In reserve as a potential option, i am pleased to say we will not be going ahead with plans for Vaccine Passports.

The Anti Immigration Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor 0rban, meets Pope Francis in budapest. Britains18 year old Emma Raducanu has won the Us Open in one of the most dramatic victories in modern tennis. She beat19 year old Leylah Fernandez of canada in two sets 6 4, 6 3. Raducanu only made it into the tournament as a qualifier, but she won the title without dropping a single set. Shes the first british woman to win a grand Slam Singles Title in 44 years. Heres our sports correspondent, joe wilson. The borough of queens on a sunny day, and the extraordinary progress of one young woman. Shes been absolutely amazing this whole tournament. She has a lot of energy. Shes so composed and. Ruthless. Shes going to smash it. You know who theyre talking about. Well, there were two teenagers in the Us Open final canadian Leylah Fernandez at the top of the screen. As early as the second game, we saw intense rallies and we saw Emma Raducanu prevailing here. Both players settled immediately to display a full range of their abilities. Points were hard earned, skilfully won. Nerves . No sign. Two things were clear. We had a final worthy of the occasion, and raducanu had the first set, 6 4. She was broken early in the second set, broke back like that. Now fernandez was struggling to hold her serve. 44 years of waiting, one hour 51 on court. And one more serve. It is right to realise what this means for british tennis, but also for world tennis. It was an outstanding match, an astounding champion. Really, its yours its all yours. These images will be the posters and the posts displayed for decades. If the point of sport is to uplift and amaze, Emma Raducanu is already at the pinnacle. Joe wilson, bbc news.

But anything that comes my way im ready to deal with it, and ive got great people around me to take me through these moments and they got me here, and, yeah, im very excited to celebrate with them later and also go home and see everyone back home. What was it like to receive a message from the queen . It meant everything to get a message from her majesty. She is such a great Inspiration And Role model for the whole country, so to have a note from her, i was extremely honoured and very, very grateful that she took notice of my tennis. I cant believe it, im maybe going to frame that letter or something. The last time i spoke to you on monday, i asked how you celebrate and you said frozen yoghurt. Whats the flavourfor winning a championship . Flavour doesnt change imean. Its chocolate with more chocolate and some chocolate brownie. I mean, im one of those. They laugh. So. The last week we havent managed to, actually, because of late finishes, but tonight, i am sure we will go to town on everything. They laugh. 0ur sports reporter, laura scott, visited bromley tennis club, where Emma Raducanu trained for years. She watched the match with players and fans and find out what it means to win. Seeing their Home Grown Stars seal the most extraordinary of triumphs, elation for emma erupted. Cheering. She hasjust done cheering. She has just done the world on the iconic courts of Flushing Meadows, but it was here at Park Langley Club in beckenham that is a six year old she studied the work that led to Grand Slam glory. Those who had seen the first signs of her potential could barely believe it. The grind of bein a could barely believe it. The grind of being a tennis could barely believe it. The grind of being a tennis coach, of being a tennis coach, strengthening and conditioning coach, it is tough, and moments like this make it all worth it. This make it all worth it.

For those involved in growing the sport, it is notjust an exciting moment, but a crucial one. Laura scott, bbc news, bromley. The government has scrapped plans to introduce Vaccine Passports in england just days after saying they would be going ahead in nightclubs and other large events at The End of the month. The Health Secretary, sajid javid, said the scheme would instead be kept as a potential option for the future. Speaking to the bbc, mrjavid said he also wanted to get rid of Pcr Tests for foreign travel. This report from our political correspondent, ione wells, contains flashing images. No jab, no entry. That was the message ministers sent last week, saying Vaccine Passports in england would be needed for venues like nightclubs at The End of this month. If you look at what has happened in other countries, where nightclubs were opening and then shutting again, Opening And Shutting again, its that we want to Opening And Shutting again, its that. We want to avoid that disruption. We will almost certainly be doing it for nightclubs. We will make a determination i as to whether we need to move more broadly than that. Today, a change of tune from the Health Secretary, sajid javid, who said, while the plans will be kept in reserve, they wont go ahead at The End of the month. What i can say is we have looked at it properly and, whilst we should keep it in reserve as a potential option, im pleased to say we will not be going ahead with plans for Vaccine Passports. Labour dont look set to oppose the decision, with shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth saying they would rather see an emphasis on ventilating spaces. I think the problem with Vaccine Passports is people thought that was the key to everything, but the point about nightclubs and crowded events is you have to have other measures in place, theyve got to be