More top grades have been awarded for A Levels this year, after exams were cancelled for a second year because of the pandemic. Nearly 45 of entries in england, wales and Northern Ireland were awarded an a or a star thats an all time record, and much, much higher than when exams were last held in 2019. Students� work was assessed and graded by their teachers in place of exams. This year, no algorithm was used to moderate grades, after a backlash to last years Results Led to a U Turn from the government. In scotland, pupils achieving a grades hit a Record High this year as the Pass Rate for highers, Advanced Highers and national 55 dropped slightly from last year. Elaine dunkley reports. Oh, my god finally, relief in a year that has felt relentless. Grades that mark the end of uncertainty and the start of a new path. Injanuary, traditional exams were scrapped and replaced with teacher assessed grades. I got a distinction, star and a b. Moiz is happy with his results but there have been no easy options. As students we would rely on teachers for answers when we were stuck. This time the teachers didnt have the answer straightaway. It was a Learning Experience for everyone. No one was prepared for this but we had a great experience and our teachers were great in terms of being there for us in terms of our academics and mental health. With exams cancelled, ensuring fairness has been a challenge. Students have been assessed only on what they have been taught. The pandemic has also put pressure on teachers who have had to provide evidence for every single grade awarded. Its been a phenomenal amount of work. Every single grade has been looked at by at least two staff members and then a robust suite of internal and external Quality Assurance processes. Our students have had six bouts of assessment so they have had to sustain that Performance Level as opposed to, normally, it isjust a one off performance on the day. Top grades for a level results in england, wales and Northern Ireland have reached a Record High, with 45 getting a star or a grades this year. It is the second year in a row that traditional exams have been cancelled and results have significantly increased. Compared to 2019, a stars and as have risen by 75 . Weve already set out in the last academic year our moves to moving back to examination as a form of assessment. We also recognise that those students who will be looking at taking exams in 2022, will also have had their education disrupted. In scotland, students completing their exams had their grades told to them at the end of term. Today they had them confirmed. 230,000 btec students also received their level three results. I got a high demerit, which is pretty good. With high numbers of students applying to universities and getting grades, there is concern this could put pressure on places. We know from last year that universities and colleges were super flexible. So where they can expand capacity, that is what they will be looking at doing. Who are looking at clearing, they can have a choice from 2pm today. There are plenty of courses. Nearly 30,000 courses available. Ive got three a stars. Fantastic back in loughborough, these students are celebrating. Just massive, massive relief. We were really stressed the last nine minutes. You want to get it over and done with. Im really pleased ive done well. It all feels worth it now. They may not have sat traditional exams but showing resilience throughout the pandemic has been one of the toughest tests. Elaine dunkley, Bbc News. We will take you to New York where Governor Andrew Cuomo is addressing the people of New York after being accused of Sexual Harassment by a number of women. Lets have a listen. ,. ,. , listen. Really needs to function toda , listen. Really needs to function today, government listen. Really needs to function today, government needs listen. Really needs to function today, government needs to i listen. Really needs to function today, government needs to perform. It is a matter of life and death, government operations. And wasting energy on distractions is the last thing that State Government should be doing. And i cannot be the cause of that. New york tough means New York loving. And i love New York. And i love you. And everything i have ever done has been motivated by that love. And i would never want to be unhelpful in any way. And i think that given the circumstances, the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government to get back to government. And therefore thats what ill do because i work for you, and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you. Because as we say, its not about me. It is about to we. Kathy hogle, my Lieutenant Governor is smart and competent. This transition must be seamless. We have a lot going on, i am very worried about the delta variant. And so should you be. But she can come up to speed quickly and my resignation will be effective in 14 days. To my team, melissa derosa robert, and others rick cotton, Jacket Babies and the hundreds of dedicated administration officials, i want to say this. Thank you. Thank you. And be proud. We may New York state the Progressive Capital of the nation. No other State Government accomplish more to help people and thatis accomplish more to help people and that is what it is all about. Just think about what we did we passed Marriage Equality creating a new civil rights, legalised love for the Lgbtq Community and we generated a force for change that swept the nation. We passed the safe act years ago, the smartest Gun Safety Law in the united states and at banned the madness of assault weapons. We have saved countless lives with that law, 15 Minimum Wage, the highest Minimum Wage in the nation lifting millions of families standard of living and putting more food on the Table And Close on their backs and we let the nation and economic justice with that reform. Clothes on their backs. We have managed every Emergency Mother Nature could throw at us. Fires, floods, hurricanes, Super Storms and pandemics. We balance the State Budget and we got it on time more than any other administration because government should work and perform. Free College Tuition for struggling families, nobody in this state will be denied their College Dream because of their income. We have built new airports, rail, transit, roads all across this state faster and better than ever