reforms to social media. there is a cancer in our children's lives. it starts with the use of a mobile phone, with apps that are provided to entertain, yet are used to spread slander, hatred, misinformation and bile, it ends in a cold, cruel, cold—blooded murder. police release footage of a man wanted over the killing of sabina nessa in south—east london, as they continue to question another man on suspicion of her murder. tonight, a vigil will be held in the area where the 28—year—old primary school teacher lived. elsewhere: a new report warns it could take a decade to clear the backlog of cancer treatment in england. and... anyone for doubles? the duchess of cambridge congratulates emma raducanu on winning the us open, as she looks ahead to the future. i still think i have a lot of room for development _ in terms of my tennis career and where it can go, - so i'm excited to start working on it. - senior government ministers are meeting to discuss the closure of some petrol stations, because of a shortage of delivery drivers. queues are forming at several forecourts, despite government pleas for people not to panic buy fuel. both bp and esso have closed some petrol stations because of supply problems. borisjohnson is understood to be considering relaxing visa rules to allow more foreign truck drivers into britain, to ease fuel shortages. our business correspondent, theo leggett, reports. queues outside petrol stations — they've been appearing up and down the country as motorists worry they might not be able to fill up. the fuel giant bp has admitted that some of its outlets have been running dry and a small number have had to close. other retailers have also been affected. but operators say panic—buying will only make matters worse. if you don't need to fill up, don't fill up. there's no shortage. if you're unlucky enough when you do need fuel that a site is out, the chances are the next nearest one won't be. and let's be honest, there are plenty of petrol stations for a vast majority of the population. it's not as if you have to drive half an hour to find one — there's plenty about. so don't panic—buy — itjust causes more of a problem. there isn't actually a shortage of fuel — the uk's refineries have plenty. the problem is getting it to petrol stations. the issues that bp has been having in getting supplies to garages like this one are serious in themselves, and it's because the company can't get it hold of enough tanker drivers. because the company can't get hold of enough tanker drivers. but that's merely a symptom of a much wider problem — a national shortage of heavy goods vehicle drivers that is affecting the entire economy. at the moment, experts say the country needs an extra 90,000—100,000 drivers, but recruiting and training them takes time. it isn'tjust as simple as "yes, you have passed your "test today — brilliant. "we're going to send you to scotland or cornwall tomorrow," because there are lots of other things and safety—related things that have to be done — making sure they know how to secure loads and things like that, the drivers�* hours, making sure they know what... so it's notjust a case of a steering wheel attendant any more. there's a lot of pressure behind a driver to make sure that all the boxes are ticked. this instructor says there's plenty of demand from would—be drivers. the only problem we have at the moment is test dates, getting enough tests for the candidates, because we have such a backlog, and i'm sure we're not the only company in that position. people within the industry say more immediate measures are needed while new drivers are trained up. they want foreign hauliers to be given short—term visas to help fill the gap. the government has been reluctant to do this, but today the transport secretary said all options were open. i would do whatever is required, if that would help. what i don't want to do, and i have been hinting at this, is undercut, as has happened before, with cheaper european drivers and then find that our drivers drop out because they're being undercut. that doesn't solve the problem — itjust creates a new problem. the shortage of lorry drivers is so serious that it's unlikely any single step will solve it in the short term. but ministers are acutely aware that further disruptions to the supply chain could mean even more empty shelves in the run—up to christmas. theo leggett, bbc news. let's get the very latest from our political correspondent, peter saull. reports that the government are thinking about relaxing those foreign visa rules to allow more foreign visa rules to allow more foreign lorry drivers to come into this country and help alleviate the shortage of hgv drivers? that this country and help alleviate the shortage of hgv drivers?