well ventilated, you have got to have clean air and it is one of the things we have been arguing for months now, especially when it comes to schools, to put the clean Air Facilities in place. In scotland, people will need proof they have been fully vaccinated to enter nightclubs and other large events from the 1st Of October and, in wales, a decision is expected next week. The Prime Minister will announce his covid Winter Plan for england on tuesday, outlining plans for boosterjabs and also contingencies that could be needed if the nhs risks being overwhelmed, such as the use of face coverings. But the Direction Of Travel is clear. Sajid javid has said he wants to get rid of Pcr Tests for double jabbed travellers as soon as possible and he said he didnt see how we could get to another lockdown in england. While he stressed it would be irresponsible to take everything off the table, he was clear ministers want life to return to normal as soon as possible. Ione wells, bbc news. Stevejones is the General Manager for Revenge Bar and club in brighton and hejoins us now. Thank you for being with us today, steve. Presumably you are celebrating this news . Yeah, there is a sense of celebrating this news . Yeah, there is a sense of relief, celebrating this news . Yeah, there is a sense of relief, definitely. Celebrating this news . Yeah, there is a sense of relief, definitely. I is a sense of relief, definitely. I think many people in the industry so this U Turn coming and for the last couple of months we have been. Looking at how practically it can go ahead. Companies like music venues trust, which do fantastic work for independent venues, including Night Clubs around the country, have been asking the government for the past months how is this going to work and how is this vexing Passport System going to go ahead anyway that doesnt discriminate people . So we anticipated quite early on that this was a bit of a tactic to get more 1825 was a bit of a tactic to get more 18 25 Year Olds to get double jabbed. 1825 yearolds to get double abbed. ,. ,. , jabbed. How much Guidance And Communication jabbed. How much Guidance And Communication was jabbed. How much Guidance And Communication was that jabbed. How much Guidance And Communication was that given i jabbed. How much guidance and | communication was that given to jabbed. How much Guidance And Communication was that given to the industry about which direction this was going on . Did you have, you know, an indication before or was this a complete surprise . This know, an indication before or was this a complete surprise . This a complete surprise . As with Eve Hinu this a complete surprise . As with everything in this a complete surprise . As with everything in the this a complete surprise . As with everything in the pandemic, this a complete surprise . As with everything in the pandemic, it. This a complete surprise . As with everything in the pandemic, it is| everything in the pandemic, it is the first we have heard about it is when we see it on a news app. We have had very little consultation. There does seem to be a real lack of understanding from government officials about how the Hospitality Industry works and nightclubs in particular seem to have been scapegoated above any other type of Venue Or Hospitality activity. You know, we were the first to close when we went into lockdown and we will be the last to reopen if we ever go into lockdown again, so there does definitely need to be more consultation with the nightlife industry, so they can get a greater understanding of the things we are already doing to keep People Safe. That is what i think is missing. Hagar that is what i think is missing. How much preparation that is what i think is missing. How much preparation have you put in place, you know, pre empting there being a vexing Passport Scheme . I mean, we have got the staff that we need to, and i think that was always going to be the biggest extra cost, the additional members of staff it would take to get 500 or 600 people through a venue, or less People Incident of the smaller grassroots the news. You know, checking Vaccination Status, first of all i think it is open to abuse. It is not that difficult to fake your Vaccination Status or Screen Shot someone elses or share it, so we have put some plans in place, but as with everything we have been waiting for official Government Guidance and we were always anticipating it would be a very last Minute Thing anyway. So people wont need a vexing passport to get into a nightclub, but what measures are there to keep People Safe and to minimise the risk of covid spreading among well, in the lack of any proper Government Guidance on this, different venues are taking different strategies, which i think is confusing people as well because you can dip between two or three different venues in one night and have very different requirements for entry, so at revenge we are strongly encouraging people to get their second jab if they are able to. We people to get their second ab if they are able Mi People to get their second ab if they are able to. We are also asking them to do they are able to. We are also asking them to do a they are able to. We are also asking them to do a negative they are able to. We are also asking them to do a negative lateral they are able to. We are also asking them to do a negative lateral flow. Them to do a negative lateral Flow Test before they come to the venue. Again, practically we dont think its is sensible for us to be checking every person every night they open, so we are kind of leaving