live streamed to hundreds of care homes across the uk to thank staff and residents for their resilience during the pandemic. good morning. the nhs has launched its biggest campaign against winterflu, with more than a0 million people across the uk being offered a vaccine. health chiefs are worried about the prospect of flu and covid—19 circulating together. they fear people could be more vulnerable to catching flu this winter, because so few people caught it last year, as a result of the lockdowns and additional hygiene measures that were in place. our health correspondent naomi grimley reports. i've got together some of the country's leading medics to answer your vaccine questions... this is the latest media advert to remind us that it's notjust covid which we have to worry about this winter. flu could rear its head again, too. so more than a0 million people across the uk are being offered a flu jab in the biggest ever roll—out of the vaccine. those who will be able to get one free include the over—50s, those with certain health conditions, pregnant women, health care workers, and most children. lockdowns and extra hygiene measures squashed flu last winter, and that means the level of immunity in the population is likely to be lower this time round. there's also uncertainty about how effective the flu vaccine will be, because scientists have less information to go on when they guess the strain in advance. even if you've had flu vaccination last year, it's really important to get it every year because the strains of flu that are circulating do change. we are in a position where we're not quite as sure this year what's going to be circulating, but we have got some idea from the southern hemisphere, and flu vaccination is still your best way of getting protection. even if it doesn't provide complete protection, if you do get flu you are much less likely to be seriously unwell with it. and, really importantly, you're much less likely to pass it on to other people who could be even more vulnerable. flu normally kills around 11,000 people every winter, but a report published earlier this year from the academy of medical sciences warned respiratory illnesses could hit very high levels, and flu deaths alone could reach 60,000 in worst case scenario. naomi grimley, bbc news. that talk to a viral adjust from the university of edinburgh, tell us

publish its covid winter plan today, with a warning that businesses could have to shut again if there's a new variant or a drop in levels of immunity. but the current restrictions such as the instruction to work from home, if possible could be relaxed if cases fall. the us has stepped up the pressure on russia over the shortage of gas in europe, warning moscow not to exploit the situation. president biden's national security adviser, jake sullivan, told the bbc that russia, which is europe's primary supplier of gas, had previously used energy as a political weapon, but doing so now would be counterproductive. wholesale gas prices have soared amid rising demand across europe, but fell back this week after the russian president, vladimir putin, said moscow could increase supplies. mark lobel reports. the gas and electricity price surge is alarming consumers across europe. i am very, very worried. very concerned. we struggle enough. translation: there are mothers today have to choose between paying - for their energy bill or feeding their children. that is the problem. the colder weather is coming fast. we need to heat apartments. if you go to the poorer areas, where they are suffering, no one puts on the heating, because everyone knows they won't be able to pay for it. a record demand for gas and limited storage in the eu is fuelling politicians�* fears for the future. russia supplies a0% of the eu's natural gas imports. moscow once feared a falling oil price would undermine its economy. now it is calling the shots. watch the price of gas plummet as vladimir putin is televised suggesting a possible increase of gas supply on wednesday. but he has little sympathy for his european customers. translation: all of its activities were aimed at curtailing - the so—called long—term contracts focusing on the transition to gas exchange trading. it turns out this policy was wrong, it didn't account for uncertainties. russia's main gas producer insists it is blameless. translation: since the beginning of the year, we have supplied - foreign markets with near—record amounts of gas. we have increased deliveries to our largest consumer market, germany, by a third compared to last year, to turkey by two and a half times, to romania by four times. we've supplied additional volumes of gas along all routes, including the ukrainian route, as much as we could. but ukraine's gas operator says russia has reduced the amount it routes through the country between january and september by 17% compared to the previous year. russia says the new nord stream 2 underwater pipeline would save europe's sticky situation, but only if germany and brussels quickly approved the project to get it flowing. not everyone thinks russia is acting reasonably. we have long been concerned about russia using energy as a tool of coercion and a political weapon. we had seen it happen before and we could see it happen again. i think it would be a mistake for russia to try to exploit this, i think that would ultimately backfire on them and i believe that they should respond to the market demands for increased energy supplies to europe. that comes from more demand as countries emerge from the pandemic, depleted storage tanks after a cold engine to the winter, china consuming more gas and low wind speeds that reduce renewable energy. so right now, russia remains under pressure to increase supply, driven by a volatile market which is powering its bargaining position too. mark lobel, bbc news. marcus rashford has made a fresh attack on the government following

