by a police officer as she walked home, could become a watershed moment, when police forces have to address the toxic attitudes that some men in their ranks hold towards women. nobody underestimates the challenge. there is a sexist culture in some parts of policing that can turn to misogyny and affect the outcome of cases. at violence against women and girls is on the agenda of all of the major political parties, and all police forces in the uk. so it should be possible to both reduce misogyny and increase the number of cases of violence against women that come to court. energy bills are set to rise substanitally in england, wales and scotland. the energy price cap, which limits the maximum amount that households can pay for their gas and electricity — is being lifted from today. about 15 million uk households are affected. bills will rise by about £137 a year on average. what you pay will go up if you're on your energy provider standard variable tariff or on a pre—paid meter. the rise has been caused by a huge jump in wholesale gas prices globally. the concern is that low income families will be hit the hardest, as our consumer affairs corresponent coletta smith reports. this sort of course helps people to think about things that will help them on their low income... things are already tight for debbie. the last thing she needs is higher bills, but that's exactly what's happening. it's scary. because you can't afford to live day by day as it is. and then everything is going up, you know? you think, where is the actual money coming from? you know how much you've got coming in? yeah. and then... there's twice as much that's got to go out. so it doesn't make sense. it's stupid. now we've got this threat of the gas and electric going up, how people are going to manage, ijust don't know. there will be so many more people getting their debts going up, and up, and up. it's obvious that there is going to be people that won't be putting the heating on this winter. they will be having to wrap up a bit warmer, whether or not they'll be able to cook for their kids, whether it'll be just sandwiches or cereal. average bills are going up to £100 a month — and more for those on prepayment meters. the price cap used to just be the backstop to prevent renters getting totally ripped off by energy companies. and the advice was always that if you shopped around, you'd likely get a better deal. but not any more. the price of wholesale gas has gone up so much this summer, that lots of smaller providers have gone bust, and those that are still hanging on are charging us more. even those on fixed deals will find it hard to get anything cheaper than the price cap when they come to renew. the regulator says they realise millions of customers will struggle, but energy companies say prices had to rise to cover their costs. there is additional support as well for this period, and of course there is existing schemes for vulnerable people. so, i think it's very important anyone watching this who is worried about their bill, particularly if they're vulnerable, gets in touch with their supplier to find out if they're eligible for that kind of support. but of course we recognise that it's a really difficult period. the regulator, 0fgem, says it's striking the right balance between allowing companies to make a profit, while keeping bills down for customers. but that's not how it feels in new brighton. with universal credit being cut at the same moment, and plenty of people still working from home, this hugejump in utility bills will be hard for everyone to swallow. colletta smith, bbc news, on the wirral. the petrol giant bp say the situation at its forecourts appears to be stabilising — after days of queues at the pumps. however, petrol retailers are reporting a mixed picture across the country. 0ur transport correspondent caroline davies is with me, what's the situation? it's very patchy, the demand for fuel has still not gone down to normal levels. so retailers have said the situation at the pumps has been improving this week, but that improvement has been slowing down. much like a car running out of petrol, the concern is that it could stall altogether. petrol, the concern is that it could stallaltogether. now, petrol, the concern is that it could stall altogether. now, they say that 26% of their members run dry today. 27%

on the south—east. it is also getting more political. so, the labour leader keir starmer said today that the government need to be taking emergency action to tackle the crisis, and that includes trying to get temporary visas for foreign drivers through faster. the government have had their tankers out on the road for the last few days, and we have been told to expect the army in the next few days. they promised these 5000 additional visas. those drivers won't arrive until, at the earliest, later this month. quite a lot of the measures they have introduced will take time to work through. it still hasn't reassured people. the big question is, what will?— question is, what will? caroline davies, thank _ question is, what will? caroline davies, thank you. _ technical problems have hit

of the uk is bringing in a scheme quite like scotland. the government yeah hopes it will encourage more people to get double jabbed. but the introduction has proved politically controversial, beset by glitches and far from straightforward. one in every 20 children of secondary school age in england is infected with coronavirus, according to the latest estimates from the office for national statistics. this is the highest reported rate for this age group — or any other — since the pandemic began. our health editor hugh pym is here. we are talking to 11—15 —year—olds. how significant is

