Recognise the all male government announced by the taliban. The Home Secretary will hold discussions with her french counterpart about the surge in the number of people crossing the English Channel to the uk. Over 1,000 migrants have made the journey so far this week. Britney spears� father has filed Court Documents seeking to end an arrangement that gave him control over her finances. Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or Around The World. Mps will vote later today on the uk Prime Ministers plans for a national Insurance Rise, to pay for the nhs and Social Care. Yesterday borisjohnson announced what he called the biggest Catch Up Programme in the history of the nhs. £36 billion, raised over three years, to deal with the backlog caused by the pandemic. More than £5 Billion of that will go towards changes to Social Care in england. Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland will also receive an additional £2. 2 Billion to spend on their services. The money will also be used to overhaul how much families pay towards Social Care. It will be Paid by a uk wide increase in National Insurance contributions of 1. 25 percentage points. For most workers that will go from 12 to 13. 25 of earnings which will become a new health and social Care Levy on your Payslip And Tax returns. This makes it the largest Tax Rise in more than a0 years. The government says its fair others argue its the young footing a disproportionate amount of the bill. Helen catt reports. The Covid Pandemic has left the nhs with some big Waiting Lists to clear. Funding Social Care has been a problem for years. The governments answer to both is to raise National Insurance against its promises. We cannot now shirk the challenge of putting the nhs back on its feet, which requires fixing the problem of Social Care and investing the money needed. So we will do what is right, reasonable and fair. The rate of National Insurance will go up for everyone from april next year by 1. 25 percentage points. From 2023 it will show up on payslips as a separate charge the health and social Care Levy. The government says it will raise £12 Billion a year. This package of reforms, we believe, is unjust, its half baked, and it breaks very solemn conservative election pledges. So i think the first thing to do is point that out. 0nly15 of what is going to be raised in the next three years will go towards Social Care. And, actually, thats not nearly enough. Thats because, to start with, most of the money will go towards clearing the backlog in the nhs, before Social Care gets a bigger share. Im on message. From October 2023, nobody in england will have to pay more than £86,000 over their lifetime for care. But there are worries in the sector. The problem here is that people who arent paying for their own care because they havent got any money, or because its Run Out they are dependent on the state to pick up the tab, and the amounts of Money Councils have to fulfil that Responsibility Hasnt kept pace with the growing demand both from older people, but from disabled people of working age, as well. So those holes in their budget have continued to grow over the last ten years or so, and nothing that was announced really starts to fill those back up again. Working people across the uk will pay the charge. The Care Plan is for england, but Northern Ireland, wales and scotland will get more money to decide how to spend. Borisjohnson hasnt ruled out putting up more taxes in future. Its expected mps will vote for this rise later, but there are still lots of questions about how it will all work.

There will be Prime Ministers questions, the first since the Summer Recess and the lengthy debate on this new health and social Care Levy, is salama saying her report, there isnt much of a chance of a Backbench Rebellion over this. There have been Cabinet Ministers raising concerns over the manifesto breaching Tax Rise in the Run Up to the announcement. A very few mps actually put their heads above the parapet and openly criticised the government. Nevertheless, there is a Pr Drive going on from the government tojustify Pr Drive going on from the government to justify the need to put up taxes to provide extra money for the nhs and the long Term Plan for the nhs and the long Term Plan for Social Care. For the nhs and the long Term Plan forSocial Care. It for the nhs and the long Term Plan for Social Care. It was the social secretary, Sajid Javid he was sent out to bat for the government this morning. I was told that if things carry on as they were Business As Usual that we would be looking at a Waiting List of about 13 Million in three years time. Now, my choice is, at that point, i can say, well, you know, we made a promise in the manifesto and we dont want to break it, lets Doggedly Stick to it and let that Waiting List go to 13 Million. Or we canjust confront the problem, be honest with the british people, take the difficult decision and say, yes, we have broken a Manifesto Promise, but we also didnt know there was going to be a global pandemic and were going to tackle that Waiting List because we have also promised to you that the nhs will always be there for you, world class service, free at the point of use, there for everyone. And i think weve taken the right set of decisions. I think it is the framing of the arguments about protecting the nhs which has bought off some of the would be rebels because they cannot turn around and say, voting against protecting the Health Service, certainly in the short time, a lot of the money raised through these Tax Rises will go to the Health Service in the first instance, before being transferred over to the social Care System. There are concerns whether there will be in a funding, certainly in the short term for the social Care System and after the first three years, whether the Health Service can do without the extra money that will be raised in the short time. Lots of questions to be answered in the industry itself concerned about the administrative burden as well, dealing with this new cap on means testing, have a listen to this. It is going to be an extra added burden onto the administration of Care Homes and the Care Sector, including you know, all elements of the Care Sector. We will be having to look at every person when they go into Social Care, has an assessment, an assessment of their needs. So this is where the Care Element will be based on. So it wont be a constant figure for everyone. It will be based on what your care needs are from this assessment, which will be done at the point of requiring care. Of course, people dont stay the same, they have progressive illnesses, they might even get better. So the elements of their care could actually change over time. So it will be a constant Review Process which will require, yes, a lot of administration, a lot of assessment. Then, of course, we will have the varying costs of the workforce which will go into the Care Element on the type of Skill Mix that is required to give that appropriate care to that person. Some criticism over the fact that mps have been given less than 2a hours to digest the announcement before being asked to vote on it later on this evening. This is only the start of what will be a long, drawn out process before the ultimate long Term Plan for Social Care eventually comes into fruition. Lots of negotiation needs to happen with the Care Sector, but also with local authorities. Will they feel they have got enough cash to make this work . ~ they have got enough cash to make this work . , ~ ,. , Charles Tallack is the assistant directorfor the health foundations real centre, an independent charity that supports better Health Care for people in the uk. What do you think of the plan . Hello, victoria. The announcement of a cap after it was recommended in 2011 is welcome. It will protect most people against Catastrophic Costs and it goes to reducing the care lottery. People have more certainty about costs they face and it will help everyone. Just like insurance helps everyone by giving us peace of mind, this will take away some of the fear about what costs might be in the future. 0bviously costs might be in the future. Obviously the cap is at 86,000, that is high and you could argue about that. However, what is important is we have the principle, for the first time that people wont be left on their own, everyone will be part of a system that is protected against Catastrophic Costs. But a system that is protected against Catastrophic Costs. Catastrophic costs. But it wont rotect Catastrophic Costs. But it wont protect peeple Catastrophic Costs.

I would say to that, victoria, i we need to look at the money that is actually being raised. The levy will raise £30 billion over three years in england. Actually, what has been announced the Social Care is only 5 Billion. The first part of that is less than 25 of it and the other important point, over this first three years, very little will be spent on the cap. With 86,000, very few people will reach the cap in the first three years. So the amount being used for that particular purposeis being used for that particular purpose is very small, even after people start reaching the cap. The Government Hasnt published figures on this, but i think that the cost of the cap will be no more than about £3 billion a year. That is in contrast to the £10 billion that is raised in england from the levy. Yes, certainly not all of that money is going on the cap. If it does transfer from is going on the cap. If it does transferfrom the nhs into is going on the cap. If it does transfer from the nhs into the social Care System, it will then be used to help improve the current system.

Uk 20 men accused of being involved in the November 2015 paris attacks, including the only surviving suspected attacker, go on trial today. 130 people died and hundreds were injured when gunmen struck bars and restaurants, as well as frances national Football Stadium and the bataclan concert hall. 0ur Paris Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. It was a night with no safe haven, where No One knew where to run. When gunmen brought chaos to Paris Bars and restaurants. Its Football Stadium. Explosion. The bataclan concert hall. Explosion. Stephane lost his son hugo that night at the bataclan. No trial, he says, can heal the pain. Itjust seems so complicated because first of all its a personal loss, the loss of a child, my son. Its also a collective loss. And then it was sometimes difficult to manage these two situations. 20 defendants are accused of murder, complicity and terrorist conspiracy. Salah abdeslam, the only suspected attacker to survive that night is facing the most serious charges. 19 others are accused of involvement, including mohamed abrini, who prosecutors say accompanied the attackers to paris from their home in belgium. Six of the accused are being tried in absentia. And for a unique event, a unique location. This temporary court room, built exclusively for the trial sits within the historic Court Ofjustice in paris. The light colours have been chosen to promote a sense of calm. There is a secure box for the defendants and ten cameras to record the trial for frances national history. The trauma of that night has continued to ripple through france. Six years on, what will it mean to see Salah Abdeslam standing in the dock . You know you just imagine the devil. You just imagine somebody with a strong, intellectual, maybe im wrong, but people with. That this kind of man who had done such awful things. Stephane says he doesnT Need to see the key defendant, but he wants Salah Abdeslam to see him. After six years, its very important for me to face him and face the other and to say, look at me. Im there, i am alive, my son is not there, but through me, he is still here. We are still standing. You didnt win. For stephane, this trial marks the moment when national trauma becomes national history. Easierfor a nation to move on, he says, than for him. Lucy williamson, Bbc News, paris.

This trial is more than a trial, only in Western Democracy can you have a situation like this where the state steps in and say, this is a trial, but it will be more than that, it will be an event, putting on record, for history what happened. That is where the trial is going to be so long. It will last eight or nine months and why a large part of it, the whole of october will be taken up with witness statements from people who survived. It will be a long and harrowing period of the trial where people will step up and tell the Court And History what happened to them. It is a trial, an interesting trial because it is notjust the bit players in the dock. So often in these terrorist trials the main characters are dead and you have the backroom boys. You have people who are significant players in the plot, it is alleged in the dock and that will be very interesting. But this the fact it is being recorded for posterity and it will become part of the french national memory. Like very much. The french national memory. Like very much. Hugh the french national memory. Like very much, Hugh Schofield in paris. Dozens of women have marched through the streets of the afghan Capital Kabul demanding rights, a day after the taliban announced a new Interim Government with no female representatives. The us has also expressed concern about the Make Up of the taliban government which includes figures accused of mass killings. Our correspondent Yogita Limaye gave us this update from mumbai. This is something we are seeing almost every day from afghan women now, defying everything in the face of taliban forces, who are coming out and Firing Gunshots in the air. In some cases, beating them. They are still marching the streets. We have had dozens of women, Notjust In Kabul but in Badakhshan Province as well coming out today. We are hearing that those protests have been disbursed by the taliban and some protesters and some reporters who were covering those protests have been detained. From badakhshan, we have also heard that a hospital has received people who have been injured. They say because they were being beaten by taliban fighters on the streets who were trying to stop the protests. The women have been demanding their freedom. They are saying they are opposing the taliban government that was announced yesterday. A taliban Spokesman Today has said that if people want to protest they need to get permission from taliban authorities and that it cant be of a nature where abusive language is being used against leaders, or as they call it, islamic emirate of afghanistan. The taliban promised that the government its government would be inclusive. Clearly it is not, but apart from the protests, is there Anything Anybody can do about that . At the moment there is a group of Anti Taliban forces who call themselves the resistance front, who have been fighting in the panjshir sheer province, North East of kabul. They have released a Statement Yesterday telling the world, the international community and the United Nations saying dont recognise this new regime, dont establish diplomatic relations with them because they are an illegal government. We have had the us say that they are concerned about the Track Record and the affiliations of some members of that cabinet. We have got the minister for interior, for example, is the leader of a group, a Haqqani Network which is considered a Terrorist Organisation by the us. The us State Department did say that they didnT Think this government was inclusive. But i think the question is, what leveraged as the world have with the taliban to hold it to its commitments, to its statement of having an inclusive government . And even if they do, are they prepared to use it . In the uk, the Wealth-divide'>Wealth Divide between young people with rich and poor parents is big and determines who gets well Paid jobs, according to the Institute For Fiscal Studies. The Think Tank studied people born in the 19705 and 805, and found that people with parents in the poorest third were far less likely to become home owners. They also found that people with Wealthier parents save more and are more likely to hold investments. David sturrock, a senior Research Economist and author of the reportjoins us now. How does this determine who gets well Paid jobs . How does this determine who gets well Paid jobs . Well Paid obs . What we see is that even well Paid jobs .

