just a message. do you think you will be sitting next to borisjohnson soon, sir? although the social democrat candidate says he should lead the next coalition. translation: it's certainly going i to be a long night but it's also l certain that many german citizens voted social democrat because they want a change in government and they want their next chancellor to be called olaf schultz. at the conservative headquarters, less happy faces. disappointment that angela merkel�*s party had not done better. yet the cdu candidate, who wants to succeed her as chancellor, argued he could still run the country. translation: we had 16 years l in germany with angela merkel as chancellor and this is why we will try everything to form a government under the leadership of the cdu/csu union. we were warned it would be a long, long night and it certainly proved to be that way. with every hour that's passed and more results have come in, they've grown in optimism here at the social democrats headquarters. but they know the next phase ahead will not be straightforward. after 16 years of merkel, germans have sent a message at the ballot box. the trouble is it's not exactly clear what it was and what it will mean for the country and further afield. nick beake, bbc news, berlin. strictly come dancing contestant tom fletcher has tested positive for covid. he and his partner will not be able to perform for ten days. they are expected back following weekend. they were brilliant at the weekend, when they?

"we are seriously concerned about what lies ahead in the coming months" — that's the message from the head of the body representing intensive care staff across the uk. so we've been taking a look behind the scenes at the pressures icu wards are facing ahead approaching the winter — with doctors urging people to get covid vaccinations and book in for their booster jabs. phil mccann reports. on the top floor of the royal preston hospital is the ward that is most likely to deal with covid patients — the respiratory ward. and dr munavvar is in charge. he and his team go to the constant on and off of ppe, to see their covid patients. in what they call the red rooms. how have you been in the last few days? last few days? i've been constantly being sick and can't keep nothing down. today is the first time i have eaten and kept a sandwich down for, oh, god, five or six days. in these rooms, they're seeing a growing number of older patients who had both of their covid jabs. likejean. she was vaccinated in april. and i think if i hadn't had it, well, oh, god, i think i would be dead by now. oh, dear. i think, come on, breathe. i did honestly, when my son rang the ambulance to come in, i didn't think i was going to come out. and thank goodness, i'm on the mend, i am coming out. you have got to have the jab, you have got to get all sorted. thinking back, how do you think you were when you were in the hospital? on death's door. i thought i wasn't going to make it. next tojean was lorraine, she wasn't vaccinated at all. i was in a hood for five days and nights. which gave me the oxygen. went down with it on the slst after getting it, after my husband, he wasn't so bad, he wasn'tjabbed, but we both plan to get jabbed now. at the worst point, what was your condition like? near death. just kept going round, kept coming round. i didn't know if it was going to carry on and which way it was going to tip. couldn't eat, couldn't drink. now? perfect, perfect, thank you. lorraine wasn't anti—vaccine, she just didn't think she'd need one. ijust sat on the fence, really, i felt quite confident that i was strong. mobile, i was active, and fit and healthy, don't smoke, don't drink. and it can hit anyone. the doctor can see a clear difference between lorraine and jean. jean has had both the jabs, it has not affected her lungs, and her oxygen levels did not drop. so she's not requiring oxygen, as opposed to lorraine, who has not had the jab, and therefore required oxygen for quite some time, she needed to go into the intensive care unit, she had, as she mentioned, the cpap hood. so that's the difference, when people have had the jabs. for dr munavvar, the boosterjabs that are being offered to the over 50s should mean she sees fewer people likejean in the red rooms whose vaccine protection is waning after six months. what kind of difference will it make here? i think going forward it will make a massive difference. especially because we have the flu season coming up, we have winter, and if the protection from the initial two doses right —— were to wane, as predicted, as shown by the scientific evidence coming through, then the booster jabs are going to be extremely important. at the moment, every bed in this hospital is full. and the expectation is that over the coming weeks, more and more people are going to start being admitted with all of the normal, non—covid winter related respiratory issues and that is why the boosterjab is being viewed as so important here. they need to cut the number of covid patients to make room for everyone else. we have had had a few respiratory patients this morning which need reviewed. we have some significant pressures with some covid patients. we have 3a beds here. we have some side rooms here. you can see the red signs indicating these are covid patients. they split their rooms into red, blue and green. red for people who definitely have covid, blue for people who might and down here, green for everyone else with things like lung cancer, pneumonia and emphysema. what has happened because of covid is increasingly, we have had to use most of these beds for covid—related illnesses therefore leaving us a very limited number of beds for those patients who do not have covid but have other pressing respiratory issues. lung problems. by far the biggest problem in this ward at the moment is people who, like lorraine, are completely unvaccinated. the younger unvaccinated people, they are the ones who are coming in and becoming very seriously ill. even though they are younger? younger, fitter, no medical conditions, they are coming in and very seriously ill, and that's the crucial point. but the boosterjab for those already vaccinated will make a difference. notjust this ward, but of course to people likejean. ijust don't like to land up with, well, i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. ijust don't want to land up with this again. because i think if i do, i ain't going to come through it. an incredible piece. we are going to be talking more about pressures on the nhs as we head into winter. that is coming up later in the programme. our medical editor will be talking about where we are at the minute and some of the concerns over the course of the next fume and. —— few months. let's take a look at today's papers. the fuel problems feature on almost all the front pages, with many reporting that the army could be used to deliver supplies to petrol stations. the guardian says that hundreds of soldiers could be called upon following panic buying across the country. the daily mirror labels the petrol pump chaos a "shambles" and suggests the fuel delivery shortage could last for 10 days. the daily telegraph has more details on the plan, known as �*operation escalin', which would see the government's reserve fleet of petrol tankers released. the paper adds that, between 1,500 and 2,000 filling stations are estimated to have run out of at least one type of fuel. the times reports that senior government sources suggest it could take two weeks before temporary visas are issued to foreign hgv drivers — as a result the paper says it is "highly likely" the army will start work on fuel deliveries in the next few days. one story from inside the papers, this is really mad. we are talking about a story, strictly, which you are in. this is tom and amy, who tested positive. essentially everyone who works on the entire production gets tested every week. sadly tom and amy both tested positive for coronavirus. that was them dancing saturday night, feeling 0k. them dancing saturday night, feeling ok. late saturday, early sunday. now they will spend ten days in isolation. they will miss next week and hopefully they will come back week after that. lots of people are saying about what is it like working on that programme? how do the regulations work estimate to be totally honest with you, it is the most strict environment i had been in in the last vehemence. tom and amy, of all the couples, everyone takes great care. they take more care than everyone else. amy has crohn's disease. she was at the end of a flight of stairs and i was at the other. we were both wearing face coverings. there is great care taken. every member of the production team wears a face covering. the only time we do not is when we are on telly, on set. social distancing, they are really keen when you cross corridors one person goes to one side. in the studio area, everyone is really careful. there are great measures taken to make sure social distancing is maintained. the most important thing is we saw from saturday night for everybody involved is the show keeps going because it isjustjoyful. it was lovely to be part of it. i never knew you could sing as well as dance. i said to nadiya, i wasjust going to go for it. shall we have a lurk? have you watched it back? i have not. i have seen the clip. look at that face! i told her, i will

