The metropolitan police has explained how it intends to better protect women and girls following the murder of Sarah Everard. Yesterday, Wayne Couzens A Serving Officer with the met was given a whole life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing the Marketing Executive in march. The head of the force, Dame Cressida dick, has faced repeated calls to resign but she says lessons will be learnt. Lets look at how the met is trying to reassure the public. Anyone stopped by a lone plain Clothes Police officer can challenge their legitimacy. The met says those detained by one can ask where are your colleagues and where have you come from . And can request to speak to an operator on a police radio to check if the officer is genuine. An extra 650 new officers will patrol busy public areas in london where women have concerns about their safety. And plain clothes officers will not be deployed on their own, and will be in pairs. But serious questions are being asked about whether opportunities were missed to prevent Sarah Everards murder. The met has admitted a Vetting Check on couzens was not done correctly when he joined the force. It meant an incident of Indecent Exposure in kent in 2015, involving a vehicle linked to couzens, was missed. And around 72 hours before ms everards abduction, met Police Officers received a separate allegation of Indecent Exposure which also identified the vehicle involved, registered to couzens. Simonjones reports. Sarah everard, described in court as intelligent, talented, much loved. But the question now facing the met is, could and should her a killer Wayne Couzens have been stopped earlier . I recognise that for some people a precious bond of trust has been damaged. There are no words that can fully express the fury and overwhelming sadness that we all feel about what happened to sarah. I am so sorry. So resign, then she didnt respond to questions about whether she should resign. This was the moment couzens falsely arrested Sarah Everard in south london in march. His arm outstretched, holding his warrant card. Hed go on to rape and murder her, her body dumped in woodland in kent. But back in 2015 a car owned by couzens was linked to an allegation of Indecent Exposure. This wasnt picked up by police vetting. And 72 hours before the kidnap, there was another allegation of Indecent Exposure. Well be pushing ministers and the Home Secretary to have a look at exactly what is going wrong in the vetting processes, in the reporting processes, in the scrutiny of Police Officers, and how that gets done. The met says it will shortly publish a new strategy for tackling violence against women and girls. It will be deploying 650 new officers into busy Public Places where people often feel unsafe. It insists its focused on improving detections for Indecent Exposure. The Home Secretary actually, in response to this case, started off a whole piece of work around a new strategy on violence against women and girls so looking at making our streets safer, looking at, you know, designing out some of the risks, getting more cctv, supporting more helplines. Sarah everards death prompted an outpouring of public grief. In new Safety Guidance the met says people should ask questions if theyre concerned an officer is a threat advice backed by a police watchdog. Call the control, and call 999 and say, look, im being asked to cooperate with someone who says hes a Police Officer i want to know, is this person a Police Officer . And if there are any real concerns that the person in question is going to be assaulted or abducted, then that 999 call will be treated as priority. Couzens told lie after lie after his arrest. Do you know sarah . I dont, no. The metropolitan police is now investigating whether he may have committed more crimes. Sarah everards family say the world is a safer place now hell never be let out of prison. Simon jones, bbc news. I will be to up to date with some information about a Whatsapp Group that was circulating amongst Police Officers. The independent 0ffice that was circulating amongst Police Officers. The independent office for police conduct, the iopc, says its investigating a group of Police Officers who allegedly shared discriminatory messages on a Whatsapp Group. The messages were discovered during the investigation into the murder of Sarah Everard. It is now believed that the group included Wayne Couzens who was yesterday given that whole life sentence. Five Serving Officers, thats five Serving Officers, are under investigation for distributing the messages which were sent between march and october 2019, in addition to a former Officerfrom March and october 2019, in addition to a former officer from the met. Three of the Serving Officers are from the met, one is from the Civil Nuclear constabulary and one from the norfolk constabulary, who are being investigated for gross misconduct. Two of the met officers and another former met officer have been notified by the iopc that they are under criminal investigation for offences under the communications act. Thats the latest we have on this Whatsapp Group which some information has come to light about. Lets now cross to simonjones who is outside Scotland Yard in london for us. Some more detail on this Whatsapp Group, and taking into account what the police are saying, the measures they are trying to take to rebuild public confidence, do they really think this is the right way to go about it . Should the onus be on the person who is being stopped to have to ask an apparent Police Officer, are you who you claim to be . Police officer, are you who you claim to be . ~. ,. , claim to be . The met have described the killin claim to be . The met have described the killing of claim to be . The met have described the killing of sarah claim to be . The met have described the killing of Sarah Everard claim to be . The met have described the killing of Sarah Everard as claim to be . The met have described the killing of Sarah Everard as one i the killing of Sarah Everard as one of the most dreadful incidents in their 190 year history. And now they are facing another very difficult time about confidence in the police. We have had that new Safety Guidance you referred to. We are told by the met that it is very unusual for someone to be stopped on the street by a lone plainclothes officer. But if that happens to you and you are concerned about the officers conduct then the advice from the police is you should perhaps ask to use the officers radio to contract the control room to check what the Officer Doing is legitimate and then the advices if you still feel in danger you might want to run to a nearby house and ask for help contact the control room. You might want to shout out to a passer by to show you are in distress, you might want to flag down a bus, or even dial 999. But as you say, this is very much putting the onus on the person who is stopped. And in the case of Sarah Everard, when Wayne Couzens showed his arrest warrant, he then quickly handcuffed her. So it is unclear whether that advice would have worked in this case, whether it would have been practical. But this is new advice. The met recognising that they have a job to do to rebuild confidence. And thats part of the safety advice. They also say they are going to put hundreds of extra officers on the streets of london, 650 new officers, they are going to send those officers into hotspots where violence is perpetrated against women and girls in particular. But as well as the issue of confidence over the way they handled Wayne Couzens and the vetting procedure, you have now got this further investigation by the independent 0ffice Investigation by the independent office for police conduct. And i think while that is ongoing, that is still going to undermine confidence people have for the metropolitan police. ,. ,. , ~ people have for the metropolitan police,. ,. , ~ ,. , people have for the metropolitan police. ,. ,. ~ ,. , police.