- shortage of hgv drivers? that is riuht. shortage of hgv drivers? that is right- you _ shortage of hgv drivers? that is right. you heard _ shortage of hgv drivers? that is right. you heard grant _ shortage of hgv drivers? that is right. you heard grant shapps, l shortage of hgv drivers? that is i right. you heard grant shapps, the transport secretary, saying there they are not ruling anything out or in. just like last night sources on the home office were telling us that this idea of a new visa for hgv drivers coming from the continent was not under consideration. now it is understood that the home secretary priti patel has softened her opinion on that particular measure. we are not expecting any kind of imminent announcement, but it does seem that is something that is certainly being considered at top levels. this meeting has been going on this afternoon involving senior ministers and officials from the home office and the department for transport to try to fundamentally get more lorries onto the road, but evenif get more lorries onto the road, but even if they were to relax those post—brexit immigration rules there is no guarantee this would solve the problem very quickly because no one really knows quite how many lorry drivers they are on the continent waiting to come to immediately work here in the uk. mil waiting to come to immediately work here in the uk-_ here in the uk. all right, peter, thank you _ here in the uk. all right, peter, thank you very _ here in the uk. all right, peter, thank you very much _ here in the uk. all right, peter, thank you very much indeed. i here in the uk. all right, peter, i thank you very much indeed. let's talk more about the hgv driver shortage. joining me now is james clifford, chief executive of hgvt, a company which provides heavy goods vehicle training across the country. thanks very much for being with us and the problem, the real problem, most of the driver shortage appears to be the fact that people have just not been able to take these hgv tests in the last year or so because of the pandemic?— of the pandemic? that is... i don't think that is _ of the pandemic? that is... i don't think that is entirely _ of the pandemic? that is... i don't think that is entirely true. - of the pandemic? that is... i don't think that is entirely true. there i think that is entirely true. there was a large shortage of drivers before the pandemic, around 50,000 vacancies in the uk, and what the pandemic and brexit has done is created another 50,000 vacancies, so we are now looking at around 100,000 vacancies in the uk and so we have gone from a driver shortage in 2019 to a driver crisis in 2021. but i am not convinced it is just the pandemic that has caused this or brexit. so pandemic that has caused this or brexit. . pandemic that has caused this or brexit, ,, ., ., ., pandemic that

this is such a problem across the food industry, we are seeing it now and petrol stations, you know, warnings about shortages for christmas as well, so just define for us what you think the causes of this driver shortage are? ~ , ., ., ., , are? well, drivers traditionally have been _ are? well, drivers traditionally have been an _ are? well, drivers traditionally have been an older— are? well, drivers traditionally have been an older male - are? well, drivers traditionally - have been an older male demographic and so, what has happened in the last 5—7 years is that more drivers have been leaving the profession and have been leaving the profession and have been leaving the profession and have been coming in because wages were not that attractive and so people were looking for different careers and differentjobs than truck driving. what has happened in the last two years, which has exacerbated everything, is rules to tax changes, something called iol 35 has been introduced, which meant a lot of people quit very, very quickly and of course we have had two years of people retiring and leaving the profession with no new drivers coming in, which has caused additional pressures. then on top of that about 50,000 — additional pressures. then on top of that about 50,000 - 20,000 additional pressures. then on top of that about 50,000 — 20,000 european drivers are no longer with us because they have gone back to their own country after brexit. so because they have gone back to their own country after brexit.— own country after brexit. so we need a roundabout — own country after brexit. so we need a roundabout 100,000 _ own country after brexit. so we need a roundabout 100,000 new- own country after brexit. so we need a roundabout 100,000 new drivers, | a roundabout 100,000 new drivers, but how easy is it to train up new drivers quickly? because i think the government have been saying they are changing the rules, actually, on the driving tests for hgv drivers, so hopefully there will be more coming through the pipeline. that is right, in the uk there are about currently 75,000 tests available per year and there is about a 50—55% pass rate, so you would only be looking at new drivers coming into the profession of about 37,000 or 40,000 new drivers coming into the profession every year and that does not take into account the people leaving the profession. what the government have announced with regards to releasing extra tests by not requiring trailer testing to be done any more is to probably increase that capacity to about 100,000 tests per year, so with the best will in the world that is 60,000 new drivers and probably about 50,000 leaving the profession, may be less because wages are so high at the moment. so this is not a quick fix, this is a slow burn in terms of getting more drivers into the industry. but terms of getting more drivers into the industry-— terms of getting more drivers into the indust . �* ., , ., ~' the industry. but do you think there are new drivers _ the industry. but do you think there are new drivers who _ the industry. but do you think there are new drivers who want _ the industry. but do you think there are