back, whereas case rates had gone up in england and wales and were uncertain in northern ireland. yes, that 11—15 —year—old age group saw the sharpest increase in infection rates, and the rates. there were increases as well for younger primary school children. of course, children are very, very of course, children are very, very unlikely to get seriously ill. add the vaccination programme for 12—15 —year—olds has onlyjust got under way. so, that needs a little bit of time to have an impact. so, the question is what extent these increases might spread further in local communities. there was better news in terms of the treatment of covid today. the us drug manufacturer merck are said trials of a tablet had gone so well though have halted them and they were seeking permission for emergency authorisation. but it still has to be cleared by medical regulators on both sides of the atlantic. at the start of the pandemic australia shut its international borders — and they've remained closed. but now the government has announced that from next month double vaccinated australians will finally be allowed to travel again. it will be particularly welcome news for the tens of thousands of australians who've been stranded abroad since last year. shaimaa khalil reports from sydney. a decision millions have been waiting for. australia had sealed itself off from the world since the

the pandemic differently. eur new south wales, an outbreak of code 19 has stabilised and the state is getting ready to open up after months of lockdown, but the situation is different in queensland and western australia, for example, where they are still striving for zero covid and continue to be very strict with their borders. by next month, you could get a whereby someone here in sydney would be able to travel to london but not to brisbane or perth. while the practicalities of resuming international travel will be tricky, there is no doubt that this is a big day for australia. finally

pigs if the government doesn't take urgent action to ease a labour shortage. they say a lack of workers is creating backlogs at meat processing plants around the uk. the national pig association says farms are running out of space to keep their animals. the government says it's working closely with the pig industry to address the shortages. luxmy gopal reports. healthy livestock at risk of going straight to landfill. pigs currently aren't being slaughtered at a fast enough rate and face being culled instead. all of these pigs will have to be culled. all of them? yes. and how many are there? just under 2,000. the backlog of pigs has been building up at this farm in east yorkshire. and, with large numbers of piglets soon needing to move in, there just isn't enough space. we've never faced this. the pig industry goes through peaks and troughs, but we've never faced the prospect of killing healthy animals. culling has already started on some farms, with the national farmers union warning 150,000 more pigs will need to be destroyed in the next ten days. the problems stem from worker shortages at meat processing plants. the industry says it's about 15,000 workers short — around double the vacancy rate until brexit and the pandemic, when many foreign workers — who made up as much as 80% of the workforce in some plants — went home. we've tried all the things the government's asked us to do, in terms of raising wages and things like that. but there's a lot of people that are, sort of, and a lot ofjob vacancies out there at the moment, and it's really hard to recruit. particularly, what we need are skilled butchers to do this. this is notjust something we can pull people off the street. wages for meat processing have been rising steadily. a year ago, the starting salary for a basic processing job was around £18,500. that's now risen to around £22,000. starting as a butcher, you'd earn around £23,000 last year — that's now up to around £26,500. the government says it's keeping the market under review and says its continuing to work closely with the industry to try and find ways of addressing the pressures facing it. for this farmer and others, there's growing urgency — the animals here will need to be destroyed by the end of the month unless the situation improves soon. luxmy gopal, bbc news. the green party has elected two new leaders. carla denyer and adrian ramsay are now the co—leaders afterjonathan bartley stood down, and sian berry chose not to seek re—election. red—hot lava from a volcano erupting on the spanish island of la palma has reached the sea, sending out vast clouds of steam and toxic gases. many homes and crops have been destroyed and thousands of people forced to flee, since the eruption began 11 days ago. 0ur correspondent danjohnson joins us from la palma. yes, the volcano just keeps on erupting. it keeps rumbling, this thundering, echoing sound around the island. and the larva has reached the sea. that is what is happening on the edge of the coast, where that steam is rising from the red—hot lava as it touches the cold water, and that is where the concern is that toxic gas is being released. fortunately, the wind direction today means it is blowing that way instead of towards where people are still living, because so many people have been evacuated, but new lava flows were detected last night, meaning more villagers are at risk, and everyone here understands the threat that they are living under, because this volcano and its lava flow has changed notjust people's lives here, but the actual lay of the landscape. welcome to the newest part of la palma — a volcanic island extension that's growing all the time. and all this lava has destroyed 900 homes and forced thousands more to be abandoned. emily and augustine are the latest to pack up, ready to leave, fearful it's heading their way. it won't stop. that's my one big fear, we are onlyjust seeing the beginning. and there's augustine's mum
