Following five days of queues at Petrol Stations, many drivers across the uk are venturing out this morning with one question on their minds how difficult will it be to get fuel . Despite indications that the situation in some areas is easing, Military Personnel are being trained to drive tankers, so they they can help Supply Issues at Petrol Stations. About 150 british army Tanker Drivers are available, but a decision has yet to be taken whether they will be deployed. The situation is improving according to borisjohnson, who said people should be confident to go about their business, after days of queues and pump closures. The Opposition Labour Party said the government had let the country crash from crisis to crisis with leader sir keir starmer expected to highlight the issue in his key Conference Speech later. There have been brawls at some Petrol Stations as Driver Frustrations have boiled over. It follows warnings from some police and garage owners of scenes of violence at forecourts. The Petrol Retailers Association said there were early signs the pressure was starting to ease at the pumps. This report from ramzan karmali. The government has approved the training of Army Personnel to use fuel company tankers to take place over the next three days. This means they could be making deliveries to Petrol Stations by the end of the week. The move comes as some in the industry and government say there are signs of improvement but the picture across the country is still mixed. Am i relieved . Yes, absolutely because im a carer support worker. Iam very i am very relieved we have petrol here i need to work. If i dont have petrol to get around i cant earn money. The government and the industry want people to fill their tanks up normally but what does that mean . According to the Petrol Retailers Association before the driver before the crisis began a driver would typically spend 25 £30 on fuel per visit. Would typically spend 25 £30 on fuel per visit. Fuel per visit. During this long weekend that fuel per visit. During this long weekend that has fuel per visit. During this long weekend that has been fuel per visit. During this long weekend that has been way. Fuel per visit. During this long i weekend that has been way over fuel per visit. During this long weekend that has been way over that, double weekend that has been way over that, double if weekend that has been way over that, double if not more. If we can just get back to that £25 £30 then i think were going to see the equilibrium, the balance between supply and demand, start to improve every day as we go forward into this week. The problems at the forecourts over the weekend have highlighted the weakness in our supply chain. The challenge for government and business is to make sure there are enough deliveries in all industries during the run up to christmas. The uk business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng this morning said the situation was easing. I kwarteng this morning said the situation was easing. Kwarteng this morning said the situation was easing. I think the situation was easing. I think the situation clearly situation was easing. I think the situation clearly is situation was easing. I think the situation clearly Is Stabilising. If we look situation clearly Is Stabilising. If we look at situation clearly Is Stabilising. If we look at the inflows, the deliveries of petrol, they were matched deliveries of petrol, they were matched yesterday by the sales, so that means the situation Is Stabilising. I think people are behaving quite responsibly, actually, and i think people should buy petrol actually, and i think people should buy petrol as normal. Clearly we have buy petrol as normal. Clearly we have got buy petrol as normal. Clearly we have got the army on standby and preventative measures. We have tried to alleviate preventative measures. We have tried to alleviate the hgv Driver Shortage by relaxing visa rules. We are working by relaxing visa rules.

Last weekend there was an fuel sales of about 507 . Clearly no infrastructure can deal with a 500 uplift over the weekend. At all of those people who have filled up now have cars full of petrol and diesel and they are driving normally are many of them are probably still working from home so actually we may see the bizarre scenario where there is a dip in demand over the next few days because nobody has any where else to put their fuel. And days because nobody has any where else to put their fuel. Else to put their fuel. And what do ou think else to put their fuel. And what do you think of else to put their fuel.

Ditto, i am not sure the army and the talk of Military Drivers is particularly helpful. I think it does create a level of fear that it doesnt help, but in reality they are not really going to do much. 150 drivers being made available, it is not. We have 8500 Petrol Stations in the uk, not really going to make much of a dent in this and what is more important isjust the ongoing in this and what is more important is just the ongoing Replenishment Thatis is just the ongoing replenishment that is going day and night. Petrol tankers and tanker deliveries, it is a 24 hour, a week process, so trucks are getting onto site and i think over the weekend the figures were 80 of sites either work fully out of fuel or perhaps had petrol or diesel, i think that figure is down to 30 , so putting aside the potential for panic buying which nobody can predict, but on the supply chain i should say things should be and are getting back to normal. ~ should be and are getting back to normal. ,. , � , should be and are getting back to normal. , i. � , ,. ,. , normal.

Urging activists to unite to win the next election, it is expected he will launch an attack on borisjohnson over his handling of the pandemic and the fuel crisis. He is also anticipated to pledge to train thousands of teachers and cut waiting times for Mental Health services. The speech comes off the back of a series of rows over the conference. There have been clashes over the nationalisation of energy industries, Leadership Election Rules and the level of the minimum wage with a member of the Shadow Cabinet quitting in protest at sir keir� s stance on this as helen catt explains in this report which contains flashing images. Sir keir starmer is preparing for his big moment. This will be the first Conference Speeches given in person as Labour Leader. Hell use it to say that britain is facing Big Questions like how we emerge from the pandemic and deal with climate change. He is expected to say that politics needs to grow to meet the scale of the challenge and to accuse the government of falling short in its handling of the Fuel Shortages at Petrol Stations. The speech comes at the end of a Party Conference which has seen sir keir clash repeatedly with a left wing of his party. 0ne Shadow Minister resigned, a trade union ended its formal link to labour after more than 100 years. Sir keir starmer is also under pressure to attract back voters who have drifted away from labour and he is clear what the priority is. Whats more important to you . Unity or winning . Winning, winning a General Election. I didnt come into politics to vote over and over in parliament and lose and tweet about it. I came into politics to go into government to change millions of lives for the better. Aides say the speech will demonstrate how the party has changed and will be a clear indication that will never again go into an election with a manifesto that isnt a serious plan for government. Keir starmer will unveil some new policies too. He says labour will make sure anyone needing Mental Health treatment in england will get it within a month and he will pledge to take on thousands of extra teachers and increase the number of outstanding schools. The speech is also an opportunity for sir keir to tell voters what he stands for. He is expected to talk about his background, his values and the principles behind his politics. Its an opportunity many in the party hope he can seize. 0ur Political Correspondent chris mason is at the conference in brighton for us and hejoins me now.

It is a huge moment, a very significant couple of days, where effectively the leadership have tried to pack up into a box the legacy ofJeremy Corbyn, his predecessor. The shadow car are not working up like the other day, Andy Mcdonald, something of our row of the party and its priorities, perhaps unhelpful to keir starmer as he tries to make a pitch we are the conference walls that he is different has a leader. The biggest challenge any opposition faces is being noticed, being seen to be relevant in the challenge for keir starmer has been doubled by the pandemic coupled with the fact he is scraping his party of the canvas after its worst General Election defeat for the best part of a century.

New Research Shows that china hands out twice as Much Development money as the us and other major powers combined. American researchers from Aiddata Combed through Global Financial transactions and government records to reveal billions in chinas secret development spending. The new data shows an increasing number of Overseas Mega Projects Worth half A Billion Dollars or more. With the story, heres the bbc� s World Services asia pacific editor, celia hatton. A150 page report filled with hidden data that took us researchers for years to uncover. Its full of Hidden Information that the Chinese Government doesnt even have about its own lending. Namely, that china is bankrolling International Infrastructure projects, big things like bridges and ports, at twice the rate of the United States and other major powers. And the majority of that funding is being channelled through Chinese State banks. They are often issuing risky, high interest loans. 843 billion worth of funding spread across 165 countries. Here is a prime example. A 400 Kilometre Railway stretching from South West China across the border into neighbouring laos down to its capital. Its a complicated project requiring 75 tunnels and 62 bridges and its costing a lot 5. 9 billion. Laos is one of the poorest countries in the region and its shouldering most of the risk. Last year, laos had to sell off a 600 million chunk of its energy grid to pay its chinese creditors, all before the railway even starts operations. Loans like the laos one are often cloaked in confidentiality clauses, so researchers are concerned that the shaky financing behind such deals are often hidden from public view, even though ultimately it is the public that is going to be on the hook for repaying the mammoth debt to china owed by such mammoth projects. Japans Ruling Party Hasjust elected the former Foreign MinisterFumio Kishida as its new leader. It puts him on course to become the next Prime Minister of the worlds Third Largest economy. The poll among Party Members happened after the current Prime MinisterYoshihide Suga decided to stand down afterjust a year in the post. Mariko 0i has been watching events from singapore and has more now on what this will mean forjapan. He comes from a family of politicians. All the contenders come from families of politicians, it is becoming a bit like a Family Business injapan. As you said, he is a former Foreign Minister. He is known as a moderate liberal politician within the party. His critics, especially among voters would criticise that he is a bit bland and boring. But he has also been praised by his colleagues as honest so he had a lot of support from the parties lawmakers and members winning this vote. He is probably most well known for his anti nuclear Arms Movement and he was part of arranging the former us president barack 0bamas visit to hiroshima in 2016. When it comes to his economic policies, he has been a bit critical of the Economic Policy of the former Prime Minister shinzo abe, saying that it only made the rich richer and he wants to make sure that the wealth is fairly distributed. China, of course, was also high on the agenda during the leadership election. Even though he was very critical of china trying to export, in his words, its authoritative system Around The World, hes probably not as nationalistic as another candidate who had the backing of former Prime Minister shinzo abe. So, when it comes to foreign policies, we dont expect too many changes from the Current Administration of Yoshihide Suga. Fresh tensions have surfaced between britain and france over post brexit Fishing Rights.

