that his government has the guts to deal with issues in the economy and society that he says have been dodged by previous administrations. against a backdrop of labour shortages and warnings of empty supermarket shelves at christmas, the prime minister will pledge to move the uk towards high—wage, high—skill employment. our political correspondent, nick eardley, reports. this is fantastic. borisjohnson looks like he's enjoying himself. the conservatives worship him as an election winner. he promises them he's going to rewire the economy. but today the prime minister is also speaking to the country. and it's against a backdrop that makes some nervous — rising prices, a reduction in universal credit, problems with deliveries which could last for weeks. today mrjohnson will argue the economy needs to change — and that previous governments didn't have the guts to do it. he'll accuse his predecessors — which, remember, includes conservatives — of drift and dither. as he told breakfast yesterday, he wants to move away from immigration, towards higher wages and better conditions. borisjohnson will also talk about his big idea — levelling up — telling delegates it can take pressure off what he'll call "the overheating southeast of england", and offer opportunity to areas where people are left behind. it's a pitch of a better economy to come, but with very real pressures for many now — and more expected over the winter months — come will be looking for immediate action, too. earlier we heard from thejustice secretary, dominic raab, who emphasised the importance of a move to a high skilled, high wage employment. we bounce back and build back stronger from this terrible pandemic, we've got the number ofjobs rising, economic growth coming back at a fair lick. wages are also rising, if you look at the latest data. but we've got to make sure that we have an economy which is high skill, high wage, so that people can afford to deal with the cost of living, and not overly reliant on the easy addiction to cheap, unskilled labour from abroad. the conservative peer lord wolfson — who's chief executive of the next fashion chain — and a brexit supporter says there's real panic and despondency in the restaurant, hotel and care industries about labour shortages — and in an interview today he hit back against borisjohnson�*s claim yesterday that business needs a shock to get it off its reliance on foreign labour. i think that approach leads to queues at petrol stations and pigs being unnecessarily shot. so i don't think that is a particularly constructive approach. i think a much more constructive approach is to say, well, if we think the problem is that businesses are bringing in people because they are cheap, then let's make them more expensive. so that business can bring in the labour that it desperately needs, but there will always be a huge incentive to employ people in the uk if those people are available. and so, rather than try and solve this problem with people throwing brickbats at each other, we sit down together, work through and design a system that delivers the best of both worlds, that delivers the skills we desperately need in the uk to keep the economy moving. but at the same time, make sure that uk workers are not being undercut or deprived of opportunities that they might otherwise want. let's get more on this from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. those comments, i'm sure, not entirely welcomed by the prime minister and his team?- entirely welcomed by the prime minister and his team? good morning, ben. there minister and his team? good morning, ben- there are — minister and his team? good morning, ben. there are three _ minister and his team? good morning, ben. there are three points _ minister and his team? good morning, ben. there are three points of - ben. there are three points of tension that have emerged over the last few days in manchester. you've still got conservative mps, a handful of them, that are really concerned about the £20 a week increase to universal credit being taken away. they are still pinning their hopes on the house of lords may be overturning that in the next couple of weeks. then you've got attention with business, as we were hearing, from lord wolfson. they are not too pleased to be blamed for not spotting the problems that could arise from the supply chain, as we get back to normal after the pandemic and adjust to post—brexit reality. and then you got some members of borisjohnson�*s cabinet that think he is being a bit too blase and a bit too optimistic about the stresses and strains that the economy is experiencing, and maybe not quite acknowledging the stress and the worries that people have as they live through that. but boris johnson is going to brush all of that aside in the next few hours and do a very, very optimistic, tub thumping speech, where he will say he is the only person that has the guts to make the tough decisions and the changes to the country that the country needs. it's an interesting word, guts. some people will hear that and be inspired, other people will hear it and think, hang on, you will hear it and think, hang on, you will need guts if you are about to embark on something that is a bit scary or risky. he will also, the prime minister, criticised governments of the last few decades for dithering and delaying over making decisions and reforms that the country needs, conveniently ignoring the fact that for the majority of those decades it was his party, the conservatives, that were in charge. in terms of the contents of this speech that we will get in a few hours' time, do not expect a lot of detail or a lot of policies. i think it is basically going to be a sort of longer, spoken version of those slogans you see on the back of the wall, there. build back better and getting on with the job. the wall, there. build back better and getting on with thejob. we the wall, there. build back better and getting on with