Zambia end up third after theirfirst ever womens world cup win, a 3 1victory against costa rica. Very busy, keep up to date with everything on the bbc sport website. You need eyes going everywhere but for now thatis that is it. Thank you so much, tanya. Lets go back to our top story now, the uk government has confirmed funding for two new Carbon Capture projects. But its also announced that will grant hundreds of new licenses for oil and gas drilling in the north sea. Earlier, i spoke to lord deben the former chair of the independent committee on climate change, which advises parliament on progress on emissions targets. He warned drilling for fossil fuels would risk uk leadership in the globalflight against climate change. Having more oil and gas, but particularly oil from the north sea going ahead to ten years� time is really not sensible economically because by the time we get to 2030, there will be a world which will be awash with oil because all the countries in the world now are signed up to reduce their fossil fuel use. And so we will find ourselves being able to buy wherever we want the oil that we need. But in the meantime, we will have lost our leadership. How on earth can we ask african and Asian Countries to move direct from fossil fuels to renewables and not do their own exploration for oil and gas . If we do it, we have lost our leadership by making this choice. Ill come back to that final point in a moment. But the government says this is about Energy Security. It wont detract from their net zero targets do you buy either of those things . Well, it really isnt needed for Energy Security because well be able to buy from All Over The World. And we are not talking about dependence for gas on putin. Were talking about countries All Over The World that produce oil. So i dont think it stands up the security argument. And of course, it may be british oil, but well have to buy it at the world price. We wont get it any cheaper because people producing oil in britain sell it at the world price. But do you accept the argument that they can still extract the oil, have these new licences but still meet their net zero targets . Its not fundamentally a collision . Well, it is a collision because britain has led the world to net zero. We were the first country under a conservative government actually to go for net zero at the great cop 26 meeting in glasgow. We led the rest of the world to sign up. Even china and india, whove never joined in before, have signed up to net zero. But what is happening now is that we have said, even though we sought at glasgow to get a deal to cut the amount of oil we produced, we are very fortunate to have a common view of all Political Parties in which the Conservative Party has led the way. It ought to stick to that because that is what is going to save us all and our children from the devastating effects of climate change. Lets not kid ourselves. We are in an existential threat and we can see that by the fires All Over The World and the terrible floods All Over The World. If we dont understand just how serious it is, we really have to rethink. And after all, when a party has led the way, its a pity if it steps back from it. Local authorities across the uk say some Vulnerable People are waiting years for the social care they need. Research for the bbc suggests that in around a quarter of council areas, some had to wait more than a month on average just to be assessed for social care. And thats having a knock on effect on the nhs, as patients become stuck in hospitals, meaning fewer beds are available. Wyre davies reports. I cant afford to waste time at my age. I could go any day. Lily is 96 years old. Shes frail and needs help with everyday tasks. But in the words of her friends, shes as sharp as a tack and she knows what she wants. I have to get out. Ive had enough. Ijust cant stand any more. Lilys been in hospitalfor 11 months, and is a striking example of a common problem. A patient well enough to go home, but unable to leave hospital because theres no care available. With the help of friends, shes been keeping a video diary. So whats stopping you now from going home . No carers. Were just waiting because you cant find any carers that would care for me. There are a lot of people like me and were holding up beds and everything, so they should be pushing us out. Im lying here in the praying position. The praying position, yes. Carers like rebecca and jessica, who work here in the vale of glamorgan, Love Theirjobs but are under daily pressures. For retired policeman nigel, who has multiple sclerosis, theyre crucial for his quality of life, after he spent three months waiting for care. If it wasnt for the carers,. At this time of the day now, i would be stuck in the bed. Its like solitary confinement. But the system is under huge strain. We found that private companies have handed Back Thousands of Care Contracts to councils across the uk, the equivalent of more than 70,000 hours. Staffing was the most common reason. Our local asda pays £13 to start with, and to start you off with no previous experience, so we cant really compete. The reported staffing crisis in the care sector has a direct impact on the availability of beds in hospitals across the uk. So today weve got 58 patients who are what we call medically fit for discharge. Thats nearly three wards of patients that do not need to be here. Its not sustainable, and i think something does need to change. Weve been told many times that higher pay for carers and extra money for councils to make that happen might be part of the solution here. But where might that money come from . This is the necessary spending on social care thats going up. Five years ago, Gerry Holtham wrote a paper for the welsh government, anticipating the inevitable rising cost of care. His conclusions then havent changed. The basic notion of a ring fenced tax to cope with social care i think still has to be on the table. The uk government and the devolved administrations do have the powers to raise taxes to pay for social care if they wanted. They say they are spending billions more, but councils say much of that is being soaked up by rising costs. At least lily, after waiting almost a year, is now going home. Oh, my trees, some of the trees are still there. Two carers visit four times daily, allowing her to live as she wishes. So whats it like to be back home . Wonderful. Bubbling over inside of me is the fact that im home. The vale of Glamorgan Council has apologised unreservedly for the delay. And although the health board said the level of care she needed contributed to her stay in hospital, it understood her concerns. Lily isjust glad to be home and finally enjoying the view from her own window. Wyre davies, bbc news. Live now to oxford where we are joined by The Economist sir andrew dilnot, warden of Nuffield College oxford and chair of the geospatial commission. You concluded in your report over a decade ago for the Social Care System was not fit for purpose, how can we be in this place in 23 . I wish i can we be in this place in 2371 wish i knew, matthew. It is really very distressing. The stories that we have just heard a its almost not a surprise weve known for almost a decade that there is simply not a resource going into social care. And many of us are living longer that is fantastic and many of us england lately and your package was a clear example when people are cared for it they could have happy and fruitful lives. We need more of it and we need to accept that we all have to pay some more. Somehow the political system under both the main parties in england and around the whole of the uk just not has not managed to get proper reform over the line. Its distressing.