What we see is that even when you are comparing two i even when you are comparing two children with similar parents in terms of how much their parents and, those with richer parents are tending to earn more. That suggests tensely that parental Wealth has a role in determining maybe your education, maybe your parents can buy you a better education if they are Wealthier, maybe they can help you out when youre starting your career, help you hold out for the top job. Career, help you hold out for the topjob. Those career, help you hold out for the top job. Those are the things that could be consistent with the patterns we are seeing. Is the gap widening. That is not something we looked at in our piece of research but there are some related bits of research that have been done which suggests the gap, in terms of Wealth between those of rich and poor parents is actually growing over time in the uk. That could be, as for example, House Prices have gone up for example, House Prices have gone up and it may be matters more who your parents are in terms of the Wealth that they have getting bigger and how they are able to help you get on the Housing Ladder and build up get on the Housing Ladder and build up your own Wealth.

They are briefing this morning, the iss is briefing that an ever growing Nhs Budget could swallow up all the Tax Rise. Iff. Leaving little for Social Care. The spending Review Process the government has announced around 12 Billion of additional yearly funding for the department of health and Social Care, alongside a corresponding Tax Rise. The plan seems to be this to be predominantly spent in the Health Service in the Long Term but more channelled into Social Care later in the parliament. But this is dependent on the government sticking to the spending totals, something which history tells us is unlikely. The father of Britney Spears has petitioned a Los Angeles Court to end the pop singers13 yearconservatorship. James spears has had control over his daughters� finances since 2008, which means she has not been in charge of decisions concerning her life, career and assets. Our correspondent David Willis reports from Los Angeles and a warning it does contain some flashing images. Youre toxic, im slippin under. Its an arrangement she has branded toxic one that Britney Spears says has prevented herfrom getting married and having a baby. Now, her father has finally agreed to relinquish the tight control hes maintained over her multi million Dollar Fortune ever since she was hospitalised with Mental Health issues, following several highly public breakDowns back in 2008. Having long maintained there was no justification for his removal from her conservatorship, jamie spears agreed, under mounting pressure last month, to step Down although he didnt specify when. A petition from Britney Spears lawyers to remove him was due to be heard later this month. But in papers filed on his behalf, jamie spears has now conceded that his daughters circumstances have changed, to the extent that grounds for the establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist. As mr spears has said again and again, the petition goes on, all he wants is what is best for his daughter. If miss spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, mr spears believes that she should get that chance. For the free Britney Fans whove long maintained that the Conservatorship Amounts to jamie spears holding his Daughter Hostage its a major victory. The singers lawyer, matthew rosengart, called it a massive legal victory, as well as vindication for miss spears. But he said an investigation into allegations of financial mismanagement on the Part Ofjamie spears will go on. Ending the conservatorship will give Britney Spears unfettered control over her life, her finances and her Health Treatment for the first time in 13 years. First, though, it requires the approval of thejudge overseeing her case and the next Court Hearing is due to take place in three weeks time. David willis, Bbc News, Los Angeles. Earlier our Music Reporter Mark savage gave us this update. Now that jamie spears now thatjamie spears has now that jamie spears has indicated he approved his daughters request to have him removed, it should be straightforward. He hasnt been in charge of her day to day affairs since 2019. He had a Health Scare of his own and somebody was put in as a temporary conservatorship. So whether she is allowed to drive, he hasnt been overseeing that side of her life for almost two years, but her life for almost two years, but he is in charge of herfinances, an estimated fortune of 60 million. It seems very straight forward at this point, the arrangement that has been in place since 2019 will be allowed to continue. The other side of it is whether the conservatorship will be ended completely. Britney still hasnt filed a conserve petition with the court to end it. Hasnt filed a conserve petition with the court to end it. Thank you for our with the court to end it. Thank you for your messages with the court to end it.

Robert says i would like to explain how raising taxes on money for the nhs will reduce or resolve the backlog. Will be building hospitals and find more doctors and nurses to increase capacity. Without which, i dont know how it reduces the backlog. Someone else on twitter says something had to be done at no solution will please everyone. Clive says i have No Problem with taxes being raised but what bothers me most is the tens of billions of pounds thrown at the useless Track And Trace sedans and other pointless times during the pandemic. Lorraine says iT Needs reform, not more money. On twitter, someone says, i dont get it, breaking Manifesto Promises and sounding heroic . How immoral. Why not simply tax the Wealthy, those who became richer during the pandemic. Ian norman is not alone in asking, could the government not use the £350 million from brexit for Social Care. Where is that money being spent now, i wonder . Mps will vote later Today And Boris johnsons plans for Tax Rises in the uk. They defend breaking election promises for the changes. Yes, we have broken a Manifesto Promise but we did know there was going to be a global pandemic and we will tackle that Waiting List, because we have also promised you the nhs will always be there for you. But independent analysis just released by the Institute For Fiscal Studies shows an evergrowing Nhs Budget could swallow up all of the money raised, leaving little for Social Care. 20 men will go on trial in paris today, accused of being involved in Terror Attacks which killed 130 people six years ago. Anti taliban forces have asked the international community to not recognise the all male government announced by the taliban. The Home Secretary will hold discussions with her french counterpart about the surge in the number of people crossing the English Channel to the uk. Over 1000 migrants have made the journey so far this week. Britney Spears Father has filed Court Documents seeking to end an arrangement that gave him control over her finances. The uk Home Secretary, Priti Patel, is meeting her french Counterpart Today to discuss the huge increase in the numbers of Peeople Crossing the English Channel on boats. The Home Office say that 785 migrants made the journey on monday alone. Ms patel has warned that britain could withhold £54 million its promised to pay the french to help deal with the problem, unless more boats are intercepted. pres from dover, our correspondent simonjones gave this update from dover, our correspondent Simon Jones gave this update. You can almost look at the Weather Forecast and predict when its going to be a Big Day. And i think given that its very calm out in the channel, the sun is shining, its going to be another Big Day today. And as we speak, Border Force are currently Down there at the port bringing back a Boat Carrying Migrants. There are people with life jackets on board. They will be taken into the port for processing. Earlier this morning, there was a big Search And Rescue operation, after a Boat Carrying Migrants was reported out in the channel. That involved the coastguard helicopter, the dover lifeboat, as well as the Border Force. So plenty for the Home Secretary Priti Patel to discuss with her french counterpart, gerald darmanin, when they meet today at a meeting of G7 Interior ministers In London. And in terms of the figures, its thought that around 400 500 people arrived yesterday. On monday, it was almost 800 people, on 27 boats. I think its going to be interesting to see what sort of tactic Priti Patel uses today. Is she going to go into this meeting and bang her fists on the table and say to the french, this is completely unacceptable, the numbers getting through, and threaten to withdraw the £54 million that britain has promised to give the french authorities to increase the patrols on beaches in Northern France and increase aerial surveillance . Or is she perhaps going to have to take a more conciliatory tone . Because the reality is, much as the government wants to make a big deal of taking back control of borders, this is not a problem that britain can solve on its own, its not a problem that can be solved simply by throwing money at it, and it will require international cooperation. Pierre Henri Dumont is a french politician for the republicans, representing the pas de calais. Is it as simple as the french intercepting more boats . Morning .

You| no, it is not as simple as that. You have got 1,000 Crossing Attempts in the last few nights. So basically, you see we cannot stop all the crossings because that is humanly speaking, technically speaking not possible to monitor all 300 or 400 kilometres offshore where you can hide in very different environments and spaces such as concrete monuments, such as wards, etc, etc. So the fact is, we are estimating almost 30 of the Crossing Attempts, smugglers, smuggler networks every week. We are intercepting. But we also need to in address not only the consequences of migration to the uk, but also the causes of migration to the uk. Here, with the money given by the british taxpayers to the french authorities to stop and to prevent the crossings in to are only addressing the consequences and not the causes, and if we want to stop for the sake and the safety of both sides of the channel, these illegal crossings, we need to address the causes of Migration And Thatis address the causes of migration and that is mainly on the internal british law. 50 that is mainly on the internal british law.

