Figures released this Morning Show the rate at which prices are rising jumped to 3. 2 last month. Its the sharpest rise in inflation since records began. Labour is leading a Commons Debate later on whether to keep the £20 a Lift'>Week UpLift to Universal Credit. Its currently due to be scrapped in october. South korea has tested its own balListic missiles after North Korea fired two into the sea overnight. Ip coins are being made again after a pause of two years. Lockdowns means a lot of coins have been left down Sofas and in pockets At Home. And the first ever all civiLian Light'>Space FLight will take off later today with an entrepreneur, a healthcare worker, a scientist and a Data Analyst on board. The roll out of Coronavirus Booster jabs for more than Lion'>30 MilLion people across the uk is set to begin within the coming days. Its part of a wider strategy to control the virus over the winter months. Plan a is designed to prevent the Nhs In England being overwhelmed, and promotes vaccines and testing. But experts have warned there could be a significant rise in Hospital Admissions unless Some restrictions are introduced. The government say its prepared a Plan B, involving extra measures to be used if the nhs comes under unsustainable pressure. Plan b would require nightclubs and large events to use vaccine passports. It would make mask wearing compulSory, for instance in crowded places. And ministers would advise people to work from home again, which scientists say makes a significant difference to infection rates. Our chief poLitical correspondent Adam Fleming joins me from westminster. Good morning to you, adam. I think this takes us back to the question of Listening to the science, because a lot of eminent scientists and medical professionals are saying to the government that they should be introducing Plan B now, not waiting for cases to build up further. So, what is the government saying in response to all of that . What is the government saying in response to all of that . Well, there is the potential response to all of that . Well, there is the potential I Response to all of that . Well, there is the potential i think response to all of that . Well, there is the potential i think in response to all of that . Well, there is the potential i think in the response to all of that . Well, there is the potential i think in the next i is the potential i think in the next few months for their to be quite a bit of tension between the poLiticians and the scientists over whether Plan B needs to be triggered, how much of Plan B is used, and whether Plan B is sufficient. And it is interesting, you look at Some of the documents that were pubLished yesterday by sage, the scientific adviSory group, alongside the Autumn And Winter plan, and they say, in a very Sage Scientist Kind of way that maybe we should be using Plan B now, because they say there are other countries in europe which are having these measures in place at the Moment And Managing to reduce the scale of their epidemic. And when it comes to triggering Plan B, it is not that there is Some kind of very clear, expLicit scientific threshold that is crossed and then you introduce these measures, it is a matter of judgment, where the poLiticians will have to take into account lots of factors, as the Health Secretary was a plain in this morning. We factors, as the Health Secretary was a plain in this morning. A plain in this morning. We dont want to get a plain in this morning. We dont want to get to a plain in this morning. We dont want to get to a a plain in this morning. We dont want to get to a position a plain in this morning. We dont want to get to a position ever. A plain in this morning. We dont i want to get to a position ever again where want to get to a position ever again where there is unsustainable pressure where there is unsustainable pressure on the nhs So it is not able pressure on the nhs So it is not able to pressure on the nhs So it is not able to see pressure on the nhs So it is not able to see people