he added the government could subsidise the country's biggest carbon dioxide producer to bolster supplies, but ruled out nationalising the company. senior representatives of the food and drinks industry will meet ministers later amidst warnings of empty shelves in supermarkets, to discuss the knock—on effects of high gas prices. meanwhile, i'd love to hear from you this morning — your thoughts on the issue and if you are seeing problems in your local area. you can tweet me @annita—mcveigh, using #bbcyourquestions 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 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. it's really important we deal with this, and dealing with these issues early and dealing with them when they're young will save a amount of suffering and be really positive for the future. and coming up this hour, we go behind royal walls to see at what the duke of edinburgh was like as a father and grandfather. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. world leaders arrive later in new york for the un general assembly. top of the agenda — major global challenges, ending the pandemic, vaccine access and climate change. but on the opening day, all eyes will be onjoe biden as he makes his first address to the un as president. later today the uk's prime minister borisjohnson will meet president biden at the white house to discuss topics including climate change, trade and the situation in afghanistan. the pair last met in person at the g7 summit in the summer. 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. our 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. as we've heard, the world's diplomatic community descends on new york for the annual un general assembly this week. covid restrictions are forcing many leaders to attend virtually for a second year. top of the agenda — major global challenges — ending the pandemic, vaccine access and the challenge of climate change. but on the opening day, all eyes will be onjoe biden, as he makes his first address to the un as president. barbara plett usher reports from new york. nothing like some k—pop beats to kick off the annual un extravaganza. it's back after a covid year, if not with a bang, then at least with a bit of south korean millennial mega stardom. combating the coronavirus is still a hot topic and with the delta variant on the rampage, plans for a return to normal were scaled down. the americans are afraid of hosting a super spreader event. presidentjoe biden is the star attraction here, changing the tone of donald trump's belligerent america first. mr biden is expected to champion multilateralism and global cooperation, making the case for the world to act urgently to fight climate change and the pandemic. but at the same time, there is a sort of �*go it alone�* quality to his administration which has overshadowed his debut here. biden dismayed nato allies with his abrupt largely unilateral decision to pull out of afghanistan. and his warm relationship with france has gone cold. president macron is furious about washington's surprise nuclear submarine deal with australia that torpedoed a french contract. the arrangement was aimed at confronting growing chinese power. president biden talks about competition, china sees mostly confrontation. the un secretary general is warning of a new cold war between washington and beijing. britain will need both of them to deliver on climate goals. borisjohnson has been bringing ringing the alarm year, a last chance to push for pledges of more ambitious action before the huge climate negotiations in scotland. on the agenda this year are the kinds of global crises the un is built to manage but on display, the kind of dysfunctions that thwart its efforts to do so. here in the uk, 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, there have also been warnings that a shortage of carbon dioxide could lead to gaps on supermarket shelves. the uk's main co2 supplier, cf industries, stopped production due to the spike in prices. the gas is used throughout the food industry, from stunning animals for slaughter to packaging products and in refridgerated transport. the uk government and energy regulator ofgem have said that limits on energy bills will stay. the energy price cap protects customers from sudden hikes in wholesale gas prices. however it means firms are unable to pass on high wholesale costs, which is forcing some to go out of business. this morning the business secretary said "not every company" could expect a government bailout, but support could be available for larger firms. kwasi kwarteng added that he hoped to have a "very clear plan" to get co2 production back up and running this week. opposition politicians have expressed concern, with labour describing the problems as a crisis that "should have been foreseen". 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 co2 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 suppliers 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 ione wells is in westminster. picking up on the point in that report, the government saying it will not fail to failed energy suppliers but obviously there have to be some energy suppliers and they need support in this crisis —— it will not bailfailed need support in this crisis —— it will not bail failed energy suppliers. will not bail failed energy sunpliers-_ will not bail failed energy su- liers. ., will not bail failed energy su liers. ., ., , will not bail failed energy su liers. ., .,, , suppliers. the government has been ve clear suppliers. the government has been very clear about _ suppliers. the government has been very clear about that _ suppliers. the government has been very clear about that but _ suppliers. the government has been very clear about that but they - suppliers. the government has been very clear about that but they have l very clear about that but they have been clear that something needs to been clear that something needs to be done because the existing model for how firms in the situation would be supported is not working, because gas prices going up has meant lots of smallerfirms are gas prices going up has meant lots of smaller firms are at risk of going under. in that scenario the customers from those smaller firms would be redistributed to other firms with more capital, absorbed into other companies essentially. at the moment that is looking less appealing than usual for some of those other companies because if we are expecting more firms than usual to go under this year, any more customers in the pool of people who need to be allocated becomes unattractive for the firms that can afford to take more people on, so given there is a cap on how much companies can charge for energy costs, the fear is that the firms will not be able to afford to take on more customers than usual because they cannot pass on cuts to their customers so they would then potentially be facing a loss, so that existing model is not looking like it will work currently so the government is looking at alternatives. they have been very clear they do not want to bail and failing firms, the business secretary has said that is not a good use of taxpayers' money but on bbc breakfast earlier he said they are considering loans, he stresses loans, not grants, to support some customers who may need to take on more customers this year. 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. i think the calculation for the government is very different when it comes to them talking about the supply of co2, the co2 shortage, because while multiple energy companies are operating in the uk market there are essentially two big fertiliser plants which produce 60% of the co2 used in all sorts of food production, so what is the government saying on that? fix, production, so what is the government saying on that? a very different calculation _ government saying on that? a very different calculation which - government saying on that? a very different calculation which has - government saying on that? a very| different calculation which has been drawn into really sharp focus after the uk's biggest supplier of co2, this us company called cf fertilisers, which is based in england, had to stop production of carbon dioxide because of rising gas prices, which has led industry figures, the food and drink industry to say that within about ten days customers could really start to feel the impact of the co2 shortage because we know carbon dioxide is very necessary for things like the meat industry and also frozen food supplies, so the government is keen to act urgently on fixing the carbon dioxide shortage, and on this point the business secretary who has been speaking to the ceo of cf cut fertilisers, they are hoping to have movement on this today, but they suggested they are potentially in discussion with providing support at the suggestion being it could look slightly more like a subsidy rather than a loan, as we discussed with some energy firms. there are still lots of things in the mix, not least that he will need to have discussions with his counterparts in the uk treasury who would have to stump up the cost for any subsidy provided to the company. home stump up the cost for any subsidy provided to the company. ione wells, our political — provided to the company. ione wells, our political correspondence - provided to the company. ione wells, our political correspondence in - our political correspondence in westminster for us. thank you. let's take a look at what the energy price cap is. around 15 million households in england, wales and scotland face a i2% 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. let's get more on the co2 shortage — joining me now is andrew opie, director of food and sustainability at the british retail consortium. andrew, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. what are supermarket bosses saying about the impact of this c02 bosses saying about the impact of this

is die—casting away from that so there is not —— so there is more supply and more variety of supply, meaning structural changes in how we capture carbon dioxide, which would be linked to climate

justin trudeau's liberal party will form the next government in canada after the country's second general election in two years. conservative opposition leader, erin o'toole, has already conceded defeat. but in a blow to prime minister trudeau it's expected to be a minority administration. the poll was called in the hope that trudeau's liberal party could win enough seats to govern alone — unshackled by the constraints of coalition government. samira hussein reports. in his third consecutive election win, justin trudeau greets his supporters as the prime minister of canada. but this win was far from guaranteed and at times his future as leader looked uncertain. i hear you when you say you just want to get back to the things you love, not to worry about this pandemic or about an election, that you just want to know that your members of parliament of all stripes will have your back through this crisis and beyond. this is a victory for justin trudeau, who managed to hold onto his position as prime minister. but he was unable to deliver on the parliamentary majority he desperately wanted and it will inevitably lead to many canadians to wonder why they went to the polls in the first place. it is a beautiful day to vote, i encourage everyone to get out. justin trudeau, the man born with a silver spoon in his mouth, wanted to be seen as a man of the people, standing in line to vote like everyone else. he cast his ballot in an election he called, which many canadians did not want. opposition leader erin o'toole tried to use that to his advantage, openly criticising this mr trudeau's decision to try canadians to the polls. he ran a centrist campaign, helping to turn disaffected liberal voters into conservative ones. five weeks ago mr trudeau was after a majority, saying the minority parliament was, quote, unworkable. tonight canadians did not give him the majority mandate he wanted. in fact, canadians sent him back with another minority at the cost of $600 million and deeper divisions in our great country. it may be a new day in canada, but people here have barely taken notice. it is the same old leadership. six weeks of campaigning and very little has actually changed. samira hussain, bbc news, montreal. 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. uk 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 ons. 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. take through this

