And coming up in the sport on the Bbc News channel, 0llie Pope and Chris Woakes both Score Half centuries for england, but its finely poised in the fourth test against india at the oval. Good evening. The uks vaccines advisory body has said it cant recommend vaccinating healthy 12 to 15 year olds against covid 19 On Health Grounds alone. It says children are at such low risk from the Virus Thatjabs would offer only marginal benefit. But Thejoint Committee on vaccination and immunisation said the government should consider wider issues, like disruption to schools. The Health Secretary Sajid Javid has now asked the chief medical officers in all four nations to look at whether those considerations tip the balance. Heres our medical editor, fergus walsh. From france to the United States and israel, many wealthier nations are already immunising all their 12 to is year olds. Not the uk. The scientists who advise government on immunisation Thejcvi Today said a further 200,000 young teens with heart, Lung And Liver conditions thought to be vulnerable to covid would now be asked to have the vaccine, but it would not recommend the jab for healthy 12 to is year olds. Whilst the benefits marginally outweigh the risks, the risk of Heart Inflammation is still uncertain, and we want to see what wider societal and educational benefits there are to children before recommending universal vaccination. The key concern for the jcvi is the potential long term harms from a rare Side Effect from the pfizer vaccine. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and Pericarditis Inflammation of the heart lining. Data from the United States shows that for every i million boys fully immunised with the pfizer vaccine, there were around 60 cases of Heart Inflammation. Among girls, it was much lower, with around eight cases per million. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath and palpitations. But these were generally mild symptoms and short lived. As for covid, healthy children are at minimal risk of severe illness, with just two in A Million admitted to Intensive Care after infection. Immunising under sixteens might help suppress covid but should the young be vaccinated to protect the old . It be vaccinated to protect the old . If we are going to vaccinate children it has to be in their interests and not in societys interests to vaccinate them and its a difficult decision. decision. Vaccinating 12 to 15yearolds decision.

People between the age of 12 15. Should be able to get a vaccination to prevent the spread of the virus. I would not recommend for the moment. Its too early. I think if we want to get the pandemic under control, then we have to vaccinate as many in the population as possible. Many other countries rolled out vaccines to all secondary school children in the summer. That opportunity has been missed here but it may only be a matter of days before a final decision is made on whether to immunise all 12 to 15 year olds in the uk. And fergus is with me. I wonder what parents should think about this . fin i wonder what parents should think about this . ,. , about this . On the one hand this shows the care about this .

But there is a danger it looks like dithering and passing the buck to the chief medical officers and we are now entering this period of limbo, it may only be a few days, while the chief medical officers look at the wider benefits. If they decide we should immunise all 12 to 15 year olds some parents could be forgiven for feeling even 15 year olds some parents could be forgiven forfeeling even more confused. There has been some political frustration that the jcvi didnt make a green decision during the summer stop the uk led the world on Covid Vaccination but we now have a lower proportion of our population fully immunised than canada, spain, denmark, and belgium, and there are 6 Million adults who are yet to have a single dose of covid vaccine. Thats double the total number of 12 to 15 year olds and its those adults who really need to getjabbed first. Adults who really need to get abbed first. ,. , ~ ,. , first.

Jeremy hunt said the pressures on the sector are only going to increase following the pandemic. The government is due to announce measures next week to address the challenges faced by the nhs in england as the number of people waiting for procedures is at a record high. 0ur Health Editor Hugh Pym reports. Im not half the man i was. Compared to what i could do, i am nowhere near the guy. Wayne, from derbyshire, has had a painful and sometimes traumatic wait for treatment for gallstones. He was put on the list for an operation early last year, but while waiting he became seriously ill and spent months in hospital. He had to learn to walk again and build up his strength. Welcome home and he was discharged from hospital in february. I should have been dealt with far sooner and this wouldnt have happened. Being bitter� s not going to solve this. Solving it would be putting it to an end so going forward, these queues, these Waiting Lists are reduced. So what are the solutions . Major North London hospitals, including this one, are working together to send patients to specialist centres. Here its orthopaedic surgery. Theyre doing more operations than before the pandemic and are bringing in some whove had long waits. We know that waiting with advanced arthritis is causing significant problems with mobility, i obviously persistent pain. And for many, their Mental Health has also suffered,. So to be able to get back to operate now is very rewarding for us and of course its good to see that our patients are getting i the treatment they require. William checks up on margaret after her hip replacement. It was postponed because of the pandemic. Its been quite tough. But im glad ive had it done now. The time has gone so quick. Im glad ive had it done now so i can be comfortable and not in no pain no more. This is a brand new Hospital Facility and theyre working with partners across the local community to try to reduce Waiting Lists. The question is, will the nhs in some other areas be able to do the same . Theres been Extra Nhs funding for this initiative. Thats been welcomed by hospital leaders, though they say cutting the backlog will be a huge task. Its going to be massive workload, need a great deal of investment. To do it, and thats at every level. Weve got to train more surgeons, train more anaesthetists, train more theatre staff. But above all we need to be efficient, so where weve i got these facilities, we really have to use them. We have to use them i every day of the week. Youd just come out of hospital a month before. One of the hospitals which treated wayne said there was progress tackling the backlog but it was understood that long waits were distressing for patients. Wayne has now been contacted about further checks, but theres still no date for his op. Hugh pym, Bbc News. As well as dealing with the nhs backlog, the government is also looking at how to reform and pay for the social Care System in england. Its hoping to set out plans soon. 0ur political correspondent Iain Watson is at westminster. This is a topic that successive governments have really struggled with.