All of those people are english speaking people because they are coming from former british colonies. These people are not talking and speaking spanish or french or finnish or swedish, they speak english. So they think it is better for them to go to a country where they speak the language. First point. Second point is, it is easier to be illegal in uk than to be illegal in Continental Europe. In the uk, you can be illegal and still work because there is a very light work legislation. In the uk, you can be illegal and work on the streets, there is no random Id Checks as we do have in france. It is not illegal to be illegal in the uk, actually. And at the very end, a guy from afghanistan, iraq may go illegally in the uk and stay with its own community, without taking the risk as it sees to mix with other people. He can state with iraqi people in iraqi neighbourhoods, without mixing with the rest of the population. That is something we do not have an france or we do not have in other european countries. So all of these points put together make it the causes of migration for migrants to the uk and not staying in Continental Europe. And just to be clear, with figures and numbers, france right now is processing four to five times more than the uk so we are doing our part. The fact is the uk is not processing enough, either yes or no, Butjust Processing The app. And it would be a great help for Continental Europe countries for the uk to say yes or no, we are processing more and more applications, so then we can say to migrants, you are denied into the uk so please feel an obligation to stay as a refugee in Continental Europe. And it will be the end of some smuggling activities because right now, to apply for asylum when you are a migrant, you need to cross the channel illegally. There is no way for a migrant to apply for asylum in the uk. Why well they are not physically in the uk. So the process in the uk makes the migrants taking all the risks to cross and puts them in the hands of smugglers. I understand, so when the Home Secretary threatens to withhold some money from the french, it is kind of irrelevant really, isnt it . It is totally irrelevant. Irrelevant really, isnt it . It is totally irrelevant. I irrelevant really, isnt it . It is totally irrelevant. I am i irrelevant really, isnt it . It 3 totally irrelevant. I am sorry to say that, but we are doing whatever we can. And again, if we want to stop the migration between france and the uk, illegal migration, if we want to ask an example have safe routes for refugees recognised as refugees by uk laws, then we need to imagine something new, making the Migrant Easierfor the migrant imagine something new, making the migrant easier for the migrant to apply for asylum while they are still in germany, france, to be protected by the uk. And then with less money, where it will be less people patrolling french sure, it will be less technical stuff to prevent and to stop these crossings. So we will have more and more people trying to cross because the most successful the crossings are, the most people are coming to calais to try to cross. Most people are coming to calais to try to cross try to cross. Thank you very much, thank you try to cross. Thank you very much, thank you for try to cross. Thank you very much, thank you for talking try to cross. Thank you very much, thank you for talking to try to cross. Thank you very much, thank you for talking to us. Lets get more now on the vote later today in the British Parliament on plans for a national Insurance Rise, to pay for the nhs and Social Care in england. The plans to cap costs for Social Care will protect people against the � catastrophic fear of losing everything�. According to the Health Secretary, and the Prime Minister says that as well. Under the plans No One will have to pay more than £86,000 for their care, but as Tim Muffett reports, some families are already facing huge costs. My name isjonathan, my mother� s name isjean. She is 93, and she� s had parkinson� s for the last 20 years. As his mum� s health has declined, jonathan� s faced mounting costs emotional and financial. She has Paid for her care herself all along it� s about £267,000 now and that� s come from £180,000 of savings, plus her earnings because she does have an income. But now her half of the house has been sold, so she has basically left 166,000 to pay for the remainder of her care. And from my reckoning, that will last herjust over four years. And after that, she will be quite literally penniless. My mother worked for the nhs for many years, my father worked for the Post Office for many years. And they bought their house when things were. You know, not many people bought houses. So they saved, worked, and now all of their assets are likely to go. Campaigners are warning although the new changes are welcome, the chancellor will still need to provide more money for Council Care services. Jonathan thinks it� s unlikely his family will benefit from yesterday� s announcement. My overriding thoughts, actually, are about my father, who died must have been 25 years ago now he would so hate the idea that all his earnings, which Paid for their home, are likely to go. I think that would really, really upset him. Tim muffett, Bbc News. Margaret dangoor is a former carer and is now a trustee of carers uk.

Leaders of a pro Democrac Group which organises Hong Kong� s annual vigil to remember those massacred in Tiananmen Square have been arrested. Chow hang tung, the Vice Chairwoman of the Hong Kong alliance, was detained at her office. Three other Standing Committee Members were also arrested. Our Hong Kong correspondent, danny vincent, has more. In the early hours of this morning, we received reports mostly across Social Media that a number of these activists were being arrested. National Security Law Police arrived at their premises, at their offices, and at their homes to make this arrest. This group has been named by the National Security police as essentially being foreign agents. That means that the authorities are able to ask for the members of this group to provide information to the authorities, activities, Membership Names and their plans. The members of this group decided not to provide this information to the authorities and, as a result, it seems that these activists have become the latest here in Hong Kong to be arrested.

The glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro is receding fast and could disappear in as little as ten years. Scientists say Global Warming is taking its toll. Bbc africa� s Salim Kikeke reports. This mountain is personal to me. I was born on the foothills of kilimanjaro. It� s hard to imagine that by 2030, the glacier at the top could completely melt away. This is how the ice has melted in the span of nearly two decades, and it� s still changing today. We� re still in the cold season so, supposedly, there should be more glacier up there, but. Yeah, so the changes probably have an impact of what we� re seeing here today. Tourism is the main resource of foreign exchange in tanzania, bringing in billions of dollars. Around 35,000 people climb The Mountain every year. When we receive each one client, it goes a long way. It goes for the guides, for the poachers, for ourself and forfamilies around all the people who are working on kilimanjaro. So this could be a really big shock for us. With five different climates and ecological zones, Mount Kilimanjaro is very unique. It is also vulnerable to any changes. I� d love, i� d love to see my children� s children get to see this. Despite the retreating ice, for some tourists, just climbing The Mountain is enough. For others, the snow has a special importance. Just a big shame that some beautiful resource we have is going to go away because of humans. Its so sad, its the remnants of a glacier that we know is going to be gone soon. And, um, really happy i got to see it before its gone. Back at the base of The Mountain, the local residents are feeling the effects of the dwindling ice. Thousands depend on the Fresh Water from the slopes, but levels have dropped off. Deforestation has been blamed in part for this. Translation nonindigenous trees destroy the indigenous ones. I commercial trees tend to drain water. We must maintain the right Weather Conditions here and that, in turn, stops the glacier from melting. To help, the local authorities have created a Tree Planting Project with villagers to restore the numbers of indigenous trees cut Down over the years. Looking up at Mount Kilimanjaro, i� m left wondering what the next ten years will bring. Will the tourists disappear with the ice . Whatever happens, one thing is clear the locals here are already feeling the changes that Global Warming and Climate Change are causing all Around The World. Salim kikeke, Bbc News, kilimanjaro, in tanzania. Some Breaking News from russia.

It is the Emergencies Minister, i should say. More details as soon as we have it. Spain� s prime Minister Will Chair an urgent meeting of the country� s commission against Hate Crimes on friday. It follows widespread anger over a brutal homophobic assault on a 20 year old spaniard in Central Madrid. A spate of similar attacks and killings in recent months has led some of spain� s Lgbtq Community to fear openly displaying their sexuality. Mark lobel reports and there are some distressing details from the start. In this part of Central Madrid on sunday, eight hoooded, knife wielding attackers reportedly carved a homophobic remark into the skin of a 21 year old gay man as he entered his apartment. Translation that kind. Of violence in broad daylight in the afternoon is not normal. Translation lets see if people | of any kind of persuasion will be | able to walk Down the street now. Of course it� s insecurity. Insecurity felt in july Too, when thousands protested after 24 year old Nursing Assistant Samuel luiz was beaten to death outside of a nightclub in the north of the country. In may, five gay men were injured in three attacks over one weekend in barcelona. The government hopes a new bill on equal treatment and Non Discrimination being considered by parliament will help, and spain� s Prime Minister, pedro sanchez, has announced he Will Chair an urgent meeting of spain� s anti Hate Crimes commission on friday. Translation what matters is the Prime Minister is personally assuming something, i think, as a society, we all have to commit ourselves to. Disapproving of any aggression or intimidation, based on origin or any citizen in our country. Spain was the third country in the world to legalise same sex marriage. The vast majority of spaniards say homosexuality should be accepted by society, but activist groups say attacks on lgbtq people are increasing. Translation because of speeches from some political parties an Instituional Consensus that we had in our country of unanimous condemnation of this type of violence has been broken. Some blame spain� s far right opposition Vox Party which has, in the past, pledged to curtail Pride Parades and ridiculed diversity lessons, but they fiercely deny any link. Translation no Vox Policy encourages any| kind of violent action. While police investigate the latest attack, the scars from it spread deep amongst spain� s Lgbtq Community, which spain� s politicians seem keen to heal as soon as possible. Mark lobel, Bbc News. A unicef study on the impact of School Closures in india has found that 42 of children reported not using any type of remote learning during the pandemic. The Indian Government has rolled out Tools for online education but to very mixed results. As schools finally consider reopening, the bbc� s Divya Arya meets some children living through this long shutDown of education. Radica and herfriends are excited, but nervous. They� re trying to write, after many months. Radica lifts her tiny chalk, hesitates and finally writes the wrong letter. The ten year old� s education has become a casualty of the pandemic. What did they teach you at school . , i ask her. A, b, c, d, the Hindi Alphabet and maths. They used to teach us everything, she says. Hindi and english were herfavourite. Children in this village in eastern india� s chakand do not have access to internet or smartphones. Parents are mostly illiterate. With no classes during the pandemic, online or off line, learning has come to a halt. This dilapidated building is the local Primary School for children up to the age of ten, and it has been shut for more than 16 months now. And even when these doors open, some children may have been left Too far behind to compete and get through school again. Education definitely, for most poor parents, it� s the only hope that their children will ever get a better life. This economist is coordinating the survey to understand how underprivileged children have been impacted by the lack of schooling. The Public Policy is driven largely by what is called the Middle Class but actually, it� s the privilege classes, a relatively small minority. Maybe 20 , 30 of the population. And this entire policy of complete reliance on online education, that is geared to this so called Middle Class. It works well for them. Their children are safe At Home. Like in this home in a delhi suburb, where this seven year old continued to study safely. She is helped by her educated mother and does online classes regularly. How is having classes online . Good, but bad. Good because i can make a big pot, but also sit in my class, and bad that i have tojoin, not go. She has also learned dance and the spanish language. But it� s not enough. I want to go back to school. No, no. I demand that it opens. It� s what radica told me, Too. The wide gap between such children has only deepened during the pandemic. When schools feel safe enough to reopen, the challenge would be to bridge this learning divide. Bbc news, chakand. Divya arya, Bbc News, chakand. A magnitude seven earthquake has struck the Pacific Coast of mexico, close to the resort of acapulco.

Hot and sunny for many today, should stores would develop more widely tomorrow and gradually temperatures drip away storms will develop. Into this afternoon, severe thunderstorms, channel islands, South West england, may be isolated storms in Northern Ireland. Could come with Flash Flooding with storms in the south and west. Temperatures nine or 10 degrees lower than yesterday but 28 or 29 or 30 degrees in the South West of england and 27 across some parts of scotland. Overnight, showers and thunderstorms erratically push northwards. A bit hit or miss. Some places stay completely dry, misty and murky, but we see showers causing a little disruption to sleep in places and it will be a humid night across the uk, temperatures like last night for many sitting in the teens if not close to around 20 celsius for thursday morning. This is thursday, an area of low pressure circulating around it. We are in the middle of it. The wind is an optically strong, showers and thunderstorms working in scotland and Northern Ireland for the bulk of the day, some lasting throughout in northern england. Further south, some shows develop, many stay dry. After the Morning Mist and moat, a good deal of sunshine and although temperatures are Down on what we saw to start the week, it will still feel fairly muggy. Fairly humid night follows, the evening continues to produce showers and thunderstorms across the northern and western parts of the uk, but into friday, the area of low pressure is sitting on top of us. Think of it as a Breathing Ground for showers. A lot of the showers fade away as temperatures drop away your touch, fade away as temperatures drop away yourtouch, but fade away as temperatures drop away your touch, but still a Muggy Morning on friday, as temperatures rise during the day, sunshine comes out and showers develop more widely, especially in england areas. Around some coasts, staying dry and sunny all day. All of the Sea Temperatures start to drop away, around 17 23. Into the weekend, one or two showers, shower is becoming fewer in number, but the outlook into next week, it is going to be considerably cooler than we have seen over the last few days.

