compromised how are you affected by the outage or was it nice to have some time off from social media? get in touch with me on twitter. the nhs says a landmark new treatment for sickle cell will keep thousands of people out of hospital over the next three years and coming up this hour....with more teenagers making money as influencers on social media we report on whether the rules for under—18s are strict enough hello, and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. more than 200,000 children have been victims of paedophile priests and other clergy over the last 70 years in france, according to a report published in the last few minutes. the head of a commission into sexual abuse within the catholic church said the perpetrators were protected by what he called a �*veil of silence�* with victims often treated with a �*cruel indifference.�* 0ur correspondent hugh schofield is in paris. the figure is the head of an enquiry said were overwhelming, 216,000 children, possibly more when you include abuse by other members of the clergy. include abuse by other members of the cler: . ~ ,, . .,, , the clergy. when you include abuse b la the clergy. when you include

groups that were run by the church, catholic schools, other institutions which come under the rubric catholic, if you include them, you get a monstrous figure of one third of a million children abused an between 1950 and 2020. 216,000 if it is only priests, a part of a million if you include lay people working under the roman catholic church. it is a monumentalfigure. yes, it is over a long period of time but nonetheless it is a figure that is going to strike people extremely hard here in france, not only people in congregations on the minority basis but the whole country. it is nothing new, of course, abuse in the catholic church, we know the church has been speaking of rooting it out and confronting its dark reality past and present, but this is a very, very cruel unsparing analysis of what has gone wrong and interestingly, up on the podium at the press conference was the leader of one of the main victims groups, he was grateful to the report writers and authors and also incredibly critical to the church leaders who were in the audience they are saying, basically, shame on you, you must pay for your crimes. he said it slowly, you must now pay for your crimes. he said it slowly, you must now pay foryour crimes. it he said it slowly, you must now pay for your crimes. it was an intense emotional moment of reckoning and the detail of the report drawn up by these figures who are universally respected, it has such authority that the church will be able to do nothing but reacts in a radical way to what is revealed. 1milli nothing but reacts in a radical way to what is

church on parts of french society and the growing recognition of what was going on, willingness to talk about it and so on. nonetheless it he made clear that the problem is not behind us. he said very clearly, when it comes to prosecutions, it is possible, but because most of this happened in the past, it falls under the prescription of the statute of limitations which means most cases will not be able to prosecute, but there will be some. find will not be able to prosecute, but there will be some.— there will be some. and in the anal sis there will be some. and in the analysis in _ there will

read the whole report, i saw the press conference, and they had not got to explaining exactly what they�*re recommending. yes indeed, of course, it goes to the root of these things that they will be recommendations. it is not a question of saying it will not happen again, it is question of reforming the church from top to bottom, changing its perception, it said before that it wants to rid this out and stop abuse and so on. it recognises this. but it has gone on and worse than that, and this is what has come out over and again from interviewing the victims is the sense of shame and mistreatment that was even worse that followed when they try to make this public and they try to make this public and they were hashed out with money or told that no one would believe them or more recently, when it has become more current to talk about these things, found themselves having to struggle to get compensation or to be believed in many cases. with the church instinct still there to cover up, to yes admit that there were rogue priests but never to grasp the sheer systemic scale of the problem. this report hopes to get the church to realise that this is not a question of rogue priests, it is something written into the history, the essence, the very nature of the church as an authoritarian top—down mail institution with no real mechanism written into it to correct its faults. ., ~ , ., , . the prime minister says only 127 drivers have applied for the new visas to drive hgvs in the uk after the government relaxed visa rules for up to 5,000 drivers. let�*s get more on what the prime minister has been saying from the conservative party conference. if you big themes in the round of interviews that borisjohnson dead this morning ahead of his conference speech tomorrow, one of those about the supply chain issues, the shortage of drivers, he seemed to say that it was down to business, not providing the right facilities for drivers, that and the combination

which the unfreezing of the global economy after covid—19 is producing outcomes here in the uk that are either broadly similar with elsewhere or have particular twists, not least, according to some, associated with the uk departure from the european union. boris johnson in his interviews in the last couple of hours, he rose up in front of tv cameras and radio microphones and is as loads of questions which are broadly similar as, look, this has to be looked at in the global context. but as you say, one of the attempts of the government has billed here to try and ease and mitigate against the problems is to up to 5,000 foreign lorry drivers into the uk given the shortage here which is around 100,000, the uk now directly in control of its own immigration policy as a result of leaving the european union. the prime minister acknowledges only 127 lorry drivers have said they will come. this was the response of the prime minister. it is a fascinating illustration of the problem of the

a hate crime and he was asked if the government were going to do anything new, introduce new laws which might keep women safe. what did he say to those two questions? aha, did he say to those two questions? huge amount of reflection from every level of society around dining tables, kitchen tables and workplaces of women�*s safety in the light of the murder of sarah everard and the conviction in last week and crucially the role of the system and the perceived failings in the justice system. the question is is the set of laws that sit on the uk statute book adequate to deal with the scale of the problem? in particular, the suggestion that misogyny should be a hate crime. it was put to the prime minister that perhaps it should and he said, no, it shouldn�*t. the perhaps it should and he

which will rent out the conservative conference, happening in 2a hours. conservative conference, happening in 24 hours-— 0nly only if you drivers have applied for temporary visas to come to the uk, there prime minister placed the blame on the road haulage industry who had only produced 127 names so far. earlier i spoke to the logistics group who said the government were trying to deflect their incompetence onto the sector. who is going to leave their country in a two—week window to come to work in a two—week window to come to work in the uk for six months only to go back after that. it was never attractive in the workplace. it is not going to go christmas, even if we had 100,000 drivers who wanted to join tomorrow and become an hgv driver, it would take government over 12 months to get them through the test, at best. they need to increase testing capacity extremely quickly. use the ministry of defence, use the private sector and put hgv drivers on the workplace. another area where labour shortages are causing major issues is an agriculture where farmers are having to pay labourers up to £30 per hour to pay labourers up to £30 per hour to pick vegetables. thank you very much for your timejoining us on bbc news today. does that figure sound right? 30p an hour to pay workers? that is absolutely right. i have seen those advertisements and heard from other growers that they are paying up from other growers that they are paying up to £1000 per week to try and recruit people to harvest crops at the moment. bang, the prime minister says this is the market working things out. that people should be paid more for those kinds ofjobs. how do you respond to that? let�*s put it in perspective. there always have been decent opportunities to come and work in fresh produce industry. the rates of pay have been pretty good, they have been very competitive, there are opportunities to earn decent money. but what we are seeing at the moment is a complete shortage and growers who are desperate to try and find workers because they have crops in the ground and commitments with retailers to fulfil, you are seeing these escalation in which costs. the real problem here is these businesses operate on very, very slim margins. most growers are operating on one or 2%, labour costs well represent 30% of production costs. the big question is how are those costs going to be recouped? are the answers tina bell at that level? at £30 per hour. — unsustainable at that level? the combination _ unsustainable at that level? the combination of _ unsustainable at that level? tue: combination of escalating unsustainable at that level? tte: combination of escalating labour costs, increased haulage costs, all of these things is making the job unsustainable. what we will see is an

demand for food were met. i think a lot of growers will be mildly towards a hugely irritated by those the uk has one of the lowest food because of any country in europe. typically, we spent about seven or 8% of disposable income on food. part of that has been because there has been enormous pressure on because all the way round. if the government is going to argue that we have become drunk on cheap labour, i think we have to ask the question, have we become drunk on the cost of cheap food?— cheap food? that is an interesting cuestion, cheap food? that is an interesting question. on _ cheap

to do it, it is the holy grail, all around the world, because everybody is struggling with labour. but it cannot be done overnight, it takes time, it takes huge amounts of investment and what we are saying is, for goodness�* sake, wejust investment and what we are saying is, for goodness�* sake, we just need some time to adapt, because some of the problems we are encountering now were not foreseeable. when we set out at the start of 2021, i think we were hopeful that those people who were hopeful that those people who were on settled status would remain in the uk, that has not happened. the seasonable work permit scheme which was set up which was a great addition, was very slow to get off the ground and you have this combination of things that have not worked as everybody expected and intended. what we are saying is, for heaven sake, let�*s just find a temporary solution to get us out of these problems and make sure we do not erode what is a fantastic industry and

social media services facebook, whatsapp and instagram are back up and running, after a major global blackout. all three services, which facebook owns, could not be accessed over the web or on smartphone apps, for six hours. a staggering 3.5 billion people around the world use facebook, whatsapp and instagram. a website which tracks outages said yesterday�*s blackout was the largest failure it had ever seen, with 10.6 million problems reported around the world. facebook has blamed an internal technical issue, and company boss mark zuckerberg has apologised for the disruption. shares in facebook plunged by nearly 5% its largest decline in nearly a year. from silicon valley, our technology correspondent james clayton reports. the number of people that use facebook and its spin—offs whatsapp and instagram is nothing short of staggering — 3.5 billion people across the world, including tens of thousands of businesses. still, when something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. in a statement released early on tuesday morning, facebook said... we want to make clear at this time we believe the root cause of this outage was a faulty configuration change. we also have no evidence that user data was compromised as a result of this downtime. the outage was said to have caused mayhem in facebook�*s headquarters here in silicon valley, as technicians scrambled to work out what was going on. facebook was losing over £100,000 a minute and its share price fell. mark zuckerberg personally lost around £4 billion. most of these kinds of outages last for around an hour. what made this so unusual was how long it took to fix. and the scale of it, too — the outage wasn�*t localised, it was global, affecting users across the world. you might see... this couldn�*t have happened at a worse time for facebook. today a whistle—blower who used to work for facebook, frances haugen, will tell us politicians that facebook�*s own research found that instagram was dangerous to teenagers�*

increasingly critical scrutiny of facebook going on about how it operates its services. this is all coming together at the same time, quite a challenge for the company to deal with. . ~ ,., challenge

right to protest with the rights of people not in the protest not to be unduly inconvenienced as something the police have got to juggle something the police have got to juggle every day and i�*m not sure they have all the tools to be able to get it right on every occasion. the direction of travel and the movement is something we would support and we did our inspection and we get a public survey which showed the public tolerance for serious disruption caused by protest, whatever your view on the validity of the point the protesters are making, the public don�*t really like disruption by a factor of three orfour to one. i think it will get broad public support but, you know, a higher sentence is not going to work if the protesters don�*t think they are likely to be confected because of

the vetting of would—be police officers, when we spoke to viewers about this last week and about the suggestions from the head of the metropolitan police that there should be some alteration of people�*s behaviours, a lot of people said, why should we have to change our behaviour? there should be about letting police recruits, making sure they are fit to serve. your thoughts on that and also how do you think the police should deal with any individuals who are currently police officers who may be suspected of behaving inappropriately, exchanging inappropriately, exchanging inappropriate messages? not really having the right mind—set? we were commissioned by the home secretary a couple of months ago to inspect the metropolitan police regarding thejohnny morgan case you might have heard about, a case where an independent panel accuse the met of institutional corruption, the home secretary ordered us to look into eight and at its heart is the question over weather the wrong people can get into the police and, for whatever reason, whether the wrong people are allowed tuesday in the police. so the question of whistle—blowing, bad behaviour, people being sceptical in their motives, it is hugely important and one we are already looking at in connection to daniel morgan and specifically the met. if the home secretary wants us to she can look and encourage us to look more widely than that and expand that, but i think you�*re absolutely right, it should not be for the public to change their behaviour, it should be for police to demonstrate they have the most rigorous systems in place for making sure the wrong people are not in the police and do not stay and the police. iher not in the police and do not stay and the police.— and the police. her ma'esty's insector

hospital. with more teenagers making money at social media influences, we report on whether the rules for under 18s are strict enough. the first new treatment for sickle—cell disease in 20 years is to be given to patients on the nhs in england. the condition is incurable, and mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. the drug involved has been described as revolutionary and could cut visits to a&e by 40%. here�*s more from our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell. shejoins me from reading. tell us more about this first new treatment in 20 years?— in 20 years?

