As we enter the autumn with more cases, more hospitalisations and more daily deaths than this time last year well be asking how well the uk can cope. Also tonight. Job vacancies in the Uk Surge past 1 Million for the first time since records began. British Sprinter Cj Ujahs B Sample has tested positive, confirming the result of his initial test from the Tokyo Olympics and putting the Relay Teams Silver Medal at risk. The former School Teacher who has paddle boarded around the whole of britain is finishing his epic journey in torquay. And theres a new star in Town Emma Raducanu joins the celebrities enjoying the Glitz And Glamour of the met gala in New York. Good Evening And Welcome to Bbc News. The Prime Minister has set out his Autumn And Winter plan to deal with covid in england. Borisjohnson said the government will stick with its strategy of focussing on vaccines, but he warned that some measures will need to be kept in reserve in case the situation changes too much. Borisjohnson said although cases were higher than at this point last year, the vaccines are working and theyre leading to a big fall in the number of deaths and serious disease. From next Week Booster vaccinations a third dose will be offered to around 30 Million people all over the uk, including all Over 50s, Health Care workers and those with underlying health conditons. 12 to 15 year olds in all four nations will be offered one dose of a vaccine too. And borisjohnson appealed to the Five Million people who have not taken up the offer of a Covid Vaccine to get the jab to help avoid tougher restrictions over the winter. In england, if the nhs begins to struggle, tougher restrictions could include Vaccine Passports, mandatory facemasks even Working From Home again. Heres our deputy political Editor Vicki young, and a warning her report contains some flashing images. Adapting to seasonal change means Thinking and planning ahead, especially in a pandemic. Some things ministers cant control, but the government needs to be ready for the unexpected. Borisjohnson swept away most covid restrictions in england injuly, and for now, he remains confident. The result of this Vaccination Campaign is that we have one of the most free societies and one of the most open economies in europe, and thats why were now sticking with our strategy. In essence, were going to keep going. With this, the Vaccination Programme. It began with Margaret Keenan in coventry last december. Across the uk, the Over 50s and vulnerable adults will be offered a third boosterjab. 12 to 15 year olds will be eligible for a vaccination as well. Ministers Hope Thatll be enough to keep theatres like this. If we go from here to here. Open as normal. So we reopened for six weeks last year, then closed again, then reopened for one week, then closed again, and now were about to reopen. This production of The Great Gatsby has music, Dancing And Audience participation. Its producer is glad to be back. The thing that i need, and the entire culture section need, isjust the opportunity to do ourjobs and to trade our way out of this. I feel a lot more certain today than i have in the past. Im sure that there will be more uncertainty to come. And that uncertainty has led the government to come up with what it calls Plan B for england. It could include the return of mandatory facemasks in some indoor settings, Working From Home would again be recommended and Covid Passports required for people to go into certain venues, including nightclubs, to prove theyve had two jabs. Its just not sensible to rule out completely this type of option now, when we must face the fact that it might still make the difference between keeping businesses open at full capacity or not. Could you tell us in what circumstances you would impose those extra restrictions, your Plan B . Do you have a number of cases, a number of Hospital Admissions, which would mean that weve passed that threshold . Youve heard the exact state of things at the moment, and were confident we can proceed with Plan A, but i Think what i would stress about Plan B is that it contains a number of different shots in the locker. And you wouldnt necessarily play them all at once, farfrom it. Youd want to do things in a graduated way. If this goes in the wrong direction and cases go up, followed by hospitalisations, its important that the measures are put in place early enough and theyre significant enough. Labour said the Governments Approach would be judged against. Whether we can push infections down, minimise sickness and save lives, keep schools open, protect care homes, maintain access to all care in the national Health Service and avoid a winter lockdown. The Scottish Parliament has already voted to introduce Covid Passports for some settings from the start of next month. While none of us like these things, we would be irresponsible not to take advantage of all of the different levers that we have at our disposal to keep cases down. No one wants a repeat of last winter. The hope is that vaccines will make the crucial difference this time. The Booster Programme will begin next week across the uk. The third dose will be given at least six months after the second was adminstered. A dose of pfizer or half a dose of moderna are the preferred options for boosters. Care Home Staff and residents will be among priority