the world. hello and welcome to berlin, where the leaders of germany's two main parties are both claiming the right to govern after this unpredictable election race. but with the centre left spd emerging as the single biggest party, they have been quick to press home that advantage. their candidate for chancellor, olaf scholz, has been pushing the case to be the only party worthy of forming a coalition. their lead over the the centre right christian democrats, the party of angela merkel, may be slim, but it is a party which has just been handed its worst—ever result in a national election. according to the german electoral commission, the centre—left spd are on 25.7% with the centre—right conservatives cdu/csu on 24.1% of the votes. to form a majority of seats in the parliament, they'd each need at least two partners. so the greens and the liberal free democrats will now be the kingmakers in these coalition negotiations. joining me now is dr nicolai von 0ndarza, a senior fellow at the political think tank, swp. thank is going to form the next government. —— thank you forjoining me. do you think is going to form the next government? inaudible the nipples and the greens will be

interference i will broaden this out a little. i will make an assumption that olaf scholz becomes chancellor and the spd will be in government. how much will that change relations in the uk for

european context. we are not having the best of luck here, i think we're going to let that go. nikolai, it is coming and going a bit. interesting features of this whole election campaign will be about the modernisation of parts of the infrastructure, one of the key elements being the internet on the digitalisation of this country and maybe that was some of —— a small example of some of the work that needs to be done. we find ourselves in a situation where the spd seem to have taken almost a moral high ground, the point being made by olaf scholz is that there are three parties who have succeeded in this election, they are one of them, the greens have come out stronger, the fdp, the free democrats, have come out strong and they should be the three to forge a coalition government. there are challenges involved, no question, one of those could be that those two parties could be that those two parties could also have a look at the cdu and to see whether there is a better offer coming from the conservatives. at the moment, that seems rather unlikely. armin laschet, who was the candidate for chancellor for the cdu, is even facing problems from within his own party. some of the major regional leaders are saying you have had your chance, mate, you're going to have to move aside and let someone else take over. early days, joanna. interference on the starting grid, pole position to the starting grid, pole position to the spd. thanks, david. oil companies will be allowed to work together so that petrol supplies can reach the areas where they are needed most following recent panic buying at the pumps. competition laws will be suspended, so rival companies can identify where supplies are lowest. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, said the government had "long standing" contingency plans to maintain fuel supplies. a shortage of lorry drivers has caused problems for a range of industries in recent months, from supermarkets to fast food chains. it is thought that ministers are to consider deploying the army to deliver fuel to garage forecourts. this report from our business correspondent, katy austin. honking. 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 about 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. - a group which speaks for more than 5,000 independent fuel retailers said the impact had been severe. there is 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 or 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 didn't go far enough. supermarkets say they need 15,000 lorry drivers to avoid disruption in the festive season. we can talk to tony evans, an hgv one class driver and drives good up and down the country. thank you for joining us, you are in hot demand, tell us what you drive, what you are able

specifically right now, the focus is on tanker drivers and the government is calling on anyone with an hgv licence to step up but you need a specific license to drive a fuel tanker, so it is not open to anyone. you basically pay for it. i think i looked at it about a year ago, a year and a half ago and it was about £500, £600 to do, to get the adr to go to the company, get training and go to the company, get training and go out with a tanker. i don't know what it is now because it changes by the year. and with demand, the price goes up, as well. find the year. and with demand, the price goes

"what to be a truck driver because i can earn £54,000" and you roll down to the hourly rate, which was about £18, £19 an hour, times that by if you want to do 45 hours over the year, it doesn't equate. you are going to need to do six—day weeks, you are going to need to do 15 hour days, you're going to need to drive efficiently in terms of fuel, which is difficult with the amount of road works and diversions and you have other incentives, like attendance allowance. there will be targets you have got to hit to get at, which sometimes are not easy to hit. you have got to do the hours to hit that. it is not realistic. the companies are putting out these massive figures, making it look too, you know, anybody that is sitting there with no job, you know, anybody that is sitting there

petrol stations. he said there is no shortage of fuel and predicted things would calm down now that people who are anxious had filled up their cars. he says because of these current problems is that panic buying episode. the most important thing is for people to start buying petrol as they normally would. he says this would have been entirely manageable had we not see lots of media coverage around the fact that there were shortages and the public reaction to that. he has said a lack of hgv drivers is not a huge problem for the fuel sector. he said there are currently no plans to bring in the army to drive tankers. there has been a lot of speculation around that for days. let's bring in our correspondence. the issue is getting enough supplies to the pumps when there is such demand, what is the situation with the price of fuel?— the price of fuel? currently, it is a averaging _ the price of fuel? currently, it is a averaging around _ the price of fuel? currently, it is a

barrel, up 20 20% —— it is up 20% since august. the chances are that petrol prices are likely to go up that petrol prices are likely to go up even more in the future. they are going to be trading off using that brent crude fuel to price of petrol in the future. what george eustice has said driver about shortages, saying that... you know... it is not... i think you said... there is a lack of hgv drivers but that won't make a difference of getting petrol to the pumps. the haulage association have said there is 100,000 shortfall in... drivers. and the government have issued 5,000 new users. that has come under some criticism that 5,000 is nowhere near enough. the british retail consortium said it is like throwing a symbol of water water on a bonfire. —— throwing a thimble. at the same time, there is an issue with the driver shortage and getting our goods around the country. thank ou. patients facing delays of months and years on nhs waiting lists are taking out loans or crowdfunding to pay for private treatment. millions of people across the country are queuing for treatment. the government says it will invest £36 billion in nhs and social care in the uk up to 2025. figures shared with tonight bbc�*s panorama programme show that people waiting for care in the most deprived parts of england are nearly twice as likely to wait more than a year for their treatment. victoria derbyshire reports. running a flu clinic outside the surgery in north london, doctor leora harvard is struggling to keep up. ifeel, at the moment, we are so overwhelmed that i cannot deliver medicine and the care to the level that i would like to. and it's notjust the demand on her time that's putting pressure on doctor harvard. it's also worries from her patients who are struggling to get to see hospital consultants. one patient who says she can't wait any longer has written to doctor harvard. so, this lady is worried about waiting to be seen on the nhs and might be going privately. so, ijust want to phone her. oh, hello, it's leora harvard, phoning from the surgery. no, you shouldn't have to go privately for this, i'm sure i can help with this one. ok, thank you, bye—bye. according to research by the think tank the king's fund shared with panorama, since the pandemic began, people waiting for treatment in the most deprived parts of england are almost twice as likely to wait more than a year for care. hello. they've been looking at the impact on the pandemic on some of the pandemic on some of the poorest people in the country. is there a concern that we are seeing the beginnings of a serious two tier health system? i think that's one of the risks that the government and national bodies and the nhs are absolutely going to have to manage. because we have a choice, as a society, where we go after this pandemic. it can either be the pandemic that exposed health inequalities and made us make hard decisions over who we prioritise for treatment. or we can ignore it and keep doing almost what we were doing before, and focus on things like the headline number of how many people are being treated, without realising if that's leading to widening health inequalities or not. one shoulder higher and then one shoulder more prominent... - | so, you can actually see his curve | there and you can see his shoulder blade sitting out more... 12—year—old