Earlier, the crime and Policing Minister, Kit Malthouse told the bbc that trust needs to be rebuilt by the police. He says an individual stopped by a lone Police Officer has a right to make reasonable lines of inquiry and that there is a job to be done to Rebuild Trust. That there is a 0b to be done to Rebuild Trust. That there is a 0b to be done to Rebuild Trust. Normally when an arrest would Rebuild Trust. Normally when an arrest would be Rebuild Trust. Normally when an arrest would be made Rebuild Trust. Normally when an arrest would be made like Rebuild Trust. Normally when an arrest would be made like that, | Rebuild Trust. Normally when an l arrest would be made like that, a Police Officer would be calling for back up, orwould Police Officer would be calling for back up, or would be radioing Police Officer would be calling for back up, orwould be radioing in what has happened. And obviously that itself produces an element of third party verification. Officers up and down the land recognise the devastating consequences of this. There is a job to be done to Rebuild Trust by the police, particularly, i have to say, in london. If those circumstances arise then it is perfectly reasonable for an individual to make those lines of inquiry about what the Police Officer is doing and satisfy themselves about that. That wont be appropriate in every circumstance and obviously there are thousands of thousands of Police Officers out there apprehending criminals and seeking to keep us all safe everyday and they need to be able to go about their business. But i do recognise their business. But i do recognise the implications of this particular incident and the below it has struck towards trust, particularly in the metropolitan police. That towards trust, particularly in the metropolitan police. Towards trust, particularly in the metropolitan police. That was the crime and policing metropolitan police. That was the crime and Policing Minister metropolitan police. That was the i crime and Policing Minister speaking a little earlier. Lets talk to Political Correspondent nick eardley At Westminster. Good morning to you, nick. I want to begin with questions about the future of Cressida Dick, the commander of the metropolitan police. Is her position seriously in question . Or do ministers think that would be a distraction from the work that actually needs to be done right now . ,. , , , that actually needs to be done right now . ,. , i,. , now . There is certainly pressure on her, we now . There is certainly pressure on her. We have now . There is certainly pressure on her, we have heard now . There is certainly pressure on her, we have heard some now . There is certainly pressure on her, we have heard some pretty her, we have heard some pretty prominent mps like harriet harman, labour mp, formerjustice minister, saying they dont think Dame Cressida dick can be the person who leads the reform that is needed within the met. That said, i dont think its likely she will resign because she does appear to have the backing of the home office. She has the backing of the mayor of london said khan, itappears, as the backing of the mayor of london said khan, it appears, as well. The backing of the mayor of london said khan, itappears, as well. So although there is some pressure, we have seen that pressure before and it doesnt look likely that Dame Cressida dick is going anywhere at the moment saddiq khan. D0 Cressida Dick is going anywhere at the moment saddiq khan. Do you think the police the moment saddiq khan. Do you think the police will the moment saddiq khan. Do you think the police will now the moment saddiq khan. Do you think the police will now be the moment saddiq khan. Do you think the police will now be saying i think the police will now be saying to the government you need to think about our budgets, if we are going to really seriously look at the safety of women and girls, we need more money to put more Police Officers on the beat, for example . I imagine that will be part of the conversation. We know the met was talking overnight about 650 new police in london to monitor some of those areas where women and girls have reported feeling unsafe. I think the bigger pressure politically is going to come on the government to take some firm action, frankly. We heard Kit Malthouse saying that this had been a devastating blow for the police and fought trust in the police services. But the pressure thats coming from the labour party is for and concrete action, for the government to get on the front foot and maybe introduce some new legislation. We have heard from tory mps on that as well, caroline nokes, the chair of the women and equalities committee, saying the government must get on the front foot and do something. Im not sure that any sort of particular action in terms of legislation is imminent from the government. We did have a strategy on violence against women and girls published earlier in the summer, and there is talk of a victim bill coming out at some point, although it isnt completely clear to me when we are going to see that brought forward, but i think you are going to see more and more pressure for concrete action because some politicians are arguing this morning it is all fine and well telling women that you can do this or that when you are approached by a plainClothes Police officer but it is worth remembering that in this case the man who committed that terrible crime was a Police Officer. He had all the necessary power he needed