groups. Heres our health editor, hugh pym. At a Carpentry Class in surrey for men whove retired, it was clear there was enthusiasm about the prospect of having a booster covid jab. I Think that the whole scheme is good, and i Think i feel better for having myjabs, so, yes, id have it immediately. I always have a Flu Jab once a year, so i cant see that theres going to be any problem having an extra booster. I would have the boosterjab, as i said, but i would like to learn more about it. And now itll become a reality, with this Age Group among the first to get a third dose. The name of the game, the mantra, if you like, is to stay On Top of things. Staying On Top means taking pre emptive action, according to the vaccine expert committee. Jcvi advise us that adults who are more vulnerable to severe covid 19 disease should be offered a Booster Vaccine in order to maintain a high level of protection through the next few months, through this winter particularly. Officials today used this chart to show how effective vaccines are at preventing people with covid from needing hospital treatment. Among those aged 65 and over, they were more than 90 effective up to nine weeks after a second dose. But they wane slightly the further away you got from that second jab. Medical regulators said it was safe to use az, Pfizer And Moderna as boosterjabs, but thejcvi recommended pfizer or a Half Dose of moderna because they got the best immune responses, regardless of what had been given for the first two doses. Though, if there were allergy problems, az could be used. At what point will double jabs Start Covid in one Arm And Flu in the other . Double jabs can start now, subject to the availability of both products. And it may not always be the case that it is possible to co administer those two vaccines in every single patient. Sometimes it will be possible. Booster jabs are set to start next week, with the nhs facing a difficult winter. Covid cases, Hospital Admissions and deaths are higher than this time last year, though there are vaccines now, and officials said the number under 70 with covid after two jabs is extremely small. Here in croydon, like other hospitals, they are preparing for a very busy few months. Perfectly honestly, it feels like winters come pretty early this year, and the real concern is, of course, as we move into winter proper, what the impact might be across the nhs. The message from Health Leaders is that the pandemic is still active, and winter could well be bumpy at times. Hugh pym, Bbc News. Helen cattjoins us from westminster. Helene, from westminster. How does the government explain helene, how does the government explain the fact that it hasnt brought a mandatory mask wearing again or Vaccine Passports, and infections are up on this time last year. Infections are up on this time last ear. ,. ,. , year. Largely, they are saying that vaccination year. Largely, they are saying that vaccination has year. Largely, they are saying that vaccination has made year. Largely, they are saying that vaccination has made the year. Largely, they are saying that i vaccination has made the difference, that because more than 80 of adults across the uk are double jabbed that that means they can make smaller Changes Commando smaller changes may have a bigger impact. At the moment, they dont Think they are at the point where they need to bring in mandatory mask wearing, and some of those other issues. So Plan A is to largely continue with almost what we have now, people voluntarily restricting their actions a bet, considering wearing facemasks in a crowded spaces or considering how many people they see or how they ventilate the house when they meet, and chris whitty, the Chief Medical Officer did say that its clear that people are still doing those things, otherwise the rates would be much higher than they were now. So they seem to be going with that, but then with that additional extra vaccination to that Booster Programme to mentor the programme to get a dose of the vaccine to 12 15 year olds, so they are relying on vaccination as the central defence, if you like him going into the Autumn And Winter. Plus testing from isolating if you test positive, and then these sort of voluntary actions and hoping that well see them through the winter within that Plan B being where you move into some sort of mandatory action, so, for example, making it compulsory to wear facemasks and example, Making It Compulsory To Wearfacemasks and in example, making it compulsory to wear facemasks and in some places, bringing in those Covid Passports from the Vaccine Passports which have been controversial here. That is in Plan B, though, interestingly, the government is encouraging those businesses which are already choosing to use them with Plan A stop but there may be viewers where little confused about what exactly well trigger a move to these mandatory measures iii well trigger a move to these mandatory measures well trigger a move to these mandatory measures if as i said earlier admissions mandatory measures if as i said earlier admissions are mandatory measures if as i said earlier admissions are already l mandatory measures if as i said l earlier admissions are already up mandatory measures if as i said earlier admissions are already up on last year and infections are up as well. ,. , last year and