as a significant development when it i significant development when it comes to treatment options for sickle—cell patients, they have been limited over the last two decades. the race equality foundation has described this as a game changer for ethnic minority communities in england because we know it is predominantly a disease which affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. it is important to say at this stage that only 300 patients a year will be eligible to take this drug and babel had to be over 16, when you consider there are 15,000 sickle—cell patients in the uk, only a small number of people will have access to this new treatment because more clinical information is needed, which will be gathered through clinical trials over the next few years to determine how cost—effective it is, if there are long—term benefits for a majority of patients and whether it is a viable option which can be routinely given to a majority of sickle—cell patients in england. tell

common blood disorder yet there have been limited treatment options over the last two decades. it largely affects people from african and caribbean communities and the way it works, the red blood cells do not work in the red blood cells do not work in the normal way and a healthy individual so there tend to be blockages in the blood cells, meaning less oxygen being transferred around the body, so they need regular blood transfusions to ensure they do not have organ failure and the blood transfusions keep them alive. at the moment many patients and that having blood transfusions, they have other medication like foley catheter, antibiotics, when the pain gets really bad they are admitted into hospital for treatment like morphine —— they have other medication like folic acid. the new drug crizanlizumab can be taken alone or given alongside standard treatments and data will need to be monitored to see whether it is something that will work for a majority of sickle—cell patients, we need to work out if it has long—standing benefits for those patients and if it is affordable for the nhs for it to be routinely offered to people with this lifelong condition. hose with this lifelong

happened a lot sooner, why haven�*t there been more treatment options for these communities? it is the well�*s most common genetic blood disorder so in terms of levelling up it will be seen as a breakthrough really because the data looks promising, as if people who have been taking this medication in the very small clinical trials that have been turn in the moment had seen a significant reduction in the amount of time spent in hospital by up to 40%, so by looking at how effective this treatment is, whether it will work for a majority of sickle—cell patients, it will be encouraging

unmarried mothers in northern ireland are to find out what form of inquiry will be held into the abuse they experienced. the independent investigation will examine mother and baby homes and work houses known as "magdalene laundries" which were run by religious orders. here�*s our ireland correspondent, chris page. the secrets of these institutions are being shattered by the stories of those who were once shamed. more than 10,000 unmarried women were sent to mother and baby homes in northern ireland. they and their sons and daughters were the victims of a harsh morality. you have hundreds and thousands of children who haven�*t been claimed, who therefore have no voice. my brother didn�*t have a voice at the time, either. but i certainly will be his voice now. fionnuala was adopted from a home in belfast. she discovered her brother had died as a baby, and searched for his burial place. i wouldn�*t call it a grave. it was more of a pit. there�*s over 30 babies in, you know, the spot where he was buried. they were all just thrown in together like they didn�*t matter, in unconsecrated ground, in a bog at the bottom of a cemetery. she recently had a headstone put up to mark her sibling�*s 50th birthday. finally he had his name emblazoned in marble. that�*s what he always should have had. ultimately it�*s the bravery of survivors who�*ve broken the stigma by speaking out that has led to this inquiry. they want answers and accountability for what happened in these institutions, for the suffering of women and their children. the state violated women's rights to equality... un human rights experts have investigated the homes across the island of ireland. we have evidence and reports of systematic torture and ill—treatment of the girls and women who were involuntarily detained, stripped of their identities, forced to work constantly, not paid wages. unpaid labour was particularly exhausting in these institutions — magdalene laundries. there were four in northern ireland — over 3,000 women spent time in one. caroline was sent to a laundry in londonderry during her early teens. it was very frightening. very steamy, very warm. the constant machines, you could hear the machines always going, you know, at a very young age. and the women taught me how to use a presser. and i mean it was a presser as big as this table. so there were many women in there who had been there for many years. a long, long time. some of them women were in from their young years, and died in it. there�*s a lasting legacy of trauma. survivors hope the inquiry will expose wrongdoing and bring healing. the most important thing is the children that was took away. the women�*s identity that was took away. women was ashamed. shouldn�*t have been ashamed. tripled from chris page. —— that reports from chris page. the us has begun flying hundreds of migrants from haiti, back to the caribbean, after they�*d illegally crossed into texas via mexico. they�*d been housed in a makeshift camp, in the border city of del rio. there�*s been a surge in haitians trying to flee political instability and natural disasters in their country, hoping for asylum in us. now they�*ve been returned home. 0ur south america correspondent, will grant, has the full story. many haven�*t set foot on haitian soil in almost a decade. now they are being sent back in their droves. everyday planeloads of haitian deportees arrive in port—au—prince airport, returned from the border camp in texas. exhausted and disappointed, most own nothing in haiti but the clothes on their back. daniella and her family spent five years in chile, their son was born there. now thrust back into a country on the brink of collapse. the family was never given a chance to apply for asylum by us officials, who reportedly told the deportees they were being flown to florida. translation: what hurts isn't being deported. i i knew from the start there were two options, being let in, or being departed. what hurts is the treatment we received. inhuman. most of all, the chains on our feet. we are not slaves. migration is a right, not a crime. there is some immediate aid for the disoriented deportees, but haiti can ill afford thousands more desperately poor people arriving hour after hour. as we are talking there is another bus right behind you. this is a constant return, then? yes, as i said, this is a record day. we expect flights all day coming in until this evening. the situation in haiti is critical. there are at least three humanitarian crises at the same time. there was an earthquake six weeks ago, there are people displaced by gang violence. these deportations began at the us—mexico border but there are many more thousands of haitian migrants struck around the region, bottlenecked in colombia, panama, centralamerica, a truly continent—wide crisis landing back on haiti�*s shores. like most of the child deportees, this family�*s children are foreign nationals, born in brazil and seeing haiti for the first time. on arrival they had nowhere to go and just staying at a friend�*s home in a gang controlled part of town. "what now? he asks. "we have nothing, we�*ll have to travel again. "the children aren�*t even haitians, they are brazilians. "when they ask me, what is happening, daddy? "i have to say, we haven�*t got anything here. "life is very tough." theirs is the story of so many migrants from this complex troubled nation. they went through hell to reach the us, and now find themselves back where they started, with no savings or prospects, in the one place they did everything to leave. will grant, bbc news, port—au—prince. the headlines on bbc news... an investigation finds more than 200,000 children over the past seven decades have been victims of abuse by catholic priests in france. the british prime minister confirms only a small number of people have applied for the new visas to drive hgvs in the uk after the government relaxed visa rules for up to 5000 drivers. an internal technical issue is blamed after a global blackout lasting six hours hits facebook, whatsapp and instagram — the company says there is "no evidence user data was compromised". children creating content online for other children to watch is a rapidly growing market. they�*re called kidfluencers, and some can earn up to $30 million a year. here in the uk, the bbc�*s disclosure programme has been investigating whether the rules around online advertising to under 18s are strict enough. emily brown reports. 16—year—old nicholas from edinburgh has a following on tiktok of almost 800,000 people. in brand marketing terms, that makes him a macro influencer, and of great value to advertisers. i haven�*t actually done that many brand deals but, yeah, i�*ve done a few. and they basicallyjust told me to make a video and tag them in the caption. concerns have been growing about the amount of personal data being gathered by social media companies and sold to advertisers. david scott is taking tiktok to court over it. the more you use tiktok, the it learns about you. the more you interact with the programme, the more data it is able to collect. so the algorithms are able to more specifically target you based upon what it is you are watching, what you like, what you didn�*t like. there are at least three different regulatory agencies governing this sort of content, but it is complex to navigate and nicholas�*s mother says she is concerned. when you start creating content that�*s paid for, that brings in a whole other sort of pressure that really needs to be handled very, very carefully. so far it has been a trickle, but if it develops more then we definitely are going to need to find him someone who can mentor him and navigate how to keep this something that is positive and fun. new rules came into force last month to restrict data gathering and improve children�*s privacy online. tiktok says it has made bold to product changes in the last 18 months to keep its platform a safe space for creative expression. emily brown, reporting scotland. we are going to take each in stockholm where we are