britain'ss fifth biggest supermarket, aldi, says it will invest more than a billion pounds over the next two years to grow its business in the uk. the announcement comes as it posted its annual financial results for 2020, which saw a rise a 10% in sales but a small fall in pretax profits to £265m. emma simpson has been talking to its uk ceo, giles hurley about how the business is faring as well as fears about disruption in the run up to christmas. she spoke to him before the government announced its plans to deal with the chronic shortage of hgv drivers. we have started to see shopping patterns normalise, british consumers have been coming back to store and rediscovering the joy of grocery. we actually hit our record market share in the summer at 8.2% and i have to say it is that confidence in our performance that means i'm delighted to announce that we're going to gain in terms of expansion. today i am announcing an investment of £1.3 billion in the uk over the next two years. that means 100 new stores across the length and breadth of the country. which is great news for our british suppliers, producers and manufacturers but also for the wider economy. are food prices going to have to rise? look, i think it's widely reported there are inflationary pressures out there, it's been widely reported. i don't think that can be denied and i don't think anybody is going to be immune from that but we have, within our business, a very unique efficient model, which means i think we can insulator which means i think we can insulate customers far better than anyone else. the chairman of tesco reckons food prices could rise by 5% this winter, what do you think? if that is what tesco deliver, i think that's great news for our business, because that means we willjust see the price get widened. what are you saying, then? will the cost of living squeeze strengthen your competitive position? our customers know that when they shop with us, they get the lowest prices and they are voting with their feet and we are seeing that. in the last 12 weeks alone, we welcomed 600,000 new customers to our stores. where are you on hgv drivers? how big a shortage do you have? at the moment, we are well set but we are never complacent, we are always recruiting, we always have done and that won't change. for you, you don't really have a problem of driver shortages right now? no, it's business as usual for us and, as i say, what is important is that customers across the uk know that our deliveries are moving as normal. the nfu, trade bodies, and tesco have warned about panic buying this winter, what are your thoughts on that? there have been a lot of warnings about christmas but i think we should take a step back and just reflect on the last 18 months. the british grocery sector has shown itself to be remarkably resilient in the face of some extraordinary circumstances. it won't surprise you to hear that at aldi for the past 12 months, we've been working incredibly hard on planning christmas, and i don't envisage any disruption for our customers. to what extent is the food supply chain under real strain at the minute? it goes without saying that i think there's widespread disruption in the industry. you're seeing that with various food manufacturers and food retailers. i have to say that we have a really unique business, with a refined range, less suppliers, we actually employ more of our drivers directly than the majority of the market. so, look, i can assure customers that they should continue to shop as normal, our stores are fully stocked and our deliveries are running as normal. labour will focus on economic issues as its annual conference continues in brighton today. there's expected to be a promise to scrap business rates in england, with the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, saying the plan would be fairer to struggling high street retailers. she denied reports that labour was planning to commit to an increase in income tax. keir starmer and myself are clear, we have no plans to look at income tax and increase income tax. forgive me, i listened to him live yesterday and he said nothing is off the table. keir and me will not be writing our next manifesto on the andrew marr programme or on television. we are not looking at income tax and we have no plans to raise it. the only people raising taxes on ordinary working people are the tory government, who are increasing national insurance next year, which is a jobs tax, a tax on ordinary working families and a tax on businesses. that is not labour's approach. we would ask those with the broadest shoulders, particularly those who get their incomes not from going out to work but from stocks and shares and buy—to—let properties. we think those people should pay a bit more in tax, not people who go out to work to get a wage. and we'll be bringing you that speech by rachel reeves at around midday, here on bbc news. that is for uk viewers. an earthquake has hit the greek island of crete, killing at least one person and injuring several others. the quake struck early in the morning, southeast of the capital, heraklion, where it was felt strongly. the national observatory of athens said it had a magnitude of five point eight. there are also reports of people being trapped in damaged buildings. lava from the volcano on la palma in the canary islands continues to flow and it is now approaching the sea. scientists think it may reach the ocean in the coming hours and is likely to cause explosions and sent clouds of toxic gases over the islands. the volcano started erupting a week ago and hundreds of homes have been destroyed and thousands of people have been evacuated. australia's prime minister, scott morrison, has said he might not attend the un climate conference in scotland this november. mr morrison told the west australian newspaper that he wanted to focus on dealing with covid in australia adding that he had already "been on a lot of overseas trips this year" and "spent a lot of time in quarantine". australia is the highest per capita carbon emitter among the world's richest nations and has so far refused to endorse pledges made by many other developed nations. here's our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil. he said publicly in an interview that he is not going. it is true, there could be, you know, a lot to manage, especially if australia opens up around that time and there is a spike in covid cases, especially international travel, for example if it partly opens up. what is also true is that australia is on the front line on this emergency, australia has had its worst bushfire season in 2019, 2020 and the australian prime minister and the government were heavily criticised at the time. firstly for downplaying the role of climate change and defying the science but also the prime minister going on a family holiday in hawaii at the peak peak the crisis. he has been you mostly and heavily criticised for this progress —— at the peak of. this is a country still supporting the fossil fuel industry and very much relies quite heavily on coal for its energy. politically, it is very complex. it is a very fine balance that he is trying to strike, especially with a looming election. this is a country where many voters, especially in regional areas and coal mining areas see the talk about transition to renewables and climate or action as a threat and that will affect their votes. the prime minister is trying to strike a balance between his standing in the elections, which are around the corner, coming up early next year and his standing in the world with a lot of pressure. we heard from the foreign minister saying this does not mean australia is a no show, we are going to attend, this is important but the fact that the country which is at the very forefront of a climate crisis will not attend the biggest climate talks in years is indicative and will really be seen in australia notjust avoiding its commitments but also avoiding its commitments but also avoiding accountability. the headlines on bbc news... germany's centre left social democrats have narrowly beaten the party of outgoing chancellor angela merkel according to provisional election results, as the country's s two biggest parties both insist they can build a coalition. oil companies are to be allowed

grandparents dead. but for children in low income countries it will be worse. they will seat three times as many and eight times as many heatwaves. two thirds of children born today are born in these countries. mary has planted 250,000 trees so far and it is not just extreme heat that they manage, but they also prevent flooding. when you cull the trees of the hill, water washes down when it rains, water does not seep down into the water reservoirs, the poor are definitely disproportionately impacted and they are the ones who are first hit, and they play the least role in many ways in contributing to this crisis. ina similarvein, in a similar vein, the charity save the children says that children born in the past year will face seven times as many heatwaves. it was published in the journal, times as many heatwaves. it was published in thejournal, science, and we can speak to the main author of the report from the university of brussels. thank you forjoining us. can you tell us

supporters said it was long overdue with the country one of the last in western europe not to recognise them. the bbc�*s imogen foulkes reports from bern. applause. supporters worked hard for a yes vote, they expected today's result, but not the size of the majority. 64% of those voting said i do to same—sex marriage. switzerland is one of the last countries in western europe to approve same—sex marriage. campaigners argued that the change was long overdue stop now they are celebrating victory. cheering. translation: this is a historic day for switzerland, _ a historic day for equal rights of people of the same sex who love each other and a symbolic day for the whole lgbt community. it's a really important day. the no campaign had claimed that giving same—sex couples equal rights to adoption and fertility treatment could undermine the traditionalfamily. but that argument fails at the ballot box. the swiss government backs the change, parliament has already approved the legislation. now that voters have said yes, too, switzerland's first to same—sex weddings are expected in july, next year. imogen foulkes, bbc news, bern. a recount of votes in iceland's general election means that women will not after all hold the majority of seats in parliament. earlier it was announced that 33 members of the 63 seat parliament would be made up of women making it the first european country with a female majority. but a recount revealed that a small number of votes had been wrongly tallied resulting in some being re allocated. now there have been many investigations into the link between football and dementia, which may be caused by heading the ball. it's a condition more and more ex professionals, and theirfamilies, are having to live with. and now, the uk's first ever �*no heading' adult match has taken place inspired by ex middlesbrough defender bill gates. nesta mcgregor was there. kicking off the game, former middlesbrough defender, bill gates. now 77, he's been diagnosed with dementia, a game organised by his family, aiming to raise awareness for sport —related brain injuries. we really want people to start thinking, talking, considering alternatives, with the overarching aim of protecting the players and protecting the game. on the face of it, football as we know it, with one rule, no heading outside the 18 yard box. a uk first, it was always going to take some getting used to. heading is and has always been an important part of the game, although increasingly, research has been carried out to look at what the long—term effects of that might be stopped england's 1966 world cup winning squad. dementia has played a part in the deaths of martin peters, ray wilson, nobby stiles, and jack charlton. many will point to the fact that the weight, size and materials used to make footballs has changed a lot since then. however, the football association recently updated its rules on heading, including a ban for under 11s during training. plenty of goals so far, but this game was never about the result but the issue. and now that we are into the second half, heading is banned anywhere on the field. yeah, interesting system, if the ball is in there to go and attack and win the ball. it brings a different dimension to your game, you've got to adjust, you've got to move your feet quicker and bring the ball down with your chest and try to find different solutions, really. it was interesting. the link has now been proven between dementia and heading a football and there's so many great players now who are really struggling. it certainly needs looking at, the fa, the premier league, they need to look at it and decide what we are going to do with it, what is a safe way to move forward. we are unlikely to see any changes to the professional game any time soon but work is under way to make the game safer for everyone. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... germany's centre left social democrats have