in the usual way when able to see people in the usual way when it able to see people in the usual way when it needs to, particularly emergency patients. So in my mind that is emergency patients. So in my mind that is the emergency patients. So in my mind that is the number one issue that we need that is the number one issue that we heed to that is the number one issue that we need to always keep an eye on, Working Need to always keep an eye on, working with our colleagues in the nhs~ working with our colleagues in the nhs. � ,. , ,. , nhs. And it is Ust Worth spending a bit of time nhs. And it Isjust Worth spending a bit of time looking nhs. And it Isjust Worth spending a bit of time looking at nhs. And it Isjust Worth spending a bit of time looking at what nhs. And it Isjust Worth spending a bit of time looking at what the bit of time looking at what the projections are which have been made by the scientists because it is not super clear and it is a bit confusing. They are saying that under one scenario, you could see may be 7000 people being admitted to hospital every day, which would be enormous. But that is only, they say that scenario is very, very unLikely, that would be the virus raging completely out of control. There are other scenarios which have money fewer Hospital Admissions than that, and alSo, in the same document, the model alSo the model is alSo say they got quite a lot of the modelLing over the summer wrong, by not really clocking what was going to happen as a result of the behaviour related to the euros, or people going into iSolation, or even the warm weather. So there is an acknowledgement that this is a very uncertain period. Dr Son'>Katherine HenderSon is president of the royal college of Emergency Medicine. Thank you very much for your time today, dr Son'>Katherine HenderSon. So, the government at the moment is putting all its eggs into the Plan A basket, vaccines and testing, is that enough, right now, in your opinion . Irate that enough, right now, in your oinion . ~. ,. ,. ,. , that enough, right now, in your oinion . ,. ,. ,. , , opinion . We are already really busy in the Health Opinion . We are already really busy in the Health Service, opinion . We are already really busy in the Health Service, it opinion . We are already really busy in the Health Service, it is opinion . We are already really busy in the Health Service, it is not in the Health Service, it is not just patients with covid, we are busy with lots of other patients. Emergency departments and acute units are really struggLing. So, our concern is, if there is another increase in the number of Covid Patients coming in, that we really will not be able to do the things that we hope, which is to keep normal care going and obviously do Some of the Catch Up of the backlog. So, this is about getting ahead of the virus, isnt it, essentially, do you thing the government is Listening to what you and other physicians are saying at the moment . I think they are Listening but it is obviously a compLicated picture. The situation is really pretty difficult at the moment. I think we are surprised at how bad the summer has beenin surprised at how bad the summer has been in hospitals, although covid numbers may be have been reaSonably low, the reaLity in the frontLine is that we are actually really struggLing. That we are actually really struggLing that we are actually really stru~Lin~. ,. ,. , struggLing. And you are talking not onl about struggLing. And you are talking not only about covid struggLing. And you are talking not only about Covid Patients struggLing. And you are talking not only about Covid Patients but struggLing. And you are talking not| only about Covid Patients but about that huge backlog that has built up during the pandemic So far, along with other day to dayjobs that you have to do. With other daytoday obs that you have to do. , with other daytoday obs that you have to do. Have to do. Every bed that is filled b a have to do. Every bed that is filled by a patient have to do.

