Good afternoon. Mps Returned To Westminster today, following the Summer Break, with the funding of Social Care and the nhs at the top of the agenda. The chancellor, rishi sunak, is meeting conservative backbenchers this evening who are worried that the government is about to increase National Insurance Contributions to pay for Social Care in england, which would break a Manifesto Pledge not to raise taxes. Labour is also opposing a rise in national insurance. Its also expected that an extra five and half billion pounds will be announced for the nhs. Heres our political correspondent chris mason. For years governments of various persuations have not got around to sorting a new system for Social Care in england. It is complex, controversial and vastly expensive. Should there be a cap on the Bill Anyone should face . Which tax should be put up to pay for it . It appears the government does want a cap and a hike in national insurance. It is change that is long overdue. There is no right answer that everybody will find consensus around, every possible solution that the chancellor has will have pros and cons. I dont know the detail of what he will propose, but this is we need to be honest with the public and be ready for the debate and to put in place reforms. Here is one reason it is hard for the government. Look at this i pulled out of the archive from before the election. Here is the kicker. We can do all these things without racing Income Tax, vat or National Insurance Contributions. That is our guarantee. Here is the kicker now that guarantee looks like it will be shredded, because. The simplest way to raise large amounts of money is increasing rates of the three main taxes, national insurance is one, Income Tax is the obvious alternative and there is vat as the third. Labour and plenty of conservatives say putting up national insurance in particular will tax tHe Less well off, to subsidise the better off. The government has got to rethink this. They say they want to level up across the country, but in fact they would be hitting many families in constituencies like mine in the midlands and in the north hard but not getting improvements in care and they would be seeing greater taxes on businesses too, just when they are struggling. It seems to me that looking i at Income Tax, which of course is a far less regressive tax and a tax that everyone i who has income pays. Those who are repaired, even if they have a l retired wont pay national insurance mps are returning to parliament and a row is brewing already. So what could these new measures look like in practice . Our social Affairs Correspondent Alison Holt told us more about what might be announced. We hope to see the details soon, but expect a cap will be introduced to limit the amount any one person pays towards their care. We know there have been arguments over what level that should be at, whether it is 50,000 or 80,000, it would mean somebody would pay for their care up to the top of that cap and then turn to the the tHe Local authority for help. At the moment if you have savings or assets of £23,000 or more then you pay for all your care. We expect you to be allowed to keep more. At the moment, whether you live in a Council House that you have bough or a mansion in surrey youre likely to have to sell your home if you need residential care. Not other sorts of care. If you simplify things down to selling houses and the Funding Mechanism to some degree it misses the point, the Care System which is about people is in crisis, it has understaffing, years of underfunding and needs to be fixed. So things we need to see, will there be investment now in the system . Will the Staffing Problems be fixed and what is the vision for the future of the service that looks notjust after people over 65, but many younger adults and it should be about quality of life and keeping people out of hospital. The Prime Minister has told the House Of Commons that the uks Resettlement Programmes for Afghan Refugees are upholding britains finest tradition of helping those most in need. Giving a statement to Mp5 Boris Johnson said operation pitting, which is the military effort to evacuate afghanistan will give way to operation warm welcome, in an equal effort to help afghans start their new lives in the united kingdom.

But theres been a long Debate And Mp5 across the house of question whether afghanistan is safer after the west withdrawal. And while it may again become a Safe Haven for terrorist. Hes been pressed to give more details of those who are left behind after that evacuation program. Widespread praise for the britons involved in the evacuation program. But of course people have been left. It did get some new information for example 192 people wanted to come out under whats called The Arab Scheme, a scheme for resettling people actually interpreters or work for the Armed Forces, they want to come out of the country and they are still left behind. An even greater number are eligible, not not more than 300 is still eligible to come to the uk should they wish to do so under that scheme was up there is another scheme for people who are vulnerable. The Prime Minister said its up to 20,000 afghan citizens, Afghan Refugees were given Indefinite Leave To Remain in the country. He also wanted to give some hope to the people who had served there over the past 20 years. An extra £5 Million for veterans charities. Although that was criticised as not adequate enough for ministers and former service mittens. The Prime Minister also wanted to remind the house of why we went into afghanistan in the first place given that we had to respond to a Terrorist Threat after 9 11 two ago.