earlier. some people will be wondering why they only have to leave one week when last year nicola and cathy had to leave the competition entirely because of a positive case between them. and it is simply because the rules surrounding self isolation have changed. this time last year, we did not have the vaccine. won, one of the executive offices said if anyone is positive, it does not mean they leave the competition entirely. but as you pointed out, it is a headache, particularly in week one. this show has had so many hurdles to overcome and managed to do so last year with the entire show continuing through a national lockdown with cases rising into the winter, social distancing bubbles, and they managed to come through with the highest viewing figures last year in years. not the way they want start the series but they have the procedures in place. and there is a row around those who are not vaccinated. we do not know who they are. that is not out there. but in terms of the impact on the show and the wider repercussions, what is the latest? the tabloid reports are stating that several of the professionals do not want to have the vaccine, but the bbc are also trying to say that these reports are not accurate. i would say this is a wider issue in terms of what we will be having across the entire country, not only an entertainment but generally. i know you have reported a lot on whether they should be mandatory vaccines, whether people should be encouraged to go and do so, with strictly it is the other dimension, to set a good example. this issue is not going to be specifically confined to strictly, but to a lot of entertainment programming over the next few months because at the end of the day, it is up to the individual to choose rather than be told,

drivers getting petrol before courts but that is quite limited any petrol sector. because of these current problems is that panic buying episode and the most important thing is for people to start buying petrol as they normally would. obviously those people who have a tendency to be anxious at these times, many will have filled their cars up and there does come a point, as we saw, with the previous rapid of panic buying during the pandemic and third, when people settle down, get your state i return to life as normal again. the quicker people get back to that, the better, there is no shortage of petrol and refineries are storage and the only reason we do not have a petulant forecourt is that people are buying petrol when they do not need it. —— we do not have petrol at forecourts. let's get more from our political correspondent nick eardley in westminster, you heard a georgia used to saying this is not down to any shortages —— georgia used as saying. he is basically blaming people who are queueing up at petrol stations this morning for that saying the only reason there is any shortages in particular parts of the country is because people are buying fuel that they do not need. he reckons people who are anxious are basically worried they will not be able to fill up their cars so they are filling them up a bit more than they would at the moment. the message from the government, and it has been the case for a few days is that people should not be changing their fuel buying habits at any stage, really, because there is no need to. i think one of the strategy is the government has at the moment it's frankly to hope this goes away, that over the weekend enough people will have filled up their cars that they do not need to fill them up very well and it will mean some of the queues we have seen at petrol stations over the last few days start to die down because people do not need any more fuel. the danger for the government, i suppose is that does not happen and some of these queues continue and people are not heeding those messages not to panic and this continues for a few days still. we have seen some plans from the government to allow more hgv drivers into the country on short—term visas. those plans are likely to take a few days, if not a few weeks to come to fusion. it is worth bearing in mind that there is no guarantee that foreign drivers will come and take up those visas, particularly given the situation with covid in some countries. there is also talk, as you heard, in the headlines there, about potentially bringing in some army drivers to help with the effort. that is something that there are plans for. they were drawn up in the event of a no deal brexit. there is an operation for the army to come and help with distribution. but we have heard george eustice, the environment secretary, saying this morning that is something the government does not have plans to do at the moment. it seems where any holding pattern at the moment where the government is hoping these queues will not continue, but the problem is if they do, it is what ministers had to do next. igrate problem is if they do, it is what ministers had to do next. we

the plans the government has a place this morning to perhaps bring in the military, change competition laws, and that sort of thing will need to be enacted quickly to try and sort this problem out. one other theory is that with so many people filling up over the weekend perhaps they might not need to fill up for a few more days so the end might be in sight, but of course, it is about balancing supply and demand. lorenzo zaccheo is the managing director of european haulage company alcaline transport, which focuses mainly on deliveries between the uk and italy. thank you forjoining us, what

big back in there. obviously, we still managed to serve our customers, but we find it very, very difficult because what is happening now is many large pic companies are offering quite a large amount of money to any drivers thatjoin a company is and that is a thing for reflection also, the tanker drivers because i was talking the other day to one of them and he was saying he was earning something about £36,000 a year so they got offered 50,000 so no wonder they are moving on and getting £6,000 cash up front. that obviously is distorting the labour market at the moment. 50 obviously is

happens. obviously. the drivers have unsocial hours, low pay, problems with immigration, they get fined about 500, 600 or £300 per person if people are found in their vehicle because they do not check properly so you're asking yourself in it is neck and then they are treated terribly and no wonder no one wants to do thisjob terribly and no wonder no one wants to do this job any more. what terribly

try to tackle this issue? the visas for 5,000 drivers from the eu, trying to process the applications, the driving test for hgv drivers, talking about higher salaries, you have already alluded to that, to make it more appealing. what you think of those? that is the most ridiculous i i've heard in years, because if you're going to promise the visas, you have a stable job in europe, middleweight has gone up, ?10 orsomething per job in europe, middleweight has gone up, ?10 or something per hour, so they are not far off what they get paid in the united kingdom, does the gamut think all of these eastern europeans are going to come here and work for weeks and then go back where they come from? we will come back here, get some money, use it and then go back to where you come from question like that is a ridiculous idea and then we have the training as well. personally, i do not think anybody actually consulted insurance companies because i would never, ever employ someone who just passed the test. . the vehicle itself is worth hundred £20,000 and then you have people with some degree of knowledge and everything else and we are training drivers on dry weather with empty trailers and women are talking about going down the french alps, it is not something you learn in five minutes. —— when we are talking about going on the french alps. and then it talk about coupling and coupling trailers, that is when most accidents happen. i was working with the company and we lost a driver a year ago for that reason because the handbrake has to be second nature, so someone that started yesterday is certainly going to be a problem so that is why you start out late and then work up with an arctic because it is a dangerous machine and has to be driven properly. machine and has to be

ago got killed in france. so preventing fat, there is a lot of thieving going on and please do not do much —— preventing theft. and the police do not do much. when the lorry driver calls, they do not bother to come out, they give you a crime number and that is the end of it. these drivers are exposed to danger on a daily basis on the road driving these vehicles and also when they are parked up, so someone has to do something, not to mention the extraordinary amount of money you pay for parking. then a meal allowances, £5 a day, which is at the most ridiculous sort of money that the revenue can allow tax—free. without money they are your luck if you get a cheeseburger that is the end of it. so how do you expect drivers to join end of it. so how do you expect drivers tojoin a end of it. so

to govern after preliminary results in yesterday's parliamentary elections put them narrowly ahead of the long dominant conservative alliance. its leader, olaf scholz says he would seek to form a coalition with the parties that came third and fourth the greens and the free democrats. for more on this let's go now to david eades in berlin. hello and welcome to berlin where the leaders of germany's two main parties are both claiming the right to govern after this unpredictable election race. party, they have been quick to press home that advantage. their candidate for chancellor, olaf scholz, has been pushing the case to be the only party worthy of forming a coalition. their lead over the the centre right christian democrats, the party of angela merkel, may be slim, but it is a party which has just been handed its worst ever result in a national election. let's let's have a look at the breakdown. according to the german electoral commission the centre left spd are on 25.7% with the centre right conservatives cdu/csu on 24.1% of the votes. that is a big fall for them. if you want to get a majority together you have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the next have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the next two, have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the next two, the have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the next two, the greens have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the next two, the greens and have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the next two, the greens and a very pro—business free democrats. the liberal party who would become the coalition partners. any sense, they become the cakemakers and could have a lot of influence and power over the next government —— the kingmakers. what did you make of that? it kingmakers. what did you make of that? ., , i'm nowjoined by imke henkel, german journalist now lecturer in digitaljournalist at birkbeck university. it isa it is a surprisingly clear result. it was very narrow. at the beginning of the election the poll they had right after the ballots were close and they were head—to—head are both 25%. and during the evening, it turned out that s t d had a lead of roughly ten seats —— spd. it is tremendously difficult to see how it will turn out. if you listen to the discussion of the leaders two hours after the close of the voting, you can see there already seemed this coalition that olaf scholz wants to go to between the greens and the spd and the liberals and his spd. let go to between the greens and the spd and the liberals and his spd.— and the liberals and his spd. let me 'ust and the liberals and his spd. let me just interruoting _ and the liberals and his spd. let me just interrupting and _ and the liberals and his spd. let me just interrupting and asking - and the liberals and his spd. let me just interrupting and asking about. just interrupting and asking about that. we are seeing some pictures of olaf scholz lapping up what is painting it as a significant victory there. how would that change? if thatis there. how would that change? if that is the weight goes, how would that is the weight goes, how would that change germany's perspective further afield? that change germany's perspective furtherafield? let's that change germany's perspective further afield? let's start relations with the uk to a centre—right government to a centre—left. with that change much? on traditional foreign policies, centre—left. with that change much? on traditionalforeign policies, any switch very, very likely. so if it were to be a different outlook, of course. a centre—left government would have more difficulties with a centre—right government in the outlook of their political approach. olaf scholz and the opposition could be more difficult. —— could not be more difficult. traditionally, the uk, british politicians have very often miss read german politicians. famously, david cameron and also johnson and also theresa may very much have a miss read angela merkel. they always thought she will come out for us, she will support us. only because she has been some accommodating. that was a huge misunderstanding that the british too often held at the inability scratch my inability to think any multilateral set—up. they always tried to solve them on a bilateral basis. ., , , , , basis. that is interesting because olaf scholz _ basis. that is interesting because olaf scholz said _ basis. that