before and more than any state in the nation, the most effective green Economy Programme in the nation, we did more for black and latino families than any other administration. We did more for working families. We did more for our union brothers and sisters. We did more to better racism and anti semitism. Today so much of the politics is just noise. Just static. And that is why people tune it out. What matters is actually improving peoples lives and that is what you did for some you made this State A better state for the generations that follow. And that is undeniable, inarguable, and true even in these ugly, crazy times. I think the Speaker And Andrea stewart cousins for their leadership and let me say this on a personal note. In many ways, i see the world through the eyes of my daughters, kara, mariah and michaela. They are 26 and 26, twins, and 23. And i have lived this experience with and through them. I have sat on the couch with them, hearing the ugly accusations for weeks. I have seen the look in their eyes and the expression on their faces and it hurt. I want my three jewels to know this. My greatest goal is for them to have a better future than the generations of women before them. It is still in many ways a mans world, it always has been. We have sexism that is cultural wised and institutionalised. My daughters have more talent and natural gifts than i ever had. I want to make sure that society allows them to fly as high as their wings will carry them. There should be no assumptions, no stereotypes, no Limitations. I want them to know from the bottom of my heart that i never did and i never would intentionally disrespect a woman, ortreat would intentionally disrespect a woman, or treat any woman differently than i would want them treated. And that is the gods honest truth. Your dad made mistakes, and he apologised, and he learned from it. And that is what life is all about. And i know the political process is flawed and i understand their Cynicism And Distrust and disappointment now but dont give it up. Because government is still the best vehicle for making positive social change. Lastly, iwant best vehicle for making positive social change. Lastly, i want to remind all New Yorkers of an important lesson, and one that i will carry with me for the rest of my life. And thats what you New Yorkers did in battling covid. The enemy landed in New York state. Covid watched the attack here. It came on planes from europe and we had no idea. Launched at the attack. It was an ambush and it was up attack. It was an ambush and it was up to New Yorkers to fight back. We were on our own, and it was war. Nurses, doctors, Essential Workers became our Front Line heroes. Hospitals became the battlegrounds. Streets were still. And sirens filled the citys assignments. Traders carried the bodies of our fallen brothers and sisters. Trailers carried. But you refuse to give up and you fought back and you one. Going from the highest Infection Rate in the nation to one of the lowest. No one thought we could do it, but you did it. You lead the nation and you showed the way forward. And how you did it is what is most important. You did it together, not as black New Yorkers or white New Yorkers, not as lgbtq New Yorkers or straight New Yorkers or democrats or republicans or upstate or Downstate Orjewish or protestant or muslim or catholic New Yorkers but as one community, one family, the family of New York. You overcame the naysayers and the haters and the fear and the division and you unified and you rose and you overcame and you save lives. And that was powerful in its effect. It was beautiful to see. And it was an honour to lead. Please remember that lesson. Hold it in gear and hold it up lesson. Hold it in gear and hold it up high for this nation to see because it is New York State At her finest creating her legacy, fulfilling her destiny, giving life and animation to the lady in the harbour saying excelsior, we can be better, we can reach higher. And proclaiming e pluribus unum. 0ut better, we can reach higher. And proclaiming e pluribus unum. Out of many one nudity, community, love for stash out of one community. That is ever one Founding Premise in their enduring promise. One unity. And thatis enduring promise. One unity. And that is the of this provision that is the of this provision thatis that is the of this provision that is what this nation needs to hear. Thank you for the honour of serving you. It has been the honour of my lifetime. God bless you. 50. Of my lifetime. God bless you. So, the governor of my lifetime. God bless you. So, the governor of of my lifetime. God bless you. So, the governor of New York Andrew Cuomo has resigned. That was a long address. Two constituents. He said energy was being wasted on distractions, he was referring to the fact that he has been accused of Sexual Harassment by his former executive assistant. She whipped her right of Anonymity Yesterday to detail the Sexual Harassment she said that he had subjected her to and that came one week after a report by the states Attorney General found that mr Cuomos Behaviour had violated State And federal law. He did not resign last week or yesterday. He has resigned today although it sounded to me as though he was still effectively defending the way his behaviour over the years. He said i never did or intentionally would intentionally disrespect a woman. He addressed his daughters and said your dad made mistakes. Your dad apologised and he learned from it. He said, he hasnt seen the look in his three daughters eyes as they heard the ugly accusations and for the last few weeks. And then he thanked people for the honour of serving New York. So the democratic governor of New York Andrew Cuomo has resigned. He has effectively been hanging by a thread for a past week. Today he has taken the decision to announce his resignation although he said it will not be effective for another 1a days and then he listed a reasonable list of his achievements. We will get more reaction to that of course in the next hour or so. But Andrew Cuomo the democratic governor of New York has resigned as you heard in the last few minutes. Here we will get more reaction to todays exam results. With me is Marty Hardy who received her a level Results Today and will be taking up a place at oxford university, and Sir David Bell, Whos Vice Chancellor of the University Of Sunderland.