The usual Rule Shouldnt Supply it was a very intense campaign. He really want to look back to when warnings were there, perhaps he suggested from Intelligence Services and Foreign Office documents that suggested that the taliban and were advancing much more rapidly than people had anticipated. So his main argument was that while people on the ground have what did not work tirelessly political leadership was lacking. Be because of this lack of leadership the government has left many behind to whom we owe so much. Mps in tHe Last few weeks have had thousands of desperate calls from people trying to get to safety. Many remain in danger. Including the afghan guards who protected the british embassy. In my constituency, and im not alone, members across the house have this, afghans who have applied for The Arab Scheme weeks ago sometimes months ago who were clearly eligible but werent processed quickly enough by this government didnt make it to the planes. And the Stress Levels of them and their families and all of our teams and caseworkers has been palpable in tHe Last few weeks and months. A familiar and desperate story to many across this house on both sides. The government doesnt even know how many Uk Nationals and how do how many afghan nationals eligible to the afghan Steam Have scheme been left behind to the cruelty of the taliban, a national disgrace. Even if they could identify who they left behind, the government doesnt have a plan to get everybody out. Kabul airport remains closed to international flights, Safe Passage has not been created to afghans neighbours and whatever the Prime Minister says today, there is no international agreement on the resettlement of Afghan Refugees. We have a Prime Minister and capable of in capleinternational leadership just when we needed it most. He went on to say that the Prime Minister was missing in action.

Another mp as the Prime Minister whether he took any responsibility for the way that things had turned out to which the answer was no. The taliban say its seized panjshir province, the only part of afghanistan not under their control. A spokesman says no civilians have been killed in days of heavy fighting against opposition forces. Leaders of The Movement opposing taliban rule deny theyve been defeated, and say they still have a presence in panjshir. Our South Asia correspondent, Yogita Limaye has more details. We are raising the white flag in the provincial headquarters of panjshir, taliban fighters said in a video released by the group. They claim to have conquered the final stronghold of opposition, and with it, all of afghanistan. At a Press Conference in kabul, the group declared victory. We tried our best to resolve the issue in panjshir through negotiations but it didnt work, a spokesman said. We couldnt accept a Power Island in afghanistan, we had to use force. The Panjshir Valley lies to kabul� s north east. It has a narrow entrance and its terrain offers natural protection. Attacked several times during afghanistans long history of violence, its defenders have always held fort. And even now, those resisting Taliban Control say it hasnt been fully captured so far. We are present throughout panjshir at the moment. Panjshir is in a small province or valley. Panjshir has many semi valleys. From the southern part up to the northern part of the valley, right now the taliban are only in a few locations. They are facing difficulties. Ourforces are resisting, ourforces are defending their people, their honour, their home and their values. One of tHe Leaders of the resistance has released a voice message, blaming the international community for legitimising the taliban. Amrullah saleh, afghanistans former Vice President was the other man leading The Movement. A few days ago hed send the bbc this clip, saying he was in panjshir. His whereabouts are now unknown. Yogita limaye, Bbc News. Millions of pupils are returning to classrooms in england and wales, amid fears of a spike in students with covid. Scientists have warned of a rapid rise in School Cases without precautions being taken and experts have not recommended jabs for healthy 12 to 15 year olds. In england, there are over 30 times more children with covid compared with last year. In scotland cases among the Under 15s have trebled since school restarted in mid august. We cant say that the rise has been solely caused by schools returning. This graph shows cases in 2020 in green and this year in red. Although cases were much lower at this point in 2020, they followed a similar pattern, rising before schools went back and then increasing more steeply later in september. Martine croxall has spent the day as a Secondary School in stockton on tees. When the pandemic struck and locked down began schools across the country had to respond very quickly to going to online learning because they couldnt have children in the classroom anymore. So a lot of the responsibilities to make sure they actually did their work on mine fell to parents. Two parents who have year students here at North Shore Academy are sarah and christine.

