Emma raducanu, with the world, at her feet. Good evening, and welcome to News/bbc-News'>Bbc News. All 12 to 15 year olds in the uk are set to be offered a dose of the pfizer coronaNews/virus-'>Virus vaccine. The uks four Chief Medical Officers say that the move takes into account the impact of the pandemic on childrens� education, as well as the risk to their News/mental-health'>Mental Health, if they should have to miss school. Earlier this month, though, the body advising the government said that it couldnt recommend vaccinating healthy 12 to 15 year olds, News/on-grounds'>On Grounds of health alone. Three million children could now be eligible for the jab. Heres our medical editor, fergus walsh. There is a new formula for vaccination. Ten days ago, the scientists on News/thejcvi-advisory-committee'>Thejcvi Advisory Committee said there were only marginal health benefits from immunising all 12 to 15 year olds. Now the uks four top doctors have concluded the wider benefits for education and News/mental-health'>Mental Health make giving a single dose the right answer. Englands Chief Medical Officer chris whitty, a pivotalfigure in the pandemic, said vaccination would help prevent disruption to learning. We do not think that this is a panacea, it is not a silver bullet, it is not a single thing that, on its own, will do so but we think it is an important and potentially useful additional tool to help reduce the public health impacts that come through educational disruptions. Isnt there a danger that many parents, and indeed children, are going to be left confused, after thejcvi didnt recommend vaccines for this age group, and now you are . In medicine, you have to take factors into account, some of which are very direct, and some of which are broader, and that is a pretty standard way of approaching risk and benefit. So we would see this as not in conflict. If you measure that angle there. Like schools across the uk, News/st-margarets'>St Margarets academy in liverpool has faced huge disruption over the pandemic. At some point, more than half its 1,000 pupils have been self isolating, rather than in class. So they support todays decision. Its been very, very difficult. The sooner we can get back to the routine of everybody coming into school without the disruption caused by the News/virus-'>Virus, the better, l and this is a major step in helping us do that. L the decision on vaccinating News/three-million'>Three Million 12 to 15 year olds is a balance of risks versus benefits. Theres thought to be a risk of between three and 17 cases of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, for every million receiving a single dose of the pfizer vaccine. The symptoms, which can also be triggered by covid, include chest pain, shortness of breath and palpitations. But these are mostly mild and short lived. As for covid, healthy children are at extremely low risk of serious illness. Only two in News/a-million'>A Million end up in News/intensive-care'>Intensive Care after infection. After so much News/toing-and-froing'>Toing And Froing on this issue, what do parents make of it . Weve got a daughter who is nearly 1a, so we have no problem with getting her vaccinated. Im not sure, i really dont know. At the moment, id probably say no. Its a contentious issue but i think it should be compulsory to have l vaccinations across all age groups. Like healthy 16 to 17 year olds, the 12 to 15s will be offered only a single dose of vaccine at this stage. Government scientists think this will be enough to significantly reduce outbreaks in schools and get education back on track. Fergus walsh, News/bbc-News'>Bbc News. Lets speak to our political correspondent, peter saull.

Now, ministers have been pretty clear in recent days that whatever the Chief Medical Officers of the four nations recommend, they will go along with it, so the expectation is that no zaha will give the green light for 12 to 15 year olds to be offered that single dose, as you head in the report there, that single dose, as you head in the report there, the coronaNews/virus-'>Virus vaccine, and we are told that News/the-nhs'>The Nhs is ready to go, and so that News/the-nhs'>The Nhs is ready to go, and so that immediate News/vaccine-roll'>Vaccine Roll out for teenagers look set to get under way fairly imminently.

So you would expect the government to follow the same kind of ordering that they did earlier on in the roll out, starting out with the older age groups, more vulnerable cohorts are people too, before working their way down through the age groups. But a lot of that detail we do not have yet. The confirmation we expect to come in the commons again tomorrow lunchtime from the News/health-secretary'>Health Secretary sajid javid, and then borisjohnson will follow that up with a News/News-conference'>News Conference from News/downing-street'>Downing Street at some point tomorrow afternoon. Thank ou. The governments latest coronaNews/virus-'>Virus figures show there were 30,825 new infections recorded, in the latest 24 hour period, which means an average of over 34,521 new cases per day in the last week. As of last friday, there were more than 8,200 people in hospital with the News/virus-'>Virus. 61 deaths were reported in the latest 2a hour period, thats of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid 19 test, and thats an average of 1111 deaths per day, in the last week. Looking at vaccinations now, just over 89 of people aged 16 or over, have had their first jab. And 81 have been double vaccinated. Think back to spring this year. If you do travel from certain countries on the News/red-list'>Red List can you had to quarantine in hotel when you landed. Most other travellers had to isolate at home for ten days. Like henrik.