were in extraordinary times, the government propping up all sorts of financial covid related schemes. that number of £20.5 billion, still the drop that we saw, £5 billion less than last year, was still less than many economists had expected, but earlier i spoke to the senior economist at hsbc, liz martins, and i asked her despite the drop being less than many thought would happen, was it still

public holiday, but the reason we saw this global sell—off was due to an enormous property company in china. the issue is it is showing signs that it can't meet interest payments on a whopping $300 billion debt and there are lots of large banks exposed to that that and economists all around the world are worried about the ricochet effect that this potential failing of a huge property company could have not just on the chinese economy but the global economy. people are already starting to talk about this is china's liman brothers, a reference to the bank in the states that provigil is not too big to fail and started the global financial crisis of 2008, if you like. —— china's lehman brothers. all eyes are on what the company does in china, the effect on markets, on monday we saw a

of alexander litvinenko, an outspoken critic of the russian government who 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 litvinenko. let's get more on this with her security correspondent gordon corera. this was a case brought by the victim's widow, marina, really trying to hammer home that point about state responsibility for her husband's death, and as you say there was an inquiry in 2016 by the uk government pointing the finger at the kremlin and speaking about people linked to the russian security service. this went to the european court of human rights and the argument was russia had a responsible to investigate but it failed to do _ responsible to investigate but it failed to do so _ responsible to investigate but it failed to do so and _ responsible to investigate but

lava is continuing to flow on the spanish island of la palma after a volcano erupted on sunday. the molten rock has already destroyed at least a hundred homes — and local officials say it could trigger explosions and toxic gasses when it reaches the sea. the eruption has forced 5,000 people to move to safety. it's the first time the volcano has erupted in 50 years. summary now of our main stories for you on bbc news. in the us world leaders meet at the united nations to discuss issues including coronavirus and climate change. borisjohnson and president biden are also due to meet at the white house later russia was responsible for the 2006 killing of the former spy alexander litvinenko in london, the european court of human rights has ruled. the uk 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. he added the government could subsidise the country's biggest carbon dioxide producer to bolster supplies, but ruled out nationalising the company. 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 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 in england during the pandemic faced "agonisingly" long waits for treatment. let's return to the news that 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 prime minister has met a president at the white house since theresa may visited donald trump there in 2017. with me now is leslie vinjamuri, director of the us and the americas programme at chatham house. leslie, lovely to have you with us, as ever. but let me begin with something happening before all of that, and president by then's address to the un general assembly. this is a big dealfor him —— president biden. especially given the situation in afghanistan and the criticism over his handling of that. will that hamper his effort to reset the town he wants to strike with the rest of the world?— rest of the world? well, i think it certainly raises _ rest of the world? well, i think it certainly raises the _ rest of the world? well, i think it certainly raises the bar. - rest of the world? well, i think it certainly raises the bar. people l certainly raises the bar. people will be very concerned about what the commitment is that this us president has two those values, clearly so important to him. as he moves forward with what was originally president obama's policy, to pivot very strategically about asia. august was a very difficult month. it was a difficult month for the alliance. i think we will see president biden talk about principled competition, we are told, so values up front and centre in area that will be deeply competitive, where cooperation on the big global public challenges is key, but i think in light of afghanistan people want to be reassured president biden still has a claim on moral authority, on leadership, and that he will remain committed to addressing what will be an ongoing and very serious humanitarian situation in afghanistan.— humanitarian situation in afuhanistan. �*, ., ,, ., afghanistan. let's talk about the meetin: afghanistan. let's talk about the meeting between _ afghanistan. let's talk about the meeting between boris - johnson and joe biden later on at the white house today. borisjohnson describing the relationship between the uk and us as as good as it has been for decades. what you make of that description? i been for decades. what you make of that description?— that description? i think it is a very good _ that description? i think it is a very good moment _ that description? i think it is a very good moment and - that description? i think it is a - very good moment and remember we that description? i think it is a _ very good moment and remember we are coming from quite a low bar of the trump years, the brexit years, and now we are turning. hearing the news that the united states will finally open its border to brits and european in early november, that is very significant, i think not to be underestimated on the back of the announcement of the august deal, giving it some clear substance, so i think the prime minister boris johnson is going to new york, to washington, at a moment when it looks like there is a meeting of the mines, and also there is a clear shared commitment to tackling the climate challenge and the cop26 with the uk ahead convening that, so one can always look back to the g7 and remember things didn't look so good surrounding afghanistan but i think a word of caution that things might look very rosy right now, but of course this is a president that is determined to move forward a very transformative and strategic agenda, and if the uk wants to be part of that and be alongside that it will come with an expectation. let’s that and be alongside that it will come with an expectation. let's talk about climate _ come with an expectation. let's talk about climate in _ come with an expectation. let's talk about climate in a _ come with an expectation. let's talk about climate in a little _ come with an expectation. let's talk about climate in a little bit - come with an expectation. let's talk about climate in a little bit more - about climate in a little bit more detail. is that where we could see the main agreement between the two leaders? especially if the us is going to say, yes, we will provide more money to back—up all of these grand words around climate change ahead of cop26? that grand words around climate change ahead of com?— grand words around climate change ahead of cop26? that is i think what prime minister _ ahead of cop26? that is i think what prime ministerjohnson _ ahead of cop26? that is i think what prime ministerjohnson will - ahead of cop26? that is i think what prime ministerjohnson will be - prime ministerjohnson will be looking for and i think it is what he would like to be able to take home. as we know, the headlines right now are about the failure of the prime minister to be able to deliver on that long talked about us trade deal. prime ministerjohnson had really moved away from that as a focus as far back as the munich security conference, and his speech has clearly focused on other issues to forge that relationship, and putting climate right at the top with only a handful of weeks left to go to cop26 is absolutely critical. and what we are hearing is that president biden might make some announcements about america's commitments, and remember that that climate agenda in the united states is also very deeply domestic one. it is also very deeply domestic one. it is integral to the president's social infrastructure plan, to his budget. so these two world leaders are very much aligned on that value and now it is a question really of concrete delivery. just and now it is a question really of concrete delivery.— concrete delivery. just briefly, if ou concrete delivery. just briefly, if you would. _ concrete delivery. just briefly, if you would, leslie, _ concrete delivery. just briefly, if you would, leslie, you - concrete delivery. just briefly, if i you would, leslie, you mentioned concrete delivery. just briefly, if - you would, leslie, you mentioned the trade deal. borisjohnson saying the us has other fish to fry, as he sought to downplay i suppose the prospect of any movement on that in this visit. is that perhaps an unspoken and delete my acknowledgement from him that those difficulties remain with regards to the us and how it sees the issue of the us and how it sees the issue of the northern ireland protocol? —— perhaps an unspoken acknowledgement. absolutely. nobody has been quiet about that. nancy pelosi spoke about this at chatham house last friday and joe biden has been very clear. but i think the other thing to note of course, this is not a us president that wants to make trade and trade deals the headline news at the moment. he has a very complex party to negotiate, very complex electorate. trade has been deeply political. i think right now the focus is really on asia, on alliances. troubled obviously in recent days but really looking forward in a positive and productive way before getting down to some of the really important and difficult issues of trade. dr the really important and difficult issues of trade.— issues of trade. dr leslie vinjamuri, _ issues of trade. dr leslie

very much. let's return to the news that here in the uk the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, says time is of the essence in resolving the problems caused by rising gas prices, and the knock—on impact on the food sector. he has said he is hopeful of progress today on getting more carbon dioxide supplies to chilled food distributors, and the meat industry. joining me now is professor stuart haszeldine, an expert in carbon capture and storage at the university of edinburgh. good to have you with us, professor. just explain for us to begin, at the very beginning, how the process works now. as we discussed with other gas, we know there are two fertiliser production plants which are responsible for giving the uk 60% of the c02 it are responsible for giving the uk 60% of the co2 it needs. when that co2 is captured there, who is that distributed around other industry? —— how is that restricted. distributed around other industry? -- how is that restricted.- -- how is that restricted.

