biden are set to meet at the white house later, to discuss issues including afghanistan and climate change. the ministry of defence has apologised after a bbc investigation revealed a data breach involving the email addresses of more than 250 interpreters who worked for british forces in afghanistan. canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau thanks the voters for returning him to power in the snap general election — but his party is projected to fall short of a parliamentary majority. a bbc investigation finds that children struggling with mental health problems during the pandemic faced agonisingly long waits for treatment. hello, and welcome to bbc news this morning. ministers are due to meet representatives from the food and drinks industry today, to discuss the disruption caused by soaring wholesale gas prices. alongside concerns about rising energy bills and the impact on suppliers, there have also been warnings of empty shelves in supermarkets because of a shortage of carbon dioxide. the gas is used throughout the food industry, from stunning animals for slaughter to packaging products and in refridgerated transport. this morning the business secretary said he hoped to have a very clear plan to get c02 production back up and running this week. jon donnison reports. the government insists there is no question of the lights going out this winter, but as energy prices soar, some are worried. my bills are already at breaking point, and then going into the winter, i've got a daughter and, obviously, myself, and it's a worry, it's a real big worry. the only way to sort of... you know, we are going to have to heat the house, because we can't be cold, so we are going to have to basically cut back on food. and food supply issues will be be on the agenda when the government meets with the food and drink federation later today. the huge spike in energy prices means c02 gas suppliers have shut down production. the soft drinks association now says they only have a few days supply of carbon dioxide left. and meat producers have warned of price rises within the week, if slaughterhouses can't get enough access to c02. high demand for gas as the global economy picks up, coupled with a reduced supply, are behind a surge in wholesale gas prices. but after an emergency meeting with energy firms, the government, alongside the industry regulator ofgem, reiterated last night there would be no question of removing the cap that stops suppliers passing on those wholesale price rises to consumers. it protects and has protected millions of customers from sudden increases in global prices. this winter, we are committed to that price cap and it will remain in place. that means more small energy supplier is unable to turn a profit will likely go bust. the government says it's considering offering state—backed loans to those that survive, but insists it will not be bailing out failed companies. jon donnison, bbc news. our political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. let's discuss what the government is going to do to try to sort out the issuesit going to do to try to sort out the issues it is facing right now. good morning. firstly, on the energy companies who had to take on board the customers from smaller companies which have gone or are going to go bustin which have gone or are going to go bust in the midst of this crisis, how will the government help them? the government is relying on the existing process whereby customers, as you rightly said, from struggling suppliers are transferred to more stable suppliers, known as a supplier of last resort, but the problem is that process is less appealing for the bigger energy companies because, of the energy price cap, they have to spend more to supply those customers that they will get in their bills, so the government is looking at ways to make up that gap. this morning business secretary kwasi kwarteng was adamant that the gap will not be made up with grants, hand—outs or bailouts. the option that seems to be the government's preferred option is those companies go for commercial loans from their banks but the government might help with a guarantee. it won't be just a grant, it won't be just a blank cheque, any support for those larger companies will be in terms of working capital, will be a loan. it won't be just a grant, it won't be just a blank cheque, it'll be something where if we do have this facility, if we do have this policy, they will be expected to pay back the loans, whereas in the case of a bailout, that's what it is, it's just a bailout where you grant money, taxpayers' money, and the taxpayer doesn't see any return from that. so the business secretary talking about loans for that scenario, but let's look at the c02 shortages coming about as a result of the crisis. the government seems to potentially be talking about subsidies for the perth —— for the fertiliser plants that produce much of the c02 the uk users. this fertiliser plants that produce much of the c02 the uk users.— of the c02 the uk users. this is a firm owned _ of the c02 the uk users. this is a firm owned two _ of the c02 the uk users. this is a firm owned two plants _ of the c02 the uk users. this is a firm owned two plants in - of the c02 the uk users. this is a i firm owned two plants in merseyside and teesside, they had shut down production of fertiliser because it was an economic due to the gas price so there was none of the by—product, c02, which is used in things in the shops such as packaged salads or fizzy water. the industry warns that in about ten days it could have serious, noticeable effects in the shops. it also affects the meat and poultry supply chains. it seems that the simple solution would be for the government to give this company some money to make up for the increased gas price and the business secretary is hinting that is the way the government will go, potentially as soon as today, taxpayer support for that process, but he stressed again it would be temporary, but in that case it might be a grant rather than a loan, but i think we will have to wait for the impact of negotiations between the business department, tefera, the