Elsewhere, three israelis have elsewhere, three israelis have died when their vehicle died when their vehicle was fired on near the city was fired on near the city of hebron in the of hebron in the occupied West Bank. Occupied West Bank. With me is Mohamed Taha with me is Mohamed Taha from bbc arabic. From bbc arabic. Lets start with the news of lets start with the news of the bodies of the six hostages the bodies of the six hostages were found. What more do we were found. What more do we know about the operation to find and recover the bodies . Know about the operation to find and recover the bodies . The operation was to secure a the operation was to secure a tunnel where the forces found tunnel where the forces found and alive hostage last week. And alive hostage last week. The israeli forces were trying the israeli forces were trying to clear the tunnel and they to clear the tunnel and they found the bodies there so they found the bodies there so they didnt go there upon didnt go there upon Intelligence Information or Intelligence Information or something, theyjust found them something, theyjust found them while they were searching the while they were searching the tunnel. The circumstances tunnel. The circumstances around the killing, there is an around the killing, there is an exchange of accusations with exchange of accusations with some saying that hamas kill some saying that Netanyahu Minister Benjamin netanyahu should take responsibility for abandoning the hostages. Today is a Big Day abandoning the hostages. Today is a Big Day for abandoning the hostages. Today is a Big Day for israel, abandoning the hostages. Today is a Big Day for israel, it abandoning the hostages. Today is a Big Day for israel, it is is a Big Day for israel, it is sunday and last evening there was a big demonstration asking prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to strike a deal. There is a call from the families of the hostages for the general strike in israel and there is already a strike on the secondary schools which are supposed to start today and did not start. They are calling for the Layabouts Syndicates or unions to call for a strike to try to make this moment where they found the bodies of these hostages are Turning Point to try to convince the israeli government to do some action. The israeli Prime Minister cancelled the weekly meeting of the israeli government that happens every sunday morning. There will be a meeting at 4pm local time to address the issue. This week it was called by the Defence Minister who was already focal about his disagreement with the prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his approach of insisting on having permanent Military Presence of the israeli forces in Gaza Silver Situation in the israeli territory sits on high tension and also on the West Bank and in gaza. Live tojerusalem and our Middle East correspondent, Jon Donnison how much does this add two divisions in the israeli cabinet . It reflects the divisions within the government but also with an israeli society. In his short statement this Benjamin Netanyahu morning said those who kill hostages dont want to deal, referring to the allegation from the Israeli Military that these hostages were brutally murdered in their words by hamas shortly before the bodies were found. But you have to remember back in november last year we had a ceasefire, a temporary ceasefire, a temporary ceasefire, where hostages were being exchanged for palestinian prisoners every day. That went on for about a week with roughly ten hostages per day coming out and a lot of questions being asked about why did israel not continue with that process for a longer period and then some of those we now know has died might have been freed . Certainly that hostage Families Forum seen today that the people whose bodies have been fine today would have been alive today if a Hostage Deal could have been done. We have had heard reports about the Defence Minister disagreeing with Benjamin Netanyahu and accusing him of putting his emphasis on deploying idf over the hostages. The last time the Security Cabinet met earlier this week there are reports of a Shouting Match between the Defence Minister and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Defence Minister saying the insistence on leaving israeli forces in the corridor was blocking a deal and that is something Benjamin Netanyahu has stated he will continue with. Within his government there are also more hardline elements you want israel to do more in the territory and say they will resign from the government bringing it down if a Ceasefire Deal is done. Im talking about the hardline national Security Minister and also the finance minister. They have said they will pull out of the government. So Benjamin Netanyahu is torn as it has been four months of trying to keep its government together but also the pressure building up but also the pressure building up for the Ceasefire Deal not just from diplomats but also from israeli citizens and in particular those hostage families. We have also been hearing about three israelis who have been killed after the vehicle was found on near the city of hebron. What is the latest on that . You will be aware that for the past four or five days there have been intensified