coronavirus and climate change. borisjohnson and president biden are set to meet at the white house later. russia was responsible for the 2006 killing of the former spy alexander litvinenko in london, the european court of human rights has ruled. the uk government insists a price cap must "remain in place" to protect consumers — amidst the disruption caused by soaring gas prices. 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. earlier i spoke to the children's commissioner for england, dame rachel de souza, about her priorties to deliever more efficient children's mental health services. 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's prioritised on children's mental health. it's really important we deal with this, and dealing with these issues early and dealing with them when they're 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 that i'm calling for as well, many of 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, important we have senior leaders, pastoral workers, trained who can respond to mental health issues, but also that we have... kids talking about digital counselling, which is 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. last week i made it my business to speak to the nhs about this, and i will keep the pressure on. 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're not feeling right, so we need to prioritise this in schools as well. schools do a greatjob in that early intervention and early spot, but we need to support them better with the roll—out of these mental health support teams. it's possible to deal with these things but it's going to take concerted 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 if things were picked up earlier. that's 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 use the term survivor generation and wrote generation on purpose. these kids are resilient. 80% of them are telling me they are happy. they want to get on with their lives, get back to school, work hard, do well, they want a fairer and greener world, and for most of then the biggest priority was to do well at school and get a greatjob, but you're absolutely right, some of that delay might have come out of this bruised, some have come out vulnerable, and they have been heroic during the pandemic but now we should look after them, they shouldn't have to be now. that is my point, really. we need to prioritise then now coming out of covid with all the catch up funding, with all the covid funding. i want children at the heart of recovery. that's what we need to do now. that at the heart of recovery. that's what we need to do now. that was the children's commissioner— what we need to do now. that was the children's commissioner for _ what we need to do now. that was the children's commissioner for england, | children's commissioner for england, dame rachel de souza. and if you've been affected by the issues we've been talking about go to bbc.co.uk/actionline for details of organisations offering information and support, or you can call forfree, at any time to hear recorded information on 0800 066 066. in the last few moments we have been getting reaction from the kremlin on the ruling by the european court of human rights that russia was responsible for the killing in 2006 in london of alexander litvinenko, an outspoken critic of the russian government who died after drinking tea laced with the radioactive isotope polonium 210. the kremlin spokesman on a daily conference call with journalists in the last few moments gave this in response. " it is unlikely the european court of human rights has the powers are technical possibilities to have any information about this, the litvinenko case, and said there are still no results of this investigation is of such assertions are at the very least baseless. they said —— "we are not prepared to pay attention to such decisions. " that is the reaction from the kremlin to the ruling by the european court of human rights that russia was responsible to the killing of alexander litvinenko. you're watching bbc news. joanna will be here with you next. before that, time for a look at the weather with carol. hello, again. temperatures at the moment arejust a little bit above average for the time of the year, so if you are in the sunshine, it will feel quite pleasant for the next couple of days. it is also going to be dry for most. however, having said that, it is going to turn windier and cooler in the north from later today. you can see the isobars indicating the strength of the wind. this weak weather front producing some rain or drizzle, but there is another one waiting in the wings which overnight will produce some heavier rain. so a lot of dry weather today. variable amounts of cloud, some sunshine, but out towards the north and the west we do have that weak weather front which is bringing in more cloud and also some patchy rain or some drizzle. with exposure, especially in the north and west, some of the gusts of wind could catch gale force and that will continue overnight, as well. overnight, you can see how our weather front sinks south. not much more than a band of cloud, by then. ahead of it, under clear skies, it will be chilly and we will see a return to mist and fog forming. here is our second weatherfront coming in, bringing in some heavier and more persistent rain. so it is courtesy of this weatherfront, isobars are still close together, high pressure still dominating the weather in the south, so things are still fairly settled. any mist and fog will lift quite readily and then there will be a fair bit of sunshine with our weak weather front sinking south and continuing to break up. tomorrow is going to be blustery across scotland and also to the east of the pennines, but not quite as windy as today. behind this weather front bringing rain, we will see a return to blustery showers with some sunny spells in between. as we move from wednesday into thursday, our weather front pushes further south as more or less a bands of cloud and we will also have another front in the north of the country introducing some rain, but it will be not be quite as windy on thursday as earlier on in the week. there will be a lot of dry weather around, some sunshine. a week weather front pushing down into the english channel, but at the same time we will see more rain arriving across western scotland. cooler in the north, that bit warmer in the south. into the weekend, we've got weather fronts dotted around. one coming up from the south. note the isobars as we go through the course of the weekend, so it will be breezy at times, but in summary, for many of us it will be dry. one or two showers around on saturday. on sunday we might see more rain coming in later from the west. this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling. the headlines at 11... a third man has been accused of involvement in the poisonings in salisbury and amesbury three years ago, following a metropolitan police investigation. it comes as the european court of human rights rules that russia was responsible for the 2006 killing of the former spy alexander litvinenko in london. the kremlin says the decision is baseless. the uk 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. mr kwarteng added the government could subsidise the country's biggest carbon dioxide producer to bolster supplies, but ruled out nationalising the company. borisjohnson and president biden are set to meet at the white house later to discuss coronavirus, climate change and trade. a bbc investigation finds that children struggling with mental health problems during the pandemic faced "agonisingly" long waits for treatment. it's really important we 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 be really positive for the future. and coming up this hour, we go behind royal walls to see what the duke of edinburgh was like as a father and grandfather. hello. we start with some breaking news. a third man has been accused of involvement in the poisonings in salisbury and amesbury three years ago, following a metropolitan police investigation. three people were left critically ill from the novichok nerve agent and a woman, dawn sturgess, died four months later after being poisoned. a file of evidence against russian intelligence officer denis sergeev, who used the name sergey fedotov, has been passed to the crown prosecution service, who have authorised charges. these are pictures released by the metropolitan police and show his movements around the incident in 2018. let's speak now to our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. daniel, this must have been a painstaking investigation by the metropolitan police as they piece together what happened and came up with a third suspect?— with a third suspect? three and a half ears with a third suspect? three and a half years on _ with a third suspect? three and a half years on and _ with a third suspect? three and a half years on and they'll- with a third suspect? three and a half years on and they'll still- half years on and they'll still going. they now had sufficient evidence, they say, for the crown prosecution service to authorise seven charges against denis sergeev, who was using the namesake a fair detail. he is in his 50s, leave to be a very high—ranking member of the gru, russian military intelligence —— using the name sergey fedotov. he flew into heathrow on friday the 2nd of march, two days before the poisoning, before the novichok was smeared on the door handle of the skripals' house, he was in london all that weekend, had several meetings with the two other suspects, some outdoors, then he flew out of heathrow at about 145 on the sunday, the day the poison was smeared on the door handles, a couple of hours after that is believed to have happened. the charges are essentially the same as the other two men, conspiracy to murder sergei skripal, the attempted murder sergei

any of those three men was to leave russia and go to a state that wanted to help britain than they could be arrested and extradited to britain to stand trial, but the expectation is that the russians will never give these men are planned probably they will not travel outside of russia again. these men are believed to have been involved in other operations in europe, notably in bulgaria in 2015, the czech republic in 2014 where there was an explosion in 2014 where there was an explosion in which two people died and another poisoning in bulgaria. police have concluded that three men, all actual members of the gru, there is credible evidence they were directly responsible for this deployment of novichok in britain which could have killed thousands of people if it got out of control.—