agricultural department, and the treasury, who will be paying. —— defra, the agricultural department. paying. -- defra, the agricultural department-— let's take a look at what the energy price cap is. around 15 million households in england, wales and scotland face a 12% rise in their energy bills from october. this is because a higher energy price cap is due to come into force in england, scotland and wales. the cap is the maximum price suppliers can charge customers on a standard — or default — tariff. suppliers will be able to put prices up to the new maximum — and, given the rise in gas prices, they probably will. those on standard tariffs could see an increase of £139, from £1,138 to £1,277 a year. people with pre—payment meters could see an increase of £153, from £1,156 to £1,309. households on fixed tariffs will be unaffected, but those coming to the end of a contract will probably be unable to find a cheap deal to replace it. in northern ireland, which is a separate market with two suppliers — prices will also rise next month. joining me now is lilah howson—smith, from global counsel, which reported on behalf of the food and drink federation on the causes and effects of a shortage of c02 in 2018. lilah, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. sometimes our memories are short, i don't know how many people remember the c02 shortages of 2018, it was the summer, the world cup, newspaper headline suggested that the pubs might run out of beer as football fans watch the games. different causes in 2018, i understand, but the same impact and a review the following year talked about a lack of resilience in the c02 supply chain. were any lessons learnt given we are in a c02 shortages then? no, not really. —— in a c02 shortage again. we shortages then? no, not really. -- in a c02 shortage again. we needed to look at diversifying _ in a c02 shortage again. we needed to look at diversifying the _ in a c02 shortage again. we needed to look at diversifying the supply - to look at diversifying the supply chain for co2 and what that really means is looking beyond fertiliser plants to potentially bioethanol plants to potentially bioethanol plants where c02 is also produced as a by—product but also other areas in the longer term, carbon capture and storage, weather that has a role, but we are still in a situation but fundamentally we depend on four of five different plants and different suppliers for co2, which is not a long—term solution when we are relying on a product used throughout the supply chain, as your colleague mentioned, from chicken salads at lunchtime to your beer after work, it is played out throughout the food supply chain and there needs to be more suppliers in the market to enable a wider set of suppliers. so is there any serious investment behind, for example, you talked about carbon capture schemes which would remove carbon from the atmosphere and allow that to be used for industry, are there any serious investors behind those schemes? yes. investors behind those schemes? yes, i think longer— investors behind those schemes? yes, i think longer term _ investors behind those schemes? ya: i think longer term clearly there investors behind those schemes? i2: i think longer term clearly there is investor interest and it is something the government is looking to expand into as part of their net zero goal. the problem is accelerating the process now we understand that it is quite interconnected with the other issue around c02 supply chains and resilience and actually i think longer term it should spur the government on in terms of their consideration of these policy initiatives. it consideration of these policy initiatives.— initiatives. it was interesting lookinu initiatives. it was interesting looking back _ initiatives. it was interesting looking back at _ initiatives. it was interesting looking back at the - initiatives. it was interesting looking back at the food - initiatives. it was interesting looking back at the food and j initiatives. it was interesting - looking back at the food and drink federation reported to the problems of 2018, which were described as a perfect storm of factors leading to the carbon dioxide shortages, but in the carbon dioxide shortages, but in the report the following year they said the perfect storm description risks giving false assurances that the events were a one—off, clearly they were not because they few years later we are talking about c02 shortages again. do you think there is clear ownership of the problem in terms of sorting it out at government level? i terms of sorting it out at government level? i think the difficulty is — government level? i think the difficulty is the _ government level? i think the difficulty is the various - government level? i think the - difficulty is the various components of the problem are owned by different government departments, you have the business secretary responsible for the fertiliser plants who would be looking at solutions via, but then you have defra who are separately looking up the supply chain issue and you may be happy cabinet office and number ten trying to coordinate the problem when it comes to shortages and the fact it has become a more serious, whiter problem. the issue is you are not necessarily in the medium or long—term looking for solutions once the immediate shortage passes, i think it is really telling but fundamentally we have exactly the same problem three years later, with a different set of causes but exactly the same solution is being looked at, but has not been progress made. ., ., ., ~ ., made. you are talking about structural— made. you are talking about structural problems, - made. you are talking about structural problems, taking l made. you are talking about - structural problems, taking clear ownership of what needs to be done and the development of schemes like carbon capture. many people will be listening to this slightly confused by the fact that we talk all the time about the need to reduce c02 time about the need to reduce co2 emissions, but here we are talking about c02 shortages?— emissions, but here we are talking about c02 shortages?