Lava from the Erupting Volcano on spains La Palma Island has reached the sea, Officials Say its giving off toxic gas and theres a risk of further explosions. More now on our top story. After five days of disruption and queues at Petrol Stations across the uk, there are indications that the situation in some areas is easing. Military personnel are being trained to drive tankers, so they they can help Supply Issues at Petrol Stations, but a decision has yet to be taken whether they will be deployed.

We have this mismatch of supply and demand because of the Driver Shortage. And reaching the Petrol Stations and the super high demand we see the people desperate to fill up. It will take a little while to even out. So we have got enough supply in every location to satisfy that demand. At the first signs are that the situation is improving, even though it might not feel like that if you are currently queueing at a Petrol Station or desperate to find one to even join the queue.

Volunteer patients will be asked to sniff powerful odours such as coffee, rotten eggs and roses. The French Police commander in charge of Coastal Operations around calais has Accused Britain of Being Ungrateful for frances efforts to stop migrants crossing the channel. He says he will withdraw his forces if the home secretary, priti patel, carries out a threat to withhold millions of pounds that the uk has agreed to give french for increased security. More than 17,000 migrants have crossed the channel this year thats double last years total. More gene edited crops could soon be grown in england as the government plans to relax regulation. Gene editing, which alters plants less than genetic modification, was strictly controlled under eu rules. 0ur science correspondent, pallab ghosh, reports. It looks like any other tomato, but it has been genetically edited, so it produces more vitamin c. Under the current regulations, set by the European Union, its hard, if not impossible, to develop commercially in the uk. But the government wants to change the rules and have simple gene edited plants regulated in the same way as new varieties produced by traditional breeding methods. Gene edited crops have, potentially, so much to offer, in terms of agricultural sustainability and healthy food. Of course, nobody is arguing that they should not be regulated for safety and environmental compatibility. That goes without saying. Campaigners protested against genetically modified crops in the 1990s when they were first being tested out in fields. There were concerns then that they may not be safe to eat and might harm the environment. But gene edited crops are different, say the scientists. They have much smaller genetic changes and produce varieties that could have been developed by Traditional Cross Breeding within months rather than years. Gm crops are gm crops, whether they re gene edited or use older genetic modification techniques. I think people still want to see really good Safety Assessments for both human health and the environment, they want these products to be traceable and labelled, so they have a choice and that the products can be recalled, if anything goes wrong. Gene edited farm animals could be next. These pigs have had a gene removed that prevents them from getting a common form of lung disease. Todays announcement could mark the start of a new generation of genetically produced crops and animals. Pallab ghosh, bbc news. Britney spears could regain control of her Financial Affairs today when a court in los angeles decides whether to revoke an order which put her father and lawyers in charge. The 39 year old singer has long fought to overturn the so called Conservatorship Ruling, which has been in place for more than 13 years. Sophie long reports. With a taste of your lips, i want to ride youre toxic. Shes an international superstar, but since Britney Spears refused to perform until she gets her life back, her millions of fans have only seen her moves on instagram. We let the waters rise. Since her passionate plea for her conservatorship to end injune, there have been major developments. Look at that the star got engaged to fiance sam asghari. Hey ho, the conservatorship has got to go she was also granted the right to hire her own lawyer and a flurry of petitions have been filed by both sides, since. In a surprise move, jamie spears applied to end the conservatorship, stating all he wants is whats best for his daughter. Im glad progress is being made but we are going to keep the pressure on to make sure that he does follow through and step down. And not only that, that this conservatorship is terminated entirely. Last week, Britney Spears lawyer formally applied to do that, saying the star hopes it will be completely and inevitably terminated this autumn. Thank you very much. Thejudges ruling could put the conservatorship en route to termination, which would free britney and could also help others whove suffered or fear suffering from abuse of the system. Im autistic and all of my friends who are. Dealing with Mental Health issues, we fear every day that we are going to get locked up in a similar situation that britney is in. So many people ive talked to said she sounded just like me. It was that pain, it was that struggle, it was just that demand to be your own person. That individualism, it exists in all of us, and so she was speaking directly from the heart. And it was from all of our hearts. Oh, baby, baby, how was i supposed to know . But there may be other things that werent right. Jamie spence has been accused of hiring a Security Firm to monitor his daughters phone and bug her home. Doing so without her consent is illegal in california. Its not known whether Britney Spears herself will attend virtually or in person or at all but herfans and members of the Free Britney Movement will be outside court in force.

Seema malhotra, Shadow Business Minister on the front bench for labour. What do you want to hear from on the front bench for labour. What do you want to hearfrom sir keir starmer today . We want to see a really positive vision for our country, we have had years of difficult politics, real challenges for businesses and families during the pandemic. People want to hear something positive about where the country needs to go and how we can think about a successful future with an opportunity for everybody and children who have suffered through the pandemic.

Andy mcdonald left the Shadow Cabinet and be bakers union affiliated to the party more than a century walking away and some criticism from the gmb. A critic might say that labours fighting is like rats in a sack and others make a point this is a necessary battle for sir keir starmer to say i am not Jeremy Corbyn that we have moved on from that era. How do you read it . A fleeting viewer might think this is a movement that is deeply divided. I have come to conference for many years that i cannot remember a single conference where there wasnt a battle for some area of policy stock that is how we also use conference, which is a place for robust debate. But we are turning a corner. This is a conference about saying we are really focused on the challenges that people are facing in their day to day lives. The challenges that businesses are facing, coming out of the pandemic. We are not Out Of The Woods yet. There is a lot more to do to make sure we secure the recovery for businesses and families. We are in the heart of a crisis as well with the heart of a crisis as well with the fuel crisis, gas prices, food prices going up and the Supply Chain Crisis we are seeing. This government really has been asleep at the well and not had its eye on the ball whether challenges are today. We need to show we can respond to those challenges asleep at the wheel. When people see the real debate at conference and if you have been here on the fringe as well, that has been the story of this conference, a positive and important time in which we are laying out the economy of the future and how we need to respond to the challenges we face. ~ need to respond to the challenges we face. , i.

New Research Shows that china hands out twice as Much Development money as the us and other major powers combined. A trip to the pub or restaurant in the uk could be more expensive from this weekend and its all because of changes to vat. The rate of vat was cut from 20 to 5 during the pandemic to support the Hospitality Industry and try to protect jobs. And businesses will have to pay the higher rate of 12. 5 from october. Ben thompson, our business corresponded, is at a pub in london. Your point on Saturday Night, your Chicken Roast on sunday could cost a little bit more from this weekend. That is because some of the tax changes that were brought in to give business a bit of a boost in the pandemic have started to rise again. It will be a phased and gradual increase but nonetheless, there are concerns it could hit one of the industry that has been hardest hit by covid. As my colleague, kd austin has been finding out. Kitchens like these have been up and running again for a few months now but the financial shock of lockdowns means business isnt quite back to normal.

We pay vat, or value added tax, and a wide range of the goods and services that we buy and the standard rate is 20 . Injuly, last year, the Chancellor Cut Vat to 5 forfood year, the Chancellor Cut Vat to 5 for food and year, the Chancellor Cut Vat to 5 forfood and drink year, the Chancellor Cut Vat to 5 for food and drink served year, the Chancellor Cut Vat to 5 forfood and drink served in restaurants, cafes and pubs for accommodation and attractions. From october, that rate rises to 12. 5 before returning to 20 next april. Firms dont have to pass on the lower rate to customers by lowering prices and many havent, saying they have needed to pocket the difference to stay afloat.

