and then, there is this from sajid javid.ings we can all do to help contain the spread of this virus, like meeting outdoors where it is possible, and if you can only meet indoors, letting in fresh air. like wearing a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces. that advice raised eyebrows, as mrjavid and his conservative colleagues don't wear masks in the house of commons. this is an issue for individuals to interpret and decide. that is not a mistake by the government, it is in line with its emphasis on personal responsibility, uncommon responsibility, on common sense, and on vaccines. the question is, will this approach keep the virus at a sustainable level for the nhs? well, the rate of hospitalisations in the uk throughout the pandemic looks like this. it is rising, but this is nowhere near the first or the second way. near the first or the second wave. but there are risks here. this is probably the first season where we will have significant amounts of covid circulating as well as flu. people's behaviours have changed.

a consultation has just closed and sajid javid said he'll make a final decision in the coming weeks.. i think it is not only right for someone working in the nhs because naturally there are more likely to come into contact with covid and indeed other viruses but also for those they are caring for. we are people vulnerable in hospital and just like many other countries throughout europe have done this i think it is something that we should actively be looking at. that we should actively be looking at. our political correspondent damian grammaticas is at westminster. he was questioned several times this morning and was very clear every time. he said this is what he is minded to do. the direction is going and having received the results of the consultation that has been going on and he pointed out it has already been happening in social care sector. the deadline for all staff is coming up on november 11 then he said there had been a surge of people coming forward to get vaccinated in the social care sector and there are at only 30,000 are so unvaccinated. many would have legitimate reas

so what you have heard from sajid javid and his government l from sajid javid and his government plansgeries are run? do they understand the challenges? i am not sure they do. — understand the challenges? i am not sure they do, though _ understand the challenges? i am not sure they do, though i _ understand the challenges? i am not sure they do, though i think - understand the challenges? i am not sure they do, though i think they're. sure they do, though i think they're starting to understand. i think for too long, many politicians had their head in the sand as far as the nature of general practice and the crisis that general practice is experiencing, and that's surprising notjust because 90% of nhs care is delivered in general practice but also because when general practice suffers, the rest of the nhs offers as well so you wouldn't have thought that politicians ? michael you would have thought politicians would understand that in engage with it. my understand that in engage with it. my sense is that politicians are starting to get that message, starting to get that message, starting

the health secretary, sajid javid, has written to secondary school students in england, urging them to uk government says all 12—15 year—olds will be offered jabs before the half—term break this month, beginning on friday. but so far in england, only 11% in that age group have been vaccinated. in wales, the figure�*s 24% and in scotland it's 36%. as yet, northern ireland hasn't started vaccinations for 12—15 year olds. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more details. the decision to vaccinate all 12 to 15 year—olds was complicated. the health case was finely balanced, but other factors, like the impact on education through missed school days, meant the uk's chief medical officers decided it should go ahead. for this headteacher in greater manchester, it was the right decision but not one he wants to force on parents. we've made sure we've given all the information to the parents from the local authority. we've been very clear that we are not a vaccination centre. we haven't been effectively promoting vaccinations and we've left it up to the parents and the pupil to make that d

the health secretary, sajid javid says around five million people over the age of 16 have still not had the jab and stresses the pandemic is farfrom over. we've been in the race, a race between a vaccine and a virus. and although we are heading that race, the gap is narrowing. it comes as health leaders urge the return of some restrictions in england like compulsory mask wearing in certain settings. this is the lesson we must learn from the past, to prepare for what looks like an inevitable challenging period, ratherthan looks like an inevitable challenging period, rather than to cross our fingers and stumble into a crisis. but the government says it won't yet bring in it's plan b for england. so, what are the picture from where you are? we'll be discussing the situation from all parts of the uk. also tonight. the home secretary, priti patel is preparing to make a statement to in commons on mps security. we'll bring it to you later in the programme. a woman claims she was injected with a drug at a nightclub as the home secretary urges police to assess urgently a reported rise in drink a

they're not clear what range they're expecting and sajid javid was talking about cases going up to 100,000 know that when cases go up, hospitalisation goes up, as well, even though the death rates are much lower than they were, there are still too many people dying. if theyjust let cases go up, the nhs will fall over and it will not be able to deal with cancer patients. everybody knows someone who is suffering with one of these long—term illnesses and if the nhs cannot deal with them, we will have to go into a lockdown, and nobody wants that, so we should be acting out, and follow the scottish government on these mitigations. they also need to improve on the vaccination in scottish schools. they have reached a point there where half of the secondary school students in the 12—15 year old group have been vaccinated but in england it is only 20% so they need to improve on the vaccination and they do need to look at ventilation, improving ventilation, investing in improving ventilation. doesn't disrupt education at all but will help us get through all of this. the chancellor, rishi sunak, is p