to become a truck driver and there is no relief from the government or any other sources in terms of funding that, it is a self—funded course and of course thatis self—funded course and of course that is a problem for a lot of people, but undoubtedly we are seeing more people and we are booking more courses than we have donein booking more courses than we have done in the last 12—24 months. interesting. all right, james clifford, thank you very much. james clifford, thank you very much. james clifford bearfrom hgvc, which is a company providing heavy goods vehicle training. the british retail consortium has warned that disruption to festive preparations will be "inevitable" if progress is not made in the next ten days. andrew opie is director of food and sustainability at the british retail consortium, which represents uk retailers. i think you have been saying ten days to save christmas. how bad do you think this crisis of supply is? well, it was already a problem. just people were no doubt shopping —— people were no doubt shopping —— people will know that struggling to date back shopping on their own supermarkets, they were struggling. the reason i say in the next ten daysis the reason i say in the next ten days is retailers will start to stock all the warehouses ready for the big christmas rush, so you get the big christmas rush, so you get the food in place so you can really focus on those last two or three weeks on getting the food into stores and replenishing stores, but you have to have it in your supply chain to start with and that build—up will start in the next week or so, so unless we get more drivers than we are going to see significant disruption because if we are already struggling now imagine what it is going to be like christmas when we are all out in supermarkets buying a lot more than we normally would. yes, and we have seen problems with the carbon dioxide shortage as well for the big shops and the supermarkets in terms of food products. it is notjust a problem with hgv drivers? it products. it is not 'ust a problem with hgv drivers?_ with hgv drivers? it has been a reall , with hgv drivers? it has been a really. really —

has been a really, really tough year and a i really, really tough year and a tough few weeks with the carbon dioxide issue coming on the back of the covid problem is that we had in terms of keeping the supply chain going, but it is absolutely fundamental that we get these visas quickly. otherwise customers are going to be disappointed at christmas. we are just running to keep up at the moment the supply chain. start adding 25—30% extra volume is in the run—up to christmas and you can quickly see why we have such a problem. and you can quickly see why we have such a problem-— and you can quickly see why we have such a problem. yes, but having said that we were — such a problem. yes, but having said that we were just _ such a problem. yes, but having said that we were just talking _ such a problem. yes, but having said that we were just talking to - such a problem. yes, but having said that we were just talking to the - that we were just talking to the gentleman from hgvc there, the hgv training company, saying that actually there is no quick fix, you can'tjust actually there is no quick fix, you can't just train actually there is no quick fix, you can'tjust train up overnight about 100,000 heavy goods vehicle drivers? that is exactly why our proposal is a temporary fix. what we are saying to the government is, give us these visas so we can dip into a much bigger pool of qualified drivers by bringing them in from europe until that testing which the government says it is accelerating catches up with the demand, so we are talking about a temporary visa scheme here. it is not a major change in the immigration system. uk retailers want to employ uk drivers, but we need some breathing space and we definitely need that really quickly. otherwise we are going to see christmas problems. but otherwise we are going to see christmas problems.— otherwise we are going to see christmas problems. but even if the government — christmas problems. but even if the government make _ christmas problems. but even if the government make that _ christmas problems. but even if the government make that decision - christmas problems. but even if the government make

well, we are confident we can recruit them - step into the breach? well, we are confident we can recruit them if. step into the breach? well, we are| confident we can recruit them if the government gives us the option. we pay very, very high wages compared to some of the other european countries here. we have agencies we know that would recruit in europe, but we just don't have the option at the moment and that is what the government needs to understand, the pool of qualified drivers we can draw on in the uk is simply too small, so give us the breathing space until next year when we will have more uk qualified drivers, but at the moment as it stands we will see problems at christmas. and at the moment as it stands we will see problems at christmas. and you are sa in: see problems at christmas. and you are saying ten _ see problems at christmas. and you are saying ten days _ see problems at christmas. and you are saying ten days to _ see problems at christmas. and