infections are up as well. ,. ,. , well. Yeah, and that is going to take quite well. Yeah, and that is going to take quite well. Yeah, and that is going to take quite be well. Yeah, and that is going to take quite be that well. Yeah, and that is going to take quite be that big take quite be that big question, but is that point where they decide that it has worsened sufficiently to bring in those wider measures, and thatis bring in those wider measures, and that is been asked a few times in different places today. Later was asking this in the commons, a couple of questions asked at a Press Conference about that, and what we are getting from the scientists are not a. But it will be a collection of different things which we will attach primarily the state of the nhs. It is nhs coping as it is . The rate of hospitalisation and the case, how cases relate to hospitalisation. So a few bits of data that play together, but there hasnt been any sense of, you know, is there a typical numerical threshold that you had where they decide that this is the point where you bring in those wider restrictions, so i Think that is still very much up in the air and it comes with implications for businesses, for example, if they have to bring these in. How much notice while they get . They will need some legislation to go into the comments if they are bringing in mandatory facemasks or Covid Passports. So a lot to consider here, and the speed in which they can then, some doubt over that. You heard in Vicki Youngs Piece there, on the one Hand Yet Breath sounds insane, like committees or shots in the locker, you want to do it gradually, on the other hand can be a patrick balancing, yeah, but if things resin, you need to be able to go hard and early. So there is still a lack of clarity, really, around what point that would kick in and how swiftly extra measures could come and. ,. , ~ ,. , how swiftly extra measures could come and. ,. ~ y. ,. , come and. Sure, helen, thank you for that. Doctor Bharat Pankhania is a senior clinical lecturer at the University Of Exeter medical school. Good evening tea. Thank you for joining us. Would you say to a parent, a Mother And Father who say, look, we have been double jabbed, the jcbi look, we have been double jabbed, thejcbi are telling the government that they dont Think there is Anything Health Wise in a 12 year old to 15 year olds getting any health Benefit, rather than getting the vaccine, so we are not going to allow it to happen. That is a aood going to allow it to happen. That is a good question. Going to allow it to happen. That is a good question, and going to allow it to happen. That is a good question, and i going to allow it to happen. That is a good question, and i hope going to allow it to happen. That is a good question, and i hope many| going to allow it to happen. That is a good question, and i hope many gps and public health doctors around the country are addressing this issue. So what i would say is the joint committee on vaccines and immunisation look at a very narrow brief, which is of Benefit or otherwise to the childs, and their pronouncement was it is marginally Beneficial, and then our Chief Medical Officer is looked at the totality, the bigger picture, and the bigger picture being continuity of schools, avoidance of potential long covid, avoidance of the disruption to Education And Suppression of the confessions infections in the community. When they put that bigger picture together, that pendulum swings greatly in favour of immunisation, and immunisation will protect against the one big thing we are all worried about, not long covid, we dont know the consequences of long covid, and therefore, the best strategy is protect yourself with the vaccine. Strategy is protect yourself with the vaccine the vaccine. Going on to the government the vaccine. Going on to the Government Announcement | the vaccine. Going on to the Government Announcement today, Autumn And Winter strategy, does it make sense, given that we are at a worse situation in terms of admissions and Infection Rates now than we were last year, not to have to matter now, for instance, mandatory mask wearing. It to matter now, for instance, mandatory mask wearing. It makes no sense. And mandatory mask wearing. It makes no sense and i mandatory mask wearing. It makes no sense. And i would mandatory mask wearing. It makes no sense. And i would go mandatory mask wearing. It makes no sense. And i would go along mandatory mask wearing. It makes no sense. And i would go along with sense. And i would go along with what Patrick Downs was saying, that as an infectious disease experts, my advice to the government would be similar, which as you need to come in early, come in hard, you need to come and extensively. We have a pattern here of always acting too late, late, late. And this is the reason why the uk has unfortunately had a lot of cases which we have never caught up with properly. So, if we really wanted to manage this properly and to early, it is better to feel the pain today, go and hard and fast as soon as possible, that is the way to suppress infections and keep them down. Equipments resonse and keep them down. Equipments resoonse to and keep them down. Equipments response to that and keep them down. Equipments response to that is and keep them down. Equipments response to that is