Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or around the world. Boats carrying migrants across the English Channel from france could be turned back at sea, in new tactics authorised by the Uk Home secretary, Priti Patel. The move is set to be opposed by the french authorities, who describe the technique as dangerous, foolish, and a breach of maritime law. So far, more than 12,600 migrants have made thejourney from calais to the uk. 1,500 migrants have crossed the English Channel so far this week. It comes as a deal was struck injuly for the uk to pay france £54 million to tackle crossings. This report from simonjones. More than 1,500 migrants have reached the uk by boat this week alone. Britain says the numbers are unacceptable france, unsatisfactory. A meeting between the Home Secretary and her french counterpart, gerald darmanin, yesterday was described as constructive, but failed to agree new measures to prevent the crossings. Now Priti Patel plans to use so called Pushback Tactics to force boats back into french waters in limited circumstances, and only when its considered safe to do so. Its a technique thats controversially being used by the australian authorities, who towed migrant boats back to indonesia, saying it helped restore the integrity of their borders. Critics claim its damaged the countrys reputation. The British Government says it needs to use every possible tactic at its disposal to tackle the vile trade in People Smuggling, and Border Force Staff are already being trained. The french government believes the technique is dangerous and against international maritime law. The Home Office, though, has taken legal advice suggesting otherwise but its likely to strain the already tense relations between britain and france further. Simon jones, Bbc News. 0ur political Correspondent Peter Saull is in westminster. How might this work . Can it work . Well, i suppose it is a good look for the Home Secretary to be seen to be talking tough on this. The line that we are getting is that she will have to give her personal approval for this to happen. It is certainly getting a lot of Pick Up in conservative supporting newspapers. Tory mps have regular raise this as an issue that is a big concern to their constituents. But the question is, how often is this going to be used, if at all . The government is confident of the legality of it, we are told, but there are still some logistical issues still to be sorted out. They say it will only be used in a very narrow and specific set of circumstances. So you would imagine those Border Force officials, who we understand have been trying for this in recent months, will have quite the checklist before they get on the water and think about using this tactic. How big is the boat they might have to push back, how many people are on it, are there Safety Concerns . It is also understood Border Force chiefs have raised those potential Safety Concerns and they want the Home Secretary to give her personal approval. So it may well be that actually, she has to be on The End of the phone responding to a Phone Call from Border Force commanders in orderfor to a Phone Call from Border Force commanders in order for this tactic to be used. And the other big question, i guess, to be used. And the other big question, iguess, is to be used. And the other big question, i guess, is the fact that they need to get the french authorities to cooperate, too. And as yet, we are told they are not entirely happy with it. As yet, we are told they are not entirely happy with it. Thank you very much lets speak to nick thomas symonds, shadow british Home Secretary. Do you back this move . Good morning. No, i do not support this move. I think it is an extraordinarily dangerous thing to be moving and it is an indication, frankly, of the Home Secretarys own failure. I was in dover last friday, i saw the work being done by front Line Law Enforcement and refugee charities, by the royal national lifeboat institute. They are people who have stepped up when required. 0ut there in dangerous condition saving lives at sea. The Home Secretary has failed on this issue and i am afraid this dangerous proposal is an indication of that failure. 15 indication of that failure.

Awful craft, frankly, no proper navigation, no propersafety. 0ne navigation, no propersafety. One person risking their lives in the most dangerous Sea Crossing, the busiest Sea Crossing in the world is one too many. What the Home Secretary should actually do, in my view, is this. Firstly, we need an effective deal with the french authorities. The Home Secretary seems to be pouring money into it, then deciding she doesnt want to. She talks a great deal about what is happening on the french coast and of course that is important, but you also need to focus on what is happening away from the coast, because i am afraid these vile People Smuggling gangs adjust their Business Model so activity is taking place like for example the sourcing of the boats in the first place away from the shore.

Firstly, that effective deal with firstly, that effective deal with the french authorities that isnt just about the coast, important though that is, aboutjoint working with tackling the People Smuggling model further away from the coast as well. Secondly, safe and legal roots. The government made a huge mistake in closing down the Dub Scheme to help unaccompanied children, it was supposed to help 3,000, they closed it after 480. Thirdly, this government made a big mistake abolishing the department to department develop and come of The One department focused on why people become refugees in the first place, that should be reinstated. The Department For International Development. The Department For International Development mps in the uk have approved the governments plan to increase national insurance contributions to fund health and social care in england. The proposal passed comfortably, with a majority of 71 votes. Borisjohnson says it will raise £12 billion a year. Labour voted against the plan and says working people will be hit hardest. The Uk Government is starting a six Week Consultation on whether it should be compulsory for Nhs Staff in england to be vaccinated against Covid 19. Under the plans, Frontline Workers and care Home Staff would also need to get flu jabs. Some unions are warning it will lead to a Staff Shortage, but the Uk Health secretary, Sajid Javid, says getting both jabs protects vulnerable patients. The uks social Care Minister Helen whately told Bbc Breakfast that Care Homes Workers should be double vaccinated. So, we have a policy that weve already legislated for. That is to require those working in Care Homes, and on the premises, to be doubly vaccinated. And thats because weve seen through the pandemic that those in Care Homes are the most vulnerable to covid, the most at risk of dying from this disease. And, yes, a vast, vast majority of residents in Care Homes had of residents in Care Homes have been doubly vaccinated, but we know that though the vaccine is very effective, its not perfect, there is still a risk of getting covid, particularly for those most vulnerable residents. And so, what were doing, i think, has to be the right thing, which is to give those residents the maximum protection and that means staff looking after those vulnerable people should be vaccinated. Weve had the latest figures on the Nhs Backlog caused by the pandemic. Published 45 minutes ago. Programme eco is here. Published 45 minutes ago. Programme eco is here many published 45 minutes ago. Programme eco is here. Many people published 45 minutes ago. Programme eco is here. Many people working published 45 minutes ago. Programme eco is here. Many people working in i eco is here. Many people working in the nhs say they are seeing the type of pressure they would see normally in the winter but over the summer months. To give you an idea of what is happening on the ground, we can look at ambulance waiting times. The average waiting time for category one, life saving emergencies, was 8. 5 minutes in august, down the month before. And the target is 18 minutes. And if you look to non urgent call outs, they were seeing just under two hour and 40 minute weights on average and some are waiting Up To six hours. That is just one sign of the demand on the system. It is because notjust from covid, there has been a Demand And Need for urgent Care And Attendance to A E. We have also been hearing a lot about Waiting List for non urgent operations. Hit Hip And Knee operations and cataract, etc, that has gone Up To 5. 6 million people in england waiting on those Waiting Lists, that is up from 5. 5 Million the previous month. Again, another record high. Nearly 1. 8 Million people are waiting longer than 18 weeks. That is up in the previous month. And more than 290,000 are waiting more than a year. That is actually down a bit. It is below the 300,000 from the previous month. And it is actually a first time it has fallen below 300,000 since december. So it shows there has been some progress, efforts to try to tackle those Waiting Lists, they have fallen a bit for those waiting more than 52 weeks, but it has gone up a bit for those waiting 80 weeks. But there is this concern about missing 8 Million patients who havent yet come forward for treatment during the pandemic. There is concern if they start to come forward for treatment, that could push up Waiting Lists to may be 13 Million. And the Prime Minister has this week said that Waiting Lists could actually get worse before they get better. And we have heard a lot this week about funding for the nhs going forward for the next six months and for the next six months, it has been given 5. 4 billion extra to tackle the Waiting Lists and deal with covid. Longerterm the Waiting Lists and deal with covid. Longer term over the next three years, there is this talk of the health and social Care Levy to raise £36 billion over the next three years and most of that going to the nhs to tackle this huge problem.

Louise mcallan from essex has terminal cancer and had her chemotherapy stopped because of the pandemic. When he told me that i wouldnt be receiving chemotherapy, yes, it was just devastating, really. I think my whole world just fell out. I just said to him at the time, yourejust leaving me. You know, Ijust Felt so abandoned. Leaving me. You know, i ust felt so abandoned. Leaving me.

You were told, i think at this point, that your cancer, your i this point, that your cancer, your Lung Cancer was stage iv, is that correct . Yes, it was. Which for anyone who doesnt understand the significance of that, there isnt a stage five, it means it isnt curable, but treatment can prolong your life. But explain why you were told you couldnt have chemotherapy. He said that i was at risk of getting covid. But then, you know, you cant predict an outcome of a disease. Because i was isolating as well, so i wasnt at risk of catching covid. The chemotherapy would have been tablet form, so i would have been tablet form, so i would have been on that for the rest of my life. So it wasnt as if i would be constantly going to the hospital. Yes, it would be necessary to go to hospital to have regular blood checks, possibly once a month, which i am having at the moment, but it wouldnt mean as with iv chemotherapy, you would need to go to hospital more regularly. So it would be managed more at home. So you have given us a little bit of an insight into how you felt when you are told that your treatment was going to be stopped, paused because of the pandemic, but tells more about how that affected you. I was absolutely devastated. About how that affected you. I was absolutely devastated. I about how that affected you. I absolutely devastated. I couldnt even think.

Caroline says, i noticed a lump in my throatjust as the pandemic hit, four months later, i saw my gp and was immediately given blood tests, an Mri Scan and booked him for an operation to have it removed. I was called within two weeks as there had been so many cancellations because of people not wanting to go to hospital during the pandemic. If this didnt happen and my lump was cancerous, i would have been another death related to the pandemic. And this from jim who says, i certainly Cannot Fault The Nhs in fife, i was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer Injanuary nhs in fife, i was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in January 2021 nhs in fife, i was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer Injanuary 2021 and within weeks, the Health Board commenced their task of scanning the prostate, Body Scan to see if it had spread to other parts of my body.