you are saying ten days to save - are saying ten days to save christmas. i mean, there is a worry also that there is going to be panic buying and we have seen big queues already today at petrol stations? yes, we are really anxious to avoid that. that is not a good thing for any of our customers, so we have been saying this to government. i have to say, since spring, we have been saying this, that we need to do something because we could see where the problems are. we are really running up against it and now there is a very small window that is closing very quickly. the government could act and it could make a difference. otherwise unfortunately millions of us are going to be affected at christmas. it could be avoided if they acted quickly. shill avoided if they acted quickly. all right, andrew opie, good to talk to you, andrew opie bearfrom the british retail consortium. thank you for your time. the headlines on bbc news: the government urges motorists not to panic buy fuel, as queues form at some service stations amid fears of shortages due to a lack of delivery drivers. three schoolchildren have been sentenced to a total of 28 years for killing reading teenager olly stephens in a berkshire beauty spot in january. police release cctv footage of a man wanted over the killing of sabina nessa in south—east london, as they continue to question another man on suspicion of her murder. more than one of those headlines now. —— on one those headlines. three teenagers who killed a 13—year—old boy over a social media row have been sentenced to custody in young offenders' institutions. a girl lured olly stephens to a field in reading in berkshire injanuary, where two boys stabbed him to death. the boys, aged 14, were found guilty of murder following a trial at reading crown court. one was sentenced to 13 years and the other to 12 years. the girl, who's14, admitted manslaughter and was given three years and two months. none of them can be identified for legal reasons. let's get this report from helena wilkinson. olly was, his parents say, generous, caring and always would stand up for the defenceless. here he is captured on a neighbours' door bell camera leaving home on a sunday afternoon injanuary. he had just told his mum that he loved her. i went to the door and it was a boy that i knew. olly wouldn't have anything to do with him normally. and he said, "olly has been stabbed." and ijust remember running back towards the stairs because stewart was upstairs and shouting "ollie has been stabbed!" his sister was upstairs as well. they both came screaming down the stairs and you ran out without your shoes on over to the field. an off—duty nurse walking her dog found olly and tried to resuscitate him, but he died at the scene. stuart just fell to his knees and he was just screaming, "my boy, my boy. n°_" he screamed that and i looked over and olly was just com pletely lifeless. there was somebody trying to do cpr, but the colouring of his skin and the fact that he just wasn't moving at all... yes, you knew immediately. he had gone. olly was lured to the park by the girl as part of the setup. the two boys were already there, waiting to attack. olly and the two boys knew each other, but had fallen out. the boys believed olly grassed on them to the brother of a boy they had mocked in a social media group chat. during the trial, the jury was shown videos and photos found on the mobiles belonging to the two boys. this is the younger boy showing off his knives in his bedroom. he was 13 when he stabbed olly with a vegetable knife. the older boy was 14 and had posed with a knife for photos himself. the age of the children involved has made the investigation shocking - and i think the overwhelming emotion that i feel and the investigation - team feels is one of sadness. the death of any 13—year—old boy | in these circumstances is tragic. | but it's even more so when you take into account the ages _ of those responsible. it's eight months since olly died. a tree is growing where he was found. a place for his family to visit. when olly left home on the day he was killed, his parents said he had a spring in his step and laughter in his heart. this is how they see they will remember him. this is how they say they will remember him. helena wilkinson, bbc news, reading crown court. speaking a short time ago, olly�*s father stuart paid this tribute to their son. it was an honour to have someone so loving, caring and protective. to have shifted the gift of time with him... we relax for a few moments and took our eyes off him forjust a moment. it cost him dearly. we love him from the moment he was born and we will continue to for evermore. we stand here today not victorious or celebrating, but deeply saddened by the events that played out and led to the demise of our son. we started with olly doing as he always did, standing up and protecting others, and ended with a knife being thrust into our son's body not once, but twice, with fatal and devastating consequences. there is a cancer in our children's lives. it starts with the use of a mobile phone, with apps that are provided to entertain, yet are used to spread slander, hatred, misinformation and bile and ends in the cold, cold blooded murder. olly is not the only victim. there have been far too many already.- been far too many already. olly's father there.