essentially i did exactly what she told me today. i would carry on doing more of the same because that obviously works. this is when i made a ridiculously loud noise, shouting my head off. i do not like to over emphasise these things. my 14—year—old daughter and wife were in the audience. susie, my daughter, she is someone who said do not embarrass me. she is 1a, she gets it. when we came back into the studio after the dance, we spoke to claudia and then you go outside. look at your little legs! you do an interview and you talk to social media and stuff. when the big finish. you do all that. you come backin finish. you do all that. you come back in studio after the next dance and sit round the corner. i sat on a chair with nadiya and she said, well done, you did really well. i looked across where tess was and that is where my wife and daughter were sitting. my daughter gave me a lovely way and wasn't his and said, well done, dad! that was a highlight of my life. that is why i decided to do the programme. they led desperate to watch. that was perfect was that the dance was great. that is what it is all about. you have more fans out there. really? more than my man. we had

maximum. feeling cooler than yesterday but still not too bad. getting lower through this week. overnight plenty of clear spells, the risk of one or two showers, staying breezy overnight. minimum temperature is in single figures, eight or 9 c. we have some weather france coming through breezy tomorrow, feeling chilly, a ridge of high pressure builds on wednesday so a dry and sunny day, but the

one, of the crucial role played by lorry drivers. they're in short supply at the moment and the haulage industry is desperate to attract new recruits. so, how hard is it to drive an hgv? we sent tim

their own supporters and a victory that never really seemed in doubt. even before the start, the fans were partying. and while rory mcilroy briefly gave europe something to cheer with an early point, it proved the briefest glimmer of hope. from there, the us swept them aside. wins for patrick cantlay, scottie scheffler and bryson dechambeau took them to the brink of triumph before the winning moment fell to collin morikawa. as the celebrations started, the only question was how much they would win by. and when daniel berger took the final match, the answer was 19—9. europe's biggest ryder cup defeat in history. the us were very strong, they seemed to get everything, they got it right, whatever their plan was, they got it right this week. a strong team, played well, and they kept the momentum and they would have been tough to beat. at the best of times, let alone when they are on top of the world. after so much recent ryder cup success for europe, this has been a chastening experience. but for the american fans here, what a victory. their team came here as favourites and they have certainly delivered. and with a young team, currently dominating the world rankings, they will be hoping this stunning victory is just the start. andy swiss, bbc news, whistling straits. another comprehensive victory went to arsenal in yesterday's north london derby. they beat tottenham 3—1 thanks to goals from emile smith—rowe, pierre—emerick aubameyang and bukayo saka. all three came in the first half — son heung—min pulled one back but it's the gunners who move above their rivals with this win. and how about this for a moment for rauljimenez, who scored for the first time since a life threatening skull fracture in november last year as wolves won 1—0 at southampton — this just his sixth match since returning. celtic�*s troubled start in the scottish premiership continued as they were held to a one all draw at home to dundee united. celtic went ahead through liel abada, but the visitors hit back within two minutes through ian harkes. celtic�*s first dropped points at home leaves them in sixth place. hibernian are up to second after beating stjohnstone and st mirren beat aberdeen. in the women's super league, arsenal are the new league leaders after thumping manchester city 5—0. kim little scored twice to keep up the gunners' 100 per cent start to the season — played three, won three so far. defending champions chelsea are fourth in the early season table after thrashing manchester united 6—1. lewis hamilton is top of the championship standings after winning the russian grand prix. but his triumph in sochi, meant heartache for fellow briton lando norris, who was on the verge of a maiden victory when he slid off in torrential rain. hamilton became the first

germany knows who will succeed angela merkel as chancellor, after a tight election failed to produce a clear winner. merkel�*s christian democratic union party had their worst ever election performance, falling just behind the social democrats we can speak now to the bbc�*s david eades who is in berlin this morning. it was billed as the end of angela merkel but it feels more complicated than that. �* ., , than that. bear with me, it is completed! _ than that. bear with me, it is completed! not _ than that. bear with me, it is completed! not least - than that. bear with me, it is| completed! not least because than that. bear with me, it is i completed! not least because you pointed out, it is their worst result ever in a national election, and yet they are only a point and a half behind the centre—left spd party. so we had the leaders of those two parties, the leader of the spd, olaf scholz, saying, iwill those two parties, the leader of the spd, olaf scholz, saying, i will be the next chancellor. and the leader of the cdu saying, i will be the next chancellor. so they then have to woo the party is next in line, they have to get over the 50% majority. that is the greens and the free democrats, the liberal business minded party had been not get on. four years ago, they failed spectacularly to find some way to work together so they didn't go into government at all. it took the 171 days last time. and that was the two men party come together. so we went into shock of the main parties coming together. there we we going to intense negotiations. so if you are the greens or the democrats, you will be looking for the better deal. most money will be on the spd, the centre—left, leading a government coalition with the greens and the free democrats. but to be honest, it is anyone's guess at the moment. i is anyone's guess at the moment. i know you will be following it closely. i wonder what the results tell us about germany as a nation, does it feel like a divided nation, more so than before, what picture can you face? == more so than before, what picture can you face?— more so than before, what picture can you face? -- can you paint? one ofthe can you