israeli dilatory operations in the north of the West Bank targeting palestinian militants. At least 20 people have been killed in those raids and strikes on palestinian cities and israel says it is trying to protect its citizens from attacks. In the south of the West Bank near hebron, the biggest palestinian city in the occupied West Bank, three israeli Police Officers were killed in a Shooting Attack overnight on their car. We have not got the details of their names yet but certainly that is another dangerous development in the West Bank, which the warning is that could be a war in the West Bank similar to what has been happening for the past ten or ii what has been happening for the past ten or 11 months in gaza. Un officials and local Health Workers are preparing to rollout a Mass Vaccination Programme for polio in gaza that will rely on a series of limited pauses in fighting between israeli forces and hamas fighters. The World Health Organization says it will need to vaccinate at least 90 of children under ten for the campaign to succeed. Its campaign was organised after a ten month old baby was partly paralysed by the first case of the virus in two decades. On saturday, medics vaccinated children at one hospital in a symbolic move ahead of the official campaign. From jerusalem our Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell reports. Just two drops. As the un Begins Vaccinating Against Polio In Gaza a dose is easy to give, but carrying out a Mass Immunisation campaign in a Combat Zone is a huge challenge. Parents of the first vaccinated children are relieved. Translation i was worried and afraid because this is scary. The polio disease. This disease makes the children unable to move. Baby abdulrahman was crawling early, but now his mum Worries Hell never be able to walk. He was the first child found to have polio in gaza in 25 years, and it paralysed his leg. Because of the war he wasnt vaccinated and now medical care is limited. Translation he wants to live and be treated. He wants to live and walk like other children. I feel a lot of guilt that he didnt get the vaccination, but i couldnt give it to him because of our circumstances. Displaced five times, the Babys Family now lives in a crowded Tent Camp in Deir Al Balah in central gaza. Raw sewage flows through streets nearby. Conditions are ideal for diseases to spread, especially polio, which is highly infectious. Since discovering the virus, un agencies have been racing to set up an emergency Mass Vaccination Programme, and with war raging, theyve negotiated three localised three day pauses in fighting with israel and hamas. Un officials say the plan is not ideal, but its workable. With No End In Sight to the war, the hope is that at least one new source of suffering can be eliminated. Yolande knell, Bbc News, jerusalem. With me is Mohamed Taha from bbc arabic. We are seeing it live images of the Vaccination Roll out under way and seeing images from a hospital where babies and children are receiving their polio vaccinations. How significant is this in what was potentially a humanitarian crisis with the outbreak of polio . It crisis with the outbreak of olio . , , u, polio . It is very significant, it is a very polio . It is very significant, it is a very happy polio . It is very significant, it is a very happy Moment I Polio . It is very significant, it is a very happy moment when you see some kind of normality in regards of our children going to hospital to have vaccinations. It is very, very delightful in the midst of all the wars happening in the West Bank and in israel and the wars happening in the West Bank and in israeland in the wars happening in the West Bank and in israel and in the north of israel, and funnily enough, it is hard to describe, but not too far from this location in a Refugee Camp there was israeli shelling and one person at least was killed and people are really adamant as you can see that 2000 workers from the local Health Authority in gaza with the corporation of the World Health Organization and unicef, 2000 people are really determined to have this campaign successful. Thank you. Israel says the bodies of six hostages have been recovered from gaza lets speak to jotam confino, correspondent for the telegraph who is in israel. How much do you think this development places additional pressure on the Prime Minister . The fact that there Hostages Forum have called for a day of paralysing the country, it means they are fed up with the situation and your associate from Opposition Figures calling on the public to go and demonstrate. It is becoming abundantly clear that Benjamin Netanyahu has chosen to defeat hamas as his main priority over the hostages. This is what we are left concluding when we see the decisions made in the Security Cabinet only this week when it was floated on that israel will remain in control of the corridor separating gaza from egypt. If they wanted the hostages out to be a compromise on this issue as the Defence Minister has also said that this is simply not the case and people on the Streets Now seeing hostages coming out killed. More hostages coming out dead than alive and that is why they are taking to the Streets Now. 5 why they are taking to the Streets Now. Streets now. As you say, benjamin Streets