Britain� s Emma Raducanu is in quarter final Action Today at the Us Open in new york. Mps will vote later today on the Prime Minister� s plans for a national Insurance Rise, to pay for the nhs and Social Care. Yesterday borisjohnson announced what he called the biggest Catch Up Programme in the history of the nhs. £36 billion, raised over 3 years, to deal with the backlog caused by the pandemic. More than £5 Billion of that will go towards changes to Social Care in england. Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland will also receive an additional £2. 2 Billion to spend on their services. The money will also be used to overhaul how much families pay towards Social Care. But analysis from the Institute For Fiscal Studies says that an ever growing Nhs Budget could swallow up all of this week� s Tax Rise leaving little for Social Care. The extra money for health and Social Care will be Paid by a uk wide increase in National Insurance contributions of 1. 25 percentage points for most workers that will go from 12 to 13. 25 of earnings which will become a new health and social Care Levy on your Payslip And Tax returns. This makes it the largest Tax Rise in more than 40 years. Let� s look at what it means for you. Someone on £20,000 a year will pay an extra £130 annually. Someone earning £50,000 will pay an extra £505. And what� s also new here is that people over the State Pension Age who are working will also have to pay the new levy. The government says that� s fair. But does it go far enough . Others argue it� s still the young footing a disproportionate amount of the bill. Our political correspondent, Helen Catt reports. The Covid Pandemic has left the nhs with some big Waiting Lists to clear. Funding Social Care has been a problem for years. The government� s answer to both is to raise National Insurance against its promises. We cannot now shirk the challenge of putting the nhs back on its feet, which requires fixing the problem of Social Care and investing the money needed. So we will do what is right, reasonable and fair. The rate of National Insurance will go up for everyone from april next year by 1. 25 percentage points. From 2023 it will show up on payslips as a separate charge the health and social Care Levy. The government says it will raise £12 Billion a year. This package of reforms, we believe, is unjust, it� s half baked, and it breaks very solemn conservative election pledges. So i think the first thing to do is point that out. Only 15 of what is going to be raised in the next three years will go towards Social Care. Raised in the next three years and, actually, that� s not nearly enough. That� s because, to start with, most of the money will go towards clearing the backlog in the nhs, before Social Care gets a bigger share. Im on message. From October 2023, nobody in england will have to pay more than £86,000 over their lifetime for care. But there are worries in the sector. The problem here is that people who aren� t paying for their own care because they haven� t got any money, or because it� s Run Out they are dependent on the state to pick up the tab, and the amounts of Money Councils have to fulfil that responsibility hasn� t kept pace with the growing demand both from older people, but from disabled people of working age, as well. So those holes in their budget have continued to grow over the last ten years or so, and nothing that was announced really starts to fill those back up again. Working people across the uk will pay the charge. The Care Plan is for england, but Northern Ireland, wales and scotland will get more money to decide how to spend. Borisjohnson hasn� t ruled out putting up more taxes in future. It� s expected mps will vote for this rise later, but there are still lots of questions about how it will all work. Helen catt, Bbc News, westminster. Let� s speak to our political correspondent peter saull. What is the latest reaction . In the Run U to what is the latest reaction . In the Run Up to yesterday what is the latest reaction . In the Run Up to yesterday was what is the latest reaction . In the Run Up to yesterday was mike i Run Up to yesterday was mike announcement, there were quite concerned about backbench conservative mps, even Cabinet Ministers, really quite worried about the idea raking the promise, a solemn pledge not to raise taxes but ultimately yesterday was quite well received for a couple of reasons, the first being it is packaged to deal with people of the money from the Health Service in the first years and they said people who are above the State Pension Age will have to pay National Insurance which they don� t at the moment and there is the thought of a tax on share dividend, Too, which has done a lot to allay concerns, so borisjohnson will be pretty happy going into the first Prime Minister� s questions but there has been a real drive from ministers to justify this Tax Rise with the Health Secretary Sajid Javid doing the rounds this morning. I was told that if things carry on as they were Business As Usual that we would be looking at a Waiting List of about 13 Million in three years time. Now, my choice is, at that point, i can say, well, you know, we made a promise in the manifesto and we dont want to break it, lets Doggedly Stick to it and let that Waiting List go to 13 Million. Or we canjust confront the problem, be honest with the british people, take the difficult decision and say, yes, we have broken a Manifesto Promise, but we also didnt know there was going to be a global pandemic and were going to tackle that Waiting List because we have also promised to you that the nhs will always be there for you, world class service, free at the point of use, there for everyone. And i think weve taken the right set of decisions. Because so much of the money in the first race is going to the nhs, there are concerns that Social Care will not get enough of a slice of the pie so to and the independent Think Tank, the Institute For Fiscal Studies, has pointed out that usually when there is a tax boost, it likes to use that and cannot deal with the money in the long run. The Care Sector for local councils, the national care association, said this earlier on. It national care association, said this earlier on. ,. , national care association, said this earlier on. ,. , earlier on. It will be an extra added words earlier on. It will be an extra added words and earlier on. It will be an extra added words and onto i earlier on. It will be an extra added words and onto the i added words and onto the administration of Care Homes at the casa colluding all elements of the Care Sector. We will have to look at every person having an assessment of their needs so this is where the Care Element will be based on so it will not be a constant figure for everyone, it will be based on what your care are from this assessment which will be done at the point of requiring care and of course people do not stay the same, they have progressing illnesses and they might even get better so the elements of their care could actually change over time, so it will be a constant Review Process which will require a lot of administration, a lot of assessment and we will have the varying costs of the workforce which will go into the Care Element on top of the mix that is required to give the appropriate care to that person. A lot still to discuss, busy day in the House Of Commons starting with Prime Minister� s questions and then a lengthy debate on this health and social Care Levy. They have both tabled amendments calling for our levy. Meanwhile, there is also something put forward by some of the left on the Wealth-tax'>Wealth Tax which they are calling for, they argue at unfairly target one lower incomes. The Institute For Fiscal Studies says an ever growing Nhs Budget could swallow up all of this week� s Tax Rise, leaving little for Social Care.

Is being earmarked for the nhs need short term to deal with a backlog of Elective Care to deal with the ongoing cost of the pandemic and the recovery but over time, as the government� s new plan for social Care Funding is introduced, the new cat on lifetime Care Cost is introduced, because that will build up over time and it means as parliament goes on and into the later part of this decade, more of the funding is channelled into Social Care and the challenge is the nhs historically doesn� tjust spend what is planned, the plans are normally top, and the Nhs Budget actually grows on average 50 faster than planned with point faster. If history is to repeat self in the nhs needs more money going forward, that could mean squeezing more Social Care, leaving that and more money for Tax Rises, more boring, but more tricky decisions.

This is a well announcement, a big sum of money, biting the bullet and providing the funding but the question is, will it be enough to please everyone and the answer is, if history repeats itself, they could be life fairly disappointed. It sounds like the money in the near term swallowed up by increased numbers of workers and Social Care, increased pay for workers and in the longer term, increased pay for workers and in the longerterm, mainly funding increased pay for workers and in the longer term, mainly funding that can so where does that leave improving Social Care lots of details to be filled in and the Spending Review is due in late october, they may well come forward with more money and there are other aspect of Social Care, making sure it is notjust about the financial body needs test, who qualifies, who has knee and never mind who pays for it, that will require additional money as well, so looking into the medium term, i think inevitable bending on Health And Care.

The numbers need to increase what not be disentangled from funding for local government, councils are the ones who vied Social Care services and organise who gets what Care Package where, how much they pay, so we really need to think about not what the nhs gets what the Funding Settlement for local government and that the decision for the chancellor later this year and one we should not ignore.

That is to welcome and there are plenty of worse ways to raise taxes and National Insurance but there are some issues with the precise package of tax proposed as has been mentioned lots of times in the last few days, almost entirely Paid by the young, so people still working at the age of six 50 p this new health and social Care Levy but it will not be payable on their Pension Income and there are issues about the complexity of increasing your whole new tax, is a necessary smack but putting it all together, i think it is broadly welcome and its a sensible package of proposals.

And you dont want. Share and the prosperity and there is the inflation figures. I think it is the inflation figures. I think it is a very hard sell to pensioners� pennies so that is where the floor came in and what the government seem to have done this time round and said they would be Earnings Number because earnings have done strange things during the pandemic but they will still take the better of the 2. 5 Floor Or Inflation to the year of september and the best guesses that will be the number, 3. 5 , once we have the inflation figure. It is a one off of we have the inflation figure. It is a one off of what we have the inflation figure. It is a one off of what is we have the inflation figure.

Income tax would not be. National insurance and really complicating National Insurance system is levying as National Insurance on dividends which would normally happen so there was also torture to dress up a much bigger Tax Rises if it were something smaller and my preference would have been to be straight or people, to use a simple and well undersTood method which is Income Tax which would have been a fairer way of sharing. Itjust has to be taken by someone. As the details come through for the long awaited plans to reform the Social Care let� s try and answer some of the questions that have been coming into Bbc News. With me is Ruthe Isden, Health Influencing Programme Director at Age Uk and Natasha Curry, Deputy Director of policy at the nuffield trust. Welcome. Thank you forjoining us. Plenty of questions and they are all really specific so it will be good to get your answers for people who have so many questions to ask. First question from richard, does the £86,000 include accommodation and meals while in the Care Home as much that� s a really good question. The £86,000 cap is not set to include what are generally known as Hotel Cost so your Bed And Board. You will. Any money spent towards Bed And Board while making progress towards cap will not count towards the 86,000 and people will still need to continue paying those Bed And Board costs after they reach the cat as well, so the answer is no, you will have to continue to pay for those Separately. You will have to continue to pay for those Separately. What would those Actuall Tut those Separately. What would those actually put the those Separately. What would those actually put the figure those Separately. What would those actually put the figure up those Separately. What would those actually put the figure up to those Separately. What would those actually put the figure up to on i actually put the figure up to on average . Actually put the figure up to on averate . ,. ,. ,. ,. , average . The original proposals are that the governments average . The original proposals are that the governments suggest i that the government� s suggest capping Hotel Cost to make sure people were not paying what was fair or to continue paying out of their usual income, the Pension Income is not the deal suggested £200 230 a week. You probably expected to be in that region if the government do go ahead and cap Hotel Cost as we expect them to do. Ahead and cap Hotel Cost as we expect them to do. Take it to an avera. E expect them to do. Take it to an average of expect them to do. Take it to an average of £100,000 expect them to do. Take it to an average of £100,000 on i expect them to do. Take it to an average of £100,000 on the i expect them to do. Take it to an L Average of £100,000 on the most someone would expect to pay as might it would really depend on how long they would be in a Care Home for but say it is costing £700 per week, that� s a pretty average figure, that would mean £500 of that money is counting towards the cap and the person is paying £200 Separately, and then once they reach the cap or spent the £86,000 based on that £500 per week figure, that would take most people a couple of years at least, they would then carry on paying 200 pounds 230 per week assuming it will be Paid. £200 during 30. £200 230. A lot of that would be the Bed And Board. That is what they are paying on their own home so that is the logic but it� s fair to ask people to carry on paying the sort of what you would incur if living At Home. I� ue would incur if living At Home. Ive ust would incur if living At Home. Ive just realised would incur if living At Home. Ive just realised youve gone straight just realised you� ve gone straight into answering peter� s question which was the next one of the £86,000 not including accommodation, how much is it likely to cost, so i think we� ve covered that, have we . Anything else to add or you was myi anything else to add or you was my i would say i think it we very locally. Unless we have some sort of cap of income from the hotels which i don� T Think was in yesterday� s announced that, it was in previous proposals, so they set their own fees and i think it� s a little unclear at the moment what portion of that is for the care and what isn� t. It depends On Local Fire such as the Bed Property prices and how luxurious the. Would be so there is a huge variation in what people can expect from hotels. The question is what is £86,000 can expect from hotels. The question is what is £86,000 get can expect from hotels. The question is what is £86,000 get you can expect from hotels.