can you paint? one of the interesting things has been i of the interesting things has been the build—up of the sense of a country which is looking for change and continuity. that's a difficult square to circle in but they could have that. it means there would not be anything terribly radical happening, but olaf scholz, the spd, centre—left, so he is not angela merkel�*s side of the fence, he is nonetheless at the moment in government, he is the finance minister. his vision is to say, though for me, you get stable continuous government we have had for many years under angela merkel but aceh different way, he has been the very sober growing up in the room in the election campaign. we are not looking at a huge departure from the past. there could be some changes in some areas of policy but you would be unlikely to find anything dramatic. one of the features of coalition government is to get there, you have to compromise, and the more compromised you reach, the more diluted any idea of a radical change would be. appreciate your time, thank you. speaking to us live from berlin. let's go to the weather now. good morning. low pressure will be driving our weather so things will be rather unsettled this week. the exception is on wednesday where we have a ridge of high pressure coming across as, so things will be drier. generally this week, cooler than last week of the weekend, and we will see spells of rain and at times it will be fairly blustery. yesterday this weather front, a cold front, started to show its hand, bringing rain into the west. it scoots across us and behind it you will find it introduces cooler air. here is the rain, clearing eastern areas, by the time we get to lunchtime, it will be clearing but hanging on in the northern isles. there will be squally winds around that band of rain. and some torrential downpours at times as well. behind it, sent on showers, blustery notjust in the west but towards the east. temperatures three towards the east. temperatures three to 7 lowerthan towards the east. temperatures three to 7 lower than yesterday, but in the far north of scotland, we could see 10 lower than yesterday. the far north of scotland, we could see 10 lowerthan yesterday. it will feel cooler. this evening and overnight, clearskies will feel cooler. this evening and overnight, clear skies and overnight, clear skies and overnight, showers, heavy and prolonged with some risk of thunder. by prolonged with some risk of thunder. by the end of the night, we will be starting to see a new clutch of france coming our way, bringing further showers into the south—west. cooler for most of us then it has been. here is the clutch of fronts, bringing in rain, pushing northward and eastward, it will be another blustery day and some of the showers and rain will not be heavy but thundery. we start off on a relatively mild start with some sunshine. showers continuing, and then longer spells of rain, pushing north and east. blustery wind around them. in between in the sunshine, temperatures between 11 and 18. tuesday night, the rain eventually pushes towards the east, and here is the ridge of high pressure which will be with us through wednesday, settling things down with a few showers in the west. thank you, talk to you just after seven am. quite significant this week. after 18 months, the government scheme to help support the wages of people whose jobs have been impacted by the pandemic ends this week. nina's here, and she's taking a look back at furlough for us. it has been huge, i was thinking about when the chance of used the word filo, last march, what does that mean? —— when the chancellor first used the word furlough. they now say it is time to rip off the plaster and see how people get on. some industries say it is way too soon, they cannot cope alone just yet. when the chancellor first announced the scheme at the beginning of the pandemic, he said he would do whatever it takes to save jobs and protect the economy. and the biggest and by far the most expensive scheme was furlough. the coronavirus job retention scheme was a way of topping up wages in order to prevent mass unemployment, and the scheme has been tapering off for a while and it finally ended for good on thursday. has it been a success? is it being withdrawn too soon? i have been taking a look at the biggest government intervention in the economy since the war. it's the start of a pretty momentous week. after a year and a half, the furlough scheme finally comes to an end. at its peak, around 9,000,000 people, that's about a 3rd of the uk workforce, were having their wages paid or topped up by government. that has never happened before. for the government and the taxpayer, supporting jobs costs money. around £60,000,000,000 at the last count. now that is around half of the entire budget for the nhs for the whole of the uk. the economy is opening back up, why are there so many calls to extend the scheme? so manyjobs are still reliant on it, in aviation, travel, events, the arts. things are not back to normal for everyone. it varies week to week. talking last month, the airport was like a ghost town. never ever see anything like that in the nine years i've been there. now when people are double jabbed, it got a little bit easier. you know, as restrictions are being lifted, we are getting a bit more consumer confidence back at the airport. so we just have to wait and see now whether everybody has abandoned the plans for going away or there's going to be a resurgence. when furlough ends, ian will be back as a driver at manchester airport but on just 90% of his normal wage. but unlike many he's kept his job. the furlough scheme for me is a bit likejekyll and hyde. in one way it's been really good, i've kept myjob. in another way it's given too much home time. you know, when you spend too much time at home, it's not all that clever. for me personally i found keeping myjob has been quite good. mental health wise, in lockdown, we were suffering, i was suffering. and it's notjust furlough. on the same day, a special lower vat rate for tourism and hospitality will also go. the stamp duty holiday ends, too. next week, the millions of people on universal credit will begin to see benefit payments cut. for those left out or excluded from the main support schemes, this has been their only lifeline. most people who receive the £20 a week in universal credit are already in work. of the rest, many of those who cannot work are not expected to work because they are caring for their family or they are caring for someone in their family who is disabled or they are ill at the moment and they can't work temporarily. the idea thatjust because there are more jobs and there are vacancies, we won't need the £20 per week is really wrong. actually it's much more of a long—term conversation about how adequate we want our social security system to be in this country. without furlough, what happens next? for businesses, for unemployment, for poverty, for the prospects of young people? in the next week, we begin to find out. so, the government response, what have i said? they have said it would never be forever, it would come to an end but things are not returning to normalfor an end but things are not returning to normal for everyone. an end but things are not returning to normalfor everyone. ian who worked in aviation said it is a difficult time. and it is a difficult time. and it is a difficult time. and it is a difficult time because household bills are rocketing, utility and food prices going up and 6,000,000 families are about to be affected by the end of the uplift of universal credit. the government have also said there are lots ofjob vacancies out there at the moment and they are but they are not necessarily in the areas where there are skills or geographically in the right location. even the most conservative estimates say that as the scheme ends, towards the end of the week, there are 1,000,000 people still on it, 100,000 people of thosejobs will not exist without this artificial support. so a big warning that unemployment will go up at a difficult time for millions of families. as ever, great to get the audience's experience of this, we would love to hear from you, are you still on the furlough scheme? maybe you run a business and you are heavily dependent on it or maybe you think it has gone on for far heavily dependent on it or maybe you think it has gone on forfar enough? it has cost 70,000,000,000, so it is time to stop it?— time to stop

feeling cooler than yesterday but still not too bad. getting lower through this week. overnight plenty of clear spells, the risk of one or two showers, staying breezy overnight. minimum temperature is

