turkey and bangladesh — are taken off england's travel red list, meaning people will no longer have to quarantine in a hotel. boris johnson's hopes for securing a comprehensive free trade deal with the us appear to be fading, after president biden downplayed the issue following their face—to—face meeting at the white house. mr biden told reporters they'd discuss trade �*a little bit' but he stressed instead the issue of peace in northern ireland he said he wouldn't want to see a change in the irish accords which might result in the closed border again. so what about the uk's trade deal hopes? one option thought to be under consideration — joining a north american trade pact. and that is the usmca deal, which involves the us, mexico and canada. our political editor laura kuenssberg

relationship between the new neighbours at the white house and the uk is making great strides forward. finally, after two years, borisjohnson has had his moment in the white house as the uk prime minister unless washington evening, the atmosphere inside the oval office was warm. the two men agree on many things, particularly their commitment to tackling climate change but there is a sense that this is a relationship in its early days, not yet an established friendship. the prime minister still has one day on the side of the atlantic, the situation he will face at home could give him more cause for concern. 0ur political correspondent is adam fleming. what does it say about any special relationship about the uk and the us if we cannot get the trade deal we are after? ., ., , , , , are

you cannot _ are after? the relationship is still spatial, but you cannot escape i are after? the relationship is still. spatial, but you cannot escape what the us national interests are and in this case there are two big national interest, what is their priority for their economy and their trade and their economy and their trade and the uk is fairly low down on the list, so they are acting in a rational way in terms of how much attention to devote to a trade deal with the uk. and the other national interest and stability on the island of ireland. i do not think the us wants to progress the trade track until they are totally convinced that some of the tension around northern ireland as a result of brexit is dissipated. that is what is driving the behaviour of the us rather than how special the relationship is with the uk. it brings us to a point where there are multiple positions on the potential trade deal between the us and america, joe biden is continuing to be lukewarm, some people in the prime minister's entourage in the united states talking about an idea ofjoining the usmca, which would surprise some people because it does not have a clause in it for a fourth country to join it. not have a clause in it for a fourth country tojoin it. and then not have a clause in it for a fourth country to join it. and then you have the official government position in the uk, they are still pursuing a stand trade deal with the united states. the agriculture secretary has been giving interviews this morning and his message is to come down, everything is fine. i don't think so in that we are also joining the transpacific trade partnership in the pacific area, it is something that we are in discussions aboutjoining. as i said, we've got bilateral agreements with some 60 countries. it's a choice of the united states that for the biden administration, trade deals just aren't a priority at the moment. and the important thing with any trade agreement actually is to get the detail of it right, not necessarily to put any timescale on it or be any particular rush. we still want to do a trade agreement with the united states, would still like to progress those discussions, but, obviously, if it's not a priority for the biden administration at the moment, well, then, that is the position that we understand. soa us uk so a us uk trade deal of whatever flavour was a bit of a way of and it is still a bit of a way of so it will be disappointing to people who voted for brexit thinking a big benefit would be a quick deal with the united states. the government is to meet the operating costs of a leading carbon dioxide manufacturer for a limited period, to help avoid a shortage of food, drinks and medicines. the deal will see production resume at a fertiliser plant in county durham, which was forced to close following a steep rise in gas prices. the bbc understands the agreement could cost taxpayers tens of millions of pounds. the environment secretary george eustice laid out the government's intervention plans and the reasoning behind them. essentially what we are doing is underwriting some of the operating costs for the very time limited period, just the next three weeks, maximum three weeks to restart production to ensure there isn't a gap in the supply of carbon dioxide which is critical to the supply, particularly poultry and the pig sector and other parts of the food supply chain as well. so this is our... it has been an exceptional series of events, lots of turbulence in global supply chains generally. a spike in gas prices and that made production of fertiliser at this plant uneconomic and that's why they suspended it. and coupled with