to stop somebody and a lot of the focus At Westminster is about coming up with more concrete actions and more priority when it comes to that issue of violence against women and girls. That issue of violence against women and uirls. ~ that issue of violence against women and uirls. W. , that issue of violence against women and uirls. ,. , ~ and girls. Nick eardley, thank you very much very much. Let me read out a few of the comments you have sent in about what you think of the met� s proposals to rebuild public trust and what would make you feel safer. Briony says if Loan Officers had to inform people they stop that they had a right to a second officer or to call the control room that might help. This from Bernadette Sanders who says more police on the streets in uniforms and pairs, especially at night, and at all times in quieter places in urban environments. Ed lynn says what can help to rebuild womens trust in the police . I would say it is well beyond that for many people, unfortunately. Tony asks, could it be that police were not openly declare cases like Indecent Exposure by Police Officers because it would discredit police and dent the image of Law Enforcement . Viv kirk says it is a sad State Of Affairs when the public cannot trust affairs when the public Cannot Trust A Lone Police Officer. I taught my kids when in trouble to look for a woman or a Police Officer. Thank you for those comments. Keep them coming in. You can do that by getting in touch with me on twitter using the hashtag bbc your questions. The australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says fully vaccinated australians will be able to enter and leave the country freely from november. Its the first time they will be able to do so without permission since australia closed its International Borders in march 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. It means millions of citizens can travel out of the country and some 115,000 australians currently abroad will be able to return home. It will be time very soon that we will be able to open those International Borders again and that will enable australians who are fully vaccinated and australians and residents of australia who are overseas who are fully vaccinated to be able to travel again and to be able to lift those caps will stop this will happen next month. Thats when it will start happening, from next month. When it will start happening, from next month next month. Australian Prime Minister scott next month. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Next month. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Lets next month. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Lets talk to our australia correspondent Shaimaa Khalil who is in australia. Tell us about the reaction to this news, and is it literally vaccinated australian citizens . Will their families be able to travel with them if they are not citizens . If they are not citizens . Thats really the if they are not citizens . Thats really the detail if they are not citizens . Thats really the detail that if they are not citizens . Thats really the detail that we if they are not citizens . Thats really the detail that we have l if they are not citizens . Thats really the detail that we have been trying to get clarity on, and yes, the office of the Prime Minister has said that as it stands this announcement will include australian citizens or australian permanent residents. Non australians are not included in those plansjust residents. Non australians are not included in those plans just yet. But to say it is highly anticipated is really an understatement. This has been a very, very emotional moment for thousands and thousands of australians here, and of course abroad, because essentially what it means is if you are a fully vaccinated citizen or permanent resident you no longer have to worry about hotel quarantine. You can travel abroad and be guaranteed to come back, or if you have been stranded abroad you can come back for a seven day home quarantine, so the caps on arrivals, all of these limitations, are now gone for australian citizens. The other big detail, of course, is vaccination. They have to be fully vaccinated, these vaccinations have to be approved by the Health Authorities here, and that the states who reach 80 Vaccination Rates and above are the ones that are able to open for International Travel. As it stands, New South Wales where i am is set to be the first one to open internationally. There are still so many details to iron out especially about proof of vaccination, whether it is going to be certificates, vaccination passports, qr codes, how that will work in different states, especially that the different states have handled their outbreaks differently. For example, New South Wales, the delta outbreak here is stabilising, it is getting ready to open up domestically and internationally, whereas queensland and western australia, for example, they are still going for elimination, still going for zero covid, they have been the strictest with their borders, the first to close, very reluctant to reopen with the rest of the country, so we dont know where they stand on International Travel. Know where they stand on internationaltravel. I know where they stand on International Travel. I think as early as next month you can get a very interesting scenario where someone in sydney, for example, could travel to london or new york but wouldnt be able to travel to brisbane or perth because these