not filmed as normal by broadcasters in the normal way. and shejust wanted things to be in her own words. she wanted it to connect with the public, to be personal, intimate and show a side of life and what she has been going through over recent months, and that is what they wanted. kensington palace, the team around her and the prince and princess of wales to deliver. in terms of what happens now, as i said my report, it is a light schedule thatis my report, it is a light schedule that is planned for the princess. no definitive things in the diary at the moment, things can be a bit day we're told for her still. but we are expecting to see her and remembrance sunday with the wider royal family at the cenotaph and perhaps at a number of events going into christmas including her own carol concert which usually hosts westminister abbey. concert which usually hosts westministerabbe . ., ,, westminister abbey. thank you. -- she usually — westminister abbey. thank you. -- she usually hosts. _ the head of one of the uk's biggest unions, unite, has called on the government to do a u—turn on its plan to withdraw the winter fuel payment from millions of pensioners in england and wales.

sharon graham has accused the government of "picking the pockets of pensioners", while leaving the richest "totally untouched." tonight, the chancellor, rachel reeves, is meeting labour backbenchers to try to secure their support for the government's plan. our political editor, chris mason, is in westminster. chris, what's your sense of how the prime minister will treat any rebellion? yes, that is what he has to try and work out. you might remember a couple of months back when there was a vote about the two child benefit cap. there were half a dozen or so labour mps who defied the government wanted to get rid of it, labour say it is unaffordable to get rid of. and they were slung out of the parliamentary party at least for six months. but that was an idea that had been talked about in advance, whereas this has come relatively speaking out of the blue since the election. now, we should be clear, let's put the parliamentary shenanigans to one side for a moment. labour, the government is going to win this vote. how do we know that? they have a majority that is himalayan in proportion. so millions of people are going to lose

their winter fuel payments. the question is the extent to which this is a challenge on the prime minister's authority. as you are saying, the chancellor right now in parliament is trying to persuade lots of very uncomfortable labour mps who are not used to their e—mail inboxis mps who are not used to their e—mail inbox is flooded with people having a go at them to try and argue as the chancellor is that it is the right thing to do right now because they say that will allow them to do things that they want to do into the future. but it is difficult it is a difficult persuasionjob future. but it is difficult it is a difficult persuasion job for plenty of labour mps who are not used to this kind of criticism. so what does the prime minister do? it kind of depends what any rebellion looks like. do people vote against him or do they abstain? he has got a decision to make about what should happen there. and you know what? a final thought. happen there. and you know what? a finalthought. if happen there. and you know what? a final thought. if folk within the labour party had enjoyed the novelty of being back in government again after so, so long, a real sense now

that the robber is hitting the road and they are having to make difficult decisions.— and they are having to make difficult decisions. chris mason with the latest _ difficult decisions. chris mason with the latest from _ difficult decisions. chris mason i with the latest from westminster, thank you. there was a hero's welcome for the paralympicsgb team when they arrived back from paris this afternoon. they finished second in the medal table, behind china, after winning 124 medals, including 49 golds. that's the same record number of medals that they won in tokyo three years ago. but this time, the team has brought back eight more golds, as andy swiss reports. one for the photo album. cheering for the british team, a picture—perfect end to the paralympics, as they arrived home with luggage in their hands and some extra luggage round their necks. both in terms of medals and magic, it seems paris certainly delivered. it was absolutely phenomenal. it's a feeling that we've not really had. it's crowds that we've not had kind of in the last 12 years. so it's what i wanted, it's what i was hoping for when we headed out there, and they delivered, which was absolutely incredible.