Then they might have had a visit from police or from a private firm employed by the News/home-office'>Home Office to ramp up employed by the News/home-office'>Home Office to ramp up these checks will stop the government says most people were found to be self isolating, but it hasnt provided a figure or set how many people couldnt be traced at all. In a statement, the government said the News/home-office'>Home Office looks to visit all individuals referred to us by News/nhs-test'>Nhs Test and trace who are required to isolate at home, following international travel. Long standing critics of the government has much broader policy says it demonstrates weaknesses in the system during the period the News/delta-variant'>Delta Variant took cold in the uk. This shows that the problems with the News/home-quarantine-system'>Home Quarantine System and, also, the failure to put india on the News/red-list'>Red List early enough together made it much easier for the News/delta-variant'>Delta Variant to spread, before the vaccines were fully rolled out. Thats what led us then to the third wave and the big delays in being able to lift lockdown restrictions. International travel is building up again, and with the News/virus-'>Virus still circulating around the globe, there will be questions about the governments approach, not least if another variant takes off. Alex forsyth, News/bbc-News'>Bbc News. In the largest News/clinical-trial'>Clinical Trial of its kind, a new News/blood-test'>Blood Test, that can detect more than 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear, is beginning in parts of england. The aim is to recruit 140,000 volunteers, rising to News/a-million'>A Million, in 2024, for whats being described as a revolutionary new way to treat cancer. Our health correspondent, News/dominic-hughes'>Dominic Hughes has the details. Has a doctor ever told you that you have cancer . No. In a News/retail-park'>Retail Park in runcorn, in cheshire, one of the worlds largest News/clinical-trial'>Clinical Trials is getting under way. The first of thousands of volunteers are giving News/blood-samples'>Blood Samples to be tested for the presence of tiny traces of dna linked to tumours, a warning of News/future-'>Future disease. Volunteers like stewart, a serving fire brigade officer. It seemed a good opportunity to actually become involved with something. Sadly, most of us are touched by cancer at some time in our lives and i thought, well, actually, early detection is one thing that is going to help in our armoury against that. Detecting and treating cancer early is the key to a successful recovery. Some cancers, like those of the head and neck, or of the pancreas, are hard to spot in the early stages. This News/blood-test'>Blood Test could help and avoid invasive procedures like biopsies. Theres a lot of potential here that it could detect not only a range of different cancers, but potentially some of them at an earlier stage, but its crucial that we actually do now test the research on a much bigger scale, in this research trial, and work out whether it can detect cancer earlier. For years, scientists have been trying to develop a simple News/blood-test'>Blood Test that could detect cancers before any symptoms became obvious, but they really struggled, because the tests just werent accurate enough. There were either too many false positives or false negatives. Now, though, they think they have made a real breakthrough. So, technology is really whats made the difference here. First of all, we need to be able to detect really minute quantities of dna in our blood, and our ability to do that has improved markedly over the last several years. The second thing is the power of modern computing, really. So weve looked at data from News/tens-of-thousands'>Tens Of Thousands of people and weve used that data to really optimise the test. This is just the start of a News/clinical-trial'>Clinical Trial, but if the promise of this simple test is fulfilled, it could mark the beginning of a revolution in cancer treatment.