behind it a return to sunshine and showers but still early blustery. details later in the programme. it's monday september the 27th. our top story. soldiers could be drafted in to drive petrol tankers after three days of panic buying coupled with a shortage of drivers has caused pumps to run dry. government ministers are expected to meet today to discuss the proposal. they've already suspended oil industry competition laws to allow suppliers to work together. our business correspondent katy austin has the latest. these were the scenes yesterday as panic buying led to some forecourts having to close. people are going a bit nuts. it's 6am in the morning and people are queueing up for petrol. i've got two to three hours work and about 20 miles. so i don't what i'm going to do. it's really frustrating. i am a driver and without petrol, of course, you cannot move. i a group that speaks for more than 5,000 independent fuel retailers said the impact had been severe. there's a large number, more than half, which already run dry and those others are running dry quite quickly. companies involved in the supply of fuel say a spike in demand is the problem, not any shortage of petrol ot diesel. but they met the business secretary yesterday, who agreed to temporarily relax competition laws so that in these circumstances the industry can better share information and prioritise the delivery of supplies to where they're most needed. the government is considering deploying the army to help with deliveries and it is understood that option is under discussion ahead of a possible meeting of cabinet ministers. the first limited supply issues were down to a lack of tanker drivers, that's highlighted a wider lorry driver shortage, a long—standing problem that's got worse. over the weekend, the government announced new measures aimed at tackling it, including 5,000 temporary visas, so drivers can come in from overseas in the run—up to christmas. haulage and business groups welcomed any help but some argued the announcement did not go far enough. supermarkets say they need 15,000 lorry drivers to avoid disruption in the festive season. labour will focus on economic issues at its annual conference in brighton today with a promise to scrap business rates in england. the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, says the plan would be fairer to struggling high street retailers. let's speak now to our chief political correspondent, adam fleming, who is in brighton for us this morning. adam, how has this decision gone down? yes, the cbi that represents big businesses and the federation of small businesses say they are really pleased that labour is looking into this because they have been calling for a reform of these taxes for a very long time. what a labour government would do in the first year as give a discount too small businesses on business rates and at the same time increase taxes on digital companies to make a lot of money from them while they were developing a new system. the principles of that system would be less tax on bricks and mortar shops on the high street and more tax on big businesses, especially online. the details are still to be worked out. we are talking a lot of money. it raises £30,000,000,000 a year, so it is not peanuts. what rachel reeves will look at his every single tax break in the system, all the tax reliefs, which if you add them up to get a chance for the same budget as the nhs. labour has said it will look at each one to work out if it is value for money for the taxpayer and is it fairfor people? that is what they will be talking about today. yesterday the discussion was about big changes to the internal labour party rule book. it sounds dull but is quite important. it will be harderfor mps to get dull but is quite important. it will be harder for mps to get on the ballot if there is a leadership contest in future and much harder for local constituency labour parties to get rid of their mps or candidates before an election and replace them with something else. package of technical sounding rules has been designed by keir starmer to make sure that people likejeremy corbin

greatest of all time. despite the defeat, an emotional rory mcilroy said the ryder cup was the biggest tournament in the game, and he couldn't wait to have another shot at it. iam glad i puta point on the board for europe today. i cannot wait to get another shot at this. take yourtime. it is by far the best experience in golf and i hope boys and girls watching this today aspire to play in this event or the solheim cup, because there is nothing better. it is hard to watch but it is brilliant, isn't it? watching how much he cares about it, boys and girls probably will be inspired. remember

. as we head on into wednesday, something a bit more settled comes our way with more of us seeing some sunshine. nice to speak to you. "the biggest overhaul of business taxation in a generation" that's what labour is promising as it lays out plans to cut business rates in england and then phase them out completely. but how exactly would it work and more importantly, who would pay for it? let's put those questions to the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, who joins us from the party's annual conference in brighton. good morning to you. great to see you this morning. a big day for you today at the conference. tammy festival, how are you going to persuade the public to trust the labour party with their money? —— tell me first

i have to do i tell me first of all. it is the most important job i have to do to i tell me first of all. it is the most i important job i have to do to ensure importantjob i have to do to ensure people can trust me with the money stop i know how hard people work for the money and how carefully they look after it. when they pay taxes, they need to know as chancellor i would share the same respect for their money as they show for their own money. i also have huge respect for public services. every pound of taxpayer money wasted as many not going into front—line services, schools, hospitals and police. i would use every pound of taxpayers money well. i would crack down on some of the waste we have seen from the tory government with more and more money being spent on outsourcing contracts, many of which are not delivering. that is in a bottom part of myjob and i will be talking more about that in my speech as well as my plan to cut business rates next year and to abolish them completely, to ensure high streets and small businesses can thrive and some of the biggest companies, particularly online businesses are paying their fair share of taxes. it paying their fair share of taxes. it does provide money for streetlights and public places. how would you fund those services if you are not getting business rates money? it is getting business rates money? it is about getting business rates money? it 3 about levelling the playing field with taxation. we had a situation where another six months of this year, 50 high st shops were closing every day. four out of five businesses say if the increase in businesses say if the increase in business rates goes ahead next spring they will have to consider closing outlets. that is no good for the economy and no good for bringing in taxation needed for the essential things. at the same time we had many businesses which have had a good time these past 18 months because of the ways things have changed with shopping and living lives. i am putting forward a proposal to freeze business rates next year and increase the threshold for small business rates relief by giving relief to hundreds of thousands of small and medium—sized businesses and high street businesses as well. we would pay for that by increasing for a one off the digital services tax which already exist which asks online businesses to pay a bit more after the year and a half a lap and with increased revenues and increased profits. == with increased revenues and increased profits.— with increased revenues and increased profits. with increased revenues and increased rofits. , ., ., increased profits. -- they have had. you keep talking — increased profits. -- they have had. you keep talking about _ increased profits. -- they have had. you keep talking about next - increased profits. -- they have had. you keep talking about next year. i increased profits. -- they have had. | you keep talking about next year. do you expect to be in power next year? that is what we would do. we know the problems go deeper than that. labour in government would abolish business rates altogether. to ensure high streets can thrive. the system replacing it would ensure that it would help struggling small businesses but ask bigger businesses, who are doing very well, to pay more in tax. we had a situation at the moment where a third of business rates are paid by high street businesses even though they only represent 15% of the economy. they are being overtaxed. we want to level the playing field. president biden has imposed a global minimum rate of corporation tax. if that comes in, it would bring in billions of pounds to help ease the burden on our struggling small businesses and high streets while asking those with the broader shoulders to pay more. that is fair and would ensure we have thriving communities across the country. if communities across the country. if that comes in, your idea of a digital services tax will not work. absolutely. that is why the digital services tax is the one year only to sort out his problems in the short run before the more fundamental reform labour would introduce of scrapping interest rates entirely and using some of the many from the global minimum rate of corporation tax to ease the burden on struggling high street companies and small businesses. in high street companies and small businesses-—

only people raising taxes on ordinary working people are the tory government, who are increasing national insurance next year, which is a jobs tax, tax on ordinary working families and a tax on businesses. that is not the approach of labour. we would ask theirs with the broader shoulders, but those who get income is not from going to work back from stocks and shares and buy to let

looking at what works for taxpayers and the economy. where it means common ownership but like some of the rail services have come into public ownership, that is the right thing to do. i would always

the volcanic eruption eight days ago. the church in the village of todoque is one of 400 buildings destroyed so far and the volcano is now entering a new explosive phase. alexis schwartz is a volcanologist, who is monitoring developments on la palma. he joins us now along with sharon backhouse, who runs a company which organises field trips to the island. thank you forjoining us. give us an idea. we have been following this for days. what is the latest? what is the situation now on the island? the situation at the moment is concern about the flow of lava, which may reach the sea. it stopped the last few days because it reached a playing area, a flat area. there has been a continuous eruption, emitting very fluid lava. this is probably going to reach the sea. there is concern about the interaction between a lava flow and the sea water because of the rapid nature. this may produce plumes of water vapour which will rise into the atmosphere and the concern is the atmosphere and the concern is the content, the possible content of some gases, like sulphur or chlorine gases that may be inside these clouds. obviously, the concentration of these gases in this plume will be higher, very close to the coast, and then the winds will disperse the high concentration. there is also some possible steam explosions but will be locally as well. i some possible steam explosions but

