..who's also living with cerebral palsy but has less severe additional needs. he's persevered so very hard in getting the very basics. you know, he shouldn't have to persevere so hard. and it's fortunate that he and my mother and my father are able to do that. we're realistic — - we're older parents, we're not going to be here forever. we want him to be set up and - organised so he's safe and secure. welcome to the 2022 leavers award ceremony. a well—deserved congratulations, elliot. well done. today's report says this is the point, leaving education, where many young disabled people are left facing an uncertain future. ooh, it's nice and wide. moving on from college, elliot needs to find somewhere to live... how far can you reach? it's a bit low, could you get your washing in there? no. and he needs somewhere to work. one of the things that we were

thinking about was you movingi on to an apprenticeship when you come back. l we've just found out, haven't we, that that's probably— not going to happen, - because you haven't had quite the amount of experience i of working outside of college that they would have liked. it's one of those twists and turns like everybody�*s had with covid. on work experience... we'll be building what we call a willow screen. elliot's college offered him some opportunities, but he's been unable to find a suitable job. not going to be sitting at home on the benefits system, because that's not a way to live your life. a good college has supported elliot into his early 20s. that's when many young disabled people struggle, even to survive. worst case scenario, young people, you know, young adults die. and we shouldn't be in a position where actually people are having to fight so hard for the basic things in life that they need to be

able to live a fulfilled life. the report says young people like elliot are being written off and told they'll never succeed at work. it recommends better careers advice and greater awareness of the rights and aspirations of disabled people. what happens in general is people think problems, so it's what they can't do and low expectations, they can't possibly do that, it's too difficult, it'll take too much effort. so i think it's almost a cultural change. take a deep breath. the government says it's investing £18 million in supported internships to help young, disabled people into employment so they can live independent, dignified lives. elliot's had more opportunities than most. in many ways, he's fortunate. but still, the contrasting experience of these twin brothers is stark. watching elliot over the past few years has been frustrating because he came back from college,

and thereafter he has had to fight for somewhere to live. ijust sort of got on with it, and progressed in my career and so on. and he'sjust not been able to. ..to my pad. your pad? yes! it is. elliot's new pad. housing is sorted. elliot's got somewhere suitable to live. and your new house keys. but the world of work remains out of reach. it's been a long road map to get here. i've been on an adventure. "make your own path. " elliot's educational support has been extended into next year to try to open doors for him. but so many young disabled people struggle to find work and a meaningful existence beyond education. elliot's pad. dan johnson, bbc news. if you want to find out more about elliot caswell�*s

story, his documentary a life of my own is now available on iplayer. still to come on today's programme — a warning from the child burns trust, after a 121% increase in injuries to children caused by hot water bottles bursting. now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'mjane dougall. england bowlers chip away at pakistan's batting order on a tough first day in the second test. jonas eidevall resigns, afterjust one league win this season, leaving arsenal searching for a new manager. and chloe kelly is called up for england friendlies against germany and south africa, despite being out of favour at her club.

it was a nervy start for pakistan, but they have batted well on the first day of the second test against england, using the same pitch as the first test in multan, which england won last week. that hasn't deterred pakistan, debutant kamran ghulam passed his century. at stumps pakistan are 259 for 5. andy swiss reports. a first day which was notjust a first day which was not just about the players but about the pitch. the same one that produced a run last week, was looking a little trickier for batting. is this player soon found out. it is not often that you see spin like that quite as early as this. jack did not mind and he would not have minded this either. most leadership on it straight to check

calling, pakistan, 1940 and already it seemed in trouble. on his test debut, it was clamouring for thrilling effects. suddenly, that's pitch was looking a bit more straightforward and england needed to use their heads. leeches even to sand —— max shined the ball. it did not help. the pakistani players found their fluency. not help. the pakistani players found theirfluency. how not help. the pakistani players found their fluency. how you book with a brilliant stop on the boundary goodies, it was hard work. finally, a breakthrough. shaquille. .. finally, a breakthrough. shaquille... england had a renewed spring in their step. shaquille... england had a renewed spring in theirstep. not shaquille... england had a renewed spring in their step. not quite enough spring. at 79, cameron dropped by ben and made england pay for it, reaching his first test century and his very first test innings. just because —— but before the players he fell for 118 but it was a debut to remember on a day of

