big changes to travel rules kick in. we will look at the new rules on how they might change further and what it means for the half term holiday and winter getaway plans. we look at what will be done to make this festive season a success. and could christmas be coming early for newcastle united fans. a major hurdle to a deal for newcastle is removed. a weather front draped across western scotland and northern ireland will produce rainbow but it will be worn for the next days for all of us. it's thursday, october the 7th. our top story. householders are being warned their energy bills could rise by another £400 early next year after gas prices soared to record levels. that's on top on rises caused by the higher energy price cap that came into effect last week. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, will face industry bosses later today as the sector deals with an unprecedented spike in wholesale costs. kevin peachey reports. just like the season's weather, bill payers are being warned the worst is yet to come. a host of energy companies have collapsed in recent weeks. their customers moved to a new supplier are already having to pay hundreds of pounds more a year than they expected. a price cap does protect millions of people from extreme rises in bills, but analysts say, next year, they will still face a bill shock. under the price cap, a customer now pays £1277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity. analysts expect that typical bill to rise to £1600 when a revised but as yet undecided cap starts in april. compare that with a year ago, when you could have got a deal costing just over £850 a year. we are competing with the rest of the world, the rest of europe, for gas supplies. unfortunately, it is the reality. price comparison sites, which historically talk about how much we can save you by switching. but the reality is that is not there at the moment, and very few people for the whole of this year, really, have been in a position where they would be able to save, compared to last year. still, producers confirmed they halted production at times of high demand, showing that industry, as well as consumers, is feeling the impact of rising costs. some of the heat was drawn from the crisis yesterday when russia said it would increase gas supplies to europe, helping to limit the latest surge in wholesale gas prices. but it hasn't ended cause for the uk government to step in. the business secretary will be expected to address concerns of the energy sector today. but then also the worries of businesses and consumers in the weeks to come. a premier league footballer has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman. the man is in his 20s and plays for brighton and hove albion. he was arrested at a nightclub in brighton early on wednesday. the club said it was helping police with the investigation. prince andrew's legal team has been granted permission to review a sealed document they believe will end the sexual abuse lawsuit against him. the document details a settlement between the duke of york's accuser, virginia guiffre, and the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein. the prince has categorically denied ms guiffre�*s claims. people who have had covid, as well as being double vaccinated, have greater protection from the virus, according to new research. a study run in collaboration with king's college london researchers, found that an individual�*s protection against the virus can be as much as 94 per cent if they have tested positive in the past and received both jabs. that falls to 65 per cent if a person is unvaccinated. ministers in northern ireland will meet today to formally review the country's covid restrictions. people in northern ireland are currently still required to keep a distance in hospitality venues, and household gatherings are limited to fifteen people. any decisions made today will come into force in a week's time. nine months after it was rolled out, the astrazeneca covid vaccine has finally reached the antarctic. it was flown there this week to immunise the 23 staff members who've been keeping a british research station running through the polar winter. 0ur science correspondent jonathan amos reports. it is literally at the end of the earth. this is the antarctic, a place of extremes, where you really must avoid getting sick. which is why the arrival this week of the astrazeneca covid vaccine is so important. it will keep those who work on the white continent safe. getting the coronavirus jabs there, however, has been a grand challenge. it is a 10,000—mile flight from england to the rothera station, with stopovers required in africa and the falklands. but the astrazeneca vaccine is now in the arms of the scientists who reside on the antarctic peninsula during its cold, dark winter. they know it helps protect in case covid got to the station, but also they are going to be leaving in the next few months, anyway, so that group is going to do their summer season at rothera and then they are going back and perhaps one of the scariest parts is when one of the team get back into uk society and covid, there are so many cases per day. so we are protecting that team before they have to get back on the air bridge flights back to the uk and back to see their family and friends. this is the furthest south the astrazeneca jab has reached. it means all continents have now received at least some doses. there has been very little covid, so far, in antarctica. just one isolated outbreak at a chilean research station. international science agencies want to keep it that way and anyone going south in the coming months will still have to quarantine. jonathan amos, bbc news. let's pick up the weather. that is a lovely picture. it is from the library. i can tell you lovely blue skies but today some cloud. it is a mild start. at the moment, temperatures in northern ireland are 17 degrees in places and western parts of the uk between 14—16 and these temperatures are set to rise as we go through the next few days. this morning starting with cloud. some of it will break up and we will see sunshine. a weather front across northern ireland and scotland. it is a waving weather front and will be with us the next days and it is literally doing that so we will not see rain in the same places but predominantly scotland and northern ireland. we could see large rain totals in western scotland. these are the temperatures. maybe we could get up to 21 if we see sunshine for any length of time. the same waving weather front tonight. it waves further south. cloudy tonight. also, some mist and fog patches forming and that will take time to lift. with the subtle change in wind direction war should see sunshine. again, the waving weather front, waving further back to western scotland and the west of northern ireland. these are the temperatures we can expect overnight but by day tomorrow, a high of up to possibly 22. it is getting warmer. thanks. we're expecting to hear that more countries are to be removed from the government's so called red list later today — that's the list of countries from which travellers currently have to stay in a government approved quarantine hotel. the traffic light system that has restricted foreign travel during the pandemic was scrapped at the start of this week as part of moves to ease the rules around foreign travel. so what does this mean for holidaymakers? ben boulos is at gatwick airport. it could mean changes happening and talk us through what is expected. a crucial week for anyone planning foreign travel perhaps for half term or going in search of winter sun. the traffic light system dictated foreign travel since may, when coronavirus restrictions started to be lifted, but it has changed this week. let's look at the new rules. the traffic light system of bringing amber and red countries has gone and is replaced by a simpler system of red list countries and the rest of the world. what happens if you go on holiday to a country that is not on the red list. if you have no vaccine and under 18 orfully the red list. if you have no vaccine and under 18 or fully vaccinated, you no longer have to do a predeparture you no longer have to do a predepa rtu re test before you no longer have to do a predeparture test before catching your flight home. predeparture test before catching yourflight home. you predeparture test before catching your flight home. you also predeparture test before catching yourflight home. you also no longer have to do a day eight pcr test when you arrive back in the uk and you do not have to isolate at home. what you have to do is book, pay for and take a day two covid test. at the moment it has to be a pcr test but the government is looking to change that to a cheaper lateral flow test but has not given a date, and you also have to fill in a passenger locator form also have to fill in a passenger locatorform before also have to fill in a passenger locator form before catching a flight home. if you go to a red list country, you have to pay £2285 for an 11 night stay at a government approved quarantine hotel in the uk and at the moment there are about 50 countries on the red list including south africa, mexico, tunisia. we expect the government to take a number of the list and that would open up a number of more long call destinations. we can talk about this in detail with simon calder, travel editor of the independent. some changes to the foreign office travel advice, what is the latest? it is