how long it will go on for? what techniques can you use to say what we're seeing at the moment and how long it will be sustained and what will happen in of the flow? that what will happen in of the flow? git the moment there are not accurate techniques that can say how long an eruption will happen. that is the reality. regarding prediction of eruptions, you would think seismic activity information is crucial to tell us whether an eruption will take place or not. when it starts, it is difficult to determine at least at present how long the eruption will last and what the intensity of the eruption will be. it is an evolving process. so far all we see is the typical eruption with increases in energy of the eruption. i am afraid we cannot really calculate by any means for the

because the key aim to be here in la palma at the moment is to try and provide context. we train companies. we had been in tenerife with young students from the united states, canada, the uk. we have been training them in science communication because often there is disconnect what scientists say and what is shown on the media. what is evident is sometimes scientist might put out information which then is perhaps exaggerated or is not accurately reported in the right context. what we have been doing is having live feeds with the three students we have got here. they have been doing a fantasticjob, doing their own transmissions. every night we have a live feed and we are trying to put context around the science that has been happening. we are trying to say this is the science and this is the implication. all the big media companies are here at the moment. there is a lot of attention in la palma. in perhaps a few days' time, everyone will go and people will still be here trying to deal with the aftermath. a lot of promises are being made to the people of la palma. a lot of money, a lot of politicians, a lot of smiles and handshakes. we want to see whether the help arise. we

waiting on the vocals for delivery lorries to arrive. there are further petrol stations that are open which have pressure. many drivers here have been queueing up many drivers here have been queueing up for hours evidences petrol station opened in sethe —— north of london at 6.30 am. many of the drivers i spoke to say they are frustrated at the situation, even reports that the army might get involved to help with petrol deliveries up and down the country. at today, this station is open, but many others have got tanks which have run dry. thousands of patients at hospitals in north west london have been waiting more than a year for treatment. the exact figure was close to 4000 with some patients waiting longer than two years to be treated. the north west london integrated care system covers hospitals including chelsea and westminster and hillingdon. it claims to have "slashed its backlog" although it does admit to longer waits for those needing cancer care. a student is preparing to run the london marathon alongside the man who saved her life 13 years ago. 21—year—old vicky lawrence had a nearfatal auto—immune disorder as a child and was put on the antony nolan bone marrow

the chaos at the petrol pumps, this caused by panic buying and a lack of tanker drivers. the problems are already having a serious impact on jobs and livelihoods. we can hear now from just a couple of the thousands of people who have been affected. i am a student paramedic, i'm currently in my last six months of training and on friday, while on shift with my colleague, we had to go to five different petrol stations to try and get diesel for our truck when we already had an extremely busy day and we were doing such a high amount of mileage that day to keep up with demand. we were having such a high level of stress and anxiety to our day to try and factor in other petrol stations we could go to except where our fuel cards are accepted and eventually we did find one, we were allowed to use the lorry pumps and they were the only ones doing diesel at the time. i had to pull out the gig in bristol because i had an empty tank in all of the tanks near me were out of diesel. . , of the

question on i to you elizabeth. the question on many of our view is that this morning, who have been finding it difficult to buy petrol and diesel, how long it is going to go on for and how is it sorted? there are two aspects to it. the shorter term panic buying, if we go back to our normal amounts, and almost relax our behaviour and bring it back, to normal, then that can come down quite quickly. in terms of the hgv driver shortage, quite quickly. in terms of the hgv drivershortage, our quite quickly. in terms of the hgv driver shortage, our estimates were that it would take really until spring of next year to manage to recruit enough drivers to the industry, from those who were lost during the covid crisis when testing was closed down. over the weekend, the government announced an increase in testing capacity, an increase in the option that we had for the first time of visas, and an increase in training budget with free driver training. that will take a while to filter through the system. but we will be focusing on this week and getting then up and running as quickly as possible. there are some short measures that others are longer term, to increase the numbers of drivers that we have recruited. do you think you need to make it a more attractive job? we do you think you need to make it a more attractivejob? we have do you think you need to make it a more

levers which elizabeth has outlined. and there are others, such as we understand that the driver and vehicle licensing agency in swansea, which is under the responsibility of grant shapps at the department of transport, they have had a very poor pandemic. they have had a strike, they have had work from home, and their performance has been lamentable. we understand there are as many as 40,000 hgv driver applications sitting on the desks in swansea, waiting to be processed. that is just ridiculous. and that's just one of many issues that have arisen to create the driver shortage we have today. i wonder if grant shapps has ever been to swansea? he ought to be down there, making sure that the management is on top of this, and that these applications get processed. we have had yesterday at the government meeting, we heard that some of the hauliers are desperate to get their drivers back on the road, because of the strict medical requirements, they have had to submit details to swansea and there is a lack of processing. {line there is a lack of processing. one ruestion there is a lack of processing. one question people _ there is a lack of processing. one question people

if they start buying in their normal quantities, £20, 20 litres, to fill up quantities, £20, 20 litres, to fill up every week, we could see by the end of this week some return to normality. it won't be perfect, but some return. but if they keep buying and buying a tanker load full, there is no chance. with 36,000,000 vehicles on the road, and two billion of storage, that is far more than the industry can cope with. thank you very much for your time, elizabeth dejong, and by medicine. —— brian maddison. he elizabeth dejong, and by medicine. -- brian maddison.— -- brian maddison. he said by

andy swiss reports from whistling straits. a day of american delight. a record win in front of their own supporters and a victory that never really seemed in doubt. even before the start, the fans were partying. and while rory mcilroy briefly gave europe something to cheer with an early point, it proved the briefest glimmer of hope. from there, the us swept them aside. wins for patrick cantlay, scottie scheffler and bryson dechambeau took them to the brink of triumph before the winning moment fell to collin morikawa. as the celebrations started, the only question was how much they would win by. and when daniel berger took the final match, the answer was 19—9. europe's biggest ryder cup defeat in history. the us were very strong, they seemed to get everything, they got it right, whatever their plan was, they got it right this week. a strong team, played well, and they kept the momentum and they would have been tough to beat. at the best of times, let alone when they are on top form, a great win for them. after so much recent ryder cup success for europe, this has been a chastening experience. but for the american fans here, what a victory. their team came here as favourites and they have certainly delivered. and with a young team, currently dominating the world rankings, they will be hoping this stunning victory is just the start. andy swiss, bbc news, whistling straits. another comprehensive victory went to arsenal in yesterday's north london derby. they beat tottenham 3—i thanks to goals from emile smith—rowe, pierre—emerick aubameyang and bukayo saka. all three came in the first half — son heung—min pulled one back but it's the gunners who move above their rivals with this win. and how about this for a moment for rauljimenez, who scored for the first time since a life threatening skull fracture in november last year as wolves won i—0 at southampton — this just his sixth match since returning. celtic dropped points at home for the first time this season. i—i they drew with dundee united. liel abada gave them the lead only for united to equalise two minutes later with a thunderous header, as celtic�*s troubles continue, they're sixth. hibernian