claimants through the toughest stages of the pandemic and now the economy was starting to bounce back it was right to focus on helping people back into high—quality, well—paid jobs. people back into high—quality, well—paidjobs. it people back into high—quality, well—paid jobs. it said it had taken what called significant action to help people they recognise are worried about the cost of living. transport secretary grant shapps pay tribute to marcus rashford but said reinstating the uplift would come at a cost, likely to mean more taxes or putting up fuel duty or other ways of increasing that revenue. it is a live debate in westminster speaking more generally about the recognition that prices are going up around the board, particularly the squeeze on energy prices, there are concerns there is nervousness about how that will play out this winter.— will play out this winter. thank ou, will play out this winter. thank you. helen- — democrats and republicans in the senate have reached a short term deal which allows the government to borrow more money. it's aimed at preventing the us treasury from defaulting on its debts for the first time ever, but the agreement only lasts for two

last couple of hours the political drama has played out here in dc that the democrats are hoping the republicans would get on board to try to at least get it through the signage, they needed at least ten republicans, they got 11 to help break the filibuster better. it was approved by the senate, it has to go to the house to be approved, which it will be because the democratic party controls the house, it will land on the desk of president biden, he will sign it, $a80 billion to cover spending until december to third. it reverts a huge crisis, it is probably an understatement to even call it that because america had not defaulted on its debts, it could have got into a recession. the economy is already precarious, americans would have experienced realfinancial hardship, experienced real financial hardship, people experienced realfinancial hardship, people would not have been paid, global markets would have been in turmoil, the credit rating agencies which have downgraded america's

employees in the future. eight locations have made it to the next stage of the contest to become the uk's city of culture in 2025. not all of them are cities, with cornwall and county durham among the contenders. the others include armagh city, stirling, wrexham and bradford. the title is awarded every four years and is currently held by coventry. let's bring you a full book at the weather forecast for today and the weekend. one thing that ties all of those cities together is the temperature this morning. a pretty mild start. when you have the sunshine, there has been some across lancashire in the last hour, a beautiful start over the pennines. or whether you have got the cloud, and a brace of rain, it was a soggy start today in northern ireland. temperatures well above where we would normally expect to start an october morning. temperatures around the region of seven or nine degrees, but even a cooler spot, seven or nine degrees, but even a coolerspot, in seven or nine degrees, but even a cooler spot, in the highlands, we have seen temperatures here drop no lower than nine degrees. most places sitting in the mid teens at the moment. another pretty warm day out there across the uk. but even though there across the uk. but even though the temperatures are up, the rain is falling for some. we got some heavy rain pushing into central south—western scotland. we had a brief respite from the rain in northern ireland, more showers pushing on. they will slide their way into other parts of western scotland as we go into the afternoon. it does mean that eventually, after some early rain in the east of scotland, things are brighten through the afternoon to the south, a bright afternoon to the south and east of northern ireland. england and wales, we still have missed on hill fog around across the south. some of the low cloud will take awhile to shift and break. but mostly sunny spells. when the sun is out, temperatures 20 or 23 degrees. a warm end to the day and a warm night for the vast majority. there will be more rain in western scotland. the rain will be heavy later in the night. england and wales stay largely dry. for north midland and northern england, greater chance of mist and fog. this is where the coolest conditions will be to start a saturday morning. towards the south—east corner, temperatures in single figures. the orange colours and the child, swept away by the weather front as we go through the weekend and towards the start of next week. here it is to start of next week. here it is to start saturday, bringing rain to begin with, western parts of scotland and northern ireland. it will brighten up through the day, turning whatever other parts of southern and western scotland. eventually, north—western lead, parts of wales. much of england and wales will stay dry. morning mist and fog should lift. sunny spells, not quite as warm as today. still high teens, low 20s, higher than they should be. feeling fresher, even with the sunshine across western scotland and northern ireland. the fresh air pushing southwards and eastwards into sunday. the weather front by the stage, nothing more than a zone of cloud, one or two motor showers in the south. showers pushed along by a stiff breeze on sunday. out in the sunshine, it will feel much fresher. temperatures for most 1390 degrees. pleasant enough in the sunshine. it is a step to something cooler, and as we go into next week, temperatures, instead of climbing into the low 20s, set into the low to mid teens for most, a few showers dotted round the coast. for the majority, next week is looking largely dry. hello this is bbc news with me victoria derbyshire. the headlines... more than a0 million of us across the uk are being offered a flu jab this winter in the

