that so quickly. the former chelsea box agreeing to become the new english manager, a lot on his shoulders, no pressure there. if a page on our website with a bit more background on that pedigree will was talking about if you want to check that out. the british government has signed an agreement with the world's largest pharmaceutical company to fund a trial which could tackle obesity and help people get back into work. the scheme will see unemployed people living with obesity given a new weight loss jab. 0ur health correspondent, sophie hutchinson reports. it is estimated that a majority of adults in the uk are now overweight or obese, and with that excess weight comes an increased risk of illness. the personal health costs can be severe, and so can the cost to the wider economy. the government's plan is to see whether a drug used for weight loss could improve people's health and reduce the time they take off work.

this drug will be very helpful to people who want to lose weight, need to lose weight, very important for the economy so people can get back into work, and very important for the nhs because as i have said time and again, yes, we need more money for our nhs but we have got to think differently, we have got to reduce the pressure on the nhs. so this will help in all of those areas. a trial is now planned to take place in greater manchester over five years. it will examine whether the drug mounjaro, made by lilly, can help people with obesity to lose weight and in turn reduce pressure on the nhs and get people back to work. sarah le brocq has dieted and exercised for years, losing weight only to put it back on again. but forjust over a year, she has been on the drug used for weight loss wegovy, and has lost six stone. she welcomes the manchester trial. there is a narrative out there and has been that people living with obesity are lazy and they don't want to do x, y and z. that is not the case at all.

i have a full—time job, i'm literally nonstop and i live with obesity. it is not the case at all and i think we need to start changing that narrative but, yeah, if it can improve people's health when they have been struggling with a chronic condition and therefore can get back into work as a result of losing weight and improving their health, that's only a positive thing. but experts say action must also be taken to improve the quality of food on sale and reduce sugar, fats and salt. in today's food environment, it is very hard to be healthy because of the nature of how we are flooded with lots of unhealthy, ultra—processed food which is why we have such a high proportion of the adult working population living with overweight and obesity now. the government says obesity causes people to take an average extra four sick days off work a year, and health experts say the trial is a positive way of tackling the problem. it is good to see the government thinking about health and the economy combined. we know from new figures out today that there are 2.75 million people who are economically inactive due to ill—health, so it is clearly going to be

good for the economy if we can get those people back working, but also it is going to be good for those people themselves. there is a strong evidence base that good quality work is actually good for our health, so it is potentially a win—win situation. it is estimated that in manchester, as part of the trial, 250,000 people will receive the mounjaro jab over the next three years in what is hoped will be a game changer in the fight against obesity. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. joining me now is naveed sattar professor of cardiometabolic medicine at the university of glasgow and chair of the uk government's 0besity health care goals programme... iam assuming i am assuming you are welcoming this suggestion, these trials, help us understand what emi you must have in order to be a part of the trial programme? the trial programme _ of the trial programme? tue: trial programme will of the trial programme? tte: trial programme will be somewhat different than what the nice guidelines will recommend. i expect bmi 30—a0

but the nice guidelines along with nhs england initially will start people in the nhs with bmi is over a0 with at least three other conditions linked to their weights of the trial will be different than what from the nhs but it is important because most of the individuals are living with levels of obesity in the population between 30—a0, that is the vast majority of that population. is the vast ma'ority of that population._ is the vast ma'ority of that population. just in terms of how this — population. just in terms of how this will _ population. just in terms of how this will be _ population. just in terms of l how this will be implemented because it is linked with working, the idea is to enable people to lose weight in order for them to be fit enough to work, is that the right way of going about this was my goal yes, i think all options are open. i think the piece you had before the interview was very well done, one of the points made by one of the people speaking is that actually helping people lose weight so that they feel better and have

less fatigue, more energy and are able to do activities that make a living much more easy and allow them to go back to work will actually improve their self—esteem so that they will feel better, healthier and happier. if they are able to contribute to the economy, clearly it is a win—win and thatis clearly it is a win—win and that is the key point. the actual mechanics of how the trial will work i'm not completely sure, but the funding is definitely been given and therefore, we need trials like this to see with the benefits are but also the trials to work out on how we can make it work for the community for people. not only is it potentially going to help people get back into work, but also there is an opportunity to help men people who are perhaps struggling with their weight when they are at work, having fatigue with productivity where it is not where they would like it is not where they would like it to be, we need to look at all of that evidence and look at the holistic benefits of these drugs are crossed not