Range of variables, what kind of care do someone need how long do they need it for, and sickly where they need it for, and sickly where they live in the country. I can give a little bit of an idea, some ballpark figures, and having someone come into your house to help you out with various tasks, that can cost upwards of about £15 20 per hour or more depending on where you are and then living in a Care Home, again there is a big variation depending where you live in the country and also the type of need and how intensive your kenny, but can cost anywhere from £500,000 500 pounds 600 per week to £2000. It is varied so there is a guide for people watching, the £86,000 Cap Stop want to talk about Hotel Costs, what counts and what doesn� t, it would take most people on average 35 would take most people on average 3 5 years living in a Care Home to reach the care, so hopefully that gives people a sense of the sort of level of care that you would need to receive before getting to that point. 5 receive before getting to that toint. , receive before getting to that toint. ,. , ,. , receive before getting to that toint. ,. ,. ,. , point.

It is also the fact there are plenty of people who cannot access Social Care, so the narrowly focused issue, there are people struggling with not enough care because of cuts to Council Budgets in recent years. One quick thing to say on this as people are not forced to sell their home immediately, you can defer the and put a charge on your property and then that comes out of your estate after you� ve died, so there are.

The increase in funding that has raised through National Insurance, some as to the nhs and the amount going toward Social Care at the moment is really around the. No idea what the funding will go for from that. More people have started need care. The research as councils raise some money towards those caught but, of course, that in itself will not enough so what are the things you� re still looking for and waiting to youras still looking for and waiting to your as our local authority budgets will be increased to meet some of these costs as well.

Many partners and spouses have joint savings and assets and as a general rule you would be assumed to have a 50 share of those so essentially people are treated as Individuals. There are some exceptions to that for example if you jointly own your house and one person moves into a Care Home and the other person stays in the property, for practical purposes the value of the property is not taken into account whilst it is not taken into account whilst it is still in use by the other person.

Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, after their crucial World Cup Qualifying win in austria. Scotland Boss Steve Clarke sez his team deserve a � little more respect�. The victory takes them second in the group. And was a second in a row. The only goal in vienna came from this challenge on che adams. It was looked at by var and when it was given lyndon dykes stepped up to score. And after some recent criticism. Clarke has backed his squad i love this group of players. I love what they do for their country. I love the way they play for their country. I love their hunger and their desire to get to tournaments. They know they had to come here and get a positive result. They dug in, they showed their qualities at the right times, they showed their Battle And Strength at the right time. And, as ive said before, were a good team, were a good group, we want to get better. We know we can get better. Meanwhile, the republic of ireland came from a goal Down to draw 1 all with serbia. An own goal rescuing a point for stephen kenny� s side, who are still nine points adrift of a play off place. Three more qualifiers for the home nations tonight. Involving northern Ireland Wales and england. Who are in warsaw as they look to secure their place in qatar next winter. They� ve already comfortably beaten poland in this Qualifying Campaign at wembley in march as one of the five wins out of five so far in the campaign. But this is likely to be their sternest test. With poland england� s nearest challengers wales are also back in action after their last Minute Winner against belarus kept them in the hunt for an automatic place at the finals. They take on estonia At Home in cardiff and a win could take them up to second in their group. Meanwhile, it� s a huge night in belfast as northern Ireland Face switzerland a win at Winsdor Park would see them move above their opponents into second place. Emma raducanu will hope to continue what she� s described as a � surreal� summer later. The 18 year old� s extraordinary run at the Us Open has taken her to the quarter finals. Where she� ll play the olympic champion from tokyo. Belinda bencic. Raducanu still hasn� t lost a set in either Qualifying Orthe main draw in reaching the last 8. Golf� s open championship will return to Northern Ireland and Royal Portrush in 2025. It will be the second time the it has staged the major in six yea rs. Its long awaited return attracted over 230 Thousand spectators in 2019, setting a new Attendance Record for a championship held outside st andrews. Shane lowry clinched the claretjug on that occasion, beating tommy fleetwood. American Collin Morikawa is the reigning champion. Now one of the standout moments from the tokyo paralympics was seeing british cycling golden Couple Neil and Lora Fachie winning gold medals just minutes apart and smashing world records in the process. Earlier, they spoke to Bbc Breakfast about that special day. We were obviously very nervous going into it. And while i was warming up for my race, i watched lora in her qualification break her record which, for me, was very emotional, but it fired me up to go. Then i broke the world record, got the gold and watched lora get the gold in her final ride as well. Then there was a period of about 30 minutes where we didn� t see each other. Then finally, we got that moment to have that Hug And Lora just said to me, we� ve done it. I got home on saturday and neil told me hes taken a screenshot of the fact that David Beckham liked this photo on instagram. Its just crazy. Olympic Silver Medallist Ethan Hayter is the new leader of cycling� s tour of britain. He impressed on the track in the madison with matt walls, and now he� s showing what he can do on the road. A fine performance from the ineos grenadiers in the time trial put hayter in the Race Lead with five stages to go. There� s a tough day ahead, as the race will climb the great orme in llandudno. That� s all the sport for now. I� ll have more for you in the next hour. The trial of 20 men accused of being involved in the November 2015 paris attacks, including the only surviving suspected attacker, is just getting under way. 130 people died and hundreds were injured when gunmen struck bars and restaurants, as well as france� s national Football Stadium and the bataclan concert hall. Our Paris Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. It was a night with no safe haven, when No One knew where to run. When gunmen brought chaos to paris� bars and restaurants. Its Football Stadium. The bataclan concert hall. Stephane lost his son, hugo, that night at the bataclan. No trial, he says, can heal the pain. It was complicated because it� s, first of all, a personal loss the loss of a child, my son and it� s also a collective loss. And then it was sometimes difficult to manage these two situations. 20 defendants are accused of murder, complicity, and terrorist conspiracy. Salah abdeslam the only suspected attacker to survive that night is facing the most serious charges. 19 others are accused of involvement including mohammed abrini, who prosecutors say accompanied the attackers to paris from their home in belgium. Six of the accused are being tried in absentia. And for a unique event, a unique location. This temporary courtroom built exclusively for the trial sits within the historic Court Ofjustice in paris. The light colours have been chosen to promote a sense of calm, there� s a secure box for the defendants, and ten cameras to record the trial for france� s national history. The trauma of that night has continued to ripple through france. Six years on, what will it mean to see Salah Abdeslam standing in the dock . You know, you just imagine the devil. You just imagine somebody with a strong intellectual. Maybe. Maybe i� m wrong. But people, we think, that� s this kind of man who have done so awful things. Stephane says he doesn� T Need to see the key defendant but he wants abdeslam to see him. After six years, it� s very important for me to face him and to face the other and to say, ok, look at me, i� m there, i� m alive. My son is not there but through me, he� s still here, we are still standing. You didn� t win. For stephane, this trial marks the moment when national trauma becomes national history. Easierfor a nation to move on, he says, than for him. Lucy williamson, Bbc News, paris. Earlier we received this update from our Paris Correspondent Hugh Schofield, who� s at the Palais Dejustice it is a monumentally important day in france. November the 13th, 2015 is a day of carnage. This trial is more than a trial, only in Western Democracy can you have a situation like this where the state steps in and say, this is a trial, but it will be more than that, it will be an event, putting on record, for history what happened. That is where the trial is going to be so long. It will last eight or nine months and why a large part of it, the whole of october will be taken up with witness statements from people who survived. It will be a long and harrowing period of the trial where people will step up and tell the Court And History what happened to them. It is a trial, an interesting trial because it is notjust the bit players in the dock. So often in these terrorist trials the main characters are dead and you have the backroom boys. You have people who are significant players in the plot, it is alleged in the dock and that will be very interesting. But this the fact it is being recorded for posterity and it will become part of the french national memory. Let� s Ta Ke let� s take you live to the hearings getting under way and as we were hearing it is going to be a long duration last nine months. The french Justice Minister Duration last nine months. The Frenchjustice Minister has described this as an unprecedented judicial marathon. The first days of the trial are expected to be largely procedural, plaintiffs will be registered and the judges may read a summary of how the attacks unfolded. This the start of that lengthy process as the November 2015 attacks are poured over with many witnesses and those involved in the court and the verdict expected in late may. Russian Emergencies Minister Yevgeny Zinichev has died while saving a person� s life at a training exercise. The exercises were taking plan in the arctic city of norilsk. According to russian state media he tried to save a cameraman who slipped and fell off a cliff into water. After weeks of evacuations, thousands of afghan refugees are now adjusting to their new lives in the uk, but the question still remains of what will happen to those left behind. Joya, whose name we have changed, was an afghan special Forces Commander who worked alongside british forces, and managed to get out of kabul a few weeks ago. Our Defence Correspondentjonathan Beale went to meet him. Afghan special forces have been fighting the taliban for years and taking heavy casualties. Joya was one of their commanders, hand picked and trained by elite troops from the parachute regiment. He was still fighting long after the british left helmand. This Isjoya Firing on taliban positions just one month ago. He said they were still fighting until they ran out of ammunition. Till the end we will fight, till we can we fight. Without any support, without ammunition, without any supplies, how can we fight . With empty hands, you no can fight. By then the taliban had taken control of kabul and crowds had gathered outside the airport. The taliban were already tracking joya Down. So were his old friends from the parachute regiment in a race against time. They found my Phone Number and called me and said, where are you . I said, i am in kabul. They said, you are safe . I said, no, i change my location every night. Two weeks ago, joya was living in fear for his life. Today he is tasting freedom. Now safe In London with his wife and two young children. Rescued at the dead of night by british soldiers who never forgot. They said, Tomorrow Night you come in at midnight, at one o� clock, in a bar in a hotel, we come in and pick up you. At midnight, one o� clock, i arrived. They came out and called my name, come to the airport. Put us on the plane and came away to here. Danjarvis. Later today, ill be reunited with an afghan special Forces Commander that i had the privilege of serving alongside. He is deeply concerned about the hundreds of his men who were left behind. Its an incredibly moving moment for me. I didnt know whether he would make it out of afghanistan alive or not. Its so good to see you. Iii years after they first met in helmand, there is genuine relief at being reunited. But also real worries about what will happen to those left behind. These are people who are uniquely at risk because of the nature of the service they provided. They are top of the taliban list for being executed is the reality of it, so i am deeply fearful for their future. There is a real urgency and the british governmenT Needs to move at pace to do everything they possibly can to get those people out. The band of brothers from the parachute regiment are now raising funds to help those likejoya, who managed to get out. He is now making plans for his family� s new life in britain. He still hopes more of his men will follow but the question is how . Jonathan beale, Bbc News. Our correrspondent Yogita Limaye is in mumbai with the latest from afghanistan. At the moment there is a group of Anti Taliban forces who call themselves the resistance front, who have been fighting in the panjshir sheer province, North East of kabul. They have released a Statement Yesterday telling the world, the international community and the United Nations saying don� t recognise this new regime, don� t establish diplomatic relations with them because they are an illegal government. We have had the us say that they are concerned about the Track Record and the affiliations of some members of that cabinet. We have got the minister for interior, for example, is the leader of a group, a Haqqani Network which is considered a Terrorist Organisation by the us. The us State Department did say that they didn� T Think this lets go back to paris where those feelings and beginning of the trial of 20 men accused of being involved in the 2015 palace attacks including the only surviving suspected attacker and we understand he has arrived at the court. The healings were one of a nine months, he was arrested after a four Month Manhunt following those attacks, arrested in belgium and brought back to paris and now he is facing the most serious of the charges amongst those on trial. There are iii defendants standing trial who have arrived at is undersTood so those healings boggle one ninth months and be seeing inside the courtroom earlier, a special courtroom has been built for these very significant healings. Hearings. The Home Secretary, Priti Patel, is meeting her french Counterpart Today to discuss the huge increase in the numbers of Peeople Crossing the English Channel on boats. The Home Office say that 785 migrants made the journey on monday alone. Ms patel has warned that britain could withhold Fifty Four Million pounds it� s promised to pay the french to help deal with the problem, unless more boats are intercepted. You can almost look at the Weather Forecast and predict when it� s going to be a Big Day. And i think given that it� s very calm out in the channel, the sun is shining, it� s going to be another Big Day today. And as we speak, Border Force are currently Down there at the port bringing back a Boat Carrying Migrants. There are people with life jackets on board. They will be taken into the port for processing. Earlier this morning, there was a big Search And Rescue operation, after a Boat Carrying Migrants was reported out in the channel. That involved the coastguard helicopter, the dover lifeboat, as well as the Border Force. So plenty for the Home Secretary Priti Patel to discuss with her french counterpart, gerald darmanin, when they meet today at a meeting of G7 Interior ministers In London. And in terms of the figures, it� s thought that around 400 500 people arrived yesterday. On monday, it was almost 800 people, on 27 boats. I think it� s going to be interesting to see what sort of tactic Priti Patel uses today. Is she going to go into this meeting and bang her fists on the table and say to the french, this is completely unacceptable, the numbers getting through, and threaten to withdraw the £54 million that britain has promised to give the french authorities to increase the patrols on beaches in Northern France and increase aerial surveillance . Or is she perhaps going to have to take a more conciliatory tone . Because the reality is, much as the government wants to make a big deal of taking back control of borders, this is not a problem that britain can solve on its own, it� s not a problem that can be solved simply by throwing money at it, and it will require international cooperation. Back now to our top story that mps will vote later today on whether to increase National Insurance in order to pay for the nhs and Social Care. The Prime Minister described the plans which include capping Care Costs in england at £86,000 as � reasonable and fair�. I� m joined now by Wendy Burton who� s husband ian is in a Care Home with early Onset Dementia. Thank you forjoining us. Tell us a bit more about your situation. Han bit more about your situation. Ian was bit more about your situation. Nari was diagnosed with young Onset Dementia when he was 50 in 2014 and he moved into care in 2016 as a way of keeping him safe. We pay part of hiS Care monthly and obviously we own our house so half of the house is taken into consideration with his Care Costs. We have three daughters, the youngest was 14 when he got diagnosed so that was quite difficult, she has been a dependent untiljust now, just completed university so i have had to front and through university myself because ian� s funding does not consider anything like that. I consider anything like that. I cannot imagine the pressure you must feel under and also the fact you mentioned half the house counts towards the money he is having to spend, be spent on hiS Care, does that make you feel vulnerable that you might lose your house . I thrill] you might lose your house . I will not lose my you might lose your house . I will not lose my house you might lose your house . I will not lose my house because i you might lose your house . In it not lose my house because whilst i am alive they cannot take it but if i want to move and Downsize because the family have left home, if i buy something at the same value that will be fine but if i buy something cheaper any equity i take out of the house, half of it will be taken for ian� S Care. House, half of it will be taken for Ians Care Ians Care. The government has announced Ians Care. The government has announced these Ians Care. The government has announced these changes i Ians Care. The government has announced these changes but l Ians Care. The government has i announced these changes but they will not come into effect until 2023, what do you think about that. We miss out on that which is disappointing, my National Insurance boggle from april. I have somebody in Care But None of that money go towards hiS Care which seems unfair and i work with people with dementia, i can see over the next year people will be very reluctant to put loved ones into care because if they leave it until 2023 then some of the costing will be taken into consideration. Of this next 18 months that not happen and that could be to the detriment of somebody with a diagnosis. You told us about your somebody with a diagnosis. You told us about your different somebody with a diagnosis.