that came to be a good partner at the uk, seeing great potential there. good partner at the uk, seeing great potentialthere. but good partner at the uk, seeing great potential there. but what you're saying it does not matter what political hue the leader is in germany, the eu is always going to trump a brexit britain. you have to see far more soberly. german politicians will think what is any german interest and usually they will go for where are our allies who we trade with, who we have international relations with, towards united states, towards china, and of course, there might be cases where the uk is closely aligned with german interest, but usually it will be the eu because it is just a usually it will be the eu because it isjust a bigger usually it will be the eu because it is just a bigger block, usually it will be the eu because it isjust a bigger block, it is usually it will be the eu because it is just a bigger block, it is so much more important for german interests. but that was always the case. that was also the case when britain was still in that the eu. so there is sometimes a way to see as if germany wants to punish britain because it left the eu or... and i think it is more, it is a sense of great sadness, but now it is a shrug of the shoulders so if they want to go themselves, it is fine, but i think of course olaf scholz will be very much interested to have close, excellent relationship with britain. we are very close neighbours. no question about that. ok. we are very close neighbours. no question about that.— question about that. ok. so to choose a french _ question about that. ok. so to choose a french phase - question about that. ok. so to choose a french phase of - question about that. ok. so to - choose a french phase of changing political direction, it will have to be steady as she goes in terms of uk and german relations. just let me pick your brains on one last thing and that is the timeframe. how long do you give it before we get a clear picture before we see the white smoke on what the next coalition government will look like? you know what, government will look like? you know what. before — government will look like? you know what, before the _ government will look like? you know what, before the election _ government will look like? you know what, before the election i _ government will look like? you know what, before the election i would - what, before the election i would have said angela merkel will give the new year's speech and will last into january or longer. after the outcome of yesterday, i think it will be shorter. i think it is, after all, when the dust has settled, to surprisingly clear. the big difficulty as it might even happen before christmas. the big difficulties might be between the greens and the spd because they are very much at opposite ends. they are very much at opposite ends. they are very much at opposite ends. they are very much aware that the huge changes or important thing is they are very much appealing to young voters. there is a potential where both are very much aware and this aligns them or to the spd and elise edu who appeals to all voters. so they will not want to lose that —— the first night. they know they will need to find a compromise and a live quicker. i would give it before christmas. quicker. i would give it before christmas-— quicker. i would give it

on. labour are focusing on economic issues at the annual conference in brighton. there is an expectation to promise to scrap business rates saying that it would be fairer to retailers. joining me now is mike cherry, the chairman of the federation of small businesses and we'll be hearing from rachel reeves at midday, bringing that speech lie. make cherry will be there for it. what you think of that

businesses back, particularly post— pandemic, from being able to invest and grow in their businesses and create more jobs. very welcome announcement. how they deliver that in practice is up to the government or the opposition as it hopes to be the government. but we need to be making sure that businesses have enough money to be able to invest and get the economic recovery going and this is

sport centre with ollie. rory mcllroy was 1 of the few players to win their match as it's the biggest defeat in ryder cup history, europe losing 19 9 to the united states in wisconsin. and as andy swiss reports, the victory could bring with it a period of dominance for the us. 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 mcllroy 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. england all—rounder moeen ali has announced his retirement from test cricket, seven years after making his debut in the format since his debut against

noon and saying labour would spend wisely and she is trying to win over sceptical vocals and there will be business friendly announcements including this scrapping of business rates. we have a key member of the treasury team here, the shadow chief secretary to the treasury. i am told rachel reeves will not mention anything about income tax in the speech. those on more than £80,000 a year, where

statute books and then unless they go on the statute books and then left and that a really big question is left out. we are absently focused on making sure we are stronger finances. we can then make sure we are putting the right amount of investment into our public services so they are strong and resilient and we think how taxpayers money is spent is incredibly important and people work hard for their money and expect the government to make tough decisions but necessary decisions and prioritise what matters to them. in terms of specifics, you see business rates will be scrapped and replaced with a new property tax. what would that look like and how can you garden tea dash—mac guarantee not a windfall for major companies that can move the money around? we companies that can move the money

system of business taxation in that regard. it hasn't kept pace with changes we have seen in the economy and we want to level the playing field in the high streets that were so important in the pandemic and the online tech giants and we will look carefully at all the different options around that and how we might do it but i think the principle of how we take these decisions is recognising just how important high streets and family run businesses are to so many people. we have seen it during the pandemic of the tax system is not kept pace with the way the changes in the economy.— kept

seeing is clear priorities from sir keir starmer and we will see from rachel reeves today and labour is absently on the side of working people but we want to back small businesses as well as a crucial time. lots of people saying ahead of this conference that the labour party does not have any policies. it seems to be something when you approach because what rachel reeves was saying about the digital services tax as you mentioned, i going to see a lot more of that approach rather than simply criticising the conservatives? i criticising the conservatives? i think we have been doing that for some time that this is a real opportunity at confidence to do that. we wouldn't spend hundreds of millions of pounds on the vanity yachts of the prime minister and would put that into tackling crime was a real priority and of increasing concern across the country. we are setting up different choices we would be taking which are much more aligned i think with the priorities of the british people. what other announcements can rachel reeves make? andy mcdonald and angela rayner where aligned with the big package of workers rights question mark that seems to be ditching what tony blair and gordon

partnership building and all of that that brings together universities in innovation and businesses but working with governments. government is a big role to play in creating that environment where businesses can thrive and create jobs once more so i don't see them as mutually exclusive. i don't see them as mutually exclusive-— i don't see them as mutually exclusive. , ., ., ., exclusive. yes or

