lives, and young people who have been affected by knife crime. the taliban 5 public health ministry has told the bbc that in the past six months, 700 children have died of malnutrition and diseases at a hospital in eastern afghanistan. many parts of the country are seeing record levels of malnutrition — with an estimated 3.2 million children suffering from an acute

form of the condition. more local authorities in england will be given powers to run their own bus services, under legislation being laid before parliament today. since 2010, the number of registered bus routes have fallen from 17,000 to 9,000, but this law would allow councils to franchise services to private companies, but decide their own routes, timetables and fares. northern ireland�*s power—sharing coalition is expected to set out its key priorities for the next few years today. the plan was signed off by the four parties in the stormont executive last week. there has been some criticism that it�*s taken seven months since the restoration of devolution for the programme to be negotiated. a public inquiry into the deaths of more than 2,000 mental health patients in essex will open this morning, after years of campaigning

by bereaved relatives. the lampard inquiry will examine deaths of inpatients at successive nhs trusts over 23 years, and the findings?could have implications for mental healthcare more widely. 0ur east of england health correspondent nikki fox reports. hi. two days ago, i was sectioned in the mental hospital. the 999 call that 20—year—old matthew leahy made from inside a mental health unit in chelmsford in essex in 2012. since being here, i�*ve been raped and the doctors refuse to acknowledge it. four days later, he was found unresponsive. no charges were brought, but the trust failed to follow its own rape allegation procedures. his care plan was falsified after death. we are fighting to keep loved ones, the next generation, alive. for a decade, matthew�*s mother, melanie, has led the calls for a public inquiry. he was an honest boy. initially, he got involved with

the trust because he needed help, and he went out and asked for that. he didn't ask to die. three years ago, the trust that runs mental health care in essex was fined more than £1 million because its wards were unsafe. mps said they should have listened earlier. i want to say to the families, they were right and we were wrong, and i�*m sorry that that was the case. lisa morris lost her son ben after he died at the same unit. she�*s among dozens of relatives that have joined together to get answers. what gives you the strength to keep going on? ben. ben gives me the strength, because he was just innocent in all this. he didn�*t deserve any of this. essex partnership university trust says many of the 2,000 deaths are people who died of natural causes. but it says it will continue to do all it can to support the inquiry. 0ne law firm representing more than 100 families says that�*s crucial.

this is as important as the post office inquiry, as the infected blood inquiry. these are some of the most vulnerable of our society. the inquiry�*s chaired by baroness kate lampard, who led the nhs investigation into abuse byjimmy saville. if the government accepts her recommendations, there could be wide ranging implications for mental health care across the nhs. nikki fox, bbc news. time to go to matt with the weather. it is not brilliant news, is it? despite the rainbow! it it is not brilliant news, is it? despite the rainbow! it is not brilliant news, is it? desite the rainbow! , , ., despite the rainbow! it depends what sort of weather _ despite the rainbow! it depends what sort of weather you _ despite the rainbow! it depends what sort of weather you like. _ despite the rainbow! it depends what sort of weather you like. some - sort of weather you like. some people are looking forward to the darker nights and cosying up in something warmer. you will certainly get your chance this week. a more autumnalfeel, especially get your chance this week. a more autumnal feel, especially the get your chance this week. a more autumnalfeel, especially the middle part of the week. plenty of showers at times. it will be wendy but it is

an employment rights bill this autumn which could see big changes in the way we work. deputy prime minister angela rayner says new laws would ban the exploitative use of zero—hours contracts and end other practices like fire and rehire, where businesses have tried to dismiss workers and hire them back again straight away, but on worse deals. flexible working would be strengthened, as at the moment, bosses don�*t have to agree to requests from workers. and that could include the right to a four—day week. the tuc leader, paul nowak, will be giving a keynote speech at their conference later this morning. we can speak to him now. good morning. we havejust outlined the employment rights bill described by the prime minister is the biggest upgrade to work as�* writes in a generation. is this government meeting your needs?— generation. is this government meetint ourneeds? ., , meeting your needs? most importantly i think he is meeting _ meeting your needs? most importantly i think he is meeting the _ meeting your needs? most importantly

available for those pensioners who aren�*t well—off by any means, to make sure they are not frightened to use the heating this winter. but i think it�*s fair to say the chancellor has a huge range of challenges. she has been bequeathed a toxic economic legacy by the previous comment. there are a of things she needs to fix. the state of the public services, the fact we have a universal credit system not fit for purpose. but as i say i hope in the budget she will set out the support, notjust for pensioners, support, not just for pensioners, but support, notjust for pensioners, but those on low pay, those in receipt of things like sickness allowance, it�*s important she looks at all of those things in the round. just to be clear, you wouldn�*t be asking the prime minister to reverse this policy? you say if it does put people under the threshold, support should come in the budget? i think we will be debating _ should come in the budget? i think we will be debating this _ should come in the budget? i think we will be debating this issue - should come in the budget? i think we will be debating this issue this. we will be debating this issue this week. it is very likely our unions will ask the chancellor to rethink that decision around winter fuel allowance. i think the chancellor, the whole of the government and

indeed everyone down here at the tuc congress this week will want to make sure that pensioners aren�*t in a position where they can�*t put on the heating this winter. we will debate that this week. i think it is right to the chancellor should rethink those plans and thicker by the support she put in place for pensioners. support she put in place for pensioners-— support she put in place for pensioners. there have been questions — pensioners. there have been questions about _ pensioners. there have been questions about the - pensioners. there have been questions about the timing, l pensioners. there have been i questions about the timing, the blunt nature of the policy. are you worried this damages the crit ability of a labour chancellor? i don't think it's about credibility. don�*t think it�*s about credibility. it is about the real impact on people�*s lives. the chancellor has a huge range of economic challenges. repairing the public services after 14 years of neglect. i can�*t think of one public service better now. we have an economy that has not delivered increases in living standards for the thick end of a decade or more. there are a big set of challenges for the new chancellor. 0ne of challenges for the new chancellor. one of the things we will be sang at congress today is we need to work with government to address some of these big economic

challenges and get the uk economy growing again, crucially to put money in people�*s pockets and improve their living standards. latte improve their living standards. we know that most nhs workers, police officers, civil servants, know that most nhs workers, police officers, civilservants, members of the armed forces, are seeing those above inflation wage rises.

