In all, 40,000 are aiming to complete the course. On the first day of the conservative Party Conference in manchester, borisjohnson has declined to rule out further tax rises. He said the country had been hit by a pandemic, the like of which had not been seen in our lifetimes, and that the government wouldnt be irresponsible with the public finances. Asked about the shortage of Lorry Drivers threatening supplies of food and fuel, he said the country couldnt simply reach for the lever of Uncontrolled Immigration and suggested firms pay more to attract more staff. Heres our deputy political editor, Vicki Young A lot has happened since the last time conservatives were here in manchester. An election victory, brexit and a pandemic. Is the country in crisis, sir . Now the Prime Minister has a Petrol Crisis on his hands. He is not keen to speculate on how long all this disruption will last. Is Rishi Sunak Right In Saying these problems, these delays, could go on until christmas, or is he wrong . I think what youre seeing. Just right or wrong. Ithink. Rishi is right, invariably, in everything he says. I right. But what youre seeing, it depends how you interpret what hes saying, andrew. Borisjohnson said britain is going through a Period Of Adjustment. When people voted for change in 2016 and when people voted for change again in 2019, as they did, they voted for the end of a broken model of the uk economy that relied on low wages and low skill and chronic low productivity. What we cant do is reach for the lever called Uncontrolled Immigration. The government has been forced, though, to issue thousands of extra visas for foreign Lorry Drivers and workers in meat processing. The argument youll hear all week from ministers is that wages are rising. But taxes are too, thats not something many tories welcome. Mrjohnson said covid was a fiscal meteorite and billions had to be spent to look after people. I can tell you you have no fiercer and more zealous opponent of unnecessary tax rises than me, but we have had to deal with a pandemic on a scale which this country has not seen before in our lifetimes, and long before. We dont want to raise taxes, of course we dont. Are you going to do it again, though . But what we will not i do is be irresponsible with the public finances. And you mention margaret thatcher. Are you going to do it again . If i can possibly avoid it, i do not want to raise taxes again. Ministers talk about the british economy being in a Transition Phase. They hope that businesses will stop being dependent on cheap Foreign Labour and that workers here will start to feel better off, but costs are rising and taxes are going up, and nobody knows how long the disruption to the supply chain will go on for, or how bad its going to get. Opponents say borisjohnson has a habit of not preparing properly. Hell need a watertight plan for the months ahead. Vicki young, bbc news, manchester. Nick eardley is in manchester. Hello, thank you.

The Taliban In Afghanistan say several people have been killed in a blast outside a mosque in the capital kabul. 20 others were injured as a Memorial Service was taking place for a taliban deputy minister. It is the first major explosion in the city since the final withdrawal of International Troops back in august. Caliban Officials Say this explosion happened outside or very close to one of the biggest mosques in afghanistan as there were plans to hold a Memorial Service for the late mother of the taliban spokesperson and the Deputy Information Minister and the Deputy Information Minister and culture, who passed away last week. In fact, the taliban had announced this Memorial Service a day earlier. This has come as a big shot, even for taliban officials because it is a major attack on a gathering called by the taliban, and we understand that several people have been killed and injured. A number of people have been taken to hospital, and some eyewitness accounts said there was gunfire soon after this blast. So this has come as a big surprise and shock for the taliban, who have been trying to assert their authority over afghanistan in the last 6 7 weeks after they seized power in mid august. And now, it is a wake up call even for the temper macro, even though no group has admitted responsibility for this blast. In the past, the Islamic StateGroup Militants have carried out similar attacks. More now on the fallout of the murder of Sarah Everard and the sentencing of her killer Wayne Couzens, and in scotland anyone approached by a lone Police Officer will now be offered the chance to speak with Control Room Staff to check their identity. Helena wilkinson has more details. When Wayne Couzens kidnapped, raped and murdered Sarah Everard, he was a serving metropolitan Police Officer. He used his position to trick sarah into a car he had hired by showing her his warrant card and falsely arresting her. After he was sent to prison for life, the met commissioner spoke outside the old bailey. This man has brought shame on the met. Speaking frankly, as an organisation, we have been rocked. I absolutely know that there are those who feel their trust in us is shaken. Police forces across the country are now looking at ways to reassure the public and restore trust. The metropolitan police said people stopped by a lone plain clothes officer should challenge their legitimacy, but many wonder why it should be up to the public to ask the questions. Police scotland has now issued new advice for its force. Under the new process, if a lone officer approaches a member of the public, they will proactively offer an identity check. The officers personal radio will be put on loudspeaker, allowing Control Room Staff to confirm they are who they say they are. And if a lone officer becomes involved in an incident, they will call 999 and allow the member of the public to speak directly to Control Room Staff. Police scotland said the force recognised the understandable public concern about the horrendous murder of Sarah Everard and the onus was on them to provide reassurance to women in particular.