A previously unreleased audio tape featuring the Words And Music Ofjohn Lennon has sold at auction in copenhagen for almost 60,000. The recording was made more than 50 years ago by four Danish Schoolboys while the former beatle and his wife yoko ono were spending a couple of weeks in denmark. The bbc� s tim allman reports. From lovable mop top. Power to the people. To committed peace campaigner. John lennon still fascinates. More than a0 years after his death. He took his activism all Around The World, including a remote corner of the jutland coast. There, he was interviewed by four Danish Schoolboys, desperate to give peace a chance. But how do you think people like me can help you making the peace Around The World . If you cant think of any idea yourself, imitate what we do. Just try and sit down and think, what can i do locally . Here is the tape. 51 years later, that audio tape, all 33 minutes of it, was up for sale at auction. 370,000, lam selling now, 370,000. And one of those Danish Schoolboys, a little bit older now, to witness the occasion. Translation i wasnt expecting anything, i didnt know how high the price would go but it was above the estimate, so that was nice. The tape also includes a never before released song, called radio peace, although, for now, the london estate seems to want to keep that under wraps.

Good morning and welcome to bbc news. Sir keir starmer will promise to get labour Back In Business when he addresses his partys conference in person for the first time as leader. Urging activists to unite to win the next election, it is expected he will lodge an attack on borisjohnson over his handling of the pandemic and the fuel crisis. He is also anticipated to pledge to train thousands of teachers and cut waiting times for Mental Health services. The speech comes on the back of a series of rows over the conference. There have been clashes over the nationalisation of energy industries, Leadership Election Rules and the level of the minimum wage with a member of the Shadow Cabinet quitting in protest at sir keir� s stance on this. Sir keir starmer is preparing for his big moment. This will be the first Conference Speeches given in person as Labour Leader. Hell use it to say that britain is facing Big Questions like how we emerge from the pandemic and deal with climate change. He is expected to say that politics needs to grow to meet the scale of the challenge and to accuse the government of falling short in its handling of the Fuel Shortages at Petrol Stations. The speech comes at the end of a Party Conference which has seen sir keir clash repeatedly with a left wing of his party. One Shadow Minister resigned, a trade union ended its formal link to labour after more than 100 years. Sir keir starmer is also under pressure to attract back voters who have drifted away from labour and he is clear what the priority is. Whats more important to you . Unity or winning . Winning, winning a General Election. I didnt come into politics to vote over and over in parliament and lose and tweet about it. I came into politics to go into government to change millions of lives for the better. Aides say the speech will demonstrate how the party has changed and will be a clear indication that will never again go into an election with a manifesto that isnt a serious plan for government. Keir starmer will unveil some new policies too. He says labour will make sure anyone needing Mental Health treatment in england will get it within a month and he will pledge to take on thousands of extra teachers and increase the number of outstanding schools. The speech is also an opportunity for sir keir to tell voters what he stands for. He is expected to talk about his background, his values and the principles behind his politics. Its an opportunity many in the party hope he can seize. Lets close now to chris mason. How much does this big speech from him today to him personally for his leadership and also the partys electoral chances, the next General Election . ,. , �. , election . Yes, good from brighton.

This is a really important moment for him to do just that. Addressing his Party Activists for the first time in person and conference but whilst activists measure, the real audience that matters is beyond his conference was in the country so we can expect him to do a big introduction as to he is and then also make the point we have hurt throughout this conference about how he is reshaping the party away from the era ofJeremy Corbyn that has come about as those on the left. We have seen the Biggest Union this associate party, a row involving the resignation of andy Shadow Cabinet minister and other trade unions making their points which are not entirely full of endorsement. Take a look at this from the gmb union. It must ultimately happen is that we are all it must ultimately happen is that we are all paying Higher Energy bills for the are all paying Higher Energy bills for the jobs that were promised and not have for the jobs that were promised and not have been delivered.

Those who come along and make the arguments about what they think is important within the party and do often a lot of the hard work of the political party, the unglamorous party, serving envelopes, knocking on doors, persuading people and a street level.

A challenge for him to come. Because, although that speech from the Labour Leader to live when he begins. A government minister has denied there is a shortage of fuel. Only tigers are on standby and soldiers will begin driving the next dose. Sir keir starmer said the government had led country crush from crisis to crisis. There have been brawls at some Petrol Stations as drivers frustrations have boiled over. The Petrol Retailers Association said there were early signs the pressure was starting to ease at the pumps. The government has approved the training of Army Personnel to use fuel company tankers to take place over the next three days. This means they could be making deliveries to Petrol Stations by the end of the week. The move comes as some in the industry and government say there are signs of improvement but the picture across the country is still mixed. Am i relieved . Yes, absolutely because im carer support worker. I need to work. If i dont have petrol to get around i cant earn money. The government and the industry want motorists to fill up their tanks normally but what does that mean . According to the Petrol Retailers Association before the crisis began a driver would typically spend between 25 and £30 on fuel per visit. During this long weekend its been double, if not more. If we can just get back to that £25 £30 then i think were going to see the equilibrium, the balance between supply and demand, start to improve every day as we go forward into this week. The problems at the forecourts over the weekend have highlighted the weakness in our supply chain. The challenge for government and business is to make sure there are enough deliveries in all industries during the run up to christmas. Im joined now by brian madderson, chair of the Petrol Retailers Association. The government says the situation Is Stabilising but give us your update . It is very mixed across the country. We are currently compiling daily surveys of 100 sites and i think they are reporting that there have been more deliveries, which is good news. But as first as the deliveries come in, there are people queueing to fill up their cars and take that out again. Les kiss, there is less panic buying, but still, very strong and unusually heavy demand. To see towards the end disposing out when towards the end disposing out when to filling stations operators have reported early had fewer sites than they had yesterday, which is encouraging.

We would certainly welcome that and i think all of the other leaders government and industry opening to try to resolve the situation, notjust in the short term because that would be very difficult, and by that, i mean in the to, but in the medium term, leading up to christmas and beyond, i would hope that we would get sufficient drivers back into the system to allow all the forecourts to restock and then we got a good position, a superposition Going Forward thank you very much for your time today. While some people still feeling that theyjoin cues at filling stations and ignore government messages not to panic by . Let us speak to a psychologist now. Wonder, has covid 19 activated something in us and made people more responsive to crises, whether real or perceived and is that something we are seeing playing out right now . Playing out right now . Certainly the mortality threat playing out right now . Certainly the mortality threat that playing out right now . Certainly the mortality threat that covid19 playing out right now . Certainly the mortality threat that covid19 has l mortality threat that covid 19 has placed us under has activated, mobilised feelings of insecurity and a sense of survival and because so many people actually use their cars for their work, for their livelihoods, to many and put food on the table, the threat they might not have access to the product, then again activates that fear that we are not in control of our lives and that actually, there is a real panic going on. The problem is that ten days ago, the government said, dont panic and in the world of psychology, we have something called ironic process theory which is if you tell people not to do something, thatis you tell people not to do something, that is the one thing mr doing. Ironic process theory, i am making a note of that because that is really interesting. I was about to talk to you about that because it generally when we are told to do something, it makes us want to do that. If when we are told to do something, it makes us want to do that. Iii when we are told to do something, it makes us want to do that. Makes us want to do that. If i said to ou, makes us want to do that. If i said to you. Dont makes us want to do that. If i said to you, dont think makes us want to do that. If i said to you, dont think of makes us want to do that. If i said to you, dont think of pink to you, dont think of pink elephants, that is the only thing think about is what we have seen is that the word panic gets mentioned by the government and suddenly theres the moment when people think, maybe i should be panicking. Dont forget we are very imitative creatures, we learn about the world through copying other peoples behaviour, whether that is copying our parents about high to tie shoelaces, orsiblings. Our parents about high to tie shoelaces, or siblings. As a result when missy strung behaviour from people, like queueing, we tend to lean into that and think, maybe i should do that, they must know something i dont, which is why peoplejoin cues even something i dont, which is why people join cues even though they dont know what they offer. We have seen because we have heard reports of knives being seen on forecourts, bust ups where people think others have jumped the queue, there bust ups where people think others havejumped the queue, there is bust ups where people think others have jumped the queue, there is also something quite primitive about whether you think that someone else is going to get one over on new and we have this implicit sense of fairness and justice in our lives and everything others will benefit our expense, then we really panic. In terms, we saw people acting for the collective good for the most part we seem to be seeing now is people thinking about their individual needs rather than the collective good because if you are being told that if people just acted normally and both petrol or diesel anomaly, then there will be plenty to go around for everyone without the need for queueing . Yes to go around for everyone without the need for queueing . To go around for everyone without the need for queueing . Yes but we also did see the need for queueing .