Andrew neil was so much more than just neil was so much more than just another presenter on News/gb-News'>Gb News. I mean, he was the face of News/gb-News'>Gb News, he was the lead presenter, he was the chairman of News/gb-News'>Gb News, he was the one who set the Editorial Direction of this entire new channel, which he said was all about challenging the metropolitan mindset and representing views, people and stories that were not being represented, he said, by other News/News-channel'>News Channels, notably of course the bbc and sky. It was a channel very much based around one mans vision, and then after just based around one mans vision, and then afterjust eight shows, he goes on holiday, and notjust a holiday, but a holiday that lasts for months, and of course there were questions immediately as to what was going on behind the scenes. Now, when it started, there were a few technical issues, certainly, and there were also the teething problems you get with any channel, but its audience at the News/beginning-wasnt'>Beginning Wasnt too bad. It was certainly challenging News/bbc-News'>Bbc News and News/sky-News'>Sky News at the time on some of its programmes, but a great deal has changed while he has been away. Perhaps most notably, if you want to talk about personalities, the arrival of News/nigel-farage'>Nigel Farage in the evening who is now pretty much getting their best audiences.

Seems to be a view that we will go for News/nigel-farage'>Nigel Farage and that audience.

One programme got the dreaded zero rating for a while, and colin brazier, who has been filling in for News/andrew-neil'>Andrew Neil over the last few weeks, if you look at the viewing figures, there are some nights where it has dropped below 10,000, so an issue there that something needs to be done, and they certainly looked at a view of lets see what our News/core-audience'>Core Audience, their core values are and lets talk to them and give them exactly what they want, rather than may be talking to this broader audience.

It used to be the home of resistance, but this now appears futile. People have locked their doors and fled and thats not surprising, when people are being shot dead on the side of the street. The bbc has verified this video, which you may find distressing. Here, a man in military clothes is dragged away. It is unclear whether he was in the army. This is common dress in the valley. Voices are raised. Seconds later, he is shot several times and killed. We are not showing you those images. A bystander insists the man they have just killed was not in the military.

If they are shopkeepers, they can go to their shops. If they are farmers, they can go to their farms. We are here to protect them, their lives and their families. But these pictures show that people are not waiting to see if the taliban keep their promises. With telecommunications cut in the valley, it is hard to get information out.

The pressure group, Insulate Britain, wants the government to step up efforts to insulate homes in order to help combat global warming. Heres our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt. Just after 8am, a small group of protesters run onto a News/slip-road'>Slip Road onto the m25, obstructing traffic. There were similar blockades at four otherjunctions. The action caused long tailbacks on britains busiest motorway. At one point, the protesters from a group called Insulate Britain sat down on the motorway itself. They claim the action was justified because it draws attention to what they say is the urgent need for the government to improve insulation in News/uk-homes'>Uk Homes to reduce carbon emissions. Thats what gives us the right, is when our government is not doing itsjob properly. And thats what were asking boris to do, is to get on with the job and Insulate Britain. One motorist tried to take matters into his own hands, before thinking better of it. Others were more reflective. Its not the right way to do it, but. Theyve got the right to do it. In this country, weve got the right to, you know, with freedom of speech, theyve got the right to do it. Ridiculous, i think its a load of rubbish myself, really. I think theres other ways of doing it. The government says it is headed in the right direction, with plans to spend 1. 3 billion on News/energy-efficiency'>Energy Efficiency measures this year, but the climate News/change-committee'>Change Committee its own advisers on climate matters says it needs to find between £3 4 Billion every year to help households, to meet its own targets on cutting emissions.