labour to tax people and £80,000 per year. we always watch out when with talk to politicians that if they say they have no plans to do something it is not a guarantee it will never happen. weasel words. keep an eye out. we will bring you that speech by rachel reeves around midday. new research has highlighted a stark difference in how climate change will hit rich and poor. it found that children born in high—income countries will experience twice as many extreme climate events as their grandparents, but children in low—income countries will see three times as many. climate change is already making inequality worse, as the bbc s population reporter stephanie hegarty has been finding out. the richest half of the world are responsible for 86% of greenhouse gas emissions, and the poorest half forjust 14%. but poorer people everywhere will be worst hit by the climate change caused by those emissions, for lots of reasons — and some of them not that obvious. like extreme heat. everything is exposed, the sun is beating down directly on you and it's just unbearable. during thejune heat wave in the us, scientists found that streets in poor areas where up to 3 to 10 c hotter because of too much asphalt, concrete, and the lack of trees. trees are life. the role they play in our ecosystem cannot be overstated. yvonne is the mayor of freetown, and has plans to plant 1,000,000 trees in the city. trees create shade and plants pull moisture up from the ground which has a cooling effect. peaople in areas with less vegetation have a 5% higher chance of dying of heat—related causes. researchers at the university of brussels found children born in high—income countries will see twice as many extreme weather events as their grandparents did, but for children in low—income countries it will be worse — they will see three times as many, and eight times as many heat waves. two thirds of children born today are born in these countries. mary vaughan has planted 250,000 trees so far, and it is notjust extreme heat they manage — they can also prevent flooding. when you cull the trees off a hill, water washes down when it rains, water does not seep down into the water reservoirs, the poor are definitely disproportionately impacted and they are the ones who are first hit, and they play the least role in many ways in contributing to this crisis. australia's prime minister, scott morrison, has said he might not attend the un climate conference in scotland this november. mr morrison told the west australian newspaper that he wanted to focus on dealing with covid in australia, adding that he had already "been on a lot of overseas trips this year" and "spent a lot of time in quarantine". australia is the highest per capita carbon emitter among the world's richest nations and has so far refused to endorse pledges made by many other developed nations. here's our australia correspondent shaimaa khalil. he said publicly in an interview that he is not going. it is true, there could be, you know, a lot to manage, especially if australia opens up around that time and there is a spike in covid cases, especially international travel, for the front line on this emergency, australia has had its worst bushfire season in 2019, 2020 and the australian prime minister and the government were heavily criticised at the time. firstly for downplaying the role of climate change and defying the science but also the prime minister going on a family holiday in hawaii at the peak peak the crisis. he has been heavily criticised for this progress —— at the peak of. this is a country still supporting the fossil fuel industry and very much relies quite heavily on coal for its energy. politically, it is very complex. it is a very fine balance that he is trying to strike, especially with a looming election. this is a country where many voters, especially in regional areas and coal mining areas see the talk about transition to renewables and climate or action as a threat and that will affect their votes. the prime minister is trying to strike a balance between his standing in the elections, which are around the corner, coming up early next year and his standing in the world with a lot of pressure. we heard from the foreign minister saying this does not mean australia is a no show, we are going to attend, this is important but the fact that the country which is at the very forefront of a climate crisis will not attend the biggest climate talks in years is indicative and will really be seen in australia notjust avoiding its commitments but also avoiding accountability. an earthquake has hit the greek island of crete, killing at least one person and injuring several others. the quake struck early in the morning, south—east of the capital, heraklion, where it was felt strongly. the national observatory of athens said it had a magnitude of 5.8. there are also reports of people being trapped in damaged buildings. after 18 months, the government furlough scheme — that's been helping to support the wages of people whose jobs have been hit by the covid lockdowns — comes to an end this week. as our business correspondent nina warhurst reports, many employees and business owners are still worried about the future. 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 third 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 billion at the last count. now that is around half of the entire budget for the nhs for the whole of the uk. if 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 in 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 cannot work and 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. online applications for northern ireland's high street vouchers scheme have opened. the £145 million scheme is designed to boost activity in businesses hardest—hit by the coronavirus pandemic, like non—essential retail and hospitality. everyone in northern ireland who is aged 18 and over can apply for a £100 "spend local" card to use in shops before the end of november. the cards are expected to arrive seven to ten days after you apply. the mcfly singer tom fletcher and his dance partner amy dowden test positive for covid and will miss next week's strictly come dancing. some people will be wondering why they only have to leave one week when last year nicola and cathy had to leave the competition entirely because of a positive case between them. and it is simply because the rules surrounding self isolation have changed. this time last year, we did not have the vaccine. this year the entire show had to continue during an entire lockdown with cases rising through the winter and it managed to come through with some of the highest viewing figures last year in years so it is not the way that want to start the series. and there is that row around those who are apparently unvaccinated. we have no idea who they are. so that is not out there, but in terms of the impact on the shore and the kind of wider repercussions, what is the latest? there are tabloid reports seeing several of the professionals do not want the vaccine but the bbc trying to see these reports are inaccurate. i would see it as a major issue in terms of what we have been having across the entire country, notjust an entertainment but generally. i know you have reported a lot on the bbc news channel about whether this should be mandatory vaccines and for this should ? might people be encouraged to do so. strictly is the other dimension because you are in the public eye and want to seen to be setting a good example. i do not think this is confined to strictly and will be applying to a lot of programming over the next few months in entertainment because at the end of the day it is up to the individual to choose rather than be told. the latest headlines coming up. low pressure is going to drive our weather this week with the exception of wednesday when high pressure moves across us. it will be cooler with spells of rain and blustery winds. today, the weather front is moving from the west towards the east, behind eight polar air but heavy rain and gusty winds, 4230 mph. some torrential rain before moving away, lingering across the east of scotland. showers coming in, some thundery, blustery winds will move east. temperatures between 12 and 18 c, five to 10 lower than yesterday in the north of scotland. overnight, clearskies, showers, heavy and thundery, a new system bringing further showers across the south west. cooler than recently for most of us. tomorrow, these fronts coming in from the atlantic, introducing showers, some merging to get longer spells of rain, the isobars tell us it will be another blustery day. some will start on a dry note with sunshine, the showers persisting across the north west, could be heavy and thundery, the showers from the south—west pushing northwards and eastwards, heavy at times and the chance of thunder and lightning. it is going to be blustery with temperatures of 13 to 18. on tuesday night the rain goes east before clearing and a ridge of high pressure builds in. on wednesday, rain in the east, moves away, things settle down, more sunshine, just a few showers in the west, still quite blustery, the winds will not ease until later in the day or for some overnight. the latter part of the week, low pressure driving our weather, weather fronts crossing as bringing rain at times, the isobars telling us it will be windy. it is going to be unsettled as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend with temperatures between 12 and 18 c. this is bbc news, the headlines... the government says there are no plans at the moment to bring in the army to drive tankers following days of panic buying at petrol stations. we always have a civil contingencies section in the army that is always on standby if needed, but we do not judge that is necessary at the moment. labour promises to scrap business rates in england to help struggling high street retailers as part of their plans for a major overhaul of business taxation. we will bring you the shadow chancellor's speech at any party conference right now. i chancellor's speech at any party conference right now.— chancellor's speech at any party conference right now. i learned that he and the young — conference right now. i learned that he and the young age _ conference right now. i learned that he and the young age that - he and the young age that conservative governments didn't care enough about schools like mine —— that conservative governments didn't care. mum and dad are both primary teachers that worked around the clock to ensure the children they thought could get the very best start in life. i'm very proud of that. but they had to do it in the face of an uncaring, short—sighted and out of touch conservative government. ijoined the labour party because i wanted to change all of that. and it is still what drives me today. after 1997, the first election that i could vote in, everything changed because labour made a difference. a labour government... applause. a labour government that drove the class sizes and hospital waiting times and lifted millions of pensioners out of poverty. a labour government that introduced the first ever national minimum wage. conference, that is what a labour government can do. and conference, we will do so again. and that is why it is such an honour to stand here today as your shadow chancellor under the leadership of keir starmer, with a clear mission to recognise and release a britain's a real wealth, the talent and effort of millions of people in every community across britain who contribute so much and can achieve great things, who deserve a bit more recognition and a government that is on their side. that is labour's vision, eye vision that lies at the heart of the new approach to the economy that i will set out today. i'm here to talk about the economy, but not perhaps in a way that you would expect. because our economy is notjust would expect. because our economy is not just lines would expect. because our economy is notjust lines on a graph, distant from most people's lives. our economy is about all of us, the places we live, the people we love. the work that we do. an intricate web in which we all play our part. i want to talk about those parts of the economy which form the very foundations of our communities. it is the businesses which give life to our high streets, the tens of millions of people who care for the young, old and disabled, her driver buses and trains and taxis to get us to work every morning, to make sure we are provided with gas, electricity and water, who keep us safe from harm, who make sure stock reaches our supermarket shelves. our schools, hospitals and care homes and are most vaunted of industries, they rest upon these foundations. they jobs they rest upon these foundations. theyjobs in the industries of the future will too. it is what i call the everyday economy. it is what keeps britain going and firmly beating heart of our community. even if too often that work is hidden from sight. conference, just look at the state of things under the tories. empty shelves our supermarkets, queues at petrol stations, businesses waiting weeks for materials. the nhs forced to ration blood tests. government having to issue reassurance that they can even keep the lights on. real anxiety forfamilies they can even keep the lights on. real anxiety for families and for business. and rishi sunak missing in action. this government... applause . this overnment is incom-etent and . this government is incompetent and in denial, careless _ . this government is incompetent and in denial, careless and _ . this government is incompetent and in denial, careless and chaotic- . this government is incompetent and in denial, careless and chaotic and - in denial, careless and chaotic and they are responsible for this mess. the tories have lost control. these problems, conference, have been exposed by the government's brexit deal, by their response to the pandemic, and bya deal, by their response to the pandemic, and by a failure to plan for either. but they are the long—term results of a government which doesn't care about the everyday economy. it doesn't even understand how it works. look at the pandemic. it was not the shareholders or i companies that got us through it, our kids are not banging pots and pans on the doorsteps by management consultants. no, what got us through was the millions who put their health at risk to do indispensable work, they care workers, the delivery workers, the cleaners, the supermarket workers, the staff in our nhs and in our schools and all of our front line services. and conference, i am delighted to bejoined in the line services. and conference, i am delighted to be joined in the front row by delegates who work in some of those industries. applause. all of you, to you and the millions more across the country who work tirelessly in the most difficult of circumstances, on behalf of our movement and our country, we say thank you. but we don't just say thank you. we promise you that a labour government would give you the respect you deserve. but what does this tory government do? a pay cut for key workers. £20 a week of universal credit. and now thejob workers. £20 a week of universal credit. and now the job tax. workers. £20 a week of universal credit. and now thejob tax. all of this as a food, fuel and energy bills are so. this government is out of touch. they have no idea about the challenges people are facing and they have no respect for the people have kept us going through this pandemic and keep our economy going. here's an alternative. on saturday, our deputy leader angela rayner set out a labour's new deal for all workers. zero—hour contract bands, fire and rehire out loud, sick pay increase, maternity pay, parental leave and flexible working from day one and a higher living wage with fair pay agreements going beyond the minimum. security, fairness, dignity and respect. that is what a labour government will do. but conference, it is notjust our key workers losing out after 11 years of tory misrule. i spent the best part of a decade working as an economist at the bank of england. my job was to analyse how the economy performed. so let's carry look at the uk's economic performance. even before the pandemic, growth rates falling behind our peers, a trade balance plummeting. the gaps between and within regions going. inequality rising. pay growth stalling. and any conservatives messing every one of the debt and deficit targets they set for themselves. —— the conservatives missing. with inflation rocketing now, people are feeling the squeeze at the supermarket checkouts, the petrol pump, and when their energy bills arrive as little luxuries a full further out of reach. we know that our national economy does well when everyday economy is thriving. let me tell you why. because money that goes into the pockets of working people is money spent in our shops in cafes and restaurants. creating growth and bringing shared prosperity. if we want to drive a britain's positivity —— productivity, it is notjust a few firms at the top, but about all of our businesses. large and small who need to be feeling the benefits of new technologies and investment. and when everyday economy is neglected, it creates insecurity, which leaves as exposed when a crisis hits. let's look at the united states. they are enjoying the strongest recovery of any major economy built on the knowledge that wealth does notjust trickle down from the top, but comes from the bottom up under the middle out. but to the tories, theyjust don't get it. instead of unlocking all of the untapped potential in every community, their instinct is to hold on to power and outsource responsibility to their corporate friends. to put short—term savings ahead of briton's long—term economic security. to ignore inconvenient truths coming from employers as well as our trade unions. and to treat elected local regional and national leaders with utter contempt. applause. because of tory ministers think they arrogantly know better than all of them. and they have the goal to make working people foot the bill for their failings are goal to make working people foot the bill for theirfailings are —— the gall. we need to do things differently, to build a recovery thatis differently, to build a recovery that is strong and sustained and felt in every part of britain. keeping wealth in our communities. labour's approach will be based on working together with businesses, workers and public bodies pulling together in a national endeavour to rebuild britain and seize the opportunities of the future. it is what labour's plan to buy, make and sell more in britain is all about. using all tools that government is possible to support businesses in this country, bringing jobs back to betting, starting at the government's supply chain chaos, and not least, cleaning up the tory�*s brexit mess. so believe me when i say i am more than happy to take on the tories when it comes to economic competence because i know we can win. this isn't to leap into the unknown. this isn't to leap into the unknown. this isn't to leap into the unknown. this is common sense. why tory government in westminster millions on the failing test and trace programme, the welsh government led by mark drakeford a working contact and tray system by working with local health leaders. that is the new approach, the spirit of partnership —— test and trace system. that is how we build that stronger everyday economy. last year, the government ripped up its own industrial strategy. just when it was needed most to shape the future of british industry after brexit. labourwill lead future of british industry after brexit. labour will lead a new area of industrial strategy, working hand in hand with trade businesses —— era. this is about helping businesses lead the world and growing high—tech industries like life sciences, electric cars and renewable energy. but we will do something that has never been done before. we will have industrial strategies for the overlooked industries that make—up our everyday economy. sectors which never before had been the... like hospitality, retail and our care sector. the steps that i am outlining today represent an approach that is unapologetically pro— worker and unapologetically pro— worker and unapologetically pro—business. this will mark a step change. ii unapologetically pro-business. this will mark a step change.— will mark a step change. if you watchin: will mark a step change. if you watching is _ will mark a step change. if you watching