and there were 32 countries on the okay to go list from the department for transport but on the foreign office, no go list. although that is not the law like the red list it is significant because it means travel insurance is typically not valid and holiday companies do not operate there but suddenly we discovered countries such as bangladesh, gambia and ghana were no longer at risk. we expect cuts to the red list today and as soon as those have happened, we understand the foreign office will take those countries off the no go list. we have two lists and they are getting more aligned.—

government says it is keen to get this change imposed by the time the half term holiday in england and wales are coming to an end. if you are going away in the last week of october you should find instead of paying up to £70 per person for pcr test, you might pay 25. so well worthwhile the saving, but no clarity as to when that might happen and lots of people are booking tests they may not need

list i am happy to go to a report there for you. very good of you. we will pass that one up the chain. we can look at the papers. and many feature reaction to borisjohnson�*s party conference speech. "there may be trouble ahead" is the is headline, as it reports the prime minister "shrugs off britain's cost of living crisis". the paper says a "buoyant prime minister argued that the uk is facing post brexit transition problems on the way to a higher wage economy. the daily mirrorfocuses on a shortage of abattoir workers, which the paper says could mean that up to 100,000 pigs could be culled and burned rather than sold as food. the times says the prime minister is facing a "business backlash", reporting that pro—brexit industry leaders have accused the government of treating them like a bogeymen over labour shortages. "business is not an endless sponge that can keep absorbing costs in one go," iceland's managing director told the paper. finally, if you want to get to the bottom of the social media outage earlier this week, then look no further than the daily star. it reports that the psychic uri geller is blaming extra terrestrials for the problems that affected facebook, instagram and whatsapp. iam keen i am keen to learn his evidence for that. not so much, really. these are nice pictures. sometimes it is nice to look at a nice picture. the inside pages of the times newspaper and a lovely, smiling picture

wales. ireland where green, wales where read. people who suffer from colourblindness, they have difficulty distinguishing between red and green. from 2027, these two teams will not play in those colours to avoid people having that. bill beaumont is the head of world rugby and suffers from colourblindness. the reason it is such a long time, apparently all the kits are predetermined for that period of time. would it work if one changed colour? because it is the distinction? and they are focusing on red and green. joe wicks was a familiar face to many of us during lockdown, as he attempted

from london and the south—east, i'm victoria hollins. the first phase of the grenfell tower inquiry recommended that disabled people have personalised emergency evacuation plans. they're common in workplaces but rare in residential properties. the government had stated the plans were �*usually unrealistic�* it has now retracted that advice while new guidance is drawn up a move welcomed by campaigners. personal evacuation plans are not a luxury but a necessity but a matter of life and death and it affects the disabled person and the human dilemma that family members cannot leave theirfamily dilemma that family members cannot leave their family members behind dilemma that family members cannot leave theirfamily members behind in a situation like that. in a statement the government said "we are committed to improving fire safety which is why we are intending shortyl to implement legislation to deliver the majority of the grenfell phase one recommendations and will be providing guidance in due course." gatwick airport is proposing to cap aircraft noise if its plans to get a second runway into regular use are successful. under its proposals the northern runway currently used for taxi ing and emergencies would be used routinely. the airport says new quieter planes in the future will replace older noisier ones. 0pponents though say the expansion will be environmentally damaging. a cross party, cross borough petition is launching today calling for a new hospital for north east london to replace whipps cross. the �*whipps won�*t wait�* campaign wants the government to commit funds pledged by borisjohnonson in 2019 for a new hospital. the a and e at whipps cross was closed earlier this year afterflooding during heavy rain. an invasive �*stink bug�*

moment. how important is it for people such as yourself who did serve in afghanistan that we have events like this? as i said before it�*s a chance for us to reflect on everything that happened out there and everywhere that served there and how the british forces served with professionalism, courage, sacrifice and pride in afghanistan. peter, thank you for joining us and i look forward to the ceremony at about half past seven. as peter was saying, it�*s usually important for many family members who died that these events to take place and it will be a low—key ceremony, the one here, as will the one in whitehall will be as well. 457 uk military personnel died in that conflict and many other coalition forces, 2300 us personnel died and it is also thought more than 45,000 afghan civilians died during the 20 year conflict, so a hugely significant event. last month, we saw the 20th anniversary of the september the 11th attacks and this conflict in afghanistan very much a response to those dreadful events. so a lot to think about and reflect upon this morning. team, we will be back with you and it�*s worth saying that we will be catching up with mark 0rmerod, a former royal marine commander who lost both his legs above the knee, his right arm above the elbow while serving in afghanistan and you might remember and we have shown it a bit here, he�*s doing this

arabia because of the ethics and rights record and a couple of obstacles, one of which seems to be resolved to do with the tv piracy rights and a middle east rabat tv rights which seems to have gone away, so one of the hurdle seems to have been cleared. i sometimes receive a quizzicalface, but i can explain more. a saudi arabian backed takeover of newcastle united appears to have moved a step closer, after the country resolved a tv piracy dispute. the issue has been part of a disagreement between newcastle and the premier league over a 300 million pound takeover which collapsed last summer. there is now a consortium with a public investment fund which is separate to the sate of saudi arabia which provides most of the money for the £300 million takeover deal and all this means the deal can get go—ahead and there was this at the heart of the big disagreement between newcastle and the premier league and whether the new owners would pass the owners and directors test. let speak to