just health, but also across people's productivity and how they feel in fatigue levels for example. a fascinating point you make because these injections, how do they work? do people stop —— start putting weight on when they come off of the injections and that comes to the point of linking it to work, if someone does not get a job and is on these injections through these schemes, does not then get a job, do they then come off of these injections and thereby put the weight on again, how is it facilitated? t again, how is it facilitated? i don't know the specifics about actually, the drugs work up by reducing the foodways that people feel or cravings, reduces cravings and leaving it fundamentally less. when you stop the drugs generally people put weight back on but there is proportion of the population who have lost so much weight and change other aspects of

their lifestyle, diet, physically activity, and are able to sustain that weight loss long term, perhaps a percentage of the population will only need the drugs after, intermittently, we don't know, those are also trials that need to be done. for the possibility to be done. for the possibility to help people make fundamental changes to their lifestyle that they can can sustain, with either no drug, partial drug or perhaps some more a majority will require the continuation of the drug but the drug reduces foodways meaning you eat less and lose weight but also your capability to be physically active is improved in other aspects of health is improved as well. fire in other aspects of health is improved as well.— in other aspects of health is improved as well. are there any neaative improved as well. are there any negative aspects _ improved as well. are there any negative aspects of _ improved as well. are there any negative aspects of these - negative aspects of these injections?— negative aspects of these injections? negative aspects of these in'ections? , , ., , injections? yes, when you first orthe injections? yes, when you first or the drug _ injections? yes, when you first or the drug zip _ injections? yes, when you first or the drug zip to _ injections? yes, when you first or the drug zip to change - injections? yes, when you first or the drug zip to change the i or the drug zip to change the way you eat because there is nausea and vomiting and other symptoms linked to the gi.

system but in a majority of since people they transit and there is a small portion people who find the drugs are too strong and are too sensitive to take them but 80—90% can take the drugs and after a period of couple of months, they feel generally well and often the quality of life is improved. the other major issue with these drugs at the moment for roll—out in the nhs is the cost. the costs have come down, probably one of lowest in the uk compared to anyone else in the world, but the numbers who stand to benefit are substantial and at this moment we cannot currently afford to give the drugs to everyone who could potentially stand to benefit from them. so those are the highest risks initially thatis the highest risks initially that is why nice and nhs england will probably recommend able with a bmi above a0. that should widen down to 35 and 30 subsequently as hopefully the evidence continues to mount with the benefits and their safety and, as hopefully there

is more competition and the drug costs come down so they are more affordable. at the point i would say and again mentioned nicely in the clip before, is that we must tackle prevention in the food environment and the physical activity environment at the same time because the drugs are not the only solution here, we must improve the environment so that helps people lead healthier lives without any conscious effort, that is the reality we have to get to as well. ., ~ reality we have to get to as well. . ~ , ., ., , well. thank you for giving us that bigger _ well. thank you for giving us that bigger picture. - well. thank you for giving us that bigger picture. the - well. thank you for giving us that bigger picture. the uk | that bigger picture. the uk government knew obesity mission chair. thank you so much. we will speak to the godfather of hollywood, al pacino as he looks back on his career. around the world and across the k this

which received free which taylor swift tickets as a "thank you" for the singer downing street has denied sir keir starmer denied sir keir starmer received taylor swift tickets as a "thank you" for the singer getting a police escort to her concerts at wembley in august. it has emerged that the prime minister met taylor swift backstage after one of her london shows. taylor swift was given a motorbike convoy to protect her on the way to the london stadium despite initial reservations about the arrangement from the london metropolitan police. the concerts were scheduled shortly after three other shows in vienna had been cancelled over a terror threat. let's speak to our political correspondent hannah miller. we have a collection of facts to put together two different cases depending on what you want to believe, what do we know? ,, ., . know? keir starmer received thousands — know? keir starmer received thousands of _ know? keir starmer received thousands of pounds - know? keir starmer received thousands of pounds worth l know? keir starmer received | thousands of pounds worth of tickets element to see taylor swift at her concerts in june and swift at her concerts injune and in august. swift at her concerts in june and in august. those in august as she say came after her concerts in vienna had to be

cancelled because of a terror plot so when she came to london, taylor swift was given a motorbike convoy to protect her on the way to the stadium. it's understood the police had reservations about whether that would breach the kind of normal protocols of a motorbike convoy like that would normally be for royals or diplomats and it's understood that downing street who were involved in one way or another and conversation certainly the government were involved in conversations about whether she should be afforded that extra protection. it's not necessarily hugely unusual, you would expect the home secretary for example to be having conversations with police about what kind of protection should happen at a major event or even though the police are operationally independent, we have also been told by sources