retaining staff, how we are using technology in public services. these are big challenges but when we can crack if we work together. the federation _ crack if we work together. the federation of _ crack if we work together. the federation of small businesses has voiced concerns around the employment rights bill. they sayjob creation is being stifled, investment is being stifled, and businesses are scared to grow because they won�*t be able to meet this bill? i because they won't be able to meet this bill? , ., �* , ., this bill? i 'ust don't see that happening — this bill? ijust don't see that happening on _ this bill? ijust don't see that happening on the _ this bill? ijust don't see that happening on the ground. . this bill? ijust don't see that| happening on the ground. we published researchjust happening on the ground. we published research just a happening on the ground. we published researchjust a couple happening on the ground. we published research just a couple of days ago that showed the overwhelming majority of managers in this country think that improved employment rights will be good for productivity. when you speak to businesses, the real issues we have had in our economy is that we can�*t get the skills staff that businesses need from hospitality to engineering to working in social care. some of these voices were saying 25 years ago the national minimum wage would be bad for the economy. they were wrong then, they are wrong now. improved employment rights are good for workers, improved employment rights are good forworkers, good improved employment rights are good for workers, good for business and good for the uk overall.— good for the uk overall. thank you for our good for the uk overall. thank you for yourtime- _

they�*re put into storage containers. each of the containers that you can see in these giant ponds is a container of old nuclear fuel, and it stays here for 180 days, cooling, and the water acts as a kind of radiation shield. eventually, this high level radioactive waste goes into storage on site. and sellafield also handles contaminated material from inside nuclear power plants that are being shut down. concrete is a radiation barrier, and locked inside these boxes is metal and other substances from old nuclearfacilities. it�*s a legacy of hazardous waste that�*s been piling up here since the 1980s. are you still dealing with that? yeah. yeah, and we'll be dealing with that for a number of decades to come. our programme at sellafield in total is more than 100 years into the future. in recent years, leaks in ageing facilities here have had to be plugged. and as the site operates 24 hours a day dealing with the waste of past and present, its running

costs exceed £2 billion a year. as you can see, the site is very congested, so if we don�*t have a permanent solution for the waste, we could run out of space on the site for building interim storage facilities. so if it can�*t stay here permanently, what is the plan? this is material that requires almost unimaginably long term storage. this material is really quite hazardous, and it remains hazardous for 100,000 years. scientists use nontoxic chemical copies of nuclear waste to test ways to make the materials safe. the fuel pellets we dissolve up into what you can see in this bottle here, this green goo, highly radioactive liquid. from a storage point of view, that's not a very safe thing because it could leak out of the storage drums. so you make it into a solid? exactly. here, researchers demonstrate how the material is baked into solid glass to stabilise

it before it�*s stored. so, at the moment, the waste is being stored above ground at sellafield in safe and secure buildings. but eventually we need to isolate it from future populations, or even civilisations. that's the timescale we're looking at. in finland, they�*ve already built a vast bunker deep underground. hundreds of metres of rock acts as a permanent barrier. and the government plans to build a similar geological disposal facility here in the uk. it�*s going to take around ten years to find somewhere in england or wales, with the right rocks and willing local residents. two possible locations have been ruled out, leaving a shortlist of three. in one area, there have been protests. in theddlethorpe, lincolnshire, some residents are concerned this would be a blight that would threaten the tourist industry in their seaside town. the other two are in cumbria, one here in midcopeland. you can see sellafield right over my shoulder here. it�*s minutes from this community and a huge employer.

i think because we�*re used to sellafield, we�*d probably get used to a depository a lot better than other parts of the country. i think there�*d be a lot of resistance if you took it somewhere where they haven�*t got that sort of nuclear awareness. it's fine, absolutely fine, yeah. we've lived here all our lives. it doesn't bother us. it brings jobs to local people, doesn't it? i and that's what we're all about, really. - so what i'm going to show you on the next slide... but thoroughly assessing each site and continuing to consult with the communities is a long process. there've been surveys done and the geology's looking, you know, as if it's doable. um, and we're also engaging with the communities to share that with them. and at some point in the future, this community, and this community only, will decide if it's right or wrong for them. meanwhile, at sellafield, the waste continues to pile up. with new nuclear power plants part of the government�*s low carbon energy plan, there�*ll be more to come and it will all need to be locked away permanently. victoria gill, bbc news.

allow to talk about. we will be talking about the early release of thousands of prisoners potentially in a couple of minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i�*m victoria cook. starting from tomorrow, the government plans to release around 5,500 prisoners early to free upjail space. non—violent and non—sexual offenders will start being let out after serving 40% of their sentence. bbc london�*s been looking at what work opportunities are currently available for former prisoners, and has spoken to one who says opportunities offered by businesses are a lifeline. they spoke to me and gave me options, and that�*s where they brought up iceland delivery driver. didn�*t mind the sound of it, and it�*s local to me, only ten minutes. it did feel good.

it made the future look a bit better. for a lot of people, i can see it being a big lifeline. some residents in chingford took up the art of weaving this weekend, many for the first time, and it was all to commemorate a newly—named stretch of the london 0verg round. it�*s called the weaver line, and it connects liverpool street with spitalfields, enfield town, and chingford. it�*s been named in recognition of the area�*s historic textiles trade. locals have been working together to make a woven version of the 0verground sign to mark the launch. really excited about the new names for the new lines. it�*s going to make it so much easier to get around. i love crafting, so it's a way of finding another craft and learning something different. he's already saying he's - going to buy me a little loom for my christmas present. it�*s on order. jenna 0rtega�*s viral wednesday dress and michele pfeiffer�*s catwoman suit are among 600 items which will go on display as part

of a new exhibition on the career of tim burton. held at london�*s design museum, the world of tim burton will take visitors through artefacts from across the director�*s five—decade career, beginning with unreleased projects from the start of his career and finishing at his most recent film, 2024�*s beetlejuice beetlejuice. the exhibition comes to london after a decade—long world tour. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. everything is running 0k at the moment according to the tfl website. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, after the humid conditions of the last few days, it is set to get cooler today, and over the next few days. for today, largely cloudy, could get some patchy rain around as well, especially first thing this morning. it�*s quite breezy, too, that north—westerly breeze. towards the end of the afternoon, might just start to see that cloud break, especially in the west. some brighter spells. temperatures, though, 16—18 celsius, slowly they are dipping down. 0vernight, the cloud will clear,

we�*ll get some clear skies. temperatures will drop, it will be quite a chilly night, minimum temperature in single figures, dropping down to around 8 celsius. a bright start to tuesday, got some sunshine, but you will notice the cloud will then again start to increase, we are looking at some rain as we head through the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow, again we are looking at 18 celsius. the wind more westerly tomorrow, and it is still relatively fresh. now, as we head towards the mid part of the week, the temperatures drop even further, mid—teens celsius, feeling slightly warmer again by the end of the week. that�*s it from us for now. we�*ll be back in half an hour, but for now, i�*ll hand you back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast. thousands of prisoners are expected to be released early from tomorrow in efforts to ease