with either a suspected or confirmed case of coronavirus. an update on these figures is expected later today. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley has been following the situation at one school near holmfirth, west yorkshire. so as soon as they start to crystallise... at this school in west yorkshire, a science class. these pupils are glad to be in school. it�*s much more fun now. the lessons are more fun than what they was before. back at home, we couldn't actually do the practicals, we just had to write down the method and what they would make and now we can actually do them. you can be more interactive, yeah, and actually see - the experiments happen. for these pupils, a sense of normality, but an increasing number of their classmates are at home with covid. we are moving towards the 200 mark in terms of how many children are currently out of school with a confirmed case of covid—19. the head teacher is concerned that as covid continues to keep children out of the classroom, there are increasing risks for the most vulnerable people. whilst we can ensure that they do not fall behind academically because we have the systems in place to ensure the work is provided for them remotely, it is actually a concern for those children who really need to be in school for their welfare, and that is a concern given the numbers we are talking about. so, numberone... in schools in england, covid restrictions such as social distancing and bubbles have been lifted by the government. here at honley high, because of the increase in cases, open evenings have now been moved online. assemblies are cancelled, and the wearing of masks is being encouraged. yeah, it�*s very stressful when you have to isolate. this group of pupils are worried about catching covid and missing more time in a school. gcse mocks are next year, and then i have missed so much, and instead of revising stuff i have already done, to scramble everything together, teachers have said we're trying to rush through it a little bit to get everything done. i'm going to throw it over to you. many in the teaching profession are also feeling the pressure. at this school, nearly a fifth of staff are off with covid. you might have two or three people off in your department. then you�*re definitely going to feel that pinch for the day. trying to ensure that any supply teacher has got as much support as they need for any of the classes. so i think there is a definite additional stress when you come in in the morning and there might be two or three people off. the school is working closely with the local public health team. in a statement, the department for education says it�*s about managing the risks with ventilation, regular testing and vaccinations of older students and staff. but for this school and many across the country, keeping pupils in school and covid out continues to be a challenge. elaine dunkley, bbc news in west yorkshire. there have been more incredible scenes overnight in la palma, in the canary islands where the volcano there continues to spew lava. it�*s now been almost three weeks since the beginning of the eruption. at least 870 buildings have been completely destroyed, and 6,000 people have been evacuated. it�*s been announced that the star trek star william shatner will go where no man as old as him has gone before. the 90—year—old actor, famous for playing captain kirk aboard the starship enterprise, is heading into space as part of the crew of the next blue 0rigin flight. mr shatner will be joining three other people on board the rocket, which is due to blast off next tuesday. there was a birthday party with a difference at a zoo in shanghai. this panda trio celebrated their birthdays in style. fruit cake was on the menu but bamboo seems to have been the treat of choice. people came from across china to see the fun. the pandas even received customised gifts — barbells for the boys, bamboo purses for the girls. just a touch sexist, perhaps. the punters may not have minded, though. we have been asking today for your reaction to outages across facebook, whatsapp and instagram yesterday. sara ronson on twitter says i use facebook for my business, however i welcomed the break and enjoyed an evening off. thanks to you all for sending your comments on that. joanna gosling will be with you next. you are watching bbc news. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. some of us have seen some torrential rain this morning, leading to some flash flooding in places. and as we go through the rest of today, it is going to remain cool, wet and windy for some of us, especially across northern england and eastern scotland. it is courtesy of this area of low pressure. if you look at the isobars around it, it is telling you there�*s some strong winds around this band of rain as well. so this morning�*s rain, having cleared into the north sea, but we still have this curl of rain around the centre of an area of low pressure, and it is extending to eastern scotland, we will see some through the midlands and some showers getting into east anglia through the day. brighter skies across the rest of scotland and northern ireland with one or two showers, sunshine across wales and the south—west, brightening up across southern areas. as we head on through the evening and overnight, our rain extends closer to the north sea coastline, still brisk winds around it, some clear skies follow on behind and it�*ll be cold once again in sheltered glens with temperatures close to freezing. but as we travel further south and east, temperatures holding up overnight. so first thing in the morning we start off with the brisk winds, cloud and some rain. that moves away into the north sea. then with a transient ridge of high pressure across us it means we are looking at some sunshine, but it is not long before the next area of low pressure comes our way, introducing further outbreaks of rain to northern ireland and western scotland, some showers across wales and the south—west and also a strengthening wind. into thursday, here is our weather front draped across us once again, bringing in further rain, but we can start to pull in milder air on thursday and friday from the azores. so if we take a look at thursday in more detail, here is our weather front, draped across scotland and northern ireland. we will have more cloud and rain. more cloud too across much of england and wales, with some breaks, some drizzle here but it is turning milder. temperatures up to 20, possibly 21 degrees. and it is almost an action replay during friday. here is that weather front again draped across northern ireland and scotland, quite a bit of cloud, still some sunshine. temperatures above average across—the—board more or less, 17 to 20 or 21 quite widely, then into the weekend, our weather front starts to sink a little bit further south and in doing so brings some rain and temperatures will start to drop a date from the north as we go through the weekend, but hanging on that bit in the south. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11: the prime minister confirms only a small number of people have applied for the new visas to drive hgvs in the uk after the government relaxed visa rules for up to 5,000 drivers. they only produced 127 names. so far. and what that shows is the global shortage. courts will be given new powers to stop activists going to demonstrations following weeks of disruption by climate protesters. those measures expected to be laid out by priti patel in her speech to the conservative party conference in the next hour. we�*ll bring that to you live on the bbc news channel. an internal technical issue is blamed after a global blackout lasting six hours hits facebook, whatsapp and instagram. the company says there is "no evidence user data was compromised". an investigation finds more than 200,000 children over the past seven decades have been victims of abuse by catholic priests in france. the nhs says a landmark new treatment for sickle cell will keep thousands of people out of hospital over the next three years borisjohnson has said 127 foreign lorry drivers have applied to work in the uk on a temporary visa, out of 5,000 available places. the scheme was announced last week to try to address a shortage of drivers which has disrupted deliveries. the prime minister said the uk couldn�*t go back to a "failed model" of low wages and high immigration, and he was confident supply chains would be ok in the run—up to christmas. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is at the conservative party conference in manchester. good morning from the conference hall, counting down to priti patel giving her main speech in 40 minutes. let me bring you the main lines from boris johnson�*s let me bring you the main lines from borisjohnson�*s interviews, talking to a range of broadcasters and coming back to the main theme from him and the conservative party about these current economic troubles and these current economic troubles and the supply chain issues, queues at petrol stations, lack of staff in abattoirs. he sees this as there broader economic restructuring one of which is international, the unfreezing of the economy after covid, one which is uk specific after brexit, plenty of people blaming the brexit deal for particular problems. the prime minister says this is an opportunity to rebuild the british economy around higher wages and lower immigration. when he was asked about how few, just 127 lorry drivers have applied for the 5000 visas for overseas drivers, the prime minister said that period the nature of the international problem. it�*s a fascinating illustration of the problem of the shortage. so what, what we said to the road haulage industry was, fine, give us the names of the drivers that you want to bring in and we�*ll sort out the visas, and we have got another 5000 visas. and they only produced 127 names, so far. what that shows is the global shortage. there is a particular problem in the uk. road haulage should be a greatjob. if you invested in the truck stops, in the cabs, in pay and conditions, it should be something people in this country want to do. people have done it and enjoyed it for many years. after the killing of sarah everett by a serving police officer there has been discussion whether misogyny should not be made a hate crime, what did he say about that? in short he said, no. there has been a national conversation in the last week around the murder of sarah everard, and broader questions about safety of women on the streets, the extent to which the justice system is up to the job, extent to which the justice system is up to thejob, and the broader question around societal attitudes. in the last couple of minutes there has been a discussion on the conference full with the justice minister saying the government wants to target perpetrators of so—called banter against young women and girls, saying she wanted to eradicate disgusting behaviour and attitudes, within ten years. there is no doubt there is a societal challenge. the question to the prime minister this morning was, should the statute book be added to, does there need to be a new law particularly around misogyny. the prime minister said no. the anger over sarah everard's murder is a symptom of that wider frustration for people. so what you need to do, you want to talk about misogyny and the attitudes of the police... do think they should do what they are doing in nottingham. they are logging catcalling and wolf whistling as a misogynistic hate crime. do you think that is right? i want to get back to my key point. i think that rather than expanding the range of crimes that we want to prosecute for, we need to prosecute the existing crimes. i wouldn�*t be surprised if this is a theme, the broader issue, the consequences and the conversation prompted by the murder of sara errani, that comes out in priti patel�*s speech, not leastjust a return to the conversation by the justice minister, saying as part of a consultation around tackling violence against women and girls, there were an unprecedented 180,000 responses to that particular piece of work seeking views and perspectives around the country. people in government talk about consultation exercises and often they acknowledge in private there is hardly any engagement at all. on this topic, nearly 200,000 responses. thank you, chris. earlier i spoke to steve granite from abbey logistics group who told me the shortages issues in recruiting staff will go beyond christmas it is definitely going to go beyond christmas. even if we had 100,000 drivers knock on the door and say i want to become a hgv driver, it would take government over 12 months just to get them through the tests, at best. they need to increase testing capacity extremely quickly and use the ministry of defence and private sector, and look at putting hgv drivers on the skilled worklist. another area where labour shortages are causing major issues is in the agricultural sector with some farmers having to pay labourers up to £30 an hour to pick vegetables. jack ward is from the british growers�* association, he told us the situation is unsustainable. the combination of escalating labour costs, increased haulage costs, packaging costs. all of these things is making the job unsustainable. and what we are going to see is an erosion of our ability to feed ourselves. what i fail to understand is why the government has decided to make life so difficult for everybody. in the fresh produce industry we are desperately trying to introduce automation robotics and reduce our reliance on seasonal labour. everybody wants to do it, it is the holy grail. everyone around the world is trying to do this because everyone is struggling with labour input but it cannot be done overnight. this all takes time, it takes huge amounts of investment. what we are saying is, for goodness�* sake, we just need need some time to adapt, because i think some of the problems we are incurring now were not foreseeable. when we set out at the start of 2021, i think we were hopeful that those people who are on settled and presettled status would remain in the uk. that hasn�*t happened. the seasonal worker permit scene which was set up which was a great addition, was very slow to get off the ground. you have this combination of things that have not worked as everybody expected and intended. and what we are saying is, let us just find a temporary solution to get us out of these problems, and make sure we do not erode what is a fantastic industry, and provide consumers up and down the country with high quality, very competitively priced food. we were just hearing about the agricultural sector there. the home secretary priti patel will detail new powers she�*s giving to courts to prevent environmental activists travelling to protests. her announcement follows repeated attempts by climate campaigners from insulate britain to block motorways around london in recent weeks. earlier this morning the newjustice secretary dominic raab plans to monitor more offenders meaning more than 25,000 criminals will be fitted with ankle tags. we can speak now to gracie bradley who�*s the director of the campaign group liberty. 0n the expected announcements by priti patel on what will be happening with the legal system and tackling, making it a criminal offence for anyone who interferes with critical national infrastructure, what are your thoughts on that, and the impact of protest? what we need to remember it is a protest is a fundamental freedom, it is essential for expressing our descent and making our voice heard. it can be restricted in certain circumstances but it should not be disproportionate. the measures that are going to be announced from what i can see in combination with what is already contained in legislation, will significantly restrict every one of us in ourfundamental will significantly restrict every one of us in our fundamental freedom to protest and stand up for what we believe in. this is really concerning. do you think there is room for restriction in extremis. i don�*t know if you heard the interview roger hallam, the co—founder of extinction rebellion, gave on what should be done in the case of a protest blocking a road, and an ambulance carrying someone to hospital who is dying, he was asked whether the protest should make way, and he said no. where you see the balance of the rights in a situation like that? i think all of us would agree right to life is a fundamental human right and i don�*t think anybody would disagree with the fact emergency vehicles should be able to get to where they need to go. but i think it is unhelpful for us to only look at the most extreme cases. the reality is when you hand the police powers as broad as being proposed, they will not be confined to those extreme cases. they will be leveraged against everybody and we have to remember these powers come as part of a long trajectory in cracking down on protests, whether the mayor unlawfully banning extinction rebellion protests in 2019, women expressing their grief at clapham common last year, the reality is the government will use extreme cases to justify measures that will most likely affect everyone of us. human rights is something on the agenda because dominick rob has been speaking about changing the human rights act. let us listen to what he has said. it is absolutely perverse that someone guilty of domestic abuse then claims the right to family life to trump the public's interest in deporting him from this country. we have got to bring an end to that nonsense. applause so today i can tell you that under this prime minister before the next election we will overhaul the human rights act to end this kind of abuse of the system and to restore some common—sense to ourjustice system. how do you see that? an overhaul is a euphemistic word, what dominic raab is talking about is the weakening of the human rights at and it is straight out of the playbook we have been discussing. this is the government using extreme cases to take actions that will undermine the ability of all of us to hold the government to account and ensure our rights are respected. we must remember the human rights act is a tool all of us can use. it helped families of people who died in the hillsborough disaster to secure justice for their loved ones, by disabled people to challenge the removal of benefit payments. it is very likely the government will propose something that would weaken the ability of people the government does not like to use the human rights at, but the impact is it weakens everybody�*s ability to use it. it is quite cynical of dominic raab to use that example of violence against women, domestic abuse, as justification for overhauling the human rights at when that has been an instrumental tool in ensuring women�*s rights. when the government at a time when we are having a painful conversation about police abuse of power including in respect of violence against women, the government is planning to hand police more power. across the board this is really cynical and damaging. i hear what you are saying about your concerns about extreme examples being used to create new powers that could undermine the rights of all. how do you think those extreme cases it should be dealt with? the reality is those extreme cases it should be dealt with like all the other cases. it fundamentally undermines the rule of law if you say we will treat this case this way but actually in respect of this person who we really don�*t like we will do something completely different. equality before the law is really important. it is not about liking someone, it is about where the rights of different individuals rub up against each other. of course. balancing rights is of course. balancing rights is really important, it is important the court takes appropriate action to balance rights. but the reality... 0n to balance rights. but the reality... on that, to keep it focused on that point, do you fundamentally disagree with the government that there is now an imbalance in favour of those who are basically, the rights are given to people who are causing harm to others? i fundamentally disagree with the government on that point, i think the reality is, the government is at every turn trying to shut down people�*s ability to hold it to account, whether through photo id, weakening judicial review, the human rights at, silencing people in the street, that is the balance of power the government is trying to change. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. the chief executive of facebook mark zuckerberg has apologised after its services — including whatsapp and instagram — went down around the world for about six hours yesterday. the company says its systems have been restored, and it�*s working to fully understand what happened. our technology reporter james clayton reports. the number of people that use facebook and its spin—offs whatsapp and instagram is nothing short of staggering — 3.5 billion people across the world, including tens of thousands of businesses. so when something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. in a statement released early on tuesday morning, facebook said... the outage was said to have caused mayhem in facebook�*s headquarters here in silicon valley, as technicians scrambled to work out what was going on. facebook was losing over £100,000 a minute and its share price fell. mark zuckerberg personally lost around £4 billion. most of these kinds of outages last for around an hour. what made this so unusual was how long it took to fix. and the scale of it, too — the outage wasn�*t localised, it was global, affecting users across the world. you might see... this couldn�*t have happened at a worse time for facebook. today a whistle—blower who used to work for facebook, frances haugen, will tell us politicians that facebook�*s own research found that instagram was dangerous to teenagers�* mental health. a bad week for the social network is getting worse by the day. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. louise blain is a tech journalist who has been following the story. welcome. was this definitely not a hack or deliberate sabotage? they have confirmed this definitely was not a hack. there was so much that went wrong with this conflagration change, all the systems everything that they run all went down and only face but have the power to do that. what was happening inside of facebook which was interesting, all their systems are based on facebook so even their staff were struggling sending e—mails within their system, contacting each other, even passes to get into doors had stopped working because it all ran on facebook systems. they are saying it was within their data servers. that doesn�*t rule out someone doing it deliberately internally? that is up for debate. we don�*t know exactly how that works. the fact it has come from in there and lost them so much money. we have never had an outage. along, everyone defecting to twitter, the only social media outlet left. they don�*t want that and want to get to the bottom of it. it has been quite a week as we saw in the report, the interview with the former employee turned whistle—blower, saying facebook has consistently prioritised growth over safety. now this. how damaging is this for facebook? tremendously damaging. the addition of this on top of the accusations. it is fascinating, the whistle—blower said they are not malevolent, but they have always prioritised profit. now we have realised with this outage how dependent we are on their systems. on one hand we are finding out they just one profit as most companies do, and our businesses, personal lives, everything we do, you couldn�*t play a video game, couldn�*t talk to yourfamilies, couldn�*t play a video game, couldn�*t talk to your families, that is through facebook. they have a lot to work on. tt they have a lot to work on. it definitely shows the power of facebook and as you say how much we rely on it to communicate with each other. i was texting my parents saying don�*t worry, it is whatsapp, not just you. people use it as a vital communication tool. and businesses have suffered a lot. it has impacted on the value of facebook shares. how important will it be for facebook to swiftly understand what happened and be open about that? i think it was $7 billion they lost which took paul mark zuckerberg down to number five which took paul mark zuckerberg down to numberfive on which took paul mark zuckerberg down to number five on the richest list. they don�*t like that, they will want to speedily apologise for the situation and address the situation in congress. thank you very much. more than 200,000 children have been victims of paedophile priests and other clergy over the last 70 years in france, according to a report published in the last few minutes. the head of a commission into sexual abuse within the catholic church said the perpetrators were protected by what he called a "veil of silence" with victims often treated with a "cruel indifference". 0ur paris correspondent hugh schofield has been listening to a press conference on the report this morning and gave us this update. abuse by lay members of church run institutions, for example, if you include scout groups that are run by the church, catholic schools, other institutions which come under the rubric catholic. if you include them, you get this monstrous figure of a third of a million children abused in between 1950, and 2020, 216,000 if it isjust peace, a third of a million if you include lay abusers working under the aegis of the roman catholic church. a monumentalfigure. yes, over a long period but nevertheless a figure which will strike people extremely hard here in france, notjust people who are in congregations, but the whole country. it is nothing new, the catholic church, we note the church has been speaking of rooting it out and confronting its dark reality in the past and present. but this is a very, very cruel, unsparing analysis of what has gone wrong. interestingly are on the podium at the press conference where it was unveiled was the leader of one of the main victims groups. he was both grateful to the reports writers, authors, but also incredibly critical to the church leaders who were in his audience there, saying basically, shame on you, and you must pay for your crimes. he uttered those words slowly, you must pay now for your crimes. it was really a very, very tense, emotional moment of reckoning, and the detail of this report drawn up by these figures who are universally respected, has such authority that the church will be able to do nothing but react in a fairly radical way to what is revealed. new car registrations fell to their lowest level in september in more than two decades. figures released by the society of motor manufacturers and traders show they�*re down more than a third on a year ago. but why? i�*m joined now by our business correspondent ben thompson. really interesting, the week of september —— the weakest september in many years, the shortage of semiconductors which go into cars, it is easy to forget how many cars rely on microchips which control almost everything in the car. so, a global shortage as a result of the pandemic meant lots of factories went off—line, they weren�*t shipping as many, now they are playing catch up as many, now they are playing catch up which means not enough new cars are being made or sold. at the same time, the number of electric cars has risen sharply. given everything we have talked about, petrol shortages, given everything we have talked about, petrolshortages, huge queues at stations, people are opting for electric, but in a similar parallel there is concern there aren�*t enough charging points for electric cars. you might see a queue for a charging point in the way we are seeing queues for petrol stations. let us get thoughts from james from the society of motor manufacturers and traders. let us talk first about the semiconductor issue, it is a huge problem and means there are not enough cars available now. it is a major challenge, not one 'ust it is a major challenge, not one just on— it is a major challenge,