have this weather frontier, a waving front which means it is producing some rain and will be with us across scotland and northern ireland over the next few days so there will be rain for you, not always in the same place, so we have our first front which went overnight over the north—east and that will move towards the northern isles and then we have the waving weather front to the west of scotland and also northern ireland. a lot of cloud this morning, some thick cloud, particularly in the west and on the coasts and hills there will be drizzle around but as we go through the morning one or two breaks will develop in this cloud and we will start to see a little bit of sunshine but there will be more cloud around than sunshine today. the rain is persisting across northern ireland and western scotland through the day and through the next few days we will see large rainfall across the likes of lochaber, mould, tyree on those kind of areas and it might lead to some flooding issues but as we look at the temperatures you can see 13 or “p the temperatures you can see 13 or up to 20 across the board. this evening and overnight we have the waving weather front and it waives a little bit further south into northern england and could clip north west wales and there will be clear skies and with lighter winds further south, clear skies and with lighter winds furthersouth, it clear skies and with lighter winds further south, it means we are going to have some mist and fog patches for me and some low cloud generally, but look at the temperatures, another mild one. we start off tomorrow with far across central and south—east england and some of this will be dense and slow to lift but it will lift into low cloud and through the day it should break up and we will see more sunshine tomorrow. there is a subtle change in wind direction tomorrow so that will break up the cloud and bring in drier air but will break up the cloud and bring in drierair but we will break up the cloud and bring in drier air but we still have a waving weather front across northern ireland and western scotland bringing in some more rain. temperatures ranging from 13 in the north to 21 as we push further south. into saturday, here is the waving weather front, a south. into saturday, here is the waving weatherfront, a real mouthful, and it�*s starting to slip further south and it will weaken but it�*s the sign of a change because behind it things morkel — cool down a little bit and ahead of it a bit of sunshine around after early morning fog and then on sunday, the weak weather front eventually makes it down to the south—east and there will still be a lot of dry weather and sunshine and a few showers dotted along the north—west coming in on a north—westerly breeze, but temperatures only 14 in edinburgh and you think that this morning already it is 16 and heading toward 17. quite a change, charlie and nina. bringing a new dog home should be a happy time but the actions of dishonest sellers who don�*t properly care for the animals can mean it becomes a traumatic experience. that�*s what happened to richard ackers his puppy died just days after he bought him.

warm. the details in ten minutes. it�*s thursday, october the 7th. our top story. householders are being warned their energy bills could rise by another £400 early next year after gas prices soared to record levels. that�*s on top on rises caused by the higher energy price cap that came into effect last week. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, will face industry bosses later today as the sector deals with an unprecedented spike in wholesale costs. kevin peachey reports. just like the season�*s weather, bill payers are being warned the worst is yet to come. a host of energy companies have collapsed in recent weeks. their customers moved to a new supplier are already having to pay hundreds of pounds more a year than they expected. a price cap does protect millions of people from extreme rises rises in bills, but, analysts say, next year, they will still face a bill shock. under the price cap, a customer now pays £1277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity. analysts expect that typical bill to rise to £1600 when a revised but as yet undecided cap starts in april. compare that with a year ago, when you could have got a deal costing just over £850 a year. we are competing with the rest of the world, the rest of europe, for gas supplies. unfortunately, it is the reality. price comparison sites, which historically talk about how much we can save you by switching. but the reality is that is not there at the moment, and very few people for the whole of this year, really, have been in a position where they would be able to save, compared to last year. still, producers confirmed they halted production at times of high demand, showing that industry, as well as consumers, is feeling the impact of rising costs. some of the heat was drawn from the crisis yesterday when russia said it would increase gas supplies to europe, helping to limit the latest surge in wholesale gas prices. but it hasn�*t ended cause for the uk government to step in. the business secretary will be expected to address concerns of the energy sector today. but then also the worries of businesses and consumers in the weeks to come. we can speak to our political correspondent. this news about gas prices, bearing in mind what boris johnson said about his lack of concern really about how things were going in future with wage rises as he promises, give us a picture of how this is building up.— he promises, give us a picture of how this is building up. there are demands on _ how this is building up. there are demands on government - how this is building up. there are demands on government to i how this is building up. there are demands on government to do i demands on government to do something to step in and help industry. so far the government focused response on protecting consumers and talked about the energy cap and how it helps to do that. there are calls from industries like the energy intensive users group that represents industries that use a lot of energy, such as chemical and steel manufacturers. they say the government needs to help otherwise you are looking at higher prices or possibly temporary closures of factories or even switching back to more polluting fuel. so far the government response has not indicated it is preparing to do that. it said it has provided extensive support to energy intensive industries and says the way the uk is exposed to gas prices shows the importance of growing a home renewable energy sector. the business secretary said the uk had a serious ambition for the uk to stop using fossilfuels by serious ambition for the uk to stop using fossil fuels by 2035. it seems to be in the longer term context the government is framing response to more immediate concerns. the question will be if they dig in on that or if something happens to change that. that or if something happens to change that-— a premier league footballer has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman. the man is in his 20s and plays for brighton and hove albion. he was arrested at a nightclub in brighton early on wednesday. the club said it was helping police with the investigation. prince andrew�*s legal team has been granted permission to review a sealed document they believe will end the sexual abuse lawsuit against him. the document details a settlement between the duke of york�*s accuser, virginia guiffre, and the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein. the prince has categorically denied ms guiffre�*s claims. research shows that people who have had covid as well as being double vaccinated have greater protection from the virus. a study found individual�*s protection can be as much as 94% if they have tested positive in the past and receive both jabs, falling to 65% if the person is not vaccinated. ministers in northern ireland will meet today to formally review the country�*s covid restrictions. people are currently still required to socially distance in pubs and restaurants, and indoor gatherings are limited to fifteen people from four households. the hospitality industry in northern ireland has been calling for remaining restrictions to be scrapped. any decisions made today will come into force in a week�*s time. nine months after it was rolled out, the astrazeneca covid vaccine has finally reached the antarctic. it was flown there this week to immunise the 23 staff members who�*ve been keeping a british research station running through the polar winter. our science correspondent jonathan amos reports. it is literally at the end of the earth. this is the antarctic, a place of extremes where you really must avoid getting sick. which is why the arrival this week of the astrazeneca covid vaccine is so important. it will keep those who work on the white continent safe. getting the coronavirus jabs there, however, has been a grand challenge. it is a 10,000—mile flight from england to the rothera station, with stopovers required in africa and the falklands. but the astrazeneca vaccine is now in the arms of the scientists who reside on the antarctic peninsula during its cold, dark winter. they know it helps protect in case covid got to the station, but also they are going to be leaving in the next few months, anyway, so that group is going to do their summer season at rothera and then they are going back, and perhaps one of the scariest parts is when one of the team get back into uk society and covid, there are so many cases per day. so we are protecting that team before they have to get back on the air bridge flights back to the uk and back to see their family and friends. this is the furthest south the astrazeneca jab has reached. it means all continents have now received at least some doses. there has been very little covid, so far, in antarctica. just one isolated outbreak at a chilean research station. international science agencies want to keep it that way and anyone going south in the coming months will still have to quarantine. jonathan amos, bbc news. the james bond actor daniel craig has been honoured with a star on the hollywood walk of fame. it was unveiled just yards away from his bond predecessor, sir roger moore. speaking at the event, daniel craig joked that it was an "absolute honour to be walked all over in hollywood". children across much of africa are to be vaccinated against malaria in an historic moment in the fight against the deadly disease. the world health organisation has given its backing to the jab. let�*s look at the figures. malaria is a parasitic disease, spread by mosquitoes, which

