have narrowed the gap perhaps the outgoing chancellor who vowed to avoid the election campaign has been at his side in recent days. the future government must provide wealth, security and peace and that is where we stand for. germany's green party will most likely take their place. they had hoped for better and climate change is a big election issue here. but they could end up in a coalition

left to form a coalition government and many combinations are technically possible, but politically tricky to negotiate. that means it can be weeks, if not months before this country gets a new government and angela merkel steps aside for a new german chancellor. will be bringing you live results and analysis and are german elections news on sunday. do join ross atkins and his guests and berlin from 1530 as germans vote to decide who is going to succeed angela merkel. the uk government is responding to the shortage of lori drivers by setting out on sunday, due of the visa scheme, making it easierforforeign nationals due of the visa scheme, making it easier for foreign nationals to take up easier for foreign nationals to take up thejobs was easier for foreign nationals to take up the jobs was the becomes of your problems and supply chain and many petrol and diesel billing stations ran dry and the visa scheme to bring around 5000 drivers but the industry itself says that they actually need 100,000. people have been told not to panic buy, there is no shortage of fuel itself but again today motorists were queueing at petrol stations. in some areas, there has been traffic chaos as a result. petrol is on zero, i am not going to make it, people have half a tank and they are going in there to fill out. it is ridiculous. i am on a red and i need to get petrol as soon as possible. eg group which operates 400 sites has set a £30 per customer limit. the initial problems experienced by bp were due to not having enough lorry drivers, a wider pre—existing issue that has worsened during the pandemic and following brexit. four months, the government resisted calls from freight and retail groups to introduce temporary visas for foreign drivers but it is now expected to announce a scheme tomorrow with 5000 visas available, they will also be a raft of longer—term measures. haulage firms welcome anything that might ease the pressure but say there is no silver bullet. i do think this will be helpful and i hope it will be helpful. 5000 doesn't seem a lot when you are talking of deficits of 90,000 by the short but hopefully that will be reflected on forecourts and on shelves and sort of helped relieve the burden of it. with this visa, do you think there are thousands of foreign drivers who will now want to come and work in the uk? i'd like to hope that they do. what you've got to realise is that all european countries have actually got a driver shortage. other sectors have also find it hard to find enough workers, the business group the cbi said a more proactive approach was needed so the economy but that recovery was insightful. we've got labour shortages notjust in hgv drivers but across the economy, we have supply chain problems, energy problems. we need the government to grip these things and get ahead of them rather than behind them. the question now is how many drivers from overseas will apply for a visa and how quickly businesses just want things to improve before the crucial christmas period. breaking news concerning a very important for many boxing match that is taking place today. anthony joshua has lost his wba,

have been unable to contain the insurgency which is spread to neighbouring tenure. islamist militia groups isjust spread to neighbouring tenure. islamist militia groups is just one of many problems, there are other forms of violence, including rival politicians, droughts, locusts and floods. some say politicians are so preoccupied with a much delayed election process that they have taken their eyes off the countries urgent security and humanitarian challenges. the leader of the main opposition leader party, he has had to ease back on some of his plans to change the voting rules for future leadership elections. but the remaining proposals are likely to spark a confrontation with the left wing of his party. from brighton on the south coast of england, where they are holding their annual conference, here's a uk political correspondent and his report does contain some flashing images. it wasn't an ideal start to the party conference, keir starmer wanted to attack the conservatives. this government is letting people down so badly. but under attack from some in his own party, he was to ditch plans to reduce the role of rank and file any future leadership elections and further rows could overshadow more positive policies aimed at the wider public. the focus was supposed to be on workers' rights and not his members rights. the deputy leader angela rayner gave an crowd—pleasing speech about workers' rights. some things are not negotiable so labour in power will give all workers' rights from day one in theirjobs, sick pay, holiday pay, parental leave and protection against unfair dismissal. but most of the action took place not in the conference floor but behind closed doors. keir starmer has come out of a meeting where he has had to discuss his party reforms, he has had to drop some of his ideas but a significant number will still go ahead and at the conference that is sure to annoy the left wing. this might sound very procedural but it is also highly political. if the rules had been in place during the last leadership election, there would have been only one candidate. and in the previous contest, jeremy corbyn wouldn't have gotten on the ballot. get organising in every single way that we possibly can. there would have been only one candidate. and in the previous contest, jeremy corbyn wouldn't have gotten on the ballot. that is why the party but lack left will vote if you're in a zero—hours contract, are you really very interested in a party that is more interested in talking about how it might or might not elect the leaders in the future? if you can see off the left, he could be seen as decisive, but in the process, he will be highlighting his parties divisions. to afghanistan, the key moments in the fight for kabul, it was when the taliban freed thousands of prisoners from their main jail. taliban freed thousands of prisoners from their mainjail. some of taliban freed thousands of prisoners from their main jail. some of those prisoners have become caretakers of the prison itself. jeremy was given access behind the taliban to their former cell—mates in the jail. the guards ran through their lives to the jail as the taliban advanced on kabul. now, the jail is empty and when the taliban reached it, the freed not only does their own men but criminals and supporters of their rival islamic state. some of their rival islamic state. some of the taliban here in our caretakers at the cells where they spent years as prisoners. so, this is part of the main taliban cell block and you can see, they made themselves very comfortable and very cold in the winter. in these spaces had to be rented from the authorities for quite a lot of money. $100 or something like that. the taliban and have been talking to some the guys were former inmates and they ran their own affairs, trying to keep some cohesion and sometimes this at the prison authorities spreading criminals or people with big drug addictions and they say that they tried to talk them out of it. there was also a lot of heroin for sale within the prison and a great deal of corruption as well. they took me to where she was chained and tortured in ten years behind bars. hejoined the taliban tortured in ten years behind bars. he joined the taliban after a raid on his village. he keeps photos of his whipped back. they attacked us in two children. all the muslims are suffering. i saw with my own eyes. they came to my house, they took my holy books and threw them away. muscle cannot accept what they've done. they were afghan commandos and us forces. the taliban themselves have inflicted savage violence on civilians as well as men in uniform. there is a long history of guerrilla and insurgent movements, strengthening their ties as a unit during long spells of imprisonment, giving them a stronger identity, perhaps as well, a stronger will to win and that, i suspect is what is happening here. prisoners were sometimes killed at the jail, read