time now for the weather. hello again. we�*ve had some torrential rain this morning leading to some flash flooding. we are not done with some torrential rain yet. 0ur centre of low pressure is here and we have got a weather front wrapped around it, producing all this rain, especially across northern england where we could see some large rainfall totals, extending to eastern scotland, and at times we will see rain getting into the midlands and also east anglia and the south—east. 0ut towards the west, something drier and brighter with fewer showers. brisk winds around that rain, and that will continue tonight as it continues to edge in the direction of the north sea. following on behind it, there will be some clearer skies, temperatures falling away in sheltered glens close to freezing, and holding up for the rest of us. and then into tomorrow we start off with the brisk winds, the cloud and the early rain moving away into the north sea. things dry up, the sun will come out but it won�*t last because our next area of low pressure is coming our way, introducing rain across northern ireland, western scotland, into parts of wales and the south—west. hello. this is bbc news

premier league, with fewer than half of players jabbed at most clubs. it follows news that the premier league were considering rewarding clubs whose vaccination rates were high after an e—mail revealed last week that only seven of the top flight teams were at 50% fully vaccinated. the issues are similar down the football pyramid, with dr wesley tanner saying there are many reasons for the low rates, including misinformation.— misinformation. football chains are different to most _ misinformation. football chains are different to most other _ misinformation. football chains are different to most other workplaces. the players are altogether. it is an echo chamber. so if one of the senior players or an influential person has seen something on social media and that is passed to someone else, they are not necessarily likely to critically appraise where that has come from, and you can end “p that has come from, and you can end up going down a rabbit hole, you can spend two hours from one video to another due to the algorithms on social media, and the next thing you know, you believe that the earth is flat. liverpool say they have collected substantial evidence after manchester city alleged a home fan spat at their backroom staff during their 2—2 draw at anfield on sunday. liverpool are conducting a full investigation into the incident, and in a statement the club said witnesses had been interviewed, while cctv and video footage was being analysed. tammy abraham and ben chilwell will report to st george�*s park today after they were added to the england squad for their two upcoming world cup qualifiers. abraham, who moved from chelsea to roma in the summer, and his former blues team—mate chilwell, will meet up with the rest of gareth southgate�*s squad for the games with andorra and hungary. tyson fury and deontay wilder are getting ready to fight each otherfor the third time this weekend. fury knocked wilder out the last time they fought back in 2020 after the first ended in a draw, but fury admitted to bbc radio 5live steve bunce that wilder is one of the most dangerous fighters out there. there is no secrets here. i�*m dealing with a guy who could knock you clean out with one punch, and he is dealing with the same, basically. so when you have got two big heavyweights going at it on the world�*s biggest stage, you are up for a big night.