and to think about her family. we have seen a steady stream of people coming here to the site near where her body was found, people leaving flowers and cards, candles. many people did not know sabina nessa until this week, but still they feel compelled to come down here to share their thoughts and condolences with herfamily down here to share their thoughts and condolences with her family and and condolences with her family and a number of the cards left here today point out she was a young woman who went out on a friday evening to meet a friend, something many of us do without thinking. those cards expressing their sorrow and also their shock at how she could be murdered so close to her home on a journey that was only supposed to take a five minutes. from the police point of view this evening, the crucial thing they are reiterating to members of the public to look at that cctv footage of the man they found on cctv near the area she was supposed to meet a friend last friday. they are very keen to speak to him and are also keen to trace a vehicle they believe he has access to. he is thought to be vital to this murder investigation, that 38—year—old man arrested yesterday remains in police custody under questioning and we know in the local area here tonight there are still police officers out carrying out searches for bridges and gravel pathway is still collecting evidence, so the police investigation is still very much in full swing tonight, though there will be a moment's pause for reflection to think about sabina nessa, who one week ago went out to meet herfriend and nessa, who one week ago went out to meet her friend and she never made that meeting. meet her friend and she never made that meeting-— meet her friend and she never made that meeting.

berger beating english pair lee westwood and matt fitzpatrick, so very much advantage team usa. the four balls get going in just over half an hour. warwickshire are cricket's county champions, taking the title for the first time since 2012. they beat somerset by 118 runs at edgbaston. the bears' eighth title triumph denied lancashire, who will instead have to settle for second place and a meeting with warwickshire in next week's bob willis trophy final at lord's. another huge sporting event taking place this weekend is the world heavyweight championship fight between anthonyjoshua and oleksandr usyk. the pair have weighed in this afternoon ahead of the bout tomorrow night at the tottenham hotspur stadium. usyk was at his heaviest ever weight for the fight, withjoshua still 20 pounds heavier. the brit's wba, wbo and ibf are on the line. red bull's max verstappen will start sunday's russian grand prix from the back of the grid as a result of a penalty for using too many engines this season. in second practice today, it was a mercedes one—two with valtteri bottas finishing quickest, just ahead of his team—mate lewis hamilton. verstappen's grid penalty gives hamilton and mercedes a golden opportunity to gain ground in the championship — the dutchman is five points ahead of hamilton heading into this weekend. the liverpool managerjurgen klopp says now is a "good moment" to consider bringing in safe standing at stadiums. premier league and championship clubs can now apply to pilot safe standing areas from january next year, and klopp says he would welcome it. the stadiums are completely different to the time when these really sad, sad things happened, construction is different, all these kind of things, so i think i liked it. i like the idea, but especially i am really excited about how much better the adversary could be if we have safe standing. == better the adversary could be if we have safe standing.— have safe standing. -- the atmosphere

british number one, who's now ranked 113th in the world, lost in straight sets to the top seed — poland's hubert hurkacz. meanwhile, us open champion emma raducanu has split with her coach who helped guide her to a first major title earlier this month. andrew richardson was hired for the summer tournaments in the united states, which ended with that extraordinary win in new york where the 18—year—old became the first british woman to win a grand slam for 44 years and the first qualifier to win a major too. today, she was playing with royalty — the duchess of cambridge making a guest appearance at an lta event to mark her achievement. i definitely want to keep just improving and being the best version of myself on the court and off the court and maximising my potential, and i still think i have a lot of room for development in terms of my tennis career and where it can go. yeah, excited to start working on it. you can watch that in full over on bbc iplayer. that is all from me. join lizzie and the team for sportsday 6:30 p:m.. that is all from me. thank you. borisjohnson is understood to be considering relaxing visa rules to allow more foreign truck drivers into britain, to ease fuel shortages. long queues have been reported outside several petrol stations today, despite appeals from ministers to motorists not to panic—buy fuel. let's discuss the whole panic buying phenomenon. joining me now is professor richard bentall, a professor of clinical psychology at the university of sheffield, who studied panic—buying, including at the start of the pandemic in the uk. i suppose that was a very good example, the panic buying for toilet roles in particular.