we and keep them down. Equipments response to that is we have and keep them down. Equipments response to that is we have got. And keep them down. Equipments response to that is we have got a I Response to that is we have got a brilliant Vaccination Programme that has got out that, it has suppressed the virus to a degree, particularly in people who are mainly vulnerable, and that is the difference between now and a year ago. That and that is the difference between now and a year ago. Now and a year ago. That is true, and what the now and a year ago. That is true, and what the vaccines now and a year ago. That is true,. And what the vaccines have achieved is that it has prevented people from severe illness and dying. Nevertheless, we are seeing people admitted to hospital, mostly on immunised and we have also got the winter season, the Season Influenza will be upon us, so, really, the best strategy would be right now to say, love, and crowded places, buses, shopping centres, etc, please wear your masks. We need to suppress and keep it suppressed comedies infections, meaning covid as well as seasonal influenza. Qm. Infections, meaning covid as well as seasonal influenza.

We have had a conversation, me and serena had a really good conversation Last Night, and fortunately, i am The Captain for the next couple of games, which is amazing, because its an absolute honour to be englands captain, but we are realistic and the fact that she is getting to know the group, she is getting to know the group, she is getting to know how we work as a team, and just getting to know everybody. So i Think, for me personally, it is an unbelievable honour to be able to do that over the next couple of games and lead the next couple of games and lead the team that i normally have done over the last few seasons and years. But regardless of whether i have an armband or not, i will still be that same leader that i will always be for the girls, same leader that i will always be forthe girls, yeah, but same leader that i will always be for the girls, yeah, butjust really looking forward to working underneath her and hopefully learning a lot more about my game and for the team as well.

Job vacancies have hit a record high as the economic recovery continues, according to official figures. The number of vacancies in the three months to august rose above 1 Million for the first time since records began in 2001, amid Labour Shortages in some key uk industries. Official figures also show, the number of Uk Workers on payrolls rose by 2a1,000 in august, taking it to 29. 1 Million people in work. Heres our Economics Editor faisal islam. Its harvest time, and that means all Hands On Deck in britains farms and particularly so this year. The good news is that the reopening of the economy has brought demand back, all thejobs back and the need to hire, to harvest the wheat and the barley from the ground. So, this should have left the farm injuly and be in a pint glass. Arable farmer Dan Wallis sold this 300 Tonne Consignment to a brewer weeks ago. But due to shortages, theres no transport for it. The situation not a great deal better for wheat. Whether it be soft Fruit Or Wheat for bread, there is a finite window. If its not harvested in that time, it will spoil and it wont make the grade. But finding enough people to drive kit, tractors, harvesting, whatever it might be, its very, very hard. All this is a consequence of a Jobs Market doing much better than Anyone Forecast or dared to hope during lockdown. The Tax Authorities counted 1 Million fewer people registered on payrolls less than a year ago during the pandemic, but that has now fully recovered. I would say theres a lot of reasons for optimism aboutjobs. Whether its entry leveljobs or more experienced jobs, there is work available for people right now. In thatchams High Street windows, like most towns and cities up and down the country, signs of the time requests for workers. Just outside town, a Delivery Firm offering big incentives for those with the right skills. There are two huge and unprecedented factors in the Jobs Market right now. On the one hand, the record vacancies and Shortages Notjust in lorry cabs. On the other hand, tens, Hundreds Of Thousands of workers returning from the Furlough Scheme hopefully straight back into the workforce. Could these two problems solve Each Other . The industrys sceptical that that could happen quickly enough. Here at gist, they say while they can pay up, across the industry, the pandemic, Post Brexit Visa rules and self employed Tax Changes mean there just arent enough workers. Cant you just train up some of the Hundreds Of Thousands of people, for example, Coming Off Furlough by The End of the month . Well, i mean, the government have announced last week an additional 50,000 Test Slots were going to be made available in the next year, which is helpful in itself, but it certainly isnt going to fix the problem. And if the government, as they appear not to want to, are not prepared to offer Eu Nationals with temporary worker visas to come and drive these commercial vehicles, then theyre going to have to take further action. Something else is going to need to be done. As the Economy And Demand for workers returns to normal far more quickly than expected, shortages and The End of the Furlough Scheme remain challenges.