within government that keir starmer�*s team were involved in conversations with taylor swift's team as well. all of that particular means downing street has now had to answer questions about whether or when keir starmer got his free tickets, whether that was as a thank you for the extra security that taylor swift was given. downing street denies that. the prime minister's official spokesperson says they completely reject that characterisation. he was invited by her record label, universal music. he went back stage, understood afterwards, to meet taylor swift for ten minutes and downing street say they discussed the southport murders which of course happened at a taylor swift themed dance party. we should say as well, keir starmer has since paid back the money for these tickets after a whole row of emerged about the freebies that he had been receiving, downing street tonight say it is with the government to have

conversations and a dialogue around arrangements pertaining to major offence and to ensure major offence go forward smoothly and safely, but this is a row that is rumbled on for weeks and certainly raises questions, one way or another about the way in which downing street had handled so the media around it and telling the story and the narrative that has been allowed to emerge.— and the narrative that has been allowed to emerge. thank you so much, hannah. _ one of the biggest film stars of all time, al pacino has been delivering larger than life performances since the 70s, including his most famous roles in the godfather, scarface. now at the age of 8a, after becoming a father for a fourth time, he's written his first ever autobiography. 0ur entertainment reporter colin paterson has been to los angeles to meet him. great meeting you. great! al pacino, the oscar winning actor, has for the first time written a story of his own life. al pacino. yes. the autobiography deals a lot

with family and fatherhood. and you became a father again last year. it's wonderful. you know, i have this little person. everything he does is interesting to me, you know? so, 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, you know, i'd want to be around for this child. of course i did. but things happen, and i hope i am. you're my older brother, and i love you. the godfather was the film which made him a star. don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. but the book also deals with the hard times, including in 2011 when he found his bank accounts were empty. i was out of money, i was gone. and my accountant was in prison. you go into the amount of money you were spending every month. oh, my god. $a00,000 a month. and didn't know about it. how does that happen? you've got to be dumb enough, first of all. one possible way of making money, even after his death, is through ai and his digital likeness.

i'm not worried. i know that my children are going to take over when i'm gone and they'll take care of it. you trust them to? yeah, i trust them, i trust them. you're going to give them any stipulations, say, right, "don't let my image do this." no, no, i don't care about that. 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. 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 up for one now? of course. there we go. yeah, sure. come on, al pacino wants his star on the hollywood walk of fame. colin paterson, bbc news, los angeles. i can't believe he doesn't have a star. you watching bbc news. it's a children's game that has been played since the 1800s. but scandal has engulfed

this year's world conker championships in northamptonshire after one of the winners was accused of cheating. king conker — otherwise known as 82—year—old david jakins — is being investigated after finally winning the title on his a6th attempt. it turns out there was something unusual in his pocket. graham satchell reports. the world of conkers has gone bonkers with allegations of cheating at the highest level. the controversy is focussed on this man king conker, also known as 82—year—old david jakins. he's accused of using a conker made of steel and obliterating his opponents' nuts with one hit. allegations he denies. load of nonsense. no other word for it. well, nothing's happened, you know. i've been playing conkers, played conkers and won. good morning, ladies and gentlemen! the world conkers championship started in the 60s. there've always been strict rules. no baked or pickledl conkers are allowed. and the bootlace has to be at least eight inches long. i today, conkers are still drilled and laced independently. 0pponents pick them randomly from a bag.

the championship's organising committee has taken the allegations of cheating seriously and started an investigation. the initial indications are that it's all completely innocent, so we're looking into video evidence. we've got a video. our initial investigations seem to show that he's done the right thing, but we haven't had a chance to finish the investigations yet. there's still some more people we need to talk to. this is the phone footage the committee has been examining. mrjakins, in the green, appears to put one conker in his pocket, then takes out another from a different pocket and throws it into the crowd. could the one still in his pocket be made of steel? although the investigation isn't finished, it's likely mrjakins will keep his trophy. he admits carrying a steel conker, but says he used it simply to amuse children. god save the king! if the world has gone a bit nuts, the reputation of the championship has been bruised rather than smashed, with the committee adamant this is a case of complaints