two states would still be closed. But i think generally, huge sense of relief amongst so many that International Travel is now back as an option after nearly two years of being isolated from the rest of the world. Is being isolated from the rest of the world. ,. , ,. , world. Is there any conversation about opening world. Is there any conversation about opening up world. Is there any conversation about opening up australia world. Is there any conversation about opening up australia to i about opening up australia to others, to Non Australians . Or is that some way off yet . I others, to nonaustralians . Or is that some way off yet . Others, to nonaustralians . Or is that some way off yet . I think it is definitely going that some way off yet . I think it is definitely going to that some way off yet . I think it is definitely going to be that some way off yet . I think it is definitely going to be part that some way off yet . I think it is definitely going to be part of that some way off yet . I think it is definitely going to be part of the l definitely going to be part of the conversation but i think, if you will, the most urgent need for now, and these have been the cause for months and months and months now, for australians in the country to be reunited with their families and be able to travel and come back, but also for the thousands of australian stranded abroad to be able to come back home and do not have to wait for a space in hotel quarantine. I cannot tell you the number of stories i have heard of people that have missed weddings and funerals and, you know, the birth of grandsons and granddaughters. I remember recently sitting with a woman who missed her mothers funeral. She showed me pictures of her mother and she said because i couldnt get an exemption to leave australia and travel i had to watch that funeral on a screen and i missed that moment to say goodbye to my mother. So multiply that by how many thousands of stories, similar stories. And remember a huge portion of People Living in australia have connections abroad. So being able to travel freely is an integral part of their living here. And that being taken away from them for nearly two years has dramatically changed their lives. Some people who love living here have said they have to leave because that was the only option that was all available to them. Shaimaa khalil, in sydney, thank you very much. More than 15 million households across england, scotland and wales are to face Higher Energy bills as the increased price cap comes into effect from today. A typical bill for those on a default tariff will rise by around £140 a year, with those on Prepayment Meters expected to pay even more. Our personal finance correspondent Kevin Peachey reports. As the temperature dips, so our energy bills rise. The cost of heating and lighting our homes is limited by the price cap, but this is the biggest ever increase at a time when many Household Budgets are being squeezed. It affects people on standard tariffs in england, wales and scotland and generally those who havent switched for a long time, or whose time limited tariffs have expired. The new cap means they will now pay £1,277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity thats £139 a year more on their bill than under the previous cap. Prepayment meter customers face a higher typical bill of £1,309 a year thats an increase of £153 on the previous time. Those who use more than the average amount of energy in their homes will face bigger bills because the policy caps price, not the total bill. Those affected are normally encouraged to switch suppliers for a cheaper deal. This time of the massive rise in the cost of wholesale gas in recent weeks has stripped the market of better offers. Its also led to the collapse of nine suppliers. Their customers will now pay a more expensive tariff in line with the price cap. Surviving firms say they are having to buy wholesale energy at a much higher price than the retail cap allows them to sell it for it. We are really worried about making sure customers get through this period so i dont think anyone is asking for the price cap to be increased again, and so it is what it is, were doing our best to get customers through it, were trying to support well run businesses through this period, and otherwise, if we need to do anything else, we are talking to government. Analysts say companies extra costs will be reflected when the cap is revised in the spring, at a level likely to be significantly more expensive for bill payers. Kevin peachey, bbc news. Ellen fraser is an Energy Analyst and partner at the Management Consultancy firm baringa. Thank you forjoining us. As consumers, what are we to do in this situation . Prices are going up. Is there anything we can do about it . The main advice i would give to consumers is be very mindful of the amount of energy you use in your home, the best way to manage your spend currently, if that is a real concern for you, is to make sure you manage the time carefully on heating, make sure you are switching things off overnight, for example, and thinking about things like insulation in your home to make sure that you use less energy to heat your home. It is more thinking about your home. It is more thinking about your Energy Consumption because, exactly as that introduction said, there really arent that many tariffs available on the market that will give you a better deal than is available under the price cap at the moment. ,. , moment.