In america it was a powdered milk. We do still have a tendency to slip back into very primitive behaviour, to say, what can i do to keep myself safe . So, yes, we were very supportive of each other, we reached out, we clubbed for the killers, we did things that were part of the collective and were positive, but underneath that was a great sense of unease about what this new phenomenon this pandemic and what we saw there was that ultimately, we always tend to go back to some really basic primitive behaviour which is based around the survival instinct. , , instinct.

Mr cousins be sentenced at the end of the two day hearing. Correspondent is at the old bailey and tell us what has been said so far today . Said so far today . Absolutely horrendous said so far today . Absolutely horrendous details said so far today . Absolutely horrendous details have said so far today . Absolutely| horrendous details have been outlined to the court. Sarah everards parents are here at the old bailey. When cousins is in the dog, he has had his head bowed for much of the hearing survive this morning but we to encourage is the opening case by the crown prosecution because of course, when cousins pleaded guilty to those three charges of kidnap, rape and murder of a Sarah Everard and so we have not had a trial so this is the court for Sarah Everards parents are tricky those details which must be absolutely incredible and difficult to hear the prosecutor opened by saying that Sarah Everard was my disappearance on the evening of the 3rd of march to one of the most widely publicised missing persons investigation is this country has seen. He went on to say that whilst it is impossible to summarise what the defendant did to Sarah Everard injust five summarise what the defendant did to Sarah Everard in just five words, summarise what the defendant did to Sarah Everard injust five words, if it had to be done, it would be more appropriate to do so is deception, kidnap, rape, strangulation and fire. The prosecutor also outlining some details that we havent heard before and the court has been seeing cctv images of a Sarah Everard on that night when she was from her home in brixton, went to a friends house in the Clapham Junction area and the court has been seen images and the court has been seen images and cctv footage of her making that walk. It has also seen as well in the last few moments she came across wayne cousins and the court has heard that on that day, rain has been off duty. He had just finished a shift that morning. He made his way, driving around the prosecution said, going across the river couple of times and the prosecutor said, we say that circular route taken by wayne and areas in which he was driving as consistent with him hunting for a loan young female to kidnap and rape, which is precisely what he did. The footage that the court has just been shown is cctv waned under Sarah Everard on the pavement. Remembershe waned under Sarah Everard on the pavement. Remember she had just left a friends house after dinner and the footage, the prosecution say, shows wayne showing his Sarah Everard his warm code and immediately after that, he handcuffed her. The court also heard that wayne had been on camogie duties injanuary of that year so he was well aware of the language that was needed to be used if they saw someone who was potentially breaching those covid 19 restrictions. As i say, sarahs family are in court listening to the most distressing details of what happened to her on that night when wayne cousins, a Police Officer at the time, should have been protecting her, raped her, herand murdered her. He took her body in a hardcore to ashford in kent and dumped her body there. The sentence hearing will take place over the next couple of days. We are expecting to hear victim impact statements from sarahs family later on this afternoon and we expect the judge to hand down sentences some point tomorrow.

A bit of giant killing going on in the Champions League. Not so great for manchester city. The argentinian superstar scored his first goal for psg. Idrissa guye had given the french side an early lead but this is what the p56 fans had come for. City had their chances, hitting the bar twice in one passge of play but it was messis night and for guardiola, who used to manage messi at barcelona, it was no surprise. We know it isnt possible to control leo in 90 minutes. But they were not a lot in touch with the ball. He came back from some injuries, he needed a good rhythm. But we know lionel quite well. When he can run and be close to the ball. He is unstoppable. Apart from his goal, this got people talking on social media last night, surely the most expensive draught excluder in the world. Messi doing his bit in defence. Or he might have needed a lie down, he is 3a. Liverpool were also playing last night, they were in portugal and beat porto 5 1. The players were wearing black armbands in tribute to the great roger hunt, liverpools record scorer in the league, and 1966 world cup winner. And it was fitting that their forward line scored all the goals. Sadio mane made it 2 0 at the break. Salah scored twice as did roberto firmino, his first coming after a dreadful mistake from the porto keeper diogo costa. They stay top of their group with a 100 percent record. The result of the night came in spain, as real madrid, the 13 time winners were stunned 2 1 by debutants sheriff tiraspol. Its the moldovan minnows first season in the Champions League, and their entire squads worth would just about cover the annual salary of one madrid player. But Luxembourg InternationalSebastien Thill scored the winner in the last minute to complete one of the biggest shocks in Champions League history. That tattoo on thill� s leg is of him dreaming of the Champions League trophy. Doesnt seem like such a daft idea now.

A trip to the pub or restaurant to be more expensive this weekend because of changes to vat. The rate must pat from 20 to 5 during the pandemic to support the Hospitality Industry and protectjobs. They will have to pay the higher rate in october. Our correspondence has been to a pub to tell us more. Xfour october. Our correspondence has been to a pub to tell us more. To a pub to tell us more.

Your point on Saturday Night and your to a pub to tell us more. Your point on Saturday Night and your chicken | on Saturday Night and your Chicken Roast on sunday could cost more from this weekend. That is because some of the tax changes that were brought in to give business a bit of a base during the pandemic when they start to rise again. It would be phased, a gradual increase but there are concerns it could hit one of the industries that has been hardest hit by coronavirus as my colleague, katie sting has been finding out. Kitchens like these have been up and running again for a few months now but the financial shock of lockdowns means business isnt quite back to normal. This Birmingham Restaurant Group now only opens at busier times. We use to open at lunch times given that we can now have stopped. Now we just do four days instead of six. The manager says, Government Support has been a lifeline, not only furlough but other measures including the temporary cuts to vat. We pay vat, or value added tax, and a wide range of the goods and services that we buy and the standard rate is 20 . Injuly, last year, the Chancellor Cut Vat to 5 for food and drink served in restaurants, cafes and pubs for accommodation and attractions. From october, that rate rises to 12. 5 before returning to 20 next april. Firms dont have to pass on the lower rate to customers by lowering prices and many havent, saying they have needed to pocket the difference to stay afloat. Now vat is rising again, andrew is worried, because other costs are also going up. The price of ingredients has basically doubled. Similarly, staffing, the wages have increased. It will make things very difficult to maintain the Price Structure we have got already. So, prices might have to go up, basically . I think it is inevitable for the industry. I cant think of a single restaurant that we have spoken to or even in the country that is going to be able to stomach the vat rising. A few streets away, there is a hawaiian food cafe and the on boss there is also feeling the squeeze. Recently, even Something Like mango, we buy hundreds of kilograms of mango at a time, 20 increase. There are too many inflationary pressures in the system. Putting vat up at a time when frankly we are still not out of covid is a little bit premature. I do think they need to delay it. They need to delay it by another six months. This hotel group did drop its prices, which boosted bookings. They are reluctantly having to raise them again but Hope International travellers will be happy to pay. Everybody wants to travel again. 0k, we will be less competitive but we will get back on track. L the treasury told Us Hospitality had had extensive support and it had always been clear the lower rate of vat was temporary. Andrew says his industry is still fragile and he is concerned with the cost of living rising, customers will have little appetite for price rises. What does Business Make of all of this .