- out of control. separately, the l european court of human rights out of control. separately, the - european court of human rights has willed this morning, issued a ruling on the murder of alexander litvinenko and linked vladimir putin with that. what has the european court of human rights said? alexander litvinenko was poisoned with polonium 210, a dangerous radioactive substance put in his tea when he was having tea with other russians in london. a british public inquiry concluded that those two russians were responsible for his death and likely the kremlin had directed that. that case has gone to the european court of human rights because alexander litvinenko's widow has been trying to hold the russian state responsible for alexander litvinenko's killing, and they have concluded that essentially the british court was correct. they gave russia the opportunity to give an alternative explanation as to why these two men... was it a rogue operation? and the court concluded that had they been involved in a rogue operation, the information to prove that theory could lie entirely in the hands of the russian authorities. the government had made no serious attempt to provide such information or counter the findings of the uk authorities and the european court of human rights has concluded that russia authorised that poisoning. this morning the kremlin spokesman said such assertions are in the very least baseless and we are not prepared to pay attention to such decisions. pressure is part of the council of europe and does subscribe to the european court of human rights' decisions, so that will be hard for than to deal with. potentially, where does it go? i don't think anywhere, to be honest. the coach is authorised for compensation of £100,000, i don't even know if russia will deal with that but its support from the european court of human rights, an international court, for what the british court concluded. russia had always claimed these were just political allegations and was entirely baseless, they came up with all sorts of other ideas about whether or not the british state killed alexander litvinenko and the european court of human rights has basically concluded that the litvinenko inquiry conclusions were correct and this was a state—sponsored assassination. correct and this was a state-sponsored assassination. thank ou, state-sponsored assassination. thank you. daniel- — we're joined by christo grozev, who is the lead russia investigator at the the investigative website bellingcat. bellingcat first identified a third

people would never be headed to the uk forjust it would be a sign of goodwill for russia to contribute, but if russia is the guilty party, it will not cooperate. we should not underestimate the naming and shaming effective statements like today's. and on the other hand the fact that such statements and investigations disable a whole set of clandestine operational units of russia, because now that these three operatives have been named, we have also named the number of others, more than ten additional is of the same clandestinely unit, these people cannot travel any more. so it is not just them

alongside concerns about rising energy bills, there have also been warnings that a shortage of carbon dioxide could lead to gaps on supermarket shelves. the uk's main co2 supplier, cf industries, stopped production due to the spike in prices. the gas is used throughout the food industry, from stunning animals for slaughter to packaging products and in refridgerated transport. the uk government and energy regulator ofgem have said that limits on energy bills will stay. the energy price cap protects customers from sudden hikes in wholesale gas prices. however it means firms are unable to pass on high wholesale costs, which is forcing some to go out of business. this morning the business secretary said not every company could expect a government bailout, but support could be available for larger firms. kwasi kwarteng added that he hoped to have a very clear plan to get co2 production back up and running this week. opposition politicians have expressed concern, with labour describing the problems as a crisis that should have been foreseen. 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 co2 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 co2. 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 suppliers 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. this morning, the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, said that the government aren't looking to bail out energy suppliers which have to cease trading, but he was considering loans for the firms that take on their customers. 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. the headlines on bbc news... a third man has been accused of involvement in the poisonings in salisbury and amesbury three years ago, following a metropolitan police investigation russia was responsible for the 2006 killing of the former spy alexander litvinenko in london, the european court of human rights has ruled. the uk government insists a price cap must �*remain in place' to protect consumers — amidst the disruption caused by soaring gas prices 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. our 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. as we've heard, the world's diplomatic community descends on new york for the annual un general assembly this week. covid restrictions are forcing many leaders to attend virtually for a second year. barbara plett usher reports from new york. nothing like some k—pop beats to kick off the annual un extravaganza. it's back after a covid year, if not with a bang, then at least with a bit of south korean millennial mega stardom. combating the coronavirus is still a hot topic and with the delta variant on the rampage, plans for a return to normal were scaled down. the americans are afraid of hosting a super spreader event. presidentjoe biden is the star attraction here, changing the tone of donald trump's belligerent america first. mr biden is expected to champion multilateralism and global cooperation, making the case for the world to act urgently to fight climate change and the pandemic. but at the same time, there is a sort of �*go it alone' quality to his administration which has overshadowed his debut here. biden dismayed nato allies with his abrupt largely unilateral decision to pull out of afghanistan. and his warm relationship with france has gone cold. president macron is furious about washington's surprise nuclear submarine deal with australia that torpedoed a french contract. the arrangement was aimed at confronting growing chinese power. president biden talks about competition, china sees mostly confrontation. the un secretary general is warning of a new cold war between washington and beijing. britain will need both of them to deliver on climate goals. borisjohnson has been bringing ringing the alarm year, a last chance to push for pledges of more ambitious action before the huge climate negotiations in scotland. on the agenda this year are the kinds of global crises the un is built to manage but on display, the kind of dysfunctions that thwart its efforts to do so. police have arrested 23 people after environmental protesters targeted the m25 for a fifth time in just over a week. surrey police say they were called to junctions 9 and 10 of the motorwayjust after 8 this morning following reports of insulate britain protesters on the clockwise and anti—clockwise carriageways. the protesters say they are campaigning to improve home insulation. let me bring you a statement from the crown prosecution service on its decision to announce charges against a third suspect in relation to the salisbury novichok attack in 2018. the crown prosecution service's head of special crime and counterterrorism division has said "we are working closely with the police to ensure that where possible those responsible are brought to justice. our specialist prosecutors have considered evidence against the third suspect and concluded there was sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction and it is clearly in the public interest to charge sergey fedotov, a russian national, with a number of offences including conspiracy to murder, attempted murder and the use and possession of a chemical weapon. we will not apply to russia for the extradition of sergey fedotov is the russian constitution does not permit extradition of its own nationals. russia made this clear following requests for extradition in other cases. should this position change that an extradition request will be made. a realistic prospect of conviction means the cps is satisfied that the evidence can be used in court and an objective, impartial and reasonable jury on hearing the case is more likely than not to convict sergey fedotov of the charges. it is of course for a jury to decide if the evidence is to be sure of the suspect�*s guild." but as they made clear, they will not apply to russia for the extradition of sergey fedotov. lava has been flowing on the spanish island of la palma after a volcano erupted on sunday. the molten rock has already destroyed at least a hundred homes — and local officials say it could trigger explosions and toxic gasses when it reaches the sea. let's show you the live pictures of that huge cloud of smoke over the area. our correspondent danjohnson sent this report from la palma. homes that once enjoyed views of this island's impressive volcanic landscape are now being smothered under it. the relentless downhill creep of molten lava burns its way through anything it touches. the eruption follows a week of tremors, but nobody has seen anything like this on la palma for half a century. "look, look, it's falling," the man says. another house destroyed. that's more than 100 now, either burned or buried. "eight metres of lava," he says. nobody can stop the lava and nobody can control where it goes. these are the strongest forces of nature at work in a spectacular but destructive display, and the only option is to get out of its way. translation: right now, the most important thing l is to guarantee security. we are still in the eruption phase. please, let's be extremely careful. so residents of four villages have been ordered to safety and some tourists have decided to go home. i am worried, or i am sorry for all the people who are losing or have already lost their houses. there is no good feeling now on this island and therefore we want - to leave as fast as possible. this is a disaster movie in slow motion. the lava keeps crawling towards the sea. spain's tourism minister sees an opportunity — a chance to entice tourists back to view the eruption from a safe distance, because nobody knows how long this will last. danjohnson, bbc news, la palma. 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. 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. 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. inafew in a few moments we will have the latest headline. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. for many of us 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 joanna gosling. the headlines: a third man has been accused of involvement in the poisonings in salisbury and amesbury three years ago, following a metropolitan police investigation. three people were left critically ill from the novichok nerve agent and a woman, dawn sturgess, died four months later after being poisoned. it comes as the european court of human rights rules that russia was responsible for the 2006 killing of the former spy alexander litvinenko in london. the kremlin says the decision is �*baseless'. the uk 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. mr kwarteng added the government could subsidise the country�*s biggest carbon dioxide producer to bolster supplies — but ruled out nationalising the company, borisjohnson and president biden are set to meet at the white house later to discuss coronavirus, climate change and trade. let�*s get more on one of our stories. ministers are due to meet representatives from the food and drinks industry today, to discuss the disruption caused by soaring wholesale gas prices. damian grammaticas is in westminsterfor us. there in westminster for us. the there in westminsterfor us. the business there in westminster for us. the business secretary sour as there the business secretary sounds as if he has made his mind up. there is this two-pronged _ as if he has made his mind up. there is this two-pronged strategy. - as if he has made his mind up. ii—urr is this two—pronged strategy. one is to tackle the issue of the carbon dioxide gas shortage which has resulted from those high gas prices and the two plants that produce 60% of the uk�*s carbon dioxide supplies, shutting down their plants because of the high cost of gas. the discussions they are have been ongoing, the business secretary said it twice in the last two days, he had spoken to the chief executive of cf fertilisers, that is that company that has shut those plants and what they are looking at their is any means possible to try to get that production up and running again. the implication that could be some financial support to that firm, i guess. that is one thing and he said that something could be announced even today on that. separately then is the issue about the energy supply, energy companies, those companies that have already gone bust, others that could potentially do so, what to do about the customers of those firms. transferring them to other suppliers would be the usual practice. the problem there is that the cost of gas at the minute means that taking on those customers would potentially be loss—making for any firms that did so, so the government has looking at loans possibly to help companies that took on those customers. we may hearfrom companies that took on those customers. we may hear from the business secretary, he is due to be taking questions in the comments at the question session. we don�*t believe he has got anything particularly new to announce at this point but all those discussions happening behind the scenes. behind that strategy. — happening behind the scenes. behind that strategy, there _ happening behind the scenes. behind