Some of those are tips we can all do immediately and some of| can all do immediately and some of those are perhaps slightly longer term or medium term projects like looking at insulation in our homes. To pick up on the comment you made about tariffs, what we have is a situation where we have the price cap at one end of this which clearly affects the amount that energy firms can charge consumers. The other end of this, the wholesale price of gas is going up, so more costs for energy suppliers. Is that going to lead to less choice in the market . In other words, will be seen more energy firms going out of business, and even less choice for us as consumers . figs and even less choice for us as consumers . And even less choice for us as consumers . ~ ,. ,. , consumers . As we move into the winter period consumers . As we move into the winter period we consumers .

As we move into the | winter period we always see a few Surprise Exit the market, and the same thing happened around about this time last year and the year before, the spike we have seen in the wholesale price this year has made the problem much, much more acute, so we are seeing much larger numbers of suppliers, in fact, 12 in the last year and nine just in the last month alone exit the market, so certainly the work we have done within baringa suggests there will be a number more that exit the market. That sounds really quite stark, but in reality the ones that remain are the ones that have the biggest market share and tend to be the ones that are more stable, better capitalised, they have hedged themselves, they have bought ahead their energy needs when Energy Prices were not quite as high so they tend to be more stable. Much as we will see a number of supplies exit the market, the number of consumers, yes it is painful if you go through it, but it will not impact the whole market. If not ri.