the job. and getting on with the 'ob. we were heafina and getting on with the 'ob. we were hearing from — and getting on with the 'ob. we were hearing from dominic _ and getting on with the job. we were hearing from dominic raab, - and getting on with the job. we were hearing from dominic raab, the - hearing from dominic raab, the justice secretary, being asked about the fallout from the sarah everard murder. he was talking about misogyny, quite interesting comments, he said misogyny is absolute the wrong, whether it is a man against a woman or a woman against a man. man against a woman or a woman againsta man. 50. man against a woman or a woman against a man-— against a man. so, if you are lookin: against a man. so, if you are looking at— against a man. so, if you are looking at the _ against a man. so, if you are looking at the technical- against a man. so, if you are - looking at the technical dictionary of national misogyny, he was kind of getting it wrong, because actually misogyny is men targeting women. misandry is women targeting men. i think rather than having a countdown dictionary corner moment, what the justice secretary was trying to conveyis justice secretary was trying to convey is that there are already enough existing crimes on the statute book to deal with violence and harassment in any direction, from any gender to any other agenda, rather than... from any gender to any other agenda, ratherthan... i from any gender to any other agenda, rather than... i think he was just not quite communicating the point as well as he might have wanted to. i don't think he was trying to redefine the nature of misogyny. bill redefine the nature of misogyny. all right, adam, thanks for clearing that up. the £20—per—week uplift to universal credit, brought in to support those on low incomes during the pandemic, is being withdrawn from today. the payment is claimed by almost six million people in the uk. borisjohnson has defended the cut, arguing that creating high wage, high skilled jobs was better than putting more money into benefits. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. opposition parties and charities have been warning that hundreds of thousands would be plunged into poverty. nicola flower used to work three jobs — as a seamstress, cleaner and shop assistant — until she was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. side effects of different treatments have weakened her body. the cut to universal credit is consuming her mind. i might have to wear more clothes, not have the heating on so much. i'm really worried about the joint situation because when it's colder you can feel it. i've noticed it the past couple of days, the difference. i'm going to need the heating on to keep myjoints warm. cornwall have some of the poorest—insulated homes in england, so the recent rise in energy prices will hit hard. a largely low—wage seasonaljobs market adds to the difficulties tens of thousands of people will face coping with the £20—a—week cut. unfortunately i lost myjob because i was cycling and hit by a car, fractured my leg. so i was on crutches. harriet duffy worked for a charity as a fundraiser. now harriet and her former bald son noah, are living in temporary accommodation — life completely up—ended. ——now harriet and her four—month old son noah, are living in temporary accommodation — life completely up—ended. i have no access to laundry facilities and things like this so at the moment i am using launderettes and living basically off microwave meals and things like that. so obviously that comes at an expense. and losing that extra sort of bit of income will be devastating. completely aware that this hasn't always been part of universal credit and it was only supposed to be temporary during covid but a lot of people have become reliant on it during this time. it's notjust the people on universal credit who are going to feel the impact of the cuts. the money they get, they typically spend in their own local economy — in shops, in cafes, on their own high streets — all of these places are going to feel the impact of £20 being cut. at the foodbank in camborne, volunteers expect an increase in demand. historically, cuts to benefits levels have often led to more requests for help. i think the problem is, when you're on a very low income, if you get another £20 a week it's really helpful. but you're never in a situation where you don't need that extra money. the uplift costs about £6 billion a year, and the government say that, with the economy reopening, manyjobs are available, so it's right to remove the temporary uplift. they've also made £500 million available to help the most vulnerable, and they want employers to pay higher wages — as some have — to ease the impact of the cut. michael buchanan, bbc news, cornwall. laura robinson is a single mother to a child with additional needs — she works, but uses universal credit to

there was i a suggestion from the government you could work an extra couple of hours to make up for the shortfall when the £20 uplift ends. that is today. what do you make up that suggestion? it's notjust a couple of hours. because you have your deductions, you have to work about nine hours, with your national insurance, your tax, deductions from the universal credit, just to be on an even keel. people like myself can't do the extra nine hours. i need to pick up my child when school finishes, give him anything he needs. the government's _ him anything he needs. the government's argument in all of this is this was only meant to be a temp remeasure during the pandemic, when people needed emergency support. the government say they have done that, given people support like you, when you needed it, during the pandemic, now it is costing £6 billion a year, they have to take it away again? i am aware that it was just a temporary uplift. but it has made people live a little bit more comfortable, instead ofjust comfortable, instead of just living... comfortable, instead ofjust living... it's not even living, it's just surviving. you are merely surviving with what you get on universal credit. you are just happy you have a little bit of bread, and some tins, so you can have beans on toast. you have no luxuries in life. with that £20, you are not getting luxuries, you are providing meals, gas, everything yourfamily luxuries, you are providing meals, gas, everything your family needs, your basic needs for yourself. the government _ your basic needs for yourself. the government also say they don't want people to reliant on welfare benefits. dominic raab said we don't want people falling into the welfare trap. want people falling into the welfare tra -. ~ , want