that, some of the other producers of carbon dioxide have their plants closed for maintenance at the moment, so it's been something of a perfect storm, a set of exceptional events and that is why the short term limited intervention isjustified in this instance. nick allen is chief executive of the british meat processors association. thank you forjoining us this morning. how crucial was this government payout your industry? absolutely crucial that there was government intervention here. i don't know the details of if there is a payout or not but the intervention is essential. some of our members who were going to run out of c02 on friday, so we were right at the cliff face so it was really important that the government stepped in and intervened and we have three weeks, a lot of work to do, this is possibly going to mean a complete restructuring of c02 pricing throughout the country and possibly internationally. and that is what is happening in the gas market as well. we have a three—week window, quite a bit of work to do, it is a complex supply chain to

through not just the food chain but other industries as well. how thatis but other industries as well. how that is going to be worked out and pan out at this moment in time, i couldn't tell. i know it's very important that at in three weeks and we are not back at the cliff edge. we have seen the cost of c02 go up, will it be passed on to customers? people will be wondering how much the price of meat will go up. it will vary according to the commodity, it not only meat, the cost of c02 in the meat industry has not necessarily been the biggest problem here. we need it. there are other sectors

targeted the m25 with protests and police warned that their tactics may cause serious injury or death. it was insulate britain, the group that was insulate britain, the group that was holding the protest as a result of what they say is a need to call on the government for action on home insulation. they had been carrying out protest on the m25 but we had just heard that the national highways has been granted an injunction against the protesters which means they could face possible imprisonment. that is from the transport secretary. a man has been charged with four counts of murder after a mother and three children were found dead in derbyshire on sunday. 31—year—old damien bendall is accused of killing terri harris, her children john paul and lacey, and theirfriend connie gent, in killamarsh near sheffield. he'll appear at southern derbyshire magistrates�* court later. detectives investigating the murder of lyra mckee in londonderry in 2019 have arrested two men. they are 2a and 29 and were detained in derry. they have been taken to belfast to be questioned under the terrorism act. lyra mckee was a 29—year old journalist who was observing a riot in the creggan area when she was shot dead. three men have already been charged with the murder. years of repeated human errors and outdated technology led to an estimated i—billion pounds�* worth of state pensions being underpaid to more than 100—thousand people. according to a report by the national audit office, 134,000 pensioners, mainly women were underpaid pensions because outdated computer systems in the 1980s led to mistakes in total the department for work and pensions is expecting to pay the affected pensioners a total ofjust over £ibn that's an average of £8,900 for each person affected. here's our business reporter, sarah corker. for nearly a decade, irene from worcestershire was underpaid her state pension. she is one of thousands of women in their 70s and 80s that missed out on large sums of money because of government errors. i think it's scandalous. i think that the fact that you have to battle for something that's rightfully yours is awful, because i was lucky, i have got richard to help me. but anybody who is a widow, perhaps not financially up with it, and they're perhaps struggling on the breadline, it could make a tremendous difference. irene has now been paid the £7,000 she was owed, but it was a battle and she's far from alone. these errors relate to married women who had small state pensions. they were eligible to claim 60% of their husbands contributions. but complex rules and errors by the dwp meant that for decades, they were underpaid. the errors date back to 1985, affecting an estimated 134,000 pensioners, including some married women, widows and the over 80s. they are collectively owed more than £1 billion. the national audit office found there were repeated human errors over many years at the department for work and pensions, blamed on complex pension rules and unautomated, outdated it systems. most of the people affected are going to be women, not all, but most — 90% of those that take this type of state pension uplifts are women. and unfortunately, i'm afraid, many of them will have died before they received the money that they are owed. so actually, in a significant minority of cases, this is money that will actually go to their next of kin. the department for work and pensions said it is fully committed to ensuring the historical errors made by successive governments are corrected, and it's improved training to make sure it doesn't happen again. a team of 500 civil servants is now working to trace women like irene who were short—changed. but it will take years to complete. sarah corker, bbc news. sir steve webb is the former pensions minister and a partner at lane clark and peacock. thank you forjoining us this morning. this is notjust a catalogue of errors, it is a failure to act to correct them. absolutely. i

