Got to have somewhere to deposit it. So the rules that were announcing also cover the ability of businesses to deposit cash in a location thats convenient to them. But convenience is a difficultjudgment. To maintain the current provision of free access to cash, for now, the new rules will state that people should have to travel no more than a mile in urban areas to withdraw or deposit cash. In rural areas, the distance has been set at three miles. Theres going to be situations where people are very reliant on Public Transport and if theres bad Public Transport in an area, then three miles might seem like a hike to the himalayas. Whats important is that this recognises that the banks have a duty to protect their customers and to make sure that those who still rely on cash, which is so many of us, continue to be able to access it. If they fail in that duty, banks could be fined by the city watchdog. But Bank Branches are closing at a rate of more than 50 a month. So, the answer may be Banks Sharing Premises. The trouble is, progress is slow. So far, only seven have opened permanently in the uk. For those who want to save cash, theres still a long battle ahead. Kevin peachey, bbc news. A charity which supports children and young People Living in poverty says its seeing more families living in destitution this year than last. Buttle uks new figures suggest that 60 of the 122,000 Children It Supports Are Living In Extreme Poverty a 15 increase since last year. Many of those the charity sees are also experiencing Mental Health issues. Lets talk to buttle� s ceo, joseph howe. He also chairs the coalition to end child poverty.

Absolutely, a good question. Children can you expand on that . Absolutely, a good question. Children are can you expand on that . Absolutely, a good question. Children are being i a good question. Children are being shut out of it essentially through the increase in Mental Health issues and no support or very little support for them. It is also around things like they are going without the basic essentials, the right clothes to go to school. We hear from our Support Workers on the front line that there are children not going to school because they havent got the right shoes to fit in. They are worried about the stigma, bullying. This all started in covid and Mental Health issues have increased from there. Yes, it is free to go to school, but there are a heck of a lot of costs around it. If you are not getting basic needs met, it is very difficult to build the desire to go in and see your peers and mix with them. How do ou identi your peers and mix with them.