He has just finished an epicjourney circumnavigating britain. He set off from torquay on his Stand Up Paddleboard in april two and a half thousand miles later he has arrived home as Sarah Ransome reports after 1111 days, Brendon Prince is home. With nearly 4,000 kilometres under his belt, the former schoolteacher has paddled his way clockwise around Mainland Britain to raise awareness of sea safety.

Unpredictable Summer Weather slowed him down and he has also had to steer through breezy busy shipping lanes. To see 200 of dolphins, 10,000 Seals Ocras Swimming toward you, these things are immense. Seven years ago as an off duty lifeguard, he tried but could not save the lives of three people in cornwall. The tragic memory drives him on. The effect of that for all of those people for decades to come was catastrophic, and that for me, i thoguht, i cant. I just dont want to see that happen to other people.

Would you do it again . Maybe. No no, no way. Ive done this, maybe lets do something else. Sarah ransome, Bbc News. It is thousands of years old and one of the worlds most famous prehistoric monuments. Now stonehenge, in wiltshire, is to undergo a series of repairs. After assessing the massive stones, English Heritage has launched a Conservation Project to keep the site safe for the future. John maguire reports. Metal scaffolding may be an incongruous sight next to the ancient structure. And it will be taken down every evening over the next few weeks, such is the determination to keep stonehenge open and looking as normal as possible. This Conservation Work is, in itself, historic. The last time something of this scale was undertaken was more than 60 years ago, when the ladders were wooden, you could smoke a pipe while working, and Protective Headgear was a woolly hat. Much has changed over the decades, but the problems remain. A few years ago we did do a Laser Scan of every single stone, so we got a very good record now of all the cracks and the holes, but also, one of the lintels, for example, was stitched together in the 1950s, so were going to be doing some Repair Work to that, because at the time they used a mortar that was very hard and we are going to replace that with lime mortar. Surveying the earlier work at the time was eight year old Richard Woodman bailey. His father was the chief architect, and Young Richard Concealed a coin within the stones. Today, 63 years on, despite being older and wiser, he will do the same again with a £2 coin, struck specially for the occasion by the royal mint. To follow up that 1958 coin with a 2021 britannia £2 coin, is really a great honour indeed. Repairing, restoring, conserving there are subtle differences. And at this World Heritage Site everything is tightly controlled. After all, they are working in the footsteps of giants. They may not have used phrases like structural Engineer Or Architect 11,500 years ago, but they were very clever people. On top of each pillar theres a tenonjoint, that bit of rock that you can see sticking up. They would then go inside this mortise hole. So the lintels would have sat On Top of the pillars. We Think this one was never actually placed On Top of the pillar. We dont know why. As with so much in stonehenge, it remains a mystery. With our changing climate, English Heritage is aware the stones will face different weather patterns, so the hope is to future proof the work for at least the next 60, 70, maybe 100 years. Which, of course, when this place is a500 years old, is the merest blink of an eye. John maguire, Bbc News, stonehenge. Beautiful pictures there. Now its time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. Hello there. Its been a very wet day across parts of england, particularly central, southern and eastern areas, over a Months Worth of Rain Falling across parts of East Anglia in the last 12 hours. That has slowly cleared off into the north sea. Could leave a legacy of cloud, maybe just one or two showers draped across the Eastern Coastal Parts of england. There may be the Odd Shower as well for northern and Western Scotland, perhaps into northern ireland, but most places will be dry. A few clear spells where it will turn quite fresh, otherwise rather cloudy, misty, murky and again quite mild across southern areas to start wednesday. So weve got a couple of Weather Fronts on wednesday across northern and Western Areas bringing a few showers around, but generally wednesday and thursday, this ridge of high pressure is going to build in. Its going to settle things down, so we are looking at a lot of dry weather around from the middle part of the week with some good sunny spells around, especially thursday. I Think thursday looks like being the sunniest and driest day across the uk of the week. Could see just one or two showers across northWestern Areas on wednesday, but the temperatures will respond to more sunshine on thursday. Hello, this is Bbc News. The headlines.