Now. As you say, Benjamin Netanyahu Streets Now. As you say, Benjamin Netanyahu has Streets Now. As you say, Benjamin Netanyahu has stated the aim in the past of first and foremost Destroying Hamas and foremost Destroying Hamas and without rescuing the hostages but do you think there is this change in tone and stated priority that has been forced in a way by this because we have had the statement from him when he said just in the past half hour that he and his government are committed to achieving a deal to release the remaining hostages. How much do you think that reflects a real shift in his approach or how much do you think that is rhetoric in an attempt to appease . Rhetoric in an attempt to auease . �. ,. , rhetoric in an attempt to auease . �. , appease . Benamin netanyahu is appease . Benamin netanyahu is a Master Of appease . Benjamin netanyahu is a Master Of rhetoric appease . Benjamin netanyahu is a Master Of rhetoric and a Master Of rhetoric and pushing messages to the public and probably the only Prime Minister in the world right now potentially continue to survive such a massive tragedy simply because his way up pushing messages is astonishing. Keeps saying he is committed to releasing the hostages through a deal to keep seeing another thing at the detriment of a Ceasefire Deal which is israel control of the Philadelphia Corridor. Hamas a set for a Ceasefire Israel needs to fully withdraw from gaza and we have the conclusion that this is the priority of Benjamin Netanyahu. I spoke to a senior israeli official a few minutes ago and he said three of the hostages found killed yesterday were actually on a list of those set to be released in a potential ceasefire presented Byjoe Ceasefire presented by Joe Biden Ceasefire presented Byjoe Biden injuly and that is why the Defence Minister said keeping control of the Philadelphia Corridor is not more important than getting a deal which is the only way to get out the remaining hostages alive. , ~ , get out the remaining hostages alive. ~ i.

The European Commission said its a temporary measure to address a technical issue with new equipment but its not said how long it will remain in place. Heres our transport correspondent, katy austin. For a while, it looked like the era of the tiny toiletry was nearly over all major airports in the uk were told to put in new state of the art scanners, allowing the 100ml limit on liquid containers going through Security And Cabin bags to be lifted. There have been delays getting the kit in place at the biggest hubs, but some regional ones had fully installed it beforejune this year and dropped the old rules. Then injune, the government suddenly announced that 100ml restriction was back, and has given no date for scrapping it again. Now any eu airports which had moved over to the new scanners are also having to revert to the old limit. With the equipment needs sorting. The big Issue Weve got now is there is real lack of clarity to the consumers so we are seeing in the busy periods when people are travelling real confusion that entails and people are not sure what the processes are now when theyre travelling with liquids, and we have real disparity, not only across uk airports, but also across the eu as well. Rome and amsterdam are among the locations which had brought in the high Tech Scanning machines. Some others had started to roll them out and it is a very mixed picture but what is for sure that anyone who had the scanners in place and eased their rules are now having to revert to the old rules of 100ml. As with the eu, the uk has given no indication as to when those restrictions will end. Katy austin, Bbc News. Ukraine has launched Drone Attacks. A fire has broken out attacks.

The polls have opened in two eastern states of germany in elections which the Fa Rright is expected to perform strongly. Thousands of demonstrators took part in rallies in Saxony And Thuringia on saturday. The anti immigrant alternative for germany party, or afd, is expected to do well in the election. In the city of erfurt, protesters denounced the afd, as fascists. Police say about 2,000 people attended anti far right rallies in dresden. At an afd rally, one of The Party leaders told supporters that germany needed controlled borders and the expulsion of illegal migrants. Its thought The Party could emerge as the largest in thuringia the vote. Our Europe Correspondent Jess parker has more. These are regional, not national elections. The far right alternative for deutschland has been leading the polls and running a close second in neighbouring saxony. However, because many view The Party as extremist, something they reject, they may struggle to find Coalition Partners in order to actually take power. The man who heads up the afd here in thuringia is a highly controversial figure called bjorn hocke. Hes a talisman of The Partys hard right, and has twice been fined this year for knowingly using a nazi slogan, something he denied. This vote may also deliver a major repudiation of the government in berlin under Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his traffic light coalition. Its a Litmus Test here in the countrys east, a year lets cross live to berlin, to speak to Markus Ziener a senior Visiting Fellow for the german Marshall Fund think tank.