of a sore loser and not, in the end, cheating. graham satchell, bbc news. my my goodness, i'm loving that fashion, where could you get thatjacket? a british woman has just become the youngest female and only the second ever briton to climb the world's ia highest peaks. 23—year—old adriana brownlee started with everest and finished this month on the summit of shisha pangma in tibet. so, it all started when i was about eight years old and my father was the one doing mountaineering at the time, and when he came back from his expeditions i thought he was one of the most amazing humans in the world so i wanted to replicate exactly what he was doing in life. so i sat in my primary school classroom one day i wrote a letter to myself saying i wanted to climb up mount everest and i wanted to be famous and inspire other people. so 12 years later, that is exactly what i did. it was a most incredible feeling, coming up towards the summit,

it was about an hour before the summit that i knew i was going to do it, because i saw the people that were before us coming back down the mountain and i knew they won so far ahead, so i knew the summit was in breach. to be able to know that fact, it brought tears to my eyes. there's always moments in your mind where you are thinking, is it safe, is it possible? there's been times in the mountains where we had avalanches nearly hit us and kill us essentially, and those moments you think, is this a good idea or not? then you remembered a bigger goal you have in your life. we are clearly approaching the final stop for the night. the reaction has been amazing and i've had so much support from the uk, spain, my other home country and it has been magical to read the comments on the support on social media. i would say, in general, always follow your dreams in life no matter how unconventional.

it doesn't have to be mountaineering, it can be any dream you have. it might be a bit too early to start decking the halls, but the royal mint have unveiled their new christmas coin, and for the seventh year running �*the snowman' is taking a starring role. raymond briggs�* classic character is depicted decorating his christmas tree in the coin, which has become an annual tradition. hello. areas of heavy and, in places, thundery rain to take us through tonight, but it won't be a cold night by any means. now if i show you the temperature — normally this is how temperatures compared to normal over the next few days, the oranges and the reds show temperatures above average, peaking really on wednesday and thursday, but remaining above average as we go through into the weekend. driving it all is this area of low pressure. it's allowing those southerly winds, but because of its proximity, is why we're going to see those areas of rain. so for the night ahead, it's going to be a case of heavy, thundery rain in the south

and west to begin with, pushing its way northwards and eastwards. some drier, clearer spells east anglia and the south—east later on and temperatures not dropping a massive amount — ten to ia or 15 degrees. that's not a million miles away where it should be in an afternoon, never mind first thing on a wednesday morning in october. so to start the day, lots of cloud in the north and west. still some areas of rain around thundery for! or 2. it's going to come and go. northern england, scotland, northern ireland during the morning, linger though into the afternoon for some across scotland. we then see another batch of rain develop across wales and the south west and the channel islands later, but with some clearer skies. lincolnshire, east anglia and the south—east. bit of sunshine through the afternoon here could lift temperatures to around 21 or 22 degrees. that's around six degrees above where we should be for this stage in the year. another batch of heavy thundery rain then works its way northward and eastwards as we go through wednesday night and into thursday, affecting most parts actually, with some clearer skies in the west later. so it might turn a bit fresher here in the west by the end of the night, but still temperatures in double figures, if not

mid teens for some. but here's the chart for thursday. instead of southerly winds, as those weather fronts go through, it's west or south—westerly ones, so the winds will be as strong but still not cold winds at that early rain across parts of scotland, typically north and east, maybe through central areas clears. sunny spells for the vast majority, but we could see some showers, even some lengthier ones around these western areas around the irish sea in particular with some blustery winds. but away from that, with the sunshine out and lighter winds, it may actually feel a little bit warmer than wednesday. into friday, we start to inject a bit more moisture into the atmosphere, so more cloud around. still some sunny spells through central eastern areas in the west, though the cloud will be thickening up through the day. outbreaks of rain become heavy and prolonged, the winds strengthening as well, and we could see some pretty rough seas around parts of wales and the south—west, too. that rain spreading eastwards on friday night.

hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. asked you have to put this in the context of our ongoing communications and concerns about the amount of humanitarian assistance that have made it to palestinian citizens. they say that israel needs to improve what it's doing, radically, within 30 days, and don't forget that within that 30 days is the us presidential election.

so there could be a sense here, in which the israelis could run down the clock. not enough has been going in to the southern areas of gaza and nothing has been going in to the north. we just had small breakthrough where we took in some 12 trucks and a truck—load of petrol. but it is just not enough. the us issues an ultimatum to israel — allow more aid to gaza, or military assistance could be cut. a strong warning from the biden administration — we'll take a look at what comes next. also on the programme. thomas tuchel is to take over as england's new football manager suceeding gareth southgate — what will he bring to the team? and will there be an national insurance rise in the uk's upcoming budget?

prime minister sir keir starmer tells the bbc he hasn't ruled one out.