totally, and i think that is part of the problem, i think that is part of the problem, there is a perverse logic in the sense that we are talking about a supply of c02 which is something we are trying to reduce the atmosphere, but in the longer term there are clearly facilities here in terms of the fact he want to be capturing more c02 from the atmosphere to reduce our carbon emissions and we need more storage of c02 long—term to avoid this problem in the future. so actually i think there is good synergy that the government can reflect on going forward and that should be the case that the food and drinks sector is making to government, there are some new and practical ways we can look at this which will align with a much broader part of government agenda, accepting this problem is perhaps not as well understood by the public and government at this stage. really interestin: government at this stage. really interesting to — government at this stage. really interesting to talk _ government at this stage. really interesting to talk to _ government at this stage. really interesting to talk to you, - government at this stage. really l interesting to talk to you, thanking for your thoughts, interesting to talk to you, thanking foryourthoughts, lilah for your thoughts, lilah howson—smith from foryourthoughts, lilah howson—smith from global counsel. just a reminder that if you want to get in touch about how this is affecting you, weather it is a shortage of products on your local supermarket shelf or your energy bills, your energy supplier, you can contact me on twitter, we will try to read some of your comments. borisjohnson will meet president biden at the white house today — to discuss topics including climate change, trade and the situation in afghanistan. it's the first time a british pm has met a president at the white house since theresa may visited donald trump there in 2017. 0ur political correspondent helen catt reports on the build—up to another historic meeting. it was all smiles in the sunshine when borisjohnson metjoe biden in person for the first time just three months ago at the g7 summit in cornwall. mrjohnson says he hasn't had much of a chance to get to know the us president, but he says they have a genuinely terrific relationship and see eye to eye on all sorts of things. he'll be hoping the reception is as warm when they meet in the oval office in the white house later. what would have been one of borisjohnson's key requests has already been fulfilled. in a surprise move yesterday, the us lifted its travel ban on uk citizens. but other issues could be more difficult. borisjohnson is expected to push the us to increase its climate commitments ahead of november's crucial climate change summit cop26, which will take place in glasgow. it's the moment when we have to grow up and take our responsibilities. i think we go through, you know, a period of glorious indifference about the world. we've been through that, we've been through our childhood, if you like. we've now got to realise that this is a problem that requires grip. the two men are also expected to discuss the situation in afghanistan after the two countries withdrew troops. and what about a trade deal? borisjohnson has been pretty downbeat about the chances of that happening quickly. he told reporters that american negotiators were pretty ruthless and that he would rather get a deal that works for the uk than get a quick deal. borisjohnson is meeting several world leaders this week, but this meeting will certainly be the most closely watched. helen catt, bbc news. the ministry of defence has apologised for a data breach which may have compromised the safety of dozens of afghan interpreters who worked for british forces. more than 250 people seeking relocation to the uk — many of whom are in hiding — were mistakenly copied into an emailfrom the mod, in which their names and some profile pictures were visible. defence secretary ben wallace has launched an investigation into how the breach occurred. a vigil has taken place for a woman and three children who were found dead at a house in derbyshire. hundreds of people gathered in the village of killamarsh, near sheffield, to lay flowers and messages of condolence in memory of terri harris, her 13—year—old sonjohn—paul, her 11—year—old daughter lacey, and lacey's friend connie gent — who was also 11. a 31—year—old man is being held on suspicion of murder. the duke of york has been served with a sexual assault lawsuit after the relevant paperwork was delivered to his us lawyer, according to his accuser�*s legal team. virginia giuffre is seeking damages after claiming prince andrew sexually assaulted her — which he vehemently denies. earlier this month, miss giuffre's lawyers tried to serve the paperwork by leaving it with police officers guarding the royal lodge in windsor, but the prince's legal team argued it was not a valid method of serving legal documents. the headlines on bbc news... the government insists a price cap must "remain in place" to protect consumers — amidst the disruption caused by soaring gas prices. borisjohnson and president biden are set to meet at the white house later — to discuss issues including afghanistan and climate change. the ministry of defence has apologised after a bbc investigation revealed a data breach involving the email addresses of more than 200 and 50 interpreters who worked for british forces in afghanistan. government borrowing was higher than expected in august as debt interest payments rose due to higher inflation. that's according to the latest figures from the 0ns. they show that borrowing, which is the difference between tax income and spending, was £20.5 billion. joining me with more on this is our business correspondent alice baxter. good morning. take us through these latest figures, if you would?