I don� t want to become bitter about anything, i think that is very corrosive so i try and live life as best i can and with my daughters but it is difficult, i did not go one holiday, have not been until this year not always because of finances but finances played a big part in it, i have not been able to afford to go on holiday.

Coming up we� ll bring you Prime Minister� s questionss another hot and sunny day across the uk but changes taking place, some severe thunderstorms developing into the afternoon, risk of flooding. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in Northern Ireland and a few Showers Bus towards Orkney And Shetland but most of the country dry, fairly sunny across scotland, england and North East wales and ten to just 25 30. Overnight showers pushing north, that could give a disturbed Nights Sleep as could the fact that is going to be very humid, 1218, fact that is going to be very humid, 12 18, maybe 24 some as we start tomorrow morning. Much cloudier tomorrow, greater chance of thunderstorms, if you through anger than wales through the day, but some are staying dry, even though not as hot still quite humid and through the weekend the sheraton numbers start to fade and it will feel fresher. Coming up we� ll bring you Prime Minister� s questionss let� s go to westminster and speak to our political correspondent, Pete Saull we know what to expect today, it will be about the Social Care, there is a vote later and what line do you expect labour to take. This time Yesterday Boris Johnson expect labour to take. This time Yesterday Borisjohnson was preparing to make a really big announcement forfulfilling preparing to make a really big announcement for fulfilling the promise he made on the day he became Prime Minister to come up with a plan for dealing with Social Care but also fulfilling the Promise Yesterday he broke another one which was key in the conservative manifesto not to raise any taxes. 2011 manifesto not to raise any taxes. 20 was on he is about to go back 201 was on he is about to go back to the Dispatch Box in death on cable be happy the expected backlash from his own Side Yesterday did not really materialise, even after were quite a few conservatives are supporting newspapers grumbling so we are not expecting a big Backbench Rebellion on the levy when mps vote about 7pm. Actually quite a big moment for Keir Starmer, the first time he will have taken part in pm cues and a packed commons chamber. He has been packed the ask parties but not since spring last year has the big Set Piece Event had the benches as full as they are today. I would expect Keir Starmer to pick up on what the Institute For Fiscal Studies said this morning about Tax Rise that will be raised by being swallowed up by the nhs leaving very vital ultimately for Social Care, also probably argue about the fairness about a rise in National Insurance, the line from labour as it unfairly impacts younger working people. The Labour Lead that is also under pressure from his own side, a group of left Wing Labour mps have come forward with an alternative proposal, a Wealth-tax'>Wealth Tax on people with lots of assets rather than a National Insurance so it will be interesting to see, i would imagine borisjohnson will see what is your alternative, it is all well and good criticising from the sidelines but what is your plan to fix Social Care. And it� s a topsy turvy world. And its a topsy turvy world. It certainly is. Interesting to see conservative minister africans of the minister doing their best to try to sell a Tax Rise in the daily Telegraph Morning Headline no doubt sending shudders Down the spine of quite a few conservative supporters, the biggest Tax Burden in the uk since World War ii and i� m sure that will be brought up by minister� s questions again today so in some respects, quite difficult for labour to argue against a Tax Rise because they themselves would, we could tax to pay for Social Care and we� ll probably put up tax to pay for Social Care after the pandemic and more debt and more boring is what Rishi Sunak said but it� s about what Tax Rise might come from opposition parties but all of them are expected to vote against it today but it will go through fairly comfortably because we are not expecting many tory mps to rebel against it with largely being due to some of the things the government announced with the national Insurance Rise yesterday, the idea that people above the State Pension Age will pay National Insurance, they currently do not and there will be a Tax Rise on share dividends, Too. So those things along with the idea that there is a desperate need for extra money to go on the nhs top i� m there is a desperate need for extra money to go on the nhs top im going to enter because money to go on the nhs top im going to enter because the money to go on the nhs top im going to enter because the Speaker Money to go on the nhs top im going to enter because the speaker is i money to go on the nhs top im going to enter because the speaker isjust.

Rely on Food Banks to survive and it is wrong but in a statement released by the Trussell Trust showed that one in six people feel they will shortly have to use a Food Bank in four weeks� time as a result of the Government Decision to axe the £20 off a lift to Universal Credit.

This is the government that is not only dealing with that problem but understands that in order to deal with the problems of the Nhs Backlog you also have to fix Social Care.

And what we are doing is lifting the floor, lifting the guarantee up to £100,000 where nobody has to pay anything across the entire country, and what we still have to hear from the opposition is what they would do to fix the backlog in the nhs and fix Social Care after decades of inertia and inactivity. What would he do . His plan is to impose an unfair tax on working people. My plan is to ensure that those with the broadest shoulders pay their fair ensure that those with the broadest shoulders pay theirfair share. That is the difference. Shoulders pay their fair share.