on the covid red list, from 5a to seven, as like "seeing light at the end of a very long tunnel". from monday, people arriving from destinations including brazil, mexico, south africa and thailand won't need to quarantine in a hotel. the government will also recognise more vaccine certificates, to confirm that people coming from abroad have been fully vaccinated against the virus. our transport correspondent caroline davies has more. piece by piece, plane by plane, international travel has been reopening. now the red list has dramatically reduced. the red list was 5a countries long. from monday, it will shrink to just seven — mostly in south america. arrivals from here will still need to stay in a quarantine hotel. it means that families like the pernies — who live in south africa — can come back to see loved ones in the uk. it's something they've been planning, even before the announcement. we know now that we can go home if we need to, and we can see parents and be there if anything happens. and likewise, ijust can't wait to get my parents back out here again and hopefully have a family christmas this year. right through this door, please. people jabbed in south africa will also have their vaccinations recognised, along with arrivals from 36 other countries newly added. it means they'll be able to avoid quarantine, but only if they've been jabbed using astrazeneca, pfizer, moderna orjanssen. the travel industry is pleased, but it's also waiting impatiently for the government to set a date for when they'll change the requirement from a pcr test to the cheaper lateral flow test for travellers arriving in the uk. the government have announced that they are changing the day two required test. at the minute, that's a pcr test. that will change to a lateral flow test. but we're still to hear that date, although we believe it will be some time at the end of this month. the government has said that they are aiming to implement that change by half term. some scientists are worried this decision is too early, while the virus still circulates and many globally are unvaccinated. obviously what we don't want to do is, while we are trying to get the virus under control in this country, introduce lots of new cases, because people will come and then they'll set up sort of clusters of infection in their friends and family as they come back from where they've been. but the government have argued that now is the time to bring down some of these boundaries and start to open back up to the world. caroline davies, bbc news. our health respondent is

you heard, one of i the important changes that is coming in is a switch in the test that you have to take when you return to the uk. so, this is people from england at the moment, if you are fully vaccinated, in the past you needed what was a pcr test, so this is one where you send off, you normally get it delivered at home, you take it and it goes to a laboratory to be processed. it can be quite pricey, prices vary, but it can be up to £100, sometimes more than that. they are switching back to the lateral flow tests. these are the ones you take at home yourself. they are much faster. they give a result within 15 minutes. there has been some debate about when this change is coming in. grant shapps was talking about it this morning. a lot of pressure for the government to do this by half term holidays, which for most parts of england is the 25th of october that week. he says this morning he can't guarantee that, but he is hoping to do it by the end of october. the plan and the hope is to bring it in before half term. because of various complications about the shift, they might not be able to do it by that date. ii'idfa�*e able to do it by that date. have these lateral— able