One is the Migration Topic and many people in the east feel we have too many migrants and this happened under the rule of Angela Merkel and they afd is saying we have too many. The other topic is a certain sentiment of feeling like being left behind in being under privileged and not having the same wealth and the situation not being as Well Off as the western part. This is also something the two parties, the afd and another party formed a year ago which also is trying to take advantage of some kind of East German identity and saying we are the real representatives East Germans.

Its a new month and meets logically speaking a new season. We have gone into autumn. Whilst it may have looked a little light at first thing this morning in herefordshire missed that we have Summer Storms in the forecast. We have seen this claim of cloud moving north out of france across the English Channel bringing us some very warm and humid air and some thundery downpours. Those storms will continue to move north across Southern England into the midlands and parts of Northern England again downpours and frequent Lightning And Hail and gusty wind and may be the risk of localised flooding and heavy showers and thunderstorms in eastern areas. Further north northmore Drive Temperature is 15 to 21 degrees but very warm in the South East the temperatures here reaching 29 celsius. Through tonight and those storms will continue for the time and drift northward and you may see further downpours develop to some parts of wales and south West England and the midlands and the Odd Rumble of thunder can be rolled out in another warm and humid night across southern areas with temperatures around 17 or 18 degrees and even across Scotland A little one might compare to the last couple of nights. Into monday, low pressure across the uk and the fact you can see a couple of Weather Fronts bringing some very unsettled weather so there will be showers and longer spells of rain and storms again moving north and eastward so a lot of rainfall through the course of the day which could lead to localised flooding particularly through Northern England in central eastern scotland. Some sunny spells and to monitor South East with a few showers here and temperature still up in the Mid 20s across the south East But North and placed highs on monday 17 degrees to 19 degrees. Forthe monday 17 degrees to 19 degrees. For the rest of the week we have High Pressure in the atlantic and High Pressure into scandinavia. In between the stop at low pressure across europe which will give us unsettled weather particularly towards southern areas of the uk. Further north High Pressure tends to hold on a little bit though it will be largely fine across scotland through the week and for the south a bit more than with rain at times and temperatures 17 degrees to 22 degrees.

Developments. Mps will return to Parliament Tomorrow where the government is promising to deliver the most � packed legislative agenda for a change of administration in decades. But the union unite is already warning that the uk needs change, not cuts, following a speech from Sir Keir Starmer earlier this week, where he said things will only get worse before they get better. With me is our political correspondent, damian grammaticas. Does It Sound like the Honeymoon Period is overfor Sir Keir Starmer . Honeymoon period is over for Sir Keir Starmer . Sir Keir Starmer . Some are thinkin Sir Keir Starmer . Some are thinking that, Sir Keir Starmer . Some are thinking that, yes. Sir Keir Starmer . Some are thinking that, yes. You Sir Keir Starmer . Some are thinking that, yes. You had| thinking that, yes. You had basically from the government over the summer a pretty gloomy message. Keir starmer, Rachel Reeves the chancellor, all talking about the inheritance that they say they have received from the last government, from the conservatives, saying they look looked into the books and there is this huge deficit overspend, Unbudgeted Items and they need to take action. So warnings about what may come in the budget that is coming at the budget that is coming at The End of october, and the likelihood of tax rises. And of course also saying that difficult decisions have already been taken, like cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance for millions of pensioners making those limited to those on pension credit. What we have had today interestingly is the leader of the commons, Lucy Powell, who has been asked exactly about this, and about whether the government is being too gloomy, lets to listen to what she said. ~. , lets to listen to what she