The headlines on Bbc News new tactics to deal with people crossing the English Channel in boats. The uk Border Force is told that it can order boats to turn back to france. The number of people in england waiting to start routine Nhs Treatment rises to a new record high. The government looks at whether it should be compulsory for Frontline Health Service staff in england to be vaccinated against Covid 19. The australian state of New South Wales has announced plans to relax covid restrictions by mid 0ctober, meaning sydneys cafes, restaurants and pubs will be able to re open despite the city currently seeing near record levels of coronavirus infections. Authorities say the state should have 70 of its population double vaccinated by the second half of october, meaning the stay at Home Order can be lifted for the fully vaccinated. The announcement was made by the New South Wales State Premier a little earlier. Shaima khalil has the details. Its obviously welcome news for sydneysiders and for the whole of New South Wales. I think the most significant thing to come out of the Press Conference of the New South Wales premier today, and she stands there every single day with those grim numbers of the cases rising in sydney and the rest of the state. Today, what she said was that people have to get used to living with the virus. This is a huge change of tack, notjust for New South Wales, but for the whole of australia. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the country has opted for an elimination strategy that is aiming for zero Covid 19 cases and this is through closed borders, heavy lockdowns when there are outbreaks and, of course, hotel quarantine. Then came the Delta Variant, and it changed everything. When that outbreak started in Mid June and the city went into lockdown, it proved extremely difficult to head for Covid 19 cases. The lockdowns kept getting extended, and weve just seen those cases rise every single day because of how infectious the Delta Variant is. And now, what were seeing is a change of direction. Instead of going for elimination, theyre going for vaccination. 70 Double Dose is that Magic Number that sydneysiders have to go for. Were now Up To 43 . And the projection is its going to be reached by mid 0ctober, and then those freedoms. So bars, restaurants, shops, schools will open, churches places of worship, that is. Big gatherings outside, Up To 20 people. People having visitors at home of Up To five people. All, of course, conditioned on the vaccination numbers. Now, remember, all of this is on the day where the state has recorded about more than 1,400 cases, more than 150 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. For australia, these are huge numbers. Restrictions on travel to and from the uk could ease later this month under plans to simplify the current � traffic light� system. The green and amber lists could be scrapped meaning double vaccinated Holiday Makers could travel to countries with similar levels of vaccination as the uk, without the need to quarantine. Those arriving in the uk from high risk destinations would still be required to isolate for ten days in a hotel. Aru na iyengar reports. If this is your idea of a dream holiday. Rather than this, things may be about to change. Travel bosses say Uk Holiday makers have been put off flying abroad because of uncertainty about sudden changes to the travel Traffic Light System, and the need for expensive Pcr Tests before arriving in the uk. At the moment, were in this bizarre position where the uk has the highest Infection Rates of any major european nation, and it also has the highest Barriers To Entry for people coming in. The government devised the travel Traffic Light System to limit transmission of Covid 19 from overseas, and protect against new variants. But now Business Leaders are demanding changes, saying the uk is out of step with the more liberal approach in the eu and us, where vaccinated travellers can fly with much more freedom. People clearly have the confidence in the rest of europe they are roaring ahead of us. Their industry has had more support and less barrier to trade, and so will be in a much fitter state, come when the pandemic is over, to compete. Even if the green and amber categories are removed, the Red List of countries which the government says are too high risk to visit is set to remain. Returning from a red country will still mean isolating for ten days in a government approved hotel. That means many countries are still off limits including parts of latin america, africa, egypt, and turkey. The Travel Industry wants change as soon as possible. It believes a relaxation in rules will lead to a booking surge, and protect the jobs of workers currently on furlough. That finishes at The End of this month, and coincides with these changes, which are expected to be announced as part of the Governments Review of international travel due by the 1st of october. Aruna iyengar, Bbc News. The former afghan president Ashraf Ghani has apologised to the people of afghanistan, after fleeing to take refuge in the united arab emirates. In a statement on twitter, he said, Leaving Kabul was the most difficult decision of my life, adding that he was sorry he could not make it end differently. In kabul, more demonstrations have been reported on the streets of the capital and other cities, despite a warning from the taliban that no protests should take place in afghanistan without their permission. 0ur Correspondent Danjohnson, whos in delhi, has been following developments. It does look like people, to some degree, are defying this Protest Ban that was put in last night. The taliban Interior Minister saying that any protests would need official permission, that that would need to be requested 24 hours in advance. So, a de facto ban. He said some people had been taking to the streets with the Instigation And Financing of malicious parties, under the cover of demonstrations, but causing breaches of security, harming citizens and creating chaos. And we saw some violent scenes yesterday, with protesters being held back, being beaten, being lashed. There were journalists who were detained, their cameras and the footage that theyd taken was examined. So weve seen the taliban increasingly struggling to contain crowds, to control protests. And it looks like even though theyve tried to enforce a ban now on gatherings in public places that people, at least to some degree, are trying to defy that. And well have to see what sort of response that brings now from the taliban. The fear will be that therell be even more violence in reaction. More victims of a Breast Implant Scandal will see a french Court Rule in the case of alleged negligence. A Court Ruling is expected today after a company was allowed to use industrial Grade Silicone in its implants. The German Firm Tuv rheinland awarded a Safety Certificate to a french company using the implants, which were faulty. Earlier this year, thousands of women affected, including more than 500 british women, were told they would receive compensation after a decade long legal battle. Many are still waiting for legal decisions on their cases. With me now is catherine mcgarrell, a lawyer representing women in the Breast Implant Scandal.

The Dup Leader Sirjeffrey donaldson has signalled that his party leave the Power Sharing Arrangement in the the northern Ireland Assembly and trigger an election within weeks if their demands over changes to post Brexit Trading arrangements are not met. He said that his party was seeking to challenge the legality of checks on great britain to Ni Trade that were introduced after the uk left the eu. 0ur Ireland Correspondent Chris Pagejoins me now.

Yes, that is right to commit unionists strongly oppose this part| unionists strongly oppose this part of the Brexit Deal known as the northern Ireland Protocol which in effect has resulted in what unionists see as an economic border within the uk. There are checks on goods arriving here from england, scotland and wales because Northern Ireland are in effect remains under eu law, following some European Union rules. That was the result of a deal between london and brussels to basically avoid the need for checks on the Land Border with the irish republic. But unionists have been pointing to the fact that it is unbalanced in their view, the peace process, the very fragile political relationships between all sides in Northern Ireland, which is the basis of the Power Sharing institutions of government. And now in a speech here in belfast in the last hour, the leader of the dup, the biggest party in the northern Ireland Assembly, Sirjeffrey Donaldson, has called into question the future of those institutions. He has said that unless action is taken on the protocol within weeks and unless his partys concerns about the protocol are addressed, well, in his words, there could be a need to refresh the partys mandate. That would mean them leaving the Power Sharing institutions, triggering an early election in the Stormont Assembly, an election is due next may anyway. Sirjeffrey donaldson also immediately will pull out dup ministers from the regular meetings with their counterparts in dublin which are held under the terms of the good Friday Peace agreement, which is the Key Agreement in the peace process. That might not have an immediate practical effect, but it is signalled the dup are toughening their stance on the protocol and it is going to affect the way politics here operates quite profoundly.

The last time the institutions collapsed, sinn fein, the main ship Power Sharing partners of the dup, walked out and after the election, it took three years for a new deal to be negotiated between the parties and the stormont comeback. It is not anything any party would do likely. As regards the dup, a recent poll has suggested the dup is falling significantly behind sinn fein, on course to become the largest party. But two other unionist parties, according to the poll, are out pulling the dup. The Ulster Unionist Party which is taking a more moderate stance on the protocol and another party called the Traditional Unionist Voice which is taking a more hardline position. So to stand that decline, Sojeffrey Donaldson has to steer a Middle Path and try to appeal to those moderates who would not like the thought of the devolved institutions falling and also try to win back some more hardline voters who do want to see firm action being taken on the protocol. So it is a tough path he has to tread, to put it mildly. The headlines on Bbc News. Uk Border Force is told it can order boats to turn back to france.

Boats carrying migrants across the channel from france could be turned back at sea, in new tactics authorised by the Home Secretary, Priti Patel. The move is set to be opposed by the french authorities, who describe the technique as dangerous, and a breach of maritime law. Lets talk now to steve Valdez Symonds who is the Refugee And Migrant Rights Programme Director at amnesty international uk. What do you think of the idea . I am sorry to say that that lesson that the french authorities have given to the french authorities have given to the Home Secretary is entirely right. What she has proposed is dangerous, impractical, and contrary to this countrys legal obligations, both to save lives and share in responsibility for receiving and giving asylum to people fleeing persecution, something of which france does far more than this country, and of which we need to do more of, not past more responsibility, or dry to come back to the french.

No, these journeys are not illegal. As she knows also, if she looks at her own statistics, the majority of people making these crossings when admitted into our Asylum System establish their claims because they are indeed fleeing conflict and persecution, we have responsibilities to them. What should she do in your view immediately . She should be talking to the french authorities about how to share responsibility in a way that avoids people having to rely on dangerous journeys. She should be saying to the french, let as identify the people who have connections to this country, let us identify people who have family in this country, let as work out how this country can receive a reasonable proportion of people from france into its Asylum System here by a safe, organised roots, that takes smugglers completely out of business.

The bbc has learnt that theres been a significant increase in reports of Health Incidents affecting us spies and diplomats in recent months. 0riginally known as Havana Syndrome due to where it was first recognised, officials say the condition has now spread beyond cuba to every continent. The symptoms include hearing strange sounds and a feeling of heat or pressure. Heres our security correspondent, gordon corera. Cheering and whistling in 2015, the us reopened its embassy in cuba, as relations between the countries were restored, but then something happened. Diplomats and spies began to hear sounds and fall ill with a mysterious illness that people struggled to explain what became known as Havana Syndrome. The Trump Administration announced friday that it is pulling more than half of its staff out of the american embassy in havana. But it wasntjust havana. On a Trip To Moscow A year later, senior Cia Officer Marc polymeropolous says he suffered similar symptoms. It is real, we have to get our People Health Care and then we have to find out whos doing this because, as i have always contended, this is an act of war against us officials. Her flight was delayed for several hours because at least one us diplomat had to be medevaced. I but some have questioned whether the syndrome is real, suggesting that the stress caused whats called a psychogenic illness of the mind, which is now spreading. When you see mass psychogenic illnesses, theres usually some stressful situation, an underlying situation. And of course, in the case of cuba and the embassy employees, particularly the cia agents, they certainly were in a stressful situation. In the last year, new evidence has emerged. That Led A Panel of scientists, sponsored by the state department, to conclude that pulsed microwaves were most likely responsible in at least some of the cases. For many of these people, real injury, Real Neurologic Injury took place. It took place through a mechanism that we cannot precisely pinpoint, but we think could be linked to this relatively unusual mechanism that really has not received a whole lot of Study Pulse Microwave energy. Definitive evidence of what started in cuba remains elusive. Some link it to electronic surveillance. Others, a weapon. But with cases now emerging in every continent, the biden administration has made solving this mystery a national security priority. Gordon corera, Bbc News. Facebook is being accused of sexism in the way it displays recruitment adverts to its users. An investigation conducted by the Campaign Group, Global Witness. Our Technology Correspondent Rory cellan jones joins us now. They made two advertisements that were discriminatory, one that was targeted at men, another one targeted at men, another one targeted at men, another one targeted at people under 55, to see if facebook would accept those ads, they did. The rules have changed in america and canada, but have not yet changed more widely. That is one example. More interesting, they took some existing job vacancies, Nursery Nurse, mechanic, pilots, and offered them to facebook as advertisements, not specifying any audience, just adults in the uk. Then they monitored how they were seen. The Nursery Nurse advertisement was seen at 96 by women, the mechanic, 95, 90 6 by men. Slightly lowerfigures for the pilot and psychologist. Pilots, three quarters mail, psychologists, three quarters female. The Campaign Group says they have reported this to the equalities and human rights commission, they think there is a breach of the law here. The fact that so many of the Nursery Nurse advertisements were going towards women is to do with facebook� s algorithms . Yes, what the system is doing, and Facebook Kind of admits this, it is trying to optimise for people actually clicking on the ads, serving the advertisements to people that they think are likely to want those jobs, are likely to click and open those ads. But,. I put it to the campaign, in the past, Nursery Nurse ads may have in placed in womens magazines, but she pointed out to me that men could still buy those magazines and look for those jobs if they wanted to, where as this is happening, kind of visibly. From the Point Of View of advertisers, what they are trying to do, is get their ads are seen by people who want them. I suppose they would say, what is the point of might Nursery Nurse ads being seen by an elderly man in West London who is never going to apply. What we are seeing is the entire mechanism of online Advertising Building in those existing biases. Facebook say, in particular the charge about being sexist, what do they say . To the first element of having accepted targeted ads that were discriminatory, they say they are changing that policy, they will bring in the same policy as in the United States and canada to other countries. 0n the other one, they will only say they are looking at this. I think that they are indicating is that this is a huge problem for the entire online industry. The entire promise of online advertising is you get targeted advertising, you get ads seen by the people who are most likely to want to see them. But that reflects societys biases. Guantanamo bay that is still open. Inside the camp are the five men accused of involvement in the 9 11 attacks. Now twenty years on, they made their 42nd Appearance in court. 0ur North America Correspondent Aleem Maqbool was there. We have not been allowed near the Detention Facilities. Many of these original camps have been long abandoned. 39 prisoners remain. Some were cleared for release as far back as 2010 and are still waiting to leave. 0thers as 2010 and are still waiting to leave. Others have been designated forever prisoners because of the threat they are thought to pose. Ten have been charged and are set to face military trials. They include five men accused of involvement in the 9 11 attacks. For the first time in more than 18 months those five men were in a courtroom together. We could not film it but we were in the galleryjust behind the glass when these men appeared for their Pre Trial. Including at the front, that man with the ginger beard, the man who it is believed conceived of the idea of the 9 11 attacks and took that idea to 0sama bin laden. The proceedings themselves were extremely slow. 0ne the proceedings themselves were extremely slow. One of the main obstacles in terms of arguments going forward is what evidence is admissible, and what cannot be admitted because of torture. It is one of the reasons why the Family Members of victims of 9 11, some of whom were here in the gallery observing events, are unlikely to get a resolution in this case soon. People often asked is there an end in sight . For a long time there was not even a middle in sight. Now we are in the middle of the case. Wrestling with the question of what Effect Torture has on the possibility of statements is the heart of the case. Mistakes of the past are therefore having a bearing on the search for justice now over 9 11. With no trial dates having been set the Detention Centre here looks no closer to shutting down.