Every bed that is filled by a patient who has covid by a patient who has covid is essentially filled by Somebody who has had a essentially a preventable disease, and is not filled by Somebody who is having a procedure or diagnostic test or an elective operation. So, we are really going to increase our backlog if we dont get the infection under control, we dont get covid under control, we run the risk of increasing the backlog, but we are already seeing a lot of patients who have got unmet health needs, who didnt present during the pandemic, who are now presenting to emergency care, to their gp, presenting to emergency care, to theirgp, into presenting to emergency care, to their gp, into hospital, who are needing quite a lot of healthcare, that we need to be able to deLiver. And my fear would be that if we end p and my fear would be that if we end up becoming very much a Covid Service again, were just going to add to the problems of the nhs, and to the Population Health needs. What to the Population Health needs. What difference would to the Population Health needs. What difference would it to the Population Health needs. What difference would it make, and how quickly do you think that difference would filter through, if Some of the elements of the governments Plan B were to be introduced now, for example mandatory mask wearing in crowded places, on pubLic transport, and of course advising people where they can to work from home . 50. And of course advising people where they can to work from home . Smi and of course advising people where they can to work from home . So, i am not a model they can to work from home .

So, i am not a model So i Cant Answer not a model So i Cant Answer that question in terms of what percentage improvement we would see. You must have a sense. Improvement we would see. You must have a sense have a sense. Youve watched what has happened have a sense. Youve watched what has happened in have a sense. Youve watched what has happened in the have a sense. Youve watched what has happened in the pandemic have a sense. Youve watched what has happened in the pandemic So l have a sense. Youve watched what i has happened in the pandemic So far, and what difference certain measures have made, So you must have a sense whether that would help fairly quickly or not deal with the pressures you are seeing . Mr; quickly or not deal with the pressures you are seeing . My sense is that Anything Pressures you are seeing . My sense is that anything that pressures you are seeing . My sense is that anything that we pressures you are seeing . My sense is that anything that we can pressures you are seeing . My sense is that anything that we can do, pressures you are seeing . My sense is that anything that we can do, any| is that anything that we can do, any measures that we can take, to reduce the spread of infection and the number of patients, would be incredibly welcome and is much needed in the health system. So, people dont need to wait for Plan B to wear a mask in a crowded place, they can do that already. They can think about how they are SociaLising, they can think about getting tested early if they have got symptoms So that they can remove themselves from the risk of spreading to other people. They can be very careful about mixing generations, So that Somebody who is young and out and about us visiting elderly, vulnerable relatives and risking them catching the infection, when they are much more Likely to lead a hospital admission, which might be prolonged and could be very dangerous for them. So, might be prolonged and could be very dangerous forthem. So, i might be prolonged and could be very dangerous for them. So, i dont think Society necessarily needs to wait for Plan B, to look at the situation that we are in and think, what can we do to prevent as much of the spread as possible So that we can keep our Health Service going . And finally, dr Son'>Katherine HenderSon, do you have any sense of what the threshold is for moving from planai to Plan B . I threshold is for moving from planai to Plan B . , � ~ threshold is for moving from planai to Plan B . , � ,. ,. , threshold is for moving from Planai Toplanb . ,� ~. , i. , to Plan B .

I dont think any of us know what the official threshold | to Plan B . I dont think any of us i know what the official threshold is, and i hope it isnt the nhs being overwhelmed. We need to be doing better than that, we need the nhs to better than that, we need the nhs to be able to function in as normal a way as possible, but we are struggLing at the moment to do that, which is why any further increase in the number of cases is going to be a real challenge. Idr the number of cases is going to be a real challenge. Real challenge. Dr Son'>Katherine HenderSon. Real challenge. Dr Son'>Katherine HenderSon, thank real challenge.

With me now is suzannah nichol, chief executive of build uk, Trade Body for the construction sector. Thank you very much forjoining us today, and throughout the pandemic, construction has been one of the sectors that has been keeping working, i remember driving to work in the early days of the first lockdown, the streets were virtually deserted but there were Construction Workers getting on with theirjobs. Where is the sector right now in terms of how busy they are and what measures are they taking to try to Keep Covid secure . The measures are they taking to try to Keep Covidsecure . Measures are they taking to try to Keep Covidsecure . The industry is incredibly busy Keep Covidsecure . The industry is incredibly busy at Keep Covidsecure . The industry is incredibly busy at the Keep Covidsecure . The industry is incredibly busy at the moment, Keep Covidsecure . The industry is l incredibly busy at the moment, both on the commercial front, building offices, we are still still continuing to build offices, hospitals, schools, keeping the Road Networks and transport networks going. And alSo in the home, people are having their homes refurbished, they are extending, they spend So much time there that people are spending money on construction, which is clearly great for our sector. In terms of Covid Weve done really well over the last 18 months, we have set up procedures that 99 of the industry have adopted on their projects, all of the things weve been talking about, the wearing of masks, Social-distancing'>Social Distancing, reducing people on site. Since restrictions were eased couple of months ago, we are getting back to normal, with more people on site, but we are still maintaining safe Working Practices, particularly increased Lities'>Welfare FaciLities and maintaining the increased hygiene that we have all become more famiLiar with over the last 18 months. 50 famiLiar with over the last 18 months. ,. , months. So when the government talks about encouraging months. So when the government talks about encouraging people months. So when the government talks about encouraging people to months.