jab need to be given to babies in order for it to work. it�*s thought the rollout will lead to a 30 per cent reduction in severe cases. we�*rejoined now from uganda by drjames tibenderana, who is the

the malaria these developments happen? ii9 malaria parasite these developments happen? "ii9 malaria parasite is these developments happen? ii9 malaria parasite is significantly more complex and organism than a virus, which is simply a strand of dna, even rna. and so developing a vaccine against a complex organism will take more time. the malaria parasite is also variable, with variable surface antigens, and in the same way it takes many years of exposure for a child to develop natural immunity, it is challenging to develop immunity using artificial means like a vaccine.— means like a vaccine. efficacy is at 40% means like a vaccine. efficacy is at 4096 which — means like a

protection into the second year of life and to get the full benefits of the vaccine we want the children to get all four doses. children have less contact with health facilities in the second year of life in so that is the most challenging point. this is something that has been evaluated in the pilot studies taking place in places such as ghana and malawi. and the results are looking promising. it will be a challenge but everyone i think is relatively optimistic. and even with low vaccine efficacy, it will make a huge difference in terms of tens of thousands of lives saved every year. doctor,

your time. time to catch up with the weather. good morning. good morning. what a lovely start in dunbar, with the weather watcher sending in this picture earlier. it is mild where ever you are and in the next few days, by day, unseasonably warm but even by night temperatures higher than they should be at this time of year. starting with cloud, some of it will break and we will see sunshine. we have a weather front in northern ireland and scotland bringing rain. around that brisk winds. the cloud thick enough in western areas and on the coasts and hills to produce drizzle. temperatures, pretty good. 16—20, may be 21 across the board. overnight, we have the weather front bringing in rain in parts of scotland and northern ireland. and showers in north—west england, possibly north—west wales. under clearer skies further south, we could see mist and fog forming. tomorrow that will take time to lift and when it does we will see more sunshine. the weather front in parts of northern ireland and scotland and so again here some rain. temperatures up to about 21 degrees tomorrow. not bad for the time of year. we�*ve heard plenty about the soaring cost of gas in recent weeks and how it�*s affecting our household bills, but yesterday prices rose to record levels. let�*s look at this in more detail... for the past two years, uk gas has remained well under 100 pence per therm — that�*s a measurement for natural gas used over time. at the start of this year it was 60 pence per therm, but high global demand, and reduced supply have driven prices up over the last 10 months. and those prices rose sharply by 37 percent in just 24 hours to trade at 400 pence per therm yesterday. later in the day, russia said it was boosting supplies to europe, and prices dropped to 257 pence per therm. i hope you got your heads around that! let�*s talk now to ellen fraser, who�*s an energy analyst. why the sudden surge overnight? we are seeing the supply and demand balance happening across the global economy and as various economies switch on post—pandemic consumption is increasing, putting pressure on gas from the supply side. china looking to be importers of gas which pushes prices quite high. with russia are intervening and looking to export more particularly to europe, the uk price came from the peak ofjust over £4 per firm, which is an unprecedented peak, but dropping quite rapidly with a bit of ease in the market in terms of seeing supply flows coming back from russia which is helpful. iterate seeing supply flows coming back from russia which is helpful.— russia

of wholesale price. the price cap is not currently cost reflective so two dynamics will happen, and first the wholesale price will push into the price cap, and we will see some of the cost of supplier of failures picked up in customer bills. two dynamics playing into bills next year which will increase bills unfortunately for consumers. it is volatile and _ unfortunately for consumers. it is

suppliers. there is l terms of energy suppliers. there is a range in the market from some who entered the market opportunistically and have not hedged well, versus organisations who are seasoned professionals who forecast accurately in terms of consumption customers need and buy and hedge accurately. therefore they are in a more robust situation in the winter period. the challenge is it is it is hard to forecast exactly what customers will need overwinter. we do not know what the weather will be like. if we have a hard winter, we will see even the most professional organisation struggle, because they will be exposed to the spot price on the open market. from a government standpoint we need to make sure it is not being invested in organisations that have not set themselves up properly. some small suppliers have this is about customer price protection, making sure suppliers can still operate, but customers do not necessarily see the price spikes. if the government was to intervene as we have seen in europe, the key thing is to protect customer price is not necessarily the suppliers that sit behind them. thank you very much. time for the knees where you are. good morning with your news from london and the south—east, i'm victoria hollins. the family of a disabled woman who died attracting grenfell tower says it's vital that people in tower blocks have their own personalised evacuation plan. they are common in workplaces but rare in residential properties. the first phase of the enquiry into the fire at granville recommended it should change. the government stated the plans were unrealistic and has retracted the advice while new guidance is drawn up. personal evacuation plans are not a luxury but a necessity but a matter of life and death and it affects the disabled person and the human dilemma that family members cannot leave their family members behind in a situation like that. in a statement the government said, "we are committed to improving fire safety which is why we are intending shortyl to implement legislation to deliver the majority of the grenfell phase one recommendations and will be providing guidance in due course." a cross party,

there is evidence from other countries it does work, i am a pragmatic secretary of state. i don't have a problem saying i will bring something back and improving which is why this is a different policy and i think it's a good one for teachers, especially those starting out in the early years of education between years one to five. and it's a good thing and a 10% uplift or bonus for retention and that is a great thing and i think it is the right thing to do. i'm pretty pragmatic about these things. that is aood pragmatic about these things. that is good news _ pragmatic about these things. that is good news for a handful of teachers, but the rest of them are now involved in a pay freeze which, as you will know well, if you have a pay freeze and inflation is going up, you are effectively worse off. so given that the teachers have a pay freeze, how are they going to gain from the prime minister's mantra of higher wages? number one, teachers have — mantra of higher wages? number one, teachers have done _ mantra of higher wages? number one, teachers have done a _ mantra of higher wages? number one, teachers have done a phenomenal - mantra of higher wages? number one, teachers have

starting salaries will touch 30,000 on the average salary ? when is that? we are pretty much almost there now but we will make sure we get there. i there now but we will make sure we aet there. . . r'

review negotiation with the treasury and we will say more about this in a couple of weeks' time on the spending review is completed. all i would say is that the average salary of a teacher is now £ai,800 and the increase, and it's notjust because of inflation, because there has been a pay freeze by teachers from 2020, back to 2020, the increase is about 7% because teachers have a path to increase their salary as they improve and extend their experience. if i may, i willjump in because i don't really understand what you're saying, if i'm honest with you. the manifesto promise you made in 2019 was that they would be up to the 30,000 mark by 2023. i was wrong, i said 202a, but it was 2023. is that going to happen? we said 2024, but it was 2023. is that going to happen?— going to