The worlds biggest industrial complex to extract Carbon Dioxide from the air has opened in iceland. Considered by some to be an important tool in the fight against Climate Change. This is the first plant ever in commercial operations for Air Capture and storage that start serving customers today. A futuristic vision of how to save the planet from runaway Climate Change . Or a futile expense that distracts from the urgency of Slashing Co2 Emissions . In 2017, we celebrated a pioneering moment. In a promotional video, a swiss Start Up announce the opening of the largest direct Air Capture and Storage Plant in existence. In a partnership with an icelandic company. Powered by geothermal energy, the plant consist of four units made up of two metal boxes. These suck Carbon Doixide directly from the air and sends the product deep underground. Where it gradually turns into rock. Storing Carbon Underground can be done at a massive scale and it is really reliable to store that Carbon Underground, two, four km, where it can stay for millions of years and be safely monitored so we know exactly where it is. Direct Air Capture is one of the few technologies extracting Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere. Its supporters say its vital to limit global for causing more heatwaves, floods and wildfires. Sceptics point out the Climate Crisis is worsening because of the burning of fossil fuels, these need to be cut. Last year, emissions totalled 35 point billion tonnes, this plant will remove just 4000 tonnes of that in a year. Thats the equivalent ofjust 800 cars. Its so far been a completely failed technology, and there are much better out there. This is a kind of very, very high end solution. Direct Air Capture is at the Cutting Edge of climate technology, but due to their cost, there are only 15 such plants worldwide. Unless scaled up at speed, these wont take away from what scientists say is the imperative of keeping 80 of of Carbon Reserves in the ground. Emma raducanu has reached the semifinals of the Us Open.

And before we go, we have some wild news for you Animal Control in maryland is on the lookout for three zebras that escaped from this private farm. The trio made a run for it late last week and have been on the loose ever since. Now its time for a look at the weather. We have lost the clear blue sky, the sunshine, the heat. It was the warmest September Night on record, 28. 8 celsius recorded on wednesday, the hottest September Day in scotland for 115 years. Temperatures are falling away, not too drastically today, but from 30 to 23 celsius, a noticeable difference. Still quite a humid feel across the country. That will trigger sharp and thundery downpours. Some of these showers could be slow moving, there may be Flash Flooding in places. It does look likely that showers more widespread out west and sheltered Eastern Areas will hold onto sunshine and fewer if any. 25, 26 celsius not out of the question here. Thursday into friday, some showers across England And Wales starts to fade away but they will continue into parts of scotland and northern england. It could turn misty and murky in places, a relatively mild night. Friday morning temperatures in the mid teens. Low temperature in the far north of the country, plenty of showers spiralling around that. Sheltered Eastern Areas will see fewer showers, but we cannot rule out that one or two of them will drift further inland. They could be heavy and thundery as well. Temperatures will peak at 24 celsius. Just above where they should be for this time of year. As we go into the weekend it looks likely there will be fewer showers, still the potential for some rain, particularly for the northern isles, some cloud, hopefully that cloud breaking up into Eastern Areas, fewer showers, temperatures into the low 20s. As we move out of saturday into sunday, High Pressure quietening things down further still but the position of the high is altering Wind Direction. Coming in from a north westerly, that means a slightly fresher feel yet again. A good deal of dry weather for sunday, butjust that little bit cooler. Have a lovely day. This is Bbc News.

Facebook is accused of sexism in the way it displays recruitment adverts to its users, with men allegedly being shown Mechanic Ads and women targeted with Nursery Nurse posts. Good morning. Boats carrying migrants across the English Channel from france could be turned back at sea, in new tactics authorised by the Uk Home secretary Priti Patel. The move is set to be opposed by the french authorities, who describe the technique as dangerous, foolish, and a breach of maritime law. So far, more than 12,600 migrants have made thejourney from france to the uk. 1,500 migrants have crossed the English Channel so far this week. It comes as a deal was struck injuly for uk to pay france £54. 2 Million to tackle crossings. Priti patel has threatened to withhold the money, due to the number of crossings taking place. Simonjones reports. More than 1,500 migrants have reached the uk by boat this week alone. Britain says the numbers are unacceptable france, unsatisfactory. A meeting between the Home Secretary and her french counterpart, gerald darmanin, yesterday was described as constructive, but failed to agree new measures to prevent the crossings. Now Priti Patel plans to use so called push back tactics to force boats back into french waters in limited circumstances, and only when its considered safe to do so. Its a technique thats controversially being used by the australian authorities, who towed migrant boats back to indonesia, saying it helped restore the integrity of their borders. Critics claim its damaged the countrys reputation. The British Government says it needs to use every possible tactic at its disposal to tackle the vile trade in People Smuggling, and Border Force Staff are already being trained. The french government believes the technique is dangerous and against international maritime law. The Home Office, though, has taken legal advice suggesting otherwise but its likely to strain the already tense relations between britain and france further. Simon jones, Bbc News. 0ur Correspondent in calais, nick beake, said the Uk Governments plans have received a less than warm welcome from their french counterparts. These are all questions we dont know the answers to, but certainly in broad terms the french think this is an inhumane way of dealing with the problem, to use the language of their Interior Minister, who met Priti Patel yesterday. And, from their perspective, they say they have already kept their side of the bargain, as it were, and they claim that in the course of this year they have intercepted about half of the small boats that have set off from these shores. That means around 10,000 people have been intercepted and returned to french soil. And the idea that maybe in the coming weeks and months that the Uk Government would withhold some of the £54 million pledged to double patrols here in france, they think that is completely unfair and they said this agreement was never based on a performance related clause, the Money Wouldnt be given dependent on results, so the french i think are pretty unhappy about this. But, you know, its worth pointing out, as youve been saying, this is something which has emerged in the newspapers rather than a big announcement made with great fanfare from the British Government. Mps in the uk have approved the governments plan to increase national insurance contributions to fund health and social care in england. The proposal passed comfortably with a majority of 71 votes. Borisjohnson says it will raise £12 billion a year. Labour voted against the plan and says working people will be hit hardest. The government is starting a six Week Consultation on whether it should be compulsory for Nhs Staff in england to be vaccinated against Covid 19. Under the plans, Front Line workers and care Home Staff would also need to get flu jabs. Some unions are warning it will lead to a Staff Shortage but the Health Secretary Sajid Javid says getting both jabs protects vulnerable patients. These comments have been echoed by the social Care Minister Helen whatley. So, we have a policy that weve already legislated for. That is to require those working in Care Homes, and on the premises, to be doubly vaccinated. And thats because weve seen through the pandemic that those in Care Homes are the most vulnerable to covid, the most at risk of dying from this disease. And, yes, a vast, vast majority of residents in Care Homes have been doubly vaccinated, but we know that though the vaccine is very effective, its not perfect, there is still a risk of getting covid, particularly for those most vulnerable residents. And so, what were doing, i think, has to be the right thing, which is to give those residents the maximum protection and that means staff looking after those vulnerable people should be vaccinated. Weve had the latest figures on the Nhs Backlog caused by the pandemic. A record high 5. 6 million patients were waiting for routine operations in england injuly. 293,000 have been waiting more than a year, which is down on the previous month but still far higher than Pre Pandemic levels of under 2,000. 7,980 patients waiting more than two years for routine operations and treatment. Were joined now by Saffron Cordery, deputy chief executive of nhs providers, which represents hospitals and other nhs trusts in england. Thank you so much forjoining us. Well, they are relatively stable but still record high levels. What is your reaction to that . Still record high levels. What is your reaction to that . Yes, i mean, as we are your reaction to that . Yes, i mean, as we are seeing, your reaction to that . Yes, i mean, as we are seeing, the your reaction to that . Yes, i mean, as we are seeing, the 5. 6 your reaction to that . Yes, i mean, as we are seeing, the 5. 6 million, i as we are seeing, the 5. 6 million, the highest ever Waiting List that weve seen, and i think that demonstrates the real operational pressure that the Front Line nhs is under and i think within that the figures that look at those who have been waiting for longer than 52 weeks, so longer than a year, is at nearly 300,000, and that has just increased exponentially over the period of the pandemic. And it demonstrates the significant impact of this seismic event, which is the pandemic, which built on an nhs that was striving to get through as many procedures and operations as possible, but was really struggling Pre Pandemic as well. So i think what weve got is this scenario where we need to be able to focus now as heavily as possible on getting through that backlog of care, but thats made it incredibly difficult when weve got rising numbers of Covid Patients coming through the front door. 50 numbers of Covid Patients coming through the front door. Numbers of Covid Patients coming through the front door. So what is beine through the front door. So what is being done through the front door. So what is being done to through the front door. So what is being done to work through the front door. So what is being done to work through i through the front door. So what is being done to work through that l being done to work through that backlog . 0ur Hospitals and health centres now operating at full capacity . Centres now operating at full Ca Aci . ~ ,. , centres now operating at full caaci . ~ ,~. , capacity . Well, they are operating at covid full capacity . Well, they are operating at covid full capacity, capacity . Well, they are operating at covid full capacity, rather i capacity . Well, they are operating at covid full capacity, rather than l at covid full capacity, rather than Pre Pandemic full capacity. There are huge constraints on the number of procedures and also, you know, the processes of Infection Protection and control, the levels of staffing needed in covid, the need for social distancing, it does pull back on the number of procedures that can be carried out. And its also worth remembering, and i think this is an important context to have in mind, we have Covid Patients in hospital, we cant get through other procedures. 50 if someone is in hospital with covid, a typical length of stay might be two or three weeks. If they are on a bed, we could have treated between nine and ten Cancer Patients in that time. So that gives us some idea of what it means to be dealing with covid and the backlog. But trust are working incredibly hard. They are doing innovative things, things like super saturdays, where hospitals are doing many, many of the same procedures all at the same time when their Operating Theatres are clear for them to do that, so they are thinking creatively about how they can get through this backlog, with staff going the extra mile. But can get through this backlog, with staff going the extra mile. Staff going the extra mile. But its challenging staff going the extra mile. But its challenging. Do staff going the extra mile. But its challenging. Do medical staff going the extra mile. But its challenging. Do medical settings. Challenging. Do medical settings still need to be working under the Covid Restraints . With the Vaccination Programme in place, with things having changed, and every other aspect of society pretty much going back to normal . I other aspect of society pretty much going back to normal . Going back to normal . I think they absolutely do going back to normal . I think they absolutely do and going back to normal . I think they absolutely do and i going back to normal . I think they absolutely do and i think going back to normal . I think they absolutely do and i think if going back to normal . I think they absolutely do and i think if you absolutely do and i think if you speak to any Hospital Trust Leader they would say to you that they would be incredibly cautious of letting go of Infection Prevention and control measures right now because we still have people with covid. It is still transmissible and even with the double vaccinations, which helps with the severity of the illness and it helps pull back the transmission, but its still there and we have to protect people, whether theyve been vaccinated or not, from covid. So we are seeing steady increases in the number of Covid Patients in hospital. Its jumped about 30 in a week. So we are not Out Of The Woods yet and it would be, ithink, premature to are not Out Of The Woods yet and it would be, i think, premature to say that we could stop the Infection Prevention and control right now. While covid is in our community, it will be in hospitals, so we need to protect staff and patients. The government protect staff and patients. The government is protect staff and patients. The government is talking about making it compulsory for all Health Workers to be double vaccinated for covid and also to be vaccinated against flu. Would you support that . We know that they have flu. Would you support that . We know that they have launched flu. Would you support that . We know that they have launched a that they have launched a consultation today. I think we have to remember that this is fraught with ethical challenges and also legal challenges, and i think there are really mixed views from Hospital Trust Leader is another Trust Leader is up and down the country about the best way to get Vaccination Rates up. And also maintain the level of staffing on the Front Line that we need. You know, Trust Leaders are basically saying that their engagement with staff collectively and individually, persuasion, building confidence in the Vaccine And Trust in those processes, thats and trust in those processes, thats a really important part of getting Vaccination Levels up. And i think that thats where they would like to focus, but the consultation is out there and i think its really important that we reflect the range of use and understand what works in practice to get those Vaccination Levels up. Because with what we have to remember is if vaccinations are made mandatory, staff who were originally on the Front Line have to be deployed elsewhere and we have significant Staff Vacancies up and down the nhs, so were still at 90,000 vacancies, so we are not in a position necessarily to take people away from the Front Line. Position necessarily to take people away from the Front Line. Thank you ve much away from the Front Line. Thank you very much for away from the Front Line. Thank you very much forjoining away from the Front Line. Thank you very much forjoining us. Away from the Front Line. Thank you very much forjoining us. Saffron i very much forjoining us.