People will still face huge bills, many homeowners will need to sell their homes. Hes not denying it when he could have done. And the Prime Minister has failed the only testy set for himself in Social Care, it was the manifesto, and its no good shaking your head. And who will pay for the cost of this failure . Working people. Under his plan a landlord renting out dozens of properties wont pay a penny more, but their tenants, in work, will face Tax Rises of hundreds of pounds per year. A Care Worker earning the minimum wage doesnt get a Pay Rise under this plan, but does get a Tax Rise. In what world is that fair . Actually the Institute For Fiscal Studies has confirmed that it is a broad based and progressive measure. The top 20 of households by income will pay a0 times what the poorest 20 will pay. The top a0 will pay half of the entire levy. He talks about his plan and actually turns out and ive been scouring the records for evidence of the Labour Party plan and i found it.

And he can say, he cant even say that he will do that. So there we having. Working will pay higher tax, those in need will still lose their homes to pay for care and he cant even say if the Nhs Backlog will be cleared. He gesticulate, but they are all breaking their Manifesto Promises and putting on taxes on working constituents for this . And Tax Rises are not the only way he is making working people worse off. 2. 5 million working families will face a double whammy, a National Insurance Tax Rise and £1000 per year Universal Credit card. They are getting hit from both sides cut in Universal Credit. Of all the way to raise public funds, why is the Prime Minister insisting on hammering working people . Irate why is the Prime Minister insisting on hammering working people . We are roud of on hammering working people . We are proud of what on hammering working people . We are proud of what we on hammering working people . We are proud of what we have on hammering working people . We are proud of what we have been on hammering working people . We are proud of what we have been doing proud of what we have been doing through the pandemic to work for working people and the extra £9 billion we put in through Universal Credit and i think the people in this house and across the country should know that labour wants to scrap Universal Credit altogether. We believe in Higher Wages better skills, and thats why we are investing in 13,500 work coaches, £300,000 a yearfor 11 Million adults across the country to train under the lifetime Skills Guarantee and it is working, because for the first time since 2019, after years and years of stagnation, you are seeing wages are rising.

Laugh away. A single mother, working on the minimum wage in a Nursing Home. She got in touch with me, and she will lose £87 per month due to the Universal Credit cut, a huge amount to her. She will now also be hit with a National Insurance Tax Rise. She has asked for more shifts, and she cant get them. She is unable to get further help with childcare. What does that laughter say to rosie . This is a government that underfunded the nhs for a decade, before the pandemic. Took £8 Billion out of Social Care before the pandemic. Then wasted billions of pounds of Taxpayers Money on dodgy contracts, vanity projects, and giveaways to their mates. They cut Stamp Duty on second home owners. Super tax deductions for the biggest companies, and now they are telling millions of working people that they must cough up more tax. Isnt this the same old tory party, always putting their rich mates and donors before working people . Very sadly what youre hearing is the same old nonsense from labour. What they want to do, they want to scrap a Universal Credit and i have every sympathy for rosie and i had my hair and every sympathy for rosie and i had my hairand families every sympathy for rosie and i had my hair and families up and Down the land of the best thing we can do that then is have a strong and dynamic economy. 0ur that then is have a strong and dynamic economy. Our economy is the fastest growing in the g7 because we have have the fastest Vaccine Roll out and the fastest opening up of any comparable country. Never forget if you would have kept us in the European Medicines agency, he attacked the vaccines task force, and if we had listened to captain prime site injuly we would not have the fastest growing economy in the g7, we would still be lockDown captain hindsight.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. Yesterday, without out. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Yesterday, without consultation, the Prime Minister announced plans to impose a regressive Tory Poll Tax and millions of scottish workers. The Joseph Rowntree and millions of scottish workers. TheJoseph Rowntree foundation estimates that around 2 Million families on low incomes will now pay an average of an extra £100 a year because of the Prime Ministers tax. Yet again, the tories are fleecing scottish families, hitting low and middle income workers and penalising the young. The tory work and pensions secretary, a former secretary, called it a sham. The former tory chancellor has said this is the poor subsidising the rich. A former tory Prime Minister has called this regressive. Isnt this the case that this tory Tax Hike is once again balancing the books on the backs of the poor and the young . The right honourable gentleman says there was no consultation, actually i much enjoyed my conversations with representatives of the scottish administration and one thing they said to me was they wanted more funding for the nhs. I am delighted that we are putting another 1. 1 Billion into the nhs in scotland, while they can talk about is another referendum. I think that is a clear distinction between us and the scottish national party about the real priorities of the people of this country. Ihla real priorities of the people of this country real priorities of the people of this country. No answer to the ruestion this country. No answer to the question because this country. No answer to the question because the this country. No answer to the question because the facts this country. No answer to thej question because the facts are this country. No answer to the question because the facts are this is a Tax Hike on the poor and the young and you should be ashamed of yourself, Prime Minister. Mr speaker, we now know the economic direction of this toxic tory government. We are going to see the Furlough Scheme scrapped, Universal Credit cut, white Tax Hikes for the low Paid. Lets us be in no doubt, this is the return of the tories� austerity agenda. It is posterity 2. 0. On this Prime Ministers watch, the united kingdom now has the worst levels of Poverty And Inequality anywhere in north west europe. And in Work Poverty has risen to record levels this century. More tory austerity cuts will make this even worse. Scotland deserves better. There is clearly no chance of the fair Disease Recovery under this Prime Minister and this government. Isnt it the case that the only way to protect scotland from tory cuts and be aggressive Tax Hikes is to become an independent country with the full power is needed to build a fair, strong and equal recovery by the people of scotland . I fair, strong and equal recovery by the people of scotland . The people of scotland . I donT Think that is the people of scotland . I donT Think that is the the people of scotland . I donT Think that is the right the people of scotland . I donT Think that is the right Priority L the people of scotland . I dont. Think that is the right priority for this country or the people of Scotland And Ijust remind him of the Deputy Leader of the scottish government, welcomed. When the Labour Government put up National Insurance by a penny to pay for national Health Service he said, i am absolutely delighted. This is john swinney. I am absolutely delighted that the chancellor of the exchequer is now accepted the progressive. Progressive. Progressive taxation is required in scotland. Get your story straight. This is more cash for people in scotland, more investment for families in scotland, good for scotland and the whole of the uk. The growing populations of Grantham And Stamford require a Long Term integrated health strategy. Can the Prime Minister confirm what action the government is taking to implement regular reviews of Health Care provision to meet future needs my constituency . Mr; Care Provision to meet future needs my constituency . My constituency . My honourable friend is quite my constituency . My honourable friend is quite right, my constituency . My honourable friend is quite right, hes my constituency . My honourable friend is quite right, hes a my constituency . My honourable friend is quite right, hes a great| friend is quite right, hes a great advocate for people in Grantham And Stamford and the Health And Care are will ensure that there are integrated Health Care partnerships, bringing together local authorities and local Health Care, but there is more to be done and that will be donein more to be done and that will be done in the forthcoming white paper. Yesterdays and social Care Plan forgot Family Carers. We are the millions wiping bottoms, washing and dressing our loved ones, whether elderly or disabled, ill or dying. We carersjust want elderly or disabled, ill or dying. We carers just want a fair deal. So will the Prime Minister raise the carer� s allowance . Will be guarantee proper breaks for carers . When he change Employment Law so we can balance caring with work . When he ensure there are enough professional carers to help, starting with a new visa for carers . We carers have a lifetime of ideas to improve our loved ones� care, so why does the Prime Minister keep ignoring us and taking carers for granted . I taking carers for granted . I think. I certainly and i think the whole house acknowledges the massive debt we owe to unPaid carers such as himself up and Down the country and we thank them for what they are doing. What this plan does is of course mean that they will be a huge injection of support, both from the private sector and the government come into caring across the board. I believe that is for unPaid carers, as well, since they will no longer have the anxiety of their elderly loved ones could see the loss of all their possessions. What we are also doing for carers is making sure that we invest now half £1 Billion in their training, their profession, to make sure they have the Dignity And Progression in thejobs make sure they have the Dignity And Progression in the jobs that they deserve.

We depend to a large extent on what the french are doing, but clearly as time goes on at this problem continues we are going to have to make sure that we use every possible tactic at our disposal to stop what i think is a vile Trade And Manipulation of people� s hopes.

Does my right honourable friend agree with me that our constituents, including mine in hertford and stortford, should come forward, see their gp if they have concerns about their gp if they have concerns about their health and that his Statement Yesterday should give them assurance, confidence, that this government is therefore the nhs and that the nhs will be there for them in their time that the nhs will be there for them in theirtime of that the nhs will be there for them in their time of need.

Saint Francis Tower in ipswich has been a beneficiary of the building safety front, but the managers of the building have put a Shrink Wrap on the entire tower which will be on there for up to 12 months, so many of those tenants who are desperate and will be living in darkness for 12 months, then they are putting bars on the window so they can barely open them.

After that there is going to be the start of a debate on health and Social Care. A little longer i� m sure. I want ask the ministerfor the a little longer i� m sure.

Our Vaccination Programme passport. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Our Vaccination Programme has passport. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Our Vaccination Programme has given passport. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Our Vaccination Programme has given this| Vaccination Programme has given this Nation Protection from this deadly virus. Data from public health england estimate two doses of a covid 19 vaccine offers protection of around 96 against hospitalisation, and the jabs have prevented over 100,000 deaths, over 1a3,000 hospitalisations and around 2a million infections. It is this protection that has allowed us to carefully ease restrictions over the past few months, however, we must do so in a way that is mindful of the benefits that both doses of the vaccine can bring. On the 19th of july, the Prime Minister announced that by the end of september, when everyone aged 18 and over will have had the chance to get fully vaccinated, the government plans to make full Vaccination Condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather. As a condition of entry to these venues, people will need to show that they are fully vaccinated and proof of a negative test will no longer be sufficient. We will be confirming more details about this in due course, Mr Speaker. This approach is designed to reduce transmission and serious illness. It is in line with the approach we have taken on international travel, where different rules apply depending on whether you have had both jabs. Mr speaker, i would like to by urging people to come forward to get the jab, 88 of people have had one jab and over 80 of people, 16 and over, have now had the protection of both doses. It is the best way to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community, so please come forward and join them and make our wall even stronger.