strange and unusual times. back to you. studio: thank you. police have launched a fresh appeal for information, 20 years after the torso of a young nigerian boy was found in the river thames. it is believed his death may have been a ritual killing. detectives called the boy adam but his identity is still unknown. our correspondent angus crawford has the story. a warning that some viewers may find his report distressing. just ten days after 9/11, a grim discovery in the river. nicknamed adam, he was believed to have been sacrificed in a ritualistic killing. and last saturday they placed a wreath in the river at the spot where his body was found. the torso of an african boy, his head and limbs removed, murdered in some kind of ritual. there were raids, arrests and scientific breakthroughs, but the boy has never been identified, no one ever charged with his murder. a source of real regret for one former officer in the case. the fact that we weren't able to prosecute is very frustrating. which is why the met is launching a new appeal for witnesses, asking people who stayed silent then to be bold and come forward now. a cemetery in east london, a cross with no name. adam's final resting place. 20 years on, i wish that we knew the identity of adam, his parents. you know, he is, in reality, a missing child from a family who probably don't know that he is here. hope, then, even after two decades of finding both his killers and his real name. angus crawford, bbc news. justin trudeau's liberal party will form the next government in canada after the country's

this week, it is going to remain dry, fine, temperatures above average for the time of year, but from tomorrow it will turn cooler and windier in the north. today what we've got is a lot of sunshine, some fair weather cloud with the weather front coming in across western scotland and the north—west of northern ireland and introducing thicker cloud and some patchy light rain and drizzle. with exposure across the north—west we see gusts of wind to gale force later in the day as well, and that will continue across the north and west of scotland as we go through the course of tonight. our weather front sinking south, bringing cloud with it. ahead of that, some clear skies, some pockets of mist and fog forming and by the end of the night some heavier and more persistent rain coming in across the north and the west of scotland. into tomorrow, this cloud and rain will sink a little bit further south, it will be blustery across scotland and to the east of the pennines, moving south again through the rest of england and wales, some dry weather and some sunshine with highs of 23. hello this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines: the government insists a price cap must "remain in place" to protect consumers — amidst the disruption caused by soaring gas prices. i'm very, very focused on protecting the most vulnerable, elderly people who are exposed to fuel poverty, and the government is resolutely focused on that. borisjohnson and president biden are set to meet at the white house later — to discuss issues including afghanistan and climate change. the ministry of defence has apologised after a bbc investigation revealed a data breach involving the email addresses of more than 250 interpreters who worked for british forces in afghanistan. canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau thanks the voters for returning him to power in the snap general election, but his party is projected to fall short of a parliamentary majority. a bbc investigation finds that children struggling with mental health problems during the pandemic faced "agonisingly" long waits for treatment. to sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. the pakistan cricket board have called england's decsion to abandon their tour of the country "absurd" despite new zealand cricket pulling out their team on friday over a specific and credible threat. the england mens and women's teams were due to play two t20 internationals on the 13th and 14th of october, with heather knight's side then staying on for three one dayers, the first time they'd have played in the country. whilst admitting to concerns over travel to the region, the ecb said the move was to protect the mental and physical well—being of the players. i'm extremely disappointed — so are the fans, actually. because, right now, we needed england, because it's a small cricket fraternity that we have. and so, in such times, we were expecting england tojust be a little bit more responsive and responsible, i guess. so we are hurt, but forward we shall move. security has been stepped up in leicester ahead of england's