Proof of a Double Jab will be required to get into nightclubs and big events. The Scottish Parliament will vote on the measures this afternoon. The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, says it will help reduce a recent surge in coronavirus cases but concerns have been raised about how it will work. Our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, reports. This was a Big Game For Scotland for what it meant for the national side, and in terms of numbers with more than 40,000 Football Fans attending. The next time Scotland Play at home, though, they might need a covid passport to attend. Well get them. Were old enough, were Double Jabbed, so. People are getting covid tests, etc, etc, so why do they need a passport . I think its a bad idea because its their choice, isnt it . I works in the nhs, i work in a covid ward, and i agree with it we need it. Under the proposal, everyone over 18 whos eligible for vaccination will have to show a Vaccine Certificate to gain entry to nightclubs. Youll have to be Double Jabbed for unseated indoor events with audiences of more than 500 people. Also, if youre in an audience of more than 4,000 at an unseated outdoor event, or at any event with more than 10,000 people attending. Backers say the scheme is a way of allowing events like this big Football Game to go ahead, despite surging covid cases, and will help with efforts to avoid imposing further restrictions. But opponents have concerns about civil liberties, and others wonder whether it will actually work in practice. It is not clear what timescales clubs will be asked to work to. Its not clear what can be done for those people who dont have a smartphone to be able to download Qr Codes and engage with the technology. Chanting. Other countries including italy, ireland and france, where there have been protests against Vaccine Passports have already introduced their own schemes. Experts say it has led to an uptake in vaccinations. France brought this in when they were having a real problem with Vaccine Uptake and the day after the policy was announced, nearly A Million people booked theirjab and its estimated that around Seven Million extra vaccinations have been given because of the introduction of Vaccine Passports. England has plans to introduce Vaccine Certification. Wales is considering it for higher risk settings. Northern ireland has not yet announced a position. Holyrood will debate it later. The Scottish Government insists Vaccine Certification is a limited, targeted and proportionate response to a very difficult situation. Lorna gordon, Bbc News. A man has been arrested after a standoff at a Morrisons Store in bristol in which half a dozen shots were fired. Armed police were called to the scene to deal with a man with a knife. One person was injured but their condition is not believed to be life threatening. The headlines on Bbc News. New tactics to deal with people crossing the English Channel in boats. The uk Border Force is told that it can order boats to turn back to france. The government looks at whether it should be compulsory for Frontline Health Service staff in england to be vaccinated against Covid I9. The number of people in england waiting to start routine Nhs Treatment rises to a new record high. The former afghan president Ashraf Ghani has apologised to the people of afghanistan after fleeing to take refuge in the united arab emirates. In a statement on twitter he said, Leaving Kabul was the most difficult decision of my life, adding that he was sorry he could not make it end differently. More demonstrations have been reported on the streets of the kabul and other cities, despite a warning from the taliban that no protests should take place without their permission. Our Correspondent Danjohnson whos in delhi has been following developments. It does look like people, to some degree, are defying this Protest Ban that was put in last night. The taliban Interior Minister saying that any protests would need official permission, that that would need to be requested 2a hours in advance. So, a de facto ban. He said some people had been taking to the streets with the Instigation And Financing of malicious parties, under the cover of demonstrations, but causing breaches of security, harming citizens and creating chaos. And we saw some violent scenes yesterday, with protesters being held back, being beaten, being lashed. There were journalists who were detained, their cameras and the footage that theyd taken was examined. So weve seen the taliban increasingly struggling to contain crowds, to control protests. And it looks like even though theyve tried to enforce a ban now on gatherings in public places that people, at least to some degree, are trying to defy that. And well have to see what sort of response that brings now from the taliban. The fear will be that therell be even more violence in reaction. The Dup Leader Sirjeffrey donaldson has suggested his party could leave the Power Sharing Arrangement in the the northern Ireland Assembly and trigger an election if their demands over post Brexit Trading arrangements are not met. He said that his party was seeking to challenge the legality of checks on goods moving between great britain and Northern Ireland that were introduced after the uk left the eu. Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Page has been following developments. Unionists strongly oppose this part of the Brexit Deal known as the northern Ireland Protocol, which in effect has resulted in what unionists see as an economic border within the uk. There are checks on goods arriving here from england, scotland and wales, with Northern Ireland effectively remaining under eu law, following some European Union rules. And that was the result of a deal between london and brussels to basically avoid the need for checks on the [and border with the irish republic, but unionists have been pointing to the fact that its unbalanced, in their view. The peace process, the very fragile political relationships between all sides in Northern Ireland, which is the basis of the Power Sharing institutions of government, and now in a speech here in belfast in the last hour, Sirjeffrey Donaldson, the leader of the dup, the biggest party in the northern Ireland Assembly, has basically called into question the future of those institutions. He has said that unless action is taken on the protocol within weeks, unless his partys concerns about the protocol are addressed, well, then in his words that could be a need to refresh the partys mandate. That would mean them leaving the Power Sharing institutions, triggering an early election to the Stormont Assembly. An election is due next may anyway. What sirjeffrey is also going to do immediately is pool out dup ministers from regular meetings with their counterparts in dublin, which are held under the terms of the good Friday Peace agreement, which is a Key Agreement in the peace process. So, that might not have an immediate practical effect, but it is a signal that the dup are toughening up their stance on the protocol and that it is going to affect the way politics here operates quite profoundly. Around 1. 6 million people were still on furlough at The End ofjuly, which was the first month that employers had to pay 10 of the salaries of furloughed staff. Latest official statistics show that around 340,000 people moved off furlough during the month, meaning fewer people using the scheme than at any point since the pandemic started. Furlough will end completely at The End of this month. The former Childrens Commissioner for england is calling for urgent action to stop young people getting involved with gangs and criminals. Anne longfield is launching a year long project to find ways of helping those most at risk. Its feared the pandemic has created greater opportunities for criminals to exploit children. Anne longfield joins me now. Thank you very much forjoining us. What sort of activity are you talking about and how many kids are getting caught up in it . Getting caught up in it . These are some of the getting caught up in it . These are some of the most getting caught up in it . These are some of the most vulnerable some of the most vulnerable teenagers who are often prey to criminals and gangs, who are looking to bind them, to exploit them and get them involved in both violence it in gangs and also the Criminal Justice system. Weve seen some of the dreadful headlines over the last year about some of those, that actually were those children have lost their lives. We know that when kids get into the situation, its not something that they will choose to do, is something that you find themselves in, they might be befriended, they might be showered with Affection And Praise and the lure of potential money, and then find themselves locked in and trapped and unable to get out from that dreadful cycle. So we believe firmly it doesnt have to be this way, we can put a ring of protection around those children and also can provide the kind of opportunities those kids need to be able to succeed in life. And it will take a major national effort, a coordinated plan, and we dont have that at the moment. 50 plan, and we dont have that at the moment. , plan, and we dont have that at the moment,. ,. , plan, and we dont have that at the moment. ,. ,. ,. , moment.

Well, its almost at the moment that there is children . Well, its almost at the moment that there is a children . Well, its almost at the moment that there is a missing L Moment that there is a missing Jigsaw Piece around those kids. They will often have vulnerable home environments, there could be Domestic Violence at home, there may be addictions and severe Mental Health conditions. You know, its not an easy place at home. They will have spent a year and a half with a lot of Time Out of school and many wont have returned to school fully. And that means that they are falling off the radar. What we want to do in this commission is look at how we fight back harder, how we make it less easy for those that want to exploit them to use children as their commodity of choice. So we will be working with all of those that are trying to make a success of this, which includes all the statutory agencies but also those small Youth Organisations are doing such good work locally. And often that work is communal, small scale, disjointed, its not got the money behind it that makes this possible to succeed. And it does need that national plan with the backing from the top. You know, the Prime Minister said not long ago he wanted to fight the head of the snake of county lines. We want him to do that, too, and we hope through this commission we will be able to show how that can be done. I commission we will be able to show how that can be done. How that can be done. I appreciate our at how that can be done. I appreciate your at the how that can be done. I appreciate your at the start how that can be done. I appreciate your at the start of how that can be done. I appreciate your at the start of a how that can be done. I appreciate your at the start of a process, how that can be done. I appreciate your at the start of a process, but| your at the start of a process, but what are the ideas you have currently that would mean things are done differently from how they are currently done . Done differently from how they are currently done . Well, theres some really basic currently done . Well, theres some really basic kind currently done . Well, theres some really basic kind of currently done . Well, theres some really basic kind of mechanics currently done . Well, theres some really basic kind of mechanics of. Really basic kind of mechanics of how organisations can work together. You know, The Sound quite dull, but sharing data. When there are serious case reviews, you will see time and time again information was not passed on when someone had a concern. The mechanics of how they work together and how they can have a common mission. But look, there are a range of factors that make children vulnerable. One is, you know, the kind of protection they can get from home, so how you can strengthen families, you can keep kids in school because of the follower of school there are more vulnerable. What about their Mental Health . Usually very poor at that stage. And what about the high number of children in care who end P Number of children in care who end up in the criminaljustice Situation And System . That cant be right and we have to look at ways to prevent that. So, on all these fronts and many more, how we can actually get to support those kids, inevitably it will be about having people who are on their side and who are looking to work with them and inspire them, Youth Workers which we know have been depleted over recent years, so they can really make, you know, trusted relationships with those kids and have positive activities going on that they can take part on. This has been hosted by a charity and a charitable trust to have done many of these things for decades. We will be looking to learn from them and many more and really put together a collective case for how this can be done, to government and other agencies, too. I this can be done, to government and other agencies, too. Other agencies, too. I mean, there have been other agencies, too. I mean, there have been countless other agencies, too.

Anne longfield. Restrictions on travel to and from the uk could ease later this month under plans to simplify the current Traffic Light System. The green and amber lists could be scrapped meaning double vaccinated Holiday Makers could travel to countries with similar levels of vaccination as the uk, without the need to quarantine. Those arriving in the uk from high risk destinations would still be required to isolate for 10 days in a hotel. Aru na iyengar reports. If this is your idea of a dream holiday. Rather than this, things may be about to change. Travel bosses say Uk Holiday makers have been put off flying abroad because of uncertainty about sudden changes to the travel Traffic Light System, and the need for expensive Pcr Tests before arriving in the uk. At the moment, were in this bizarre position where the uk has the highest Infection Rates of any major european nation, and it also has the highest Barriers To Entry for people coming in. The government devised the travel Traffic Light System to limit transmission of Covid I9 from overseas, and protect against new variants. But now Business Leaders are demanding changes, saying the uk is out of step with the more liberal approach in the eu and us, where vaccinated travellers can fly with much more freedom. People clearly have the confidence in the rest of europe they are roaring ahead of us. Their industry has had more support and less barrier to trade and so will be in a much fitter state, come when the pandemic is over, to compete. Even if the green and amber categories are removed, the Red List of countries which the government says are too high risk to visit is set to remain. Returning from a red country will still mean isolating for ten days in a government approved hotel. That means many countries are still off limits including parts of latin america, africa, egypt, and turkey. The Travel Industry wants change as soon as possible it believes a relaxation in rules will lead to a booking surge, and protect the jobs of workers currently on furlough. That finishes at The End of this month, and coincides with these changes which are expected to be announced as part of the Governments Review of international travel due by the ist of october. Aruna iyengar, Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather with louise lear. A little mini heatwave from early on in the Week Think of the past as we see a day of sunny spells and scattered thundery showers. The humid feel and some of the showers quite slow moving, it could lead to localised Flash Flooding. If anywhere is likely to see fewer showers or escape them, it is along the east coast where we could get highs of 25 or 26 degrees. Largely, the showers ease across England And Wales through tonight, we keep them going into scotland and Northern Ireland, it turns misty and murky, but relatively mild start to friday morning. We almost do it all again into friday. Another showery day. But it should be a day with slightly fewer showers are most likely to be to the north and the west. In Eastern Areas, with the best of the sunshine, again, potentially the best of the warmth and temperatures peaking at 24 celsius. A change of Wind Direction into the weekend brings drier but fresher weather. Hello, this is Bbc News. The headlines the number of people in england waiting to start routine Nhs Treatment rises to a new record high.