said. ~. , said. What we have inherited was much said. What we have inherited was much worse said. What we have inherited was much worse not said. What we have inherited was much worse notjust said. What we have inherited | was much worse notjust what said. What we have inherited was much worse notjust what we was much worse not just what we tbought was much worse not just what we thought it was much worse not just what we thought it was going to be, but what thought it was going to be, but what the thought it was going to be, but what the office for budget responsibility, the institute for fiscal studies, much worse in terms for fiscal studies, much worse in terms of for fiscal studies, much worse in terms of the in Year Situation for the countrys Finances Situation for the countrys finances. So we have had to take finances. So we have had to take some really difficult decisions that we would not have decisions that we would not have wanted to have taken around have wanted to have taken around things like targeting and the around things like targeting and the Winter Fuel payments. The reason we do that is because the reason we do that is because the deficit was much higher because the deficit was much higher than anyone thought, and the spending was higher than anyone the spending was higher than anyone thought, if we hadnt taken anyone thought, if we hadnt taken that action we would have seen taken that action we would have seen a taken that action we would have seen a run taken that action we would have seen a run on the pound, the economy seen a run on the pound, the Economy Crashing and the people who pay Economy Crashing and the people who pay the price for that of the poorest and pensioners and those the poorest and pensioners and those on the poorest and pensioners and those on fixed incomes. That was Mp Lucy those on fixed incomes. That was mp Lucy Powell those on fixed incomes. That was mp Lucy Powell a those on fixed incomes. That was mp Lucy Powell a little l those on fixed incomes. Trust was mp Lucy Powell a little bit earlier. But is there a positive that the government is trying to highlight . Trying to highlight . There are certainly labour trying to highlight . There are certainly labour mps trying to highlight . There are certainly labour mps who trying to highlight . There are l certainly labour mps who want to see that, they want more of a positive message because they worry there is too much gloom. Part of Thejob Worry there is too much gloom. Part of the job of Lucy Powell is timetabling the agenda of parliament and what she was to say is that there is this packed agenda of legislation that the government is going to bring in, the biggest one day same of any government in decades and theres going to be all sorts of measures on rail franchising, measures to do with tougher action on water bosses, the energy markets, so setting up gb energy. They want to say there will be measures to say there will be measures to lower Energy Bills in the long term, but also in the short term they want to have a campaign to encourage pensioners, if they are eligible, many people who are eligible, many people who are eligible are not yet getting pension credit, and that would be a way to then access help with Energy Bills. So theres that sort of thing that they are talking about. What Lucy Powell was saying there is it is all about fixing the foundations of the economy. What the government will find when they come back is that the opposition parties, the conservatives and others, are going to start questioning them about their choices, saying other Making Trade Offs here question that we have seen that already. Giving pay rises to Public Sector workers, Junior Doctors and the like, at the expense of pensioners. That will be one Trade Off Being pointed out. One thing the government may find is that the opposition party, particularly the conservatives. They are a bit wrapped up with their internal arguments, a bit wrapped up with their internalarguments, Leadership Campaign is being launched this week. There will be that process starting to whittle down their contenders and that is all going to consume quite a lot of their time.

Commemorative events are taking place in the russian town of beslan to mark the 20th Anniversary of the beslan school siege. More than 300 people were killed, including at least 180 children, when Chechen Separatists burst into The School on its first day of term. They took more than 1,000 People Hostage to demand independence for chechnya. Children, parents and teachers were held at the School Gymnasium for three days.