More now on the Prime Ministers plan to deal with covid in the coming Months Today Government scientists have warned that we are entering the autumn with more covid cases, more hospitalisations and more deaths than this time last year. Last September Nottingham had one of the highest covid 19 Infection Rates in the uk. Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth has been asking people there how they feel about the winter ahead. With The Rain coming down, the approaching autumn felt inescapable in nottingham today, bringing with it uncertainty. In this City Centre Coffee shop, Owner Michelangelo hopes colder weather doesnt mean a return to too many covid rules. Facemasks and vigilance are fine as long as he can stay open. We have given the vaccine to so many people, i Think we should get over with it and really start looking forward. Steph, who is a regular here, shares a similar view. She lost her husband to covid injanuary, but shes still optimistic. Im beginning to enjoy getting back to life as should be. A toolkit is the right way to go. I Think the government has a job to do to persuade the small proportion of the population who are still not getting vaccinated to get vaccinated. Here, as in westminster, a lot of faith is being put in the vaccine programme. Miller, a Student Here Last Year whos about to start her masters, hopes it will mean more Face To face teaching, but does accept there may be limits if things take a turn. Being at home and looking at a Powerpoint Presentation on my Screen Hasnt really been the holistic learning that i wanted to have when i came to uni, so i Think i would be disappointed, but at the same time, id rather we take every action that we possibly could to minimise the cases. When the students returned last year, nottingham was hard hit by a Surge In Covid cases. Now things are moving again, most of course want it to stay that way. We are making progress down the road to recovery. This local Climbing Centre struggled with lockdowns and restrictions, so the owner watched closely today as the government set out its plan. It was quite low key, saying they are not going to do anything radical, so, but big up the vaccinations, which is a good idea. Our Staff Cant Work at home. Theyve got to be here, climbing. I Think mandatory masks are fine. There is pragmatism here about the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, though some are unsure whether planned measures will be enough. A lot of it depends on if any new variants in, and how the new variants respond to the vaccine, so its very difficult to predict. Im 5050. I dont know which way it could go. Some sort of plan is better than no plan, for sure. Covid has undoubtedly proved difficult to navigate. A lot now is resting on the governments next steps. Alex forsyth, Bbc News, nottingham. Next week will also see the start of the covid jabs for 12 to 15 year olds right across the uk. Theyll be offered one dose of vaccine rather than two. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes has been looking at some of the questions the decision has raised for children and parents. There are around 3 Million 12 to 15 year olds living in the uk. Now, one in eight of those has already been offered two jabs of the Pfizer Vaccine if theyre judged to be clinically vulnerable or living with someone whos clinically vulnerable. Now, the rest will be offered a single pfizerjab in a programme that could begin as early as next week. Now, because this is a recommendation made by all four of the uks Chief Medical Officers, its a programme that will be rolled out right across the country. And these are the views of some of those in that Age Group from a school in bradford. I would like the vaccine, mainly because i know im contributing to everyone elses safety. My family agree with me, in that i shouldnt take the vaccine now but might do later on. Ill take the vaccine because it helps, like, save lives. And also, even if i didl come down with covid, i wouldnt become fatally ill or need to go into hospital. | this programme is going to be run by the school age immunisation service. Now, thats an organisation that has a huge wealth of experience in delivering jabs in schools. So, for example, they do the annualFlu Jab. Now, the vast bulk of these immunisations are going to be carried out in the school. But if thats not possible, theyll set up a Vaccination Centre nearby, because the whole idea is to try and minimise the disruption to schools and childrens education. After all, thats one of the main drivers behind this whole programme. The issue of consent is where things could get tricky. Initially, schools will seek the consent of a Parent Or Guardian and both adults and children will be given the information they need about the vaccine, including the very rare possibility of side effects. However, you could find that the child wants the vaccine and the adult disagrees. In that case, the clinicians will try and get them together to reach a consensus. But if that doesnt work and the child is judged to be competent in other words, understands whats going on, knows all the pros and cons then that child themselves could give consent. Now, thats a very