Yes, one| part of this report is we are trying to highlight, this is what it looks like in the 21st century. Also for the young people we are supporting, many of them face what we term adverse childhood experiences. Whether that is around they have experienced domestic abuse, a lot of the families we support have had empty shells of housing and move to new areas and through our grants we provide all of the items and activities they may need in a new area. But these young people are having to face up to layer upon layer of adverse experiences. fiften layer of adverse experiences. Often governments layer of adverse experiences. Often governments only layer of adverse experiences. Often governments only react layer of adverse experiences. Often governments only react when layer of adverse experiences. Often governments only react when you put a price to things. What is the legacy of this generation of children that are living in total destitution, as you have described it, because the government will say there is help, but are they accessing it and is it making any difference . Accessing it and is it making any difference . ,. , , difference . The report shows, this is from this difference . The report shows, this is from this year, difference . The report shows, this is from this year, now, difference . The report shows, this is from this year, now, childrens i is from this year, now, childrens dreams of being entirely sapped, their thoughts about the future are completely negative essentially, so moore does need to be done. But it is notjust about money. We need to see real leadership from government, however the government is, and in the future, around tackling child poverty. And we want to see a Cabinet Minister for children and young people. Every day we have then got someone making their best effort at approving children cosmic lives because this report is damning. Bier . Because this report is damning. Very cuickl , because this report is damning. Very quickly. Finally. Because this report is damning. Very quickly, finally, joseph, you say that the government should be it, why should they be tackling. I am trying to push on this, why should they be tackling child poverty, destitution, over perhaps the mike windt issue . Do mike windt issue . This is a real cost to childrens lives at the moment and it is 4. 2 million children living in poverty but it is a burden on the economy going forwards. They dont have a feature currently. We need them to be able to grow strong, to getjobs in this economy and it is about investing in them now not leaving it or taking money away from them. Thank you, joseph. Across the uk, there are around 700 people waiting for a Liver Transplant, but with a shortage of donors, decisions have to be made about who gets one first. A Computer Algorithm chooses which patients to prioritise, but it means younger people are often waiting around four times longer than patients over 60. Our health correspondent, catherine burns, has more. Shona and sarah know all about waiting. Theyre both 31 and, between them, theyve spent nearly five years on the transplant list. Now shona has her new liver. Sarah is still waiting. Some days are really, really quite dark. Sarah and her family think her age and a rare combination of conditions are working against her. Shes struggling and knows other patients are getting transplants before her. I dont like pitting myself against other people. When i see them get their livers, that doesnt make me feel frustrated because theyre getting a chance. But you want a chance too. There are more people waiting for Liver Transplant surgery than there are donated organs. So, in 2018, a new system, a Computer Algorithm, was brought in to decide which patients would make it to an operating theatre first. It tends to prioritise those who are most likely to die soonest, which in practice means older people. Those older patients have seen Average Waiting Times fall. So, now for over 60s, its less than 50 days. For a 50 year old, it goes up to around 90. 30 year olds have the longest wait theyd expect it to be more than 200 days. For me, sitting on the sidelines observing this, its very hard to see young lives being slowly wasted. Life is tough on the waiting list for all patients, no matter what their age is. But some surgeons are worried the system disadvantages younger people. Theyre considered to be stable, not at risk of dying, but their physical condition is deteriorating all the time. Their Mental Health is jeopardised. The Current System of allocation needs a tweak. I think we need to be giving young people the same opportunity as older patients. The simple reality is there arent enough livers to go around and we have to make some very difficult decisions. What we must do is prevent patients from dying on the Liver Transplant waiting list. So, what we do is maximise this very precious gift and transplant those who are most in need. Last year, 69 people died before they could get a Liver Transplant. The nhs says the algorithm is saving lives. Shona is one of them. I feel like before transplant, i i was just fighting to stay alive. And now i can actually enjoy my life. After nearly four years waiting for a transplant, shona loves being active again. Organ donation has essentially. Given me a Second Chance at life. Im going to do everything in my power to make my donor family proud because i want that donor to live on in me. If you could enable somebody else to have a life, then youre like their little angel. Youre their hero. Catherine burns, bbc news. Ukraine says it will significantly increase its production of drones. The unmanned devices are playing a significant role in the war, with both sides using them for attacks and reconnaissance. Ukraine has surprised Russian Naval commanders with both the range and success of its sea drones. So could these innovative weapons signal an end to russias naval dominance in the black sea . Our security correspondent, frank gardner, and the team at bbc verify have been taking a look. In the last month the ukrainians have managed to hit back by sending explosive sea drains, all the way round crimea to hit russian targets and this is what one of the sea drawings looks like. Technique called and include surface vessel. They are 5. 5 metres long, made by the ukrainians, the manufacturers say they have a range of around 500 kilometres and they can carry a warhead of at least 300 kilograms of high explosives. Using the coastline and the stars, we have verified this footage taken on the 4th of august, filmed from one of the sea drones when it hit a russian Landing Craft shipped in the russian port. That is a long way inside russian territory. Here is what the ship looked liked the next day. You can see very clearly it is damaged, listing to one side, despite russian denials. Here it is being repaired, that is a substantial whole balloon in the side. Ukraine has also used sea drones to hit a Russian Oil Tanker taking supplies to russian bases in syria. Ukraine sea drones do not always get through. Russia says it has been able to intercept them before they reach the target. What is the overall effect here . In the sea drones still give ukraine an advantage in the black sea . These attacks have advantage in the black sea . These attacks have a advantage in the black sea . These attacks have a strong advantage in the black sea . These attacks have a strong significant i attacks have a strong Significant Impact on morale in the kremlin, also among the russian population, and i believe that the ship being hit by the ukraine navy with relatively cheap and expensive maritime robots must be particularly painful to putin personally because he has given resources to raise the russian navy from its knees. Ukraine is caettin russian navy from its knees. Ukraine is getting help russian navy from its knees. Ukraine is getting help from russian navy from its knees. Ukraine is getting help from intelligence, is getting help from intelligence, Surveillance Drones flying from italian air base to the black sea to spy italian air base to the black sea to spy on Russian Naval activity. The drones can see forward hundreds of kilometres as they fly. Sea drones are still in development, they can be electronically intercepted or shot out of the water. Russia remains a threat to any ship coming in and out of ukraine ports. For ukraine, the sea drones are a highly Cost Effective way of hitting back at Theirjoint Invading neighbour russia. Frank gardner, bbc news. Let us return to one of our top stories.