overcrowding, but it�*s prompted fears of homelessness and reoffending. the government said it�*s inherited a justice system in crisis and must alleviate the pressure on jails, but there are concerns that those released won�*t be able to find accommodation. georgia poncia reports. each year, thousands of people are released from prison with nowhere to live. i released from prison with nowhere to live. ., �* ., ., , , ., live. i don't want to sleep on the street. live. i don't want to sleep on the street- you _ live. i don't want to sleep on the street. you come live. i don't want to sleep on the street. you come out, live. i don't want to sleep on the street. you come out, the live. i don't want to sleep on the street. you come out, the world live. i don't want to sleep on the street. you come out, the world is different, street. you come out, the world is different. you _ street. you come out, the world is different, you end _ street. you come out, the world is different, you end up— street. you come out, the world is different, you end up getting - street. you come out, the world is different, you end up getting intol different, you end up getting into trouble deliberately to get put back inside. and there are one the issue could be about to get worse as the government releases more prisoners early to stop jails from overcrowding —— there are warnings. we don�*t have the prisoners we need. we don�*t have the prisoners we need. we face the prospect of a total breakdown of law and order. the number of _ breakdown of law and order. tie: number of prisoners being breakdown of law and order. ti9: number of prisoners being released and forced to sleep on the streets is on the rise. jacob is one of

released on licence and can be recalled if they commit further offences. so there�*s a whole range offences. so there�*s a whole range of things that are already in place to make sure that tomorrow goes as well as we can expect, but clearly nobody wants to be doing this. do you know exactly how many prisoners will be released tomorrow? i understand it is in the region of about 1700. understand it is in the region of about 1700-— understand it is in the region of about 1700. :, ., ,, ., :, about 1700. you talked about how those who were _ about 1700. you talked about how those who were guilty _ about 1700. you talked about how those who were guilty of - about 1700. you talked about how those who were guilty of the - about 1700. you talked about how those who were guilty of the most serious crimes will not be eligible for release, but we do know that thatis for release, but we do know that that is changing slightly, isn�*t it? we know that initially the government has said the early release scheme will not apply to the most serious offenders, but if offenders have served time and have a less serious sentence that is running concurrently, they might be eligible for the lease.— eligible for the lease. clearly the ministry of _ eligible for the lease. clearly the ministry ofjustice _ eligible for the lease. clearly the ministry ofjustice have - eligible for the lease. clearly the ministry ofjustice have been - ministry ofjustice have been working through exactly who will be released. i know from the home office perspective, as i say, the home secretary and the safeguarding minister have been trawling through all of this to make sure that for

instance around domestic abuse, there are safeguards in place to ensure that if there are any concerns, particularly around those perpetrators of domestic abuse, who might not be imprisoned for a domestic abuse offence but perhaps there is a of abuse, that there are measures in place to inform the victims of domestic abuse, to refer to the local committee on a particular air where they can assess risk, if there are children involved, there are referrals through to social services and councils, so that is a whole range of things that are being done to protect the public. i of things that are being done to protect the public.— protect the public. i know that today you _ protect the public. i know that today you are _ protect the public. i know that today you are announcing - protect the public. i know that today you are announcing a i protect the public. i know that i today you are announcing a new coalition to tackle knife crime. it is interesting timing, being able to do that, a crackdown on knife crime in a week that criminals are going to be released from jail.— to be released from “ail. clearly, knife enme h to be released from “ail. clearly, knife crime over— to be released from “ail. clearly, knife crime over the_ to be released fromjail. clearly, knife crime over the last - to be released fromjail. clearly, knife crime over the last decade | to be released from jail. clearly, -

knife crime over the last decade has increased, and as the prime minister has said, it is a national emergency that we deal with this. so today the prime minister in downing street with the home secretary is having his first meeting to address this problem. we have made it very clear in our manifesto that we want to have knife crime over the next ten years, over the next decade... hope years, over the next decade... how do ou years, over the next decade... how do you do — years, over the next decade... how do you do that? _ years, over the next decade... how do you do that? i _ years, over the next decade... how do you do that? i think— years, over the next decade... how do you do that? i think there - years, over the next decade... how do you do that? i think there are i do you do that? i think there are very practical— do you do that? i think there are very practical things, _ do you do that? i think there are very practical things, you - do you do that? i think there are very practical things, you will. very practical things, you will know that this month the ban on zombie modes will actually be introduced. we are now working on what we do around ninja swords. we have the horrific case in wolverhampton in 2022 where a young man was killed by a ninja sword that have been obtained on the internet with no checks, and that killer picked up that sword at the post office. no checks at all. so one of the things today will be announcing that we are going to get the lead for the national police chiefs�* council on

knife crime to look at where the gaps are in our online legislation, so we can start to address that as well and introduce the ban on ninja swords. so there are various practical steps we can introduce alongside the preventative work that we must do with our young people so the young futures programme, again in our manifesto, setting up hubs to work with young people who are getting themselves into difficulty, who might find themselves involved in criminal gangs, to work with them early on. so there are various practical things we are doing, but todayis practical things we are doing, but today is about bringing that coalition together of families that have been affected by knife crime, to work together to see what we can do, and also to hold the government accountable for our promise in that manifesto that we made. iterate accountable for our promise in that manifesto that we made.— accountable for our promise in that manifesto that we made. we know that the prime minister _ manifesto that we made. we know that the prime minister faces _ manifesto that we made. we know that the prime minister faces a _ manifesto that we made. we know that the prime minister faces a potential - the prime ministerfaces a potential rebellion tomorrow over winter fuel payments, your colleague yesterday said on bbc breakfast that she is

planning to abstain on that vote. would you support colleagues who feel the need to do that?- would you support colleagues who feel the need to do that? again, we are faced with _ feel the need to do that? again, we are faced with a _ feel the need to do that? again, we are faced with a really _ are faced with a really difficult inheritance from the last government. what i know in the home office, for example, is that we have an overspend of £6.4 billion that the previous government had not accounted for, had not made money available for that. so i think the chancellor across government is having to make some very difficult decisions. she has identified £22 billion that we need to find, so i don�*t think anybody wants to see this puzzle around the winter fuel allowance brought in, but actually it is the prime minister has said, we are going to have to make some tough decisions. but we are going to have to make some tough decisions.— tough decisions. but they are decisions. — tough decisions. but they are decisions, they _ tough decisions. but they are decisions, they are _ tough decisions. but they are decisions, they are choices, i tough decisions. but they are| decisions, they are choices, it tough decisions. but they are i decisions, they are choices, it is tough decisions. but they are - decisions, they are choices, it is a decisions, they are choices, it is a decision that your government is making. decision that your government is makint. :, :, , decision that your government is makin.. . ., , ., :, :, making. yeah, and it is a tough one, but one that — making. yeah, and it is a tough one, but one that l _ making. yeah, and it is a tough one, but one that i think— making. yeah, and it is a tough one, but one that i think the _ but one that i think the chancellor of the seville�*s we need to make. ——