people need to check what they are getting and if they are not sure it is right, particularly older women on low pensions, they need to ask for a review. an earthquake has struck the australian state of victoria, damaging buildings in melbourne and causing tremors hundreds of kilometres away. geologists say the quake is the largest in south east australia since the 1800's. shaimaa khalil reports from sydney. melbourne residents in shock assessing the damage after a magnitude six earthquake hit the state of victoria. the north—eastern town of mansfield was the epicentre, but the tremors were felt strongly in the country's second city and as far away as canberra, sydney and adelaide. the prime minister spoke just as he arrived in washington. at this stage, we have had no reports of serious incidents or worse and that is very good news and we hope that that good news will continue, but, obviously, we'll get further reports as the night unfolds here in the united states. but it can be a very, very disturbing event for an earthquake of this nature, they are very rare events in australia, and, as a result, i'm sure people would have been quite distressed and disturbed by that, particularly in the most immediate area affected. several buildings and a hospital were evacuated in melbourne. the australian broadcasting service breakfast presenters were still in the studio when they felt the tremor. 0h, we have never had an earthquake in here before! a heart surgeon was in the middle of an operation when the earthquake hit. it was definitely extrapolated and we could feel the effects of that. fortunately, we were at the stage of the operation where we could sort of, you know, come to a halt and just wait for that to pass. we subsequently carried on and finish the surgery. large tremors of this magnitude are uncommon in australia. this quake, one of the country's largest in recent years, struck at a depth of ten kilometres. victoria state emergency service warned residents about possible after—shocks as the damage from this earthquake continues to emerge. eight countries — including pakistan, turkey and bangladesh — have been taken off the travel red

110 million �*unnecessary�* prescriptions are handed out in england every year — according to a new report. the review, led by the chief pharmaceutical officerfor england dr keith ridge, found the elderly, those with disabilities and people from ethnic minority backgrounds are disproportionately affected. the government says it's appointing a �*prescribing tsar�* to help with the issue. lava flowing from the volcano that erupted on the spanish island of la palma on sunday has now destroyed more than two hundred houses. nearly 6,000 people who live near the cumbre vieja volcano have been evacuated. the lava is flowing at an estimated speed of three hundred metres an hour down towards the sea. our correspondent dan johnson is there for us a fourth day of eruptions here. the in all keeps rumbling, spewing out lava, probably the calmest we've seen at this morning. not as peers as it has been for the last three days and nights but it never stops and no one can do anything to stop the lava flowing down the hillside. scorched right across the landscape, a huge black scar across the hillsides and everything the lab that touches six on fire, gets burned or buried by the sheer volume of the lava, it is really destructive. it has been a spectacular display, nature's fireworks, nature's strongest forces at work but it is doing huge damage not only to the landscape back to villages and homes. we saw a village at the bottom of the lava flow being evacuated yesterday. people given the chance to grab a few last things and get to safety before their homes were engulfed by the lava and it is really distressing to see that because people are leaving their homes behind knowing that they will never be able to go back there. even buildings not destroyed by the lava are going to be cut off or be too dangerous and they will have to be abandoned, this is a really big issue for the future of those communities and how their silent recovers from this. the footballer and food campaigner marcus rashford is set to find a new type of stardom... on the school syllabus. some students starting gcse media studies this autumn will learn about how the striker used his high profile to influence the world beyond football. here s our education editor branwenjeffreys. marcus rashford has become an outspoken campaigner on food poverty, raising money for charity, putting pressure on ministers over free school meals, sharing, with bbc breakfast, how he relied on them as a boy. all this led to an honour from the queen for speaking up for vulnerable children. but now, recognition of a different kind as his social campaigning becomes part of gcse media studies. i think lots of people see social media as quite a negative side, and this is how it can be used to really make change and do good. they will study not just his food campaigning, but also how the footballer dealt with racism in sport, weathering abuse after missing his penalty at the euro 2020 final. and the public support when the mural in his home town defaced. gcse media studies is a barometer of social change. marcus rashford is a role model for many children. so he is replacing zoe sugg. known to millions as zoella, she has gone from teen influencer to appealing more to mums. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor i have been hearing you say it is the autumn equinox, what does that mean? it is getting to the time of year when we are going to see day and night switch over, that will happen later this week. it is the official start to autumn, it probably feels like it in the north—west of scotland, lots of rain and strong winds, rain spreading across other parts of scotland, potentially glasgow and to the west of northern ireland. allowed in western parts of the uk, sunshine in the east and a feeling of late summer, 22 or 22 celsius. 0vernight, patchy rain pushes southwards, frequent showers in the north of scotland, gale force winds, temperatures not as low as last night, not in the way of mist and fog around. further outbreaks of rain in western scotland, bright and windy in 0rkney and shetland, some sunny spells elsewhere. drizzle in the far south—west, in the sunshine, 23 or 24 degrees. england and wales will be fresher next week. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: white house talks between borisjohnson and joe biden, but the us president has played down the prospect of brokering a free trade deal with the uk, and issued a fresh warning over northern ireland trade. a catalogue of errors that led to thousands of people, mostly women, being underpaid by a billion pounds in state pensions. a man's been charged with the murders of three children and a woman in derbyshire. they were found dead at a house in killamarsh on sunday. the government is set to pay the operating costs to restart production of carbon dioxide at a key plant in the uk amid fears over food supplies. a powerful earthquake strikes south—eastern australia. it's felt in melbourne, canberra and sydney. and eight countries — including pakistan, turkey and bangladesh — are taken off england's travel red list, meaning people will no longer have to quarantine in a hotel. and coming up... new figures show that the number of parents having a baby using a surrogate in england and wales has almost quadrupled in the last ten years. sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. it's been a brilliant start for england women's head coach sarina wiegman with two wins from two in world cup qualifying, 18 goals scored across both matches, ten of them coming against luxembourg. there were also wins for all of the home nations. jo currie reports. when you're facing a team ranked 114 places beneath you, surely it's a case of not if you'll win but by how many. and it didn't take long for the gulf in quality to show. ellen white at a stretch with the opener. wonderfulfinish. and just five minutes later she got their second to send the lionesses well on their way and move her to within three goals of equalling england's goal—scoring record. the visitors added two more before the break. sarina wiegman's second game in charge going very much to plan. in the second half, a screamer of an effort from alex greenwood. a centre back scoring a centre forward's goal. her second of the night, the perfect way to mark her 50th cap. her centre back partner millie bright then added two more before this poignant moment from rachel daly, scoring just one week on from the death of her father, the emotion clear to see. there won't be a more popular goal—scorer. england made it ten before the full—time whistle to sign off an emphatic win in luxembourg. the world cup may be two years away, but next year northern ireland will play in the euros. their first—ever major tournament. meaning this qualifying campaign is about wins and international experience. after a frustrating first half, they went on to win comfortably. it ended 4—0 against latvia. rachel furness wrapping up proceedings from the spot. the women's first game at windsor park in nine years ending with new fans made. wales shot out of the blocks away to estonia. in towards harding! it's only taken four minutes. but that is where the momentum ended. they found the net again, but this effort was ruled offside. the win, though, and the three points were all that mattered. the goals of the night, however, belonged to scotland. erin cuthbert launching a rocket to put them ahead at home to the faroe islands, while claire emslie matched that with this sensational free—kick to secure a 7—1win. a great night all round for the home nations. jo currie, bbc news. some brilliant goals there. plenty more and a couple of upsets in the third round of the league cup last night. liverpool beating norwich in the all premier league encounter at carrow road. the top flight�*s bottom side were no match for liverpool — takumi minamino put them ahead early on, before divock 0rigi headed home in the second half. minamino got his second late