it to customers and showing them what we think is the right way to do things, but again unless there is a uniform approach across the entire industry people are confused and understandably so. Molar industry people are confused and understandably so. Industry people are confused and understandably so. Now the pandemic has been particularly understandably so. Now the pandemic has been particularly difficult understandably so. Now the pandemic has been particularly difficult for has been particularly difficult for nightclubs and it comes to its impact on businesses and, as you mention, nightclubs were among the first to close and be last reopen. How do you feel about your livelihood, your business, as we Approach Winter and the prospect of rising covid cases . Yes. Approach winter and the prospect of rising covid cases . Rising covid cases . Yes, we are all uuite rising covid cases . Yes, we are all quite nervous. Rising covid cases . Yes, we are all quite nervous, to rising covid cases . Yes, we are all quite nervous, to be rising covid cases . Yes, we are all quite nervous, to be honest, rising covid cases . Yes, we are all. Quite nervous, to be honest, because as you say if there are any other further restrictions i suspect nightclubs will be the first to suffer. The thing with nightclubs is you just cant have any real restrictions in place. It doesnt work with wearing masks, social distancing, so yes, we are worried and particularly worried because of the lack of support that has come in the lack of support that has come in the first few knockdowns. We did get some financial support, but it certainly did not cover the huge financial losses we have made and it wasnt really in until six or seven months into the lockdown that nightclubs were a Priority Worth considering, so we are going to put our best foot forward and should continue to try to keep staff and customers safe and cross our fingers we can stay open for the winter because clearly it is not sustainable for us to go through this cycle every single winter where businesses just have to close for a few months a year because businesses just would not survive. Just would not survive. Thank you, Steve James just would not survive. Thank you, Steve James there, just would not survive. Thank you, Steve James there, Business Just would not survive. Thank you, Steve James there, Business And L just would not survive. Thank you, i Steve James there, Business And Bar Steve James there, Business And Bar owner. That was stevejones. The tuc has warned that up to 660,000 jobs could be at risk, if the uk fails to reach net zero Carbon Emissions as quickly as other countries. As its annual conference gets underway, unions are particularly concerned about heavy industries like steel. The government said it doesnt recognise the tuc� s figures, and said it would cut Carbon Emissions by almost 80 by 2035. Our business correspondent, katie prescott, reports. Making steel can be a dirty business, but there are ways around it. In sweden, they are using new technology to produce steel without using coal. Workers in Blast Furnaces like this one fear that, if the uk doesnt go the same way, they could lose theirjobs. The whole infrastructure needs looking at and it all needs to be coordinated. People are thinking, where i going to be working . Where am i going to be working . What is going to happen to the plant that i work in at this moment in time and what does the future look like . There is no doubt that industry will have to undergo a Green Revolution and that will inevitably have an impact on jobs, butjust how severe that impact will be will depend on how its planned and, of course, how its paid for at a time when there are already so demands on the public purse. So many demands on the public purse. As this years trades Union Congress gets underway, it is the major talking point. Companies are going to think about locating in countries where they get support from their government to make those adaptations, to invest in the new technology, to think about how you produce those currently heavy carbon goods in a low carbon way, and that is why the Uk Government needs to step up so that our businesses can compete. The government says that the tuc� S Claims are untrue, saying the uk has grown its economy by 78 while cutting emissions by 44 over the past three decades. And it launched an independent Task Force to develop plans for good quality Green Jobs by 2030. Many say the move to a green economy, handled well, brings opportunities. If we can move people toward safer, healthier, better rewarded Remunerated Careers with better well being, that may leave some of thosejobs behind, that is probably, on balance, a good thing. The challenge is building a low Carbon Future that includes industry and workers. Something else for next months budget. Katie prescott, bbc news. The headlines on bbc news. Emma raducanu makes history at the Us Open, beating Leylah Fernandez to become the first british woman to win a Grand Slam singles final in 44 years. The uks Health Secretary says the government will not introduce Vaccine Passports in england, ahead of plans to protect the nhs from rising covid cases this winter. The Anti Immigration Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor 0rban, meets Pope Francis in budapest. Lets go to sport now for a full round up. 0nly lets go to sport now for a full round up. Only one Sporting Achievement Top and everyones mans at The Moment, isnt there . I Achievement Top and everyones mans at The Moment, isnt there . At The Moment, isnt there .