Well, two years Ago i standing on the steps of Downing Street when Boris Johnson standing on the steps of Downing Street when borisjohnson became Prime Minister he pledged to fix the crisis in Social Care in england once and for all, but yes, he could be finding it is easier said than done because he may have to break an Election Promise to do so. If his is difficulty. Unlike with the Health Service in England Access to social Care Isntjust based on need but also based on ability to pay, so people with savings just above £23,000 a year are at risk of having to sell their own home in order to pay for a care home. The conservative manifesto said it would do away with all that but its mightily expensive, so another Election Promise, not to raise National Insurance rates, may have to be jumped National Insurance rates, may have to bejumped to find National Insurance rates, may have to be jumped to find the cash. National insurance rates, may have to bejumped to find the cash. No final decision has been taken but Thatis Final Decision has been taken but that is the leading option and some in borisjohnsons own party dont like the idea. 0ne Minister said to me its ludicrous, because if you are retired you dont pay National Insurance but you do stand to benefit from any reduction in Social Care costs, so pretty soon Boris Johnson, like successive governments, might find that any potential solution brings forward a new political problem. Iain watson, thank ou. The latest Uk Coronavirus figures show that there were just over 42,000 new infections recorded in the latest 24 Hour Period, which means an average of 34,312 per day in the last week. The figures also show there were more than 7,500 people in hospital being treated for coronavirus yesterday. 121 deaths were reported in the latest 24 Hour Period thats people who died within 28 days of a positive covid 19 test. That takes the average deaths per day to 114 over the last week. 0n vaccinations, more than 88 of people over the age of 16 have had theirfirstjab, and more than 79 percent of people over 16 have had both doses. The Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says the uk and pakistan have a shared interest in securing a stable and peaceful future in afghanistan. Mr raab visited the border between the two countries and announced help for areas expecting an influx of refugees, but said aid inside afghanistan would be given only to charities, not directly to the taliban. 0ur Afghanistan Correspondent Secunder kermani, with cameraman malik mudassir, reports from kabul. Side by side, taliban fighters and local residents. This is Friday Prayers in kabul. A cleric from the group tells the Congregation Theirjihad is changing from a Military Campaign to one ridding society of corruption. They are still yet to establish a new government, but an announcement is expected soon. Translation what we want the new government to do is tackle poverty and unemployment. Whenever they announce it, people will be able to properly get back to work and the economy will improve. The most important is peace. Prosperity second. And we must try to consolidate and make unity between the afghan nations. Already the face of this city is changing under the influence of its new rulers. For years, these blast walls, painted over with bright and inspiring murals, had been a colourful feature in kabul. Now you can see womens faces are being blacked out and the taliban have told decorators to paint over all of this, replacing it with these Black And White slogans. This one reads, the blood of the martyrs has washed away the occupation. A glimpse of what the new afghanistan is going to look like. Close by, this Beauticians Shop has also been ordered to paint over its signage. Despite taliban assurances women will be allowed to work, many Fear Theyll be erased from public life. This morning in kabul, a protest by female activists demanding equal rights. Earlier this week, taliban leaders said Women Wouldnt be given senior roles in the new government. Translation throughout decades| of war, women have suffered a lot mentally and physically. After a lot of effort, they managed to create a space for themselves and achieve some Equality And Justice while retaining their islamic identity. If we lose all this, it will have a very negative impact on afghanistan. Some arent waiting to find out what the new government will look like. These afghans are stuck at the border with pakistan. The uks Foreign Secretary, whos been visiting pakistan, told the bbc he wanted the taliban to live up to promises to allow those afghans eligible to leave the country to do so. Whats important for the uk and all of our partners whether its in the us but also in the region, including pakistan is to try and exercise the maximum moderating influence on the taliban. Whether its safe passage, whether its no Safe Haven for terrorism we need to send a clear message. Afghanistan is changing fast and will change even more in the coming days. But no one is yet clear what exactly the future will look like. Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul. The senior british commander on the ground in kabul has been speaking for the first time about the evacuation operation. The last of the 1,000 british troops returned home at the weekend, after helping to rescue more than 15,000 people. Brigadierjames martin says his troops did their duty in the midst of the most harrowing scenes. Hes been talking to our defence correspondent, jonathan beale. This is what british troops faced soon after they landed in the cauldron of kabul airport. The desperation of thousands of people trying to flee a country now under taliban control. Soldiers trained for combat trying to instil some order in the chaos. A massive humanitarian mission that has taken its toll. When you are dealing with a very large crowd that is fearful, in fear of its life, crushing, pressing against you, when women and children are being crushed