on to seal their place in the fourth round. all the results are on the bbc sport website. gary neville has again called for an an independent regulator within football. it comes as the premier league clubs meet to agree a new nine—point charter to prevent future breakaway plans. there should be an independent regulator put in place. this is too little, far too late. this is then reacting to a situation. they don't want an independent regulator in football watching over them, and now they are trying to put something in place. as i say, they have tried to break away twice, some clubs are still saying to this day there will be a european super league. we know they are in it for investment purposes, that is fine, no problem. however, there has to be boundaries set by an independent body, and that is hopefully going to happen. gard; is hopefully going to happen. gary neville speaking _ is hopefully going to happen. gary neville speaking on bbc breakfast this morning. signs again that andy murray is far from finished having won his opening match at the moselle open in france. he beat the world number 26, ugo humbert, in three sets — the highest ranked player he's defeated this season. the win sets up a second—round tie with canada's vasek pospisil. european ryder cup captain padraig harrington has been illustrating just how special playing in the tournament is. just 164 players will have represented europe in golf�*s team event — that means more people have been into space or climbed mount everest. the stirring speech has clearly had an impact, with rory mcilroy ready to scale new heights in wisconsin. he played a video for us last night to put it into context. 570 people have been into space, i think over 5,000 people have climbed everest, 225 have won a men's major. so when you sort of break it down like that, it's a pretty small group and it's pretty cool. that's all the sport for now. back to you, luxmy. thank you. more now on one of our top stories and ministers have struck a deal to restart the uk's commercial production of carbon dioxide after warnings the shortage could disrupt food supplies. but is it the end of the crisis? our business correspondent nina warhurst is at a brewery in salford, to see how they have been affected. this is seven brothers brewery in salford where, you guessed it, seven brothers set up a brewery to sell the beer on. we have all had a crash course in the past few days about the intrinsic value of carbon dioxide to ourfood the intrinsic value of carbon dioxide to our food and the intrinsic value of carbon dioxide to ourfood and drink the intrinsic value of carbon dioxide to our food and drink supply chain. i want to talk you through its importance here. these are the beerfermenters. the its importance here. these are the beer fermenters. the carbon dioxide is used to purge them, basically to cleanse them of oxygen in between each load going in. 0ver there, you have the tins they go in and the packer, and you may or may not know that carbon dioxide also goes inside the tins to make sure your bs day is pure. 0ver the tins to make sure your bs day is pure. over here, we have the beer pumps themselves —— to make sure your beer stays pure. carbon dioxide is used to push the liquid out and into your glass. let's remind ourselves about why there has been so much tension around the supply of carbon dioxide. it has been well covered, the wholesale gas price has more than doubled since january because of increased demand and reduced supply. prices have got so high that some businesses couldn't afford to go on. cf industries makes fertilisers here in the uk and carbon dioxide is their main by—product, which is sold on and makes up 60% of the supply of carbon dioxide in the uk. we know it is used in many food and drinks, and one industry group warned yesterday that any further delay would see gaps on the shelves within the course of a few days. but that deal has now been struck, a multi—million pound deal by the government to back cf industries to make sure carbon dioxide flow remains. but they could be a lag of about three days before the production begins once again, and that will have an impact. let's talk to keith, because we have gone through the importance of carbon dioxide to you. when you heard about the deal last night, what was your reaction? ads, the deal last night, what was your reaction? �* , , ., . reaction? a sense of relief. we weren't overly _

country, many of them telling us all of those things at play will mean a shortage in products in the short term at least, and if not that then prices being driven up for consumers. so, yes, a crisis averted now, but what comes next? . . , the number of people having a baby with a surrogate mother in england and wales has almost quadrupled in the last ten years. applications for court orders which transfer rights from the surrogate to the intended parents increased from 117 in 2011 to 413 in 2020. the figures emerged from research by a team at kent university and a surrogacy matching agency. jayne mccubbin has been investigating. let me introduce three families. my name's natalie, i'm 34 and a first—time surrogate. each with their own journey into surrogacy. hi, i'm carina. i'm 41 years old and i'm a