completely different view this morning afterfour 70 metre high chimneys were destroyed in a controlled explosion. it was a demolition that divided opinion. for some, they were eyesores but others considered them historic monuments to the industrial age. and asjo black reports, it's a debate that is playing out in locations up and down the country. the iconic stewartby chimneys. they have been part of the bedfordshire skyline for nearly 100 years. but not any more. one by one, they fell. among the watching crowds, former workers who came to say farewell. i am very upset about it, obviously. spent a lot of time in this place, and a lot of people worked here that i know, and sometimes still meet up with, yeah, iam very upset about it. until yesterday, these four grade two listed stacks were the remaining symbols of the brickmaking industry which dominated here. it took just a few seconds to bring each chimney down. now, they're just piles of rubble. and the bedfordshire landscape has been changed forever. at its peak in the 1930s, stewartby brickworks employed 2,000 people and produced 500 million bricks per year. it was the largest brickworks in the world, and the london brick company created a whole model village around the site for its workers. back then, there were 32 chimneys on this site. over time, they became four. before demolition day, a stream of visitors came for one last look. including 95—year—old ron, who began his working life here at the age of 14. i went through it, a little boy on the presses. the machines, tram driving. it was hard work. dusty work. but it was all right. stewartby has now become the latest community to lose big industrial structures. among others, the dorman long tower in redcar, stripped of its listing, and demolished a week ago. these cooling towers in ironbridge banished from the landscape back in 2019. and the tinsley towers, which stood beside the m1 for decades, were flattened in 2008. not everyone loves these monuments. and they can cost substantial amounts of money to maintain. but they are part of our industrial heritage, and represent the history of our working lives. these are structures which have dominated the landscape for decades or centuries, and people have come to love them. and so people do obviously mourn their loss. britain was the first industrial nation with all the problems that has brought, and we don't celebrate that enough. perhaps ironically, new houses will now be built on the stewartby site. historic england did advise against this demolition but said decisions are made by the local authority. bedford borough council said that evidence showed the chimneys could be unsafe, and a legal agreement means a replica chimney must be built here so the site's historic importance isn't lost. the chimney�*s bricks have now become souvenirs. it is the end of an era. but it's also the beginning of a new chapter. jo black, bbc news. you love those pictures, don't you? it's great

"under significant pressures." we visit an intensive care ward that's already full of covid patients, as they prepare for a difficult winter. it's the final few days for furlough. industries that have been propped up by the job support scheme are about to find out their fate. £68 billion spent. millions ofjob roles subsidised. was it worth it? i take a look. it all ends in tears for europe at the ryder cup. dominated by the united states, they lose by a record score at whistling straits. i love being part of this team, i love my team—mates so much. i should have done more for them this week. its, have done more for them this week. a band of heavy rain moving from the west to _ band of heavy rain moving from the west to the — band of heavy rain moving from the west to the east, accompanied by heavy— west to the east, accompanied by heavy winds. the wind will still be a feature — heavy winds. the wind will still be a feature. all the details coming up later in— a feature. all the details coming up later in the — a feature. all the details coming up later in the programme. it's monday, september the 27th. soldiers could be drafted in to drive petrol tankers after three days of panic buying coupled with a shortage of drivers has caused pumps to run dry. government ministers are expected to meet today to discuss the proposal. they've already suspended oil industry competition laws to allow suppliers to work together. our business correspondent katy austin has the latest. these were the scenes yesterday as panic buying led to some forecourts having to close. people are going a bit nuts. it's 6am in the morning and people are queueing up for petrol. i've got two to three hours work and about 20 miles. so i don't what i'm going to do. it's really frustrating. i am a driver and without petrol, of course, you cannot move. i a group that speaks for more than 5,000 independent fuel retailers said the impact had been severe. there's a large number, more than half, which already run dry and those others are running dry quite quickly. companies involved in the supply of fuel say a spike in demand is the problem, not any shortage of petrol ot diesel. but they met the business secretary yesterday, who agreed to temporarily relax competition laws so that in these circumstances the industry can better share information and prioritise the delivery of supplies to where they're most needed. the government is considering deploying the army to help with deliveries and it is understood that option is under discussion ahead of a possible meeting of cabinet ministers. the first limited supply issues were down to a lack of tanker drivers, that's highlighted a wider lorry driver shortage, a long—standing problem that's got worse. over the weekend, the government announced new measures aimed at tackling it, including 5,000 temporary visas, so drivers can come in from overseas in the run—up to christmas. haulage and business groups welcomed any help but some argued the announcement did not go far enough. supermarkets say they need 15,000 lorry drivers to avoid disruption in the festive season. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is at a filling station in kidderminster. how's it looking, john? any word, busy but not out of control. this is the main road between kidderminster and opened about seven o'clock this morning. they had a delivery of unleaded and diesel, so the tanks are nice and full. there has been a steady run of customers. heaven has been doing a greatjob marshalling people are making sure everything is going through. how has it been?