difficult position to find yourself in, and no school wants to face that scenario. Our Health Correspondent, Dominic Hughes, reporting there. The number of suspected drug deaths in scotland remains close to a record high, with 722 deaths in the first six months of the year. Thats only nine fewer than the same period last year. Scotland continues to have by far the highest Drug Death Rate in europe. And, it is more than three and a half times that of england and wales. The kremlin has announced that President Putin is self isolating after members of his staff tested posititive for covid 19. A spokesman insisted the president was absolutely healthy and his work was not affected. The speakers of the House Of Commons and lords have ruled that Chinas Ambassador in london cannot step foot in parliament while sanctions remain against a number of mps and peers. The ambassador was due to attend a reception at the House Of Commons tomorrow. Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale has more. Because of covid 19, most of this is virtual. This was his opportunity for them to meets and impedes Face To face as part of this, they invited him to a reception in the House Of Commons, overlooking the teams. Little problem. When mps found out about this, some of them are furious and that is because our relationship between China And Parliament are not great at the moment because china imposed sanctions, Travel Bands on five mps and two peers earlier this year in march because of criticism they had made about chinas human Rights Record in these mps went to speakers and we do not Think they should be coming to parliament. They have imposed sanctions on parliament and the speaker ruled that that would be appropriate. It will be inappropriate. The story was first broken by The Daily Telegraph and the statement was made and what happened now is the reception has been postponed to another day so it would not now be happening. The likelihood is that a Reception And Event will take place away from parliament in the future. In another disturbing indicator of the speed of Climate Change, new Bbc Research reveals a significant increase in the number of days that temperatures around the world are hitting 50 Degrees Celsius 122 degrees in fahrenheit. Since the 1980s, the number of 50 degree days has tripled. Back then there were eight days a year on average in the last Decade Weve seen 26. Ani Temperatures of 50 in the last Decade Weve seen 26. Temperatures of 50 celsius happen most often in the middle East And Gulf regions. But they are now being recorded in more areas of the world than before North Africa has seen them with increasing frequency. So whats it like living life at 50 Degrees C . Today, we look at nigeria, where Climate Change has destroyed much of the fertile land, and the Countrys Oil Production has added to the problem, as Peter Okwoche reports. This is my mum. Shes going to the flare now, close to the fire. Under the Scorching Sun and in front of an open Gas Flare in nigerias oil rich south, joy risks her life to support her family. Temperatures here reach boiling levels, but despite the risks, joy uses the heat to speed up drying time for her tapioca sweet puddings. Translation the reason i have short hair is because if i grow my hair long, it could burn my head if the Flare Shifts Direction and explodes. The use of Fossil Fuels worldwide has had a devastating impact on nigerias climate. The country suffers from severe droughts in the North And Flash floods in the south. When i was a kid, The Rain was not like this, the weather was not like this, so i Think that life is now going to end. But nigeria is also a major producer of oil, with a particular emission problem. This is how they flare the gas. The inhabitants of this land are suffering with abject poverty. Flaring is the process of burning the Natural Gas that is released when oil is extracted from the ground. The process is a large source of Greenhouse Gases and a major contributor to Climate Change in nigeria. It is also illegal in the country, yet about Two Million nigerians live within four kilometres of a Gas Flare. Including joy and her children. This is my children. Forjoy, working around the Gas Flare is one way of making ends meet. Translation its bad for our health, but we say to hell with the consequences, we need to support our families. Joy and her children have been working extra hard for four days straight. They are processing the tapioca to help Herfamily Pay for the funeral of her mother. When i came here, i had no work, nojob. I saw the women working this tapioca and i asked them if they would let me. Although they need the money, Joys Family still wants Gas Flares to stop. Translation in my view, the government should lead efforts to end Gas Flaring in the Oil Industry and, hopefully, that will significantly reduce the heatwave and associated health hazards. Nigerias economic development is highly dependent on oil revenue, yet the industry is making it one of africas largest emitters of Greenhouse Gases, and until the government fulfils its promise to end Gas Flaring by 2030, the Countrys Landscape and the lives and livelihoods of Millions Likejoy remain at risk.