Her Mum Marie Made The Announcement On Social Media yesterday, calling her a bright, shining star. Sarah found lumps under her arms in 2019 and in an extract from her memoir published in the times, she admitted putting off getting medical help, which was further complicated by the outbreak of the pandemic. Sarah hardings doctor, Dr Sacha Howell stressed the importance of Breast Cancer awareness, especially among young people. Well, clearly we knew this was coming but it was still in incredibly sad day. My heart and thoughts go out to the family and friends really who knew her for so much longer than we did here. She wanted her legacy from the start mostly to be a Raise Awareness. And if possible reduced incidents, if we can reduce the amount of this cancer, fewer women have to suffer what she did. For women who are really younger so younger than age 50, there is no Screening Programme unless they have a strong family history. So in that situation its really being aware of your breasts. Particularly for younger women who are still having periods. Just examining the breast once a month after the period is finished, being aware of what the Press Look like and if there any changes and then noting any lumps, any change in the skin and particularly also if theres any in drawing of the Nipple Or Discharge from one nipple in particular. Those would be signs that should be a red Flag Symptom and should encourage women to attend the gp. We need to be aware as well that we just had a pandemic that calls two cause all sorts of issues within the nhs. And i still think that there is an undercurrent of concern for people to come forward, to come into hospital. But they really neednt be. The services are now up and running and so if women do have any of those Symptoms that imagine, they really do need to seek help from a gp who will reach out to the hospital for assessment. Im joined now by seren hughes, head of engagement at Cancer Awareness for teens and twenties. Hello and thanks forjoining us. So many people associate cancer with older people. And yet as weve heard and seen it does affect young people. Very tragically. So you work for this charity, how many younger people does Cancer Affect . It for this charity, how many younger people does Cancer Affect . It teens and 20s we people does Cancer Affect . It teens and 20s we focus people does Cancer Affect . It teens and 20s we focus on people does Cancer Affect . It teens and 20s We Focus On Young and 20s We Focus On Young people between the ages of 15 and 29. Increasing their awareness of Cancer And Health education. We do a lot of workshop. According to Cancer Research uk it is about 1k, workshop. According to Cancer Research uk it is about 10, young people in the Age Bracket that we educate on who are diagnosed with cancer every day on average in the uk. It is rare but unfortunately it does happen. And i think for all of us its vital that we get young people to know themselves and their bodies from a young age.

I myself had cancer at the age of 19. I think for a lot of the young people that we support it is always a shock, its always a shock. I think young people are not often involved in the conversation when it comes to cancer. Of course its vital to put that out there to the public to say that out there to the public to say that cancer does happen in young people and its important that we talk about it. People and its important that we talk about it. You mentioned there that Ou Talk about it. You mentioned there that you had talk about it. You mentioned there that you had Cancer Talk about it.

And tHe Legacy that we have is ensuring that these young people have had cancer can tell their stories as well as Raise Awareness of the Symptoms. Must be such a shock when that happens. You heard there are a hope Sarah Hardings doctor talking about the importance of young people, knowing their bodies. He was talking specifically about women that presumably would be applied more generally as well for young people to know their bodies are not to ignore Symptoms.

All genders because of hpv which a lot of young people havent had the vaccine or have option to the vaccine when they are in school. Hpv is a virus that can cause cancer. We also educate a lot of the common Symptoms of that slums, as we heard before. Extreme fatigue and abnormal, sudden Weight Loss or weight gain. These Symptoms are often persistent or unexplained. You dont know why that happened and they can always be there or come back. Often it isnt cancer in young people but its really important for us to spot it when it is and we encourage young people to go to the Doctor Or Health care professional if they are about anything at all. I if they are about anything at all. I give so much for that. Now its time for a look at the weather. Thank you. It was a really warm day today. Temperatures in a number of errors at the High 20s.

This is what it is more or less right now, we are still in the Mid 20s across a large chunk of the uk. High teens in the north of the country, Sunny Skies out there. A little bit of clout here and there but generally speaking, it is quite bright. Through the night apart from a bit of dampness in Western Parts of scotland its a bit of dampness in Western Parts of scotland its quiet and clear. By early morning we will see some Mist And Fog forming around central parts of the country. For some of us it might start off murky but the vast majority of the uk will be waking up to sunshine. It is clear Blue Skies with hot, sunny Weather Tomorrow developing. And how hot is going to get . Most of us is the middle or High 20s across england and wales. Perhaps sitting 30 degrees in the midlands. Across scotland and Northern Ireland not quite so warm here but warm enough, possibly up to around the Mid 20s for belfast in tHe Lowlands of scotland. It looks as though wednesday is good to be every bit as warm but storms are approaching the southwest on wednesday. The headlines.

I guess was our only way to conceive. So we had to Self Fund Ivf because, as i mentioned, he was already a father so we were therefore Decline Funding and we went for ivf.

It perhaps wont affect me and my husband in the sense that i am now 31 and he is so we would perhaps have already made a decision or had the choice of what we want to do with those four embryos by the time that ten Year Mark is up. However, i am aware, obviously, time that ten Year Mark is up. However, lam aware, obviously, i have met people through the trying to conceive community, i have connected with a wide variety of people in myjourney and there are many people in many different situations. You know, some have to look at freezing eggs and spurn due to medical reasons and this can often be a requirement that quite a young age so somebody that is experiencing medical difficulties might have to look at freezing eggs around the age of 20 two if you think that that time restriction is about to have an eye when they are hitting 30 they might not be in a position or a place to.