mother who has been on universal credit. that uplift of £20 is ending today. crowds gathered in east sussex last night for a vigil to honour the murdered primary school teacher, sabina nessa. she was killed as she walked home in south—east london last month. people held photos of the 28—year—old and shone lights at the memorial event in eastbourne, where the man charged with her murder was arrested. a man has died and another has been left with serious injuries following a series of stabbings in gloucestershire. the two men and a woman were attacked during an incident in walton cardiff, near tewkesbury, yesterday evening. a man in his 50s has been arrested and remains in custody. officers said members of the public intervened, and a police cordon remains in place. the headlines on bbc news... borisjohnson boris johnson closes borisjohnson closes the conservative party conference today with a promise his government has more guts than any before, when it comes to issues facing society and the economy. the £20 a week increased universal credit, claimed by almost 6 million people, comes to an end today. next week, anybody who wants to get into a nightclub or a large event in wales will need a covid pass to show that they have been fully vaccinated or have recently tested negative. more on that story, and as i was saying... anyone going to a nightclub or other large event in wales will need a covid pass from next week, to show they have been fully vaccinated or recently tested negative. the measures were voted in by members of the welsh assembly. it was thought the motion wouldn't go through, but a surprise technical hitch meant the opposition failed to block it. tomos morgan has more. in the hour or so before yesterday's vote, plaid cymru pulled out of supporting the welsh labour government's proposals — meaning that the measure was due to fail byjust a single vote. but, come voting time, one conservative ms — who was due to vote against — was unable to log onto zoom to take part. we still have a member who's desperately fighting to get into zoom. and that meant, to some astonishment, the measure passed. from next week in wales, vaccine passes will be required for those attending an indoor non—seating event of more than 500, an outdoor event with no seating with more than 4,000, any event with more than 10,000, and those going to a nightclub. so how will this work in practice? well, despite the first minister suggesting that there would be an app available, like in england, there won't be here in wales. nightclub—goers and event—goers here will have to register through a web—based operating system, one that's been operating for the past three months. they'll begin the process by using their nhs login number and then they'll input whether they've had a double vaccine or a recent negative covid test. the government say event organisers should take reasonable measures to check people are eligible to enter, but anticipate night clubs should be checking everyone. nightclub owners say guidance on enforcement of the proposals are unclear, and there is speculation that the tories could challenge last night's result. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. let's get more on this from michael kill who's the ceo of the night time industries association. thanks for being with us. what is your response to this? it

government, and we are extremely frustrated with that. we will be working hard this morning to represent to the welsh conservatives, to see if we can get this challenged and push welsh government to look to go to a revote. because this is quite a pivotal position for us. it is going to affect a huge amount of businesses and a huge amount of people's livelihoods. iitrutheit businesses and a huge

actually is the problem? tie: challenges are, it's more around the interpretation of some of these regulations and guidelines. and where the lines are drawn. also, we are looking at things like market distortion, the fact that some types of businesses, with similar proximity and contact, are excluded from this, where other businesses aren't. it definitely seems to be focused on late night economy, and some of the cultural spaces, which are quite significant for tourism and the economy, particularly things like the regeneration of the high street. there are quite a lot of issues there, including the level of discrimination, and challenges around equalities, and access. we have seen so many issues in scotland, we are looking to see a repeat in wales, which is a huge concern. after seeing the guidelines and regulations, there is still a lot of ambiguity in the wording, which is going to cause confusion not only for customers, but also for operators and police and licensing officers across wales.— officers across wales. people will sa , officers across wales. people will say. listening _ officers across wales. people will say, listening to _ officers across wales. people will say,