Here in the uk, more than half A Million children are expected to start school this week, who will have spent their first few months living under strict rules during the covid pandemic. Researchers from six universities around the uk are now studying the impact that lockdowns had on children when it comes to their Talking And Thinking skills, and what support they may need during their education. Our Education Reporter Vanessa Clarke reports. A, b, c, d. It is the last few days of preschool for makayla and his friends, he was only eight weeks old when london went into lockdown. His Mother Hasnt forgotten what his first year was like. It was very isolating and quite sad in the sense he could not experience all the lovely things that my other son could all the Bonding Experiences and all the developmental things, like Mummy And Baby swim and play centres and playgroups, even going to the park. We couldnt do that. We were completely at home. He has Speech And Language needs, along with a third of his classmate at Elizabeth Selby Infant school who will be starting reception this week. The school agrees the pandemic has had a huge effect. Lots of those families as they havent had Health Visitors and lots of access to gp to appointments, we are often the First Port Of Call was talking to them about the needs of their children. Is it harder to get referrals from nhs services in different places . We are finding the threshold has gone up for Local Nhs services, so for Speech And Language therapy, we are often using an in House Therapist because we find that referrals to the nhs are very hard to get through because the service is so oversubscribed. For the first time The School has employed a Speech And Language therapist for preschool classes. But changes like this cost money, meaning difficult decisions for the leadership team. Next year they will probably need one to one support. The school is dealing with attendance Special Needs and huge increase in leading Toilet Training all issues accelerated during covid 19. In the first Lockdown Baby classes were cancelled in many appointments not face to face, everything changed for the families of newborns living here. Researchers from six universities have come together to look at the impact of lockdowns on newborns in a in a project called Bicycle Born In Covid 19 year, lockdown effects. It will follow families over the next year testing children with interactive games and comparing them with those born the year before and after. Vital research for the future. The Lockdown Disruption was totally unprecedented and we do need to track what has happened to the children who were born in this period. See what they need and offer that support so that they can thrive as they grow and develop into adulthood. For now it is schools and staff at the forefront of dealing with the long shadow of the pandemic. Most teachers say they get inadequate training on that we could really fix that very quickly if we wanted to and Government Funding now for nursery Workers Training has only reached 3 of Nursery Workers in the last two years we need to get that up too close to 100 . While this group are raring to go, attention will now turn to the children that have not attended preschool before. For those children the transition can be really difficult because we have a settled group here we put lots of our focus into making sure the first time the children are integrated into the group and are ready to startjoining in with the learning activities as well. Hes thriving. Hes such a happy boy now. Hes doing so well now compared to where we began. Michael is able to talk to his motherfor the first time because of The Schools help but there is still a long way to go. I definitely think its not just my son, i know is a year, as a group there is a lot to catch up on and they definitely need the support. For the Reception Class of 2020 for a new adventure awaits. Lets speak to catherine davies, who is a professor of Language Development at leeds university. Thank you forjoining us. We were involved in the initial research, sojust were involved in the initial research, so just tell us about some of the differences you observed amongst your co Heart Aggro Cohort of families that you are following. This study is the most you are following. This study is the most recent you are following. This study is the most recent that you are following. This study is the most recent that we. You are following. This study i is the most recent that we have been working on. This Bicycle Study looks at several hundred families in three groups. So a group of children born before the lockdown, a group born in lock in early 2020, and a group born a year later. We dont have data from the second two groups yet. Those children are just starting school, so from the early data we are seeing that those children who were able to access outside play equipment, libraries, Toys Etc were doing better on their Communication And Thinking skills. During the pandemic it was not possible to engage in these enrichment activities, particular when families were dealing with other demands.