There are three groups of people about three groups of people about affected by this. The people who need the care and their families who are waiting for care and not getting as much as they need. Families who are anxious and hard press. Two people who are providing the care, on the whole these are wonderful people doing a greatjob, but they are under unreasonable pressure and councils across the uk are having to make horrible decisions with inadequate resources around who does good care and who does not. But what is even more clear now perhaps it was ten years ago is that it is not just those providing care in her press. To people who are providing the care, on the whole these are wonderful people doing a greatjob, but they are under unreasonable pressure and councils across the uk having to make horrible decisions with inadequate resources around who does get karen who does not.

It also put in place a cap on the maximum amount of people will end up paying even if they were not the poorest so everyone can feel comfortable to go ahead and make arrangements for their own care and to be looked after properly. We do that relatively straightforwardly. Its Worth Remembering Thatjeremy Hunt before he was chancellor was exchequer of the social Care Committee and set in a report he helped to rate that the expenditure in extra £7 billion per year on social care by the end of this parliament will now he is in position to do it.

They have forced the government to improve the offer from the original 3 to now 6. 5 , the week before this offer was made to rishi sunak was saying that he was not in the mind to implement the recommendation from the independent review body is so our members should be part of the action taken, not only for their pay but also for the future of education and the funding of that. We have been reassured from the Department For Education that this funding will not come from Front Line Spending for early years education orfor sand or Front Line Spending for early years education or for sand or 0ort School Buildings and that this offer means that there will be an extra 900 million in the School Budgets in future years to be able to pay for it. ,. , future years to be able to pay for it.

We always knew that restoring pay restoration for teachers was going to take more than one pay review frowned. Arm members have taken that action and did not do so lately. They never wanted to be on the picket line they wanted the government to take them seriously, to recognise that we are in the biggest Teacher Recruitment and retention crisis that this country has ever seen. That over1 million children are in classes of over 31 and two many Head Teachers are saying that they are still finding it difficult to recruit specialist teachers in arts, music, drummer and it and that has an impact on childrens education every day. So our members will continue to campaign for better funding for education because we believe that the professionals and those Support Staff and teachers and leaders deserve to work in a world class education system, but our children deserve to be taught in one as well. Do you think it fixes the retention problem, a look at the stacks, one in three teachers leaves the profession every five years. Aha, profession every five years. Custom way to doing that. This pay offer means that the salary that the government promised in 2019 for teachers, rises to 30,000. A teacher pay has not kept up with other graduate professionals and teaching is not flexible that other graduate professions can be. So it does not solve that issue at all. And we want to sit down with the government to talk to them about what their Long Term Strategy is for recruitment. It also for retaining those experienced teachers that we needin those experienced teachers that we need in our classrooms. We will sit down in coming weeks to talk to them about workload and Accountability Systems that drive our workload. 0ur systems that drive our workload. Our members say that that is something along with pay that means that they leave the profession. So we will continue to for better funding and working conditions for our members so that our children can learn and better conditions. Better conditions. Thank you for oininr us better conditions.