time, of people, loads of people packed togetherfor a long time, during the night. and it is important that you do have special measures? i understand where you're coming from. we don't take lightly the fact that we want to keep our customers and safe. but we are really putting quite a considerable amount of measures in place already, and feel this is a stretch too far, particularly as it is focused around nightclubs, as you suggested. what i would say is that at midnight, in a city centre pub or bar, it is noted similar to city centre pub or bar, it is noted similarto midnight at city centre pub or bar, it is noted similar to midnight at a city centre club in terms of proximity and contact. the challenges remain that there is much ambiguity about it. there is no doubt in our mind that we are focused on keeping people safe, but we have done a fantastic job so far retaining that position, and feel that this additional measure is going too far, particularly with the rates as they sit at the moment. thank you very much indeed. scientists in france believe they can explain why some people infected with covid—i9 develop chilblain—like lesions on their toes and even fingers. they say the phenomenon — known as "covid toe" — is a side effect of the body switching into attack mode to fight off the virus. the lesions are usually relatively painless and go away on their own but for some they can be very sore. britain's biggest supermarket group, tesco, has seen sales and profits grow more than expected. tesco reported a i6% rise in profit for the first half of the year — despite the disruption in the supply chain. the supermarket says sales have been strong but it expects that will fall away over the rest of the year. it's predicting profits will be around £2.5 billion by the end of the financial year. the boss of facebook, mark zuckerberg, has hit back at criticism from a former employee turned whistleblower who testified in the us senate. frances haugen said the company's sites and apps have harmed children and fuelled division. mr zuckerberg said the argument that facebook deliberately pushed content that made people angry for profit was illogical. in a blog mr zuckerberg wrote the testimonyjust doesn't reflect the company we know. we care deeply about issues like safety, well—being and mental health. it's difficult to see coverage that misrepresents our work and our motives. our north america technology reporterjames clayton has more. eleanor and freya are both iii and, like many teenagers, they're both on instagram. as a teenager you're looking at these people, like, all these models, and, you know, influencers — they are all very, very skinny and they have, like, a perfect body. and when you're looking at that and then kind of comparing yourself to it, it's, like, very... i think it could be really damaging. when you're, like, feeling at your worst, and then you go on instagram and see things that are, like, targeted at you because you've looked at these kind of things before... you see them, like — yeah, models, influencers, celebrities, things like that and you're just like, "oh, well, i'll never be like that." eleanor and freya's concerns are in fact shared by one rather important company — facebook, which owns instagram. in fact, leaked internal research found that teens who've struggled with mental health say that instagram makes it worse. the woman who leaked that internal report is called frances haugen — yesterday giving evidence in washington. the documents i have provided to congress prove that facebook has repeatedly misled the public about what its own research reveals about the safety of children. she also said that facebook�*s motives were driven by money, rather than the mental health of its users. i saw facebook repeatedly encounter conflict between its own profits and our safety. facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favour of its own profits. here in silicon valley, facebook has pushed back, saying that some of the research presented is misleading, and despite the fact that instagram concluded that it could be damaging for children's mental health, it also says that it can have a positive impact. reacting to haugen's evidence was facebook�*s vice president of content policy, monika bickert. again, any time a single teen is having a bad experience, that's too much. one thing that shows that we are prioritising safety above profit is the very fact that we are asking these hard questions. facebook has said it's postponed a controversial project to create instagram for kids. but it's likely that the social network will face even more scrutiny and greater regulation in the us and further abroad. republicans and democrats don't agree on much, but taking action on facebook is one thing that has broad support. james clayton, bbc news. do you remember dolly the sheep? she was the first cloned mammal to be grown from an adult cell. since then, genetics have continued to develop and a shropshire laboratory has successfully cloned a champion racehorse. rebecca wood reports. as a showjumper, arko iii was outstanding — the horse that brought nick skelton out of retirement — shown here competing at the athens olympics. it's great to have a horse like this, you know? you get one of these horses a lifetime. when he died last year, despite having fathered lots of other successful horses like adonis here, his owners decided his genetic line was too good to lose. we didn't make that decision straight away. arko is very special. we haven't cloned him to replace him...and i don't think we'll ever replace him. and for his former rider, it's come as great news. he was very excited. in fact, i sent in a picture of the foal and he sent back, "wow! what's that?" and i said, "it's his clone." he did say to me — his words were, "i'd better not throw my boots away yet." and the start of that cloning process began here at a lab in whitchurch. the team here at gemini genetics are used to preserving important cells, and working on this project was no different. so he's just an amazing horse, he's a true showjumping legend and it's just brilliant to know that we've been able to use this technology to bring back the closest living replica we could get to him. he