., , any support for companies that may to under? , .,, , any support for companies that may to under? , ., , . ., any support for companies that may to under? , .,, , . ., ., go under? yes. he was

be using taxpayers money to bail out failing firms. i think the view there is that those companies that have gone under, the ones that did not plan ahead and hedge their gas prices, take out sort of contracts ahead of time for supply, to make sure that they could smooth over those possible changes in price that might come and which have no happened. so what he has indicated as the government does not want to be giving money to those firms, instead give the money to the bigger companies that would take on the customers. companies that would take on the customers-— companies that would take on

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 neverthere 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. i and so the consequence of having to wait this long is that it's done i an awful lot of psychiatric damage to her, really. i 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 i 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. and if you�*ve been affected by the issues we�*ve been talking about, go to

will form the next government in canada after the country�*s second general election in two years. conservative opposition leader, erin o�*toole, has already conceded defeat. but in a blow to prime minister trudeau it�*s expected to be a minority administration. the poll was called in the hope that trudeau�*s liberal party could win enough seats to govern alone — unshackled by the constraints of coalition government. samira hussein reports. in his third consecutive election win, justin trudeau greets his supporters as the prime minister of canada. but this win was far from guaranteed and at times his future as leader looked uncertain. i hear you when you say you just want to get back to the things you love, not to worry about this pandemic or about an election, that you just want to know that your members of parliament of all stripes will have your back through this crisis and beyond. this is a victory for justin trudeau, who managed to hold onto his position as prime minister. but he was unable to deliver on the parliamentary majority that he desperately wanted and it will inevitably lead to many canadians to wonder why they went to the polls in the first place. it is a beautiful day to vote, i encourage everyone to get out. justin trudeau, the man born with a silver spoon in his mouth, wanted to be seen as a man of the people, standing in line to vote like everyone else. he cast his ballot in an election he called, which many canadians did not want. opposition leader erin o�*toole tried to use that to his advantage, openly criticising this mr trudeau�*s decision to try canadians to the polls. he ran a centrist campaign, helping to turn disaffected liberal voters into conservative ones. five weeks ago mr trudeau was after a majority, saying the minority parliament was, quote, unworkable. tonight canadians did not give him the majority mandate he wanted. in fact, canadians sent him back with another minority at the cost of $600 million and deeper divisions in our great country. it may be a new day in canada, but people here have barely taken notice. it is the same old leadership. six weeks of campaigning and very little has actually changed. samira hussain, bbc news, montreal. 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, i 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 i 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. in just six weeks�* time — the uk will host a major climate conference known as cop26. in the run up to that conference, we�*re hearing about what people are doing to try and tackle climate change. the "compost king" of britain believes a circular economy can help tackle biodiversity loss and climate change. he also says humans should be composted after death. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has been to meet him. excuse me, would you like some free potatoes? meet britain�*s king of compost. john cossham has been crazy keen on a rotting down organic waste for decades. he collects waste fruit and veg from local shops and restaurants and — yup, bins, too — and brings it back to his suburban garden. i first metjohn 15 years ago. and, if anything, he�*s now even more into composting. so, listen — how many compost heaps have you got now? oh, i don�*t know. maybe about 40. do you want to come and have a look? let�*s go and have a look. and it�*s easy to get started. it�*s quite a good idea to chop stuff up. all this will be eaten by bacteria and fungi — and it�*s notjust carbon, is it got nitrogen and phosphorus and some micronutrients in it. this is what nature does. and what is it about compost that you enjoy so much? i think one of the best things is it�*s a way to connect you with nature. it�*s something that anybody can do who�*s got a garden. and it makes you connected with the cycle of food going to waste and putting it in the soil and then growing more food. environmentalists and some economists say composting shows us how the whole economy needs to change. hi, come in. kate raworth is an oxford economist famous for her theory of doughnut economics. it�*s all happening now. it's ok. i bet people always bring you these. i�*ve got some doughnuts. i can only find these mini ones. but what does a doughnut tell us about the limits of modern capitalism? so we�*ve inherited the idea that the shape of economic progress is endless growth, a nation getting richer and richer, no matter how rich it already is. and that is pushing us to the limits of the planetary home that we have. we need to reimagine the shape of progress. and so — let me have a little one. i hope it�*s going to be bigger than this in reality. it�*s more like a doughnut, silly, though, it sounds. so imagine humanity�*s use of earth�*s resources radiating out from the centre of that doughnut. the goal is to leave no one in the hole. that�*s where people are falling short on the essentials of life. but as we use earth�*s resources, we mustn�*t overshoot this outer limit, because that is where we put so much pressure on our planetary home. we cause climate breakdown. we acidify the oceans. we break down the web of life. so we must meet the needs of all people within the means of the living planet. that�*s the 21st—century project. so within the boundaries of the doughnut, so to speak. so what does that mean about use of materials? so it means...a—ha! let me see. here�*s some hosepipe. so we�*ve inherited a linear industrial system where we take those materials, put them in the pipe of production, make them into stuff. we will use it often only once and throw it away. and that take—make—use—lose has been pushing us over the limits of our planet and running down the life support systems we depend upon. we�*ve got to bend that linear process into a circular or cyclical one, so that resources are used again and again, far more carefully, more collectively, creatively and slowly. no surprise then, that kate is a keen composter. like most of us, she uses the local—authority composting scheme. about half of all local authorities now offer food waste collection. your waste is brought to centres like this. plastic is taken out and it goes through a giant magimixer. then it�*s rotted down in these huge vats. the methane is pumped off and used to generate electricity. and what�*s left — look at that — is a lovely, rich liquid fertilizer that can be put back on the fields. back in york, john has been saying for years we need to do more than just compost our food and garden waste. you bury something. it sits in a hole where there's no oxygen. it's an anaerobic process. it gives off pollutants like methane. have you guessed what he�*s talking about yet? i think we can compost human beings. i mean, what happens in nature when something dies, it gets incorporated into the soil very, very quickly. because i don't see humans as separate from nature. we are part of the cycle. 15 years ago, he pretended to compost me. the real process would be a bit more complicated than this. but for you, this is the ultimate recycling. i want to be composted when i die. now, a compost funeral might not be for everyone, but the message is clear. if we�*re going to achieve the circular economy kate talked about, it means reusing and recycling virtually everything. break about