The french businessman Bernard Tapie has died at the age of 78. He moved into cycling after building up a retail empire. Our paris correspondent has been telling us more about his life. He reincarnated himself in 2000 and became a soap actor and hosted his own Television Programmes as well, so he was a Jack Of All Trades and a larger than life figure. A very interesting figure, and an important figure in modern france. The story briefly is that he is a Self Made Man who made millions, having come from nowhere. He managed to reconcile if you like the left wing instincts and background with the idea of being rich being ok, and in that sense was a very modern man. Before that, Business People had been on the right, but he was a man of the people who became very rich, became a tycoon, and yet kept in touch with the masses from where he came. The other important thing about him is the idea that television was his medium, he was a communicator. He represents very much the world that came after him from 80s and 90s onwards, tele was all and he was a Prime Manipulator of television and communicating was his great asset. People loved him. He was a very successful businessman, but had a number of brushes with the law. He always sailed very close to the wind on the law. He knew the law of business very well with all its holes. The spanish Prime Minister has said the government will give 230 million in reconstruction aid to the island of la palma because of the volcano there. Overnight, scientists recorded eight new earthquakes and say activity in the area remains intense. As almost two weeks after the first eruption on la palma. Dan johnson reports now from the island. The weekend chores now begin with clearing endless volcanic dust. Ramon only moved here four months ago, but hes not letting this relentless Eruption Weigh too heavily. Translation its true theres uncertainty now, but this will be over and people will be stronger, and theyll start again and push this island forward. La palmas coastline is pushing forward into the atlantic, as lava hits the sea and sets hard. Satellite pictures show how it sliced through this island. And some of the british scientists here as part of the International Team are monitoring gas levels and tracking fresh streams of lava from new vents that have opened up. Thats why thousands of people are still being kept from their homes, while many thousands more have been told to stay in and keep windows closed, safe from the gases. I am afraid, very, very much. And at night it always makes like boom, boom, boom, and im afraid to sleep here. Will you stay . No. The volcano is still really active. Theres more lava flowing and more ash too. And look at the effect that is having on these, the nearest homes. Just look at the amount of volcanic dust there is in the bottom of the Swimming Pool there. A really big effort for people here to keep their homes safe and to keep them clean. Over this side, you get a real perspective on the trail of lava. All that black steaming mound flowing down the hillside. This eruption has already produced twice as much lava as the last one here 50 years ago, and after an intense, amazing fearful fortnight, the signs are theres more to come. Danjohnson, bbc news, la palma. Hello, we have still got a blustery wind out there, which has been bringing a mixture of sunshine and showers. A few showers reaching eastern areas, but most are in the west. More showers continuing this evening and overnight, particularly across more Southern Parts of england and wales. Keeping it mild. Where we have clearer skies further north in North Eastern scotland, temperatures will be down to four or five celsius. More sunshine to come, but also more showers tomorrow and not as windy yesterday. The bulk of the showers will be in the west with the showers will be in the west with the sunny skies towards the east. Temperature wise the numbers look similar across many parts of the country to today, but across wales and the south west it will be cooler because the cloud will increase in the afternoon and by the evening it is much wetter.