The former afghan president Ashraf Ghani apologises to the people of afghanistan after fleeing to take refuge in the united arab emirates. Facebook is accused of sexism in the way it displays recruitment adverts to its users, with men allegedly being shown Mechanic Ads and women targeted with Nursery Nurse posts. Sport, and for a full round up, from the Bbc Sport centre, heres gavin. Good morning. We absolutley start with the tennis, and the dream just continues to get better and better for british teenager Emma Raducanu as she continues to make history by qualifying for the semifinals of the Us Open. She did it by beating the 11th Seed Belinda Bencic in straight sets. Remarkably, this is the furthest any british woman has gone in the Competition Sincejo Durie back in 1983. Raducanu is also the first ever qualifier to make the semifinals at flushing meadows. Shell Play Maria Sakkari of greece for a place in the final in the early hours of Tomorrow Morning, so set your alarms for about 1am for that one. Ididnt i didnt expect to be here at all. I think my flights were booked at The End of qualifying, so. Its a nice problem to have but, yeah, im just really enjoying the experience and out there on the court today, i was saying to myself, this could be the last time you play on our surname, sojust enjoy last time you play on our surname, so just enjoy everything and go and play. Staying with the Us Open, novak djokovic continues his bid to win the calendar grand slam by winning all four grand slams in the same year. In a repeat of the wimbledon final, the World Number one came from a set down to beat italys matteo berrettini in four sets. He will face Alexander Zverev in the semifinal tomorrow, the german who beat djokovic in the olympic semifinals injuly. England have named a preliminary squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the uae and oman, with sussex fast bowler tymal mills included for the first time since 2016 after he impressed in the T20 Blast and the hundred. But not in the 15 Man Squad is all Rounder Ben stokes, he was unavailable for selection as he continues to take an Indefinate Breakfrom Cricket for his mental wellbeing. But Head Coach Chris Silverwood has a month to finalise the squad, so stokes could be a last minute addition. England kick off their tournament on the 23rd Of October against the world champions, west indies. On to football, and Englands100 Record in World Cup qualifying for qatar next year came to an end after they drew in poland. Gareth southgates side looked to be heading for another win when Harry Kane put them ahead with this superb strike from 30 yards, but poland found an equaliser in injury time, Damian Szymanski popping up with this header to ensure the points were shared. England still very much in Pole Position to win the group and qualify, though. Northern ireland, though, have it all to do. Chasing second place and a chance to qualify via the play offs, they needed to beat the team above them, switzerland. But it finished goaless in belfast, thanks to bailey peacock Farrells Penalty save in the first half. Thats the second competitive game in a row in which he has saved a penalty. And there was frustration too for wales, who could have gone second in their group with a win but they were held to a goaless draw by the bottom side estonia, despite gareth bales best efforts. And having dominated his sport for a decade and breaking numerous world records, usain bolt is now turning his attention to a different type of record, as a music producer. The eight time olympic gold medallist, working with his best Friend Nugent Nj walker, has released the Album Country yutes. And its clear that bolt has very high ambitions for his new venture. I want to win a grammy. That would be like the pinnacle of music, you know what i mean . Get a platinum single or platinum album. Those are the levels. Im notjust saying im going to make music to make a little bit of money here or there, i want to reach to the pinnacle of the highest level, you know what i mean . I want to be in a room with all of these big producers, these beats, and again people can talk about my music. Thats all the sport for now. Ill have more for you in the next hour. The deaths of three adults with learning difficulties at a failed hospital should prompt a review to prevent more lethal outcomes at similar facilities, according to a report. Norfolk safeguarding Adults Board found there were significant failures in the care of the patients at Cawston Park. Jeesal group, the owners of the hospital said it was deeply sorry to the families. President obama promised to close it, Joe Biden called it an advertisement for terrorist groups, but the Guantanamo Bay Detention Centre is still open. Inside the camp are the five men accused of involvement in the 9 11 attacks. Now, 20 years on, they made their 42nd Appearance in court. Our North America Correspondent Aleem Maqbool was there. In a tiny corner of cuba, one notorious by product of the 9 11 attack still remains. Prisoners are still being held in limbo in Guantanamo Bay. Well, of course, the us authorities have allowed us to be here but they are extremely restrictive in controlling what we can show in terms of people and structures. They certainly have not allowed us near the Detention Facilities where the remaining prisoners are being held. Many of these original camps have been long abandoned. Now 39 prisoners remain. Some were cleared for release as far back as 2010 but are still waiting to leave. Others have been designated forever prisoners because of the threat they are thought to pose. But ten have been charged and are due to face military trials. They include five men accused of involvement in the 9 11 attacks. For the first time in more than 18 months those five men were in a courtroom together. We could not film it of course but we were in the gallery behind the glass when these men appeared for their Pre Trial hearing. Including at the front here, that man with the ginger beard, which is khalid sheikh mohammed, the man who its believed conceived of the idea of the 9 11 attacks, and took that idea to osama bin laden. The proceedings themselves were extremely slow. One of the main obstacles in terms of the arguments going forward is what evidence is admissible and what cannot be admitted because of torture. It is one of the reasons why the Family Members of victims of 9 11, some of whom were here in the gallery observing events, are unlikely to get a resolution in this case soon. People often ask, is there an end in sight, and for a long time there was not even a middle in sight. But now we are in the middle of the case, wrestling on the effect that torture has on admissibility of statements is the heart of the case. Mistakes of the past are having a bearing on the Search Forjustice now over 9 11. With no trial dates even having being set, the Detention Centre here looks no closer to shutting down. The bbc has learnt that theres been a significant increase in reports of Health Incidents affecting us spies and diplomats in recent months. Originally known as Havana Syndrome due to where it was first recognised, officials say the condition has now spread beyond cuba to every continent. The symptoms include hearing strange sounds and a feeling of heat or pressure. Heres our security correspondent, gordon corera. Cheering and whistling in 2015, the us reopened its embassy in cuba, as relations between the countries were restored, but then something happened. Diplomats and spies began to hear sounds and fall ill with a mysterious illness that people struggled to explain what became known as Havana Syndrome. The Trump Administration announced friday that it is putting more than half of its staff out of the american embassy in havana. But it wasntjust havana. On a Trip To Moscow A year later, senior Cia Officer Marc polymeropolous says he suffered similar symptoms. It is real, we have to get our People Health Care and then we have to find out whos doing this because, as i have always contended, this is an act of war against us officials. Her flight was delayed for several hours because at least one us diplomat had to be medevaced. But some have questioned whether the syndrome is real, suggesting that the stress caused whats called a psychogenic illness of the mind, which is now spreading. When you see mass psychogenic illnesses, theres usually some stressful situation, an underlying situation. And of course, in the case of cuba and the embassy employees, particularly the cia agents, they certainly were in a stressful situation. In the last year, new evidence has emerged. That Led A Panel of scientists, sponsored by the state department, to conclude that pulsed microwaves were most likely responsible in at least some of the cases. For many of these people, real injury, Real Neurologic Injury took place. It took place through a mechanism that we cannot precisely pinpoint, but we think could be linked to this relatively unusual mechanism that really has not received a whole lot of Study Pulse Microwave energy. Definitive evidence of what started in cuba remains elusive. Some link it to electronic surveillance. Others, a weapon. But with cases now emerging in every continent, the biden administration has made solving this mystery a national priority. Facebook is being accused of sexism in the way it displays recruitment adverts to its users. Our Technology Correspondent Rory cellan jones joins us now. This is an investigation by a Campaign Group called Global Witness is. They tried to methods of investigating this system, face first saint two blatantly biased adverts and facebook accepted those advertisements might for a publication with a slight warning, please dontjust publication with a slight warning, please dont just terminate. Publication with a slight warning, please dontjust terminate. But those were to have been illegal in the us and canada after a court case, and facebook said it would change its rules. There was four ads forjobs change its rules. There was four ads for jobs that werent targeted, they said, just send them to adults in the uk, for a Nursery Nurse, a mechanic, a pilot and a psychologist, and then they looked, because you get information back, at how facebook served those ads up, and it showed that over 90 of those seeing the Nurse Ad were women and over 96 of the people seeing the Mechanic Ad were men. Slightly lower for the pilots and psychologist ads. Slight evidence of bias in the way the ads would have been placed in the ads would have been placed in the old days but.

Facebook submitted that this happens but it is pointing to a wider issue for the whole industry. What its trying to do for its customers, the advertisers, is show ads to people are interested in them. You might say it would be foolish to spend money on a Nursery Nurse ads and have them seen by, i dont know, middle aged men in wealthy parts of london. They want them to be clicked on, the crew to them to be clicked on, the crew to them to be opened, they want to reach that audience, but in doing so, you reinforce existing biases.

The algorithm will still be there, as it is globally, searching out the best people to click on those ads, the people most likely to click on those ads. And its a huge debate for the whole online industry and the whole fabric on which it works. And it is a huge problem for facebook because it depends totally on advertising for its revenue and this extraordinary promise of getting you to you want to be.

More victims of a Breast Implant Scandal will see a french Court Rule in the case of alleged negligence after a company was allowed to use industrial Grade Silicone in its implants. The German Firm Tuv reinland awarded a Safety Certificate to a french company using the faulty impants. Earlier this year, thousands of women affected, inlcuding more than 500 british women, were told they would receive compensation after a decade long legal battle. Tuv previously said it had acted diligently. Earlier, we spoke to catherine mcgarrell, a lawyer representing women in the pip Breast Implant Scandal. Were cautiously optimistic that the decision made today in toulon will be the right one, so the Hearing Today determines the cases in batch four, the so called tuv 4. There was already precedent set in may of this year in tuv 1, which was heard in the Court Of Appeal in paris and we hope for the same Success And Today we did in the Court Of Appeal. Because the Silicon Compound within the implants wasnt refined to a medical standard, the Rupture Rate of these implants vastly increased. Now, these ruptures caused absolutely catastrophic injuries, they entered the lymph nodes in their arms and their necks, leaving them with permanently reduced movements, very unsightly lumps and permanent pain that can only be managed with painkillers. The injuries they were left with has, in their own words, left them deformed. And again that is on top of the pain they still suffer. So, for the women within the tuv 4 batch, it will be a bittersweet victory. We still expect a long fight ahead with us with tuv. So far, Tuv Have refused to enter negotiations with ourselves or any other firm. Within the tuv 1 batch heard earlier this year, thats been ongoing since 2010. So we certainly hope that tuv 4 isnt going to go on as long as that, but it may well still. As weve been hearing, britains Emma Raducanu has become the first british woman to reach the semifinals of the Us Open since Jo Durie in 1983. Matt graveling has been speaking to people at the Tennis Club she grew up in bromley, south london. It may be 5500 miles away from flushing meadows in new york for the Us Open, but all eyes here at bromley Tennis Centre are fixed firmly on the United States as one of their own, Emma Raducanu, has made it to the semifinals. Fantastic. But if you want to see how hard people have to work to make it to such dizzy heights, have a look at this. This is a List Ofjunior champions, under eights, boys and girls, and if you look down the List And End top on 2009, there she is, miss e raducanu. Shes been doing this for a long time, winning games, winning tournaments. But in the early hours of Tomorrow Morning, 1am uk time, the biggest game of her life. Were not going to put too much pressure on emma, because we do that in this country, but people here at her Home Tennis Centre are very, very excited. Lets now speak to anna who works and plays here. Anna, how has it been, the reaction since youve seen emma, notjust at wimbledon but now at the Us Open, getting better and better. Its amazing. Everyones so excited and the further she gets, the more excited everyone is. We had a group of girls watching her Match Yesterday here and every point, it was brilliant. Mr Andrew Murray has been dominating headlines, its fair to say, in british tennis the last few years. Have you seen a spike in female interest in new members coming to the club as emma progresses . Yeah, definitely. Especially with the young girls, weve had a lot of people inquiring. People who have obviously seen her and want to get involved and give tennis a go. Its been great. Fantastic, thank you very much, anna. There have been lots of people here today training, im going to risk myself and go onto this court real quick and have a quick chat with chris green, whos one of the coaches here. And actually saw Emma Train just a couple of years ago. Everyones quite surprised by this sudden progress. You know what youre talking about when it comes to tennis, are you surprised . Hopefully yeah, im quite surprised how quickly shes risen up the ranks and what shes doing. I could see it happening maybe in a couple of years. I thought maybe she was going to get into the top 100, maybe start to break the top 50. There was definitely always a player there but i had no idea this was going to happen, that she was going to Burst Out and do what shes done in the Us Open and at wimbledon. Final question for you, chris, do you think with what youve seen from her, as such a mature player, as she gets to these later rounds, do you think the pressure will be ok . I think shes shown a lot of times already that shes handling it quite well. I think shes already exceeded her own Expectations, i think. So i think shell you ok. Thank you very much, chris. So, not too much pressure being put on emma from here in bromley but lots and lots of excitement. If you do want to watch that match, get up nice and early, 1am 2am uk time, orset get up nice and early, 1am 2am uk time, or set your video recorder.