will go to 30,000 in the pledge we will deliver on. there is a pay freeze at the moment but i have a pay review body that looks at pay in the same way the health service on the whole sophie has a pay review body that looks at pay and when they make a revelation i will look at that. that is what i'm saying to you.— i will look at that. that is what i'm saying to you. can i ask you about universal _

that additional help both in terms of food and utility bills. but ou will terms of food and utility bills. but you will know very well that's after the event. what is happening with the event. what is happening with the lump sum is that people will have to go cap in hand to the local authority and say i haven't got enough food this week. that's a very different thing from routinely being able to budget your household, maybe you have a couple of children in the house, and budgeting your household. you are talking about a different thing. first of all, local councils are best placed to know their communities and have been working with their communities and helping them throughout the pandemic and the £20 uplift was £9 billion of the a00 billion we have put in the economy to protectjobs and we had something like 11.6 million people on furlough and the work we've done in my department on things like increasing breakfast clubs and free school meals makes a huge difference to those children. the half a billion is very much targeted to make sure that people who are in the most need get that additional help. the other piece of positive news is the jobs market is incredibly vibrant and the chancellor has put in to kick—start and restart, 2.9 point 9,000,000,002 restart and that helps people and the national living wage has brought £a000 into peoples pockets because of that

will speak again in your new role as education secretary. thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, both. today will be a cloudy day but for the next few days for all of us it will be unseasonably warm, notjust by day but also by night as well. what we have at the moment is a weather front draped across parts of scotland and northern ireland in this weather front is waving and will be here for the next few days bringing rain to different parts of scotland and northern ireland, and again notjust by day but also by night. we have the remnants of last night's rent clear in the far north—east and a lot of cloud across the rest of scotland and then persistent rain across the west extending into northern ireland as well. for england and wales, a lot of cloud this morning but there are some breaks but the cloud in the west in particular on the coast and the hills is thick enough to be producing some drizzle or sunlight spots of rain here and there. through the day, we continue with the waving weather front bringing more rain across northern ireland and western scotland and in western scotland in particular we can see those totals mounting up. and there will be brisk winds around this weather front as well. and it might cease on your brakes and we widely look at highs up to 20 degrees. through the evening and overnight he was the waving front which is going a bit further south and taking the rain with it in some clearer skies in the far north of scotland and some clear skies further south and where we have the light breezes and clear skies in the south is where we are likely to see mist and fog patches for me, some of which will be dense by tomorrow morning but it's not going to be a cold night with temperatures across the board staying in double figures. tomorrow we start with fog, particularly across central and southern england and that will be slow to live but when it lifts it will break up and we will see more sunshine coming through. meanwhile we have the waving weather front across northern ireland and western scotland and you will notice how it is pushed back towards the west with temperatures between 15 and 21 degrees. in two saturday we started on my old mate with mist and fog in the south but it will brighten up with sunshine coming through here is the waving weather front which has decided to sink south is a weakening feature so will bring some cloud and rain across northern england and north wales. for northern ireland some brighter skies but also showers and coming in on a north—westerly breeze and temperatures a bit lower behind the weather front but still very mild for the time of year in the south. by the time we get to sunday the weather front continues to move southwards and more or less just a narrow band of cloud and there will be dry and bright weather behind and some sunshine but still showers peppering the north and north—west of scotland and on that breeze temperatures are that bit lower than we will see in the next couple of days. could be a lot worse. after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease in december 2019, rob burrow has been an inspirational figure in his fight against the incurable illness and his determination to raise awareness about it. earlier this week, a group of rugby league legends left leeds on a 100 mile rowing expedition across the pennines in rob's name and to raise money for the mnd association. here's a look at their journey so far. music we are all close—knit and everyone is doing so much for them and rob especially, and as soon as the