really is an opportunity to watch science and history in action, really, you know? you've got a genetic replica of a past legend being born — he's got tremendously big shoes to fill. in the uk, animal cloning is only legal at the moment for scientific research, so in cases like this, once the genetic material's been preserved here, it's taken to america, where the donor egg's planted in a horse. previous attempts have been very successful — this is murka's gem, he's a clone of another famous horse, gem twist. gem twist was a gelding and, at the time, he was one of the most prolific showjumpers of all time, but he couldn't breed cos he was a gelding, so they made a clone of him and now we've got murka's gem, who's a stallion in his own right. this is just part of the work being carried out here. charity nature's safe is building a cell bank of every endangered species in the world, so science like this could help to protect those species we're at risk of losing. you know, there's nearly 100 species a day going extinct. there's nearlyi million at risk. there's only 6 million species on the planet! and we're using these science and technologies that we've learned from the equine world to help stop species from going extinct. we can cryopreserve the samples down and literally bring these species back to life! as for the new arko, his owners are hoping in time he'll be just as successful as his predecessor. rebecca wood, bbc news. there is no cloning carol, who has the weather, because she is absolutely unique. i think that is a relief for most people. thank you very much. good morning, everybody. what a difference a day makes. yesterday we had torrential rain, gusty wind, today we are looking at drier conditions and brighter conditions. at the moment, still gusty winds down the east coast, still a fair bit of plywood around, with the odd spot of rain. most of that will ease. then we have a lot of dry and bright weather behind it. towards the west, the cloud is already building. a few showers will get into south—west england, possibly pembrokeshire as well. then a new band of rain shows its hand, moving in across northern ireland with strengthening wind. today's temperatures ranging from 11 in the north to 17 in the south. we start with clear skies this evening, but cloud moves from the west to east and the rain pushes across scotland, only to be replaced in the west by a new weather front, bringing only to be replaced in the west by a new weatherfront, bringing more rain, notjust to scotland, but also to northern ireland. temperatures tonight not falling away too low. again, looking at around or 12 degrees or at most. tomorrow we start on a cloudy note. and it will be thick enough on western coasts and hills for the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. meanwhile, the weather front is still across northern ireland and scotland, producing some rain. it is going to be unseasonably warm. we are looking at temperatures widely between 16 and 21 degrees. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines... borisjohnson closes the conservative party conference with a promise his government has more guts than any before when it comes to the issues facing society and the economy. has also got to be a question for the workers of this country to give those on lower and middle incomes, have they got the wages that they need to deal with the cost of living? and we are absolutely committed to making sure they do. but the brexit backing conservative peer and boss of next lord wilson says a rise in wages won't solve the whole problem and aggressively blaming business doesn't help. i think that that approach leads to queues at petrol stations and pigs being unnecessarily shot, so i don't think it's a particularly constructive approach. the think it's a particularly constructive approach. the £20 a week increase _

on tour, i've always wanted to play the best in the world, week in, week out so i'm here doing that and i just feel grateful to play such amazing places like here. i mean, it's completely different to the lower level tournaments that i've played before so, yeah, everything isjust such a new experience and great. reublic of ireland international callum robinson has revealed he has chosen not to be vaccinated despite twice contracting covid—19. robinson, who also plays for west bromwich albion, said, "it's my choice at this moment in time. "it's obviously annoying that i've caught it twice. "further down the line, i could change my mind." at the weekend, liverpool boss jurgen klopp said he was exasperated at players not getting the vaccine. as of last week, there were only seven premier league clubs where more than 50% of players had had theirjabs. england's ashes tour of australia looks set to go ahead, withjoe root reportedly committing to leading the side. the green light is set to be given in the next couple of days following positive talks between players�* representatives, the ecb, cricket australia and the australian government. the tour has been in some doubt due to concerns over whether families can travel, quarantine arrangements and any potential bubble players may have to live in. australia's t20 captain aaron finch sympathises with the position in the england players are in. they've been dragged from pillar to post with their schedule over the last couple of months. they've played a lot of test cricket, so, yeah, i can understand where they're coming from, having families around, especially in a pandemic, guys are on the road for a lot longer than what tours used to go, when you're adding on quarantine at the start and potentially at the end, depending where you are coming and going. so, yeah, isympathise fully with them. it was a disappointing start the women's champions league for arsenal. they were thrashed 4—1 at holders barcelona in their opening group game. craig templeton reports. barcelona had the whole of europe beating to the sound of their own drum last season. arsenal's first challenge was one of their toughest — try and beat the champions. but it didn't take long for the catalans to find their rhythm. mariona caldentey so close to giving them the lead. that lead would come soon enough, though. manuela zinsberger saved again. caldentey wouldn't be denied a second time. and barcelona wouldn't be denied a second goal. when you leave uefa player of the year alexia putellas in this much space, there is only going to be one result. if the result was in any question, the second half was only seconds old when it was answered. asisat oshoala, 3—0. arsenal did pull a goal back through frida maanum, but barcelona had the final say. lieke martens given the freedom of thejohan cruyff stadium. 4-1. barcelona, too hot to handle. arsenal given a real lesson. craig templeton, bbc news. elinor barker has revealed she