Cash use obviously is declining, us more about this. Cash use obviously is declining, as us more about this. Cash use i obviously is declining, as more people turn to contactless cards, to Digital Payments on smartphones. But there is still a large group of people, millions, as many as 8 million, who still rely on cash for day to day lives, perhaps they find it helpful to budget with it, they may struggle with some of the Digital Payments. There has been a campaign to try and assist those people, make sure that they still have access to cash. The problem is we have got Bank Branches closing, etienneclosing at the rate of 50 a month, well concerned people will not be able to access cash and on the other side businesses which accept cash would not be able to take it to a local bank to deposit their notes and coins. As a result, they may ultimately decide it is too much hassle and decide to no longer take cash. Clearly that will cause a problem for many people. What the government has announced is it has had some new legislation passed a bit earlier this year, new policy Statement Released today which says it will ensure, via the city regulator, financial conduct authority, the current provision of cash is Still Available into the future. So, in practicalterms, that probably means if you live in an urban area, you should not travel any more than a mile to access cash withdrawal and deposit services. And in a ruralarea, It Withdrawal and deposit services. And in a rural area, it will be three miles. ~. , , miles. When do the fines come in . There is this miles. When do the fines come in .

So, there is a whole set of standards banks should keep up to and as part of that now this will be ensuring there is access to cash and the access is free, so it will be free atms and so on. If they fail to do that, they face these fines at any time. There will be some discussion on this now. Plenty of debate on the exact detail of how it would work and when the fines will kick in and also how much the fines could be. The fines could be. Kevin, very cuickl , the fines could be.

That access will be around. The other big solution being investigated and still only a handful of these around the country at the moment, shared premises, so Banks Sharing Premises in so called banking hubs where customers of any banking hubs where customers of any bank can go in and deposit cash and withdraw cash and get some advice on finances too.

Researchers say theyve created a lifelike reconstruction of the face of the scottish prince known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, 200 years after his death.

What is really different about this, not just they have created this 3d image of the face and printed it out, 3d print out of the face to create an actual face of Bonnie Prince Charlie, but they have used what they call death mask techniques, they have tried to work out what he looked like when he was 2a, so at the time of the Jacobite Rising in 1745. What you see is an image of a young man with long ringlets, very distinctive eyes and nose and mouth and they have even added some blotches and some spots to his skin, i suppose because he would have been a young man at the time of the rising. When you look at it, it really does look like the face of an actual real person who you can imagine having been alive and that i think was the purpose of it, the kind of cut through the myths there are about Bonnie Prince Charlie, to reimagine him as a real person, a 24 year old man leading this extraordinary rising, this rebellion, in scotland nearly 300 years ago. find rising, this rebellion, in scotland nearly 300 years ago.

Councils in england have been encouraged by the government to open pubs earlier on sunday ahead of the womens world cup final. It follows calls for ministers to relax licensing laws, to allow fans to buy alcohol as early as 10am. But changing the legislation in time could be difficult, asjoe inwood reports. Across the country, the success of the lionesses has been matched with packed pubs and bustling bars. Millions have watched their route to the world cup final, with sundays clash with spain expected to draw record audiences for the competition and provide a major boost to the hospitality sector. We are expecting a nice boost and were really pleased that the government has encouraged people to come together to celebrate in pubs and to help people open and get as many people as possible celebrating. We are expecting a million extra customers on that sunday morning, and that could give a boost of up to £40 million for the sector. Kick off is at 11 on sunday morning, which means pubs without the right licences wont be able to serve alcohol before the match. The government says it wants them to be able to open earlier. The british beer and Pub Association wants them to be able to serve alcohol too. But to do that legally, pubs need to get a special licence, which takes five working days. Since england only won their semi on wednesday, there was never going to be enough time for that to happen. Parliament could give blanket permission, but theyre on summer break, meaning its now down to local councils to approve temporary licences on a case by case basis, and in record time. So, what do pubs without permission do . They can open for coffee, for breakfast, for bacon sarnies. So, you can come along to pubs, bars, get in the spirit and in the mood in advance. Have a morning coffee, come and watch the match and then have a drink to celebrate when, hopefully, the women do win the world cup and take it home. As the cliche goes, on sunday, the lionesses will be hoping to bring football home. Millions of their fans will be hoping they can watch them do that down the pub. Joe inwood, bbc news.