I know, we have been talking about it all we have been talking about it all night long and i still cant believe what happened last night, it didnt feel will this morning, i had to check my phone to check it wasnt a dream. We will go into the tennis, but first. Both of the formula i Championship Leaders are out of the italian Grand Prix after a dramatic start in monza. Max verstappen started from Pole Lewis Hamilton in fourth. But as hamilton was returning to the track from the pit lane, he and verstappen collided the Red Bull going right over the top of hamiltons mercedes. The Safety Halo around the cockpit prevented any serious injury to hamilton both drivers out of their cars safely, but furiously. Daniel riccardo currently leads from lando norris. We will keep you updated on that one over the course of the afternoon. All day weve been reflecting on Emma Raducanus incredible win at the Us Open, but there have been more british History Makers at Flushing Meadows Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett have become the first men to win all four Wheelchair Slam double titles in the same year, they beat Gustavo Fernandez and Shingo Kunieda 6 2, 6 1 in the Us Open final. And Joe Salisbury has become the first briton to win two Doubles Titles at a Grand Slam in the open era, after winning the Mixed Doubles Title at the Us Open, a day after winning the mens doubles. Salisbury and american partner Desirae Krawczyk beat mexicos Giuliana 0lmos and el salvador� s Marcelo Arevalo 7 5, 6 2 at Flushing Meadows. It was just pure emotion, i it wasjust pure emotion, i guess. Just a joy and excitement. Yeah, a bit of disbelief. But yeah, i walked away and said i wasnt really thinking anything, i wasjust enjoying The Moment. It thinking anything, i was ust enjoying The Moment. It has been a re enjoying The Moment. It has been a pretty good enjoying The Moment. It has been a pretty good topple enjoying The Moment. It has been a pretty good couple of enjoying The Moment. It has been a pretty good couple of days, enjoying The Moment. It has been a pretty good couple of days, Hasnt L pretty good couple of days, hasnt it, for british tennis . So history made for Gordon Reid, Alfie Hewitt and Emma Raducanu and there could be more record breaking in New York later when Novak Djokovic takes on russias Danil Medvedev in the mens final aiming to become the first man in 52 years to complete the calendar Grand Slam. Thejob is not done. Excitement is there, motivation is there, without a doubt. Probably more than ever. But i have one more to go. It is going to be a battle against another guy who has been in tremendous form, medvedev. He has won a lot of matches on Hard Court so far. He has already got a couple of Grand Slam finals behind him, so i think experience wise it is different now. I am sure he is going to give it all to win it. It all to win it. Away from the tennis in the wsl, reigning champions chelsea made up for their Opening Day Loss with a 4 0 thrashing of everton, Fran Kirby opened the scoring before two goals from Sam Kerr gave The Blues a 3 0 lead. Beth england then rounded off the match after erin cuthbert� s chance rebounded off the post. A second 4 0 defeat for everton but a massive improvement for emma hayes� side. I think we should have scored more goals. If you think about it on the balance of play for us to come in 10 at balance of play for us to come in 1 0 at half time i thought was disappointing. But i thought we were composed, delighted we kept a clean sheet and we defended properly as a collective. Going forward we have plenty of options under the composure amongst the group is growing at like i said it is early days. Elsewhere in the wsl. Brighton are 4 0 up away at birmingham, Manchester United are ahead at Leicester And Arsenal have a 4 0 lead over reading. The late game sees Manchester City take on tottenham hotspur. Leeds united and liverpool meet in the days only game in the Premier League that kicks off in just over an hour at elland road. Both clubs were boosted by the News Yesterday that their brazilian contingent of players will be eligible to play after controversy over whether or not they should travel to join up with brazils national team. The sides drew i i towards The End of last Season And Liverpool Managerjurgen Klopp is expecting another tough test today. The game itself is already tricky. In the last two games we played against them, so the first time for me playing leeds and it was really exciting, both games, so they have a specific way of playing football obviously, of playing the game, with a strict man marking Philosophy Or Idea in defending. They are very, very flexible and very brave, dynamic in possession, so it is a really good Football Team and yeah, we have to be at our best to get something there. There was just one game in the scottish Premiership Today as hearts took On Hibernian in the edinburgh derby. Either side could have gone top of the league with a win but instead played out a goalless draw. Both sides maintain their unbeaten start to the season and remain level on points. After three days in the Leaders Jersey Ethan Hayter was denied overall victory on the final stage of the tour of britain. After more than four hours of racing it culminated with a Sprint Finish in aberdeen. Belgiums Wout Van Art won it to overturn a four second deficit to the briton who could only finish iith. Thats all the sport for now. Back to you. Thank you. Pope francis has had a brief meeting in hungary with the countrys Prime Minister, Viktor 0rban. The two men have radically different interpretations of what constitutes a christian approach to migration. The pontiff has severely criticised the reluctance of some European Leaders to take in refugees, but Mr 0rban says hes defending christian europe. 