In november, crucial talks on Climate Change will take place in glasgow, as the world comes together to discuss making the transition, from fossil fuels, to a zero carbon economy. That will involve newjobs in green industries. In the uk there are currently 410,000, with the the government hoping for Two Million by 2030. But Trade Unions say many more could be created much more quickly, and theyre warning that britain could lose out to other countries. So what are green jobs . Heres our science editor, david shukman. There are jobs that hardly existed a generation ago. Bridey is learning to maintain Wind Turbines, paul makes Heat Pumps to replace gas boilers, and beth is at work on a futuristic farm. All three are zero carbon to help with Climate Change. I think for my generation, its a huge deal, like, its affecting us now. Were starting to see the problems that the Climate Change is causing now, with the Ice Caps Melting and the world heating, and all of these deadlines being set by the government. Things have to happen now. In the purple light of her vertical farm, beth explains how the waters recycled, the crops are sold locally and the power is solar from panels on the roof, in this Industrial Estate in scunthorpe. This is the News/future-'>Future. If you can grow stuff thats supposed to grow in italy here in the uk, you can grow it anywhere in the world. You can grow it in the middle east, in africa. And then you cut out all of the transportation, so. Youre saving money, time, resources. And carbon, i reckon. And carbon, a lot of carbon. Youre not flying basil all over the world. Paul mcgoogan reckons hes also in an industry of the News/future-'>Future. The Heat Pumps being made here in News/livingston-release'>Livingston Release no carbon. And for him, a Green Career is safe. Me and my girlfriend, weve just bought a new home, and News/the-next-step'>The Next Step for us is hopefully to start a family. So knowing that we are doing our bit in this company to create a better, brighter News/future-'>Future, more sustainable News/future-'>Future for my family and for generations to come is a big deal to me. So now, were just checking to see if theres any power coming in. I as an apprentice, bridey is getting ready to join the offshore wind industry. From grimsby, News/shell-head'>Shell Head out to the News/north-sea'>North Sea to the giant turbines there, rather than to the Fishing Grounds that once made her News/home-town'>Home Town famous. Its really nice to see that growing from fishing to engineering, and from kind of an old industry to a renewable green one thats definitely, yeah, taking the News/future-'>Future by charge. What, for you, is the attraction of working out at sea on these immense Wind Turbines . I mean, the News/north-sea'>North Sea, i dont think many people romanticise the News/north-sea'>North Sea, but on a quiet day, when the suns rising, i think one could certainly do that. So i cant wait, itll be great. So there are new green opportunities, and theyre essential for the uk to go to zero carbon and well soon see if enough are being created to make that a reality. David shukman, News/bbc-News'>Bbc News. The Cop26 Climate Conference which gets under way in glasgow in november will see the biggest ever deployment of armed police in scotland. Hundreds of officers trained in firearms will be backed up by an unspecified number from other uk forces. Senior officers say theres no intelligence of a specific threat from terrorism but thats being monitored constantly as the event draws closer. David cowan has more.

Clearly there is a massive amount of security provided of state, World Leaders and obviously all the delegates but there is no specific threat to the event at the moment. The Training Centres are worst case scenarios. But in a country generally unaccustomed to armed police their mere presence can be intimidating. We give them extra training for the armed capability but i would encourage the members of the public to approach the officers and speak to them as normal News/police-officer'>Police Officers.

The leader of the tuc says the uk must be better prepared for News/future-'>Future economic shocks like the News/covid-pandemic'>Covid Pandemic saying it wont be a one off. Frances ogrady has challenged the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister to deliver on his promises to Level Up Britain. Our News/business-correspondent'>Business Correspondent News/ben-thompson'>Ben Thompson has more. She highlights some of the problems that have been made worse through covid, but also those that were there already that maybe have got a little worse, too. She says the pandemic must be a catalyst for change. She says we must be prepared for crises in News/future-'>Future. She says covid is not going to be a one off. She also talks about things like Climate Change, that race to zero emissions, that if we dont take those targets seriously, they will get worse, and there will be a bigger problem. She also talks about new technology, wonderful, all these new machines and computers that can do jobs. They are a risk to jobs and she says we mustnt squander those benefits and that workers must feel the benefit, maybe in shorter hours or higher pay, notjust big profits for the organisations investing in technology. Also some warning for the government as far as tax is concerned, take a listen. Now ministers tell us they are going to Level Up Britain but Leveling Up means nothing if they freeze workers pay, universal credit and a number of kids in poverty sores. So i have a challenge with the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister. If Leveling Up means anything it must mean Leveling Up at work and Leveling Up living standards. Also a warning not to raise taxes on business. She says how business deliver the jobs and the growth moving again do not burden them with extra taxes. And particularly as far as that national insurance rises concern. Particularly, as far as that national insurance raises concern. She says that is another hit to young people and those on lower wages. She talks about those recent News/hgv-driver'>Hgv Driver shortages we have been talking about, says it is a direct consequence of poor pay and poor working conditions for drivers, meaning they are not entering the industry and causing so many supply problems. They are proposing the solution would be a capital gains tax, a tax on wealth, rather than lower paid people. She says that could be enough to pay for social care that we have heard the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister telling us is so desperately needed. She said the benefit of not taxing lower paid workers too is that people will tend to spend that money on the local high street, in the local economy, so we all see a direct benefit, because she suggest those on the highest income that are not being taxed on their wealth, may be called that money elsewhere we dont see the benefit in our day to day economy. The News/transport-secretary-grant'>Transport Secretary Grant shapps has been responding to an urgent question in the News/house-of-commons'>House Of Commons on the shortage of News/hgv-driver'>Hgv Drivers. The shadow transport secretary, Jim Mcmahon accused News/mr-shapps'>Mr Shapps of being too slow to act. Weve all seen constant examples of businesses impacted by Supply Chains from mcdonalds, fernandos and weatherspoon. Weve all seen Supermarket Shelves empty and that was affecting the delivery of vital medical supplies. Weve already seen the number of people wanting to do the News/hgv-driver'>Hgv Drivers test literally fall off a cliff. With over 9000 being completed in 2019. That was before brexit and it was well before covid. Industry has been warned of this crisis for years but the Secretary Of State has been asleep at the wheel. And just months ago one of his own ministers accused the News/road-haulage-industry'>Road Haulage Industry a crying wolf over shortages despite the evidence that the crisis was getting bigger and bigger and was grinding our economy to a halt. Mr shapps said it wasntjust a problem affecting the uk. This is a global problem. The Chief Executive of eastern europes largest hauliers says it is a global News/driving-shortage'>Driving Shortage across europe, not an isolated problem in one country. He points out that shortages are in romania, poland, germany and many other countries. But its notjust europe, as europe actually its a global problem.