post—brexit fishing licenses. the french prime minister has threatened that bilateral cooperation between the two countries could be at risk. it's a slippery issue, and one with a troubled history. fishing rights for european boats in uk waters were a key stumbling block in the brexit negotiations. and the situation has not been eased in the post agreement world. paris is infuriated by london's refusal to grant what it considers as the full number of licences due to french fishing boats, allowing them to operate in british territorial waters. great britain does not respect its own signature, says the prime minister, adding he will bring the matter before the eu council to demand intervention. and not only that... translation: i say this solemnly, l in front of you, we will question l all the conditions of the agreements reached under the supervision of the european union, and also, if needs be, we will question bilateral collaboration is that we have with the united kingdom in multiple domains. such domains could include agreements between the two countries on energy, trade orders, travel links or security. on energy, trade, borders, travel links or security. his words went down well with french lawmakers are still angry over the uk's role in the security pact with australia and the us that sidelined france. britain has denied that its not been playing fair, saying that the fishing boats they rejected had not submitted the required evidence proving that they had fished in british waters before brexit. not always an easy task, especially for smaller boats. lord frost, the uk's brexit minister, denied the charges, saying that london had, in fact, been extremely generous to eu requests. arguments about fishing rates look set to rights look set to continue for some time, putting considerable pressure on an already strained relationship. gail maclellan, bbc news. the governor of california has once again called for an end to offshore drilling, following last week's massive oil spill off the southern coast of the state. gavin newsom said the spill underlined the need to end america's dependence on fossil fuels. from southern california, david willis reports. it's known as surf city, a 13—mile stretch of coastline that's come to define the california dream. now, though, the soft, sandy beaches have been disfigured by large black puddles of oil, after a ruptured offshore pipeline sent thousands of gallons of crude spewing into the sea. normally a mecca for sun worshippers, the huntington beach shoreline is now closed to tourists and is likely to stay that way until cleaning crews have finished removing thick globs of oil from the sand and rescuing imperilled birds and wildlife. at this time, we have recovered eight live birds that appear to be oiled, including three western grebes, an american coot and, as you know, one brown pelican that succumbed to chronic injuries. questions are being asked about why it took the texas—based company amplify energy, which owns the pipeline, 12 hours to report the spillage following complaints from local residents of a foul smell in the area. amplify says the pipeline could have been severed by the anchor of a passing ship. logjams resulting from the covid pandemic have led to an unusually high number of container vessels stationed offshore, as they wait to berth at local ports. california's governor has declared a state of emergency in the area and, after meeting local emergency workers, he reiterated his call for an end to offshore drilling. this is part of our past and we can moralise and talk about the good old days, we can talk about how important these rigs have been to the prosperity of this country and the middle class, but, at the end of the day, this is about the stale air of normalcy versus the fresh air of progress. officials are now using containment booms, floating barriers that help contain the spread of oil, in a bid to prevent more of it from washing up on the beach. but the spill has already brought boating and fishing in the area to a halt and closed one of the country's most popular stretches of coastline to visitors. david willis, bbc news, southern california. tensions over taiwan have been raised between president biden and the chinese leader at xi jinping, china saying the us not recognising taiwan's independence and beijing not taking the island by force. the riba stirling prize, for britain's best new building, will be announced next week — in a live programme here on the bbc news channel. the shortlist includes an eco—friendly mopsque in cambridge, a boat museum in the lake district and a univeristy building in south—west london. and a university building in south—west london. over the coming few days, we'll be looking at each of the six buildings on the shortlist. today is the turn of 15 clerkenwell close, a mixed—use office and residential building in central london. on construction, its limestone facade proved controversial — with the local council initially calling for the building's demolition, a decision later overturned on appeal. people might look at