approach means we need to look again at how our- channel. a fresh approach means we need to look again at how our tax . need to look again at how our tax system works. good public services have to be paid for, but how we pay for them is a test of our values. today i want to share the principles that lie behind our approach to taxation. first, we will make the taxation. first, we will make the tax system fairer. ensuring that the burden is notjust falling on the wages of working people, but that those at the top pay their fair share too. conference, how can it possibly be right that a police constable on £27,000 a year should be taxed at 32p on the pound, but someone making many times more from buying and selling stocks and shares should payjust 20p on the pound? that will not stand under labour. applause i pledge that as chancellor i will not balance the books on the back of working people. here is our second principle. we will bring a laser focus to efficiency in our tax system. hundreds of different tax breaks, some are important but too many simply provide for those who can provide the best advice and added together they cost more than the entire nhs budget so we will look at every single tax break and if it doesn't deliver for the economy or the taxpayer we will scrap it. full and a couple we will scrap. under the conservative party private equity bosses pay a lower rate on their bonuses than their workers do on their wages and that is indefensible and we would scrap it. and here is another. right now private schools enjoy charitable status which makes them exempt both from business rates and from vat. at a cost to taxpayers of 1.7 billion pounds every year. but confidence, here's the truth. private schools are not charities. and so we will end that exemption and for that money straight into our state schools, state schools like the one i went to. conference, that is what a labour government will do. and he lets out a third principle, we will support our high streets. every single business as a labour of love and a product of determination that gives life to our everyday economy. we have faced huge adversity in the last year and many are struggling right now with the cliff edge of rates relief coming up in march. four out of five retail businesses are warning they may have to close unless the government acts and so today we are calling on government to freeze business rates next year, increase the threshold for small business rates relief giving small and medium—sized businesses in all sectors are discount next year. and conference, to pay for those measures the government should increase the digital services tax to 12% in the next year. to make sure online companies who have thrived during this pandemic pay their share of taxes too. but the truth is our whole system of business taxation is not fear, and it's not fit for purpose. how can it be when bricks and mortar high street businesses are taxed more heavily than online giants? high street businesses pay over a third of business rates despite making up nearly 15% of our overall economy. but when the revenues of amazon went up by nearly £2,000,000,000 last year how much did their taxes go up by? less than 1%. if you can afford to lie to the moon you can afford to pay your taxes here on planet earth. ? mike fly to the moon. so we will level the playing field and ease the burden on bricks and mortar businesses. labourwill burden on bricks and mortar businesses. labour will take the bold action needed to support those businesses and make sure every community can enjoy a thriving high street. we will oversee the biggest overhaul of business taxation in a generation. sol overhaul of business taxation in a generation. so i can announce today that the next labour government will scrap business rates altogether. and here is our guarantee. the system that will replace it will incentivise investment, promote entrepreneurship, reward businesses that move into empty premises and no public service or local authority will lose out from those changes. but most of all, it will make our system of business taxation fear for the 21st—century. together, these principles of taxation, pricing fairness, efficiency and support for business, comprise our approach to funding our public services. one which will support hard work, enterprise and adaptability, recognising the value of work, demanding efficiency, supporting private high streets. conference, that this was a labour government will do. i want to make one thing abundantly clear. we cannot have a return to the failed approach of austerity. it wouldn't deliver growth and it would be a devastating for our public services. the next labour manifesto will set out a plan to raise living standards and opportunities across britain but we cannot tolerate waste when it comes to public spending, especially when it comes to money wasted on outsourcing companies so i promise you that the next labour government will carry out the biggest wave of in sourcing our public services in a generation. during the pandemic, £2,000,000,000 spent on government contracts that were awarded to friends and donors of the conservative party. conference, let's review some of the highlights of the tory pandemic outsourcing bonanza. £90,000,000 to one firm that had donated £400,000 to the conservative party. not a bad return on your investment, is it? £150,000,000 to our financial services firm to produce 50,000,000 facemasks that couldn't even be used. £350,000,000 to a company employing a sitting conservative mp for test kits that had to be recalled and £30,000,000 to the pub landlord of matt hancock. and every single one of those checks signed by rishi sunak. conference, that is not what a labour government would do. so i say today to those who have covid secured contracts but are to deliver, i give you notice we want our money back. dash—mac who have secured covid contracts but have failed to deliver. we will set up a team to go through every line of every field contract and we are value is not delivered clawback every period of tax dash—mac every piece of taxpayers money we can because that money does not belong in the pockets of the consent of party, it belongs in our police force and our schools and our national health service. that is what a labour government will do. we have a duty to pay careful attention to how public money is spent, not for the sake of it but because it is a question of respect. i know how hard people work for their wages and how carefully they manage their money. they rightly expect government to treat their money with the same respect and it is about respect for our public services because we know the transformational difference it can make. so we will bring an absolute commitment to value for taxpayers money for every pound we spend and every policy we implement. but we won't stop there. the last labour government granted operational independence to the bank of england. it was a powerful and lasting contribution to britain's long—term economic security. and in 2010 george osborne printed the independent office for budget responsibility. it is thanks to them we know that the tories have missed every one of the debt and deficit targets so thanks, george, will keep that one. the next labour government. i don't think george osborne has ever had a clap at labour party conference before. the next labour government will make its own contribution to britain's economic architecture. today i can announce labour will create a new office value for money. it will be tasked with keeping a watchful eye on how public money is spent and equipped with meaningful powers so that no government is allowed to mark its own homework. i do not take lightly the responsibility to see that public money is spent well and that public money is spent well and that public money is spent well and that public finances are kept under control. let's be honest, that will involve difficult choices for me and for my colleagues. we will not shrink from those choices. because growth, strong public finances and socialjustice must be built on firm foundations. where the tories have brought us ballooning debt, supply chain mayhem and spiralling inflation we embrace fully our role as the party of long—term economic stability, a secure public finances and of economic growth. so with me in this role, labour won't be making promises we can't keep our commitments we can't pay for. that is why we will put in place fiscal rules that will bind the next labour government to ensure we always spend wisely and keep debt under control. so that we have the means to transform schools, hospitals and communities and pay for investment in the new industries and jobs our country desperately needs. that is what a labour government will do. now, of course, value for money means when and we are not to spend but also means knowing when and where to invest, to prevent far greater costs further down the line. there is no better example of this than in the case of climate breakdown. the office for budget responsibility is clear. the greatest cost of our public finances will be if we delay and let the costs mount up for future generations to pay. the lame in something else as well. it means missing out on the opportunities for british businesses to grow and lead the world. and to make sure more of those good jobs of the future are based here. this is all part of our plan to buy, make and sell more in britain. we will work across industries to tackle climate change, putting fairness alongside our environmental obligations and ensure that solutions are developed with workers and trades unions, not imposed upon them. i as chancellor will not shock a responsibility to future generations. nor do no delay. labour will meet the challenge head on and seize the opportunities of the green transition. let me tell you is today what i would do is your chancellor. invest in good jobs in the green industries of the future is, diggerfactories to build batteries for electric vehicles, i thriving a hydrogen industry, offshore wind with turbines actually made in britain, planting trees and building flood defences, keeping homes warm and getting energy bills down. good newjobs and communities throughout britain. in other words, protecting and strengthening our everyday economy. and to make this a reality, to unlock that potential and protect our planet for future generations i can announce today labour climate investment pledge. an additional £28,000,000,000 of capital investment in our country is green transition for each and every year of this decade. i will be a responsible chancellor, i will be a responsible chancellor, i will be britain's first green chancellor. conference, that is what a labour government will do. applause. friends, i was born under the