Animal control in maryland is on the lookout for three zebras that escaped from this private farm. The trio made a run for it late last week and have been on the loose ever since. Several other zebras remain on the owners property, but residents of prince Georges County have reported a number of spottings of these striped animals in recent days. Now its time for a look at the weather. The weather is on the change. We have lost the clear blue sky, the sunshine, the heat. It was the warmest September Night on record, 28. 8 celsius recorded on wednesday, the hottest September Day in scotland for 115 years. Temperatures are falling away, not too drastically today, but from 30 to 23 celsius, a noticeable difference. Still quite a humid feel across the country. That will trigger sharp and thundery downpours. Some of these showers could be slow moving, there may be Flash Flooding in places. It does look likely that showers more widespread out in the west and sheltered Eastern Areas will hold onto sunshine and fewer if any. 25, 26 celsius not out of the question here. Thursday into friday, some showers across England And Wales starts to fade away but they will continue into parts of scotland and northern england. It could turn misty and murky in places, a relatively mild night. Friday morning temperatures in the mid teens. Low temperature in the far north of the country, plenty of showers spiralling around that. Sheltered Eastern Areas will see fewer showers, but we cannot rule out that one or two of them will drift further inland. They could be heavy and thundery as well. Temperatures will peak at 24 celsius. Just above where they should be for this time of year. As we go into the weekend, it looks likely there will be fewer showers, still the potential for some rain, particularly for the northern isles, some cloud, hopefully that cloud breaking up into Eastern Areas, fewer showers, temperatures into the low 20s. As we move out of saturday into sunday, High Pressure quietening things down further still but the position of the high is altering Wind Direction. Coming in from a north westerly, that means a slightly fresher feel yet again. A good deal of dry weather for sunday, butjust that little bit cooler. Have a lovely day. This is Bbc News. The headlines the number of people in england waiting to start routine Nhs Treatment rises to a new record high. An independent report finds significant failures at a hospital for people with learning difficulties, after three patients died.

The number of people in england waiting to start routine Hospital Treatment has risen to a new record high, as a result of the Nhs Backlog caused by the pandemic. A record 5. 6 million patients were waiting for routine operations in england injuly. 293,000 have been waiting more than a year, which is down on the previous month but still far higher than Pre Pandemic levels. Nearly 8,000 patients waiting more than two years for routine operations and treatment. Saffron cordery, deputy chief executive of nhs providers, which represents hospitals and other nhs trusts in england, gave her reaction to the record high number. The 5. 6 million, the highest ever Waiting List that weve seen, and i think that demonstrates the real operational pressure that the Front Line nhs is under and i think within that the figures that look at those who have been waiting for longer than 52 weeks, so longer than a year, is at nearly 300,000, and that has just increased exponentially over the period of the pandemic. And it demonstrates the significant impact of this seismic event, which is the pandemic, which built on an nhs which was striving to get through as many procedures and operations as possible, but was really struggling Pre Pandemic as well. So i think what weve got is this scenario where we need to be able to focus now as heavily as possible on getting through that backlog of care, but thats made it incredibly difficult when weve got of care, but thats made incredibly difficult when weve got rising numbers of Covid Patients coming through the front door. So what is being done to work through that backlog . Are hospitals and other health centres now operating at full capacity . Well, they are operating at covid full capacity, rather than Pre Pandemic full capacity. There are huge constraints on the number of procedures and also, you know, the processes of Infection Protection and control, the levels of staffing needed in covid, the need for social distancing, it does pullback on the number of procedures that can be carried out. And its also worth remembering, and i think this is an important context to have in mind, we have Covid Patients in hospital, we cant get through other procedures. So if someone is in hospital with covid, a typical length of stay might be two or three weeks. If they are in a bed, we could have treated between nine and ten Cancer Patients in that time. So that gives us some idea of what it means to be dealing with covid and the backlog. But trusts are working incredibly hard. They are doing innovative things, things like super saturdays, where hospitals are doing many, many of the same procedures all at the same time when their Operating Theatres are clear for them to do that, so they are thinking creatively about how they can get through this backlog, with staff going the extra mile. But its challenging. Our Health Correspondent Katharine Da Costa is here what is the picture . Well, you are riuht. What is the picture . Well, you are right nhs what is the picture . Well, you are right. Nhs staff what is the picture . Well, you are right. Nhs staff are what is the picture . Well, you are right. Nhs staff are saying what is the picture . Well, you are right. Nhs staff are saying its what is the picture . Well, you are right. Nhs staff are saying its the | right. Nhs staff are saying its the busiest summer on record, coping not just with covid, but an increasing demand for urgent Care And Record A E attendances. Staff have seen 3 Million attendances at A E departments in may and june. Ambulance crews have answered nearly 2 Million calls on the same period. Cardiac arrest took an average of eight and a half minutes to attend, instead of the seven minute target. Nearly 10 are having to wait more than a quarter of an hour and if you look at category two calls, these are emergencies dealing with Heart Attack and strokes, on average they were attended in nearly 39 minutes. The target is 18 minutes. And actually 90 of patients were waiting an hour and 24 minutes. There has been a marginal improvement in august compared to july, but these are still some of the longest waits on record. Nhs england have said, despite the pressure, they are carrying out millions more tests and treatments, whilst also still seeing Covid Patients. Over the course of the pandemic, they have treated more than 450,000 Covid Patients in england. We than 450,000 Covid Patients in encland. ~. ,. , england. We heard there from saffron corde the england. We heard there from Saffron Cordery the obviously england. We heard there from Saffron Cordery the obviously medical cordery the obviously medical environments are still operating at covid capacity, reduced capacity. There is this huge influx of money the government were talking about yesterday, but how quickly will start to make a difference, because where will it be targeted . Its not like there is a great workforce out there just waiting to be paid and brought in . It will be a slow process, one touch . Immediately, there is this process, one touch . Immediately, there is this extra process, one touch . Immediately, there is this extra £5. 4 process, one touch . Immediately, there is this extra £5. 4 billion process, one touch . Immediately, there is this extra £5. 4 billion for i there is this extra £5. 4 billion for there is this extra £5. 4 billion for the nhs in england which will be spent over the next six months, and thats to target the winter period, this coming winter, so they can deal with covid and also try and tackle the backlog. But there is this missing patient number, 8 Million who might have been worried about catching the virus and have not come forward, and if they start come forward, and if they start come forward, its not clear how many might start to do so, that could push up the overall Waiting List to around 13 Million. You were referring to this new health and social Care Levy mps voted in favour of increasing national insurance and over the next three years that could create £36 billion. The majority of that being spent on the nhs, but no details on the targets on how you might bring down the Waiting Lists and more details about how you boost the workforce because, as you say, there are vacancies there that clearly need to be filled. There is talk of a lot more work looking at innovations, so Saffron Cordery was talking about Saturday Clinics for surgery to try to do many more at the weekends, theyre using artificial intelligence, more use of robots and surgery to try to speed up robots and surgery to try to speed up recovery time of patients, all these things are going to be really important because experts have said its notjust money on thats needed, i really thought out plan is also going to be needed to get through. Also going to be needed to get throu~h. Also going to be needed to get throuuh. ,. ,. , through. Katharine da costa, thank ou. An independent review has found significant failures at a private hospital in norfolk, where three adults with learning disabilities died. Among other things, the 95 Page Report highlighted the use of excessive restraint and over medication of residents atjeesal Cawston Park. The hospital has apologised to the families of those who died , who were all aged in their 30s. Margaret flynn, who was commissioned by Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board to write the report, said a number of failures had been highlighted current provision across all agencies has failed to deter or prevent these tragedies. The Safeguarding Board has very few powers. It can investigate, it can inquire, rather, it can make inquiries, but this is a whole System And Safeguarding is just one very small part of the whole system, so we do want all levels of organisations to be held to account. Keith bailey is the father ofjoanna bailey, one of the people who died. So they totally ignored her and then just went to bed. And then at 12 15am they did the observation on her. At 3 15am they did the next observation. They should have been every half an hour. And at 3 15am, she was dead. Theres been reaction the independent regulator of all health and social care services in england, the care quality commissiom.

We are improving the way we register, monitor and inspect services for people with a Learning Disability and autistic people. This includes developing more in depth inspections to scrutinise services cultures and understand peoples experiences. The Home Secretary, Priti Patel, is preparing to personally approve individual operations to push migrant boats back into french water. The uk Border Force is in the final stages of training to use the highly controversial tactic albeit in limited legal circumstances. The move is set to be opposed by the french authorities, who describe the technique as dangerous, foolish, and a breach of maritime law. Officials warn it could have a negative impact on uk french cooperation. So far, more than 12,600 migrants have made thejourney from france to the uk. 1,500 migrants have crossed the English Channel so far this week. It comes as a deal was struck injuly for uk to pay france £54. 2 Million to tackle crossings. Priti patel has threatened to withhold the money, due to the number of crossings taking place. Simonjones reports. More than 1,500 migrants have reached the uk by boat this week alone. Britain says the numbers are unacceptable france, unsatisfactory. A meeting between the Home Secretary and her french counterpart, gerald darmanin, yesterday was described as constructive, but failed to agree new measures to prevent the crossings. Now Priti Patel plans to use so called push back tactics to force boats back into french waters in limited circumstances, and only when its considered safe to do so. Its a technique thats controversially being used by the australian authorities, who towed migrant boats back to indonesia, saying it helped restore the integrity of their borders. Critics claim its damaged the countrys reputation. The British Government says it needs to use every possible tactic at its disposal to tackle the vile trade in People Smuggling, and Border Force Staff are already being trained. The french government believes the technique is dangerous and against international maritime law. The Home Office, though, has taken legal advice suggesting otherwise but its likely to strain the already tense relations between britain and france further. Simon jones, Bbc News. Our correspondent in calais, nick beake, said the Uk Governments plans have received a less than warm welcome from their french counterparts. These are all questions we dont know the answers to, but certainly in broad terms the french think this is an inhumane way of dealing with the problem, to use the language of their Interior Minister, who met Priti Patel yesterday. And, from their perspective, they say they have already kept their side of the bargain, as it were, and they claim that in the course of this year they have intercepted about half of the small boats that have set off from these shores. That means around 10,000 people have been intercepted and returned to french soil. And the idea that maybe in the coming weeks and months that the Uk Government would withhold some of the £54 million pledged to double patrols here in france, they think that is completely unfair and they said this agreement was never based on a performance related clause, the Money Wouldnt be given dependent on results, so the french i think are pretty unhappy about this. But, you know, its worth pointing out, as youve been saying, this is something which has emerged in the newspapers rather than a big announcement made with great fanfare from the British Government. Theres been plenty of reaction to this. The tactic has never been used in the English Channel but it has been used in the mediterranean and they say they would be surprised if it is used at all. We will talk about this in a few moments. Alp mehmet is the chairman of Migration Watch uk. Thank you forjoining us. Do you envisage this really being a workable solution to the issue of people crossing the channel in boats . ~. , , people crossing the channel in boats . ~. , ,. , boats . Well, it has been used.