picking up been relatively effective at picking up people who have high levels of virus in their system. the pcr test, thatis virus in their system. the pcr test, that is seen as picking up people who have maybe had the virus for longer, but can no longer be infectious because they are picking up infectious because they are picking up traces of the virus that exists days or weeks after you have been infected. in that sense, it's quite good. there are disadvantages with the lateral flow test. you do it at home, so certain parts of this have to be taken on trust. it is no longer going to a laboratory. the government was trying to get round this by saying if you take this at home, you have to pay for it, you still have to pay for the test, you can't take on nhs one, it looks like you have to take a photo of the test, and send it off to this provider, to verify you actually have got a negative result, and you are not faking the system or doing something you shouldn't do. but you could use somebody _ something you shouldn't do. but you could use somebody else, _ something you shouldn't do. but youj could use somebody else, somebody who is negative, if you happen to be

balances as you get with a pcr test. the other advantage with a laboratory test as you can do something called sequencing it, when it is in a laboratory, they look at the genetic make—up of your test result and they can tell what type of version, which variant of coronavirus that you have. that is useful for picking up coronavirus that you have. that is usefulfor picking up new coronavirus that you have. that is useful for picking up new variants that might be coming into the country, like the delta variant, that might spread more quickly, or might be more resistant to vaccines. you can't do that with a lateral flow test. the answer, the government says, is if you test positive on lateral flow, you then get a free nhs pcr test sent to you, which you then send off in a normal way to get sequenced and process that result in that way. of course, there is an issue here about whether people would do it in the way they said they would, whether that delay in getting the test through to you, to take some days, if that could mean you are infectious for that time on the virus can spread more quickly. there is some criticism from some scientists on that note. thanks very much, jim. more than a million asian people fought with the allies during the first and second world wars, and tens of thousands lost their lives. some young british asians think more should be done to remember those

marcus rashford warns of the effects of the government's decision to remove the £20 per week increase to universal credit. doctors are being warned to look out for a dangerous work—out trend called dry scooping stop it involves eating protein supplements meet, rather than diluting them in water. the worry is that teenagers or others may try it, spurred on by a flurry of internet videos. let's talk to nutrition scientist bridget, from the british nutrition foundation. what is the problem with this? :, :,: :, this? the main active ingredient of these powders _ this? the main active ingredient of these powders is _ this? the main active ingredient of these powders is caffeine. - this? the main active ingredient of these powders is caffeine. they . these powders is caffeine. they vary, in terms of the level of the caffeine content, from anything equivalent to one cup of filter coffee to three four. that's a lot of caffeine in one dose. if you are preparing these made up to the manufacturing structures, that is one thing. if you are eating the dry powder, you may be getting that there was much more quickly, and you may also be having more than the manufacturer recommends. the key issue here is the potentialfor having much too much caffeine at once. and what we don't know is how this impacts on the general population. we have research around caffeine and performance in athletes. but when you are looking athletes. but when you are looking at an athlete, that person is usually with a team around them looking after them, checking their medical health, they will be aware of their medical records. in the wider population, there can be a lot of variability in terms of how sensitive people are to caffeine, and we probably know that there are some people who can't have coffee in the evening, or they can't sleep. so, if you are getting a lot of caffeine in one go, there is the potential for unpleasant side—effects. they are not necessarily serious. it could just be feeling jittery, as perhaps we will have when we have had too much coffee. but if you are sensitive to caffeine, or if you have an underlying medical condition that you may not be aware of, then there is a potential risk ofjust having much too much caffeine at once. ok. do ou much too much caffeine at once. ok. do you believe _ much too much caffeine at once. 0k. do you believe that is

what they are doing, we don't know how people are taking them. clearly they are taking them according to these videos in a way that is not made up according to the manufacturer's instructions, which is usually one scoop of powder made up to be a drink, where you would be getting probably the caffeine more slowly, you would be getting water at the same time. so there is really no need to take supplements before you go to the gym or before you train. but if you are going to take them, it is really important to follow the manufacturer instructions and you don't take more, because these ingredients are powerful and potentially can affect your health. it's interesting you say you don't need supplements at all, all of the so—called nutritional drinks at all before you do some exercise or go to the gym. why do you say that? 50. before you do some exercise or go to the gym. why do you say that? so, we know from research _ the gym. why do you say that? so, we know from research in _