reeves addressing the labour party conference, getting a very warm reception from delegates there as she outlined how labour would deal with the tax system and outlining some considerable changes that she would make as chancellor. she said she would be the first green chancellor. let's go to ian watson in brighton listening to that speech along with us. ian, some significant announcements there. some of it we had heard previously, being discussed in the run—up to that speech but other things we had not heard. ., . speech but other things we had not heard. .. , .., speech but other things we

thought was the best at last, branding yourself as the country's first green chancellor if she is elected, £20 billion a year or renewable industries every year or renewable industries every yearfor year or renewable industries every year for the next decade. year or renewable industries every yearfor the next decade. questions about where that money is coming from but she says she is prepared to pay for that and would make britain a world leader. green sometimes means are na ve as well. she wants to make sure labour are not seen as that and wants to emphasise that labour would be a government that would spend wisely. she mentioned that phrase several times. she also had some policy announcements to back it up so, for example, there is going to be a new spending watchdog which will be introduced alongside the office for budget responsibility and they take a look at any spending plans are projects that if they get out of hand they could wave a big red flag. she wants to say that labour can be trusted with people's money and put that in context with the current cost of living. same people have to work to look after the cash they would expect any national government to do the same. we had pre—trail business announcement as well, but not much detail on what she would put in its place as yet. but she said initially, of course she would increase the tax, effectively a windfall tax so that taxes would fall on medium—size and small enterprises. so improving labour's business credentials after opening it package of rights for workers. she was very keen to play to the crowd to some extent. she is sometimes seen as quite dry but she wanted to get a good reaction from the crowd. some of the things i got the crowd. some of the things i got the biggest cheers where that private schools are not charities, that got a big cheer really very much playing to the base of labour party membership there saying it would have to be business rates before they were abolished and having a pop at amazon as well. this was to underline her pledge to tax fairly if in power but saying if you can fly to the moon, you afford to play your taxes here on earth. that was a pop at the founder of amazon, jeff bezos. she also said she would not balance the books on the back of working people. when it came to some of the policy detail, that is something we will have to wait a little longer for so will stop she did not mention what labour would do an income tax at all and i was speaking to a member of her treasury team before the speech and she said, labour had no plans to increase income tax. if that is the case, it would mean ditching a proposal increased on those earning more than £80,000 a year which labour fought the last election in 2099 as well. it is interesting that she came ready with policy and some alternatives to what the government is currently doing because one of the criticisms from inside and outside the labour party as they had very little say in terms of positive vision and they really have to break through this week when they can command an audience.— through this week when they can command an audience. a government minister has said there are currently no plans to bring the army in to fuel stations where supplies are low. oil companies will be allowed to work together so that petrol supplies can reach the areas where they are needed most following recent panic buying at the pumps. competition laws will be suspended, so rival companies can identify where supplies are lowest. a shortage of lorry drivers has caused problems for a range of industries in recent months, from supermarkets to fast food chains. the environment secretary george eustice says panic buying is to blame for queues and shortages and urge people to fill up their vehicles as normal. he said ministry of defence trainers were being drafted in to clear backlog hdd test but said there are no plans for dashing hgv test there are no plans for the army to be involved. we have plenty of petrol in refineries and stores and the most important thing is people buy petrol as they normally would. there is not a shortage. there have been some shortages of hgv drivers getting petrol at forecourts but that is quite limited in the petrol sector. the cause of these current problems is that panic buying episode and the most important thing is for people to start buying petrol as they normally would. obviously those people who have a tendency to be anxious at these times, many will have filled their cars up and there does come a point, as we saw with the previous episode of panic buying during the pandemic and food, when people settle down, get used to it and return to life as normal again. the quicker people get back to that, the better. there is no shortage of petrol and refineries are storage and the only reason we do not have a petulant forecourt is that people are buying petrol when they do not need it. —— we do not have petrol at forecourts.