feeling mild. more details later. it's thursday, october the 7th. our top story. householders are being warned their energy bills could rise by another £a00 on average early next year after gas prices soared to record levels. that's on top on rises caused by the higher energy price cap that came into effect last week. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, will face industry bosses later today as the sector deals with an unprecedented spike in wholesale costs. kevin peachey reports. just like the season's weather, bill payers are being warned the worst is yet to come. a host of energy companies have collapsed in recent weeks. their customers moved to a new supplier are already having to pay hundreds of pounds more a year than they expected. a price cap does protect millions of people from extreme rises in bills, but, analysts say, next year, they will still face a bill shock. under the price cap, a customer now pays £1277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity. analysts expect that typical bill to rise to £1600 when a revised but as yet undecided cap starts in april. compare that with a year ago, when you could have got a deal costing just over £850 a year. we are competing with the rest of the world, the rest of europe, for gas supplies. unfortunately, it is the reality. price comparison sites would historically talk about how much we can save you by switching. but the reality is that is not there at the moment, and very few people for the whole of this year, really, have been in a position where they would be able to save, compared to last year. still, producers confirmed they halted production at times of high demand, showing that industry, as well as consumers, is feeling the impact of rising costs. some of the heat was drawn from the crisis yesterday when russia said it would increase gas supplies to europe, helping to limit the latest surge in wholesale gas prices. but it hasn't ended cause for the uk government to step in. the business secretary will be expected to address concerns of the energy sector today. but then also the worries of businesses and consumers in the weeks to come. we can speak now to our political correspondent helen catt. prices are going up and a fear in april they could go up substantially and a lot of questions about how the government can react. so and a lot of questions about how the government can react.— government can react. so far, ministers — government can react. so far, ministers have _ government can react. so far, ministers have said _ government can react. so far, ministers have said they i government can react. so far, ministers have said they have | ministers have said they have focused on trying to protect consumers and point to the price cap. they point to things like the half billion pounds fund they have announced to help the poorest people notjust announced to help the poorest people not just with energy announced to help the poorest people notjust with energy bills but all sorts of costs. but there is concern at westminster about things like rising energy bills under pressure from industry for the government to step in. the intensive users energy group that represents those who use a heavy amount of energy to make things like steel and chemicals. they call for the government to step in and say if they don't they might look a temporary factory closures and some suggesting they could return to using fuels more polluting. the government has not sounded like it will step in to do this. it said it has provided extensive support to energy intensive industries and the way the uk is exposed to volatile gas prices shows the importance of building a home grown renewable energy sector. you would expect the energy secretary to talk about that at the conference when he talks to energy leaders. he confirmed that the government has a serious ambition for the uk to stop using fossil fuels by 2035. it seems to be in that context the government is framing its response. whether it will change, we will have to wait and see what develops. a premier league footballer has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman. the man is in his 20s and plays for brighton and hove albion. he was arrested at a nightclub in brighton early on wednesday. the club said it was helping police with the investigation. prince andrew's legal team has been granted permission to review a sealed document they believe will end the sexual abuse lawsuit against him. the document details a settlement between the duke of york's accuser, virginia guiffre, and the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein. the prince has categorically denied ms guiffre's claims. people who have had covid, as well as being double vaccinated, have greater protection from the virus, according to new research. a study run in collaboration with king's college london researchers found that an individual�*s protection against the virus can be as much as 9a per cent if they have tested positive in the past and received both jabs. that falls to 65 per cent if a person is unvaccinated. nine months after it was rolled out, the astrazeneca covid vaccine has finally reached the antarctic. it was flown there this week to immunise the 23 staff members who've been keeping a british research station running through the polar winter. our science correspondent jonathan amos reports. it is literally at the end of the earth. this is the antarctic, a place of extremes where you really must avoid getting sick. which is why the arrival this week of the astrazeneca covid vaccine is so important. it will keep those who work on the white continent safe. getting the coronavirus jabs there, however, has been a grand challenge. it is a 10,000—mile flight from england to the rothera station, with stopovers required in africa and the falklands. but the astrazeneca vaccine is now in the arms of the scientists who reside on the antarctic peninsula during its cold, dark winter. they know it helps protect in case covid got to the station, but also they are going to be leaving in the next few months, anyway, so that group is going to do their summer season at rothera and then they are going back, and perhaps one of the scariest parts is when one of the team get back into uk society and covid, there are so many cases per day. so we are protecting that team before they have to get back on the air bridge flights back to the uk and back to see their family and friends. this is the furthest south the astrazeneca jab has reached. it means all continents have now received at least some doses. there has been very little covid, so far, in antarctica. just one isolated outbreak at a chilean research station. international science agencies want to keep it that way and anyone going south in the coming months will still have to quarantine. jonathan amos, bbc news. the james bond actor daniel craig has been honoured with a star on the hollywood walk of fame. it was unveiled just yards away from his bond predecessor, sir roger moore. speaking at the event, daniel craig joked that it was an "absolute honour to be walked all over in hollywood". see what he did there, charlie? well done, very good. we can check the morning's weather. good morning. good morning. overthe next days and nights the weather will be unseasonably warm. dragging in milder air will be unseasonably warm. dragging in milderairfrom will be unseasonably warm. dragging in milder airfrom the azores. despite the fact some have a waving weather from despite the fact some have a waving weatherfrom producing rain in scotland and northern ireland, here you will also feel the warmth. cloudy today. some sunshine coming through. brisk winds around the rain. temperatures this afternoon, between 16—20. through the evening and overnight, more rain in northern ireland and scotland, and some clear skies in the far north and further south. that will allow mist and fog patches to form. not a cold night. temperatures in double figures. fog will clear from central and southern england in the morning. it should lift into cloud and break up so more sunshine tomorrow than today. a weather front across northern ireland and scotland brings rain and brisk winds around it. temperatures on friday range from 15 in stornoway up on friday range from 15 in stornoway up to 21. but somewhere we might squeeze out 22. 22 degrees in october! it is unusual. 5—7 above average but on tuesday, it is very much like temperatures will be below average so this is short lived. it is a weather roller—coaster. former england footballer turned television presenterjermaine jenas is a high profile name and as such, attracts online abuse on social media much of it racist. jermaine has now made a documentary, looking at the rise in abuse against black footballers after the euros, and is urging the government to force social media companies to stop the trolling. let's take a look. you watched a team, i'm sure that were brothers, who go through quite possibly the toughest moment in their careers. did you know what was coming after that? yes, of course. i think it would make it a lot easier for other people to say what they wanted to say. with the emojis they wanted to put in. because it was three young black players. for me, i take my hat off to them. 1,000,000%. because to step up in a european final for your country and to take a penalty, it takes a strong man to do that. they are heroes to me. you are somebody who has received online racism. have you ever thought about reporting it or is your first thought more on the lines of, i will delete and block that because i can't be bothered to go through the process? exactly what you said. just delete it. i think notjust me, other players, definitely in this team, other players that play for england, everyone has tried. everybody has tried to report it. jermainejenasjoins us now from west london. good morning, what does it feel like to receive abuse based on the colour of your skin? it is to receive abuse based on the colour of your skin?— of your skin? it is disheartening, to say the _ of your skin? it is disheartening, to say the least. _ of your skin? it is disheartening, to say the least. i _ of your skin? it is disheartening, to say the least. i can _ of your skin? it is disheartening, to say the least. i can only i of your skin? it is disheartening, to say the least. i can only talk l of your skin? it is disheartening, | to say the least. i can only talk of myself and how it makes me feel. i have different emotions on different days. some days i feel extremely confident and feel great. i receive the abuse and go to my phone and think i will block them. get rid of everyone. and other days, i am not feeling great and is confident. it has a bigger impact on me and it might work its way to my household. my might work its way to my household. my wife might ask what is going on. it depends on how i feel on any given day. the reality is it is not nice and something i should not have to deal with. i nice and something i should not have to deal with-— to deal with. i imagine it will make ou feel to deal with. i imagine it will make you feel angry _ to deal with. i imagine it will make you feel angry because _ to deal with. i imagine it will make you feel angry because it _ to deal with. i imagine it will make you feel angry because it is - to deal with. i imagine it will make you feel angry because it is not i you feel angry because it is not your responsibility to do the blocking. that behaviour should not be allowed. you face frustration in making sure that doesn't happen. that was almost the inspiration to do the documentary. it was weird because he came —— it came from people doing positive things, that period when people talked about a social media block out, to block the post, this feeling on social media, and take part in a campaign, which was great. but for me it was one else what will happen on monday morning, on tuesday, when the blocking out of social media that weekend is finished? i thought i want to go out and find out what can be done and if social media companies are doing anything to make sure people who are online and causing abuse can be prosecuted. some of the stats channel a came up with, commissioning data and found raheem sterling was subjected to twice as much abuse than harry kane in the euros. much of it being racist. and when you look at where it was coming from and from whom, what did you find was being done about it? ~ ., ., ., , , about it? what i found was being done is not _ about it? what i found was being done is not enough. _ about it? what i found was being done is not enough. from - about it? what i found was being i done is not enough. from twitter's point of view and working with the uk football policing unit, they went through tens of thousands of messages received by footballers that were racist. from twitter's point of view those they deemed racist were 19 and a deleted two. instagram deleted three of 8a accounts. it was a clear indication to me that what they were talking about after the euros and removing accounts was not happening. instagram, another platform saying they have a tool where you can block offensive words. that puts the onus on you as the victim of abuse to deal with it rather than the perpetrator. it does not seem to make sense. it perpetrator. it does not seem to make sense-— perpetrator. it does not seem to make sense. , , ., , make sense. it is exactly that, spot on. if! make sense. it is exactly that, spot on- if i am — make sense. it is exactly that, spot on- if i am the _ make sense. it is exactly that, spot on. if i