about the way they want to rule afghanistan. the prime minister of haiti has told the united nations that people from his country will continue to try to seek better living conditions for their

lexis who is studying the volcano, sent us this update. the situation. — volcano, sent us this update. the situation. as _ volcano, sent us this update. the situation, as you _ volcano, sent us this update. tue: situation, as you can volcano, sent us this update. t'te: situation, as you can see, volcano, sent us this update. tt9: situation, as you can see, we volcano, sent us this update. tt9 situation, as you can see, we have an ongoing corruption and it's in different phases of the day and so, sometimes, the intensity of the eruption means that the amount of this increases and then, it comes down but then it decreases again. at the moment, we have an increasing phase and in fact, the event has opened up and is admitting quite a lot of lava and that is a new event that opened up yesterday but it is had some, quite a placid kind of behaviour. at the moment, just now, suddenly, after a big noise, this new, as more explosive behaviour and it is admitting a lot of lava at the moment. we have two main vents at the top of the volcano and one corruption that is ongoing at the moment. if the eruption continues, as it appears to be the case, most likely, the lava flow will continue advancing and more damage is going to happen. the main lava flow, the lava flow that was admitted at the beginning, it has flown down the hill and it has a couple of kilometres because the area, it is kind of stopped and the problem is, now, it is turning sideways. and it may affect areas that previously were not thought to be affected if were not thought to be affected if we consider the main trajectory of the lava. so, yeah. this isjust more damage to be suspected because this eruption is ongoing and it doesn't seem to be decreasing an intensity. taking you back to la palma, live from the volcano. shock waves also concerning people as it builds up in these areas. the shock waves can be felt, the cone of the volcano has broken and it really is intense and it was last active back in 1971, but the intensity is increasing and it began erupting on the 19th of september. just to remind you that anthonyjoshua has lost his three titles. more on that shortly. we are going to be taking a look at the papers in a moment. but the guest joining me tonight is nigel nelson and joe phillips. stay with us for that and that is coming up in four minutes and to get us there, here's the weather. hello there. part two of the weekend looks sunday are generally the movie had on saturday because more of a breeze around to break up the cloud. a dry and largely warm day for the place where there will be rain arriving in the west later on. this cold front will have a change minded with much cooler here behind it in a warm muqqy cooler here behind it in a warm muggy air mass in that cold front spreads across the country with a band of rain winds and opens the floodgates to something much more autumnalfor floodgates to something much more autumnal for the upcoming week. this week, we're looking at temperatures in the low 20s for many of us, to next week, we are generally around the mid to high teens. a bit closer to the weatherfor the the mid to high teens. a bit closer to the weather for the time of year but even a little below average. so, for sunday we start off in a dry note with variable clouds, some good spots ascension, chance of where two showers across the midlands and the southeast and otherwise misplaces dry and we see friends pushing it in northern ireland and was in scotland bringing in some heavy rain and strong winds and temperatures in the mid to high teens in eastern scotland much of england and wales are very warm day for the time of year. after sunday night, that band of clouds and rain slowly edges its way eastwards in heavy rain is audited and some squirrel he winds too. but for much of eastern england it should say dry and feeling cooler with some blustery showers. from monday morning, could be plenty to do my pretty atrocious with this band of heavy rain spreading eastwards and eventually, they will clear the coast but monday afternoon does not look too bad, plenty of showers across western areas and blustery, and it will be cooler with temperatures from 13 to 15 , a little bit close to the seasonal average. and to stay, because of this other feature from the southwest around our area of low pressure and other could start fine and read across much of scotland and england and wales, it will turn cloudier and better across northern areas through the day and be quite heavyin areas through the day and be quite heavy in persistent with that particularly going coast to coast and it will be dried to the day and i was across eastern areas before the rain starts and. it remains very unsettled, very autumnal strong winds with spells of rain followed by sunshine and showers. hello, this is bbc news. in a moment we will be taking you through it sunday morning because of the papers, guests are nigel nelson and jo phillips. let's look at the headlines first. cues continue at petrol stations as the government prepares to announce a temporary visa scheme to make it easier for foreign lorry drivers to work in the