this building and think, oh, it's completely modern and contemporary, i've never seen anything like it. but, actually, the building methodology is as old as the megalithic architects, builders. my name is amin taha, i am chairman of groupwork, a firm of architects. we are in 15 clerkenwell close. it's a mixed—use building, it has office space in it and residential. this building is in many ways differentiated from others by the stone exoskeleton. the whole building is held up by stone alone, but, at the same time, it's going to be the externalfinish. what's it going to look like? what's the actual appearance of it? as we were visiting the quarries to decide what tone of limestone we might choose, the quarry master erected a column for us as an example of what this might look like. next to that was what's called a master block, which is extracted from the quarry. it had fossils, ammonite shells, fossilised coral, all over the surface. that is the expression not only of the material itself, but also the process, the skill of the quarry master and the stonemason, expressed in the material and therefore the architecture. the advantages of an exoskeleton are the internal structure. that flexibility at the moment is a series of moving walls and doors. those doors can slide across and subdivide a larger room into smaller ones, which essentially means that, whatever you lay out internally for today, can be removed tomorrow. i think one of the beauties of the apartments as a whole is the scale of the reception space, the way the sound works, the relationship to the outside. you can stand on the balcony and have a drink on a summer's evening. every modern building in the uk that has a flat roof needs what is called a biodiverse roof today. you plant some grasses, some wild flowers, you might place some logs, etc, in the hope of attracting some sorts of insects. there are two beehives up there as well as bird boxes. we didn't expect it to flourish so vigorously. it meant a lot to us to be able to investigate these ideas and see them through, to prove these things do work. i wouldn't call them innovations, but rediscovery of how to build a simpler, quicker, cheaper, greener. you can put a 30—storey equivalent of this building up and be carbon negative. the construction industry, if we could do it overnight, could go from carbon emitter to carbon absorber. one of the contenders for the riba stirling prize. we'll have more on that later today. and there will be live coverage of the award ceremony here on the bbc news channel on the 14th of october. i look at the latest headlines now.

million years ago in what we now know as south wales and the bristol channel. it's a discovery that nearly didn't happen because of a filing error, as our science correspondent laura foster reports. it's a killer roughly the size of a chicken, and it existed tens of millions of years before more well—known dinosaurs such as the t—rex and velociraptor came along. it would have had a very narrow and long snout, but otherwise, yeah, a typical theropod — walking on two legs, with a long tail and a mouth full of sharp, serrated teeth. but the clues to its existence have been hidden in the depths of the natural history museum since the 1950s — mistakenly filed alongside crocodile remains. there's not much of the animal. what we have is really fantastically preserved. it's only now the uk's earliest meat—eating dinosaur has been identified. this goes to show how vast the collections of the natural history museum are and we have so many specimens... you know, it's not always straightforward. discoveries like this are rare, but they give us a very important insight into the very early stages of dinosaur evolution. laura foster, bbc news, at the natural history museum in london. it isa it is a fascinating story, let's explore it a bit more with the doctor we just saw in the report, research fellow at the natural history museum and who named and described the dinosaur in a scientificjournal. first of all, it is fascinating there should be a filing error like this, explain more about what happened. goad filing error like this, explain more about what happened. good

this material but it had neverformally been published and named. then, overthe had neverformally been published and named. then, over the years, as more specimens come in, things need to move, things get prepared, it got placed in a drawer where it couldn't be found for a while. and angela milner, the scientist who we named this species after, she was able to discover this specimen in the

rex and in the early days of dinosaur revolution, the dinosaurs weren't as big yet. but even for the meat eating dinosaurs, it is remarkably small and it might be to do with the fact that it was

this is how these animals got preserved and then this quarry was worked on, but this part of the quarry was not of interest as i was put aside, so i was basically put on big spoil heaps — it was put

the biggest fans of the honey—loving bear will get the chance to own a piece of history. the bridge which inspired the setting where pooh, piglet and their friends played the game �*pooh sticks�*, goes up for auction today. zoe conway has been to find out more. in the heart of ashdown forest, hugo, evie and freddie are ready. ready for the fight, ready for pooh sticks. they�*ve chosen their sticks carefully. i like how it�*s almost got a handle here and it�*s quite thick but not really weak. mine's got, like, a fork here. it's got, like hugo said, a handle and it's probably going to give it a bit more support since they're kind of not all straight, they've got two, like, bits to kind of even it out. it's unique and you can hold it - and then it looks a bit like a bone. they�*re playing pooh sticks at the very same stretch of river that aa milne imagined winnie the pooh dropping his sticks. but it isn�*t the same bridge that the stories were set on, it�*s a replica. so what are the rules? when you drop your stick — no throwing — and you... you�*ve all got to do it at the same height and also, the other rule, is all do it at the same time. it is quite hard to really tell ever who the proper winner is because you're not even sure if it's got stuck or it might have just sank. also there's always loads of different sticks falling into the water. freddie, have you got anything to add to the rules? not really. 