being targeted, that they are given a platform to grow and get some kind of pile on headed towards me and any other footballer. why do i have to change and adapt? i suppose there is an element where you feel at least they are doing something but it is not the right direction they are going in. they should head towards the perpetrators, those having an impact on everyone else online and deleting their accounts and making them accountable. they seem to shy away and do not want to take responsibility when it comes to what they really have to do which is why they really have to do which is why the government is getting involved and the online safety belt is starting to be knocked in the right direction, but there is work to do with that as well. its, direction, but there is work to do with that as well.— direction, but there is work to do with that as well. a west brom fan was sent to — with that as well. a west brom fan was sent to prison _ with that as well. a west brom fan was sent

yesterday a suspended sentence for those who targeted the euros penalty takers. but it is not happening quick enough in your view? there are a number of factors regarding that. the police are doing the best they can and working as quick as they can and can only work with what they get back regarding data from the clubs and can only act if the players get in touch and give statements. when they come together they can act quicker but they are reliant on social media companies and how quickly they get the data back to them. what they do is a greatjob. it is great to hear people are being prosecuted. but it is something i think once it happens it needs to be bigger, the message needs to be out there and we need to create a deterrent. so if anybody is sitting there and picks up their phone and sends abusive messages, they need to know they will be caught and that is not what the social media spaces like at the minute. it is a free space for anyone to act how they want and that needs to change.— needs to change. there is something about social — needs to change. there is something about social media _ needs to change. there is something about social media that _ needs to change. there is something about social media that people i needs to change. there is something about social media that people feel l about social media that people feel empowered to say things that they would no way say to somebody�*s face. 100%. a good example is football stadiums. if you go back to the 70s and 80s and there were black football players receiving racial abuse from the stands, the stadiums, and we have gone from bananas thrown onto the pitch to banana emojis being thrown into player dms. this is the racism we deal with online. watch the football community has done, within stadiums, people started policing people. if somebody was stood next to someone chanting racist abuse, it is not accepted. they are looked upon and it is get this person removed, i do not want them to be part of it any more. that is a positive step which is why it is a positive step which is why it is far less in the stadiums. we need to create that environment online. people are leaving stadiums and thinking i will message marcus rashford, raheem sterling, these people and send them racist abuse because no one will do anything, nothing will happen and i can get away with it. nothing will happen and i can get away with it— nothing will happen and i can get away with it. mike will not forgive me if i do not _ away with it. mike will not forgive me if i do not ask. _ away with it. mike