Can i first of all thank you for allowing me to ask this | you for allowing me to ask this urgent question . As big Brother Watch bring their campaign against vaccine passwords to westminster and it is timely, the introduction of Maxine Passport will have enormous practical implications for the literally thousands of visitors blaming businesses across the country that will need to gather data and it is on these expert that answers are most urgently required. Vaccine passports. The deadline for implantation of the scheme is nowjust for implantation of the scheme is now just three weeks away. For implantation of the scheme is nowjust three weeks away. We must not lose sight of the fact that a scheme of this sort opens the door to a major change in the relationship between the citizen and the state. Never before in peace time has government in this country controlled in this way where we can go with whom and what to do. And if the government has concluded this now has to change, then at the very least, this house must have a chance to make its voice heard and its feelings known. So when will we get the vote the minister promised us before the recess . The case for vaccine passports is riddled with inconsistencies. Nightclubs have been open now sincejuly and notwithstanding recent events in aberdeen, they have been relatively safe. If they are saved today for people to enjoy responsibly, if they are safe today, then what does they are safe today, then what does the government expected change between now and bm of the month . On monday, the minister told me at the Dispatch Box, we do know 60 of people that have had two jabs will not be infected with the Delta Variant and therefore cannot infect someone else, although a0 and will. A0 figure highlight one of the biggest dangers of the whole idea. It takes people into large social gatherings where they think they will be safe from infection but in fact are not. The minister will know that there will always be someone who cannot be vaccinated, so as entry to nightclubs or events is dependent on demonstrating vaccination, they will be excluded. So can the minister tell the house what assessment has the government made with regards to their duties on Equality Legislation . A study by the night time Business Association and 69 of their members viewed the introduction of Maxine Passport as having negative impact on business. 70 said they were not necessary for opening business. Why is the government not listening to the experts in the industry . When will nightclubs and other businesses be told how they will be expected to check the Vaccine Status of patrons, what legal authority will they have to do this and what consequences will there be for them if they do not . On the 12th ofjuly, the secretary of state for health told us that as we move away from regulations, there will no longer be a legal requirement for any establishment to have covid vaccine certification.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I am grateful for the honourable grateful for the honourable gentleman� ss and let me attempt to address them. I will begin byjust saying to a house that No One in this government, certainly not this Prime Minister, it is not in his dna to curtail people� s freedoms or require people to show a piece of paper before they enter a nightclub. The reason that we are moving forward on this is because if you look at what has happened in other countries where nightclubs were opening and shutting again continuously, we want to avoid that disruption and maintain sectors that can add to people� s enjoyment of Life And Dance as and they can do so sustainably. The reason for the end of september is because by the end of september is because by the end of september is because by the end of september, all 18 year olds and above will have had the chance to have two doses and it is quite right, when he quotes what i said to him at the Dispatch Box a few days ago, that for 60 of people who are double vaccinated, they will not be infected and therefore will not spread the infections, a0 may do and it is the view of our clinical experts that that additional relative safety of having to be double vaccinated before entering a nightclub does begin to mitigate against super spreader events, which could cause us to then effectively take a decision to close nightclubs, which we would not want to do. He asked about the disruption to businesses, well, as he will know, this is a tried and tested solution that has been extensively used throughout the government� s extensive Research Programme and requires venues to check or scan the Nhs Covid Pass in the same Way Nightclub bouncers check id before entry. He then asked about the equalities impact assessment. I can assure him that we conducted a full equalities impact assessment and consulted widely to understand the potential equalities impact of covid status certification. We spoke to different groups and the system allows both digital and non digital proof to help ensure access for all. So constituency do not have a smartphone, for example, can confirm that Vaccine Status by calling 119 and getting that via E Mail or via a written letter. It is not something, as i say, we do it lightly, but something to allow us to transition this virus from pandemic to endemic status. We are coming towards the winter months, when there will be upward pressure in terms of infections because of the return to school, because of winter and of course large gatherings of people in indoor venues like nightclubs, and that could add to that. The mitigation against that to allow us to transition this virus from Pandemic Status to endemic would be the booster programme, which we will hope be embarking upon later this month after the final recommendations from the jc vi. What a load of rubbish. I do not believe my honourable friend believes a word he just started, because i remember him very persuasively just attend, he said this measure would be discriminatory and yet he is sent to the Dispatch Box to defend the indefensible, a needless fight that we are prepared to have in this house over this issue, completely unnecessary. We all agree that people should be encouraged to take the vaccine, and i again encourage people to do so, but to go Down this route, as early discriminatory, will be utterly damaging to the fabric of society. Entirely discriminatory. I am entirely discriminatory. I am trateful entirely discriminatory. I am grateful that entirely discriminatory. I am grateful that he entirely discriminatory. I am grateful that he has entirely discriminatory. I am grateful that he has made entirely discriminatory. I n grateful that he has made his view to me very clear on many occasions, and it pains me to have to take a step like this, because we do not take it lightly, but the flip side of that is that if we don� t, and the virus does cause super spread events in nightclubs, and i had to stay at this Dispatch Box and announced to the house that we have to close that sector, that would be much more painful. Sector, that would be much more ainful. Sector, that would be much more ainful. ~ ,. , sector, that would be much more ainful. ~ , ~ sector, that would be much more ainful. , ~. ~ painful. Thank you, Mr Speaker, i thank the honourable painful. Thank you, Mr Speaker, i thank the honourable member. Painful. Thank you, Mr Speaker, i | thank the honourable member for thank the honourable memberfor Orkney And Shetland for bringing this important topic to the house. I want to also associate myself with the Remarks Today regarding vaccine uptake, it is incredibly important that people do take up that vaccine where possible. I reiterate that from this Dispatch Box from the opposition as well. We� re away from implementation but whilst ministers were relaxing over summer there was no clarity from government about these plans, and businesses remain anxious. Our priorities are clear, protect the nhs and our economy, we cannot faced with an unmanageable Winter Crisis for both. My First Question to the minister is really simple, what does the minister think this will achieve . How and when will the Uk Government decide which businesses must implement vaccine certification, and will they rely on low Paid staff at venues to act as public health officials, and what support will they be getting . The Nhs Covid Pass application that allows for Individuals in england to either input a negative Test Result or complete a vaccine record, this is important for those who cannot for legitimate medical reasons take the vaccine. Can the minister explain why the government plans to drop the negative Test Option . Will they improve and keep available the Nhs Covid Pass application will it be replaced or outsourced . Let me be clear, we cannot support any potential Covid Pass scheme for access to everyday services, so can the minister categorically assure me that No One will be required to have a Covid Pass to access essential services . Mr speaker, this document has didn� t and danced away the summer, they have not planned or prepared and they have not provided the reassurances are presented a clear path forward david. Uk business has had a hell of an 18 months during this difficult pandemic. They needed proactive support of government, and it is about time that ministers opposite worked towards this aim. I aM Worked towards this aim. I am trateful worked towards this aim. I am grateful for worked towards this aim. I am grateful for the worked towards this aim. I n grateful for the honourable ladys grateful for the honourable lady� s opening words and her urging those who have not had a vaccine to come forward and be protected. She asked a number of important questions relating to this, including what this will achieve. She will know that the ability for people to travel whilst being double vaccinated was something that was important, and the implementation of that was successful, largely successful, we need to go further to mitchell we recognise other vaccines from other countries Around The World, that will be recognised by the who and other regulators to make it even easier for people to make sure we recognise. The nhs stands ready to continue, both nhs england, scotland, wales, Northern Ireland, joint work as well as nhs eggs in terms of the technology, she asked about people� s access to essential settings nhs x. There are some essentials which will not require covid vaccination pass, the settings that have stayed open throughout the pandemic, public sector buildings, essential retail, essential services, public transport. She asks also about what this will achieve domestically. I think, also about what this will achieve domestically. Ithink, or also about what this will achieve domestically. I think, or hope combined with the Vaccination Programme, the booster programme, and all the work we have done around education, we will be able to transition this Virus Host Winter from pandemic to endemic, and the reason is to allow us to sustain the opening of the economy, including the nightclub sector, without having to flip flop because of super spreader events. Whether it be the chief medical officer, because of what i discussed earlier, if you double jab, only 60 not be affected, therefore not spread, a0 crude, but in relative terms putting Downward pressure on infection rates in that unit was the transition from pandemic the in that unit was the transition from andemi. In that unit was the transition from andemi. ~ , pandemic the Vaccine Minister Talkin pandemic the Vaccine Minister Talking about pandemic the Vaccine Minister Talking about Plans Pandemic the Vaccine Minister Talking about plans for pandemic the Vaccine Minister Talking about plans for the pandemic the Vaccine Minister Talking about plans for the vaccine passports and they clubs and other credit events. Whilst we were listening to that we were hearing about news from the initial postmortem examination results on geronimo the alpaca which shows no sign of a bovine tb which is what its owner said was the case through her fight to save him. He its owner said was the case through herfight to save him. He had twice tested positive for bovine tb, lived on a farm in south gloucestershire. She had said the results were flawed and she fought against his Destruction Forfour and she fought against his destruction for four years. He was removed from the farm last week and killed a short time later. Now we are getting the initial results which have shown no visible evidence of bovine tb, the result is not conclusive proof that he was bovine tb free because samples now have to be analysed in a lab to cfd bacteria can be cultured under a microscope and it normally takes 8 10 weeks or p and it normally takes 8 10 weeks or up to 22 weeks so that is obviously a significant development and we will try to speak to her later. The father of Britney Spears has petitioned a Los Angeles Court to end the pop singer� s 13 year conservatorship. James spears has had control over his daughters� finances since 2008, which means she has not been in charge of decisions concerning her life, career and assets. Our correspondent David Willis reports from Los Angeles and a warning it does contain some flashing images. You� re toxic, i� m slippin� under. It� s an arrangement she has branded toxic one that Britney Spears says has prevented herfrom getting married and having a baby. Now her father has finally agreed to relinquish the tight control he� s maintained over her multi million Dollar Fortune ever since she was hospitalised with Mental Health issues following several highly public breakDowns back in 2008. Having long maintained there was no justification for his removal from her conservatorship, jamie spears agreed under mounting pressure last month to step Down although he didn� t specify when. A petition from Britney Spears� lawyers to remove him was due to be heard later this month. But in papers filed on his behalf, jamie spears has now conceded that his daughter� s circumstances have changed to the extent that grounds for the establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist. As mr spears has said again and again, the petition goes on, all he wants is what is best for his daughter. If miss spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, mr spears believes that she should get that chance. For the free Britney Fans who� ve long maintained that the Conservatorship Amounts to jamie spears holding his Daughter Hostage it� s a major victory. The singer� s lawyer, mathew rosengart, called it a massive legal victory, as well as vindication for miss spears. But he said an investigation into allegations of financial mismanagement on the Part Ofjamie spears will go on. Ending the conservatorship will give Britney Spears unfettered control over her life, her finances and her Health Treatment for the first time in 13 years. First, though, it requires the approval of thejudge overseeing her case and the next Court Hearing is due to take place in three weeks� time. David willis, Bbc News, Los Angeles. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with Matt Taylor another hot and sunny day across the uk but changes taking place, some severe thunderstorms developing into the afternoon, risk of flooding. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in Northern Ireland and a few showers towards Orkney And Shetland but most of the country dry, fairly sunny across scotland, england and North East wales and ten to just 25 30. Overnight showers pushing north, that could give a disturbed Nights Sleep as could the fact that is going to be very humid, 12 18, maybe 20 for some as we start tomorrow morning. Much cloudier tomorrow, greater chance of thunderstorms, a few through wales through the day, but some are staying dry, even though not as hot still quite humid and through the weekend the shower numbers start to fade and it will feel fresher.