third odi with new zealand today. it's after a threatening email was received by the ecb relating to the touring side. new zealand cricket said the threat was investigated and deemed not credible, with the extra steps at the ground taken as a precautionary measure. there's been a major shake—up in the england squad with head coach eddiejones leaving out several big names ahead of a training camp later this month. billy and mako vunipola, jamie george, george ford and elliot daly have all been left out of the as—man squad, with quins fly—half marcus smith included. there are eight uncapped players called up for the camp which serves as prepration ahead of the november tests. the england women's coach sarina wiegman has revealed she had to pretend to be a boy growing up to be allowed to play the game. very differnt now as manager of england, a job she started this month — she takes her side to play luxembourg in world cup qualifying later. she amassed 100 caps as a player but it wasn't straightforward playing the game she loved growing up. when i started playing football as a six—year—old girl, you weren't allowed to play. so i played illegal. ijust have very short hair, looked a little bit maybe like a boy. my parents were really 0k. and i had a twin brother, so we just started to play and everyone said, "oh, that's ok." ijust wanted to say it wasn't normal then and now it'sjust normal. when you're a boy or a girl, you can play football. and the european ryder cup team must be feeling ready for action come friday. this was the team jetting out in style from heathrow yesterday. tommy fleetwood at the front there before touching down in the usa where they will look to succesfuilly defend their title. they've won the last four of the five editions. and padraig harrington is clearly revelling in his role as captain... hi, folks. this is your captain speaking. i've always wanted to say that. not your real captain on this flight, but many of you here today have put in a lot of work over the last three years to get to this point, so i would like to thank you for that. andy murray says he will "always be on the end of the phone" to help emma raducanu — but only if she asks for it. 18—year—old raducanu won the us open earlier this month, becoming the first qualifier to win a grand slam. murray said he "never really liked it when all of the ex—british tennis players were always wading in after every win and loss about what you should be doing, what you shouldn't be doing, and a lot of them also giving advice when you haven't asked for it as well." emma radacanu of course yet to decide if she will take a wild card at indian wells after her brilliant us open triumph. that's all the support for now. back to you, annita. john, thank you. the government is planning to give everyone the legal right to request flexible working which will include working from home as soon as they start a newjob. at the moment, workers have to wait until they've been in their role for six months. a consultation on the proposals will be launched this week. children with mental health disorders are facing long waits for treatment in england — with one area having an average lag of eight months between referral and the first session of counselling. that's the finding of a bbc investigation, which has revealed that one in five patients waited longer than 12 weeks. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson has been meeting some of the parents who are desperate to get help for their children. her report contains some details which you may find upsetting. that feeling of helplessness. i can't even describe how awful, as a parent, is to see that. you're waiting for a service that you know could help your child. the desperate situation facing some parents with a mentally ill child. when things get tough, this is where sue comes — her teenage daughter, who has self—harmed, has been waiting for mental—health treatment for almost two and a half years. we don't know how long it's going to be before she receives help, but when she does receive that help, you know, we don't know now how she's going to engage with that because of the wait. and, as i say, you know, i do wonder if, as a result of those delays, you know, she might end up needing medication because the anxiety is now so high. it's estimated, in england, 1.5 million under—18—year—olds have a probable mental—health disorder. but in the year to 2021, the child and adolescent mental health service — camhs — sawjust under a third of them. and data obtained by the bbc from half of camhs' services in england suggests, since the pandemic, one in five have waited longer than 12 weeks — and in one area, the average wait was nearly nine months. your teachers here really, really care about you, and... some teachers are so concerned they're telling parents not to bother with camhs. the additional support for mental health is completely overwhelmed as things stand currently. when i have parents that are in a really desperate situation, i'm often reluctant to refer them on to these services because i know the length of time that they will wait. and sometimes there just isn't that opportunity to wait — you need that support right there, right then to try and help the child