as we go through into sunday, we will see the london marathon and a few showers cropping up in the afternoonst marathon. the week ahead, another low pressure arriving bringing heavy rain particularly across the south. for the rest of the week, looking drier and brighter and warmer. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines: the home secretary says police must raise the bar, by taking the harassment of women more seriously. her thoughts are echoed by health secretary, sajid javid. what the metropolitan police have said about the reforms that they will be looking at i think is absolutely right. we need to also be looking at what more a government can do to help build that confidence. the army will begin delivering fuel to petrol stations across the uk from monday, after days of queuing at the pumps. and this is the scene alive at holyrood where the queen is arriving to open the sixth session of the scottish parliament. the ceremony would normally take place injuly, but was postponed because of a pandemic for so she is accompanied by her son, prince charles, and by camilla who,

but in britain, where the london marathon went ahead this morning for the first time in two years, fewerple are dying. in fact, thanks to high vaccine uptake across europe, the death rate here is less than half what it is in america. not so in russia,whichas dco deathiekne russians have been vaccinated. when a descendent of the russian royal family was married in st. petersburg, there were 1500 guests and not a mask in sight. this is typical. many russians believe that natural antibodies give natural protection. this is vladimir putin telling erdogan his antibody level is 16. he responds, mine is 100. in israel, vaccines, three of them, including the booster, is the new normal for everyone. >> while nearly 60% of people in developed countries are fully vccinated, in africa, it is barely 4%. cries like the u.s. to lift vaccine export control to free up millions of doses. but in the wealthy west, the rituals of life as we knew it are returning. in france, labis, the kiss on the cheek, is back. that ip as long as the vaccine-resistant mutation of the virus doesn't emerge, but epidemiologist

and in the last few minutes, a winner in the london marathon. llo and welcome to dateline london, i'm geeta guru murthy. it's conference season for the political parties here in the uk — the moment in the year when parties seek to define who they are and where they are going. for sir keir starmer, the labour opposition leader, his first conference speech in person was billed as "make or break". where did it land? and with borisjohnson heading to manchester, if he can manage to fill up his petrol tank, what will conservative conference bring this week? we also head to germany, where a political leader who mastered staying power, angela merkel, is now only a caretaker chancellor whilst the german political class forms a coalition government. what will emerge and what does it mean for germany and europe? and we end today with a brewing storm here in the uk. empty petrol stations, empty supermarket shelves, surging living costs, cuts to benefits, a struggle to see your doctor in person — all combining to create a sense of deep frustration in the uk.

as for the london marathon, it looks like there'll be plenty of sunshine around during the morning. through for those who take a little longer, perhaps, to complete the course. now, as we go on into the evening the showers will continue, particularly across western areas. overnight and into monday morning there'll be a few more pushing in across south wales and southern parts of england. and as for temperatures, we may just start the day on monday a degree or so higher than on sunday morning. and monday will be another day of sunshine and showers. whilst many will be focused across western areas, some again will travel further east during the day. but it's across eastern parts you're most likely to stay dry, with some sunshine. rain gathering to the south—west as monday comes to an end, a bit of uncertainty about how quickly it's wanting to move in. but that's tied in with more weather fronts and another area of low pressure. something to play for in the detail and the position of this going into tuesday, but it's likely to bring another spell of heavy rain and strong winds, particu