When former News/singer-tanya'>Singer Tanya beige was told she would lose her voice to throat cancer, she immediately began to create a video diary, so that her young children would remember what she sounded like. Now, thanks to a special project, shes able to do something she never thought would be possible again perform live on stage. Fiona lamdin reports. This is my voice, and im not going to have it for much longer. Well, not this one, anyway. Tanja made this recording just hours after being told she had throat cancer. Two days later, as the country went into the first lockdown, tanja had a laryngectomy to remove her voicebox. I was absolutely devastated. Like, my daughter was not even two, so she was learning to talk. Once upon a time there was a boy called News/charlie-cook'>Charlie Cook who curled up in a cosy chair and read his favourite book. Every time i spoke, or sang a News/nursery-rhyme'>Nursery Rhyme with the kids or read a story, i was like, this is the last time, not much longer. You know, three days, two days, one day before surgery. So its so weird when you know that something is going to get taken away from you. When tanja first woke up she couldnt speak but she was fitted with a valve in her neck. When she presses it, it produces sound. When you heard your new voice for the first time, what did you think . I was absolutely horrified. I think i sounded like a tractor or something, it was just like this weird, low, guttural vibrating noise that came out. This is what i sound like this evening. Ive just come downstairs from putting the kids to bed. I managed to get through an entire storybook. And for the next few months, she had News/chemo-and-radiotherapy'>Chemo And Radiotherapy while she relearned how to speak. When i dream, i dream in my old voice, and im like, oh, ive got my old voice back. Shall we see what it looks like on my neck . Yeah. Sticky. Its going to be sticky. Tanja has always been open with her children. Before the operation she prepared them for the changes, and sometimes her five year old News/son-rudy'>Son Rudy still needs to talk about them. He said, i miss your voice, mummy, and im like, yeah, i miss it too. And we went and sat on the sofa and had a cuddle and got a little bit, we were a bit sad, had a bit of a cry. And hejust said, your old voice was so lovely and beautiful, mummy. Im going to the party. Going to the party . Tanja used to love to sing on stage, around the house, and in the car. Hes going to sleep, hes gone to sleep. Not being able to sing happy birthday, you know, kind of regretting that. But im like, why didnt i record myself singing happy birthday . And then i could play it for the kids on their birthdays. Things like that, i think, that gets me almost more than the talking bit. And after 18 months, for the first time, she is back on stage. Performing a duet all about herjourney. Singing together. The soprano represents her old voice. It makes me really happy and it makes me really sad because obviously what comes out is not at all what used to come out. I miss my voice. I think ill always miss it. You know, i can be ok with it and i can accept it, but there will always be an element of, you know, its part of me and now its gone. I love you both, oh, so very much.