he was talking about. and horribly familiar, that tale that was told. it's early october, but you may well have spotted those christmas displays popping up in the shops. from turkeys, to fake christmas trees, jayne mccubbin has been looking at how some people have started preparing for the festive season early and how businesses will cope. brace yourself. it is only 78 sleeps to christmas. have you gone early, girls? we have. have you gone early? we have. in case anything sells out. there is a real excitement about the prospect of a real christmas this year. have you ever been this early? no. i am normally— a christmas eve person. because last year was so sad, i think everybody is _ excited for this year. but there is also concern. the shortage of drivers for food, things like that. people do panic buy with the food and i don't think they should. but here you are panic buying toys. step insidejed's world. ho, ho, ho! and through the medium ofjust one bauble he will talk us through the pressures putting prices up and supply down. we have had covid and still have it. we have had just recently typhoons in the south china seas that has put 4000, 5000 ships into seeking refuge in different ports. we have port congestion in the world. reduced tonnage on the water, not as many ships on the water. no empty containers — a massive shortage of empty containers. shipping costs have gone from something like $4000 to £20,000, which makes something like that, normally worth a dollar, is worth a fiver now, because of shipping costs. it is causing massive problems. there is a worldwide shortage of artificial christmas trees. global forces are at play, but also the b word — and we are notjust talking baubles. in 2019, a government brexit briefing warned this could happen. operation yellowhammer warned of supply chain shortages, disruption, panic buying and price increases that could disproportionately hit those who could least afford them. this week on this programme, the prime minister gave his thoughts. you say christmas will be better | this year and people will thinkl it is not going to be worse - because last christmas was awful. i think christmas this year will be very onsiderably better than last year. that is a low base. how normal will it be? i think we have reliable supply chains. you are not worried i about supply chains? we have fantastic logistics... are you worried about supply chain issues? i there are obviously issues we have to address. the chancellor has said there is no magic wand to make disruption disappear overnight. and christmas is ten weeks away. sally's traditional christmas turkey farm on the wirral is doing a roaring trade. orders have gone through the roof. half the birds are already sold. they are so excited to order. they want to get organised and they are looking forward to having a normal christmas. a big family christmas. that we could not have last year. they are ordering slightly larger birds with the anticipation of having everyone round, i think. the other force at play is people are aware in the wider industry, there is a supply and demand problem. there is and that applies to larger producers. because these turkeys are produced, slaughtered, dressed by local people on site, sally is not affected by the shortage of hgv drivers, co2 or seasonal european staff, but other factors are pushing turkey prices up. prices on the whole have gone up. there are fuel implications, the price of chicks was up this year. the price of feed is up enormously. how many for dinner last year? six, tops, including youngsters. this year, hopefully twice as many. a handful of towns have decided to cancel the christmas lights switch—on this year but others like blackpool will go big on festivities and go early. brilliant. salt and vinegar. lots of it. last christmas was rubbish for tam and for uk theatreland. his performance of elf was cancelled as rehearsals finished, a casualty of covid. you have definitely gone early. i have. what makes you say that? just my usual outfit! the town really needs it. absolutely. i think the country needs it. we have been through so much. theatres have been dark, hospitality has taken a knock, so we are coming back with a force. in october. christmas comes early. there is a fuel crisis so i set off from the north pole. there's an angle! this year, we will enjoy christmas, but not yet, not quite christmas as we know it. i think what last year proved is how special christmas is and people making the best of it in any way you can you do not need all the tinsel. and that was one happy l. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning with your news from london and the south—east, i'm victoria hollins. the family of a disabled woman who died trapped and grateful tower says it's vital that all disabled people in tower blocks have their own personalised evacuation plans. they are common in workplaces but rare in residential properties but the first phase of the enquiry into grenfell tower said it should change. the government said the plans were unusually unrealistic and has retracted the advice since new guidance has been drawn up. personal evacuation plans are not a luxury but a necessity but a matter of life and death and it affects the disabled person and the human dilemma that family members cannot leave their family members behind in a situation like that. in a statement the government said, "we are committed to improving fire safety which is why we are intending shortyl to implement legislation to deliver the majority of the grenfell phase one recommendations and will be providing guidance in due course." detectives are appealing for help to locate two teenage girls who are missing from the homes in kent and london and who police believe to be at risk of harm. 15—year—old andrea was last seen at her home in canterbury and her cousin, 16—year—old isabella was last seen in harrow on sunday and officers believe they might have been taken outside london. gatwick airport is proposing to cap aircraft noise if its plans to get a second runway into regular use are successful. under its proposals the northern runway currently used for taxi ing and emergencies would be used routinely. the airport says new quieter planes in the future will replace older noisier ones. opponents though say the expansion will be environmentally damaging. well if you're heading out on public transport this morning this is how tfl services are looking right now. most lines running well but minor delays on the metropolitan line and the hammersmith and city. it isa it is a mild start this morning and we have had some warm air moving up from the south overnight but it's fairly moist and it's an overcast start on the front you can see is blocked by the high—pressure and moving away to the north and west, so some may stand murkiness this morning that it should lift on the cloud perhaps a little more stubborn and down in the south—east in kent you might get a spot of light rain and drizzle but largely dry elsewhere and that will clear in the cloud is breaking through the afternoon and temperatures potentially in london at 20 celsius and down the coast, around 18. overnight we will see clear spells and mist and fog in the wind is very light and we will see drier air feeding in from the continent as we head into friday so the mist and fog should lift and that drier air means cloud will start to disappear a little quicker so more chance of sunshine on friday and temperatures warm, between 18 and 20 celsius. i will be back in half an hour. and there's always more on the website. see you soon. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt today marks the 20th anniversary of us airstrikes against al qaeda in afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks the start of two decades of operations in the region for us and allied forces. this summer, troops finally pulled out of the country, as it fell back under taliban rule. our defence correspondentjonathan beale has been speaking to some of those involved in the conflict. a57 british military personnel lost their lives in afghanistan. one of them was brian hill's only son, james. it never leaves us. we don't have a son any more. we don't have any other children. there is an emptiness. there is a whole that nothing can fill. remembrance day for most people is november the 11th, but for the likes of us, remembrance day is everyday. it's nearly 12 years to the day that james hill was killed by an improvised explosive device in helmand province. he was just 23 and about to get married. his parents are proud of his service and his sacrifice. though the recent return of afghanistan to taliban control has been hard for them to bear. if we were to say now, yes, james's life was wasted, then that would hurt us all over again because we have to believe that what he did made a difference. and what they all did, and they gave so much, notjust the ones who died, but the ones who carry on with injuries. one hand says, what the heck did we go there for, and the other hand says, we stopped any terrorist atrocities on our streets. and as claire said, another n9/11. it's very, very difficult. when you balance that, do you think the sacrifice you have made of your only son has been worth it? no. nothing is worth it. that's not worth anything. i mean, with a piece of equipment. over a patch of ground that had been walked on 30 or 40 people already and then a massive explosion, - and i stepped on a pressure plate ied and thankfully it was - only me who got hurt, - but thankfully it was only me. luke is one of one of more than 300 british troops who lost limbs in afghanistan but has battled through his severe injuries with the help of sport. he was due to take part in the tokyo paralympics this summer but because of an injury he had to stay home and witness the collapse of the country in which he once fought. and the desperate scenes of those trying to leave. getting injured are not going to tokyo and then the afghanistan withdrawal, it's been a rough a mentally rough period for the summer. from my point of view, we were on the ground, removing the ieds and giving people safety on the kids ability to go to school and i will never regret that i can hold my head high with what we did out there. if i could make a deal to get my legs back, i would. my idea of afghanistan is that the intent of what we were trying to do was right, but the content was flawed. too little, too late and we quit way too soon. and that is the great tragedy of afghanistan. stuart led the first british troops into helmand province in 2006. he commanded the 3rd battalion, the parachute regiment and suffered the first serious casualties of the war. with dozens injured and 15 killed. what was then supposed to have been a simple, peace support operation turned into a bloody counterinsurgency conflict. if you want to pick the positives out, you can turn around and say we gave the afghans 20 years of an opportunity about how life might be different. that is true. the trouble is, that opportunity never realised itself fully because they are back in control, but i don't think we can be proud of the outcome. we can be proud of what we tried to do as soldiers. but in terms of those responsible for the strategic decisions, i don't think there is a great deal to crow about in terms of there being a particular victory, there is no victory here. we did not win that conflict. there was little fanfare when the last british troops left afghanistan earlier this year. this, the low—key ceremony in kabul before the chaotic exit. wars without victory are often forgotten. but the hopes of all of those who served their and who lost loved ones is that they sacrifice will never be forgotten. our reporter tim muffett is at the national memorial

so what will change today? it might j be awhile since you last pushed one of these around an airport loaded with suitcases ready to go on holiday but this is a crucial week for anybody running foreign travel whether that's a half term holiday or a getaway for some winter sun in the coming weeks. as you said the system that has dictated foreign travel since may when pandemic restrictions began to be lifted was changed at the start of this week. let me explain the new rules... the green, red, amber list has been simplified. there is simply a red list of countries and the rest of the world. fully vaccinated residents and unvaccinated under 18s from countries not on the red list can enter the uk without a pre departure test. they do not have to take a pcr test eight days after their arrival or isolate at home. but what you have to do is take a day to covid test back in the uk but at the moment it is a pcr test but the government hopes it can change it to the cheaper lateral flow test this month but did not give an exact date. you also have to fill in a passenger locator form. date. you also have to fill in a passenger locatorform. if date. you also have to fill in a passenger locator form. if you date. you also have to fill in a passenger locatorform. if you go date. you also have to fill in a passenger locator form. if you go to a red list country, things get expensive and you have to pave £2285 for an 11 night stay at a government approved quarantine hotel in the uk and at the moment there are about 50 countries on that red list including mexico, tunisia, south africa and various others. we expect to lead countries to be taken off the list this week but we will have to wait and see whether that opens up many more long haul destinations. let's find out what the changes mean for us as holiday—makers and also the travel industry and with me isjulia from advantage travel partnership and you represent a lot of independent travel agents, so what has the difference? it independent travel agents, so what has the difference?— has the difference? it has simplify the difference _ has the difference? it has simplify the difference and _ has the difference? it has simplify the difference and giving -