Fresh tensions have service between britain and france over post brexit Fishing Rights. France are accusing the uk being slow to grant permits in territorial waters. Jersey has confirmed it has granted 95 licenses to french trawlers in the last hour. I correspondence his following this story in brussels. Hello to you. Our viewers may well remember the protests earlier this year over the row over post brexit access to waters around jersey. Row over postbrexit access to waters around jersey. Row over postbrexit access to waters around jersey. They might remember as waters around jersey. They might remember as well waters around jersey. They might remember as well that waters around jersey. They might remember as well that as waters around jersey. They might remember as well that as french | remember as well that as French Fishermen staged that protest back in may, the uk government deployed to macro royal navy vessels to the area. It was a big story at the time. We have had developments overnight. Last night we had from the uk government that out of a7 applications from smaller eu vessels to fish in the uk ensure waters, only 12 of those had been granted. The uk has been analysing evidence provided by those vessels. Today we had following the row back in may when the jazzy government had been examining applications as well, 75 applications of french vassals have been rejected. French political reaction unsurprisingly has been quite fierce. The regional leader brittany saying it is unacceptable. There are calls for European Union to act. What the European Commission in brussels is saying is it regrets theissue in brussels is saying is it regrets the issue has not been resolved over post brexit Fishing Rights and it wants to see the uk methodology for how they reached these conclusions. This looks like it will rumble on for a little while yet. In terms of relationships between paris and london, another tense moment and there have been a few recently. fight; there have been a few recently. Any sensor may there have been a few recently. Any sensor may be more protest by fishermen over this . Is any sense there may be. Fishermen over this . Is any sense there may be fishermen over this . Is any sense there may be.

Some political figures i of anger. Some politicalfigures feel the fishing industry is paying the price for brexit and they feel very unhappy. There was a suggestion last night from one french politician that French Fishermen were being held hostage by the british in this situation. There is a suspicion in brussels, in terms of the uk government announcement, it is cynically timed. Some believe after a three day or more bad headlines for borisjohnson at home, it is a way of from that by concocting some sort of fishing row. Government sources in the uk adamantly deny that.

Katie price has been charged with driving without Third Party Insurance and driving while disqualified after a crash her home. More gene edited crops could soon be grown in england as the government prepares to relax legislation. This will strictly this was strictly controlled under eu rules. It looks like any other tomato, but it has been genetically edited, so it produces more vitamin c. Under the current regulations, set by the European Union, its hard, if not impossible, to develop commercially in the uk. But the government wants to change the rules and have simple gene edited plants regulated in the same way as new varieties produced by traditional breeding methods. Gene edited crops have, potentially, so much to offer, in terms of agricultural sustainability and healthy food. Of course, nobody is arguing that they should not be regulated for safety and environmental compatibility. That goes without saying. Campaigners protested against genetically modified crops in the 1990s when they were first being tested out in fields. There were concerns then that they may not be safe to eat and might harm the environment. But gene edited crops are different, say the scientists. They have much smaller genetic changes and produce varieties that could have been developed by Traditional Cross Breeding but in months rather than years. Gm crops are gm crops, whether they re gene edited or use older genetic modification techniques. I think people still want to see really good Safety Assessments for both human health and the environment, they want these products to be traceable and labelled, so they have a choice and that the products can be recalled, if anything goes wrong. Gene edited farm animals could be next. These pigs have had a gene removed that prevents them from getting a common form of lung disease. Todays announcement could mark the start of a new generation of genetically produced crops and animals. Pallab ghosh, bbc news. The pop star Britney Spears could regain control of her Financial Affairs today when a court in los angeles decide whether to revoke an order which but her father and lawyers in charge. The 39 year old singer has long fought to overturn the Conservatorship Ruling which has beenin the Conservatorship Ruling which has been in place for 13 years. With a taste of your lips, i want to ride youre toxic. Shes an international superstar, but since Britney Spears refused to perform until she gets her life back, her millions of fans have only seen her moves on instagram. We let the waters rise. Since her passionate plea for her conservatorship to end injune, there have been major developments. Look at that the star got engaged to fiance sam asghari. Hey ho, no, no, the conservatorship has got to go she was also granted the right to hire her own lawyer and a flurry of petitions have been filed by both sides, since. In a surprise move, jamie spears applied to end the conservatorship, stating all he wants is whats best for his daughter. Im glad progress is being made but we are going to keep the pressure on to make sure that he does follow through i and step down. And not only that, that this conservatorship is terminated entirely. Last week, Britney Spears lawyer formally applied to do that, saying the star hopes it will be completely and inevitably terminated this autumn. Thank you very much. Thejudges ruling could put the conservatorship en route to termination, which would free britney and could also help others whove suffered or fear suffering from abuse of the system. Im autistic and all of my friends who are. Dealing with Mental Health issues, we fear every day that we are going to get locked up in a similar situation that britney is in. So many people ive talked to said she sounded just like me. It was that pain, it was that struggle, it was just that demand to be your own person. That individualism, it exists in all of us, and so she was speaking directly from the heart. And it was from all of our hearts. Oh, baby, baby, how was i supposed to know . But there may be other things that werent right. Jamie spears has been accused of hiring a Security Firm to monitor his daughters phone and bug her home. Doing so without her consent is illegal in california. Its not known whether Britney Spears herself will attend virtually or in person or at all but herfans and members of the Free Britney Movement will be outside court in force. Sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. Daniel craig positive and final James Bond Film has finally had its premiere allowing a series of delays caused by covid 19. Premiere allowing a series of delays caused by covid19. Im entertainment correspondent was at the premiere. Not one but two generations of the royal family, bringing a double dose of glamour to the new 007 film. Royalty, together, with the cast and crew of one of the crown jewels of british cinema, for a very special world premiere. Because this is Daniel Craigs final bond film. Theres something i need to tell you. I bet there is. James after more than 15 hectic years, hes decided its time to say goodbye to the role that has made him a global star. A year ago, thisjust felt like a dream. We werent counting on this at all so just to be here isjust a huge relief. Definitely its a mixture of feelings. Im incredibly proud of the work that weve done and the movies that weve made and what we have achieved and of course its tinged with some sadness but its time to move on. Shall we cut to the chase . Im here as a professional courtesy. Well, youre not very courteous, are you . You have broken my car. Its commander bond. He says he hopes hes leaving the franchise in a positive place with the series evolving, particularly with its female characters. The worlds moved on since you retired, commander bond. Perhaps you didnt notice. No, i cant say i had. In my humble opinion, the world doesnt change very much. I like to watch cinema that really makes me feel as though im included, that my narratives are being told, the women i was raised with, the women i continue to love and respect are women like nomi, and the fact even she was an idea on the page is reflective of the world i see. Its also thanks to daniel because hes a feminist and its really something that he brought | to the franchise and it was timel to have strong, female characters, i who are not only strong but alsol vulnerable and just consistent. For that, i am really happy. I feel like all of daniels films have been doing that and i feel like thats been the engine. Thats why i was really, really keen to be a part of it. It wasnt like i was bringing that to it, it was already really alive and i felt like a good fit for it. It contains a limited radius electromagnetic pulse. Its notjust moviegoers. The eyes of the cinema industry are firmly on how well the movie performs. How strong is it . Its fairly strong. Fairly strong . What does that mean . I havent had the chance to test it properly. Bond fans are excited to see a movie that they expect to be filled with the franchises trademarks, witty one liners, action and gadgets. You dont mind a shot or two whilst at work. Shall we . Well, i havent had a drink for three orfour. Ow . Hours. So many will be hoping it will provide a hugely significant boost to cinema after 18 months when industrys finances have been hanging by a thread. Of course we wanted this film to be shown in cinemas, it was made for the cinema. We know that a couple of pictures have opened and done incredibly well and so we just like the public to come out and support the industry, support cinema. Its so important to us culturally as well as socially and commercially. So yeah, lets see. We have a great movie and we hope the public loves it. And for daniel craig, helping to revive cinemas while 007 saves the world would feel like a particularly fitting sendoff. I hope we can do something, i hope its A Springboard, i hope it drives people back to the cinema and that we can keep this wonderful business going. Theres always a huge degree of attention on the bond movies. This one more than most. Because there is no doubt that cinema will recover from covid, but how quickly it comes back from the pandemic could well depend on 007. Liso mzimba, bbc news. Enjoy it if you are catching up movie scene. Lets return to the labour Party Conference. We can show you the scene live in brighton where nfu minutes, sir Keir Starmerwill be standing at that podium to deliver his first face to face speech at Conference Since he has been leader. A big moment for the leader of any political party. Lets look ahead to that whether Political Correspondent, chris mason. To be a fly on the wall right now, composing himself before this big speech. Run through as how big a deal is for his leadership and the future chances of the party. Does it matter at this point in the cycle . It the party. Does it matter at this point in the cycle . Point in the cycle . It hugely matters point in the cycle . It hugely matters we point in the cycle . It hugely matters. We are point in the cycle . It hugely matters. We are halfway i point in the cycle . It hugely i matters. We are halfway between point in the cycle . It hugely matters. We are halfway between two General Elections. Because sir keir starmer has been imprisoned by the pandemic man able to do what Opposition Leaders candy which is go out and talk and make an argument and get known by the electorate. A big part of the speech coming up is sir keir starmer saying this is who i am, this is my back story, this is what motivates me in politics as well as one ought to policy announcements. One or two policy announcements. One or two policy announcements. The sense of anticipation, the sense of excitement from activists who have had to wait for so long to see their leader in person address annual conference because this time last year he is doing what i was doing in my conversation with you, talking into a plastic box called a camera rather than being able to address thousands of people and creating a sense of atmosphere and occasion he hopes will translate to the wider country and people will Pay Attention to. We country and people will Pay Attention to. Country and people will Pay Attention to. ,. ,. , attention to. We are seeing a short introduction attention to. We are seeing a short introduction to attention to. We are seeing a short introduction to sir attention to. We are seeing a short introduction to sir keir attention to. We are seeing a short introduction to sir keir starmer introduction to sir keir starmer before he comes the podium. The party clearly has internal issues and has not managed to silence those issues in this conference so far. In that regard, do you think he can do anything in this speech to try and bring some unanimity, some unity . That is a really interesting point. To an extent some of the battle sir keir starmer has had this week, he will argue he has had to have. In other words that he wanted to make the party more fit to fight an election and be competitive, changing the rules around the selection of a leader to make it harderfor somebody on selection of a leader to make it harder for somebody on the hard left to be elected as Labour Leader in the future, he set out what he thinks is a credible approach that will be sellable to those who had voted conservative in the last few elections that might be tempted back towards labour. At the same time having to fight up to some on the left where there were arguments for a £15 an hour minimum wage. The current minimum isjust shy a £15 an hour minimum wage. The current minimum is just shy of £9. Labour want to get it around £10 and sir keir starmer stuck to that position. Activist back what Andy Mcdonald had been pressing for in a non binding vote. You can see some of the pressures playing out. The left were defeated twice in a row at General Elections underjeremy corbin in 2017 and 2019 but not vanquished from the wider movement. They are still vociferous in a way that was not the case ten, 20 years ago because of their recent internal success, because of the swelling Party Membership that happened under a year ofjeremy corbin and they are still voices are heard and listened to. To an extent, sir keir starmer will want to make a virtue out of defining himself as not from that part of the party, given how how spectacularly unsuccessfuljeremy covid was at the last election in the worst defeat for the party since 1935. Some of these rows highlight division and wisdom suggest divided parties do not win elections. Those around sir keir starmer thing they arent necessary areas of conflict to really form the labour party into something in his own image so he hopes that is the kind of machine, if you like, that can go forward and when a General Election. There is no doubt there has been plenty of attention here. There always are at Labour Conferences the noises are. We were talking an hour ago to a handful of labour activists. Candid analysis about failings from sir keir starmer. You get much lesser of that conservative conferences publicly from activists or mps. Much more of a trade fair in many ways and speeches from cabinet ministers. To supporters it is more disciplined, to critics more bland, forum for genuine discussion and debate about the future of the party. That highlight some of the cultural differences between the two big Political Parties in the uk. We arejust now into big Political Parties in the uk. We are just now into may video sequence in the hall by the sounds of it. They would like to do some razzmatazz slick Video Editing to try to get the crowd in the mid before the leader is welcomed on stage. We expect when he arrives in the next few minutes to talk for about an hour. Is this about creating a feeling that people can latch onto, whether in the hall or around the country, as opposed to those specific policy ideas or pleasures he might be talking about .