fluctuating fortunes. meanwhile, england women know that victory over the west indies in dubai will mean they will reach the semi—finals of the t20 world cup where new zealand await. if they lose, it'll come down to run rate as to whether they'll qualify or not. whatever the outcome, the team have been doing all they can to build that bond in the side. we've got a really nice corridor with, like, england flags, nice pictures of us all over it, a little games corner, so... i think it's good that, in dubai, you can't really get bored — there's a lot to do. so quite a few dinners, a few activities. a lot of players have been playing golf. so just keeping busy and it's actually really nice to be in one corridor because you can have a little social times at random points of the day. arsenal women are looking for a new head coach following the resignation ofjonas eidevall this morning. arsenal have won just one of their opening four women's super league games of the 2024—25 season. they suffered a heavy 5—2 defeat at bayern munich in the champions league last wednesday, before losing 2—1 at home to chelsea at the weekend. assistant coach renee slegers will

take charge on an interim basis. here's how england manager sarina wiegman reacted to the news. i've just heard it. to be honest, i was a little bit in shock and i did not expect it. of course, that is really sad. i think it is always sad when things happen like that. i did not expect it. i had a good working relationship with him. so i was a little bit flabbergasted to be honest. england's euro final match—winner chloe kelly has been included in the lionesses�* squad for friendlies with germany and south africa this month, despite falling out of favour at manchester city. kelly was an unused subsitute in city's last two games. manager sarina wiegman has also included aston villa's uncapped defender lucy parker in the 25—player squad, while lotte wubben—moy and laurenjames return after injury. england also play world number ones the united states and switzerland before the end of the year.

sir alex ferguson is to leave his role as ambassador for manchester united at the end of the season. ferguson has been paid a multi—million pound sum by the club since his retirement as manager in 2013. the 82—year—old has been a global ambassador and club director, retaining a seat in the directors�* box. it's believed the move is part of co—owner sirjim ratcliffe�*s cost cost—cutting exercise in order to invest more in the team. more than 250 staff members have been made redundant already. while at the club sir alex won 13 premier league titles, two champions leagues, five fa cups and four league cups. the nations league continues this evening, northern ireland play bulgaria, while scotland take on portugal. it's been more than a year since steve clarke's side last had a competitive victory. the manager said he was tired of critics finding

fault with scotland as he has every faith in the squad. after 20 years in the international wilderness, this group of players have been to two major tournaments, they've got promotion to this top level of the nations league, so i don't understand why the...why people would be doubting about this group of players. it's a tough moment, there's no doubt about it, but we believe in ourselves. harriet dart is through to the second round of thejapan open in osaka. she came from a set down to beat german laura siegemund, eventually winning 3—6, 7—5, 7—5. dart, who's ranked 81 in the world, will face clara tau—son next. will face clara tauson next. also in china, but at the ningbo open there was frustration for katie boulter. her match against sara errani was suspended in the first set with the match level at 2—2 because of rain. the shortlist for the bbc women s footballer of the year award

has been announced today. its been an enthralling 12 months of women s football, both internationally with the olympic games and at club level around the globe. a panel made up of current and former professionals, coaches and journalists picked their top five players over the past year. now the world s public get to vote online for their standout player. let's take a look at the five nominees. i want to be the greatest footballer in the world. everyone can read about me and say, we had me. putting on my zambian shirt, it is very important for me. i managed to score a hat—trick at the olympics. it was a great moment for me. we are hoping to do better but it is unfortunate that we do not go further. i am lucky enough

to be part of this great team, barcelona. because i am playing with a lot of great players, that makes you a great player. we want to win everything. the mentality, it's very important for me. being ambitious, be ambitious every year and every year, it is more in the past year. my mum says that at the world cup last year, she said i cannot believe that we are here. and i am like me neither. i am honoured to be up for this award and to be a defender on there i think is really cool, we are playing a big part to do things with the team for working with a back line and trying to organise things with you. this is that camaraderie where you have to grind it out. i think without that the bees, it is really hard to win.