Weve worked since that first lockdown back in March 2020 So if people are asked to go back and work from home again, construction will continue going, but possibly Dial Up on their Social-distancing'>Social Distancing measures again, we can reintroduce bits of our safe Working Practices if required, but for construction, they found their groove about 12 months ago and weve been working safely ever since then. And were going to be talking about Inflation Figures injust and were going to be talking about Inflation Figures in just a second, but what impact is inflation having on your industry, the supply of goods and So on . We on your industry, the supply of goods and So on . On your industry, the supply of goods and So on . We have all seen the rices goods and So on . We have all seen the prices of goods and So on . We have all seen the prices of materials goods and So on . We have all seen the prices of materials go goods and So on . We have all seen the prices of materials go up, goods and So on . We have all seen the prices of materials go up, and i the prices of materials go up, and there are a number of factors for that. That demand for construction, the reduce in supply, the global demand for construction, weve obviously got a shortage of materials at the moment as well, and there are difficulties getting them in, we are all aware of the shortage of lorry drivers, most things are deLivered on the back of an hgv or a lorry of Some kind, So that reduces the flow of materials to the site, which increases their price. And the same on labour as well, Like many other sectors, we have a labour shortage. So overall, the costs of construction are increasing. The Inflation Rate jumped to 3. 2 last month, the biggest increase since records began in 1997. Inflation is the rate at which prices are rising. If the cost of a £1 Jar Ofjam rises by 5p, Thenjam Inflation is 5 . The Office For National Statistics said the rise from 2 injuly was driven by increasing prices in the transport sector, as well as Food Costs at restaurants and cafes. The rate now exceeds the Bank Of Englands 2 Inflation Target again. Our Lice'>Business Presenter ALice baxter is here. Good morning to you, aLice. Lets begin by going back to basics, remind us, what exactly is inflation, and why is it So significant in our daily Lives . Yes, it is important significant in our daily Lives . Yes, it is important to significant in our daily Lives . Yes, it is important to go significant in our daily Lives . Yes, it is important to go back significant in our daily Lives . Us it is important to go back to basics because it is a really important number, it affects everything to do with our daily Lives, from our pension, ourwages, even our with our daily Lives, from our pension, our wages, even our Rail Fares are affected by the rate of inflation. Simply put, it is the rate at which the prices of things that we buy goes up. You gave the example, if a Jar Ofjam costs £1, and it goes up by 5p, then we would say that the rate of inflation is 5 . In the uk, there is an organisation called the Office For National Statistics which puts together Something called a basket of goods which comprises things that we buy regularly, and they look to see how much those items increase, and they update that basket regularly to reflect our Lives. So, for the first time this year, it includes things Like Hand Sanitiser is, exercise equipment, smartwatches, garden furniture, all of which we were buying So much more of which we were buying So much more of in the last year. That is how they come up with this number. And as i say, So important, it affects how much we earn or we are spending on our transport and our pensions. So, why, then, have we seen in the last month of the biggestjump in inflation since records began, 3. 2 last month . Inflation since records began, 3. 296 last month . Well, in Some ways, it is very simple last month . Well, in Some ways, it is very simple. We last month . Well, in Some ways, it is very simple. We werent last month . Well, in Some ways, it| is very simple. We werent spending much on anything last year, but in terms of the Big Monthlyjump between august and, from july to august, there are a few factors. Globally we are seeing this huge spike in the cost of energy, particularly oil prices, which have gone up hugely, but alSo issues in the global supply chain, particularly in shipping. Some businesses expect global Shipping Costs to increase by 380 , that increase has to be passed on. Here increase has to be passed on. Here in the uk we have very specific factors at play. Your previous guest mentioned the shortage in hgv drivers, that is a huge issue which is impacting the availabiLity of goods on shelves. AlSo brexit is an issue putting pressure on the labour force, and alSo on borders. All of those factors combined are putting pressure on the merchants, which are putting pressure on prices, which can lead to inflation. Attention will now turn to the Bank Of England, how are they going to react . Are we going to see an increase in Interest Rates, which is a means by which they can try to rein in spending and encourage us to save . We will have to see. Some are predicting the rate of inflation to go predicting the rate of inflation to 9 up predicting the rate of inflation to go up to Li by The End of the year, we will have to see. As you said in your introduction, we are now above that bank of England Target of 2 . And that rise in Interest Rates if it happens will be a big shock for a lot of people. It it happens will be a big shock for a lot of People Lot of people. It will. All of this, we do need lot of people. It will. All of this, we do need to lot of people. It will. All of this, we do need to Couch Lot of people. It will. All of this, we do need to couch in lot of people. It will. All of this, we do need to couch in a lot of people. It will. All of this, we do need to couch in a word i lot of people. It will. All of this, | we do need to couch in a word of caution, talking to my parents, for example, they remember Interest Rates much higher than we have been used to. I think there are arguments that we have got very used to very, very low Interest Rates. If we were to see an increase, it would be small, they would be incremental, but right now, the Bank Of England is saying, lets wait and see where we are. An 0pposition Day Debate will be held in parLiament this afternoon on whether to keep the £20 a Lift'>Week UpLift to Universal Credit, which is currently due to be scrapped at the start of october. Labour will challenge conservative mps who oppose the Welfare Cut to do the right thing, and vote with them in a non binding motion.