It is the more sturdy and larger boats which would be intercepted and only turned around if its safe to do so. To me, that suggests the traffickers will have taken note and they will simply pile migrants into the smaller even less seaworthy dinghies. So im not sure how its going to work out, but certainly drastic action is required. Im sure that Home Office lawyers, foreign office lawyers, they really looked at this carefully and then decided that its perfectly legal, so well see what happens. Whether it stops the flow of illegal crossings im not sure it will. Heath . Crossings im not sure it will. Why do ou crossings im not sure it will. Why do you think crossings im not sure it will.

What i was thinking was, the government talks about making legal options the way for people to come here, so that they dont end up seeing that as a way thatis dont end up seeing that as a way that is successful. Below is legal options arent really out there, are they . Thats the problem. When you look at what is happening in afghanistan right now, the government has announced the scheme to allow over five years 20,000 people to come here from afghanistan, but there is an issue right now and thats inevitably presumably going to be there will people coming from afghanistan potentially this exact way in the months and years ahead . Well, thats a se arate months and years ahead . Well, thats a separate issue, months and years ahead . Well, thats a separate issue, frankly, months and years ahead . Well, thats a separate issue, frankly, but months and years ahead . Well, thats a separate issue, frankly, but we a separate issue, frankly, but we are looking specifically at the numbers crossing the channel and we want to put an end to that if we want to put an end to that if we want to put an end to that if we want to put an end to that, i think what the government has announced is a step in the right direction, whether it successful or not is another matter. There are plenty of safe routes, frankly. But we mustnt forget that many of those who apply forget that many of those who apply for asylum frankly are not in the strictest sense of the word refugees. And it was only an Eu Commissioner very recently who said that the majority of those who apply for asylum are not genuine asylum seekers. They are not refugees. And we mustnt lose sight of that. Mp we mustnt lose sight of that. Alp mehmet, thank you very much. Sport and for a full round up, from the Bbc Sport centre, heres gavin. We absolutley start with the tennis. And the dream just continues to get better and better for british teenager Emma Raducanu as she continues to make history by qualifying for the semifinals of the Us Open. She did it by beating the 11th Seed Belinda Bencic in straight sets. Remarkably, this is the furthest any british woman has gone in the Competition Sincejo Durie, back in 1983. Raducanu is also the first ever qualifier to make the semifinals at flushing meadows. Shell Play Maria Sakkari of greece for a place in the final in the early hours of Tomorrow Morning, so set your alarms for about 1am for that one. I didnt expect to be here at all. I think my flights were booked at The End of qualifying, so. Its a nice problem to have but, yeah, im just really enjoying the experience and out there on the court today, i was saying to myself, this could be the last time you play on ashe, so just enjoy everything and go and play. Staying with the Us Open, novak djokovic continues his bid to win the calendar grand slam by winning all four grand slams in the same year. In a repeat of the wimbledon final, the World Number one came from a set down to beat italys matteo berrettini in four sets. He will face Alexander Zverev in the semifinal tomorrow, the german who beat djokovic in the olympic semifinals injuly. England have named a preliminary squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the uae and oman, with sussex fast bowler tymal mills included for the first time since 2016 after he impressed in the T20 Blast and the hundred. But not in the 15 Man Squad is all Rounder Ben stokes. He was unavailable for selection, as he continues to take an indefinite Breakfrom Cricket for his mental wellbeing. But Head Coach Chris Silverwood has a month to finalise the squad, so stokes could be a last minute addition. England kick off their tournament on the 23rd Of October against world champions, west indies. Thats all the sport for now. Ill have more for you in the next hour. Gavin, thank you very much. See you later. The government is starting a six Week Consultation on whether it should be compulsory for Nhs Staff in england to be vaccinated against Covid 19. Under the plans, Front Line workers and care Home Staff would also need to get flu jabs. Some unions are warning it will lead to a Staff Shortage but the Health Secretary, Sajid Javid says getting both jabs protects vulnerable patients. These comments have been echoed by the social Care Minister Helen whatley. So, we have a policy that weve already legislated for. That is to require those working in Care Homes, and on the premises, to be doubly vaccinated. And thats because weve seen through the pandemic that those in Care Homes are the most vulnerable to covid, the most at risk of dying from this disease. And, yes, a vast, vast majority of residents in Care Homes have been doubly vaccinated, but we know that though the vaccine is very effective, its not perfect, there is still a risk of getting covid, particularly for those most vulnerable residents. And so, what were doing, i think, has to be the right thing, which is to give those residents the maximum protection and that means staff looking after those vulnerable people should be vaccinated. Professor Adam Finn is professor of paediatrics at the university of bristol and a member of Thejoint Committee on vaccination and immunisation. Welcome, thank you forjoining us. Should covid vaccines be compulsory for Health Staff . For Health Staff . Well, there are of course two for Health Staff . Well, there are of course two sides for Health Staff . Well, there are of course two sides to for Health Staff . Well, there are of course two sides to the for Health Staff . Well, there are of course two sides to the story. For Health Staff . Well, there are of course two sides to the story. I for Health Staff . Well, there are of course two sides to the story. I didj course two sides to the story. I did an interview earlier which is being quoted very partially. There are reasons to support this idea and there are also reasons to resist it. And id like to emphasise that those arguments exist on both sides. We do have compulsory immunisation for Hepatitis B in the Health Service and that is widely accepted. We dont at the moment for influenza, for example, but we do get very high uptake rates in some hospitals were a real effort is made to create the culture and get everyone to do it. In the context of a pandemic, of course things get done differently and there is an argument that people should be compelled just to get things going and to get things done, but ultimately i think we all agree that the best way to get a colleague to receive immunisations to give them the information they need so that they can make the right decision, which is in this case to get vaccinated. But decision, which is in this case to get vaccinated. Decision, which is in this case to get vaccinated. But how long to let that process get vaccinated. But how long to let that process run, get vaccinated. But how long to let that process run, particularly get vaccinated. But how long to let that process run, particularly as. Get vaccinated. But how long to letj that process run, particularly as we head into winter and the number of cases increasing . Is time of the essence, when you look at figures that say about 88 of Nhs Trust Staff have had two doses, but in some trust it for 278 . Exactly. Your question some trust it for 278 . Exactly. Your question is some trust it for 278 . Exactly. Your question is the some trust it for 278 . Exactly. Your question is the right some trust it for 278 . Exactly. Your question is the right one. | some trust it for 278 . Exactly. I your question is the right one. How long do you wait in a crisis . We are in a crisis. Potentially a bigger one is the winter approaches. So in a sense you may be Up To resort to taking these measures just because of the level of concern. On the other hand, if some hospitals can reach very, very high coverage rates, without compelling people, then others should be able to do likewise. So i think we shouldnt give up on trying to explain to people and get people to do this voluntarily, but it may turn out to be the case that the government will decide to make it a requirement. decide to make it a requirement. I spoke to Saffron Cordery of nhs providers earlier and she raised concerns regarding the legality of it. Is that one of the key issues in the discussions youve been having . Well, ive not been having any discussions about this, this is very much a political decision, its not something the jcvi much a political decision, its not Something Thejcvi advises about, but as i said before we do have mandatory occupational immunisation for Hepatitis B, so that would suggest to me that there is a legal precedent for requiring vaccination. And our politicians are The Ones who make the law, so i suppose if they choose to make it a requirement, then that becomes legal. Choose to make it a requirement, then that becomes legal. There has been criticism then that becomes legal. There has been criticism of then that becomes legal. There has been criticism of the then that becomes legal. There has been criticism of the length then that becomes legal. There has been criticism of the length of then that becomes legal. There has been criticism of the length of time j been criticism of the length of time its taking around various aspects of the Vaccination Programme, as we had to winter. Not least vaccinating under 15 is and also the booster jabs. It seems that boosterjabs had gone away for all, or at least all over 50s, gone away for all, or at least all over50s, but gone away for all, or at least all over 50s, but nowhere hearing the programme could roll out in two weeks. ~. ,. , programme could roll out in two weeks. ,. ,. , programme could roll out in two weeks. ,. ,. ,. , weeks.

Thank you the former afghan president Ashraf Ghani has apologised to the people of afghanistan after fleeing to take refuge in the united arab emirates. In a statement on twitter he said, Leaving Kabul was the most difficult decision of my life, adding that he was sorry he could not make it end differently. More demonstrations have been reported on the streets of the kabul and other cities, despite a warning from the taliban that no protests should take place without their permission. Our correspondent yogita limaye has been following the story from mumbai. What is the latest . We have seen another day of protests in kabul and also in the west of afghanistan. Ive been speaking to some women who have been coming out. They were out on the Streets Yesterday as well. The taliban came and started beating them with batons, which emit electric shocks and with whips as well. They say all of them were hit and despite those risks, they say they will continue to keep coming out on the streets because they want to raise their voice. They say they want equality for women, they cant accept a government like The One announced on tuesday by the taliban which doesnt have any female representatives. They are also worried that they might not be able to go back to the work that they used to do before 15 august. While the taliban has said that right now because of the Security Situation that persists, theyre asking women, except for those in the health sector, not to go to work, but the woman ive been speaking to are worried whether they will at all be able to return to theirjobs and thats the reason they say that despite the risks they want, not just for themselves but for the next generation. One woman told me, i will keep going again and again until the taliban killed me. It is better to die at once than to die gradually. The taliban are calling these protests illegal, saying they are instigated by people with malicious interests, people outside afghanistan, with the intent of causing chaos. And what they have donein causing chaos. And what they have done in response to the protest is effectively banned them because what they are now saying is that anybody wants to demonstrate needs to seek permission from the minstry of justice and that at least 24 was in advance they need to inform security services notjust about advance they need to inform security services not just about the location and time the protest but what slogans people are going to raise or what banners they are going to display. And weve already had a taliban spokesman say that Protesters Cant Use language which is abusive. Against the leaders of the islamic emirate of afghanistan, as they are calling it. Its hard to see how the would be given permission to protest in future. Yogita limaye, thank you. A man has been arrested after a standoff at a Morrisons Store in bristol in which half a dozen shots were fired. Armed police were called to the scene to deal with a man with a knife.

Around 1. 6 million people were still on furlough at The End ofjuly, which was the first month that employers had to pay 10 of the salaries of furloughed staff. Latest official statistics show that around 340,000 people moved off furlough during the month, meaning fewer people using the scheme than at any point since the pandemic started. Furlough will end completely at The End of this month. Now its time for a look at the weather with nick miller. Big changes in the weather compared with recent days. Low pressure moves right across the uk, bands of rain, showers and thunderstorms spiralling around it. Very limited sunny spells today, a few across northern and eastern parts of england, where maybe across eastern england the temperature in the mid 20s and a bit of sunshine might still feel like the weather of recent days and perhaps not too many showers around here. Elsewhere, intense downpours bring the risk of Surface Water Flooding and travel disruption. In scotland, especially in the north east, there is a risk of flooding heading into the morning . It will be a Warm And Muggy night, misty and murky as we start the morning. Some showers from the word go. More will get going during the day.