earlier, paris gave the team a musical sendoff, after a games in which they've hit all the right notes. paralympicsgb won 49 golds and medals across 18 different sports. that's more sports than any other nation. whatever the setting, it seemed there was more success. surely back—to—back world records here in the stade de france! their most decorated athlete was 19—year—old swimmer poppy maskill. she's been keeping herfive medals she's been keeping herfive medals in socks, for safekeeping. in socks, for safekeeping. and on thejourney home, she told me and on thejourney home, she told me it was still hard to believe. it was still hard to believe. a once—in—a—lifetime thing. a once—in—a—lifetime thing. so, even if you go to another games, so, even if you go to another games, it will never really be the same. it will never really be the same. i thought i'd be really happy so i'm pretty sure of that. so i'm pretty sure of that. it was like, unreal. it was like, unreal. it was like, really cool. it was like, really cool. and did you ever think you'd be and did you ever think you'd be coming home with five coming home with five medals, three golds? medals, three golds? no. no.

i thought because of my first games, i thought because of my first games, i thought i'd be really happy if ijust get one and thenjust, like, just see how it goes, you know? but i did better than i thought, so i was happy with that. maskill, who carried the flag at last night's closing ceremony, was just one of a number of successful debutants. but while that bodes well, the british team know repeating their success at the next games in los angeles will not be easy. i think we can take a lot of confidence from the paris games for la, going forwards, but it's going to be hard. and to be competitive and continue to hold our position on the medal table, it's going to be challenging and we're going to have to be on our a game as a country. but for now, at least, such worries can wait. for britain's paralympians, a chance to relax, after a remarkable games. andy swiss, bbc news. and at the end of the programme, we'll be looking back at many of paralympicsgb�*s golden moements from the last two weeks.

ijust thought if i told people, the second time they met,

this is a set—up, it has done on purpose, and it is designed to come up with the most heinous possible crimes to slander our name. meanwhile, sienna and anna are suing andrew tate in the high court, along with two other women. they accuse him of sexual assault and rape. he is defending the claim. ijust want him held accountable for what he's done. ruth clegg, bbc news. and you can watch andrew tate: accused tonight on bbc one and on iplayer at 8pm. the chairwoman of an inquiry examining the deaths of mental health patients in essex has said it may never be clear how many people died as a result of alleged failings. baroness kate lampard said she expected the number to surpass 2000. bereaved relatives have campaigned for an inquiry for more than a decade. 0ur social affairs editor alison holt is here.

the relatives have waited a long time for this, an important moment? it is a really important moment. 0pening it is a really important moment. opening the hearing, baroness lampard said there will be examining failings in mental health care in essex on a scale that is deeply shocking. and as a reminder of the pain at the heart of this, outside before proceedings started, families lined up with photos of some of those who had died. they have fought long and hard for this inquiry, which has legal powers to call witnesses to make sure this is give evidence. it will cover the years from 2000 2023, it will look at deaths in mental health hospitals as well as what happened to people who are not admitted and those who died within three months of being discharged. previous inquiries looked at 2000 deaths, but baroness lampard says the term is a much wider here and therefore, she expects the numbers to be significantly in excess of 2000, but she also says part of the tragedy is

that they will never fully know just many people have died. she also says those legal powers, she will use them to compel witnesses if she needs to. �* ,., ., ,, them to compel witnesses if she needs to. �* ., ,, i. the power—sharing coalition in northern ireland has been setting out its key priorities for the next few years, among them cutting waiting times for health and providing more affordable housing but critics say the programme for government is too vague and lacks specific targets. chris page reports. monica is experiencing the reality of northern ireland's health service crisis. she's on a seven year waiting list for a knee replacement, with four still to go. she's paying to go abroad for the operation. it's soul destroying the living with this pain. and i mean, i woke up this morning and i said to my husband, 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 would be in a wheelchair. we've been hearing promises about the waiting list being brought down, but brought down my waiting list for me personally has got longer, and that seems to be the general story. the waiting times for hospital treatments are the longest in the uk by far. that's one of the biggest challenges for the power sharing devolved government, jointly led by an irish nationalist and a unionist. they announced their plan in the assembly at stormont. what we need to see is real systems change, complete restructuring of the health service so that we can start to tackle health inequalities. so i think there's a whole raft of things that need to happen. but there was also a warning that funds were tight. the ability to deliver is fundamentally based on resources and the budget that we have as well. we can do some things if we have a more limited budget, but of course we can do more to improve lives if we have got a better budget. this is the first time northern ireland has had a programme for government for 13 years. the power sharing coalition is now looking stable after a long period defined by shakiness and collapses.