Earlier, my colleague shaun ley discussed borisjohnsons comment in more details with Sebastian Payne from the financial times, and sam lister from the daily express. The public wants to see the fuel sorted and the Food Shortages resolved, but i think what we have seen from the Prime Minister today, he is trying to push this back onto business. He has been talking about a Period Of Adjustment while businesses adapt to the new reality. He is trying to put the blame back on to the businesses, saying it is time for them to pay higher wages to attract the staff and that is the way forward. Its curious this relationship that has developed with business, from a conservative Prime Minister, we had him saying quite a while ago when we were talking about brexit effects, he used an expletive deleted about business and at the same time he is trying to say that we love business and it is very important, but he seems to be saying, stop blaming whitehall for problems that should be sorted out in the free market economy. I think when you heard the Prime Ministers comments this morning, it is very clear what he is saying, hes saying we are not going back to the economic model we had before, which was very reliant on low skilled, cheap labour coming from across europe. That has buttressed large parts of the uk economy, from hospitality to farming, including hgv drivers as well, and his message is that what needs to happen is wages need to go up, and that is probably a message that is popular with voters, but as sam was just saying, the crucial thing is the disruption here. The chancellor said in an interview on saturday that this could take several months to get better and we could see disruptions throughout christmas, and i think people at the conference here today will be happy to see that, but the people in the outside world, i do not know how long they will stomach this. The Prime Minister has made it very clear, he is not going to put more visas or have more migration and toughing that out as a way of putting it is interesting strategy. He thinks he has got the political space, the conservatives are eight points ahead in the polls, he is still the most popular person ahead of keir starmer, to be Prime Minister, he is in a Strong Political position to try and do this. What do you think is his task and the task of other conservatives this week, sam . Particularly in the light of the Labour Conference last week. Yes, steady as she goes, we are at least two years out from an election and so it is a bit of a steady as she goes. But i think certainly, the Prime Minister, he has got three things he wants to focus on this week, that is crime, climate and the economy. That is what he will be focusing on. He wants to set the agenda ahead of the cop26 Climate Conference in glasgow, he wants to show that the tories are the party, still the party that is tough on crime and tomorrow you will see the chancellor give his main speech, and they certainly want to set the agenda in terms of the economy, talking about how britain is set to be the Fastest Growing economy in the g7, and talking about the plan for jobs and that is their focus this week anyway. Seb, there are noises, not least from mps who represent constituencies not so very far from manchester, closer to them than london, you have written a book about the impact the conservatives have made in swathes of the country where at least at a parliamentary level, they have been absent for decades, if it ever existed, certainly not in modern times. How Big A Challenge is that now that he is facing, from his own backbenchers, the people in a sense who gave him his majority at westminster . The key thing for Boris Johnson is about delivery, we know what the vague vision is, to pour money into the so called red wall of the places that voted tory for the first time in living memory, and backed brexit and you heard that in his comments when he was talking about wages, he said in 2016 and in 2019, people voted for change and he has now got to deliver that. We have gone through the pandemic and brexit and people need to see stuff happening, new projects delivered and for me the most crucial person is michael gove, who was designated the Secretary Of State for levelling up, this is one of these great Catchall Phrases that politicians love, it could mean anything to anyone, but the task is to put meat on that. If you look behind us, the slogan is getting the job done, and any political conference that says that, you might think has run out of ideas. Its quite workmanlike. That is the task for ministers, to say we are going to deliver change, this is what it looks like and what success in levelling up looks like as well, so hopefully we will get some policy announcements, some meat on those ideas, but as sam says, it is steady as she goes, not like the Labour Conference last week, when keir starmer had a big challenge, it is not as Big A Challenge here for boris at all. Of the uk adjusting away from a broken economic system. Is the country in crisis, sir . As the conservative Party Conference opens in manchester hes been pressed on fuel, Lorry Drivers and other skilled workers. What we cant do is in all these sectors simply go back to the tired, failed old model and reach for the lever called, Uncontrolled Immigration. Fuel retailers say supplies have normalised in many places. Two new streams of lava erupt from the la palma volcano as activity intensifies. And theyre back and off the London Marathon returns as a mass event. Good afternoon. The conservative Party Conference is underway in manchester, with the Prime Minister insisting the economy is Bouncing Back following the pandemic. But with drivers still facing problems re fuelling in some parts of southern england, theres continuing concern that delivery issues could affect Food Supplies in the coming months. Speaking to the bbc, Boris Johnson couldnt say whether shortages would end before christmas or rule out further tax rises. Heres our deputy political editor, vicki young.

The authorities on the spanish Canary Island of la palma say the Cumbre Vieja Volcano has blown open two more fissures. In the last 24 hours, scientists recorded eight new earthquakes and say activity in the area remains intense almost two weeks after the first eruption. Our correspondent Danjohnson Reports from la palma. The weekend chores now begin with clearing endless volcanic dust. Ramon only moved here four months ago, but hes not letting this relentless Eruption Weigh too heavily. Translation its true theres uncertainty now, but this will be over and people will be stronger, and theyll start again and push this island forward. La palmas coastline is pushing forward into the atlantic, as lava hits the sea and sets hard. Satellite pictures show how it sliced through this island. And some of the british scientists here as part of the International Team are monitoring gas levels and tracking fresh streams of lava from new vents that have opened up. Thats why thousands of people are still being kept from their homes, while many thousands more have been told to stay in and keep windows closed, safe from the gases. I am afraid, very, very much. And at night it always makes like boom, boom, boom, and im afraid to sleep here. Will you stay . No. The volcano is still really active. Theres more lava flowing and more ash too. And look at the effect that is having on these, the nearest homes. Just look at the amount of volcanic dust there is in the bottom of the Swimming Pool there. A really big effort for people here to keep their homes safe and to keep them clean. Over the side, you get a real perspective on the trail of lava. All that black steaming mound flowing down the hillside. This eruption has already produced twice as much lava as the last one here 50 years ago, and after an intense, amazing fearful fortnight, the signs are theres more to come.

Most showers into the western side of the uk, plenty of sunshine, at least earlier on today, across Eastern Parts of england. More cloud and a few showers have been working their way into these areas. Overnight, we are keeping showers going across a large part of the country, it may get wetter across Southern Parts of england and wales and with those gusty winds it should be quite a bit milder.

Strong wind likely tuesday, around coastal areas and that will make it feel cold coupled with the rain. Large parts of the country looking at maximum temperatures of 13 on tuesday. Once the area of low pressure arrives, it will continue into the evening and push away slowly towards Continental Europe on wednesday. Still looking like quite a windy start across Eastern Parts of england with cloud left over and a few showers, that will move through, wind starts to drop and sunshine coming through in many areas before the cloud increases in Northern Ireland, the next Weather System looming large by the end of the day.