the chancellor obviously feels we need to make. she is working with the energy minister is looking at social tariff to try to deal with the fact that our energy bills are so high and to bring those down, and we know that this government is committed to the triple lock on pensions as well. so i think there are various things that we can see alongside this really very difficult decision. i understand the many mps... this is a very hard decision. i myself have lots of constituents contact me, so i know how difficult this is. : , :, contact me, so i know how difficult thisis.: , ,, contact me, so i know how difficult thisis. , ,, _ this is. are you surprised by the reaction? _ this is. are you surprised by the reaction? and _ this is. are you surprised by the reaction? and is _ this is. are you surprised by the reaction? and is there - this is. are you surprised by the reaction? and is there any - reaction? and is there any possibility that you might reconsider this decision? ida. possibility that you might reconsider this decision? no, i am not surprised _ reconsider this decision? no, i am not surprised by — reconsider this decision? no, i am not surprised by the _ reconsider this decision? no, i am not surprised by the amount - reconsider this decision? no, i am not surprised by the amount of. not surprised by the amount of concern that there is about this, and obviously we do not want to see anybody struggling with energy bills, particularly pensioners. we know the winter fuel allowance is not a targeted benefit at the moment, but it is going to be

targeted, and that is why it is so important that the poorest pensioners are getting everything they are entitled to to support them. we know that there are hundreds of thousands of pensioners who are not claiming that and should do, but alongside that, we genuinely want to get energy bills down. we know over the past few years what trouble that has caused to household budgets and the cost of living crisis, so there is a lot of work going on around that social tariff for the poorest members of our society to benefit from the charges that energy companies make. dame diana johnson. _ that energy companies make. dame diana johnson, thank— that energy companies make. dame diana johnson, thank you. _ that energy companies make. dame diana johnson, thank you. thank - that energy companies make. dame | diana johnson, thank you. thank you very much- — we are reflecting this morning on a fantastic couple of weeks at the paralympics. good morning.

for paralympics gb, the games have been both succesful and memorable in equal measure as the curtain came down in paris with a sparkling closing ceremony, after the team secured their final gold medal of the games, their 49th, as andy swiss reports. it was the moment an extraordinary summer of sport was finally over. the paralympic flame extinguished before one last parisian party, as a parade of djs give the world�*s athletes a perfect sendoff. earlier, not even the weather could dampen the closing ceremony.

a spectacle of sound and colour before the competitors once again took centre stage. and as the athletes danced in the rain, the head of the games paid tribute to the host in the most glowing terms. paris 2024 has set a benchmark for all future paralympic games. you staged the most spectacular paralympic games ever. it was some games for britain, too. laura sugar�*s gold in the kayaking was the 49th and last of a the paralympics which delivered wherever you look. the team�*s success has spanned all ages and sports. once again, they were second in the medals table, and their chef de mission says their breadth of success

has been remarkable. i think it has been again the blend of the team, 18 sports have medalled, and the 19th sport had a medal match, and that strength in depth has always been fabulous for team morale and for the team dynamic. for paris as well, this has been a special paralympics. los angeles in four years�* time certainly has a tough act to follow. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. there was another late defeat for scotland, who are in the middle of their worst run in history, but manager steve clarke insists that doesn�*t tell the whole story. after defeat to poland last week, they opened the scoring through scott mctominay, that gave them a great start. but bruno fernandez equalised and that set it up for either side

to go on an get the winner. butjust as scotland had been undone by a late goal against poland, so it was again, as cristiano ronaldo made it 2—1 to portugal, that is the 901st goal of his career. it leaves scotland with only one win in 14 matches. northern ireland�*s good run of form recent form came to an end as they lost 1—0 away to bulgaria in the nations league. a mistake in the first half by northern ireland goalkeeper bailey peacock—farrell presented bulgaria with the chance to score the only goal. and kiril despodov�*s goal was enough as northern ireland struggled to test their opponents in pursuit of an equaliser. wales are back in action tonight. it looked like it was going to be the perfect summer of cricket for england — six tests and six wins, but that run is in the balance heading into the fourth day of the final test with sri lanka. with the series already secured, there was a batting

collapse from england who were all out for 156, it would have been a lot worse were it not forjamie smith who made 67. it means sri lanka have been haded two days to hit 219 runs, and they�*ve already chalked off 94 of them, so just need 125 more. the man who ended jack draper�*s run at the us open has lifted the men�*s singles title. jannik sinner, the world number one, who beat draper in three sets in the semis, beat home favourite taylor fritz in the final at flushing meadows, to land his second grand slam title of the season, winning this one for the first time. and england�*s matt wallace ended his six—year wait for a win on the dp world tour with a dramatic victory at the european masters in switzerland. wallace saw a four—shot overnight lead evaporate as spain�*s alfredo garcia—heredia forced a playoff, but the englishman held his nerve to seal victory. relief etched on his face at the end which soon gave way to delight. that was a hard day. felt like i played all right. sorry for the tears. �* :, , .,

falling in the space of 24 our is. we shouldn�*t see anything quite as wet is that this week, but still some rain around times, fairly shallow conditions, when they are and we went at have a noticeable jump to it as we go through the middle part of the week. even out there this morning feeling a bit fresher, lots of cloud across central and eastern parts of england as well as the north west, some outbreaks of rain and drizzle. the heaviest bursts of that tending to be towards the eastern most counties, lingering across east anglia later. sunny spells developing elsewhere before the cloud thickens up in western scotland and northern again later. the wind is a bit fresher than they have been for a while, the temperatures lower, but should still feel quite pleasant where we do get the sunshine out in some parts of the sunshine out in some parts of the north west of england, wales, eastern scotland. western scotland and northern ireland, more rain pushing its way and, coming and going across northern ireland to begin with, but the rain will turn heavy at times overnight. not raining all night long, but as we have a burst move in, we will see me

wince and strengthen towards tomorrow morning, gale force winds across the north. the rain band will move south through tomorrow, introducing much chillier conditions so by the time we get to wednesday, forget the mid to high 20s we saw at the end of last week, you will be lucky to hit the mid—teens. it will feel like autumn. more on that later. matt, thank you, definitely feels like autumn. to mark the 80th anniversary of d—day this summer, hundreds of knitters from around the world recreated 80 scenes from the operation, including the iconic beach landings. the longest yarn has been on display in normandy for several months, but now it�*s back in the uk. john maguire is in nottinghamshire where the exhibition opens this morning.