This him trying to connect, him being and understood and people getting is because the pandemic stopped him unable to travel around and give speeches and meet people in the way an Opposition Leader would normally do and also, because of the scale of the national emergency, he was squeezed out of a lot of the National Conversation.

Thank you so much, conference. I have waited 17 months, 25 days, and to hours to appear in front of you in this hall as leader of our great party. Doreen, thank you for your kind words, thank you for everything you have done just. Thank you for everything you have done for our party. I am so proud to call you my friend. Thank you. Conference, let me take this first opportunity to thank my brilliant Shadow Cabinet and team for everything that they have done in the last 18 months. Thank you so much, colleagues. And louise, welcome home. Applause. This has not always been an easy conference. Sunday was particularly looking, but then the results started coming through. Personal three, tottenham, one conference, before i start, let me tackle the issue of the day, head on. If you go outside and walk along the seafront, it will not be known before getting a Petrol Station that has got more fuel. Level . Come at even follow up. Doesnt that just tell you everything you to know about this government . Ignoring the problem, blaming someone else, then coming up with a half baked solution. Writing recently have a shortage of hgv drivers . Why is there no plan in place . Tankerfuel drivers . Why is there no plan in place . Tanker fuel already costs £10 more than it did at the start of the year. Gas and electricity bills, gaps in supermarket shelves. Rent, up, especially for those on the lowest incomes. Yet this is the very moment the government is putting up attacks on working people, putting a tax on Small Business and shamefully, slashing universal credit, the lifeline 6 million families. We have a fuel crisis, a pay crisis, a goods crisis and a cost of living crisis, all at the same time. Conference, let me quidditching over the Prime Minister said at the United Nations last week. We believe that someone else will clear up the mess we make because that is what someone else has always done. Well, Prime Minister, i dont get a grip or get out of the way and let us step up and clear up this mess. This is our first Conference Since the 2019 General Election in which we severed our worst defeat since 1935. To our devoted activists, to liberal voters, 1935. To our devoted activists, to liberalvoters, i 1935. To our devoted activists, to liberal voters, i want to say loud and clear, saved this party from alliteration and we will never forget it. Thank you. But myjob as leader is notjust to say thank you to the voters that stayed with us. It is to understand and to persuade the voters rejected us, to those labour voters who said their grandparents or turn in their graves, but they couldnt trust us with high office. To those who reluctantly chose the tories because they didnt believe that our promises were credible. To the voters thought we unpatriotic or irresponsible or that we looked down on them. I say these simple, but powerful words, we will never under my leadership, go into an election with a manifesto that is not a serious plan for government. Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. It will not take another election defeat for the labour party to become an alternative government. In which you can trust. And conference, thatis which you can trust. And conference, that is why it has been so important to get our own house in order this week and we have done that. At this time on a wednesday, it is normally the tories who are heckling me. It doesnt bother me then, it doesnt bother me now. Applause. This is a big moment in our countrys history. Look back at this moment and we will ask, how did the nation build the pandemic . Did we learn . Did we use the crisis to make the future . I see a government lost in the woods with to paths beckoning. One path leads back to where we came from. The lessons of covid 19 learned, the floors literally exposed by the pandemic or worsened. Childhood poverty increases, the crisis in the social care gets worse. The Housing Market is still broken. Slow and steady decline. But there is another path. Damn which we do address the chronic problems revealed by covid 19, the kindness and togetherness that got us through. But a path leads to a future in which a smart government enlists the billions scientific invention to create a prosperous economy and a contribution society in which everyone has to play. It will be a future in which we make an opportunity out of tackling the climate crisis. And in which britain is once again a confident actor in the world. I believe in this country. And i believe we will go forward. Today i want to tell you how. Today i want to tell you where my passions were born and why i in politics. There are to rocks in my life. The true sources of what i believe to be right and good. Family and work. I am not from a privileged background. My dad was a toolmaker. Although in a way, so is Boris Johnson my my dad is a toolmaker in a factory and worked on the shop floor all his life. He gave me a deep respect for the dignity of work. There are some lines that capture the beauty of the skilled work. Read more see what someone is doing to know if it is his vocation. Only have to watch his eyes. How beautiful it is, that i only object looks. I saw that i only object look in my dad. The pride that could work brings. It puts food on the table and it provides a sense of dignity. So, when i hear that this country is creating so many low paid jobs and when i tell you that good work under fair growth will be the priority for a Labour Government, i have not learned this in some political seminar. I learned it around the kitchen table. I learned it at home from my dad. How pride arrives from work, how is the bedrock of a good economy. And how a good economy is an essential partner of a good society. That is why i am so proud to lead a party whose name is labour. Dont forget it. Dont forget it. Labour, the party over working people. One worked incredibly hard, too. She was a nurse in the nhs, and a very proud nurse, too. I got from my mum unethical service, proud nurse, too. I got from my mum unethicalservice, but proud nurse, too. I got from my mum unethical service, but my also unfortunately a long term patient of the nhs. When she was young, she was diagnosed with still is a disease it is a rare form of inflammatory arthritis which severely restricted mobility. This disease, along with the drugs she had to take to control it, take a very heavy toll. The nhs that had been livelihood became her lifeline. There were times, many times, when mum was so ill that she had to go into hospital. I remember going in to the intensive care unit one day, as i often did, ands bed was a riot of tubes and devices. I could sense the urgency in the conversations of the for nurses on my mums bed. I knew without being told they were keeping her alive. I can hardly convey to you the emotion of seeing your mum in that condition and there was a sort of horrible irony in the moment. I had just picked up an award for work i had done on the death penalty, which in my own way, was about trying to save peoples lives. Id gone to the hospital, hoping to tell my mum about it. And, in front of me, those are for nurses were working to save her life. When that one day was over, ifound them her life. When that one day was over, i found them for what they had done, and they said to me, we are just doing ourjob. And they wear. They were doing theirjob for my mum that night. Somebody else was mcmahon before, somebody elses my mother made after. But that is not just a job, it is a calling. So, when i think of the extraordinary dedication of doctors and nurses, working together to keep people alive as the covid 19 first took hold, i know what that looks like. I understand that means. So, just as we stood on our doorsteps and uploaded, led this conference ring out its approval to the nhs staff. Truly, very best of us. Thank you, conference. So, you see, shouting slogans or changing lives, conference . Applause. Thank you, conference. Thank you, conference. So, you see, family life taught me about the dignity of work and inability of care. Conference, as i say, slogans changing lives . Slogans . We could chant all day. We could chant all day. Applause. But, conference, even with a name like keir starmer, i was never one of those people reorder for politics. I became the first person in my family to go to university. Applause. The first to go into the law, and everyday as a lawyer, if you are a radical, as i was, think of yourself as working forjustice. You see people getting a raw deal, and you want to help. Justice for me was not a complicated idea. Justice, to me, there is a practical achievement. It was about seeing a one and putting it right. That is my approach in politics, too. Down to earth, working out what is wrong, fixing it. I had the great honour of becoming this countrys chief prosecutor, leading an organisation, the crown prosecution service. Three very important words. Crown brings home the responsibility of losing part of the responsibility of losing part of the National Legal system. Prosecution tells you that crime hurts and victims need justice to be done. Service is a reminder that the job is bigger than your own career advancement. I will always remember the day that john and penny clough contacted my office. Their daughter, jane, was a