— roles in particular. actually, one ofthe roles in particular. actually, one of the things— roles in particular. actually, one of the things we _ roles in particular. actually, one of the things we found - roles in particular. actually, one of the things we found was - roles in particular. actually, one| of the things we found was there roles in particular. actually, one i of the things we found was there is not just a of the things we found was there is notjust a panic buying for toilet roles, there was in it buying for a whole range of lines. the panic buying was a bit of a myth. they also panic bought for household goods, so there is a general tendency to panic by. stand goods, so there is a general tendency to panic by. and 'ust talk to us about — tendency to panic by. and 'ust talk to us about what * tendency to panic by. and 'ust talk to us about what fuels _ tendency to panic by. and just talk to us about what fuels panic- tendency to panic by. and just talk i to us about what fuels panic buying, if you excuse the pun, because we are seeing a bit of it known terms of fuel. what is the psychology behind it? we are hearing all these reassuring messages from government ministers and petrol owners, saying, there is plenty of fuel out there, don't panic by, but people tend to ignore that. the don't panic by, but people tend to ignore that-— ignore that. the first thing to bear in mind is panic— ignore that. the first thing to bear in mind is panic buying _ ignore that. the first thing to bear in mind is panic buying is - ignore that. the first thing to bear in mind is panic buying is not - ignore that. the first thing to bear in mind is panic buying is not a i in mind is panic buying is not a completely irrational activity at all. if you look at it from the individual perspective, it is quite rational. when they see resources are depleted. if you think resources are depleted. if you think resources are about to be scarce, what it makes sense to do if you can is to hoard those resources for a time when they will not be available. and the problem is that what is rational at the individual level is madness, if i can put it like that, at a collective level, so to give you a kind of vignette, and this afternoon i was driving home and i passed a petrol station. there was a long line of vehicles. i looked at my fuel indicator, realised i had got very little left, ordinarily, i would've gone home, but i thought, i better go and fill up now. of course what happened was me seeing the line at the petrol station made me think automatically that i might see shortages in the future. on the other hand, mejoining the line made it much longer, the person coming along next would see and think they would have a shortage in future full of from a collective perspective, this can be truly damaging, and what we know of course is that if you get a period of panic buying, even if it is not stimulated by supply shortages, it can lead to demand shortages. this is worse if their genuine supply shortages, because of for example a lack of drivers, which might be attributable to or the pandemic and so on. it might be attributable to or the pandemic and so on.— might be attributable to or the pandemic and so on. it all becomes a self fulfilling — pandemic and so on. it all becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, _ pandemic and so on. it all becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, innocence, i self fulfilling prophecy, innocence, and i suppose once it starts, whether it is rational or not, it is quite hard for the authorities to stop, to calm people down. yeah, so one thing to — stop, to calm people down. yeah, so one thing to realise _ stop, to calm people down. yeah, so one thing to realise is _ stop, to calm people down. yeah, so one thing to realise is some - stop, to calm people down. yeah, so one thing to realise is some people l one thing to realise is some people can be more likely to do it than others. one of the things we have found when we looked at panic buying in the early stage of the pandemic, people with small children at home were much more likely to do it, they are much more concerned about the effects of the depletion of resources. we also found that females tend to do it more than males, and that is maybe not surprising tending that females do most of the shopping, but we have found an interesting effect. those on high incomes were more lengthy to panic because they could. on the other hand, people who thought they were likely to lose income in the future, worried about their financial security, they also tended to panic by more, so people who thought they were going to lose their income or had high income to begin with. and we also found the people who thought that they were at high risk of infection were also likely to panic