if you�*re alarm didn�*t work this morning, you won�*t have heard that because you are asleep. if you remember the movie the longest day, one of the scenes depicted in these 80 panels now here in nottinghamshire, in the uk for the first time. an incredible piece of work, efficient, really, it is to commemorate 80 years of the day, thatis commemorate 80 years of the day, that is why there are 80 panels, and shows lots of different scenes from the to division, the invasion itself, and in the aftermath with the battle for normandy —— d—day. an extraordinary sight, you�*re able to come and see it in the uk now for the first time, it has been in

france sincejune. here�*s the background to where it all came from, the story itself. the design, the detail, the dedication involved in the 80 panels that make up longest yarn, are simply incredible. each a metre long, they depict a scene from the epic d—day movie of the longest day. the number was chosen to mark 80 years since the allied invasion into northern france which was injune. painstaking detail displayed in stitches. 0ften painstaking detail displayed in stitches. often they had a personal reason for getting involved. mr; reason for getting involved. my father reason for getting involved. ijj father lost reason for getting involved. ii father lost his reason for getting involved. ii1: father lost his brother reason for getting involved. ii1 father lost his brother on d—day and we have never really had the story, nobody from the family had ever been there before. we went to the american ceremony and did a little

pcs and unite, that between them represent more than 1.2 million workers, are calling on the government to ditch this policy. tomorrow, congress will vote on a motion that makes it clear that they�*re opposed to the winter fuel payment cut. and we�*re expecting pretty much everyone in this hall to support that. in the last few minutes the general secretary of the tuc, paul nowak, has been telling bbc breakfast that he thinks it is time for the chancellor of the exchequer, rachel reeves, to have a rethink. i think we�*re going to be debating i think we're going to be debating this issue — i think we're going to be debating this issue this week at congress. i think— this issue this week at congress. i think it's — this issue this week at congress. i think it's very likely our unions will ask— think it's very likely our unions will ask the chancellor to rethink the decision around winter fuel allowance. i think the chancellor, the whole — allowance. i think the chancellor, the whole of the government, and indeed _ the whole of the government, and indeed everyone down here at the tuc congress _ indeed everyone down here at the tuc congress this week, will want to make _ congress this week, will want to make sure — congress this week, will want to make sure that pensioners aren't in a position— make sure that pensioners aren't in a position where they can't put on

their— a position where they can't put on their heating this winter. we will debate _ their heating this winter. we will debate that this week. i think it is right— debate that this week. i think it is right the — debate that this week. i think it is right the chancellor should rethink those _ right the chancellor should rethink those plans, think about the support she put— those plans, think about the support she put in— those plans, think about the support she put in place for pensioners. ithink— she put in place for pensioners. i think what's striking is what i think what�*s striking is what people have been saying in private. there are union figures who are normally supportive of the labour leadership who have been criticising the handling of this policy. they think it has been a bit politically inept. they think there has been poor communication of the policy by the government. thank you. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster this morning. morning. growing pressure on the prime minister, who has said he is prepared to be unpopular. that is about to be tested?— about to be tested? that's right. there is certainly _ about to be tested? that's right. there is certainly lots _ about to be tested? that's right. there is certainly lots of- about to be tested? that's right. there is certainly lots of unease | about to be tested? that's right. i there is certainly lots of unease in the parliamentary labour party among labour mps at this decision to means test the winter fuel allowance. we will find out how much on east tomorrow, which is when the house of

commons will vote on it. —— unease. spoiler alert, this motion will pass, the government will win. the winter fuel allowance will be means tested. that is a parliamentary fact. keir starmer poz—mac government has a vast majority. they will win votes they want to win. but at what cost to his authority? that is the for the next 24, 36 hours. those labour mps number in their dozens. 12 of them have signed a non—binding motion stating that if they disagree with the government on this. keir starmer had actually a dicey parliamentary vote very early in his tenure went seven labour mps voted against him. they were effectively suspended as labour mps. effectively suspended as labour mp5. i think the general consensus is that he wouldn�*t do that this time, but nevertheless the possibility, which is not being ruled out, means that most of those potential rabbits are likely to abstain rather than

vote against him. rachel reeves, the chancellor, will try to win over labour mps in a meeting behind closed doors this evening, where she will tell them they have to make tough decisions. it is notable that is the same argument of this government is making in public. they clearly feel they have to persuade their own mps first. thank you. we will be following that story as pressure grows on the prime minister throughout the day. jon has more of the news. great 0rmond street children�*s hospital says it is reviewing the cases of more than 700 patients after allegations concerning the possible negligence of a former doctor. yaserjabbar worked as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon for five years from 2017 to 2022. the hospital says its taking the matter incredibly seriously. 0ur correspondent nickjohnson is at the london hospital. a lot of families anxiously waiting for more information? that

a lot of families anxiously waiting for more information?— a lot of families anxiously waiting for more information? that is right. they will probably _ for more information? that is right. they will probably have _ for more information? that is right. they will probably have to - for more information? that is right. they will probably have to wait i for more information? that is right. they will probably have to wait at i they will probably have to wait at least another year for the full details of this review. but the hospital does say it has contacted all of the patient and the families they believe to be impacted. these all came to light when great 0rmond street asked the royal college of surgeons to carry out a wider review into its orthopaedic practices. that was back in 2022. and as a result of concerns raised by some family members and staff. as a result of that review, concerns focused on a doctor. that prompted the hospital to get in touch with the families of 721 patients. all of those patients were treated by yaserjabbar. he was a consultant orthopaedic surgeon here at great 0rmond street between 2017 and 2022. the hospital says of

the 39 cases it has reviewed so far, 22 of those children have come to some harm. 13, it says, severely. lawyers for some of the patients treated by yaserjabbar say some children as young as four months old underwent unnecessary surgery, and underwent unnecessary surgery, and some underwent unnecessary surgery, and some have suffered life changing injuries as a result. clients that we have been instructed to represent in claims against mrjabbar have suffered a variety of orthopaedic injuries. some of them have nerve damage, some of them have muscle damage. we have a client that has undergone an amputation of his lower limb. we have clients that have permanent deformities, that have undergone unnecessary operations as well. great 0rmond street says it has contacted all of the patients and families affected and offered its

sincere apologies. yaserjabbar had his license to practice in the uk removed injanuary. but we understand he is still working at a clinic in dubai. the bbc has contacted him for comment. but we are still waiting to hear back from him. thank you. hollywood actor idris elba willjoin the prime minister in launching a new coalition to tackle knife crime today. the project will try to stop young people from getting involved in violent gangs. it will bring together campaign groups, families of those who�*ve lost their lives, and young people who have been affected by knife crime. all the taliban 5 public health ministry has told the bbc that in the past six months, 700 children have died of malnutrition and diseases at a hospital in eastern afghanistan. many parts of the country are seeing record levels of malnutrition — with an estimated 3.2 million children suffering from an acute form of the condition. a public inquiry into the deaths of more than 2,000 mental health patients

in essex will open this morning, after years of campaigning by bereaved relatives. the lampard inquiry will examine deaths of inpatients at successive nhs trusts over 23 years, and the findings?could have implications for mental healthcare more widely. more local authorities in england will be given powers to run their own bus services, under legislation being laid before parliament today. since 2010 the number of registered bus routes have fallen from 17,000 to 9,000, but this law would allow councils to franchise services to private companies, but decide their own routes, timetables and fares. northern ireland�*s power—sharing coalition is expected to set out its key priorities for the next few years today. there has been some criticism that it has taken seven months since the restoration of devolution for the plans to be announced. 0ur ireland correspondent sara girvin is at stormont.