but away from here, many people are saying that stormont needs to do much more than simply survive. alma's son caleb, is 16 and has complex needs. she wants more detail on a commitment to ensure opportunities for pupils like him when they leave school. what really needs to change is legislation that is going to hold the government to account. without legislation, i don't believe things are going to change. we can have all the plans in the world, but i think parents are ready for some action. the plan covers the next three years. how much of it's delivered or not will affect everyone in northern ireland. chris page, bbc news, belfast. now a look at some other stories making the news today. the government's promising the biggest overhaul to buses in a generation. under new plans, local councils will be able to take control of their bus services

and tailor services to suit the needs of their communities. industry figures say councils could end up shouldering more financial risk if passenger numbers fall. a former police officer has admitted attempted murder after driving his car at his ex—partner and her mother through the window of an undertakers in the scottish borders. william mcburnie, who was three times the legal drink—drive limit, narrowly missed the two women. the judge at the high court in livingston said mcburnie should be under no illusion — he was going to prison for a long time. the inquest into the death of steve dymond, who appeared as a guest on thejeremy kyle show has heard from his landlady, who said he was "distraught" and a "broken man" after recording the programme. the 63—year—old from portsmouth is believed to have taken his own life seven days after filming for the itv show in may 2019. the supermarket aldi says it's planning to spend £800 million to ramp up expansion across britain after record sales and profit last year.

as food prices soared, many shoppers turned to cheaper own label goods. but aldi's uk boss says it's their premium range which is now growing faster than anything else. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. as the cost of living eases, what are shoppers up to? the boss of the uk's fourth biggest supermarket says some customers are now trading up. there are inflationary pressures. customers are still searching for affordable groceries, but within the move to own label, we are seeing a shift across the industry of customers buying into premium as well. for instance, smoked salmon up more than 50% compared with last year. for some, it's still about saving money. maybe an easing of inflationary pressure, and i also think its customers looking to treat themselves at home and maybe making a decision not to go out. aldi has been hugely disruptive. it's added more than £6 billion

worth of sales in the last half decade alone. but data shows in recent months, it hasn't been growing as fast, as most of its main rivals have been doing aldi price—matching campaigns and have popular loyalty reward schemes. is aldi losing its mojo? there are always short term fluctuations in the performance of retailers in the market, but if you look at the statistics, our story's about growth. few, if any retailers are opening as many stores as aldi. it's had talks in downing street about ways to speed the planning process up. i think that the longer the planning takes, the slower our investment is because that investment will bring footfall and it will create jobs. but the appetite for expansion is there, starting with another 23 stores before christmas. emma simpson,

towards the north and west in that north—westerly development. tonight, this is where we see most of the rain across scotland and northern ireland, pushing further south and east with some heavier downpours across the northern isles, this is where we are sealing the coolest temperatures. but still double figures for the south although a chillier start to the day across south—east england and we saw earlier this morning. tomorrow, the same thing is set to continue, the confront sinks south at least, tight squeeze in the isobars indicating the brisk north—westerly. and here comes the colder air. we will all be in the cooler feeling colours by the time we get to the end of tuesday and it is windy wherever you are but particularly so across the northern isles, some heavy rain here and the chance of some flooding perhaps, brisk winds and blustery showers especially to the north and west. here is the cold front through the afternoon, it could have up towards the end of the day across southern england coinciding with the rush hour here but still mild here,

colder further north and west. it will be turning chillier overnight on tuesday, in fact for many of us we will be reaching for the winter duvet with temperatures coming back into mid single figures for many. it leads to wednesday, starting another windy day wherever you are, sunny spells and blustery showers, typical north—westerly day. important to note that why it will feel very cold and exposed to the win, there will still be some sunshine which still packs a punch in september. thanks, elizabeth. in a moment, we'lljoin our colleagues for the news where you are, but first, here's a look back at some of paralympicsgb's golden moments in paris. maskell is a paralympic champion in a world record time.