But for me, i struggle to understand why we Live in 2021 and we have food banks. Why cant the Governmentjust Help support the people who are on lower income So, over the period when people have been able to have this extra £20 a week, or as you say, £86 a month, have you noticed a difference in the number of people coming to the food bank, do you think the number has gone down because that extra bit of support has been in place .

Is it So we are spending less in the shops, So that money is not going into their pockets, and taxes being paid and . If we keep that money, the money is going straight back into the economy.

South korea has succussfully tested a balListic missile from a submarine which is designed to help counter any attack from its neighbour North Korea. The planned launch comes just hours after pyongyang fired two balListic devices towards the sea of japan. Joining me now from seoul is our correspondent laura bicker.

These are balListic weapons, So they are banned under un Security Council Revolution reSolutions, So there will be international condemnation. As opposed to South-korea'>South Koreas launch, which came from a submarine. Interestingly, this is a missile that is capable of taking a nuclear weapon, missile that is capable of taking a nuclearweapon, but missile that is capable of taking a nuclear weapon, but South-korea'>South Korea does not have nuclear weapons. This is a first for South-korea'>South Korea and it will become one of only seven nations able to fire a missile from a submarine. It comes as South-korea'>South Korea has increased its budget for defence in recent years. And they do say here in seoul that it is to counter what is happening in the north. But it alSo has an added meaning, because here on the peninsular, in South-korea'>South Korea, 28,000 us troops are based, and South-korea'>South Korea more or less reLies on the united states for defence. And it is called the nuclear umbrella because the us covers this entire region as an ally, and it is there in terms of defence.

Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres sally nugent. Good morning. Last seaSons Winners Chelsea got off to a good start in the Champions League, but despite another goal for Cristiano Ronaldo, there was a Shock Defeat for Manchester United in switzerland. Heres our sports correspondentjoe wilSon. In bern, its opening night. You could call him the old boy of Manchester United, if you dared. In switzerland, these are definitely the young boys of bern, national champions. It would take time for Cristiano Ronaldo to adapt to playing for united again in the Champions League. Yeah, 12 minutes. Cristiano ronaldo is in the middle and he scores well of course he did. If only the game had ended then. Before half time united were down to ten men, Aaron Wan Bissaka shown a Red Card for this. Defining moment, because the Home Team played with increasing beLief. A cross, a touch and the boys were back. A famous equaLising goal. The ball even obLiged for selfies. There was more. With seconds left in injury time Lingard-payday'>Jesse Lingard Payday played a perfect pass. Forjordan siebatcheu. 21. A fine reminder its not how you start, its how you finish. And So to the reigning champions. Chelsea At Home to zenit st petersburg. Defender Antonio Rudiger decided to lead by example at the start of the second half, all the way, almost. The manager needed a goal scorer. 20 minutes to play, its exactly what Romelu Lukaku is for. There. They won the Champions League without him last seaSon. They are stronger, surely, with him.