half will be shared between the two scientists for the physical modelling of earth�*s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicted global warming, and the other half goes to the discovery of the interplay disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales. we can speak to someone who can explain all of that for us, hamish johnston from physics world in bristol. he did a phd in condensed matter physics, and i know that you are passionate about physics and feel it is neglected in the media. an enormous accolade for those men. just explain to us what

often accused by other scientists of looking at a very simple systems, cherry picking what they are looking at, particles colliding and seeing what is happening. but in this case, two of these researchers, hanselman and manabe, have picked the earth�*s climate, and using simulations and a lot of physics, they have managed to understand the contributions of all the various processes that drive climate change, and that of course is an incredible scientific feat, but also an incredible service to humanity, and i am really, really chuffed that physicists doing climate science have won half of this prize. it is a long time coming, and i�*m sure that the other thousands of scientists out there who are working on climate change we�*ll be very, very pleased that and so what is the practical application of what they have done? the practical application is to save us from destroying the planet. that might sound a bit dramatic, but thanks to their work and of course the work of others, working in this field, we have a much better understanding now of what happens when you upset the apple cart, when you pump lots of c02 into the atmosphere, and unfortunately now, over the last few years, we have been seeing many of these predictions come true, so by looking at their research, and the research of others, we can decide a way forward in making sure that climate change

complicated i being recognised for. again, he - looks at very complicated systems, and he has looked at microscopic systems all the way up to systems on a par with the earth's climate, but he spent a lot of his career looking at a very interesting material called a spin glass, and that is a magnet that would really like to be a magnet butjust can't manage to do it. it is frustrated, and this frustration, the fact that this magnet can't quite be a magnet, causes a rich array of behaviours in these spin glasses, and they have fascinated physicist for a long time. and the thing is that all the mathematics and physics that has been developed for studying these spin glasses, it turns out that physicists can use them to study other things, so by studying this a very specific system of a frustrated magnet, giorgio parisi and others have developed lots of really useful techniques, and apparently, i think giorgio parisi is interested in using some of these techniques to look at how covid—19 spreads. so from a magnet that can't be a magnet to helping prevent a pandemic. i think that is some pretty profound research. ~ , , ., , , research. absolutely. it has been ureat to

incurable, and mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. the drug involved has been described as revolutionary, and could cut visits to a&e by a0%. here's more from our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell. daily medication and monthly visits to hospital have been a normal part of sarah—jane's life ever since she was a baby. i've always been quite a smiley child. she's one of 15,000 people living with sickle cell disease in the uk. i've spent a lot of my life in hospital. just simple things i can't do sometimes, like washing myself, or, you know, brushing my teeth. i need help to do that. and i'm 27 years old. sometimes i feel like i'm living in a hundred—year—old body. but change could be on the way. hundreds of patients in england will now be offered a new drug called crizanlizumab over the next three years which could reduce the number of trips to hospital to treat severe pain. the moment that a new drug is approved to be used, ourjob is to make sure we can do a deal that makes that affordable and then get it out as quickly as possible. sickle cell disease is the world's most common genetic blood disorder. it mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. there's a one in four chance you will have the disease if both parents are carriers. the announcement of this treatment could be life—changing, reducing the number of times a sickle cell patient needs to go to a&e by a0%. but senior health campaigners say this should have happened a long time ago. people have said to our staff, "oh, this is a black person's disease. unlikely to affect me." but i think race has played a part in thinking, well, it's over there, it doesn't affect the majority population. more data is needed to find out about the drug's potential long—term benefits. medical experts will continue to collect information through clinical trials. renewed hope for sickle cell patients and their families. adina campbell, bbc news. throughout october, as part of our coverage of black history month, we'll be bringing you a series of interviews with those named on bbc radio ixtra's first ever future figures list. it's made up of 29 notable individuals, groups and organisations from across the uk who are making black history now. we'll be delving deeper and shining a light on a number of those being celebrated from a variety of sectors. we can speak to one of the names to feature on the inaugural list, andrew ogun, who was appointed as agent for change by the arts council of wales, with the aim of breaking down barriers

overview of how things work internally within the arts council, but also building those relationships with people in the sector and people in the communities in order to ensure that their voices are heard and that we build there, centre their input into our approaches and structures. so my role is really varied, and i'm having conversations, and trying to think how we can become a more inclusive

an organisational point of view to actually being able to change and being able to be flexible is to take risks and become more radical in your approach, risks and become more radical in yourapproach, because risks and become more radical in your approach, because i think that is what the times call for now, so that has been a barrier, and i think in terms of from an arts perspective, i also think access as well and information, communication, assuring that all of our opportunities are reaching the right people and we are inviting everyone into the room that needs to be heard and centring on

working towards, and how we make it happen. and this current level of social conscience and this insatiable appetite for change, how do we ensure that we are keeping up and having that momentum, and we have had no resistance in terms of how we make this happen within the parameters that we work with, and making it rigorous. we use public funds so we have to be held accountable, and we have to be rigorous without processes, so it is about finding that balance between rigour and being radical, about finding that balance between rigourand being radical, and being inclusive. and making sure that

that culture, because i really think the arts are an incredible vehicle for change and can be very inspirational, so again, how do we bring people who are on the margins into the centre, and how do we ensure there is a level playing field? how can i have the same opportunity to prosper as anyone else next to me and know that we have achieved equity. it is else next to me and know that we have

macro be set up. the truth of recovery design panel has also recommended redressing reparations for victims and survivors of the institutions, and has said there was clear evidence of gross and systemic human rights abuses in them. the panel has also called for public apologies to the women and children affected from the state and all institutions involved will stop the stormont executive had committed to an investigation and said that victims would be heard loudly and clearly. women in those institutions have said that they were detained against their will, forced into unpaid labourand against their will, forced into unpaid labour and made to give up babies for adoption. the secrets of these institutions are being shattered by the stories of those who were once shamed. more than 10,000 unmarried women were sent to mother and baby homes in northern ireland. they and their sons and daughters were the victims of a harsh morality. you have hundreds and thousands of children who haven't been claimed, who therefore have no voice. my brother didn't have a voice at the time, either. but i certainly will be his voice now. fionnuala was adopted from a home in belfast. she discovered her brother had died as a baby, and searched for his burial place. i wouldn't call it a grave. it was more of a pit. there's over 30 babies in, you know, the spot where he was buried. they were all just thrown in together like they didn't matter, in unconsecrated ground, in a hog at the bottom of a cemetery. she recently had a headstone put up to mark her siblings 50th birthday. finally he had his name emblazoned in marble. that's what he always should have had. ultimately it's the bravery of survivors who've broken the stigma by speaking out that has led to this inquiry. they want answers and accountability for what happened in these institutions, for the suffering of women and their children. the state violated women's rights to equality... un human rights experts have investigated the homes across the island of ireland. we have evidence and reports of systematic torture and ill—treatment of the girls and women who were involuntarily detained, stripped of their identities, forced to work constantly, not paid wages. unpaid labour was particularly exhausting in these institutions — magdalene laundries. there were four in northern ireland — over 3,000 women spent time in one. caroline was sent to a laundry in londonderry during her early teens. it was very frightening. very steamy, very warm. the constant machines, you could hear the machines always going, you know, at a very young age. and the women taught me how to use a presser. and i mean it was a presser as big as this table. so there were many women in there who had been there for many years. a long, long time. some of them women were in from their young years, and died in it. there's a lasting legacy of trauma. survivors hope the inquiry will expose wrongdoing and bring healing. the most important thing is the children that was took away. the women's identity that was took away. women was ashamed. shouldn't have been ashamed. we go straight to the tory party conference where priti patel is just starting her peach. conference where priti patel is 'ust starting her peachi starting her peach. where here to meet old friends _ starting her peach. where here to meet old friends and _ starting her peach. where here to meet old friends and come - starting her peach. where here to l meet old friends and come together as conservative families to affirm our values. these are tough times for our country, but despite the unprecedented challenges we have faced, this government has remained grounded and guided by our conservative values and the good sense of the british people. it has brought the very best of us out as a nation, from the carers to the volunteers, the scientists to the doctors and nurses, and to the brave men and women of our police and fire services who have risen to the challenges presented to us by covid with great professionalism and commitment. ourthanks with great professionalism and commitment. our thanks to them go out from this hall today. applause two years ago here in manchester, i said that the british people would always be my compass, and that i would deliver on their priorities. and i make that commitment to you today. the british people want a government on their side, keeping them safe. all our thoughts remain with sarah everard's family and friends. her murderer, whose name i will not repeat, was a monster. his explicit intention was to instil fear and terror into women and girls. i say this as home secretary, but also as a woman, that such unconscionable crimes and acts of violence against women and girls have no place in our society. applause and that is why they i have doubled my efforts to keep women and girls safe. in the last two years, these crimes have trebled. the police crimes have trebled. the police crime bill extends whole life sentences to child murderers and ends automatic halfway release of a serious sexual and violent offenders. nearly a year ago i launched the first ever so survey of women and girls and the disproportionate way these crimes affect them. in the wake of sarah's madr, i reopened that survey. 180,000 women and girls were brave enough to share some of their stories with me, some for the first time. their experiences in informing strategy which i launched earlier this year, and i have wasted no time in putting that plan into action. i want to thank my colleagues... i want to thank my colleagues and thank —— my colleague for her sterling work on this. our first ever dedicated national police officer for reducing crimes against women and girls will get to work providing national direction to the police. deputy chief because of matty blythe, accountable to you through me. this government will always back the brave men and women about police, and it is because of the strong relationship with the police but i can ask those difficult questions and also support them to do better. recent tragic events have exposed unimaginable failures in policing. it is abhorrent that a serving police officer was able to abuse his position of power, authority and trust to commit such a horrific crime. the public have a right to know what systematic failures enabled his continued employment as a police officer. we need answers as to why this was allowed to happen. ican i can confirm today that there will be an inquiry to give the independent oversight needed to ensure something like this can never happen again. applause later this year i will launch the first stand—alone domestic abuse strategy. i first stand-alone domestic abuse stratea . ., ., ~ ., strategy. i have undertaken a review ofthe strategy. i have undertaken a review of the police — strategy. i have undertaken a review of the police management _ strategy. i have undertaken a review of the police management of- of the police management of registered six offenders to stop paedophiles and rapists and members of grooming gangs from returning to the communities they tore apart. i am outlawing the sickening practice of virginity testing, a barbaric, medieval and invasive practice exclusively performed on women, often to control them, and often without their consent. not under this home secretary. women and girls have said enough is enough. and the conservative party agrees. the safety and security of our citizens is paramount. without safety and security there can be no freedom. ourapproach safety and security there can be no freedom. our approach to crime will always be based on seeking justice for victims and survivors, ensuring perpetrators feel the full force of the law. we have delivered more powers to the police so they can do exactly that, including stop and search. we are toughening sentences for the worst and most serious offenders including terrorists, rapists and child murderers. we are nearly half way through to recruiting 20,000 additional police officers, and this summer we launched our new plan to cut murder, serious violence, neighbourhood crime including anti—social behaviour. under my watch we have seen some of the biggest law enforcement, with our crackdown on county lines drug gangs resulting in over 1000 county lines shutdown, millions of pounds of cash seized. and over 6,000 criminals arrested. we are cutting the head off the snake and taking down those kingpins behind these deadly supply lines. thanks to my brilliant ministerial team. we are delivering for the british people. applause drug abuse and addiction ruins communities, devastate lives, tears families apart. drugs are also responsible for the crimes i am committed to cutting. today i am announcing the expansion of drug testing on a rest across all 43 police forces in england and wales. those who test positive as confirmed drug users will be supported to tackle their drug abuse and regain their independence. for those unwilling to address their drugs misuse there will be the harshest legal sanctions. while sir keir starmer backs decriminalising drugs we will take the top action to build back safer and continue to put the interests of our country first. applause 0ur our values and body service before self. , .., , our values