the cbi and the federation of small businesses are pretty pleased with that they had been calling for reform to business rates for a very long time. distances do not like them. labour has said it will set out a transitional regime and then move to a full system later. they are not giving details on how it would work, just that it would take focus away from bricks and mortar on the high street and focusing on tech businesses in particular. they were look every single tax break which adds up to the value of the business rates are worth 30,000,000,000. we are talking about a lot of money they are looking at. over the last few days lots of other things have been going on. keir starmer managed to get a real change through the labour party conference. he managed to get it through in the end even though it was controversial. angela rayner did not apologise after she said some tories were, quote, scan was that there was disagreement between the shadow chancellor and keir starmer. we between the shadow chancellor and keir starmer-— between the shadow chancellor and keir starmer. we are very clear. we have no plans _ keir starmer. we are very clear. we have no plans to _ keir starmer. we are very clear. we have no plans to look— keir starmer. we are very clear. we have no plans to look at _ keir starmer. we are very clear. we have no plans to look at income - keir starmer. we are very clear. we | have no plans to look at income tax. no plans _ have no plans to look at income tax. no plans to — have no plans to look at income tax. no plans to increase... keir have no plans to look at income tax. no plans to increase. . ._ no plans to increase... keir starmer said nothing — no plans to increase. .. keir starmer said nothing is— no plans to increase... keir starmer said nothing is off _ no plans to increase... keir starmer said nothing is off the _ no plans to increase... keir starmer said nothing is off the table. - no plans to increase... keir starmer said nothing is off the table. we - said nothing is off the table. we are not going to be writing our next manifesto _ are not going to be writing our next manifesto on the andrew marr programme. the only people raising taxes _ programme. the only people raising taxes on _ programme. the only people raising taxes on ordinary working people of the tory— taxes on ordinary working people of the tory government who are increasing national insurance next year _ increasing national insurance next ear. ., ., , increasing national insurance next ear. ., ., year. some of the growing pains as the -a year. some of the growing pains as the party sets _ year. some of the growing pains as the party sets out _ year. some of the growing pains as the party sets out a _ year. some of the growing pains as the party sets out a lot _ year. some of the growing pains as the party sets out a lot more - year. some of the growing pains as the party sets out a lot more detailj the party sets out a lot more detail and a lot more principles about how it would manage taxing and spending. the biggest event that this week will be keir starmer�*s speech on wednesday. germany's two largest parties insist they can both form a governing coalition after tight parliamentary elections failed to produce a clear winner. our correspondentjenny hill is in berlin for us this morning. how long will it take to sort out? it is extremely complicated. to sum it up as we do not know who will be the next german chancellor. at the moment preliminary results show the social democrats have beaten angela merkel�*s leadership, just filter that technically means the social democrats have best dibs on trying to create a government. germany is a most always run by a coalition government. they are working away at that. at the same time, angela merkel�*s and said it saying they are not going down without a fight. we will also try to form a coalition government. both parties will need to get together with to—macro other smaller parties if they are to form the successful government. here is where it gets tricky. both the conservatives and social democrats are willing the same parties, germany's greens in germany's free democrats. you can imagine what they are thinking this morning, they are having a whale of a time. let's get together with the greens and talk about amongst ourselves and then decide whether we want to get together with the conservatives all the social democrats. it is complicated and will take a long time, weeks if not months of negotiations lay ahead. angela merkel was looking forward to her retirement. she told reporters she plans to read a book, maybe take a nap. it will not come any time soon. it will be a long time before we know who will be taking keys to the chancellery and she can finally into retirement. i chancellery and she can finally into retirement-— retirement. i have an image of anuela retirement. i have an image of angela merkel— retirement. i have an image of angela merkel taking - retirement. i have an image of angela merkel taking a - retirement. i have an image of angela merkel taking a nap. i retirement. i have an image of. angela merkel taking a nap. that retirement. i have an image of- angela merkel taking a nap. that is the latest this morning. have you got time to take a nap or read a book?

which will be heavy and thundery. notjust in the west but blown away to the east. temperatures today down on yesterday. we are looking at 12 to 18. in the north of scotland more like a drop of io. 18. in the north of scotland more like a drop of io . this evening and overnight some clear skies but still a lot of showers were heavy and pantry across the north—west of scotland. a new batch in the south—west. a cool night for most. tomorrow we start with brightness and sunshine to start the day. the sham is continuing in the north—west. showers coming in across the south—west. —— the showers. still blustery with the chance of thunder. in between there will be some sunshine. "we are seriously concerned about what lies ahead in the coming months" — that's the message from the head of the body representing intensive care staff across the uk. so we've been taking a look behind the scenes at the pressures icu wards are facing ahead of the winter with doctors urging people to get their covid vaccinations and book in for their booster jabs. phil mccann reports. on the top floor of the royal preston hospital is the ward that is most likely to deal with covid patients — the respiratory ward. here they deal with breathing problems. and dr munavvar is in charge. he and his team go to the constant on and off of ppe, to see their covid patients in what they call the red rooms. how have you been in the last few days? last few days? i've been constantly being sick and can't keep nothing down. today is the first time i have eaten and kept a sandwich down for, oh, god, five or six days. in these rooms, they're seeing a growing number of older patients who had both of their covid jabs. likejean. she was vaccinated in april. and i think if i hadn't had it, well, oh, god, i think i would be dead by now. oh, dear. i think, come on, breathe. i did honestly, when my son rang the ambulance to come in, i didn't think i was going to come out. and thank goodness, i'm on the mend, i am coming out. you have got to have the jab, you have got to get all sorted. thinking back, how do you think you were when you were in the hospital? on death's door. i thought i wasn't going to make it. next tojean is lorraine, she wasn't vaccinated at all. i was in a hood for five days and nights. which gave me the oxygen. went down with it on the 31st of august after getting it from my husband, he wasn't so bad, he wasn'tjabbed, but we both plan to get jabbed now. at the worst point, what was your condition like? near death. just kept going round, kept coming round. i didn't know if it was going to carry on or which way it was going to tip. couldn't eat, couldn't drink. now? perfect, perfect, thank you. lorraine wasn't anti—vaccine, she just didn't think she'd need one. ijust sat on the fence, really, i felt quite confident that i was strong. mobile, i was active, and fit and healthy, don't smoke, don't drink. and it can hit anyone. the doctor can see a clear difference between lorraine and jean. jean has had both the jabs, it has not affected her lungs, and her oxygen levels did not drop. so she's not requiring oxygen, as opposed to lorraine, who has not had the jab, and therefore required oxygen for quite some time, she needed to go into the intensive care unit, she had, as she mentioned, the cpap hood. so that's the difference, when people have had the jabs. for dr munavvar, the boosterjabs that are being offered to the over 50s should mean she sees fewer people likejean in the red rooms whose vaccine protection is waning after six months. what kind of difference will it make here? i think going forward it will make a massive difference. especially because we have the flu season coming up, we have winter, and if the protection from the initial two doses were to wane, as predicted, as shown by the scientific evidence coming through, then the booster jabs are going to be extremely important. at the moment, every bed in this hospital is full. and the expectation is that over the coming weeks, more and more people are going to start being admitted with all of the normal, non—covid winter related respiratory issues and that is why the boosterjab is being viewed as so important here. they need to cut the number of covid patients to make room for everyone else. we have had had a few respiratory patients this morning which need reviewed. we have some significant pressures with some covid patients. we have 3a beds here. we have some side rooms here. you can see the red signs indicating these are covid patients. they split their rooms into red, blue and green. red for people who definitely have covid, blue for people who might and down here, green for everyone else with things like lung cancer, pneumonia and emphysema. what has happened because of covid is increasingly, we have had to use most of these beds for covid—related illnesses therefore leaving us a very limited number of beds for those patients who do not have covid but have other pressing respiratory issues. lung problems. by far the biggest problem in this ward at the moment is people who, like lorraine, are completely unvaccinated. the younger unvaccinated people, they are the ones who are coming in and becoming very seriously ill. even though they are younger? younger, fitter, no medical conditions, they are coming in and very seriously ill, and that's the crucial point. but the boosterjab for those already vaccinated will make a difference. notjust this ward, but of course to people likejean. ijust don't like to [and up with, well, i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. ijust don't want to [and up with this again. because i think if i do, i ain't going to come through it. we're joined now by professor shondipon laha, who is a member of the intensive care society, and also an intensive care consultant working at the royal preston hospital, which we saw there in phil's report. we're also joined by the bbc�*s health editor, hugh pym. professor, if i can come to you festival. how representative is that report? festival.