In the short term it will be they be better deals around . In the short term it will be challenging i short term it will be challenging because the price cap, as mentioned in the introduction, isnt cost reflective at the moment, in fact it is below the Energy Wholesale price and a number of suppliers, even the big ones that are well capitalised, are making a loss on a number of customers, especially the ones that they acquire when other suppliers go bust, so they are having to hold a significant amount of cost on their Balance Sheets at the moment. That cost will have to flush through industry at some point. We expect the price cap, unfortunately, to go up the price cap, unfortunately, to go up again when it is revised in april as some of those costs start to catch up with us. Suppliers unfortunately will find it difficult to drop prices much below that. They will be trying to recoup some of the costs that effectively they are protecting us from in the short term.

If youre looking for the app, it is called the Nhs Covid Status app. I downloaded it quite easily, it was quite a quick process for me, but there have been reports from many people looking for the app, finding it difficult to find, and also difficult to register and also people in the newsroom have been talking about that trying to register and not being able to. The Scottish Government has said this is because of the volume of people doing it and advise people to possibly step away from it for a couple of hours and come back and try and do it again.

We are already seeing challenges with the app, we are expecting it to be challenging for businesses and many businesses are reporting they will struggle to have enough Door Stewards to check apps and people are coming in. Obviously, people may well be appearing without any kind of certification because of the problems which they have been experiencing with the app. Hopefully those are teething experiencing with the app. Hopefully those are teething issues, experiencing with the app. Hopefully those are teething issues, beyond i those are teething issues, beyond that, you are hearing their new owners are concerned they will not have enough staff to monitor this, to administer this.

The companies you through and make it work.

The bi specific figures are horrendous. Ii2 big challenge specific figures are horrendous. Ti2 big challenge and the debate we had scotland when this was announced was it was going to be introduced for nightclubs, but there is no working definition of a nightclub, so, in the end, the definition which the Scottish Government arrived at was late night venues. That is a large swathe of bars with live music and recorded music and a designated dancing area, as well as what we might consider to be traditional nightclubs.

In 2016, teenager Natasha Ednan Laperouse died from a severe allergic reaction after she ate a baguette that, unknowingly to her, contained sesame seeds. Since then her family have campaigned for businesses to include a full list of ingredients on the packaging of food they sell and today natashas law comes into effect across the uk. John maguire has the story. Her death may well save many, many lives. Natasha Ednan Laperouse was flying from heathrow with herfather and best friend when she bought some food a baguette. Natasha knew she had a food allergy, and always checked labels. But the bread had been baked with sesame seeds not included in the list of ingredients, and which triggered a severe reaction. Natasha suffered several cardiac arrests on the plane, and died later in a french hospital. She was only 15. This new legislation, called natashas law, comes into force today and closes a loophole so that, now, all pre wrapped food including sandwiches, fast food and cheese or meat from Deli Counters must be clearly labelled with a full list of ingredients. Also 14 major allergens including eggs, peanuts and sesame seeds must be highlighted in the list. The Food Standards Agency calls it a huge step in helping the 2 Million People who live with Food Allergies in the uk. Natashas parents describe it as a bittersweet moment for them but, five years on from their daughters death, say they they know in their hearts she would be very proud of the new rules in her name natashas law.

Just starting the dialogue with the customer is so important, you would be surprised at the amount of restaurants who do not have this dialogue. It is important but the allergy trading, some establishments, over 39 from this recent study said that they have had no Allergy Training at all. It was really shocking and i think they should be Allergy Training across the board for small and big businesses.

The headlines, following the murder of Sarah Everard, Scotland Yard tries to regain public confidence. It seeks to reassure the public and says it will increase patrols and advise people to challenge the legitimacy stopped by a lone Police Officer. A higher price cap comes into force. Forty diagnostic Sites Offering Nhs tests and scans are being opened around england in local communities, including Shopping Centres. Its hoped they will help reduce Waiting Times for routine operations and ease pressures on hospitals. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. A report for nhs england last year recommended that diagnostic hubs or one stop shops should be set up away from major hospitals so patients could get check ups close to their homes. Pilot schemes were launched and now the initiative is being extended with 40 centres open seven days a week, due to be set up in england by march next year. The £350 million plan is being funded from nhs englands existing budget. The idea is to get earlier diagnoses for patients and in different locations to allow hospitals to focus on more urgent work. Gps will refer people to the most appropriate local centre for tests and scans to be carried out. The hope is that Waiting Times and the backlog of operations can be reduced. There will be a one stop shop, lets call it, where people can get the scans they need the mri scans, the ct scans and others and the tests all in one place in a convenient location like a Shopping Centre or a localfootball club. Theyll be open seven days a week and we believe that the 40 of them in their first year of operation can get through another 2. 8 million scans and checks and its going to make a huge difference. Locations will be in town centres, retail developments and even a Sporting Site brightons amex football stadium. Some doctors, though, are asking whether the priorities are right. Its a new version of an old idea and those of us who have been around for a little while remember when we used to have Community Hospitals and you could send your patients up there to have their x rays and their ultrasound scans done and their blood taken. So theres a sense of deja vu and weve got lots of empty Community Hospitals around the country. Seems a bit strange that we are not using those for this to get them going immediately, and instead we are building shiny New Buildings or repurposing space. Macmillan Cancer Support welcomed the new investment but said the government must commit to providing long term funding to grow the specialist workforce so the nhs was equipped to recover from the impact of covid 19. Hugh pym, bbc news. The Climate Activist has joined as the meat ahead of glasgow is cop 26 meeting. The swedish activist criticised the attitude of politicians to tackle Climate Change as 30 years of blah, blah. Ministers said progresses being made on a range of issues.