and the family. sandra — not her real name. her 16—year—old daughter has waited three years for treatment, despite attempting suicide 17 times. you get told to call the crisis team, who are never there in times of crisis because you can only have a crisis between 8am and 6pm. and then you get referred to adult services who just say "ring an ambulance". the government says, due to the pandemic, nhs staff are now treating more children and young people than ever before. and that, thanks to the nhs long term plan, an additional 345,000 children and young people each year will get help. she can't imagine living her life feeling the way that she does. and so the consequence of having to wait this long is that it's done an awful lot of psychiatric damage to her, really. how painful is that to you? it's devastating. voice breaking: she is so talented. she's amazing at art and music. she's really creative. but when you are constantly trying to just keep your daughter alive another day, to hope that someone will give her some therapy... sorry. after five suicide attempts this summer, sandra's daughter was eventually referred for the therapy she needs. and sue's daughter — who's waited since october 2018 — has now been given an appointment. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. joining me now is the children's commissioner, dame rachel de souza. the children's commissioner for england. thank you so much for joining today. i have watched sophie's report a couple of times now and it is hugely distressing. i know you will agree with that. although the government says it has put more funding and more resources into children's mental health services, clearly given the scale of the crisis there isn't enough to go around. what do you as children's commissioner want to do about that? first off, my heart goes out to those... the parents of the children in the clips we have just heard and to anyone experiencing this. the first thing i would say, i have just completed and got through the results today of the largest surgery ever on 4—17 —year—olds in this country, over half a million responded. whilst they are resilient, keen for great futures, they are caring, so many great things about this generation, one things about this generation, one thing they have told me is their biggest concern is their mental health and well—being. so i think it is absolutely time, particularly coming out of the pandemic when we know things have got worse, children and young people have been isolated and young people have been isolated and on their own and away from their friends, and life has been so strange, i think it is absolutely time we prioritise children's well—being and mental health and i have some really practical things i think we can do and some solutions. first off on the serious end, absolutely the government has put more money into covid for the nhs and dealing with the response. i want to make sure that is prioritised on children's mental health. it is really important we deal with this, and dealing with theseissues deal with this, and dealing with these issues early and dealing with them when they are young will save a huge amount of suffering and will be really positive for the future. then there are a lot of practical things we can do it earlier i'm calling for as well, many which have started. first off, children have told me that where they want to get support for their mental well—being, they want to get it early, and the place they want to look for that is school, so it is imported we have seen your leaders, pastoral workers, trained who can respond to mental health issues, but also —— senior leaders. but also that we have... kids talking about digital counselling, cheap, easy to roll out, confidential, which is probably why they want to go there first, and schools could very well roll that out, and the paper has meant that the government has funded the nhs to roll—out mental health support teams across the whole country, so children wouldn't be waiting, as you heard in those clips. haifa children wouldn't be waiting, as you heard in those clips.— heard in those clips. how are you auoin to heard in those clips. how are you going to make — heard in those clips. how are you going to make sure, _ heard in those clips. how are you going to make sure, though, - heard in those clips. how are you | going to make sure, though, when heard in those clips. how are you - going to make sure, though, when you talk about prioritising children's mental health, how will you ensure that any catch up funding does that? well, i think, first of all, the mental health support teams are funded, theyjust need to roll—out quicker. last week i made it my business to speak to the uco of the nhs about this, and i will keep the pressure on —— new ceo. i will keep speaking to make sure this is done. it is an absolute priority but it is a priority both for health and schools. children can't learn if they are not feeling right, so we need to prioritise this in schools as well. schools do a greatjob in that early intervention, but we need to support them better with the roll—out of these mental health support teams. roll-out of these mental health support teams-— roll-out of these mental health support teams. you say