mum of four beautiful children, each born through surrogacy following a breast cancer diagnosis. each have given or received perhaps the greatest gift there could ever be. this is fran. fran is mum to grace. and this is gina, and gina i was grace's tummy mummy. the gift of a brand—new life — or three. carina's journey might have begun with a near—fatal health condition, but it's brought her, joyfully, right here. all: we are the de mons! so ena was my very first surrogate who gave birth to my daughter amala, and laura was my second surrogate, who gave birth to the triplets for me. and, you know, those women transformed my life. they made me a mum. they gave me something that many medics told me would never be possible. and, you know, they made my dreams come true. and for them, i'm forever grateful. they are a small part of a growing number of surrogate children. a report shown exclusively to the bbc shows the number of parents having a baby using a surrogate in england and wales has almost quadrupled in the last ten years. from 117 in 2011, to over 400 last year. for carina and also for frances, finding a surrogate was life—changing. when you're given a cancer diagnosis, your whole life just changes in seconds and it's like you just fall into this hole. and then when evelyn was born, who was the first one, it felt like the first time since that diagnosis — sorry — this weight had been lifted. there was no handing over. it wasjust all four of us being in the room, part of a wonderful birth. and ijust watched a family being created, literally in front of my eyes. almost felt like i was encroaching on their moment — of the beginning of their family. it was beautiful. gina and the girls saved my life. but almost 40 years ago, surrogacy was viewed with suspicion. months after britain's first surrogate baby was born, so too were the very first surrogacy laws. today, those laws are under review. 0nly altruistic surrogacy is allowed here. surrogates can't advertise and they can't charge a fee — only expenses. carina paid around £75,000 in expenses for her family. because there isn't an actual legal framework that surrogacy operates within, there's a heck of a lot of trust that's needed. and the classic thing is people always say, "what if she keeps your baby?" but one thing that ena said to me, and it really opened my eyes with regards to the law and the way it stands, she said, "my biggest fear is what if you don't take your baby? because, legally, i'm that child's mum." so there are two sides to every coin here. the end of natalie's surrogacy journey is now weeks away. she and husband jack already have two children, but her surrogacy dream was born out of the heartbreak of having a stillborn daughter. i always try and take positives from any situation. planning to bring my own home and not doing that was the hardest thing that i've ever had to do. but to have somebody else's baby that isn't genetically linked to me at all, for them to worship and love and cherish is a positive thing that's come out of a very negative, dark period. this was the embryo. these were the tests. and this — well, this is the very moment she broke the news to her intended parents, andy and gareth. i'm excited, i can't wait. the best part about being pregnant is not the stresses. i don't have to worry about what i haven't got or what i need to get, you know, all these things. i honestly cannot wait to see their faces. i have said if they don't cry, i might punch them. it was a concern for me that, at the end of the process, how nat would feel handing the baby over. but now, meeting the guys and getting to know them, no, that's not a concern for me at all, because, like nat said, we get to sort of share in the joy that they get. all of these families agree that current laws need reform, but all agree there is no greater gift than parenthood. parenthood, to me, means the ability to nurture, create and grow your child in any way, shape orform. unconditional love from the moment they're in your arms. i wasn't able to do the first nine months of their life. but i'll be here for the rest of their lives. as long as you love them, that's all you need, really. megan wing looked into becoming a surrogate when she was furloughed during lockdown. shejoins us now. thank you she joins us now. thank you for your time this morning. ijust want to ask the question, so why did you decide to try to become a surrogate? and how does the fact that you haven't had your own children and extra considerations to your decision?— extra considerations to your decision? , ., . . ,, decision? first of all, thank you for having _ decision? first of all, thank you for having me — decision? first of all, thank you for having me here. _ decision? first of all, thank you for having me here. i _ decision? first of all, thank you for having me here. i am - decision? first of all, thank you for having me here. i am really| for having me here. i am really appreciative. so i got into it because i was on furlough for eight months and i decided in that time that i wanted to donate my eggs. i have always wanted to be a surrogate, even though i have never wanted my own kids, i have always wanted my own kids, i have always wanted to be a surrogate so when i was on furlough i thought, this is the best time to try, really. i tried and it went swimmingly and i did it again and it was the most amazing rewarding feeling, but i did it anonymously so although i had that sense of relief, i didn't have that sense of relief, i didn't have that sort of comfort of knowing who got my eggs or anything like that. so then, when i came back to work and i was in a stable place where i thought, do you know what, i can do this, just one evening i decided to google it and here i am! stand this, just one evening i decided to google it and here i am!