putting the needs of the hard—working silent majority first that i will not tolerate the so—called ego warriors trampling over our way of life and draining police resources. cheering and applause their actions over recent weeks have amounted to some of the most self—defeating environmental protests this country has ever seen. applause the freedom to protest is a fundamental right our party will forever fight fundamental right our party will foreverfight to uphold. fundamental right our party will forever fight to uphold. but fundamental right our party will forever fight to uphold.- fundamental right our party will forever fight to uphold. but it must be within the _ forever fight to uphold. but it must be within the law. _ be within the law. measures already going through parliament will ensure these criminals can be brought tojustice for the disruption they are causing. we are going to go further to close down the legal loopholes exploited by these offenders. today i can announce that we will also increase announce that we will also increase a maximum penalty for disrupting a motorway, criminalise interference with key infrastructures such as roads, railways, and free press, and give the police and courts new powers to deliver so they can deal with the small minority of offenders intent on travelling around the country causing disruption and misery to our communities. this conservative government is taking the tough decisions needed to cut crime and make our streets safe. applause that is not all. we have finally ended free movement. applause delivered our new points—based immigration system welcoming people to our country based on the skills they have to offer and not on the colour of their passports. 0ur colour of their passports. our new rules are attracting the best and brightest talent from around the world welcoming brilliant scientists, the finest academics, and leading people in theirfield, driving our economy forward as we build back better act from the pandemic. at long last, the british immigration system is under the control of the british government. applause despite what we have already delivered we must be honest with ourselves about the long—standing problem is we still face. we owe it to our country to continue confronting the difficult issues no matter how controversial or complex they may be. taking action on difficult decisions that has stumped politicians for too long. all states have a responsibility to control their borders. where there is a dog there must be a doorkeeper. what is happening in the channel with small boats is unsafe, unfair and not acceptable. applause from the vast camps outside calais mainly of male economic migrants coming to the shocking images of people crammed into flimsy boats crossing the channel, exploited by people smugglers, violent criminals characterised by ruthlessness and greed who even threatened to drown small children just to line their pockets. small children 'ust to line their ockets. , ., pockets. this cannot continue. which is why — pockets. this cannot continue. which is why we _ pockets. this cannot continue. which is why we are _ pockets. this cannot continue. which is why we are going - pockets. this cannot continue. | which is why we are going after pockets. this cannot continue. - which is why we are going after the criminals behind this perilous trade in people smuggling. and then, of course, there is the legal process. if an asylum claim is rejected there is nearly always an automatic right to appeal. no surprise that everybody appeals, evenif surprise that everybody appeals, even if the decision is to refuse asylum which is upheld, there can be yet another appeal, asylum which is upheld, there can be yetanotherappeal, right asylum which is upheld, there can be yet another appeal, right up until the possibility of further appeals at the supreme court and court of appeal. and if that fails, the claimants and their lawyers can start a fresh claim. and then, even when seated on a plane, their lawyers can still block their removal. now, britain's asylum system might have worked 20 years ago, but not now. the system is collapsing under the pressure is created by these parallel illegal routes to asylum facilitated by smuggling gangs. labour would have you believe the capacity of our asylum system is completely unlimited, but the very presence of economic migrants through these illegal routes is undermining our ability to support those in genuine need of protection. applause to that i say no. 0ur to that i say no. our system must uphold our reputation as a country where criminality is not rewarded, but where playing by the rules is. applause my my new plan for immigration is making its way through parliament and at the heart of this plan is a simple principle, control. that is not unreasonable. _ simple principle, control. that is not unreasonable. through - simple principle, control. that is not unreasonable. through our l simple principle, control. that is. not unreasonable. through our new plan for immigration, britain will be fair but firm. we will continue to be outward facing and providing sanctuary to those in need through safe and legal resettlement routes. from uganda to syria, hong kong to afghanistan, under conservative leadership the united kingdom will always hold up the hand of friendship to those most in need, which is why i established a new resettlement route for afghans resettlement route for afg ha ns fleeing resettlement route for afghans fleeing persecution, prioritising women and girls. we will always support the brave men and women of our armed forces who served in afghanistan and continue to keep us safe around the world. applause we are smashing the economic model of the people smugglers so that they can no longer profit from human misery. can no longer profit from human mise . . ., , ., , misery. the current maximum penalty for

for entering the country illegally is six months. we are increasing that to four years. under current maximum sentence for people smugglers right now, that is 14 years. we are changing back to life. applause —— changing that to life. standing by the world's most vulnerable, we will prioritise those who play by our rules. for the first time how somebody arrives in the uk will impact on how their asylum claim is processed. 0ur will impact on how their asylum claim is processed. our new one—stop shop will tackle the multiple claims and appeals which frequently frustrate removal, and our new laws will speed up the removal of those with no legal right to be in our country. applause i know from the briefings i have received from our intelligence and security agencies that there are people who attempt to come into our country to do us harm.— country to do us harm. plotting to strike at our— country to do us harm. plotting to strike at our very _ country to do us harm. plotting to strike