have i got somebody for my pets? it is not a normaljob where come five o'clock at night, thejob is not done, leave it, go home, someone else will do it. if you run out of hours you're stuck at nine hours. it is way more difficult than it has been made out to be. we are after 18 months, the government furlough scheme — we are eme — that's been helping to support the wages of people whose jobs have been hit by the covid lockdowns — comes to an end this week. as our business correspondent nina warhurst reports, many employees and business owners are still worried about the future. 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 nine million people, that's about a third 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 billion 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, he will be back as a driver at manchester airport. but just 90%,. as a driver at manchester airport. butjust 90%,. in as a driver at manchester airport. butjust 90%,.— butjust 90%,. in one weight has been very good _ butjust 90%,. in one weight has been

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. let me bring you some comments from tenmac that the petrol crisis. these tenmac that the petrol crisis. these are the comments. _ tenmac that the petrol crisis. these are

spokesman has said the government will look at all options, adding we will look at all options, adding we will take all preparatory measures necessary should they be required. it also denied it was blaming the public for petrol stations running dry after george eustice, the environment secretary, said people were buying fewer when he did not need it. the prime minister said we did not blame the public, we understand people's anxiety that is why we are doing everything possible to reassure people that stocks are secure. the approach which will have the most significant in that pact is for people to return to their routine behaviours he said. the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, steve barclay, will be chairing a meeting this afternoon to discuss the problems. new research has highlighted a stark difference in how climate change will hit rich and poor. it found that children born in high—income countries will experience twice as many extreme climate events as their grandparents, but children in low—income countries will see three times as many. climate change is already making inequality worse, as the bbc s population reporter stephanie hegarty has been finding out. the richest half of the world are responsible for 86% of greenhouse gas emissions, and the poorest half forjust 14%. but poorer people everywhere will be worst hit by the climate change caused by those emissions, for lots of reasons — and some of them not that obvious. like extreme heat. everything is exposed, the sun is beating down directly on you and it's just unbearable. during the june heat wave in the united states, scientists found that streets in poor areas where up to 3 to 10 c hotter because of too much asphalt, concrete, and the lack of trees. trees are life. the role they play in our ecosystem cannot be overstated. yvonne is the mayor of freetown, and has plans to plant 1,000,000 trees in the city. trees create shade and plants pull moisture up from the ground which has a cooling effect. peaople in areas with less vegetation have a 5% higher chance of dying of heat—related causes. researchers at the university of brussels found children born in high—income countries will see twice as many extreme weather events as their grandparents did, but for children in low—income countries it will be worse — they will see three times as many, and eight times as many heat waves. two thirds of children born today are born in these countries. mary vaughan has planted 250,000 trees so far, and it is notjust extreme heat they manage — they can also prevent flooding. water does not seep down into the water reservoirs, the poor are definitely disproportionately impacted and they are the ones who are first hit, and they play the least role in many ways in contributing to this crisis. in germany, the social democrat party has claimed a clear mandate to govern after preliminary results in yesterday's parliamentary elections put them narrowly ahead of the its leader, olaf scholz says he would seek to form a coalition with the parties that came third and fourth the greens and the free democrats. for more on this let's go now to david eades in berlin. hello and welcome to berlin where the leaders of germany's two their candidate for chancellor, olaf scholz, has been pushing the case to be the only party worthy of forming a coalition. their lead over the the centre right christian democrats, the party of angela merkel, may be slim, but it is a party which has just been handed its worst ever result in a national election. let's have a look at the breakdown. according to the german electoral commission the centre left spd are on 25.7% with the centre right conservatives cdu/csu on 24.1% of the votes. that is a big fall for them. if you want to get a majority together you have to get over that 50% threshold so both of those parties could look at the next two, the greens and the very pro—business free democrats. the liberal party who would become the coalition partners. i'm nowjoined by imke henkel, german journalist now lecturer in digitaljournalist at birkbeck university. i think it is a surprisingly clear result. it was very narrow. at the beginning of the election the poll they had right after the ballots were closed they were head—to—head — both on 25%. and during the evening, it turned out that spd had a lead of roughly ten seats. it is tremendously difficult to see how it will turn out. if you listen to the discussion of the leaders two hours after the close of the voting, you can see there already seemed this coalition that olaf scholz wants to go to between the greens and the fpd — the liberals and his spd. we are seeing some pictures of olaf scholz lapping up what he is painting it as a significant victory there. how would that change? if that is the way it goes, how would that change germany's perspective further afield? let's start relations with the uk to a centre—right government to a centre—left. would that change much? on traditional foreign policies, any switch very, very likely. so if it were to be a different outlook, of course. a centre—left government would have more difficulties with a centre—right government in the outlook of their political approach. olaf scholz and johnson could not be more different. traditionally, the uk, british politicians have very often misread german politicians. famously, david cameron and alsojohnson and also theresa may very miss read angela merkel. they always thought she will come out for us, she will support us. only because she has been some accommodating. that was a huge misunderstanding that the british too often held at the inability scratch my inability to think any multilateral international set—up. they always tried to solve them on a bilateral basis. that is interesting because olaf scholz said to us at the bbc a couple of days ago very keen to be a good partner at the uk, seeing great potential there. but what you're saying it does not matter what political hue the leader is in germany, the eu is always going to trump brexit britain. you have to see it far more soberly. german politicians will think what is any german interest and usually they will go for where are our allies who we trade with, who we have international relations with, towards united states, towards china, and of course, there might be cases where the uk is closely aligned with german interest, but usually it will be the eu because it's just a bigger block, it is so much more important for german interests. but that was always the case. that was also the case when britain was still in the eu. so there is sometimes a way to see as if germany wants to punish britain because it left the eu or... and i think it is more, it is a sense of great sadness, but now it is a shrug of the shoulders so if they want to go themselves, it is fine, but i think of course olaf scholz will be very much interested to have close, excellent relationship with britain. we are very close neighbours. no question about that. 0k. so to choose a french phase — plus ca change — of changing political direction, it will have to be steady as she goes in terms of uk and german relations. just let me pick your brains on one last thing and that is the timeframe. how long do you give it before we get a clear picture before we see the white smoke on what the next coalition government will look like? you know what, before the election i would have said angela merkel will give the new year's speech and will last into january or longer. after the outcome of yesterday, i think it will be shorter. i think it is, after all, when the dust has settled, it is surprisingly clear. the big difficulty — it might even happen before christmas. the big difficulties might be between the greens and the fdp because they are very much at opposite ends. they are very much aware that the huge changes or important thing is they are very much appealing to young voters. there is a huge potential where both are very much aware and this aligns them far more to the fpd than the cdp who appeals to all voters. they know they will need to find a compromise and a live quicker. i would give it before christmas. thank you very much indeed for that. just make the point, here we are september, october, november, december. four years ago, it took 171 days to get to some sort of coalition government, so... a very different situation. the spd was desperate not to go into a coalition again and then they had to. afair point. thank you very much indeed, a pleasure having you with those here on bbc news. joanna, it could be a long haul, but the starting blocks are clear. we know who is in pole position. now the weather, canned through the weekend we saw temperatures up into the '20s. a very different feel to our weather this week. at this low pressure to the north of the uk and associated where the front or clean off towards the east. that will be morning rain but through the rest of the afternoon we will be left with sunshine and plenty heavy showers in the north and west. fewer shares was raised in england and 18 or 19 but some of them will be heavy and some thunder and some surface water and roads with quite a lot of rain road's with quite a lot of rain falling on a short space of time lasting through tonight. eastern england avoiding most of those downpours. a colder night than recently. into tomorrow a rash of showers to start off in the west but they will merge into longer spells of rain but a clear crossing than wales. icy could feel quite heavy and will feel cooler than icy has but quite blustery as well. the government says it has no plans at the moment for the army to drive fuel tankers. there are still long queues at many petrol stations today, with many forecourts closed or running dry because of the tanker driver shortage, but for now the army is not being drafted in. we always have several contingencies sectioned, the army is always on standby should they be needed, but we do notjudge that is necessary at the moment. the government is urging people only to buy fuel when they need it. also this lunchtime — labour unveils its plans for the economy at the party's annual conference. rachel reeves promises to be the first green chancellor.