The government has outLined its Autumn And Winter plan to tackle covid and to stop the Nhs In England from becoming overwhelmed. But doctors are warning that hospitals are already under Pressure And Summer is barely over. John maguire reports. Winter is coming and were only in september. At this Gp Surgery in bristol they are preparing to administer thousands of Flu Jabs this weekend. It will be a seaSon Like no other, with challenges for the nhs Like never before. Due to the lockdown last year, we had very Little flu. So there is a sense that peoples immunity might not be as widespread this year. So we definitely feel we will be seeing more flu related illnesses. On top of that we will get the usual childhood respiratory viruses. Again, theyve not had much chance to circulate over the past year. And then we have covid alSo. And So the three of them between them are Likely to make this quite a difficult winter in terms of the respiratory scenario. The advice is to get the Flu And Covid jabs when called, and to wear masks, Wash Hands and Socially distance if you suffer symptoms, to Limit the spread of any virus. Booster jabs for Over 50s are expected to start within days. The governments hope is to avoid any return to restrictions. I think we have to learn to get on to Live with the virus. Vaccination is clearly one of the ways ahead, but we shouldnt forget there are other measures Like distancing, Like washing your hands, Like face masks. Yeah, i think youve just got to carry on as normal now. It seems Like people, unless its hit them closer to home, theyre just sick of it now. And they want things back to normal. Everybody wants that. We all want that. Of course we want those things to be back to normal. But ijust think its maybe a bit too ambitious to get rid of everything. I dont think its the way forward to tell you the truth, another lockdown. So ~~ another vaccine, another booster vaccine, yeah, but not another lockdown, no, no way. Its Notjust A Challenge for primary care, but alSo for hospitals. The royal college of Emergency Medicine says before winter starts, the demand is already unprecedented. Weve just recorded the worst four Hour Target Performance weve ever recorded in august. And this is the Sort of thing we normally see in winter. So were seeing Winter Levels of performance in summer. If we get a sustained wave of covid combined with flu, were looking that this winter could be extremely challenging. Emily burrows had decided against being vaccinated. She said she was sucked in by Social media. She became So ill when she contracted covid, that she was placed in an induced coma in intensive care. She is urging people to accept the jab. Now being treated in a Community Hospital in the forest of dean, she says the road to recovery will be long. My lungs arent going to be right. Ive had another Lung Infection from it. My one Lung Isnt taking in the air properly. So its all the after effects. Ive got a high heart rate. Even when i was on a ventilator my heart stopped twice. So, vaccinate. Just have it done. And thats what theyre preparing for back at the Gp Surgery, both covid and a seaSonaljabs. They have a well rehearsed Vaccination Programme and are confident that with everyones cooperation, the nhs will be able to do its job, as long as we all help by doing ours. John maguire, Bbc News, bristol. We are asking you today whether the government based on what many medical professionals are saying should be introducing Some of the Plan B measures already for example mandatory mask wearing in enclosed spaces and pubLic transport and the idea of people working from home if they can. Here are Some of your comments on all of that. One says if scientific communities are predicting rises in cases than short term restrictions on high intensity areas would be able to curb the rate of infection. This from alan who says we should all be responsible and get passports for crowded places and get ourjabs and think of others. Another one says mask wearing should be mandatory and where people can work from home they should do. AlSo large events, particular care needs to be taken. This one from marcot says the lesSons should be learned that fewer restrictions earLier would avoid more damage to people and the economy. A stitch in time saves nine. If youd Like to comment on this on whether you think Plan A is the way to go forward or actually Some of those Plan B measures should be introduced i would love to hear thoughts. Hearyour be introduced i would love to hear thoughts. Hear your thoughts.

The practice of Dolphin Hunting in the Faroe Islands has come under scrutiny after more than 1,400 of the mammals were killed in what was beLieved to be a record catch. The pictures we are about to show of the aftermath of the hunt may be distressing to Some viewers. The pod of white sided dolphins was driven into the largest fjord in the North Atlantic territory on sunday. Boats herded them into shallow waters at Skalabotnur Beach in eysturoy, where they were killed with knives. International conservation groups rounded on the hunters to condemn the kilLing.