A lot of the research and a lot of our data confirms what everyone can see, but for those children who are starting school now, it is really important to meet them where they are, not to hold them to Pre Pandemic standards. The schools are already experienced with this of course. Those children who started reception last september would have been aged one or two in the first lockdown so schools are familiar with the kinds of things that these children will bring. You know, they are helping to develop language skills, and interactions and they are doing a fantasticjob. Theres a couple of additional things that would make a big difference to these pandemic babies as they start school. One is increased resource for Speech And Language therapy and additionalforms of Speech And Language therapy and additional forms of support for children who might have missed those early assessments and interventions during those early days. And also for schools and families to work together. When we talk about School Readiness its important that there is an integrated approach between the child, school and the family, and together they can support children in the best way and allow them to thrive as they start their education journey. Professor Catherine Davis from leeds university, thank you for going through the outcome of the research, and what might be done to try and deal with the impact. An investigation has started after the bodies of three children and a man were found at a house in surrey. The police were called to the property in Staines Upon Thames yesterday afternoon. They say they are working to establish exactly what happened but at this stage are not looking for anyone else. The police Complaints Watchdog has been informed because of previous contact between officers and those who died. One of the first patients in england to be matched to a personalised Cancer Vaccine has received the jab in devon. Bowel Cancer Patient Stephen brice is part of an experimental trial at Torbay Hospital one of only six in the country. The hope is that the vaccine will train the Immune System to recognise the Cancer And Delay or stop it from returning. Jen smith has more. We need to give it to you before ten oclock tonight. Stephen was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer in september last year after taking part in a screening programme. His treatment has been successful, but there remains a risk the cancer could return. This new vaccine could change that. The trials are such that because theyll be testing my blood against, um, my treatments, they will, um, i understand, be able to use that information as to know where how far were moving forward. I was told i wouldnt be able to give blood. So this is my way of helping the society and hopefully down the line this will be a case that, um, will be in the same scenario as smallpox, which will be a thing of the past. Tests have showed that stephen still had fragments of cancerous dna in his blood, which puts him at increased risk of his cancer coming back. So his dna was studied and sequenced ahead of today, resulting in his own personalised vaccine. This trial is that we are notjust putting in a Vaccine Against, in this case, Bowel Cancer. Were putting in the Vaccine Against a patient� s own Bowel Cancer. So the vaccine has been completely tailor made to the patient and its about as personalised as it gets. Everything we do is about getting the right treatment to the right patient, and you dont get more personalised than this. Unlike vaccines that protect us from disease, Cancer Vaccines are for patients who already have cancer. They help the bodys Immune System recognise and Attack Cancer cells. But research is at an early stage, so patients involved are currently included in Clinical Trials. A lot of the treatments coming through on our Clinical Trials offer lots of hope and potential. The world of Cancer Research is expanding rapidly, with loads of different avenues for treatment and potential options. So to have that in our armoury to offer it to our patients is brilliant for our consultants and hopefully gives options they otherwise wouldnt have. Stephen will be monitored over a year to see if the cancer reappears. Hes the first of a handful of patients to receive the treatment, with other southwest hospitals helping to identify potential candidates. Scientists say were not yet at the stage of a vaccine to prevent cancer, but trials like this one in torbay are hugely helping push us in the right direction. Jen smith, Bbc News.

The american Rapper And Broadcast Personality Fatman Scoop has died aged 53 after collapsing on stage in connecticut on friday. Famous for his booming voice and his energy on stage, Fatman Scoop, whose real name was isaac freeman, was an influential figure in new York Citys hip Hop Scene in the 1990s. The cause of his Death Isnt yet known. Earlier my colleague Helena Humphrey spoke to michael birch, aka pure cold, publicist for the late rapper Fatman Scoop who shared his experiences of working with the rapper. So, working with him, i was his dj, producer, his Tour Manager and honestly, i dont think i could have asked for any better mental in the entire work to the macro world. Like, it is still sinking injust everything still sinking in just everything that still sinking injust everything that has happened. It is such a big shock, not only to me and to the fans, but only to me and to the fans, but on a global scale. I have had calls all day from