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 nicholas witchell, bbc news. last week you might have seen the pop star tom parker talking really frankly about living with brain cancer. tom was also looking forward to his old band, the wanted, getting together for their first public performance in seven years. that gig took place last night — and tim muffett was there to see it. cheering. for many, the most "wanted" tickets in town. really excited to be here, yeah! we�*ve been there from day dot. we've been here from the start, yeah. we�*ve been there from the start. we've been all over the country watching the wanted — - we were actually lucky enough to meet them, win one - of their competitions and go up to manchester and play- laser quest with them. you played laser quest with the wanted? yeah, with the wanted. # and if you know, how do you get up... one of the uk�*s biggest boy bands, back together after seven years for a very special cause. band member tom parker was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year. he recently announced that he�*s decided to stop his gruelling chemotherapy. i think it�*s going to be more emotional than we all think, and i think that�*s going to really hit home. this event isn�*tjust about the wanted reforming, it�*s a way of raising money for causes close to tom parker�*s heart — stand up to cancer and the national brain appeal. it's quite close to my heart, tonight, because my sister—in—law passed away from cancer. that's another reason why we love i that the wanted done this, as well. obviously, what tom parker's gone through, it's the exact same - as what emily went i through — like, they had the same brain tumour. and amongst the artists appearing as well as the wanted, a member of a former rival boy band. how important was it for you to come along today? huge — i mean, when i heard this story it really hit home because of how young we all are, and obviously we�*ve known each other for a very long time so i wanted to do everything i could to be here tonight. it�*s, yeah, it�*s proper... this one proper cuts you deep, to be honest with you. backstage at the royal albert hall, about to go on stage, and you�*re back together. how are you feeling? very excited. it feels pretty surreal. what have the rehearsals been like? the words, the dance moves — how has that been, getting back together again after seven years? well, when you've got a brain tumour it's very difficult to try and rememberanything... oh, my god! laughter. so, yeah, that's been... for me...that's been real, real, really quite tough. just trying to remember the lyrics. it�*s hard enough, anyway. it's hard enough not doing it for seven years — - never mind, like, you know, you with all that going on. . to be honest, you always forgot... idid. and, to be fair, the dance moves have never really been there, i so we just kind of make it up as we go along. i please, go wild, for the wanted! cheering. music: all time low. # ..only thing i�*ll never know. # how do you get up from an all—time low? # i can�*t even find a place to start. # how do i choose between my head and heart? music: gold forever. # say my name like it�*s the last... # time. # live today like it�*s the last night. cheering. congratulations, congratulations. what an amazing performance. how was it to be back on stage together? absolutely incredible — the atmosphere was electric, wasn't it? it was mental. honestly, i don't think we've experienced anything like it, to be honest. i it was amazing — it's made my little| 14—year—old heart happy again, so... emotional! unreal, emotional! incredible. literally incredible. incredible. it feels more special, the fact that we were all together doing it, you know? and they're there — the boys are there to support me, and that's beautiful for me. it must have been really emotional. it was. there was a moment where i almost lost it, to be honest with you! and then i managed to pull it back. so amazing. it was the best thing ever. it was lovely to see tom, of all people, back on stage, doing what he does best. it was amazing. being in a band, a kind of a brotherhood, it�*s probably never felt more important to you. honestly. yeah, the boys have been like brothers, they really have. they've been there at low moments, they've been there at high moments, but that's what they're brothers for. boy band veterans. but a performance unlike any they�*ve given before. tim muffett, bbc news, at the royal albert hall. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello, again. temperatures at the moment are just a little bit above average for the time of the year, so if you are in the sunshine, it will feel quite pleasant for the next couple of days. it is also going to be dry for most. however, having said that, it is going to turn windier and cooler in the north from later today. you can see the isobars indicating the strength of the wind. this weak weather front producing some rain or drizzle, but there is another one waiting in the wings which overnight will produce some heavier rain. so a lot of dry weather today. variable amounts of cloud, some sunshine, but out towards the north and the west we do have that weak weather front which is bringing in more cloud and also some patchy rain or some drizzle. with exposure, especially in the north and west, some of the gusts of wind could catch gale force and that will continue overnight, as well. overnight, you can see how our weather front sinks south. not much more than a band of cloud, by then. ahead of it, under clear skies, it will be chilly and we will see a return to mist and fog forming. here is our second weather front coming in, bringing in some heavier and more persistent rain. so it is courtesy of this weatherfront, isobars are still close together, high pressure still dominating the weather in the south, so things are still fairly settled. any mist and fog will lift quite readily and then there will be a fair bit of sunshine with our weak weather front sinking south and continuing to break up. tomorrow is going to be blustery across scotland and also to the east of the pennines, but not quite as windy as today. behind this weather front bringing rain, we will see a return to blustery showers with some sunny spells in between. as we move from wednesday into thursday, our weather front pushes further south as more or less a bands of cloud and we will also have another front in the north of the country introducing some rain, but it will be not be quite as windy on thursday as earlier on in the week. there will be a lot of dry weather around, some sunshine. a week weather front pushing down into the english channel, but at the same time we will see more rain arriving across western scotland. cooler in the north, that bit warmer in the south. into the weekend, we�*ve got weather fronts dotted around. one coming up from the south. note the isobars as we go through the course of the weekend, so it will be breezy at times, but in summary, for many of us it will be dry. one or two showers around on saturday. on sunday we might see more rain coming in later from the west. this is bbc news. the headlines... a third man has been accused of involvement in the poisonings in salisbury and amesbury three years ago, following a metropolitan police investigation. in the 2018 attack, three people were left critically ill from the novichok nerve agent and a woman, dawn sturgess, died four months later, after being poisoned. it comes as the european court of human rights rules that russia was responsible for the 2006 killing of the former spy alexander litvinenko in london. the kremlin says the decision is �*baseless�*. the uk 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. mr kwarteng added the government could subsidise the country�*s biggest carbon dioxide producer to bolster supplies, but ruled out nationalising the company. in the past

nationalising the company. with my next guests, let�*s remind you of the events in 2018. on 4th march 2018, emergency services received a phone call from members of the public in salisbury who had seen an old man and a young woman ill on a bench. they were identified as sergei and yulia skripal. that 999 call would set in motion a chain of events leading to a major diplomatic crisis with russia. on the 7th march, the police confirmed they were poisoned by a nerve agent. over the coming days, a police officer would fall seriously ill and several locations across salisbury would be identified as possible sources of the nerve agent. the prime minister at the time, theresa may, said the substance used in the poisoning was the nerve agent novichok, saying it was "highly likely" russia was behind the attack. in september, scotland yard said they had enough evidence to charge russians alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov. russia denied any role, even putting the two accused men on tv to say they had visited salisbury simply to see the cathedral spire. sergei and yulia survived the attack, but a british woman, dawn sturgess, would die after coming into contact with novichok in amesbury injune. her partner, charlie rowley, also fell seriously ill but survived. she had picked up a perfume bottle containing novichock. let�*s speak now to our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. looking back, we see how it unfolded, but at the time it was such a mystery. there has been so much painstaking police work from the beginning, culminating now on these developments about the third subs backed. tell us what it means now that this third pair sing could potentially face charges. it now that this third pair sing could potentially face charges.-

they are still looking at other possible suspects, but the decision to charge this third man who has been officially named as denis sergeev, relates to his movements over the two days before their novichock was smeared on the door handle of the house. he flew into london, heathrow airport at 11 o�*clock in the morning on into london, heathrow airport at 11 london in 2006, the european court of

that found that two men were responsible and they were directed by the russian state, this is now a court thatis russian state, this is now a court that is not a british court. it is the european court of human rights and the part of the european council. it has accepted the british inquiry explanation and has given an opportunity to challenge that that this was some sort of rogue operation, but the court has said that had it been involved in a rug operation their responsibility to prove that would be in the russian government hands. the russian state made no attempt to counter the findings. so it has found that it was an authorised operation and an assassination. let�*s speak now to philip ingram, former senior intelligence officer and chemical weapons expert. thank you

itself to the information commissioner after an email was mistakenly sent which revealed information about dozens of afghan interpreters seeking relocation to the uk. 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. there will be an urgent question at 12.30 on this. 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

wholesale gas prices. alongside concerns about rising energy bills, there have also been warnings that a shortage of carbon dioxide could lead to gaps on supermarket shelves. the uk�*s main co2 supplier, cf industries, stopped production due to the spike in prices. the gas is used throughout the food industry, from stunning animals for slaughter to packaging products and in refridgerated transport. the uk government and energy regulator ofgem have said that limits on energy bills will stay. the energy price cap protects customers from sudden hikes in wholesale gas prices. however, it means firms are unable to pass on high wholesale costs, which is forcing some to go out of business. this morning the business secretary said "not every company" could expect a government bailout, but support could be available for larger firms. kwasi kwarteng added that he hoped to have a "very clear plan" to get co2 production back up and running this week. opposition politicians have expressed concern, with labour describing the problems as a crisis that "should have been foreseen". 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 co2 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 co2. 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 suppliers 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. this morning, the business secretary kwasi kwarteng, said that the government aren�*t looking to bail out energy suppliers which have to cease trading, but he was considering loans for the firms that take on their customers. 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. joining me now is the leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey. welcome, thank you forjoining us. what do you think about the strategy? no bailouts for some energy companies that will go under, but loans for some companies that take on the customers. is that the right approach? it take on the customers. is that the right approach?— take on the customers. is that the right approach? it may well prove to be the right — right approach? it may well prove to be the right approach, _ right approach? it may well prove to be the right