In a statement, Virginia Roberts giuffre claims she was trafficked to the prince by the deceased paedophilejeffrey epstein, when she was 17. The Duke Of York has consistently denied the allegations. 0ur royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. I can now speak to arick fudali, who is a partner at the legal Firm Bloom which has represented nine ofjeffrey epsteins victims. Good afternoon from us. What is your reaction to the fact this lawsuit has been filed considering that she first publicly accused Prince Andrew of this several years ago . I am first publicly accused Prince Andrew of this several years ago . Of this several years ago . I am not surrised of this several years ago . I am not surprised at of this several years ago . I am not surprised at all. Of this several years ago . I am not surprised at all. There of this several years ago . I am not surprised at all. There was of this several years ago . I am not surprised at all. There was a i of this several years ago . I am not surprised at all. There was a public allegation against Prince Andrew in 2014 but what is really not surprising is that the statute of Limitations under the child victims act in New York expires on August 14 meaning if she had waited beyond August 14 of this year, her case would have been dismissed based on the statute of Limitations. So would have been dismissed based on the statute of Limitations. The statute of Limitations. So does filinu the statute of Limitations. So does film a the statute of Limitations. So does filing a lawsuit the statute of Limitations. So does filing a lawsuit mean the statute of Limitations. So does filing a lawsuit mean that the statute of Limitations.

There andrew Will Go On Trial . Not necessarily. There is andrew Will Go On Trial . Iirrt necessarily. There is a want of steps from filing a lawsuit until you get to triumph is of the first and major hurdle is they will have to serve Prince Andrew with process. In the united states in New York you have to personally serve someone with a lawsuit for it to get going. That will be difficult considering that he is in the united kingdom. There is a mechanism and there is a process through the southern district of New York and the federal courts in the united states to serve defendants in foreign countries but it is quite the process and beyond that, most cases are ultimately resolved before you get to a Jury Trial. Cases could be dismissed on certain grounds and a lot of cases settle or resolve prior to trial. While it is possible at this case goes to a Jury Trial in a few years, there is a lot of stuff before that. But on the personal surfing of the papers. Do they physically have to be handed to Prince Andrew or it it be handed to Prince Andrew or it it be a representative . It be handed to Prince Andrew or it it be a representative .

A photo of the princess with a member of the campaign has been posted on instagram. The story of Princess Latifah has attracted the Worlds Attention since she made a bid to escape to buy back in 2018 only to be intercepted by commandos only to be intercepted by commandos on a boat in the Indian Ocean and forcibly returned home. Lets talk now to david haye, a glare from detained international and the Co Founder of The Freak Latifah campaign. Hello to you. Tell us why you have made this decision . I think for us the campaign you have made this decision . I think for us the campaign was you have made this decision . I think for us the campaign was set you have made this decision . I think for us the campaign was set up i you have made this decision . I think for us the campaign was set up to i for us the campaign was set up to secure The Freedom For Latifah and to give her the best chance of living the way she chose to live and we think whilst we are not guaranteed to have achieved all of those things, we are as close we can get we believe. Marcus is her cousin and met her recently in iceland and she felt that she was in a good position and certainly what can be said is that she is in the best position she has been for a very long time in terms of Freedom And Ability to travel, something she could not do previously. What ability to travel, something she could not do previously. What did she say to could not do previously. What did she say to him could not do previously. What did she say to him about could not do previously. What did she say to him about the she say to him about the circumstances of her alleged captivity over the last few years . That is something for marcus to comment on but marcus and others would say he is comfortable and therefore we felt it is best at this time to disband the group but doing so with extreme caution given the very considerable history of all sorts of intimidation, kidnapping and various other illegal acts not just on latifa.