the far east, from australia, china, americas, it isjust east, from australia, china, americas, it is just so global. What is beautiful about it is every single person has a different story about scope which is just so different story about scope which isjust so heart warming. It is not always i have a good memory, it is always like we were backstage and He Saw a Glass Collector and he was treating them as the ceo of The Club. He saw everybody as an equal, everybody as a person and he made you feel that as a person. I was a nobody taking pictures in a nightclubjust down the road in chester and he came to perform one night and was like, could you do some of that for me . All of a sudden i was doing the video, then the music, then djing. Eight years later, you know, iam music, then djing. Eight years later, you know, i am sat here with the greatest blessing that was touring with Fatman Scoop. Every Phone Call and everything that people have been saying i have tried to be as positive as i can, and one thing i have found myself echoing across all calls was youve got to remember it is sad, yes, its a big loss. He was 53. Thats no age at all. But what he achieved in that lifetime is absolutely inspirational. He died doing what he loved. Like, he died on stage with a microphone in his hand and an audience in front of him that loved him as well. It is what any performer would dream of. As you were describing that impact that he has had, and saying how global he was, you know, that worldwide impact, one thing i was thinking about is so often he has been described as the voice of The Club anywhere around the world so that really is quite phenomenal. Talk to us a little bit more about that, and what you believe his legacy will be on Hip Hop and beyond. Honestly. It is wild. I was four years old when that song first came out in 1999 and i grew up with that. My commute to school, to school discos, two nightclub days, i see that across the World And Notjust here in the united kingdom. I see it everywhere. People coming up to him and saying i listen to you as a kid. It is great because it is so real with him, you know . You hear an artist on a song he might go the macro but when you meet him in real life hes different. Absolutely not the case with Fatman Scoop. With him, if you asked him how he was doing, you wont get how are you doing Backin Wont get how are you doing back in a soft voice, he will say it is so good to meet you it was so nice to have him around. That impact touched every genre from dance to Hip Hop, like he was so dynamic, it was beautiful. Often when people toured together it is described as something of a family and as you put it he died doing what he loved, but of course it may seem shocking, we have got 20 seconds left, but how is Everyone Doing . Seconds left, but how is Everyone Doing . Seconds left, but how is eve one doinu . , Everyone Doing . Ok. We are ok. We are hearing Everyone Doing . Ok. We are ok. We are hearing all Everyone Doing . Ok. We are ok. We are hearing all your we are hearing all your condolences and all your wishes, just please keep him in your prayers. It is the fans he loved. It is you guys that will keep his legacy going. Paying tribute there keep his legacy going. Paying tribute there to keep his legacy going. Paying tribute there to the keep his legacy going. Paying tribute there to the late tribute there to the late Fatman Scoop. Stay with us. Hello. Its a new month and that means meterologically speaking a new season. We have gone into autumn. Whilst it may have looked a little bit like autumn at first this morning in herefordshire we have Summer Storms in the forecast. We have seen this plume of cloud moving north out of france across the English Channel bringing us some very warm and humid air and some thundery downpours. Those storms will continue to move north across Southern England into the midlands and parts of Northern England again downpours and frequent Lightning And Hail and gusty winds. Maybe the risk of localised flooding and heavy showers and thunderstorms in eastern areas. 15 to 21 degrees but very warm in the South East, the temperatures here reaching 29 celsius. Through tonight, those storms will continue for a time and drift northward and you may see further downpours develop in some parts of wales and south West England and the midlands and the Odd Rumble of thunder could roll out. Another warm and humid night across southern areas with temperatures around 17 or 18 degrees and even across Scotland A little warmer compared to the last couple of nights. Into monday, low pressure across the uk and the fact you can see a couple of Weather Fronts bringing some very unsettled weather so there will be showers and longer spells of rain and storms again moving north and eastward. A lot of rainfall through the course of the day which could lead to localised flooding particularly through Northern England in central eastern scotland. Some sunny spells in the South Eeast with a few showers here and temperatures still up in the Mid 20s across the South East. For the rest of the week we have High Pressure in the atlantic and High Pressure into scandinavia. In between we are stuck with low pressure across europe which will give us unsettled weather particularly towards southern areas of the uk. Further north High Pressure tends to hold on a little bit so it will be largely fine across scotland through the week. Further south a bit more unsettled. Live from london, this is Bbc News.