and, yes, dying, in some cases, in your arms, your agency to deal with the situation and change it is very different than when you are on combat operations. There was emotions all the way through the operations. You cant see a young child, a baby, a woman crushed to death in front of you and then you having to deal with the aftermath of that, you cant see any of that without being emotional. There have been tears . Yeah, of course there have been tears. And they did all this while their own lives were under threat. It culminated in a Suicide Attack just over a week Ago. 13 of their us comrades were killed in the blast, along with more than 150 afghans who were hoping to get on a flight to freedom. It was carnage, it was carnage. When that level of Explosion And Combination of shrapnel is detonated, there is only one result, and that is carnage. But the way in which i witnessed our soldiers react to that incident was, you know, one of the finest things ive seen. They ran towards the explosion. They provided immediate medical Succour And Support to the afghan civilians that had been wounded. Brigadier martin himself has done several tours fighting the taliban, who are now back in control, so the question, was it worth it. What price 20 years of freedom for those people . What price no terrorist attacks emanating from afghanistan . So, you know, i put the ball back in your court. Is that worth it . In The End, they helped rescue more than 15,000 people. And while questions still remain about the speed of the governments response, who can question the courage, Commitment And Compassion shown by britains Armed Forces . Jonathan beale, Bbc News. Police in New Zealand have shot dead a man who stabbed and wounded six people, three of them critically, in a supermarket in auckland. The prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described the stabbings as terrorism. The man had been under 2a hour police surveillance, as a known supporter of Islamic State his attack lasted 60 seconds before officers opened fire. 0ur correspondent Shaima Khalil sent this report. Theres someone here with a knife. Hes got a knife. Panic and chaos at the Countdown Supermarket in auckland. Oh no. Confused shoppers and an attacker on a stabbing rampage. Then this. Shots fired. As people tried to flee, the police shot him within 60 seconds of the attack. He stabbed this woman when she came out, i was going in. I went down to the other end and there was an old gentleman, european man, lying on the ground. The man, who has not been named, reportedly took a large knife from a Display Cabinet in the supermarket and stabbed six people. Three are in critical condition. The Prime Minister, jacinda ardern, said he was inspired by the Terror Group so called Islamic State. The attacker had been under round the Clock Monitoring due to concerns about his ideology. He became a person of national Security Interest in 2016 and had been on a terror watch list. Questions have been raised about why no action against him was taken before six people were injured. The reality is that when you are surveilling someone on a 24 7 basis, it is not possible to be immediately next to them at all times. The staff intervened as quickly as they could and they prevented further injury in what was a terrifying situation. Authorities are confident this was a lone Wolf Attack and that there is no further danger, after a day of terror that left a community in shock. Shaima khalil, Bbc News. World footballs governing body, fifa, has opened disciplinary proceedings, after a number of england players were subjected to racist abuse during last Nights World Cup Qualifying Game against hungary in budapest. Raheem Sterling And Jude bellingham endured racist chants from the crowd. Heres our Sports Correspondent Natalie pirks. England knew the atmosphere would be hostile in the puskas arena. Commentator the President Of The Hungarian Federation pleaded supporters not to boo. There is quite a bit of booing. But as england took the lead, it got much worse. Players were pelted with plastic cups, flares were thrown, and players faced Monkey Noises and gestures from the stands. Substitutejude bellingham was one of those abused. Tonight, he has tweeted that racism will always be a part of the game until proper punishments are put in place by those with the power. His manager agrees. I dont think our players can do anything more than they have done over the last two or three years in trying to get the right messages out, take the right stands, and its for other people to protect them. Its for me to protect them in the main, but for the authorities to protect them, as well. But many feel strongly racist Fans Shouldnt have been there in the first place. This summer, Homophobia And Racism from the stands earned hungary a three match supporters ban. But last night the ban did not apply because it was a world cup qualifier, rather than a european one. And that is perplexing to those who fight against racism in football. Hungary have been sanctioned for three matches with one suspended by uefa following events at the euros. Really, just five or six weeks Ago. And then to see them playing a full House Match against a big, racially diverse team like england was disappointing. Hungary has quite the Rap Sheet when it comes to sanctions, and experts were resigned to more racism last night. Everyone expected the crowd to be vociferous anyway, but for it to spill over like it did was. Yeah, demoralising from a hungarian perspective, but also, like i say, almost entirely predictable. Reports containing Video Evidence of the racism is now with fifa, which has opened disciplinary proceedings. But hungarys Foreign Minister dismissed the atmosphere last night as simply hostile, and said it was similar to what italy faced at wembley in the european final. England has its own problem with racism, of course, but for hungary, its another night of shame and surely more sanctions. Natalie pirks, Bbc News.