continue to pursuejoint with all of this, we will continue to pursue joint solutions to joint problems. france is a safe country, not one driven by war or conflict. there is no reason why any asylum seeker should come to the united kingdom directly from france. cheering and applause and i make no apology for securing our borders and exploring all possible options to save lives by ending these horrificjourneys. which is why right from the start boris and i have worked intensively with every institution with the responsibility to protect our borders, border force, the police, national crime agency, maritime experts, and yes, the military, to deliver operational solutions including new tactics which we are working to implement to turn back the boats. applause whilst this represents progress, this single measure alone cannot solve this problem. we must stay the course and see this whole new plan for immigration through. it will take time. but i can tell you now i will continue to take the difficult action needed to address this long—standing issue. so what do our opponents say? of course they attack them because they want open borders. they don't care about the intolerable pressures on public services or local authorities. they do not care about the damage to our labour market and driving down the wages of the hard—working majority. they do not care about the british people who will have to foot this bill. and what is worse is that they do not care about ensuring that the victims of crimes committed by foreign national offenders can rebuild their lives safe in the knowledge their attackers are no longer here. labour mps, some of whom even sit with the leader of the opposition at his shadow cabinet table, shamefully campaign to halt the removal of murderers, rapists and child abusers. criminals who quual —— have caused devastation on our soil, including two women and girls, while they busied themselves writing letters defending these convicts, this home secretary will always put the rights of victims first. applause and with that we have removed nearly 8500 foreign national offenders from our country. applause conference, i will never flinch from taking the difficult decisions needed to keep our country safe and secure. where criminals attempt to incite fear, harm and terror in our communities, i will always act. where the lights are being switched off on other people's liberties i will act. where are our borders and laws need strengthening, i will act. our party owes it to our country to continue to confront these difficult decisions and issues, no matter how controversial or complex. there will of course be new challenges and new tests and we will meet them, strengthened by our belief in our country. that is my promise to you, and that is my service to the people of britain. thank you. applause priti patel with her speech to the conservative party conference in manchester. chris mason was listening to it along with us. your thoughts? along with us. your thou~hts? .,, along with us. your thou~hts? , ~ your thoughts? the most striking line from the _ your thoughts? the most striking line from the speech _ your thoughts? the most striking line from the speech which - your thoughts? the most striking line from the speech which lasted just under half—an—hour was her announcement there will be an inquiry into the police failings around the murder of sarah reverend. we had run priti patel saying, i can confirm there will be an inquiry to give independent oversight needed to ensure something like this can never happen again. the specific detail around that inquiry we await, there were no doubt be questions asked of her team in the coming minutes to find out more about what it is, the scope and nature of that inquiry, the timeframe over which it will be done and when we might get some sense of completion. it has been a call from plenty in the last week for that to happen. priti patel announcing that inquiry. that follows the conviction of the murder and rapist of sarah everard. and talking about the scale of the consultation exercise by the government on crimes against girls and women, 180,000 contributions from people reflecting on their own expenses, sometimes in personal detail —— own experiences. nearly 200,000 responses. news as well, confirmation from the home secretary of a first ever national police officer looking at reducing and preventing crimes against women, announced last month but we now know maggie blythe of hampshire police will begin work on that role as soon as later this month across england and wales. people calling for some national coordination around an area of crime plenty of people have been talking about doesn't get adequate police attention. there is the issue around all of this of if there is an attempt to increase prosecutions, increase attention on these themes, how does that match up with the backlog that exists in courts. we had the premise thinking it did not think it was right misogyny became a hate crime and existing legislation was in his view adequate if it was properly prosecuted. a couple of other things that start out, on the protests, very strong language from priti patel describing these protests on the m25 and elsewhere as some of the most self—defeating environment will protest the country has seen. she talked about boosting police capacity to deal with them. that might run into an issue of court capacity and the justice system to deal with any people prosecuted. and towards the end, on the issue of cross—channel migrants crossing, her emphasis saying the vast majority of those making those illegal crossings are male economic migrants. and the focus should be on those applying via legal route from refugee camps. and the long sagging —— and the long—standing argument that france is a safe country and migrants should stay there. and the big news, the inquiry into the murder of sarah everard. more detail on that inquiry, it will be made up of examining wayne cosyns sets previous behaviour and establish a definitive account of his conduct leading up to his conviction as well as any opportunities missed, drawing on the independence investigations. the second part will look at any specific issues raised by the first part of the inquiry which could include wider issues across policing, including betting practices, professional standards and discipline and workplace behaviour. additionally the home secretary is writing to the dependent police inspectorate to commission and a of vetting and other positions —— procedures including detecting and dealing with misogynistic and predatory behaviour. she has asked for the official findings are backed behaviour. she has asked for the officialfindings are backed by behaviour. she has asked for the official findings are backed by the end of this year and they will be used to inform the inquiry into wayne cousins. a note on how the inquiry will be carried out. the release we have had from the home office says given the need to provide assurance as swiftly as possible this will be established as possible this will be established as a non—statutory inquiry but it can be converted to a statutory inquiry if required. a non—statutory inquiry if required. a non—statutory inquiry has no powers to force witnesses to appear or give evidence under oath. but that may change as they say. the chair and terms of reference will be confirmed in due course. there has been pressure for there to be an inquiry. the home secretary has announced there is going to be won. no doubt we will get more reaction to that and whether what has been outlined in how that inquiry will be carried out will satisfy what has been asked for. meanwhile the prime minister says he doesn't support making misogyny a hate crime. there are growing calls to tackle violence against women in the way of the murder of sarah everard, with campaigners calling for misogyny to be made a hate crime. the anger over sarah everard's murder is a symptom of that wider frustration for people. so what you need to do, you want to talk about misogyny and the attitudes of the police... do think they should do what they are doing in nottingham. they are logging catcalling and wolf whistling as a misogynistic hate crime. do you think that is right? i want to get back to my key point. i think that rather than expanding the range of crimes that we want to prosecute for, we need to prosecute the existing crimes. the prime minister was also asked about hgv driver shortages. borisjohnson has said 127 foreign lorry drivers have applied to work in the uk on a temporary visa, out of 5,000 available places. the scheme was announced last week to try to address a shortage of drivers which has disrupted deliveries. the prime minister said the uk couldn't go back to a "failed model" of low wages and high immigration, and he was confident supply chains would be ok in the run—up to christmas. it's a fascinating illustration of the problem of the shortage. so what, what we said to the road haulage industry was, fine, give us the names of the drivers that you want to bring in and we'll sort out the visas, and we have got another 5000 visas. and they only produced 127 names, so far. what that shows is the global shortage. there is a particular problem in the uk. road haulage should be a greatjob. if you invested in the truck stops, in the cabs, in pay and conditions, it should be something people in this country want to do. people have done it and enjoyed it for many, many years. the promise to place the blame for the lack of applicants on the role is industry saying they had only produced 170 name —— only 127 names so far. earlier i spoke to steve granite from abbey logistics group who told me the shortages issues in recruiting staff will go beyond christmas it was never attractive in the first place and was never going to work. it is definitely going to go beyond christmas. even if we had 100,000 drivers knock on the door and say i want to become a hgv driver, it would take government over 12 months just to get them through the tests, at best. they need to increase testing capacity extremely quickly and use the ministry of defence and private sector, and look at putting hgv drivers on the skilled workers' list. another area where labour shortages are causing major issues is in the agricultural sector with some farmers having to pay labourers up to £30 an hour to pick vegetables. jack ward is from the british growers' association, he told us the situation is unsustainable. we are going to see an erosion of our ability to feed ourselves. i fail to understand why the government has made life so difficult. in the fresh produce industry we are desperate to introduce automation robotics and reduce reliance on seasonal labour. everywhere around the world is trying to do this because everybody is struggling with labour inputs. it cannot be done overnight. this takes time, huge amounts of investment. we are saying, wejust time, huge amounts of investment. we are saying, we just need some time to adapt because some of the problems we are incurring now were not foreseeable. when we set out at the start of 2021, i think we were hopeful that those people who were on settled and pre—settled status would remain in the uk. that hasn't happened. the seasonal worker permit scheme which was a great addition was very slow to get off the ground. you have this combination of things that have not worked as everybody expected and intended. what we are saying is, let usjust expected and intended. what we are saying is, let us just find a temporary solution to get us out of these problems, and make sure we don't erode what is a fantastic industry, and provide consumers up and down the country with high quality, very competitively priced food. in the past hour an expert panel has recommended a public inquiry into institutions for unmarried mothers institutions for unmarried mothers in northern ireland. survivors said they suffered abuse at the magdalene laundry is run by religious orders. the secrets of these institutions are being shattered by the stories of those who were once shamed. more than 10,000 unmarried women were sent to mother and baby homes in northern ireland. they and their sons and daughters were the victims of a harsh morality. you have hundreds and thousands of children who haven't been claimed, who therefore have no voice. my brother didn't have a voice at the time, either. but i certainly will be his voice now. fionnuala was adopted from a home in belfast. she discovered her brother had died as a baby, and searched for his burial place. i wouldn't call it a grave. it was more of a pit. there's over 30 babies in, you know, the spot where he was buried. they were all just thrown in together like they didn't matter, in unconsecrated ground, in a hog at the bottom of a cemetery. she recently had a headstone put up to mark her siblings 50th birthday. finally he had his name emblazoned in marble. that's what he always should have had. ultimately it's the bravery of survivors who've broken the stigma by speaking out that has led to this inquiry. they want answers and accountability for what happened in these institutions, for the suffering of women and their children. the state violated women's rights to equality... un human rights experts have investigated the homes across the island of ireland. we have evidence and reports of systematic torture and ill—treatment of the girls and women who were involuntarily detained, stripped of their identities, forced to work constantly, not paid wages. unpaid labour was particularly exhausting in these institutions — magdalene laundries. there were four in northern ireland — over 3,000 women spent time in one. caroline was sent to a laundry in londonderry during her

and died in it. there's a lasting legacy of trauma. survivors hope the inquiry will expose wrongdoing and bring healing. the most important thing is the children that was took away. the women's identity that was took away. women was ashamed. shouldn't have been ashamed. some breaking news to bring you. we are hearing that there is a fire at westminster tube station. we have no detail of where it is or how serious it is, but six fire engines and 40 firefighters have been called to westminster tube station, and trains are not stopping there. we will keep you updated as soon as we get any more news. the station has been evacuated, and there are police and fire engines around the station and portcullis house which is right by it, so it is something we will keep our eye on and keep you updated as soon as we get any more news on that. now let's catch up with the weather with carol. hello again. we've had some torrential rain this morning leading to some flash flooding. we are not done with some torrential rain yet. our centre of low pressure is here and we have got a weather front wrapped around it, producing all this rain, especially across northern england where we could see some large rainfall totals, extending to eastern scotland, and at times we will see rain getting into the midlands and also east anglia and the south—east. out towards the west, something drier and brighter with fewer showers. brisk winds around that rain, and that will continue tonight as it continues to edge in the direction of the north sea. following on behind it, there will be some clearer skies, temperatures falling away in sheltered glens close to freezing, and holding up for the rest of us. and then into tomorrow we start off with the brisk winds, the cloud and the early rain moving away into the north sea. things dry up, the sun will come out but it won't last because our next area of low pressure is coming our way, introducing rain across northern ireland, western scotland, into parts of wales and the south—west. this is bbc news with joanna gosling. the headlines... home secretary priti patel announces an inquiry into police failings leading to the murder of sarah everard. the public have a right to know what systematic failures enabled his continued employment as a police officer. we need answers as to why this was allowed to happen. priti patel also announces new powers to stop activists going to demonstrations — following weeks of disruption by climate protesters. the prime minister confirms only a small number of people have applied for the new visas to drive hgvs in the uk after the government relaxed visa rules for up to 5000 drivers. they only produced 127 names so far, and what that shows is the global shortage. an investigation finds more than 200,000 children over the past seven decades have been victims of abuse by catholic priests in france. an internal technical issue is blamed after a global blackout lasting six hours hit facebook,

next three years. more than 200,000 children have been victims of priests and paedophile clergy in france over the past seven decades. the head of a commission into abuse within the church said the perpetrators were protected by what he called a veil of silence. victims were often treated with a cruel indifference, he said. hugh schofield says the figures are monumental. be schofield says the

people extremely hard here in france, notjust people in congregations, but the whole country it is nothing new, abuse in the catholic church, we know the church has been speaking of rooting it out and confronting its dark reality, past and present, but this is a very cruel, unsparing analysis of what has gone wrong, and interestingly up on the podium at the press conference at which it was unveiled was the leader of one of the main victims' groups, and he was both grateful to the report's authors but also incredibly critical to the church leaders who were in his audience, saying basically, shame on you, and you must pay for your crimes, he uttered those words slowly, you must pay now for your crimes. it was a tense moment of reckoning, and the detail of this report drawn up by these figures who are universally respected i think gives it such authority that the church will be able to do nothing but react in a fairly radical way to what is revealed.— what is revealed. hugh schofield re

on the nhs in england. the condition is incurable, and mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. the drug involved has been described as revolutionary, and could cut visits to a&e by 40%. here's more from our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell. daily medication and monthly visits to hospital have been a normal part of sarah—jane's life ever since she was a baby. i've always been quite a smiley child. she's one of 15,000 people living with sickle cell disease in the uk. i've spent a lot of my life in hospital. just simple things i can't do sometimes, like washing myself, or, you know, brushing my teeth. i need help to do that. and i'm 27 years old. sometimes i feel like i'm living in a hundred—year—old body. but change could be on the way. hundreds of patients in england will now be offered a new drug called crizanlizumab over the next three years which could reduce the number of trips to hospital to treat severe pain. the moment that a new drug is approved to be used, ourjob is to make sure we can do a deal that makes that affordable and then get it out as quickly as possible. sickle cell disease is the world's most common genetic blood disorder. it mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. there's a one in four chance you will have the disease if both parents are carriers. the announcement of this treatment could be life—changing, reducing the number of times a sickle cell patient needs to go to a&e by 40%. but senior health campaigners say this should have happened a long time ago. people have said to our staff, "oh, this is a black person's disease. unlikely to affect me." but i think race has played a part in thinking, well, it's over there, it doesn't affect the majority population. more data is needed to find out about the drug's potential long—term benefits. medical experts will continue to collect information through clinical trials. renewed hope for sickle cell patients and their families. adina campbell, bbc news. the chief executive of facebook has apologised after its services including whatsapp and instagram went down for six hours yesterday. our technology reporterjames clayton reports. the number of people that use facebook and its spin—offs whatsapp and instagram is nothing short of staggering — 3.5 billion people across the world, including tens of thousands of businesses. still, when something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. in a statement released early on tuesday morning, facebook said... the outage was said to have caused mayhem in facebook�*s headquarters here in silicon valley, as technicians scrambled to work out what was going on. facebook was losing over £100,000 a minute and its share price fell. mark zuckerberg personally lost around £4 billion. most of these kinds of outages last for around an hour. what made this so unusual was how long it took to fix. and the scale of it, too — the outage wasn't localised, it was global, affecting users across the world. you might see... this couldn't have happened at a worse time for facebook. today a whistle—blower who used to work for facebook, frances haugen, will tell us politicians that facebook�*s own research found that instagram was dangerous to teenagers' mental health. a bad week for the social network is getting worse by the day. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. let's go back to the home secretary's speech to the conservative party conference. she announced an enquiry macro into the murder of sarah everard, and also a crackdown on protests. the freedom to rotest crackdown on protests. the freedom to protest is — crackdown on protests. the freedom to protest is a _ crackdown on protests. the freedom to protest is a right _ crackdown on protests. the freedom to protest is a right we _ crackdown on protests. the freedom to protest is a right we will - to protest is a right we will uphold, but it must be within the law. measures already going through parliament will ensure that these criminals can be brought tojustice for the disruption they are causing, but we are going to go further to close down the legal loopholes exploited by these offenders, so today i can announce that we will also increase the maximum penalties for disrupting a motorway, criminalised interference with key infrastructure such as roads and railways and our free press, infrastructure such as roads and railways and ourfree press, and give the police and the courts new power to deliver so that they can deal with a small minority of offenders intent on travelling around the country causing disruption and misery to our communities. meanwhile this morning court has heard that 111 protesters associated with insulates britain have been banned from motorways. dominic, new measures to clamp down on these protests. what has been happening there at court? this protests. what has been happening there at court?— there at court? this