They have been taken to belfast for questioning. She was 29 years old and was shot deadin she was 29 years old and was shot dead in derry in april when she observed writing in the city. Facebook� s global head of safety has defended the Social Media Giant against accusations that its photo sharing app instagram can negatively affect the Mental Health of young people. Antigone davis was appearing before a Us Senate Committee hearing on child protection. It comes two weeks after a leak exposed how instagrams own research had found the platform could have a damaging impact on teenagers body image and self esteem. Senators highlighted how facebook had earlier denied it was aware of the research. Ms davis argued that instagram � affirmatively helped young people on serious issues. Our los angeles correspondent david willis has more. She said this could actually end some cases help to give young people more control over their lives and be helpful to them. That wasnt met with much sympathy, i might add, by the senators who formed this committee. One described the Facebook Research as a bombshell, and accused the company of a cover up. It was likened as well, this research, to the cover up conducted by the Tobacco Industry for the harmful effects of cigarettes several decades ago. There have been calls as well by this committee for facebook to release the full findings, the full research, on the links between instagram and youth suicide. This is not an issue that is going away any time soon because next week the same committee is due to hearfrom a facebook Whistle Blower who left the company with Tens Of Thousands of documents relating to internal research on these and other matters.

Europes First Mission to mercury is expected to reach its destination this weekend. The bepi colombo spacecraft will carry out six fly bys around the planet and if successful, the probe will start sending images back to earth. Its moving too fast to go into orbit but will begin more detailed observations in four years time. Not quite at its destination, but it is getting there. The colosseum, the pantheon, Piazza Navona . Rome is the Picture Postcard City Beloved by those who visit it. But peel back the facade and you find its plagued by problems. This weekend, romans will decide who should govern as mayoral elections take place across italy. Our rome correspondent mark lowen reports now on a city that its increasingly disgruntled residents feel is falling apart. It should be fixed, because it looks like a dirty town. It doesnt look clean at all. For me, it is heartbreaking, to see my city is a bit left behind. The eternal city, � caput mundi, rome, bewitches the world and those of us lucky enough live here but, beneath the beauty, lies decay, dirty, broken and, say many romans, the worst in living memory, a huge challenge for whoever is to be elected mayor. Translation romes biggest problems, transport, waste management, public spaces, are down to a complete lack of skills, the city and regional authorities blame each other for what to do with the rubbish and mismanagement of the Waste Company ama. This is a city for tourists, not for its residents. Europes largest landfill, malagrotta, outside of rome, was closed in 2013 for failing to meet eu standards and, since then, the city has become an open air dump. Now, waste is sent out across the country and in the nearby town of albano, the capitals failure to deal with its own rubbish is meeting fierce resistance. Rome is not doing anything to manage their waste because elections are coming, they do not want to treat their waste in rome, so that is why theyre coming here. But here there is countryside. There used to be vineyards. We are not against some solutions to manage treat our waste but we want plans that are proportionate with our needs. When Virginia Raggi was elected as mayor of rome five years ago, she came in with a lot of support and a lot of optimism but now many romans are blaming her for the state of the city. Mayor, after you running the city for five years, there is rubbish everywhere, potholes, buses are catching fire, why . We laid the foundations for five years and now we have to rebuild completely our city. Translation regarding the rubbish, we inherited a company, ama, with more than 13 years of false balance sheet. We relaunched it and have new plans with new tracks, cleaners and plans and putting things in order. Other institutions too, like the National Government and the region, have to do theirjob. Romes Timeless Beauty makes it a bit stuck in time, development often hampered by ancient remains, a city resting on its laurels, lacking dynamism. It will always enchant but this election is about who will be trusted to clean up its modern ruins. Mark lowen, bbc news, rome.