crisis right now. food prices have been going up, and now heating bills are going to go up. that is going to affect millions of people across the country, and what i want to see from the government is action on that. what are they doing to help people on low incomes, low paid people. they are proposing to go ahead with a £1000 cut in universal credit which will hit the people on the lowest incomes at a time when we have got a cost of living crisis. it does not make sense, it is wrong and unfair and the government have got to do more for people who will struggle with those bills. what struggle

many other millions of people who. .. there are many other millions of people who... for whom that is critical to their incomes and the ability to pay their bills. while the government is pressing ahead with this huge cut of £1000 per year for people on low incomes at this time of rising heating bills, it just seems wrong. they have got their priorities wrong.— their priorities wrong. sorry to

government. it is up to mps and particularly conservative mps to look at themselves in the mirror. they really going to allow the most vulnerable in our society, our £1000 cut in their income with all these bills going up? if conservative mps really keep supporting boris johnson�*s government on this will rue the day. it is extremely unfair. i have not mentioned the rise in national insurance. it

i will have a full update for you after the one o'clock news. see you then. 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. our 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. with me now is sir kim darroch, former uk ambassador to the us between 2016 and 2019. welcome, thank you very much for joining us. everyone is watching. what shall we be looking for? i what shall we be looking for? i think you will see meeting on the surface that looks very friendly and full of bonhomie and mutual backslapping. i think the main outcome is likely to be a commitment from president biden to ensure the success of cop26 in november two enlarges contribution to the development funds. john kerry who is the us climate change convoy that has already sick —— envoy has already signalled that this is on the way. he has yet to announce how much it is. whether it is that this meeting or when he speaks at the un i'm not sure. i expect that will be the headline. in i'm not sure. i expect that will be the headline.— the headline. in terms of what actually goes _ the headline. in terms of what actually goes really _ the headline. in terms of what actually goes really with - the headline. in terms of what actually goes really with the i actually goes really with the relationship. you talked about the surface bonhomie, but when we look at examples of that relationship in practice, what happened with afghanistan, we have heard boris johnson described the american negotiators is ruthless when it comes to the trade deal, is it still very much in first administration? i don't think it really is. i think that we will see over the next years of their biden administration, but i think afghanistan was a one—off weather government was determined to take the chips out of afghanistan. i think that was a mistake but he was determined to do it. you have to remember that neither uk nor france nor germany actually tried very hard to dissuade him from that, nor did they rejected the deal that donald trump did with the taliban last year. so they will talk about the future. they will talk about how to ensure that afghanistan does not again, haven for terrorists. ensure that afghanistan does not again, haven forterrorists. i ensure that afghanistan does not again, haven for terrorists. i think they will talk about how to bring pressure and exert leverage on the taliban regime over its human rights, over letting girls go back to school and about preserving some of the gains that they made over two decades when the west had that ulster. �* g ., ,., decades when the west had that ulster. �* , ., ., ulster. but johnson said before that he does not — ulster. but johnson said before that he does not like _ ulster. but johnson said before that he does not like the _ ulster. but johnson said before that he does not like the term _ ulster. but johnson said before that he does not like the term special. he does not like the term special relationship. he has come up with a few alternatives, and i think the latest is genuinely terrific. does it matter? what does it mean in your experience about what the dynamic is between the president and the prime minister? aha, between the president and the prime minister? �* , , , minister? a few points. first, it is uniuue in minister? a few points. first, it is unique in some — minister? a few points. first, it is unique in some respects. - minister? a few points. first, it is| unique in some respects. notably, the defence security and intelligence relationship which is closer and more integrated than any other two major countries in the world. in that sense, it is special. but the second point, we are very much thejunior partner but the second point, we are very much the junior partner there. as long as bringing things to the table and delivering and supporting america and its strategic objectives around the world, then we get access and we get insights that might be denied to others. so the third point, how is it going to develop betweenjohnson and biden? i doubt they are going to be great ideological allies like the relationship between blair and clinton but i think they will have a perfectly personable relationship and how special it is in terms of country n country will depend on what we bring to the table, how our economy develops post—brexit, how much of the reality will make of the britain in the deal with australia and a demonstration that we are going to invest in the pacific region. but what counts will be what we deliver over the next three years. we deliver over the next three ears. . ~' we deliver over the next three ears. ., ~ , ., now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. dry weather in the weather forecast for the next few days. northern ireland and western scotland say thickening cloud and rain. those are the average wind speeds, we could see gusts touching 50 mph, eastern scotland sing awards, 21. through this evening and tonight, cloud filters and from scotland, north—west england and rain to the far north—west. further south, clear spells the odd first batch and a chilly start to wednesday morning. more cloud then we have today, this band of rain sinking in scotland. starting to turn quite a lot cooler in the far north. we will see cooler weather in the north, warming up for all those by the end of the week. hello, this is bbc news with joanna gosling. the headlines: a third man has been accused of involvement in the poisonings in salisbury and amesbury three years ago, following a metropolitan police investigation in the 2018 attack, three people were left critically ill from the novichok nerve agent and a woman, dawn sturgess, died four months later after being poisoned. it comes as the european court of human rights rules that russia was responsible for the 2006 killing of the former spy alexander litvinenko in london. the kremlin says the decision is �*baseless'. the uk 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. mr kwarteng added the government could subsidise the country's biggest carbon dioxide producer to bolster supplies — but ruled out nationalising the company, borisjohnson and president biden are set to meet at the white house later to discuss coronavirus, climate change and trade. lava is continuing to flow on the spanish island of la palma after a volcano erupted on sunday. the molten rock has already destroyed at least a hundred homes — and local officials say it could trigger explosions and toxic gasses when it reaches the sea. our correspondent danjohnson sent this report from la palma. homes that once enjoyed views of this island's impressive volcanic landscape are now being smothered under it. the relentless downhill creep of molten lava burns its way through anything it touches. the eruption follows a week of tremors, but nobody has seen anything like this on la palma for half a century. "look, look, it's falling," the man says. let's cross to the house of commons — where the shadow defence secretary is asking the government an urgent question on the afghanistan interpretators data breach. i'd like to place on record i had a statement form when we return, saying the investigation i had ordered will report fully and we expect to make those details available. as you know, i have taken the obligation to the afghan personnel who supported us extremely seriously, and we should pay tribute to the armed forces that we evacuated 8800 people and families eligible in the scheme since april in addition to the 1li00 who have been reallocated, relocated prior to that date. however wearing for me, lapses from the management of these people remaining in afghanistan have been brought to my attention by those honourable members of this house and others. it is for that reason ministers raise concerns last week and yesterday and sought assurances these problems would be rectified. these are were given, but it was brought to my attention 2000 hrs last night, there was a data breach. i was angered by this and i immediately directed an investigation to take place. then e—mail was sent at 171m hrs as part of a weekly contact. this was copied to all applicants rather than plain copying them. the e—mail was recalled and a subsequent e—mail was sent to change their addresses, many of whom have done. so far one individual has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation and processes of data handling have been changed. steps have been taken to... the information commissioner has been notified and cooperate fully with any of their own inquiries. i apologise to those afghans affected by the data breach and we are working with them to provide security advice. as i speak the minister of armed forces speaking to neighbouring countries to see what we can do with applicants, it is an unacceptable level of service that has let down veterans and members of the armed forces and i apologise. i don't like thank you, mr speaker. there is concern about this grave security breach, names, e—mail addresses and in some cases photographs of 250 afghan applicants all still in afghanistan in danger, shared in a mass mailing. this needlessly _ shared in a mass mailing. this needlessly put _ shared in a mass mailing. this needlessly put their _ shared in a mass mailing. ti 3 needlessly put their lives at risk. i welcome the defence secretary being here this morning, i welcome his apology, his enquiry and his commitment to a statement when this house returns after a short recess. it is not the apology that the action which matters most. these afghan interpreters worked alongside british forces and the government rightly pledged to protect them. ministers must make good on those promises now. so can the defence secretary answer, when will he complete that assessment of the increased risk these individuals now face as a result of the data breach? what action is he taking urgently to evacuate them and their families and why on earth was the mod mass e—mailing people who face life or death situations? i know from evacuees in my own constituency that have separated family members still in hiding in afghanistan that they have had their social media block. is there any evidence of e—mail surveillance or interference from the taliban? and how well the mod remain in contact with this people if they follow the advice to change their e—mail addresses? yesterday ministers confirmed that 7900 applications have been made to the scheme is 900 so far approved since the end of august. have there been any data breaches linked to other applicants? mr speaker, this finally is the third serious known defence data breach in as many months. each time, the same. public apology, internal enquiry and then silence. no report on the enquiry results are no action. the secretary of state rightly started by paying tribute to all those involved in operation pitting. 0urforces were pitting. 0ur forces were professional pitting. 0urforces were professional in that extraordinary evacuation from kabul but they must be asking now how can we trust our back—up? the be asking now how can we trust our back-u -