by, and that makes sense. people are making some kind ofjudgment, a kind of cause irrationaljudgment, about how irrational judgment, about how things irrationaljudgment, about how things are likely to be at the future. it is quite difficult to reverse something that is rational at the individual of a but irrational when it happens at the collective level. a key issue here is, do people trust these messages which are coming from the government orfrom supermarkets or which are coming from the government or from supermarkets or petrol stations? and also relates to that is, what kind of stimuli to people find when they go to those kind of places? for example, it will be pretty sensible for supermarkets to put labels on shelves that look like they're running out of experience, just take an example, you could put a label on the shelf which says something like when the next expected delivery is likely to be, something to reassure people that this is not the start of a global shortage. this is not the start of a global shortaae. ., , this is not the start of

panic buying explained by professor richard bentall. a report suggests it could take more than a decade to clear the backlog in cancer treatment in england. the study by the institute for public policy research says almost 20,000 people have not been diagnosed because of missed referrals during the pandemic. and it says even with a 5% increase in treatments, hospitals may not clear cancer waiting lists until 2033. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. the pandemic has affected all parts of the nhs, with cancer services no exception. one worry is the number of people who fail to get a diagnosis of cancer because they have not yet been referred for specialist tests. now a report from the ippr suggests that that could mean a huge backlog of cases we don't yet know about. there is a major backlog in cancer referrals and then in treatment, and the problem is, we haven't really got the capacity or workforce to be able to catch up with this. and as this study shows, from a very reputable group, that if we don't do something about it, we will have this problem for a decade. so we need to do something about it, and it's not ok. the report estimates around 19,500 people have not yet been diagnosed with cancer because of missed referrals. diagnostics is a big issue, with the pandemic leading to a 37% drop in endoscopies, 25% drop in mri scans and 10% fewer ct scans than expected. nhs england says cancer services have now returned to pre—pandemic levels, but the report says if the health service was able to improve that performance by 5%, the backlog would still not be cleared until 2033. and the authors warn that without a big investment in equipment and staff, thousands of people will be left waiting for a diagnosis and treatment. dominic hughes, bbc news. and some newsjust and some news just coming and some newsjust coming into and some news just coming into us and some newsjust coming into us in the last few seconds on the sabina nessa investigation in southeast london. a38—year—old man arrested in connection with the murder has now been released, we are being told, under investigation. the men had been arrested on thursday, the 23rd of september, at an address in lewisham. police are appealing for information on another man caught on cctv. there is that vigil, with people in their local area, to pay their respects to her. the main candidates to be german chancellor have clashed over the future direction of the eu and how to deal with china. in a final debate, ahead of sunday's election, they discussed climate change, affordable housing and how to defend the country from outside interference. the election marks the end of angela merkel�*s long reign as chancellor. our correspondent in berlin, damien mcguinness, watched the final debate. this debate was a final chance for party leaders to win over voters. topics ranged from affordable housing and the national debt to climate change and how to deal with china. the current leader in the polls is olaf scholz, the centreleft social democrat to replace angela merkel. when asked about the new aukus security pact between the uk, australia and the us, mr scholz said germany should work together with france to create a stronger europe. "i can understand the irritation that france felt about how the defence pact was worked out," he said. his conservative rival, armin laschet, who is lagging behind slightly in the polls, said that europe needed to act independently and cited the american withdrawal from afghanistan. "we need common european defence projects for when the us pulls back," he said. this election campaign has been unusual in many ways. the polls have been erratic, there are more swing voters than ever before and unprecedented numbers are undecided. in one poll, 40% of people say they still haven't made their minds up. whoever they do choose, though, it's likely that after the elections, coalition talks will be long and complicated. all of this means that this is one of the most unpredictable elections modern germany has ever known.