will after all that waiting, all that build—up, what will people in northern ireland here today? yes. northern ireland here today? yes, tood northern ireland here today? yes, good morning- _ northern ireland here today? yes, good morning. the _ northern ireland here today? i93 good morning. the northern ireland executive agreed a draft programme for government late last week, setting out nine priorities. those include things like childcare, tackling health waiting lists, which are the longest in the uk, and ending violence against women and girls. but so far there has been no more detail. they are setting out what they want to achieve but not how they are actually going to do it. this is actually the first programme for government there has been here at stormont for more than a decade. that is because of several periods of political collapse when this place was not setting at all. then came covid, which lost a few more days. stormont has been back up and running for more than seven months now. there has been a lot of criticism that it has taken so long

to get to this point. in terms of what today will bring, we are expecting a statement in the assembly behind me by the first minister and deputy first minister at about midday. then we are told this programme for government will go out for a period of public consultation. that will take about eight weeks. after so long of living in a place that has essentially become a political vacuum, as you can imagine people here in northern ireland have their own ideas about what stormont should prioritise. we will be hearing some of their thoughts a little bit later on here in bbc breakfast. sarah, thank you. we will speak to you later. here on breakfast row we are always the champion of a minority sport, haps unusual pastimes. we love to see people, and their pets, doing unusual things. especially the pets. after a summer of sport look at what they have been doing in california over the past couple of days. yes, it is dog surfing. it is a time

with issues like critical care, the availability or not of ppe in hospitals, infection control and the impact on patient and a lot of other related issues. the inquiries —— or the inquiry says this exercise called every story matters with statements or interviews with more than 30,000 people is really important because they will be collected in one document which will be tabled as evidence and can be referred to by lawyers who will be beginning their submissions today. but the covid bereaved families for justice group is saying they don�*t feel they have enough representation. 0nly feel they have enough representation. only two of their witnesses are being called. the answer to that from an inquiry spokesperson is, they have put the experiences and view of families of the bereaved and the bereaved right at the centre of their work. thank you. 0ur health reporterjim reed went to speak to some of those affected. at the worst point, i didn�*t

want to live any longer. i woke up, i couldn't remember my children's names. my lungs were white. i had got covid pneumonia. every single household across the country lived through covid in a different way. everything in you hasjust drained, it�*sjust gone. the first person i met, mandy, was a community midwife when reports of a new virus emerged. like anybody in health care, we were really struggling, trying to get equipment was absolutely horrendous. mandy still finds it hard to breathe, even after our short walk. she spent three weeks in hospital after catching covid at work at the height of the pandemic. bit breathless. going back up, so it�*s fine. that�*s what happens to me when i do anything. i hadn�*t got the strength to walk into the hospital, so my poor husband had to go and get

a wheelchairfor me. he then had to turn round... sorry. he had to turn round and walk away. at that point, the stats were coming out on how many people were dying of covid, and... sorry. ..how many health care professionals were dying. more than 30,000 people like mandy in places from ipswich to inverness have spoken to the covid inquiry. good morning. we are gathering people's stories and experience of| the lockdown for an i independent inquiry. it'sjust over here. it�*s now starting to tackle its next subject, the nhs and health care. i caught covid and ended up in intensive care on a ventilator for three weeks.

inside the town hall, gordon, a paramedic, told me he caught covid early on. i couldn't do the shifts any more, couldn't cope with them, so i left the ambulance service and i work in general practice now. so, yeah, so it's changed my life in that respect. it�*s clear the pandemic had a lasting impact, notjust on covid patients but on the wider nhs. linda lives in constant pain after a serious accident 20 years ago. an operation on her spine was cancelled as covid hit. ijust wanted to close my eyes and not open them again because i was in so, so much pain. linda still teaches art, but life is a struggle. she�*s been told it�*s now too late for surgery. the rest of my life was destroyed. the agony is never going to go away now, and i will have to live

for the rest of my life with the consequences of not having had that one surgery. nearly five years on, those consequences are still being felt across the country. the inquiry must now decide if different actions, different decisions, should have been taken at the time. jim reed, bbc news. we�*re joined now by ben connah, the secretary to the uk covid inquiry. morning to you. i know that you have been travelling the uk talking to the many, many people who have been giving you evidence, telling their stories. i imagine there are so many that stick with you. but at this point it is the human stories we need to hear, isn�*t it? that point it is the human stories we need to hear, isn't it?— need to hear, isn't it? that is exactly right- _ need to hear, isn't it? that is exactly right. we _ need to hear, isn't it? that is exactly right. we have i need to hear, isn't it? that is exactly right. we have been i need to hear, isn't it? that is- exactly right. we have been going around the country and more than 30,000 people have provided their stories online or in person to every story matters. it�*s so important we

an important stage for some people in their grieving process, they have to say officially what happened to them, because it feels like somewhere, something might come out of it, so it never happens again? i have heard from a lot of people who have heard from a lot of people who have told me that the very act of sharing their story has helped them to come to terms with what happened to come to terms with what happened to them. i was in belfast a while ago and we spoke to a man there who had lost a parent. and that loss had torn his family apart. three siblings who are no longer the close family that they were because they weren�*t able to share in the grief and the rituals. we are really, really lucky that people feel able to come to our events and to go online. anybody can share their experience with us. and contribute to the inquiry�*s work. you can do it

it was the moment an extraordinary summer of sport was finally over. the paralympic flame extinguished before one last parisian party, as a parade of djs gave the world's athletes a perfect sendoff. earlier, not even the weather could dampen the closing ceremony. a spectacle of sound and colour before the competitors once again took centre stage. and as the athletes danced in the rain, the head of the games paid tribute to the hosts in the most glowing terms. paris 2024 has set a benchmark for all future paralympic games. you staged the most spectacular paralympic games ever. it was some games for britain, too.