the highlight, must bel the champions league. 50,000, that's like over hundred. to lift the trophy in front of then full with them. _ i cannot describe it. it is too good to be true. so many girls now out i there want to become a footballer and want to pursue their dreams. i that is a beautiful thing. this opportunity gives us the possibility- role models for the next. generation for that they will have it 100 times - better than we had it. ijust remember seeing the ball hit the back of the net. i kind of blacked out a little bit. it was a lot of emotion we did it. we are about to play for a gold medal. i remember for that game. i remember leaving out the goal, feeling like we

are going to win this game. you can feel that collective belief. i felt like i was going to cry of happiness and jov- winning a gold medal, it was a dream come true. voting closes on the 28th of october. details of how you can vote on the bbc sport website. a police officer... 24—year—old chris cover was unarmed when he was shotin chris cover was unarmed when he was shot in the end by a police officer in streatham two years ago. this is the second day... _ in streatham two years ago. this is the second day... . _ evidence from the defendant, martin blake, in the witness box. —— the defendant, martyn blake. we have

new data from the charity shows the number of injuries, caused by bottles bursting, have more than doubled during the cost of living crisis. a warning that this report from jayne mccubbin does contain some graphic images. the cost—of—living crisis has had very many consequences. as thermostats have gone down, the use of hot water bottles has gone up. and today, medics want to warn about the very real risk they pose. i can't believe the extent of the injury from one hot water bottle. yeah. your skin hasjust peeled off. yeah, it did. it was very, very painful. my legs were shaking. they were literally shaking. this is what happened to 14—year—old fati when her hot water bottle exploded. i'd noticed that i had cramps and i wanted to, like, use my hot water bottle like usual and then just go to sleep. and when i put the hot, boiling water in the water bottle, itjust popped when i put it on. it exploded when it went on you? yeah. the ambulance brigade told you your

hot water bottle had expired. i didn't know they could expire. me too. i knew in that day. and i literally regretted why i used that hot water bottle. these injuries have increased just as families have looked for cheaper ways to keep warm. new data shows that burns to children from hot water bottles have more than doubled since the cost—of—living crisis began. you see the reality of this coming through your door. absolutely. partly down to the fact that it's cold and people are worried about turning the heating on, and partly down to the fact that people don't actually realise that hot water bottles perish. and this is what it looks like when one blows. i have brought my boys' hot water bottles. excellent. because i had no idea there was a shelf life on these things. well, first things i noticed is they're full of water. and if you're going to store them, store them empty. the water can make it degrade. because if you think about leaving... you're leaving rubber wet. and on the neck, as you can see here, a little wheel.

in the middle of the wheel there's a number. that number is the year they were manufactured. so yours says 16. 2016. which is quite a long time ago. we reckon they have a shelf life between two to three years. basically, you do need to check them. so you want to look around the seal. you want to look for any damage when you open it. you've got a good seal. you can feel that click. so do you have people who literally have had a hot water explode all over them? absolutely. every year. and it's getting more and more common. but if your hot water bottle does blow, this is what you do. first, cool the wound down. so you want to be getting it under cool running water — not cold — for about 15 to 20 minutes. and that is not ice cold? no, you don't want to have ice cold. cool running water rather than cold — because we're stopping the burning process, we're not causing the vessels to restrict themselves. next... get some cling film. most households have cling film in the house.