gentleman makes his points. first of all, we mass e—mail individuals but we have a weekly catch up e—mail which was sent to 250 to make sure they were kept up—to—date. as was pointed out here,... it didn't contain a lot like the photo profiles you mentioned which were profiles you mentioned which were profiles of an address as to... i'v e i've asked defence intelligence to risk all the cases. i will get an update, i have asked intelligence to assess the risk to them. that will be ongoing. while of course i can get an update and i will be happy to share where we are with those dates and intelligence and will provide everything to yourself and the scottish national party, i can give them a greater rethink on the security situation on the ground in afghanistan to do that. we have this group was not the wider cohort that he refers to, that people have supplied since. to put it into perspective, there are 60 8000 people have applied. that obviously, when it is work reregister significantly, but that is number of e—mails that have been sitting in e—mails that have been sitting in e—mail boxes that is being worked through to try and make sure we find the right people with the right criteria. obviously communicate with them. this was only in reference to them. this was only in reference to the number of people who have been called forward under the scheme, security checked and ready to go but never made it onto the flight. that number started at 311 as you remember, of the 311, there is 1232 people. 42 principles in third countries and eight to which we have still not been able to establish communications despite numerous times of trying. that is the cohort that this relates to. we will do everything we can. as far as getting this people out of the country, we are no in one of the neighbouring countries. i have spoken to my defence sections, offered to increase resource and offer to provide actions to those countries. we will fly those people back to the united kingdom, we have already done so and i will update those as we go on as to how many people come out of that country. some of the other challenges relate to security and we should have that balance between bringing people back to sometimes have the wrong record and you want to protect the british public from doing that. fundamentally that is the cohort of people that these e—mails relate to. i the cohort of people that these e-mails relate to.— the cohort of people that these e-mails relate to. i hope the... the taliban haven't _ e-mails relate to. i hope the... the taliban haven't changed, _ e-mails relate to. i hope the... the taliban haven't changed, they - e-mails relate to. i hope the... the taliban haven't changed, they seek| taliban haven't changed, they seek to exact revenge on anybody that worked for nato. we must get these interpreters out or they will be hunted and killed. if the usual methods are not available, can i invite him to take advantage of the chaos in the country to find clandestine means of leading his people to safety. ma; clandestine means of leading his peeple to safety-— people to safety. my right honourable _ people to safety. my right honourable friend - people to safety. my right honourable friend will- people to safety. my rightl honourable friend will know people to safety. my right - honourable friend will know that i cannot speak about the broader means that all means will be explored. can i thank the secretary for his apology. i don't doubt the sincerity of their only anger he would have felt when he got the news of this unacceptable and dangerous leak yesterday. i have a few questions to follow on from the shadow secretary in the select committee, can you confirm if the taliban has the capability to monitor these people's e—mails? i don't want to know if they are monitoring, i suspect he would not tell the house every good so. how will the —— long will the investigation take? who will undertake the investigation, and the person suspended, are the remember of his department. can he outline the additional resources that he intends to commit to ensure that people are not exposed any more danger than they already are as a result of this? and in terms of using mass e—mail as a communications method, i understand the point he makes, who signed all of that is an ok way to make that communication. can i ask him more broadly, the shadow secretary is right that we get these apologies when these breaches happen and then there is silence. more broadly what is being done to address this worrying trend of data leaks from his department? will he order a broader investigation because i think the house would welcome it. i am grateful to the honourable member for his series of questions. first of all an investigation will be carried out, the chief ofjoint operations who also led the planning and evacuation from kabul. all the data leaks, he is right, these are concerns. the previously info involved a senior official who broke the regulations. he took out of the department something,. i have however and i can't say too much, instigated changes to improve information security within the department and i am happy to brief them on that. the matter of security, modern rules that govern information security i believe are fit for purpose, it is about the training and following and adherence of it that must be improved. i am a graduate of the classified documents and link course. i know what kind of lock should be on what kind of cabinet. nevertheless, information security is not something western governments are good at which is why we need to improve and we need to stand by it. on the taliban, the taliban or any government controls the country has control of the telephone network. i cannot say too much about what they can and cannot do but suffice to say the method we used to communicate with those people is a way of minimising the risk. one of the reasons we involve e—mails instead of telephone is to try and do that and i think that there is an absolutely important thing. on resources at the beginning of this process back in august or july, i was clear with my senior military commanders and staff, they have the resources to do that. it is my view that we should continue to stand by them, including using military establishments to look after those people if they cannot get places elsewhere. there has not been a resource problem, the challenge is whether people have been asking for real resources within the system. i have very keen that it within the system. i have very keen thatitis within the system. i have very keen that it is notjust the four person who drafts the e—mail that is held to account, it is the chain upwards to account, it is the chain upwards to make sure that this does not happen again. i to make sure that this does not happen again-— to make sure that this does not happen again. to make sure that this does not hauenauain. . ., ., happen again. i am delighted to hear from my right _ happen again. i am delighted to hear from my right honourable _ happen again. i am delighted to hear from my right honourable friend - happen again. i am delighted to hear| from my right honourable friend that admiral keynes got a knighthood right now. it hasn't been earned by anyone better for many years. the challenge of this event is not the accident and the mistake that we can see happened and i think we all sympathise with the ministry of defence and the secretary of state that accidents do happen. the challenge is that there are people still there and that the coordination of getting people out is complicated. will he commit to working to get a single point of contact for all those in afghanistan who are seeking to leave, because the system where some have to apply to the mod and others to the foreign office and others through the home office and others through the home office is excessively complicated and leading obstacles. i can speak for occasions where people are stuck in trying to get out but not getting that smooth transfer that we need. i am grateful to my honourable friend. he makes an important point and i would ask colleagues to have some understanding of this. the mod which is of course charged with defending a nation has in very short order had to turn part of itself into processing visas and doing the job that traditionally would have done in the home office. we have taken on that result because a base and because of the urgency and because of danger and 68,000 e—mails arrived, many of which are speculative of refugee status, not only in the foreign office. so it is a very big enterprise to take on. it is why i was determined to give all that resource but i would ask colleagues that at the same time we are doing that in an afghanistan that we have no control over, we are doing that in a dangerous environment for many of them with a taliban in some cases clearly actively seeking out people who see wishes to deal with, murder or whatever. they are up to. and at the same time we are dealing with an ever moving situation on the ground and not everyone who comes out communicates back. when i look at the spread of where people have gone to third countries, we find people in australia, people who have gone on the next lie, we find people in other parts of europe and people in the united states. the united states brought people back to germany and sought asylum in the united kingdom. some are saying i am happy to stay where i am in sunny california or australia or people who have been here for a long period of time are not engaged. the next stage is in commission today, quite rightly, phil and detailed survey of the people we have brought back to know even more about them. obviously we have data protection issues we have to cross. but i think that is how we will get to the bottom of it. of the 260, there were eight that we did not have qualms with since the end of fitting and we have gathered to try. the date to reach out and about 530 yesterday afternoon and we have been engaged with as many of them as possible. obviously with the time. i can give the house a rolling update of how many people have responded. to that 260 we have been in touch with. a number of people have changed their e—mail address. but i will keep the house updated on exactly the number as we go. the other thing about this, numbers are changing every day either because people crop up at work and they are in london already or australia or because what is happening on the ground and they make it across the border. many times when there are in transit, they are not in communication.- transit, they are not in communication. j~ :: , , communication. 2850 interpreters were employed — communication. 2850 interpreters were employed from _ communication. 2850 interpreters were employed from 2000 -