nurse who had been the victim of terrible domestic abuse. After repeated assaults, jane summoned the very great courage to report her partner. He was arrested and remanded in custody. But then, very much against the wishes of the family, he was let out on bail. Jane lived in constant fear that he would return to harm her. She tried to ensure she never travelled to work alone. But one morning, jane arrived at work unaccompanied. He was waiting for her. In the hospital car park, where he stabbed her 71 times. When janes parents park, where he stabbed her 71 times. Whenjanes parents got in touch, my office advised me not to see them. Cannot get emotionally involved in cases, they said. I replied, ifi havent got time to see the parents of a young woman who has just been murdered, then what am i doing this job . Applause. On the day thatjohn and penny were supposed to come and see me, to tony about the trauma and the murder of their daughter, and how the criminal Justice System had let them down, my own daughter was born. We had to push back the meeting. It was an incredibly emotional day for all of us. As i listened tojohn and penny tonyjanes story, i needed us. As i listened tojohn and penny tony janes story, i needed a us. As i listened tojohn and penny tonyjanes story, i needed a great injustice had been done. I made a promise tojohn and penny the end of that first meeting, that i would work with them to make sure that no other family went through what they had been forced to injure. And we rolled up our sleeves, and we changed the law. I am delighted to say thatjohn and penny have become good friends of mine and i am beyond honoured that they have joined us here today. Conference, john and penny clough. Applause. John and penny taught me how to keep your dignity under severe pressure. Doreen lawrence taught me the same lesson. Chris was a long battle stephen, against the odds, confronting racism, but never giving up. Her courage and resilience of the 28 years is impossible to describe in words. I honestly dont know how i would cope if anything happened to one of our children. I do know that i humbled byjohn, by penny, and by doing. Applause and that is why, under my leadership at the fight against crime will always be a labour issue. A labour issue. Applause labour will strengthen the Legal Protection for the victims of crime. We will not walk around the problem, we will fix it. Conference, when i learned that 98 of reported rape cases end in criminal charge, i couldnt believe it, i couldnt believe it. I asked my team to check the figures. That cant be right, i say, but it was. Shocking. So we will fast track rape and serious sex assault and give tougher sentences to serious abuses. Applause this is part of who we are because it is part of what i am. Applause today, conference, iam here to applause today, conference, i am here to tell you what i stand for. But i will also tell you what i will not stand for. I will not stand for 2 million incidents of anti social behaviour this year. I wont stand for record levels of knife crime that we have in this country today and i wont stand for nine out of ten crimes going unsolved. Under the tories, the criminalJustice System is close to collapse. There has never been a bigger backlog in the crown courts. After 11 years of tory government, we have lost more than 8000 Police Officers. They pretend it doesnt make a difference, it does. Ask the workers on the day shift at tata steel, they told me about repeated incidents in their neighbourhood. The young women i recently saw who told me they dare not go out on the high street alone. They see more violence and fewer police. It is just common sense to put the two together. The tories are letting you down and i can promise you that might never happen under my leadership. Applause thank you. Conference, there is Something Else i took from a career in the law and that is there is one law and it applies to everyone. I try to remain calm in the bearpit of parliamentary politics, i am not a career politician. I came to politics late in life and i do not much like point scoring. But the one thing about borisjohnson that offends everything that i stand for is his assumption that the rules do not apply to him. When Dominic Cummings tooka not apply to him. When Dominic Cummings took a trip to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight. Boris johnson turned a blind eye. When matt hancock breached his own lockdown rules, borisjohnson declared the matter closed. When i got pinged i isolated, when Boris Johnson got pinged, he tried to ignore it. That is not how i do business. Applause when i was the chief prosecutor and mps fell short of the highest standards on their expenses, i prosecuted those who had broken the law. Politics has to be clean. Wrongdoing has to be punished. Conference, there are times in this parliament when i feel like i have got my old job back. Contracts handed out to friends and donors. The former Prime Minister lobbying the chancellor by text, refurbishing number ten with a loan from an anonymous donor. On behalf of the public that cares about clearing up politics, i put this government on notice. Applause i have spent my entire working life trying to getjustice done. In 2003, when i was working with the policing board of Northern Ireland, when i was learning at close just how hard it is to make a split second life and death decision in a riot situation, as i worked with the police to create a lasting institution in accordance with the good friday agreement, borisjohnson was a guest on top gear where, in reference to himself, he said to jeremy clarkson, you cannot rule out the possibility that neatly elaborate deconstructed veneer of a blithering idiot lacks a blithering idiot. Lurks a blithering idiot. When in the autumn of 20101 was chief prosecutor, working with doreen lawrence, to finally get a prosecution of the two men that murdered stephen, borisjohnson was writing an article in the telegraph, declaring a war on traffic cones. And when this country was threatened by terrorists, who were trying to bring down planes with liquid bombs, i spent the summer of 2010 helping to put those terrace behind bars where they could no longer pose a danger to british citizens. Those terrorists. And whilst i was doing that, what were you doing, mr johnson . You were writing a piece defending your right not to wear a cycle helmet. Conference, it is easy to comfort yourself that your opponents are bad people. I do not think borisjohnson is a bad man, i think borisjohnson is a bad man, i think he is a trivial man, he is a showman. He is a show man with nothing left to show. He is a trick who has performed his one trick. Once he said the words, get brexit done his plan ran out. There is. Applause there is no plan. The questions we face in britain today are big ones. How we emerge from the biggest pandemic in a century. How we make a living in a competitive world. The climate crisis. Our relationship with europe. The future of our union. These are big issues but our politics is so small. These times demand a responsible leader with clear values. Demand a responsible leader with clearvalues. For demand a responsible leader with clear values. For my dad, from my dad i understand the dignity of work. From my mum, iappreciate dad i understand the dignity of work. From my mum, i appreciate the nobility of care. From my work, the principle that we are all equal before the law and from the victims of crime, that the law is there to make a secure. Work, care, equality, security. Applause that is what i mean byjustice and thatis that is what i mean byjustice and that is what i have been aiming at all my working life. That is why i am in politics and those other values this country needs as we first seek to recover from the pandemic and then to look with excitement and anticipation at the path that beckons us to retool britain for the future, to make this nation anew. Applause i want to start with the importance of care. Covid 19 exposed the state britain 2020. After a decade of cats and neglect, the Health Service was not ready. Just when the nation needed for nurses on its bed, sadly they could not always be the. 1. 6 million older people were going without the care they needed. Gp numbers had tumbled. Waiting lists for treatment had spiralled. Then, on top of that, the government was fatally slow to respond. The Prime Ministers inability to make up his mind really mattered. Britain has the worst death toll in europe. We have lost 133,000 people to covid. Every one of them somebody� s mum addad, sister, brother, friend. Mum, dad. I know it is difficult but the situation is worse than it needed to be. Notjust a government failure and 18 months, a failure of the governments duty and care over 11 years. 11 years. Duty of care. Applause there are cracks in British Society and covid seeped into them. Lower earners were greater risk, say were black and ethnic minority communities. Covid forensically found those who already had Health Problems and it has left in its wake a significant backlog. Nhs waiting lists are at the highest level on record. 5. 