1, 2, 3, go! before we find out who�*s won, it�*s time to go back to the beginning of the story. they dropped their sticks in when rabbit said, "go." and then they had all hurried across to the other side of the bridge and now they�*re all leaning over the edge, waiting to see whose stick would come out first. but it was a long time coming because the river was very lazy that day. it was in the house at pooh corner, published in 1928, that winnie the pooh first played the game of pooh sticks. and this is the original bridge built in 1907 that inspired aa milne to dream up pooh sticks, which he would play on the bridge with his son — the real—life christopher robin. the bridge had become so worn out that in the late—1990s it was dismantled. for years, the wood was left in a pile before being rescued and reassembled in this field in kent. it had been taken down by the health and safety whoevers and just dumped in a pile in the forest. i mean, covered with a sheet of material but obviously it would rot away and someone�*s got to do something with it. unfortunately, it fell to me. but it is such an iconic item. you know, it�*s so many people�*s childhood — pictures of pooh and christopher robin peering over the rails. it�*s great stuff. mike repaired it and replaced some of the bridge with old oak from the weald of kent. there�*s one of the original planks that we got and this is one of the replacements, which we milled here on site. and that�*s from a tree that�*s been growing here a couple of hundred years. so it certainly predates the original bridge and it certainly predates christopher robin. later today, the bridge will be sold at auction. it�*s expected to fetch at least £110,000. it could be bought by an overseas buyer and be taken out of the country. one, two, three, go! back in the forest, evie, hugo and freddie now have a result — of sorts. i think hugo won, or it might have been freddie�*s won and mine might have drowned again. i�*m not sure. and so perhaps it�*s fitting to give winnie the pooh the final word. he said, "we didn�*t realise we were making memories, "we just knew we were having fun." zoe conway, bbc news. now, carol is going to tell us a story about the weather, i hope it is a nice story! very good, thank you. good morning, it is not too bad, actually. what we have today is a vastly different data yesterday, much drier, much brighter although there is still some rain in the forecast and the cloud will bring up in the — build up cloud will bring up in the — build up in the west ahead of the rain. currently, we have gusty winds down the east coast courtesy of yesterday�*s low pressure, it is pulling away slowly and we have the first on bringing in rain and a second later tonight bringing rain and the second one will be with us for much of the rest of this week. we also have more cloud than the east coast, some of it will hang around in east anglia and the south—east for much of the day, but a lot of dry weather and bright skies and sunny spells across scotland, but, in the west, the cloud will build in the day ahead of the rain coming in which will already be in northern ireland, accompanied by strengthening winds. more clad building across south—west england, wales and the south—west and a few showers in the south—west, possibly on to pembrokeshire as well and temperature is 11—17 . through this evening and overnight, the first weather front brings rain across northern england and scotland and a lot of cloud across the rest of england and wales. then the second weather front comes in, reintroducing rain to western scotland and back into northern ireland. as a result of this, it is not going to be a cold night. however, if the cloud remains broken in the south—east, tomorrow morning, we will start with temperatures as low as four or five, so you will notice that. tomorrow will be a cloudy day generally and, in the west, the cloud will be thick enough for some patchy rain or drizzle. meanwhile, the weather front is still producing rain across northern ireland and wales. blustery conditions as well, this is a waving weather front, literally doing that. temperatures, widely16—21, above average for the time of year. into friday, we start on a mild note but with mist and fog across southern areas, that will lift, sunshine around on friday, more than thursday and here is the waving weather front, still with us across western scotland and northern ireland and, ljy scotland and northern ireland and, by then, rainfall totals will be building around the argyll and bute kind of area. again, temperatures up to 21 or 22. as we head into saturday, the weather front slips southwards as a weak feature with some rain. behind it, we see things version but we will have sunshine and milder conditions ahead of it. i will have more weather in about half an hour. this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. borisjohnson closes the uk conservative party conference with a promise his government has more "guts" than any before when it comes to the issues facing society and the economy. there�*s also got to be a question for the workers of this country, particularly those on low and middle incomes, of have they got to the wages that they need to deal with the cost of living? and we are absolutely committed to making sure they do. but lord wilson says a rise in wages will not solve the whole problem. i think that approach leads to queues at petrol stations and pigs being unnecessarily shot. i don�*t think that is a particularly constructive approach.