The british teenager clearly thrilled to still be here in New York, because this is seen by many as the most a List Event of the year. With outfits ranging from the restrained to the outrageous.

While another democratic congresswoman, carolyn maloney� s dress bore the message equal rights for women. Despite this being a very american occasion, brits are always well represented, from its Organiser Anna Wintour through to the younger generation, like model brooklyn beckham.

We saw over a Months Worth of rainfall in a few spots in East Anglia in the last 12 hours. Its all courtesy of this area of low pressure which affected the majority of england through the day, slowly clearing out into the north sea, taking the Heavy Rain with it, a Legacy Ofjust a few showers and some cloud across eastern england. And there will be just one or two showers, i Think, Peppering Northern and western parts of scotland, but elsewhere should be dry. But because of all The Rain, certainly for england and wales, its going to be quite muggy, misty and damp. Further north, well see temperatures dropping to single figures under clear skies. Otherwise quite mild in the south. Now into wednesday, and indeed into thursday, this ridge of high pressure will build, and thatll settle things down quite nicely and we should see quite a bit of sunshine around. So the middle part of the week is actually looking like being the best part of the week with regards to dry and sunny weather around. Now, it could start quite grey and murky for many areas for wednesday, one or two showers across the Far East of england. Could see the odd Weather Front there. Maybe this Weather Front bringing some showers to northern and Western Scotland and into northern ireland, but elsewhere it will be dry with increasing amounts of sunshine into the afternoon. Temperatures responding 21, maybe 22 degrees. Otherwise the high teens for most. Thursday, iThink, looking like being the driest and sunniest day of the week for most of us. Could start off with some mist and dense fog patches around, which tend to clear, allowing for some sunny spells to develop. Bit of cloud into the afternoon. Signs of It Turning a bit breezier and cloudier across the far northwest ahead of this new Weather Front, but it could turn quite warm in the south and the east. We could see highs around 23 degrees. But then its all change as we head on into friday. A new Look Weather System pushing in from the west will introduce stronger winds, cloud, outbreaks of rain, mainly to Western Areas. I Think its Western Scotland, northern ireland, into western england and wales which will see The Rain. Eastern parts of scotland, and certainly eastern england, will stay dry all day with some sunny spells, but its going to be a blustery day for all, particularly in the northwest, as that Weather Front moves in. Temperatures here, mid to high teens. Again, with some sunshine in the southeast, we could see 20 22 celsius. Bit of uncertainty with the details into the weekend, but it does look like lower pressure wants to be nearby, some Weather Fronts around too, so its going to be quite a mixed picture, i Think, both saturday and sunday quite a bit of cloud around, bit of sunshine, too, but there will always be a threat of rain. Stay tuned to the forecast. This is Bbc News im christian fraser. Borisjohnson announces Covid Boosterjabs in the uk for anyone over the age of 50. The roll out of the 3rd Dose will begin next week.