5 Million People are waiting for treatment. The great scandal of the pandemic was what happened in our care homes. Let me tell you this, conference, and unfair tax type that does not fix social care and clearly nhs backlog is not a plan. Social care and clearly nhs backlog is nota plan. Social care and clearly nhs backlog is not a plan. Tax hike. Applause we know that people will still be. Sell their homes for pare. Working people will have to pay more, but there is still no plan. A plan would prevent problems before they byte, a plan would provide care at home where people are, a plan would ensure the workforce was properly valued and a serious plan would not be funded by hammering working people. Applause there is no doubt that the nhs needs more money and a Labour Government will always fund the nhs properly. But the future of the nhs cannot just be about chasing extra demand with more money. And neither can it be about reshuffling the furniture in yet another pointless reorganisation. We have to understand that moment that the nhs faces. In 1900, the average british person expected to live to the age of a8. Today, average Life Expectancy is 80. The number of people aged 65 and over in this country is growing three times faster than the number aged under 65. That is a wonderful achievement and the biggest test in the history of the nhs. No society in british history has been as old as our modern nation. Small politics will no longer do. I want britain to be the healthiest nation on earth. Let me tell you what labour would do. We would shift the priority of the nhs away from Emergency Care towards prevention. Applause we can catch problems early and at the same time we can use the resources of the nhs better. I dont just mean physical illness. With every £1 spent on your behalf, we would expect the treasury to weigh not just would expect the treasury to weigh notjust its effect on National Income but also its effect on well being. Now let me give you an example. One of the urgent needs of our time is Mental Health. Labour will guarantee that support will be available in less than a month. Applause we will recruit Mental Health staff that we need, over 8500 more Mental Health professional supporting a million more people every year. Under labour, spending on Mental Health will never be allowed to full and we will make sure that children and we will make sure that children and young people get help early, by ensuring that every school, every school has specialist support and every community has an open access Mental Health. Mental health hub. Conference, this is prevention in action. Helping young people looking after their well being. It is the principle my mum taught me. The principle my mum taught me. The principle of care. Let me give you a flavour of what care will look like in the future. I was at university couege in the future. I was at University College hospital in london recently. An orthopaedic surgeon told me about a robot. This robot sits on the operating theatre, making sure every incision isjust operating theatre, making sure every incision is just right. Operating theatre, making sure every incision isjust right. The surgeon cannot go wrong because the robot works and override system. A bit like driving a car with a driving instructor. The doctor and the robot working together are so efficient that patients can be discharged a whole day early. Over time, means thousands of hospital beds are freed up. The major possibility is bewildering, precision editing of genome will help us wipe out pathogens. The science of robotics and exoskeletons will help patients who are struggling to move. Virtual reality is being used to alleviate suffering of post surgical pain. I could took about this all day, promise i will not. I dont pretend to understand all the medical science. As politicians, we have to recognise the scale of what is happening and put the power of smart government behind it. That is what care will mean in the future. This is how health will be remade stop and then we need to give our young people the tools of the future. Education is so important and i am tempted to say it three times. When you dont invest in young people, the whole nation suffers and the less fortunate get behind stop by the time they finish their gcses, pupils from poorerfamilies by the time they finish their gcses, pupils from poorer families are 18 months behind their wealthier peers. That is right. 18 months. The pandemic showed he cannot trust the tories with the education of our children. You cannot trust. Children on Free School Meals going hungry. There was u turn after u turn on school closures. The attainment gap between rich and poor grief. The government asked kevin collins, a recognised expert in the field, to be the recoveries are. He told them what they needed to do and they said, no. Recovery tsar. When he saw the government plans, which he described as feeble, he had no option but to resign. If you cannot lead up our children you are not serious about levelling up at all. Level up. And even before the pandemic, 200,000 children grew up in areas with not a single Primary School rated as good or outstanding. Just think about that. Not a single Primary School rated as good or outstanding. I want every parent in the country to be able to send their child to a great state school. Applause on top of that, if you can believe it a0 of young people leave compulsory education without essential qualifications. What to sat say about the future . We will not put up with that. What does that say . That is why we will launch the most ambitious School Improvement plan in a generation. Not Walking Around the problem but fixing it. Under labour, education will recover that Education Needs to do more than just recover. It needs to be pointed in the direction, pointed in the direction i took from my dad, towards skill, towards work. Employers in all sectors tell me they need well young people, young people skilled in life, ready for work. Young people who can communicate and work in a team. That is why it is stupid to allow theatre, drama and music to collapse in state schools. Applause we wa nt we want every child to get the chance to play competitive sport and play an instrument. When i was at school, i had Music Lessons with fat boy slim. I cannot promise that for everyone, not even here in brighton. But i can promise that labour, as the name tells you, will make a priority of getting this country ready for work. That is why we will focus on practical life skills. We will reinstate to weeks of compulsory Work Experience and we will guarantee. Applause and we guarantee that every young person gets to see a careers adviser. But conference, conference, young people wont be ready for work already for life unless they are literate in the technology of the day. Applause fewer than half of British Employers believe young people have the right digital skills. We do much worse in computer skills than most of our economic rivals. That is why labour will write a curriculum for tomorrow. Applause reading, writing and arithmetic are the three pillars of any education. We would add a fourth, sadly it does not begin with r, digital skills. We need. We need to ensure that every child emerges from school ready for work and ready for life. And, conference, as in health, so too in education. We can work by the light of new technology. Machine learning can cater for individual work styles. Artificial intelligence can help tuition, especially for students with special needs. Cloud computing has brought the archive of the best that has been said and done to the handset of every student. There are so much possibility and all we had to do is to learn to adapt. I think my dad might appreciate the technical term used for this change. It is known in the trade as retooling. Applause and conference, what is the small tory idea to respond to this change . They want to reintroduce latin in state schools. So let me put this crisis in the only language that borisjohnson will understand. Boris johnson will understand. Carpe diem, borisjohnson will understand. Carpe diem, seize the day seize the day. Finally it is time to act, educate our young citizens in the skills they need for work and the skills they need for work and the skills they need for work and the skills they need for life. A society that cares. An Education System that fosters the skills. That is the foundation of an economy that works. In his great study, wealth and poverty of nations, david landon explains why britain was home to the First Industrial revolution. The perfect home for growth had responsive, honest government. I will say more about that in just a moment. It tended to favour the new over the old, enterprise over conservatism, it spread the rewards even need to make sure most of the talents were recognised all of the time. But the most important factor of all, their lesson we need to relearn, was that britain led the world in the technology of the day. The flying shuttle, spinning jenny, the power of the lin, these inventions were once the wave of the future. In textiles, iron, energy and power, britain was a pioneer. I know that with labour we can do that again. But every day we waste, with again. But every day we waste, with a government with no industrial strategy, we are falling further behind. A scientific revolution is happening around us but if we do not have a government ready to remake the nation, the opportunity will pass us by. Already, too many people are shut out of economic reward. We once took it for granted that our children would enjoy more than their parents. That idea drove my mum and dad. It comforted them that whatever the ups and downs of life, they were living in and contributing to a better society. Living in and contributing to a bettersociety. But living in and contributing to a better society. But after ten years of the tories, we have lost this stop we have 5. 7 Million People in low paid insecure work. Workers in transport, care, education and utilities. These were