..cover the wound. and you want to wrap it loosely around the burn injury, because you don't want to have it too tight because the burn will swell. and you get them to local a&e. fati had a 12—day stay in hospital after her injury in april... bye! ..and she is still an outpatient at manchester's children's hospital today. 2021. as for my family's batch of hot water bottles... 2016. are you saying, sam, that all of these need to go in the bin? i'm not saying they automatically need to go in the bin. i am saying you do need to be very careful with them. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. hollywood actor al pacino — star of films like the godfather and scarface — is now 84 and he says the birth of his fourth child last year was part of the reason for writing his first ever autobiography. our entertainment reporter colin paterson has been to los angeles to meet him.

you're my older brother, and i love you. the godfather made al pacino a star. but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. say hello to my little friend. with scarface, he created a cult hero. sir, you're out of order. out of order? i'll show you out of order! and playing a blind veteran in scent of a woman finally won him his oscar after eight nominations. now, for the first time, al pacino has written down his own story — from growing up in new york to the present day here in los angeles, where he's lived for a quarter of a century to be near his children. and last year, he became a dad again. great meeting you. grrrreat meeting you! we met up with him near where he lives in beverly hills. yeah, i'm just going to tie my shoelaces. al pacino. yes. the autobiography deals a lot with family — and fatherhood, obviously — and you became a father again last year.

how have you reacted to that? well, its extraordinary! i've reacted to it as many ways as you could possibly react to it. it was... it's wonderful. you know, i have this little person. everything he does is interesting to me, you know? so we...we talk, i play the harmonica with him, and we have made this kind of contact, so it's fun. at 83, did you have any reservations about the age? well, i'd want to be around for this child — of course i did. but things happen and i hope i am — i hope i stay healthy and he knows who his dad is. however, al pacino had a near—death experience in 2020, when he fell ill during the pandemic. when i opened my eyes, there were five paramedics in my living room! there were two doctors who looked like spacemen, and there was an ambulance in front of my house. there was something. then there was nothing.

not... no fall, no anything. there was just nothing. which was, in retrospect, was sort of frightening. there was no white tunnels? no white tunnels, no — nothing. it's like shakespeare says in "to be or not to be." no more. there's no sequel? no sequel! no. exactly. let's talk about the godfather. yes. finally. laughter. just wasn't enough time, michael. wasn't enough time. we'll get there, pop. i was in it. how did that happen? i was lucky because francis coppola saw me on stage. but once you were in the role of the godfather... yeah. ..they wanted rid of you. how close did you come to being sacked? when your director talks to you and says, you know, "i had a lot of faith in you, man. what's happening? you're not delivering." they wanted a leading man in that role — someone who was, uh... took the reins.

but pacino was saved when, the next day, they filmed what would become one of the godfather�*s most famous scenes. this is the gun in the toilets of the restaurant scene. they say that francis moved that scene up. he claims he didn't. it seems like that would be the thing to do — get to the meat — because that's what the studio wants to see. and they liked the scene, and that was it. who were they going to replace you with, do you think? could you see anyone lurking around? bob de niro comes to mind! laughter. we went looking for your star on the hollywood walk of fame. oh, i don't have a star. you don't have a star?! how can you possibly not?! i don't know, i don't know. it happens. there are a lot of people who have, but there's also a lot of people who don't have a star. if hollywood's committee are watching this interview, would you be quite up for one now? of course! there we go. yeah, sure. come on, al pacino wants his star on the hollywood walk of fame. finally, it's always interesting when you meet

someone like you, thinking, "right, what am i going to learn about al pacino from meeting him?" your phone cover. can you show this, please, and explain the story? because of all the things in the world that i thought al pacino would have on his phone cover, i was not expecting... ..shrek. who would be expecting shrek? who? that's mine. can you explain why you shrek it? my youngest daughter said, "can i have your phone, dad? i'vejust got to..." so i gave her my phone and she came back and she had this on it. she said, "it's shrek, dad!" i said, "shrek? wow. 0k, babe, i'll hold on to it." it's been a real pleasure. my pleasure. it was great talking to you. and this, you can't get over — i know, i know. someday — one day — i'll take it off. but i don't know how. and the full interview will air on bbc two on friday 25th october at 9pm.