I this month marks 55 years since britains first, black, female tv reporter made her debut. . In the 1960s, Barbara Blake hannah, like many others of the windrush generation, came to the uk in search of new opportunities. But she faced constant racism and after eight years she returned to jamaica. Shes been talking to the bbc s simi jolaoso. July 31st, 1968, the Times Newspaper printed a spread on Barbara Blake hannah. The night before, shed become the first black woman to report the news on british television. Yes, to be in the times, old page, to be a journalist on television is the highest praise for a journalist to be. And id achieved that. That was really cool. That was really nice. Barbara reported on Community Stories eamonn andrews� show on thames television. That was until her contract came to an end afterjust nine months. Too many viewers had complained about having a black person on their screens. You just have to accept it. That was all part of the, youre not good enough. Youre black. Youre not good enough. Racism was a big awakening. She later got a job on atv, a regional channel based in birmingham, but things didnt improve during her six months there. Racism was more pronounced in birmingham, on the set and on the streets. We were at a party, at a bar, a glass broke and splinters jumped up and cut me. And some drunk white girls said, oh, its red. She thought my blood was going to be another colour. How did you cope with all the racism that you faced in the uk . Because you were there for about eight years. You would ignore it. You ignore that kind of behaviour as best you can. Some people cant. I guess i learned how to, at least for eight years, until i thought enough is enough, time to leave. You know, why stay where youre hated . Barbara moved behind the scenes, working on films and tv shows. She championed jamaicas arts and culture, and founded the reggae film festival. She also continued her journalism, interviewing celebrities and politicians. In 1984, she herself became jamaicas first rastafari senator. Barbara later received an order of distinction from the jamaican government, but to her, one accomplishment matters the most. My greatest achievement is having had a child. Being a mother. Having had a wonderful child. My son, makonnen. All my awards and medals, these are just special gifts along the way. Now 82, barbara hopes her legacy will inspire others. Simijolaoso, bbc news, kingston, jamaica. Madonna has thanked herfamily and friends for their support after she was hospitalised with a serious bacterial infection last month.

The 64 year old, was due to begin a seven month Greatest Hits World Tour in the coming weeks, but had to postpone it after falling ill. The latest From The Ashes Test England very very close because australia currently 309 8 and five wickets in the last little while and 30 runs. Hello there. This month has certainly been a wet one for many, also cool with temperatures below average across much of the uk. For the rest of this week as we head into the first part of august, therell be very little change with it staying unsettled and remaining on the cool side. Now today weve had this area of low pressure moving across the country. Its brought lots of cloud and spells of rain. Some of its been quite heavy at times, but as its pulling away into the north sea, we should see something a little bit drier and quieter as we move through the night. Therell still be some areas of rain northern england, southern scotland, northern ireland. A few showers dotted around, some mist and murk, some low cloud too. Quite warm and muggy in the south, a little bit fresher further north. And in fact, after a fine day across, Northern Scotland will stay clear and cool overnight. Now into tuesday, then a much quieter day. Were in between low pressure systems. Again, well have this swathe of cloud with outbreaks of rain northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england, perhaps north wales. But on either side we should see some sunshine bar the odd shower around. So we should see temperatures a little bit higher, 22 degrees in the south and the winds will be lighter here as well. But the next frontal system starts to work its way in. This area of low pressure, will be a deepening feature. So the winds will start to pick up through tuesday night. Across the south, rain will push its way northwards, however, the northern half of scotland remaining dry with clear skies and remaining on the cool side. Now this unseasonably deep area of low pressure will move across the country during wednesday, so this is more like an autumnal scene rather than early august. Well see gales through the channel, gusts in excess of 50 miles an hour here. 30 to 40 miles an hour, further north. Across england and wales, inland, some heavy rain as well. But again, Northern Parts of scotland will see the driest and the brightest of the weather. Theres the wind gusts on the chart. Just to give you an idea, theyre 30 to 40 mile an hour gusts in the south. And of course, that will impact the temperatures. High teens in the north, maybe just about making 20 or 21 degrees in the south. It wont feel like that with the wind and the rain. That area of low pressure clears away on thursday, opens the floodgates to a cold northerly wind or a cool northerly wind, i should say. So itll be a mixture of sunshine and showers both thursday and friday with that cool northerly wind. And then another area of low pressure arrives just in time for the weekend. Today at six a british man convicted in cyprus of killing his seriously ill wife walks free from prison. David hunter was convicted of the manslaughter of his wife janice, who was suffering from blood cancer.