Some brilliant batting performances have helped them to the top of the table. He� s joined up with the England Squad this afternoon. It was a decision we took yesterday. We had a long chat about it and it gives us another option in terms of balancing the team out. He is obviously full of confidence and playing some unbelievable cricket in the hundred and in the short format and we know how talented he is and what he is capable of and he� s a serious contenderfor this game. Staying with cricket there are more matches in the hundred today.

British firefighters are among more than 1,000 from across europe helping to battle wildfires on greece� s second largest island, evia. Thousands of people have been evacuated since the blaze started a week ago. Meanwhile, in california, Rescue Workers are preparing for even higher temperatures, as they tackle the second largest fire in the state� s history. Lebo diseko reports. The apocalyptic scenes of what the greek Prime Minister has called a nightmarish summer. Nearly 600 fires have broken out across the country since latejuly, fuelled by strong winds and the worst heatwave in decades. The biggest is in evia, an Island North East of athens, which has been ablaze for a week. Help has been flown in by other countries, including british firefighters. I havent seen fires like this before in the uk, its something thats completely new to me. Ive seen Grass Fires and open area fires, but this is just something on another scale. They are helping with manual tools, trying to put in Fire Breaks and stopping the fire from spreading. There has been public anger at the government response, something the greek Prime Minister has apologised for. But he says Climate Change is causing fires that last for weeks, speaking just hours after the un warned that Human Activity is making extreme weather events more common. Something locals say they are experiencing first hand. We didn� t see any rain to stop this fire. I used to run in this forest, i used to cycle, we used to go and collect fruit. Now everything� s gone. On the other side of the world, in the us, california, too, is battling catastrophic blazes. The Dixie Fire started almost a month ago and is now the second largest wildfire in state history, with claims so ferocious they destroyed nearly all of the historic town of greenville. Several times in the last week, i wished i could just go home and then i remember, i cant go home, there is nothing to go back to. Then, if, even if the house survived, like, pretty much the rest of the town is gone. Surveying the damage, the State Governor said the cause was clear. The extreme weather conditions, extreme droughts, leading to extreme conditions and wildfire challenges the likes of which we� ve never seen in our history and, as a consequence, we need to acknowledge, just straight up, these are climate induced wildfires. With more high temperatures expected in the coming days, the fear is that even more towns could be at risk. Lebo diseko, Bbc News. Scientists have begun trials of an artificial Intelligence System that may be able to diagnose dementia in a day. Researchers at the alan Turing Institute have told Bbc News that their system could help spot the onset of dementia much earlier, which could improve outcomes for patients. Our science correspondent, pallab ghosh, has this exclusive report. Penelope clark noticed that her husband denis began to forget things last year. They are concerned he is developing some form of dementia. The couple are taking part in trials of a new system, where they will be able to tell them not only if denis has any form of dementia but how quickly it is likely to develop. If you had a diagnosis that gave you some indication of the progression, would it be of help . Then we could plan financially, as a couple, to be able to perhaps have a few holidays before things got so bad that i couldn� t take denis on holiday. It makes me more comfortable because if you get a diagnosis, youre not waiting months and months for someone to come back and say, we know what it is now. Denis� Brain Scan will be analysed by an Artificial Intelligence computer programme. It compares his scan to those of thousands of dementia patients. In preclinical tests, it has been able to diagnose dementia years before symptoms develop. To have a diagnosis of dementia, it� s a big thing to take on board so when i� m delivering this diagnosis, anything which i can do to be more confident about that, to give people more information, to help them plan their lives, it� s a great thing to be able to do. And the new technique can give results much faster. Currently, it can take several scans and many other tests to find out whether someone has dementia. The new artificial Intelligence System can potentially pick it up with just one scan and it can pick it up much earlier in the researcher who led the development of the system treatments much more effective. The treatments can find it early and slow down the progression and, at the same time, avoid more damage happening to the brain. Or they may actually never occur. Right in your belly. It� s absolutely amazing. Isabel garvey and her team cleared the Studios Diary for the week of tours. A challenge because it� s usually booked years ahead