even possibly as the total waiting list that might develop, according to the secretary of state, sajid javid, no less. lots of state, sajid javid, no less. lots of people are taking initiatives to get through the patients who have been waiting the longest, making more efficient use of operating theatres and moving stuff around but really trying to get to grips with it. with winter coming on, there is more pressure on beds, that is the crucial thing and that might well make their task more difficult. had ou deal make their task more difficult. had you deal with _ make their task more difficult. had you deal with that day to day? do you deal with that day to day? do you try to deal with it hour by hour, day by day? i thinking about people across the nhs who need an operation? —— are you

needing care in my day—to—dayjob. morale is at an all—time low. people on stress leave, burn—out many are retiring and moving less acute specialities stop it is causing a huge problem. as part of the intensive care society we have identified it as a big problem. the biggest thing you can do to manage the bed capacity is to get your vaccination. it reduces your chances of getting infected and if you are infected it reduces your chance of being hospitalised or going to intensive care or dying. we are aware it is a problem nationally and internationally. many populations are way behind the uk in getting vaccination numbers up. if you leave those areas without vaccination, you continue to encourage circulation of the virus. we are heading into winter. how does it feel now compared with this

plan to support systems with significant demand, and anyone who needs the nhs should come forward. they added that, when invited, people should take up their flu vaccine and covid boosterjabs. thank

of fuel this morning after the panic buying at the weekend. some drivers are waiting on the forecourts for delivery lorries to arrive. there are further petrol stations that are open which have

one, of the crucial role played by lorry drivers. they're in short supply at the moment and the haulage industry is desperate to attract new recruits. so, how hard is it to drive an hgv? we sent tim muffett to find out. a quick spoiler, some traffic cones were hurt in the making of this film. right hand down, faster, faster, faster! manoeuvring an articulated lorry isn't easy, as i'm discovering. it's weird, the back of the lorry moves in a different direction to how you expect. absolutely, left is right, right is left. don't worry, it's a private training ground, no members of the public are at risk. but we need more of this, to train the 100,000 extra hgv drivers the road haulage association says we urgently need. there goes one of the cones. we have the perfect storm, we have covid, and brexit, and some other factors. the delays with testing because of the closing of test centres and test themselves. those factors are precious at this point where we are now. it can cost up to £5,000 to learn to become an hgv driver but the shortage is so severe that this company is offering the training forfree. get that wheel straight! what has the response been like? phenomenal. we have had just over 10,000 people responded, and i think 42 people already are going into the process, but again, we have to wait for medicals, licenses to be returned, and then, of course, book training and wait for test dates. according to the road haulage association, around 500,000 people in the uk have an hgv licence but many qualified hgv drivers are not driving. some have retired, some have left the industry, and the situation is getting worse. the riverside transport cafe in west london. it has been owned and run by this family for a0 years. since covid especially, where we had drivers close to retirement age we would see weekly, a lot of them have not come back. has it always been a challenge to attract younger drivers? probably, i don't think many of them would like to spend a night in their cab. in a lay—by somewhere, with no facilities. a couple of guys are saying a lot of drivers who they have fired in the past for not being competent, they are half begging them to come back now, they would rather have a guy who cannot do the job properly than not have one at all. dave has been an agency driverfor 30 years, hired by whoever needs it. you must be a man in demand. i am, i'm worn out. but rich? not really, the money has only started to come up recently, it has only taken a crisis to do it, the reality is there are not enough qualified drivers. yesterday, the government announced that 5,000 temporary visas would be available for foreign lorry drivers wanting to work in the uk. the government also says it's committed to making more long—term training and testing available. but the impact of the driver shortage continues to spread. this charity redistributes surplus food from shops and restaurants to those who need it. there's a shortage of hgv drivers, how is that affecting what you do? we aren't getting enough food in, and then double whammy is that we are having to use our vans to go out and collect the food from our partners that ordinarily would be delivered in. those vans should be used for delivering to the community organisations. we collectively support a million people every single week, so if we reduce that by 50%, potentially 500,000 people every could go without food. many hgv drivers say they have been underappreciated for years. the road ahead looks rather different. not sure that is going to be his next career. not sure that

seen deliveries of unleaded and diesel this morning, this is an independent petrol station, so it controls its own supply and has its own drivers so they have got a good idea of how much fuel they need and they kept the tanks topped up by increasing deliveries, two a day instead of three or four a week. we spoke to some of the first driver to fill up this morning. i spoke to some of the first

government have these plans in place so once they are kicking in, we can get a balance between supply and demand. that should fix the problem. thank you very much. some news reaching us this morning.

by low pressure, meaning it has been cooler. this is some heavy rain in the shetland islands, and as that pushes away, it will be brightening behind it. here's the band of wayne, —— rain, heavy and squally winds around it, most fishing into the north sea. it will linger in the northern isles. behind it, sunshine and showers, some will be heavy and thundery. notjust in the rest of it on blustery winds they will be blown over to the east. temperatures will be three and seven degrees cooler than yesterday. so you will notice the change. this evening and overnight, there will be clear spells but showers across the north west, some heavy and thundery, and more coming in from the south—west which tomorrow will merge to give longer spells of rain, as it pushes north and east, driven on blustery winds. in between, top temperatures 18 or 19. a complicated picture, thank you very much. we were just listening but we were chatting about the gulf. as we've been hearing from john this morning, there was no miracle for europe in the ryder cup. instead there were only tears from rory mcillroy, as the usa secured the victory that had seemed inevitable since the end of the first foursomes on friday. we are joined by former european tour professional andrew murray. i would love to be talking about the european win but they were squarely beaten by a great american team. probably the best american team for many years. at the end of the day, they were outplayed at every department, in driving, fitting, second shots were less accurate —— driving and putting. the score shows the story of