they 'ust need to roll-out i support teams. you say they 'ust need to roll-out faster. �* support teams. you say they 'ust need to roll-out faster. but, h need to roll—out faster. but, surely, from what we are seeing in sophie's report, the issue is not necessarily the speed with which services are being rolled out, it's the fact that services are overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of children who are seeking help? what children who are seeking help? what is very interesting _ children who are seeking help? target is very interesting when we children who are seeking help? ltdrisgt is very interesting when we look around the country is that the support they were talking about there is very different, it“s support they were talking about there is very different, it's a postcode lottery. in some areas of the country councils are prioritising it, ccgs are prioritising it, ccgs are prioritising mental health support, doing it much more quickly, getting it sorted. my call is for all of them to do that. i am actually talking about a specific nhs commitment to roll—out nhs support teams on top of that so we can get early identification and support in so things don't even need to get as far as that. what i am saying, it's possible to deal with these things but it's going to take concerted action from ccgs and from the nhs. i“m action from ccgs and from the nhs. i'm calling on them to do that and giving them simple solutions to do that and not to forget schools in the centre as well because schools are the place children are telling me they really want to access support, and things could be a lot better for them support, and things could be a lot betterfor them if support, and things could be a lot better for them if things were picked up earlier. that is what they are saying. they want to be well, they know they need to look after their physical and mental health, and we need to get then that support quickly. i and we need to get then that support uuickl . ., ., ., ., and we need to get then that support uickl . ., ., ., ., quickly. i want to also ask you about something _ quickly. i want to also ask you about something you - quickly. i want to also ask you about something you said - quickly. i want to also ask you about something you said in l quickly. i want to also ask you - about something you said in response to your big ask survey, the survey of more than 500,000 children earlier last year. you talked about these children being a survivor generation, that they were far from being a snowflake generation, they were veterans of a global crisis. you know, this resilience is an admirable quality, quality which may well serve them very well in adult hood, but i wonder is it also a wake—up call to adults, because surely children deserve better than to have to be survivors at such a young age?— to have to be survivors at such a young age? to have to be survivors at such a cum aie? . , . , young age? absolutely, and i use the term heroic generation _ young age? absolutely, and i use the term heroic generation and _ young age? absolutely, and i use the term heroic generation and survivor l term heroic generation and survivor generation on purpose. kits have shown tremendous resilience and they are telling me, 80% of them, are telling me that my kids. they are happy, they are actually pleased with their lives, they want to get back to school, work hard, do well, they want a fairer and freer world, they want a fairer and freer world, they have a vision, most of them, their biggest priority is to do well at school and get a greatjob. but you're absolutely right. some of you“re absolutely right. some of them have come out of this bruised, some have come out vulnerable, and the fight has been heroic during the pandemic but they shouldn't have to be heroic now, we should look after them. that is my point about how we need to prioritise them now coming out of covid with all the catch up funding, all the covid funding. i want children at the heart of recovery. that's what we need to do. dame rachel de souza, children's commissionerfor dame rachel de souza, children's commissioner for england, dame rachel de souza, children's

responsible for the 2006 killing of alexander litvinenko, an outspoken critic of the russian government. he died after drinking green tea laced with the rare and very potent radioactive isotope polonium 210 at london's millennium hotel. a british inquiry also concluded in 2016 that president putin probably approved a russian intelligence operation to murder mr litvinenko. that news just coming in. the european court of human rights ruling russia was responsible in 2006 for the killing of alexander litvinenko. a documentary has shed new light on what the duke of edinburgh was like as a father and grandfather. all of the duke“s four children and grandchildren — but not the queen — took part in the programme, which will be broadcast on bbc one tomorrow. they portray prince philip as firm but fair, with a fondness for practicaljokes. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. as well as assisting - the queen, he has a separate and independentjob of his own. he ran his public life from this office in buckingham palace. he loved the latest technology. and, of course, he was famously forthright. he will always make everyone very clear where you stand. i think people find that refreshing, that they know that there's nothing else going on or there's no there's no games played. he's very upfront. he's very honest and he's very matter of fact. and he brought that same no—nonsense approach to most things, even to the royal family's barbecues, at which, inevitably, he took charge. he adored barbecuing. he turned that into an interesting art form. and if i ever tried to do it, i could never get the fire to light, or something. he“d say, “'go away!" and the barbecues were the perfect place for practicaljokes. one of the games he used to enjoy playing when we used to go forfamily barbecues. instead of like a mustard pot, we had a squeezy mustard tube. and he used to take the lid off and put it in your hands. he gets you to hold it. gets you to hold it in your hands and the lid's off. i and i can't remember exactly what he says, but he ends up slamming your hands together. and then he'd squish your hands together to fire the mustard onto the ceiling. it went all over the ceiling. he used to get in a lot of trouble from my grandmother for covering most of the places we had lunch and things with mustard on the ceiling. i actually think the marks are still there. yeah, i think so. you know, he enjoyed those jokes. he enjoyed messing around with the children and kind of being a grandfather. the duke of edinburgh fondly remembered by his family.

they really were able to be agile, to adapt very quickly, to be agile, to adapt very quickly, to work out what their communities needed. so they started really immediately, after the lockdown was announced, thinking and doing things for their communities, notjust art for their communities, not just art packs for their communities, notjust art packs delivered to people's doors, but digitaljigsaws and pub visits online. one of them, the thackray museum of medicine, became the first vaccination centre amongst museums in the uk. timespan created recipes for a disaster online for

locally in the community, shop centres, shop windows or in their own windows so people could see art or science or local heritage as they walked through the quiet cities, they also went digital. and for these small museums, that's really quite something because they don't have massive resources. they are quite modest in size and scale. some of them only have one or two might permanent members of staff, so we are talking quite small but very, very agile and incredibly brilliant museums who went digital and now have following around the world as well as locally —— one or two permanent members.

across the north and it will also turn progressively cooler. what we have at the moment is not a lot of cloud. a lot of high cloud around but a fair bit of sunshine. later in the day a week where the front will show its hand, coming in from the north—west and it will introduce thicker cloud and some spots of light rain or drizzle to western scotland. the cloud encroaching across the north—west of northern ireland as well. still some fog to lift at the moment, in parts of east anglia, but that will go and then much of the uk will be bathed in some sunshine. variable amounts of cloud as you can see across the channel island and southern england, but not spoiling it, the sunshine. the same for wales in the midlands, and east anglia where we have that fog. northern ireland and scotland also seem some sunshine and parts of northern ireland will also see the sunshine but out towards the west is where we have the thicker cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle. temperatures ranging from 14 in the north to 21 in aberdeen and also in london. through this evening and overnight, winds will continue to strengthen across the north and western exposure, touching gale force at times. a week where the front sinking south bringing not much more than cloud with it, then southern england and also wales, some clear skies, some patchy mist and fog forming here and there and in rural areas it will be cooler. in the night we also have this new weather front coming our way which will introduce heavy rain and more persistent rain as well. tomorrow that will slowly sink southwards across scotland eventually getting into northern ireland. it will be blustery across scotland tomorrow, not as windy as today, and also to the east of the pennines. come south, week front crossing us bringing in some cloud at times but equally there will be sunny spells. behind this band of rain across north—west scotland, you can expect some blustery showers and also some sunny spells as well. into thursday, if anything the wind is going to ease. it will be when the across the far north of scotland, overnight winds, that easing as well, you can see a lot of dry weather. we start off with some rain across the north and later we will see some rain coming in across the west. temperatures between ten and 21 degrees. into the weekend, still a fair bit of dry weather around on saturday, for example, with a few showers around, but on sunday we might see some rain coming in from the west, but i will keep you posted on that one. this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world.