laura sugar's gold in the kayaking was the 49th and last of a paralympics which delivered wherever you looked. the team's success has spanned all ages and sports. once again, they were second once again, they were second in the medals table, in the medals table, and their chef de mission and their chef de mission says their breadth of success says their breadth of success has been remarkable. has been remarkable. i think it has been again i think it has been again the blend of the team, the blend of the team, 18 sports have medalled, 18 sports have medalled, and the 19th sport had and the 19th sport had a medal match, and that strength a medal match, and that strength in depth has always been fabulous in depth has always been fabulous for team morale and for team morale and for the team dynamic. for the team dynamic. for paris as well, this has been for paris as well, this has been a special paralympics. a special paralympics. los angeles in four years' time los angeles in four years' time certainly has a tough act to follow. certainly has a tough act to follow. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. andy swiss, bbc news, paris.

we'rejoined now by the 11—time paralympic champion and commentator baroness tanni grey—thompson, who's in paris. hundred and 2a medals for paralympics gb, how would you sum up that teen's achievements? it has that teen's achievements? it has been fantastic. _ that teen's achievements? it has been fantastic. you _ that teen's achievements? it has been fantastic. you can - that teen's achievements? it has been fantastic. you can only - that teen's achievements? it has i been fantastic. you can only control what you can control, but coming second on the medal table is really impressive. usa, we pr mel expect to be a little better from them, because they have got the next games in la, but it is the breadth across sports that is very important, we are notjust targeting a couple of popular sports like some countries do, it is about really making sure that we represent at the best level

we can, and i have to say the atmosphere has been incredible here. palace have done a really good job. tanni, just give us an idea about the sense of progression, we are already looking ahead to la, there's already looking ahead to la, there's a real sense that we are seeing some of the superstar panel this time around, a real sense of progression, of the future being actually quite bright, a 13—year—old winning a medal, there more coming, isn't there? , ~ ., ., there? there is, i think the average ace of the there? there is, i think the average age of the swimming _ there? there is, i think the average age of the swimming team - there? there is, i think the average age of the swimming team is - there? there is, i think the average age of the swimming team is 22, i

games on, terms of how they put the games on, so they need to get the public to care about their athletes, and they have done it. there has been more coverage around the world than ever before, but also interest we are starting to see nonaccredited media come into the games, so you have no access to venues or efforts, your stock outside somewhere, so that shows how much the games means to other countries as well as us, i think. ~ ., ., ., , ., ~ ., think. we are already talking about la. think. we are already talking about la, but think. we are already talking about la. but how _ think. we are already talking about la. but how has — think. we are already talking about la, but how has palestine? - think. we are already talking about la, but how has palestine? what l think. we are already talking about| la, but how has palestine? what do you think about how the french capital has dealt with the paralympics?— capital has dealt with the paral mics? , ., , capital has dealt with the paral mics? , . , ., paralympics? they have been great. i think they learned _ paralympics? they have been great. i think they learned a _ paralympics? they have been great. i think they learned a lot _ paralympics? they have been great. i think they learned a lot from - paralympics? they have been great. i think they learned a lot from london | think they learned a lot from london in terms of sustainability and using the city. when you have shots of the eiffel tower in the background, it

has not been quite so easy for spectators to get around. the access has not been great. but you're talking about a venue that was built in 1998 for a different sport. i think of the next set of games, we need to think about making it a great experience for spectators. i have to say it, pretty much every night and every morning for heat�*s, the stade de france was packed. we did have one day when we said, there is about 55,000 in today, but the important bit about that, there was some school trips, but most people coming, the vast majority were adults who are buying tickets who wanted to be there. and i think that is a really important turning point as well for the games. 50 if

is a really important turning point as well for the games. so if palace line from london, _ as well for the games. so if palace line from london, what _ as well for the games. so if palace line from london, what can - as well for the games. so if palace line from london, what can la - as well for the games. so if palace l line from london, what can la learn from paris? i line from london, what can la learn from paris?— from paris? i think it is about the ublic from paris? i think it is about the public transport _ from paris? i think it is about the public transport in _ from paris? i think it is about the public transport in la, _ from paris? i think it is about the public transport in la, a - from paris? i think it is about the public transport in la, a lot - from paris? i think it is about the public transport in la, a lot of. public transport in la, a lot of people have cars there. the bus service is not great. so they need to really look at the public transport for spectators to make it much easier. the public transport, i think they need to also think about the venues to make sure that people... they look after the athletes, that is an absolute given. it is the wider bit. it is going to be hard to get spectators in. atlanta was not a great games for them in terms of how they put the facilities together, the media coverage, things like that. they have to be a massive step up from those. ., . ., have to be a massive step up from those. ., .., , ., ,., those. tanni come before you went to paris ou those. tanni come before you went to paris you told — those. tanni come before you went to

but i think now a lot more athletes are speaking out and a lot more disabled people speaking out about some of the basic things that needs to change in the uk.— to change in the uk. have you had any update — to change in the uk. have you had any update into — to change in the uk. have you had any update into the _ to change in the uk. have you had any update into the investigation l any update into the investigation into what happened to you? h0. into what happened to you? no, not et, but into what happened to you? no, not yet. but i'm — into what happened to you? no, not yet. but i'm back — into what happened to you? no, not yet, but i'm back in _ into what happened to you? no, not yet, but i'm back in the _ into what happened to you? no, not yet, but i'm back in the uk - into what happened to you? no, not yet, but i'm back in the uk tonight l yet, but i'm back in the uk tonight so i will be expecting something in the next couple of days. but what i'm still getting is lots of e—mails from disabled people tell me it is happening to them, it is not a one—off. they don't have the profile that i do, they don't have the platform, and a lot of disabled people are being fobbed off, and thatis people are being fobbed off, and that is just not good enough. there was a lovely video that was part of the closing ceremony last night that says disabled people are called a minority group, it is 16 million people in the country. that is a lot

of people. you cannot fix everything for everybody, but i think that the uk can do better. so it is using the platform that the paris games has raised, that has been shone on it, to actually come back and do other things to make a real difference for just ordinary disabled people are not paralympians. the panel big team is 215 people, there are quite a lot more people in the uk who need more support. more people in the uk who need more su-nort. ., ,, ., support. baroness tanni grey-thompson, - support. baroness tanni grey-thompson, thank| support. baroness tanni i grey-thompson, thank you support. baroness tanni - grey-thompson, thank you for support. baroness tanni _ grey-thompson, thank you forjoining grey—thompson, thank you forjoining us from paris. grey-thompson, thank you for 'oining us from paris.— it's been more than 50 years since a little theatre production called the rocky horror show first appeared at london's royal court theatre. today, it's a cult classic, and the musical has returned to the royal court ahead of a tour around the uk. our reporter thomas magill has been to meet some of the stars. # madness takes its toll...# over 50 years of doing the time warp, and the rocky horror show