it up court i think the best way to sum it up is don't hold your breath for any action any time soon, because the wheels of civiljustice move quite slowly in these matters. what we have got is three injunctions out against insulates britain and its core supporters. we know that 111 individuals have been served with papers, which means that lawyers have said if you carry on occupying motorways, we will have you back in court. we had expected the first hearing to be timetabled. it hasn't happened because the seniorjudge overseeing this complex legal procedure which is going on her said that ideally everything needs to be brought together into one hearing which will start next tuesday. we think that is the point then when the protesters will then potentially be summonsed to court for their continued injunction, breaking occupations on the road. today, britain was in court, they were outside and they were saying that they are going to carry on occupying they are going to carry on occupying the motorways and major roadways into london and possibly elsewhere, until the hear a meaningful statement from the government on climate change, because they say thatis climate change, because they say that is the real criminality here rather than what they are doing. thank you, dominic. back to the conservative party conference in manchester. chris mason is there. chris, over to you. good afternoon, joanna. the speech from the home secretary, priti patel, in the last hour, announcing an enquiry into what is happening around sarah everard's murder, and what can be learned as far as the police are concerned. then the prime minister giving a round of interviews this morning, further interviews this morning, further interviews to political editors and we will bring you the highlights of the prime minister talking to laura kuenssberg on the bbc news that one. but the other thing we have been trying to do all week still talk to individual cabinet ministers about their briefs and what they been saying to activists here and something of a weather check and what they are up to. george eustice, environment secretary, is with us. let's talk about the whole issue around supply chains in the particular problems around the slaughter of pigs, plenty in the industry say there are not enough butchers so we might have to incinerate animals rather than send them for processing for sale for meat. what have you been saying to those who have been protesting here and saying, things need to change it you need to step in to make it easierfor more you need to step in to

going through at the moment, the prime minister arguing that this is a necessary transition to a higher wage economy, but there is no doubt there are bumps along that road, much of which have dominated the conversation here. thank you, chris. when the winter olympics begin, british speed skater elise christie will be hoping to secure an elusive medal. butjust being in beijing would be a significant achievement. after heartache in the last two games, elise has suffered with her mental health, she considered taking her own life, and has also recently revealed that she was raped as a teenager. she's been speaking to jayne mccubbin. elise christie. and christie goes down before they reach the very first corner. three—time world champion. so it's heartbreak for elise christie yet again. ten—time european champion. oh, they've gone down! but say the name and you think of the falls. christie crashes out, christie is out of it once again. do you replay, is it on a loop? i do at points, especially as you get closer to competition. christie has crashed again! iwill be, like, replaying it in my head, and the frustration is, if i watch it, i get so angry. twice, elise left for the winter olympics full of hope. twice she came back empty—handed. i just can't see living with this feeling, you know? christie, oh, they've gone down! everyone who's in this sport or sport in general doesn't necessarily remember me for the fall. they think i'm unlucky, yeah. but i get remembered as the first european to ever win the world championships. let's say that one more time. first european to win the world championships. shall we do itjust a third? it is good to hear it! it is in my head, because sometimes, you know, day—to—day, i'll think about the failures rather than... but that's the trick, the trick is to keep your eyes on those highs. yeah, that's very true, that's very true. and i think, yeah, you're right, i did forget them. and perhaps it is easy to forget the highs when you've been through so many lows. today, as elise trains for her fourth winter olympics, she's opening up about trauma she's never discussed on air before. a sexual assault when she was just 19 after her drink was spiked. ijust lost control of my body. i remember trying to run away, and i couldn't run because my legs just kept collapsing and i was on the floor. continually saying, like, "no," trying to push but obviously my body wasn't working. it was weird because at the time, obviously, like, the way i viewed sexual assault is like someone getting battered and beaten and left in a bush. so i kind of came out of it thinking, "what did i do wrong, was it my fault?" i didn't think people would believe me, i didn't even know if it was a sexual assault, i just was so confused about the whole thing because i was like, what could i have done differently? why couldn't i get him off me? trauma in her personal life was met by trauma in her professional life. anxiety led to depression and self—harm — all of which nearly cost elise her life. ijust remember being, like, i can't feel like this any more. i can't cope with feeling like this any more, i can't go another second. and it was kind of like, it didn't feel like me and that's, i think, the numbness that comes with it, it felt like i was watching someone else doing it. in that moment, in that exact moment, of, woof, you snapped back into your own body, "i do not want to die"? it was like that, yeah. "i do not want to die." what were the things that you thought, "i've got all of this to live for"? i think there is obviously my mum and my dad and my stepdad and family. i wasjust, like, i can't do that to them, i can't leave them. and then there was obviously skating and the actual love for skating. all of this is detailed in her new biography. its title, resilience. she's working hard here in nottingham, because in three weeks' time, she flies to beijing with the hope of qualifying for next year's winter olympics. on her wrist, a symbol which keeps her going. that is the symbol for a suicide prevention charity, an organisation, it's supposed to symbolise, you know if you're writing a sentence, you put a semicolon, it means, like, you're carrying on. you know, it reminds me not to go there, i suppose. this could be herfinal chance this could be her final chance for an olympic medal. it is this could be her final chance for an olympic medal.— this could be her final chance for an olympic medal. it is to remember that i'm facing _ an olympic medal. it is to remember that i'm facing the _ an olympic medal. it is to remember that i'm facing the thing _ an olympic medal. it is to remember that i'm facing the thing that - an olympic medal. it is to remember that i'm facing the thing that broke l that i'm facing the thing that broke me, i believe i can get a medal but i also want to come out of the games knowing that it wasn't something else that stopped me, ijust knowing that it wasn't something else that stopped me, i just wasn't fast enough. because that is ok. but if i am fast enough, then it is a medal! ijust want if i am fast enough, then it is a medal! i just want to finish it. you medal! i 'ust want to finish it. you are medal! i just want to finish it. you are auoin medal! i just want to finish it. you are going to _ medal! i just want to finish it. you are going to be — medal! ijust want to finish it. you are going to be great. medal! i just want to finish it. you are going to be great. thank - medal! i just want to finish it. you are going to be great. thank you. | are going to be great. thank you. and getting _ are going to be great. thank you. and getting better— are going to be great. thank you. and getting better every - are going to be great. thank you. and getting better every day. - and getting better every day. everybody is rooting for you. thank ou, i everybody is rooting for you. thank you. i hope — everybody is rooting for you. thank you. i hope so- _ everybody is rooting for you. thank you, i hope so. good _ everybody is rooting for you. thank you, i hope so. good luck. - if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in that interview you can find help and information on the bbc action line. it's been announced that the star trek star, william shatner, will go where no man as old as him has gone before. the 90—year—old actor, famous for playing captain kirk aboard the starship enterprise, is heading into space as part of the crew of the next blue origin flight. mr shatner will be joining three other people on—board the rocket, which is due to blast off next tuesday. tim allman has the story. i know what you're thinking. hasn't he already been? # star trekking across the universe. # on the starship enterprise under captain kirk. _ well, no. james t kirk may have explored strange new worlds for more than 50 years, but the man who plays him has remained firmly on the earth, until now. william shatner will, if everything goes to plan, soon be boldly going where no nonagenarian canadian actor has ever gone before. in a statement he said, "i've heard about space for a long time now. "i'm taking the opportunity to see it for myself. "what a miracle." and this will be his uss enterprise. blue origin's new shepherd rocket, which had its first successful flight with a crew in july this year. at 90 years old, william shatner will become the oldest person ever to fly into space, which must raise at least some concerns. being 90, just kind of getting out of bed in the morning is a bit of a risk i suppose. anybody getting on a spacecraft that is being launched off earth via a rocket, that's a dangerous thing to do. we aren't in the age of star trek where this stuff is routine. his will be a ten minute voyage rather than a five year mission. it's not quite the final frontier, but it's pretty close. some breaking news to bring you from james landale, the diplomatic correspondent. he says uk diplomats have visited afghanistan for talks with the taliban leaders for the first time since the fall of kabul in august. they have been talking about how the uk can help to address the humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. they also raise the treatment of minorities and the rights of women and girls, and the need for continued safe passage for those who want to leave the country, so we will have more on that a little bit later. ben brown is coming up with the bbc news at one, but right now the weather with susan powell. hello. tuesday started with torrential rain, but tomorrow is a very different —looking day, particularly for the east of the uk as this low finally shifts into the north sea. but to get us on into the evening, still wet weather for eastern scotland, pushing back down into east anglia, gusty winds as well. underthe into east anglia, gusty winds as well. under the cloud with the wind and rain, a mild enough night across the eastern side of the uk. towards the eastern side of the uk. towards the west, lighter winds, the eastern side of the uk. towards the west, lighterwinds, down the eastern side of the uk. towards the west, lighter winds, down to two degrees in glasgow. sky clearing as we get a little ridge of high pressure just we get a little ridge of high pressurejust toppling we get a little ridge of high pressure just toppling in from the atlantic. and that will make for a drier day, certainly across the eastern side of scotland and for northern eglin on wednesday, quite a cool northerly breeze along the north sea coast, and towards the west after today's sunshine, for northern ireland more cloud around and some rain for the afternoon. a warmer day than today, temperatures in the mid teens. in terms of warmth, the end of the week is what we really need to talk about, because temperatures are going to push up well above average values. we would normally expect averages of around 11—14 across the uk in october, but thanks to this area of low pressure, which will keep wet weather towards the north—west of the uk through the end of the week, we will pull air the uk through the end of the week, we will pullair up the uk through the end of the week, we will pull air up about the way from the tropics ahead of those weather fronts, from the tropics ahead of those weatherfronts, and even where from the tropics ahead of those weather fronts, and even