— this, just one evening i decided to google it and here i am! and we saw in that report _ google it and here i am! and we saw in that report that _ google it and here i am! and we saw in that report that it _ google it and here i am! and we saw in that report that it can _ google it and here i am! and we saw in that report that it can be - google it and here i am! and we saw in that report that it can be an - in that report that it can be an emotional minefield because there is that potential kind of attachment and things like that, but you managed to avoid that, i presume? yes, i think because i'm at the stage where i'm talking to two intended parents and i know they will be using their own embryos, their own eggs, i know there is not that worry for me. and i think because i am so set on the idea of not wanting kids for the rest of my life, ifeel like it is not wanting kids for the rest of my life, i feel like it is something i'm very confident and comfortable to be able to donate, have the child and then, like the video said, hand them off and they spend their life with their real family. [30 them off and they spend their life with their real family.— them off and they spend their life with their real family. do you think attitudes towards _ with their real family. do you think attitudes towards surrogacy - with their real family. do you think attitudes towards surrogacy have l attitudes towards surrogacy have changed?

these criminals. after a year in calais and two failed attempts, alex has realised he's now prepared to risk his life. i am waiting for the result of my asylum case. he has decided to stay in france. i have memories here, memories of my life here. they are stressful memories but i love them. this is life, c'est la vie. a new initiative to recycle face masks — in a bid to tackle plastic pollution — has begun. the masks are being melted and transformed into litter grabbers, which are being given to every school and college in cornwall. ijust found it in the bush! at penpol school near cambourne, pupils don't have to go too far from the school gates before they come across litter, and each picker they're using is made from used hospital protective equipment. you can pick up a mask with these, that are made out of masks, and ijust think it's really cool. instead of chucking it away, they're something really useful. i don't understand why it would just be children rather than grown—ups.| and grown—ups have more free time as well. - the arrival of covid last year means the nhs has been using more plastic. so pre—covid, we were using about 300 masks a day, just for theatres mostly, and then covid struck and that increased to 10,000 a day. this machine is being tipped as the answer. it melts masks and tray wraps, and can reach temperatures of over 300 degrees celsius. obviously, we need to remove the ear straps and the wire that sits over your nose. basically, it'sjust like a giant oven. you know, it melts it all down, and that makes one of the big blocks, which then gets taken away, and ground down into plastic granules and repurposed. 45 masks are needed to make each picker. the hospital recognises repurposing is not a perfect solution, but says it's better than using an incinerator. at the moment, this is the best that we have. we all want to get to reusable ppe — that's the end result, but the barriers are there for a very good reason and we must stick with them to keep our staff and patients safe. and that will happen. i think that'sjust a matter of time. all 332 schools and colleges across cornwall will be given their own pickers in the coming weeks, but the hope is that one day it will be safe enough to re—use masks in more health care settings and further reduce the nhs's environmental footprint. laura foster, bbc news, truro. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. it has felt a bit autumnal, but is there a last gasp of summer?

these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. white house talks between borisjohnson and joe biden — but the us president has played down the prospect of brokering a free trade deal with the uk, and issued a fresh warning over northern ireland trade. the deal with the uk, that's continued to be discussed. but the protocols, ifeel very strongly about those. and at the un president biden promises a new era in his first address to the general assembly — promising relentless diplomacy rather than relentless war. a catalogue of errors that led to thousands of people, mostly women, being underpaid by a billion pounds in state pensions in the uk if you're one of the people who's been affected by these errors, we'd like to hear your