is still going strong, much to the surprise of its creator richard o'brien. # doing the time warp...# it is quite exceptional, in many ways, that it has touched many people, and i still don't quite know why, because comedy dates, and here we are with rocky still making people laugh. the original cast first performed the show in a tiny room at london's royal court in 1973. it celebrated difference and challenged the hetero norms of the time, something richard's still very proud of. homosexuality had only just been legalised, the world was shifting, and the world's attitudes to those sorts of issues was softening, and we were part of that, and i'm so delighted to have been part of that change in society. and all those nice things,

all those developments that are good that are good developments, are now threatened by far right wing politicians. from humble beginnings all those years ago to cult status these days, it has a large and loyal army of superfans. every time they have been in the uk, we go. every single time. first time i went, i was 1a, i'm 25 now. yeah, and my daughter has actually come tonight for the first time, and she's16, so it's gone from our mum right down to our children. it is the best thing i have ever seen. i never thought that a theatre show like this can be so amazing. i mean, it's great. i came 25 years ago to see jason donovan do it, it was totally amazing. this has just been the story of my childhood, it'sjust fantastic. and jason donovan is back in his fishnets and stilettos as frank—n—furter, a role he first played in 1998 when it

quite literally changed his life. rocky, you know, for me sort of channels that inner rock star, frontman of a band, that probably i wanted to be in a way, but i was there with a technicolor coat and a loincloth, and it took a while to find the heels, but i eventually did in 1998, and i'm very glad i did. i also met my wife 25 years ago on this show, and we're still together. # i'm just a sweet transvestite. ..# the movie in 1975 widened its appeal further, but forjason, it's the fans at the live shows that help keep it fresh night after night. the audience always carries us along, you know, it is magic. as long as it's done well, the audience participation, it's a lovely layer to this piece, it is very unique. ade edmondson, when he was playing brad, said, "it's all very well

for the audience to be shouting out things, but theirtiming's not very good, is it?" well, if you fancy getting involved orjust catching the show, it's on tour across the country until the middle of next year. # let's do the time warp again...# thomas magill, bbc news. # let's do the time warp again...# and if you are in the audience, you had better be good. here's matt with a look at the weather. a big change in our weather on the way. the sun one has been squeezed off eastwards, a change in wind direction, and later on tuesday into wednesday, we see the winds come all the way from the arctic, giving us our first proper the way from the arctic, giving us ourfirst proper autumn the way from the arctic, giving us our first proper autumn chill, the way from the arctic, giving us ourfirst proper autumn chill, not just by day but also by night, the second half of the week we could see some frost retirement to parts of

the uk. also windy at times, before the uk. also windy at times, before the colder air gets its way in, and it will be a mixture of sunshine and showers, not as wet as someone experienced over the weekend. weather front still is draped across parts of england right now, producing lots of rain and bursts of drizzle. a lot more in the way of brighter skies developing towards the west of england, wales, good parts of scotland as well and indeed northern ireland, but western scotland and northern ireland all cloud over later, summer rain on the way for the evening rush—hour. maybe reaching 18 or 19 celsius in the south, and out of the breeze in the sunshine, it should still feel all right. tonight, further rain at times for scotland and northern ireland, some heavier bursts later working their way into england, and the winds strengthen, but temperatures should not be too low, around nine to 13 celsius. the

seller pressure is bringing the change, but a cold front associated with it pushes its way south, the colder air moves and as we go through into wednesday. back to tuesday first they when they when they start, and credit windy day touch and go in places. cold are not quite here yet, sunshine and showers, heavy with hail and thunder, and believe it or not, we could see a bit of snow over the scottish mountains as well. thank you very much indeed, matt. it's well—known that spending time outdoors can improve your wellbeing,

but as the school terms gets under way, there are concerns children aren't regularly getting outside. the wildlife charity wwf has found the majority of pupils are not learning enough about nature in school, and it's calling for changes to the national curriculum. sam harrison reports. from beekeeping in devon to pond dipping in newcastle. that looks like a fish. children across the country showing curiosity in the great outdoors. but with kids back to school, there's a fear that these activities are on the demise. what did we find? i had nothing. new research by the wwf says children across the country aren't spending enough time connecting to nature. according to their figures, only 24% of schools provide daily opportunities for pupils to get out into the wild, and it seems older pupils suffer more, with the research claiming 56% of secondary schools don't provide outdoor opportunities.

the problem of access is particularly bad in more deprived areas, and the wwf say children in these communities simply don't spend enough time outdoors. and they say this chronic lack of access to nature could have damning consequences. despite the hard work of many passionate and committed teachers, most pupils in the uk are still missing out on regular opportunities to engage with nature. currently, students' chances of benefiting from being in nature, and that includes benefits to their physical health, their mental health and well—being, and the quality of their education, are a lottery depending on school year group, size, location, and the affluence of the catchment area they're in. to get kids buzzing about nature again, schools face an uphill challenge. and at home too, in a modern world of tech, distractions are everywhere. if i can be on my laptop, i will. but if my friends are outdoors, i probably will be outdoors.

first thing he wants to do, like, we get on the train, he'll say, "game, game, game", on my phone. so, to get him outdoors can only be betterfor him. do you prefer being outside or inside? outside. and why is that? because i can see lots of animals, and i can connect with nature more. it's that connection to nature which has clear benefits. but for happy and healthy minds to flourish in the future, it's one which needs to grow. sam harrison, bbc news. in january last year, a 47—year—old woman was found stabbed at her home in cambridgeshire. a police investigation was launched but there was no sign of a murder weapon and a shortage of clues. a team from channel 4's true crime programme 2a hours in police custody followed detectives as they searched for the killer. let's take a look at the moment officers interviewed

looking at them individually and just moving it in or out, but because of their lifestyles, it was quite difficult, because people were not necessarily accurate and what they were doing, and whether that was because they were involved in purchasing drugs or their lifestyle meant they could not a member what they were doing at the time, so it was really difficult to try to pinpoint people's movements. how much harder— pinpoint people's movements. how much harder doesn't make it for you, then, if your witnesses are people you don't always know you can rely on? , , ., , ., on? this is really hard, we then have to start — on? this is really hard, we then have to start looking _ on? this is really hard, we then have to start looking at - on? this is really hard, we then have to start looking at what i on? this is really hard, we then i have to start looking at what else we can do to try to pinpoint their movements, excellent looking at cctv, forensic evidence, try to work out what are doing at that time. b5 out what are doing at that time. as a tv producer, what are the challenges for you in telling that