The Dup Leader Sirjeffrey donaldson has suggested his party could leave the Power Sharing Arrangement in the the northern Ireland Assembly and trigger an election if their demands over post Brexit Trading arrangements are not met. He said that his party was seeking to challenge the legality of checks on goods moving between great britain and Northern Ireland that were introduced after the uk left the eu. Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Page has been following developments. Unionist strongly opposed the part of the Brexit Deal known as the northern Ireland Protocol which has in effect resulted in what union says an economic water within the uk. There checks on goods arriving here from england, scotland and wales as Northern Ireland remains in effect under eu law, eu rules. That was a result of a deal to avoid the need for checks on the land was a result of a deal to avoid the need for checks on the [and bought out with the irish republic. But unionists have been pointing to the fact that its unbalanced in their view the peace process, the very fragile political relationships between all sides in Northern Ireland, which is the basis of the Power Sharing institutions of government. And now in a speech in belfast and last hour, Sirjeffrey Donaldson, though it of the dup, the biggest party in the northern Ireland Assembly, space by courting to question the future of those institutions. Here said that unless action is taken on the protocol within weeks, in lesser spotteds concerns about the protocol are assessed, there could be a need to refresh the partys mandate. That would mean leaving the Power Sharing institutions, triggering an early election to the Stormont Assembly an election is due next may month anyway. What Sirjeffrey Donaldson is going to do immediately is pull out dup ministers from regular meetings with their counterparts in dublin, which are held on to the terms of the good Friday Peace agreement, which is the Key Agreement, which is the Key Agreement in the peace process. That might not have an immediate practical effect but it is a signal that the dup are topping up their stance on the protocol and it is going to affect the way politics here operates quite profoundly. Facebook is being accused of sexism in the way it displays recruitment adverts to its users. An investigation found that Facebooks Algorithm showed ads for mechanics almost exclusively to men, while nearly all of those seeing ads for Nursery Nurses were women. Facebook says its examining the report and that its system tries to show people ads they will be most interested in. Our Technology Correspondent Rory cellan jones tells us more about the investigation this is an investigation by a Campaign Group called Global Witnesses. They tried two methods of investigating the system. First, they sent two blatantly biased ads, one targeted not at women and one targetted anyone over 55 and facebook accepted those ads for a publication with a slight warning, please dont discriminate. But those would have been illegal in the us and canada after a case, and facebook said it will change its rules globally in a while. Perhaps more interestingly, there sent four ads for jobs that werent targeted, they said just send them to adults in the uk, for a Nursery Nurse, a mechanic, a pilot and a psychologist, and then they looked, because you get information back, at how facebook served those ads up. And over 90 of those seeing the Nurse Ad were women and 96 of those seeing the Mechanic Ad were men. Slightly less pronounced for the pilots and psychologist ads, three quarters of those seeing the pilot ads were men and three quarters of those seeing the pshychologist ads were women. So, existing biases, perhaps, that would have been there in the way the ads would have been placed in the old days but magnified in this online era. The australian state of New South Wales has announced plans to relax covid restrictions by mid october, meaning sydneys cafes restaurants and pubs will be able to reopen, despite the city currently seeing near record levels of coronavirus infections. Authorities say the state should have 70 of its population double vaccinated by the second half of october, meaning the stay at Home Order can be lifted for the fully vaccinated. The announcement was made by the New South Wales State Premier a little earlier, Shaima Khalil has the details its obviously welcome news for sydneysiders and for the whole of New South Wales. I think the most significant thing to come out of the Press Conference of the New South Wales premier today, and she stands there every single day with those grim numbers of the cases rising in sydney and the rest of the state. Today, what she said was that people have to get used to living with the virus. This is a huge change of tack, notjust for New South Wales, but for the whole of australia. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the country has opted for an elimination strategy that is aiming for zero Covid 19 cases and this is through closed borders, heavy lockdowns when there are outbreaks and, of course, hotel quarantine. Then came the Delta Variant, and it changed everything. When that outbreak started in Mid June and the city went into lockdown, it proved extremely difficult to head for Covid 19 cases. The lockdowns kept getting extended, and weve just seen those cases rise every single day because of how infectious the Delta Variant is. And now, what were seeing is a change of direction. Instead of going for elimination, theyre going for vaccination. 70 Double Dose is that Magic Number that sydneysiders have to go for. Were now Up To 43 . And the projection is its going to be reached by mid october, and then those freedoms. So bars, restaurants, shops, schools will open, churches places of worship, that is. Big gatherings outside, Up To 20 people. People having visitors at home of Up To five people. All, of course, conditioned on the vaccination numbers. Now, remember, all of this is on the day where the state has recorded about more than 1,400 cases, more than 150 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. For australia, these are huge numbers. But those freedoms that have been announced were not conditioned President Obama promised to close it, Joe Biden called it an advertisement for terrorist groups, but the Guantanamo Bay Detention Centre is still open. Inside the camp are the five men accused of involvement in the 9 11 attacks. Now, 20 years on, they made their 42nd Appearance in court. Our North America Correspondent Aleem Maqbool was there. In a tiny corner of cuba, one notorious by product of the 9 11 attack still remains. Prisoners are still being held in limbo in Guantanamo Bay. Well, of course, the us authorities have allowed us to be here but they are extremely restrictive in controlling what we can show in terms of people and structures. They certainly have not allowed us near the Detention Facilities where the remaining prisoners are being held. Many of these original camps have been long abandoned. Now, 39 prisoners remain. Some were cleared for release as far back as 2010 but are still waiting to leave. Others have been designated forever prisoners because of the threat they are thought to pose. But ten have been charged and are due to face military trials. They include five men accused of involvement in the 9 11 attacks. For the first time in more than 18 months, those five men were in a courtroom together. We could not film it, of course, but we were in the gallery behind the glass when these men appeared for their Pre Trial hearing. Including, at the front here, that man with the ginger beard, which is khalid sheikh mohammed, the man who its believed conceived of the idea of the 9 11 attacks and took that idea to osama bin laden. The proceedings themselves were extremely slow. One of the main obstacles in terms of the arguments going forward is what evidence is admissible and what cannot be admitted because of torture. It is one of the reasons why the Family Members of victims of 9 11, some of whom were here in the gallery observing events, are unlikely to get a resolution in this case soon. People often ask, is there an end in sight, and for a long time there was not even a middle in sight. But now we are in the middle of the case, because wrestling on the question of the effect that torture has on admissibility of statements is the heart of the case. Mistakes of the past are having a bearing on the Search Forjustice now over 9 11. With no trial dates even having being set, the Detention Centre here looks no closer to shutting down. The bbc has learnt that theres been a significant increase in reports of Health Incidents affecting us spies and diplomats in recent months. Originally known as Havana Syndrome, due to where it was first recognised, officials say the condition has now spread beyond cuba to every continent. The symptoms include hearing strange sounds and a feeling of heat or pressure. Heres our security correspondent, gordon corera. Cheering and whistling in 2015, the us reopened its embassy in cuba, as relations between the countries were restored, but then something happened. Diplomats and spies began to hear sounds and fall ill with a mysterious illness that people struggled to explain what became known as Havana Syndrome. The Trump Administration announced friday that it is putting more than half of its staff out of the american embassy in havana. But it wasntjust havana. On a Trip To Moscow A year later, senior Cia Officer Marc polymeropolous says he suffered similar symptoms. It is real, we have to get our People Health Care and then we have to find out whos doing this because, as i have always contended, this is an act of war against us officials. Her flight was delayed for several hours because at least one us diplomat had to be medevaced. But some have questioned whether the syndrome is real, suggesting that the stress caused whats called a psychogenic illness of the mind, which is now spreading. When you see mass psychogenic illnesses, theres usually some stressful situation, an underlying situation. And of course, in the case of cuba and the embassy employees, particularly the cia agents, they certainly were in a stressful situation. In the last year, new evidence has emerged. That Led A Panel of scientists, sponsored by the state department, to conclude that pulsed microwaves were most likely responsible in at least some of the cases. For many of these people, real injury, Real Neurologic Injury took place. It took place through a mechanism that we cannot precisely pinpoint, but we think could be linked to this relatively unusual mechanism that really has not received a whole lot of Study Pulse Microwave energy. Definitive evidence of what started in cuba remains elusive. Some link it to electronic surveillance. Others, a weapon. But with cases now emerging in every continent, the biden administration has made solving this mystery a national security priority. The headlines on Bbc News the number of people in england waiting to start routine Nhs Treatment rises to a new record high. An independent report finds significant failures at a hospital for people with learning difficulties after three patients died. Staff at the now closed Cawston Park hospital, in norfolk, used excessive restraint and patients were overmedicated, investigators say. New tactics to deal with people crossing the English Channel in boats the uk Border Force is told that it can order boats to turn back to france. Restrictions on travel to and from the uk could ease later this month under plans to simplify the current Traffic Light System. The green and amber lists could be scrapped, meaning double vaccinated Holiday Makers could travel to countries with similar levels of vaccination as the uk without the need to quarantine. Those arriving in the uk from high risk destinations would still be required to isolate for ten days in a hotel. Aru na iyengar reports. If this is your idea of a dream holiday. Rather than this, things may be about to change. Travel bosses say Uk Holiday makers have been put off flying abroad because of uncertainty about sudden changes to the travel Traffic Light System, and the need for expensive Pcr Tests before arriving in the uk. At the moment, were in this bizarre position where the uk has the highest Infection Rates of any major european nation, and it also has the highest Barriers To Entry for people coming in. The government devised the travel Traffic Light System to limit transmission of Covid 19 from overseas, and protect against new variants. But now Business Leaders are demanding changes, saying the uk is out of step with the more liberal approach in the eu and us, where vaccinated travellers can fly with much more freedom. People clearly have the confidence in the rest of europe they are roaring ahead of us. Their industry has had more support and less barrier to trade and so will be in a much fitter state, come when the pandemic is over, to compete. Even if the green and amber categories are removed, the Red List of countries which the government says are too high risk to visit is set to remain. Returning from a red country will still mean isolating for ten days in a government approved hotel. That means many countries are still off limits including parts of latin america, africa, egypt, and turkey. The Travel Industry wants change as soon as possible it believes a relaxation in rules will lead to a booking surge, and protect the jobs of workers currently on furlough. That finishes at The End of this month, and coincides with these changes which are expected to be announced as part of the Governments Review of international travel due by the 1st of october. More victims of a Breast Implant Scandal will see a french Court Rule in the case of alleged negligence after a company was allowed to use industrial Grade Silicone in its implants. The German Firm Tuv reinland awarded a Safety Certificate to a french company using the faulty impants. Earlier this year, thousands of women affected, inlcuding more than 500 british women, were told they would receive compensation after a decade long legal battle. Tuv previously said it had acted diligently. Earlier, we spoke to catherine mcgarrell, a lawyer representing women in the pip Breast Implant Scandal. Were cautiously optimistic that the decision made today in toulon will be the right one, so the Hearing Today determines the cases in batch four, the so called tuv 4. There was already precedent set in may of this year in tuv 1, which was heard in the Court Of Appeal in paris and we hope for the same Success And Today that we did in the Court Of Appeal. Because the Silicon Compound within the implants wasnt refined to a medical standard, the Rupture Rate of these implants vastly increased. Now, these ruptures caused absolutely catastrophic injuries, they entered the lymph nodes in their arms and their necks, leaving them with permanently reduced movements, very unsightly lumps and permanent pain that can only be managed with painkillers. The injuries they were left with has, in their own words, left them deformed. And again, that is on top of the pain they still suffer. So, for the women within the tuv 4 batch, it will be a bittersweet victory. We still expect a long fight ahead with us with tuv. So far, Tuv Have refused to enter negotiations with ourselves or any other firm. Within the tuv 1 batch heard earlier this year, thats been ongoing since 2010. So we certainly hope that tuv 4 isnt going to go on as long as that, but it may well still.

Probably faring best late on in the sunshine will be south West England. Temperatures into the low 20s. The area of low pressure at the weekend moves eastwards. As it does so, the flow of hair starts to come down from the north or northwest. Not going to be cold as such but we will notice across much of the uk, things turning cooler and fresher. Taking a look at the day by day, a long spell of rain running across the north of scotland on saturday. Elsewhere, not as many showers but are scattering out there but more places to enhance.