0ur Central Europe correspondent, nick thorpe, is in budapest. Ahead of this visit, both sides the vatican and the hungarian government were keen to smooth over any differences. The vatican stressed that this is, above all, a spiritual visit for the pope to celebrate mass in Heroes Square in hungary for Tens Of Thousands of christians, especially catholics from around the world, the Closing Event, the climax of a week of the Eucharistic Congress, only held every four years. From the hungarian governments side, the government has been keen to stress it is a great honour to have the pope in hungary even for such a short visit, but of course behind the scenes, there are huge differences between the two men. While the pope, from the start of his papacy, has stressed the need for europe, for christians in particular, to welcome people of other faiths, to help those in need, those fleeing from war and violence, Asylum Seekers and refugees, whereas Viktor 0rban, as the head of the hungarian government, especially since 2015, has set himself up as a champion, as he puts it, of christian europe, of trying to keep europe as it is, and often that seems to be an anti islamic, anti muslim message. You also have a situation where, just six months ahead of the hungarian elections, this visit is very interesting to both sides, both to the government side, with Viktor 0rban welcoming the pope and really seeking in some way some sort of support from the pope for his own policies in defence of christian europe, in defence of persecuted christians around the world, whereas the more liberal opposition here seeing this as a liberal pope, really, and there have been posters going up all Over Budapest welcoming the pope as a champion of human dignity, human rights, of civil rights. So very different views here. The two men only had half an hour or so of talks before the meetings went ahead with the hungarian bishops, with people of other faiths and then of course the big mass, the Closing Event of the Eucharistic Congress in budapest, and the pope then, after this, on his way to slovakia for this longer three day trip. Nick thorpe reporting there. A team at Cranfield University is competing in an international competition to develop a robot that does the shopping in supermarkets. It sounds straightforward enough, doesnt it . But identifying different objects by sight and picking them up neatly is actually quite a challenge in robotics. Heres our science correspondent, richard westcott. In a nervous corner of an Aircraft Hangar in bedfordshire, a team is competing in a three day global competition, to programme a robot to identify and then move some shopping. Not as easy as you might think. It is all a bit tense because they are actually doing the Competition Run now. It is being watched in italy. Keeping an eye on us via live Video Link are judges and other competing teams at the main event in bologna. And we have the overview here, where we have already the Robot Standing and looking into the container. 13 international teams are competing in this competition. Six of them remotely, including cranfield. Gilbert, that was very expertly done, but the reality is a child could do that. Why is it so hard for a robot to do it . Something that seems so easy for us humans to do is actually extremely complicated for robots because firstly the robot will have to be able to see the item through its camera. Secondly, it will have to process the image using some really clever algorithm to identify what type of object it is, what orientation the object has been placed in, and then secondly, doing some calculation in orderfor the Robot Arm to be able to identify the correct position to then grab onto it using its fingers. Has it been good fun . Yeah, i would say it was great fun and challenging in the meantime, and we learned a lot during this process, and yeah, i think everybody is quite happy to get involved with this. So theres quite a Big Push at The Moment for human robot interaction, so caregiving robots in hospitals, and care homes, so maybe for people who are lonely and dont have anybody to visit them. Some of the money for the team comes from a big company whose future will rely on this kind of technology. Certainly with the high level skills, we find difficult in recruiting. Theres a shortage, there is high demand because lots of industries are now going for this level of robotics. So being engaged in these competitions allows us to keep in touch with the Recruitment Pipeline and some of the excellent research that is going on. A bit of Talent Spotting . Definitely. Robots are the future, but programming them to be as good as humans at some tasks is still many years away. Richard westcott, bbc news, cranfield in bedfordshire. Safe from the Robot Apocalypse for now now its time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. Hello. Well, a decent enough day for many of us today, but certainly not the case in wales and parts of South Western england. Some quite heavy rain here affecting coastal areas, but particularly around wales. Some of that rain also moving into the midlands through the second half of the day. Quite fresh in the north, only 12 degrees in aberdeen. At least it is dry here with some sunshine. 22 in the south this evening. This rain is very slow moving, quite a compact area of rain affecting wales and parts of the midlands through the night. Dry tonight across scotland and northern ireland, around 6 10 celsius. Still mild in the south at around iii. So another cloudy and damp, if not wet at times, picture in the South West of the uk on monday. Some of that rain will move around the Irish Sea as well, but generally speaking the north, east and the far south remains dry through monday. Goodbye
